The deal between Su Xiao and the Soul Clock Tower was successfully negotiated on the premise that each had their own hidden agendas... ahem! Each was sincere.
Where to go to trade has become a problem. Come to the "Empire Special Affairs Department"? Of course Su Xiao is relieved and welcome, but the Soul Clock Tower is firmly opposed to this. Going to the Soul Clock Tower? Su Xiao also agrees. The problem is that some souls are also encountered.
Instructor's objection.
The Soul Bell Tower has a total of twelve soul mentors and thirty teaching mentors. These twelve soul mentors are undoubtedly the mainstay in the position of the Lord of the Bell Tower.
Speaking of