Raymond looked at the comatose "No. 1 Assassin in the World" with a slightly different expression.

...

The fifth Heines Notebook allowed Raymond to successfully advance to Soul System Sequence 5 [Godfather of the Undead].

This is also the turning point for the soul sequence of Haines Notes to enter a high level.

He had heard this statement from his cheap "senior brother" Puius before. After Sequence 5, the contents recorded in Heins' notes really began to touch the taboo field of soul spells.

A legendary level magic potion with still strong properties.

Moreover, this potion has richer attributes than the previous low-level potions!

Detailed explanation: A powerful soul potion, which allows you to exude a charm derived from your soul, reduce the hostility of surrounding soul creatures, and increase your favorability; the potion is fused to adaptively increase your attributes; it allows you to possess the power of the undead.

feel a sense of surrender;

Putting aside the increase in other powerful soul attributes of this potion, Raymond was greatly surprised by the increase in the special attribute "charm".

For players with high charm attributes, their hatred will be reduced by killing monsters, their chances of triggering hidden tasks will increase, and NPC favorability will be easily increased...

In the game, charm and luck are classified into the category of "metaphysics", which can only be met but not sought.

Only now did Raymond understand that the charm value comes from the attributes of the soul.

...

This [Godfather of the Undead] potion has super strong properties, allowing Raymond to achieve a qualitative leap in mental strength.

He didn't have to be reluctant to cast a spell like the time he saved the elf prince Ige. This time he successfully cast [Spirit-Restraining General] and successfully separated the two entangled twin souls in one go.

Raymond had a long conversation with "Corpse Witch" Puius before and learned many secrets.

Now he also knows that the legendary magic potion left in Hayings' notes is just a "stepping stone". The real value is immeasurable, but the secrets recorded in the notes by "Soul Emperor" Hayings himself.

And the contents recorded in the fifth volume of Hynes's notebooks began to really become "explosive".

After reading the notes, Raymond finally understood what the fundamental principle of the World Headquarters' so-called "devout" plan was, and why they were able to control so many forces, including the navy, CP9, Anzi... but not...

Someone "betrayed"!

[Haynes' Death Note 5] contains such content, excerpted as follows:

"At that time, almost the entire world was shrouded under the terrifying control of the 'evil god'... Thirteen of us old guys conspired to jointly fight against this powerful existence that should be called the 'Lord of the Old' in history. But those beliefs

The 'fanatic believers' of the evil god have caused us enough suffering. Some of their cognitions are so paranoid that it is unbelievable. We once thought that they were hopeless degenerates..."

"Later, I read and studied many documents and records handed down from ancient civilizations, learned about many lost soul taboos, and finally discovered some clues. I discovered that there are some weird 'backdoors' in the souls of the followers of the evil god. Later.

After in-depth research, I realized that it is a kind of 'slave mark' that can change the subjective perception of the human soul..."

"This discovery confirms to me that the evil god has some ability to 'deceive the world'. Countless humans live in a deliberately distorted perception of the world. This also confirms that we must overthrow the enslavement of the evil god and change The determination of the world..."

"What scares me is that the evil god is dead, but the 'slave marks' of some fanatical believers are still there! For this reason, I left some backup tools, such as... these notes."

"Based on the ancient soul secrets passed down, I created a forbidden spell [Slavery Mark] with similar principles to the evil god's method. Although the spell is not as rigorous as the evil god's method, I have also clarified some of its context. I want to use Based on this technique, we can reverse the spell and find a way to crack the mark of the evil god..."

"It's a pity that I don't have enough time... I hope that in the future my successors can follow the ideas I left and find a way to crack it. Because when you see the content of this note, you probably have some terrible conjectures of mine. It became a reality..."

"..."

After all, thousands of years have passed, and the relevant historical records have become blank due to the deliberate cover-up by the World Headquarters. Some of the contents in the notes left by Heins are already somewhat confusing.

Raymond knew that he might need to collect a few more notebooks before he could clearly understand what happened in the "Heroic Age" and what historical truth the Twelve Sages had concealed.

but,

After successfully advancing to Sequence 5, he also successfully understood the forbidden spell created by Haines from his notes.

[Soul Slavery Mark (SS Level) Lv0]

Epic Soul Spell

Potential points required for upgrade 0/88888

Detailed explanation: You can create a soul sigil to control free spirits; the casting process is irreversible; the higher the skill level, the stronger the enslavement mark, and the higher the success rate; in the cognition of the controlled target, you are irreversible. "Godfather of the Soul"; when the caster dies, the soul mark disappears;

Raymond has yet to figure out whether the "devotee" plan of the World Headquarters has any connection with the evil god's "slavery mark" recorded in Haines' notes.

But thinking about it, the principles of the two should be similar. They are both spiritual "means" that make people believe in them.

Once upon a time, Raymond thought that this [Soul Slavery Mark] was a useless skill.

Because what he is currently mastering is a "retrograded version" of the skill created by Haynes himself. It has a big shortcoming, that is, it can only imprint free souls, but not living creatures.

But in some special circumstances, such as after the human body dies, the soul will leave the body... But the soul that leaves the body after death has no "consciousness" in the first place, and it has no effect if it is enslaved.

But now, he seems to have found a new use of this skill.

...

With this full-level Soul Forbidden Technique, Raymond looked at the comatose "No. 1 Assassin in the World" and his eyes were different again.

Due to severe injuries and curses, a gray shadow appeared in this guy's body, but Raymond knew that his soul was in a state of dissociation.

Because of this phenomenon, the system clearly prompts that the spell can be cast.

For example, the fusion of human body and soul is usually 100%, completely integrated into one body. There is no possibility of successful casting of [Soul Slavery Mark].

Now that Arnold's soul and body integration degree is only 80%, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Raymond now has no shortage of potential points. Although epic-level (SS-level) skills consume a lot of potential points, there is no threshold for comprehension. He directly reached the full level.

He wanted to give it a try. If he could really enslave the soul in a non-free state, this skill would be awesome!

[Ding! Do you want to cast ‘Slavery Mark’ on the target? Yes/No]

【yes!】

[Ding! The level gap, your spell failed, the target soul strength -10%...]

The target was to kill their enemy just now, and Raymond had no intention of being merciful at all.

If this attempt succeeds, he may be able to obtain a powerful soul slave.

If it fails, there is nothing to lose. You have to kill him anyway.

Therefore, he confirmed the casting again.

[Ding! Release the spell...]

[Ding! There is a gap in level. Your spell failed. The target soul is in a weak state and is about to collapse. If you cast the spell carefully...]

[Ding! Release the spell...]

[Ding! The spell casting was successful, the target ‘Arno Dorian’ was successfully branded with a spiritual mark, and your current number of soul slaves is 1;]

"It's done?"

Finally, before the weak "Number One Assassin in the World" died, a piece of good news came from the system.

When Raymond heard that reminder, his indifferent eyes that had no hope at all suddenly burst into light.

After being stunned for a moment, his face showed joy.

"It's really done?!"

Raymond's eyes sparkled, a little unbelievable. If the skill explanation is really as good as it is, this soul slave completely obeys the "master's" orders, pointing east and not daring to go west, and killing whoever points...

Doesn't that mean he has the sharpest knife in the world?

...

Things changed so quickly. From the moment when the giant Thor rushed up to Arno, who was seriously injured and vomited blood, and then was stripped of his soul and imprinted with his soul mark by Raymond, the whole process only lasted a few breaths.

Although the rest of the ghost group didn't understand what happened, they all guessed that Raymond must have used some method.

This crisis, which was enough to destroy the Ghost Group, was quietly resolved by Raymond without any danger.

At this moment,

Lulu on the side asked: "Captain, what should we do with this guy now? Do we want to kill him?"
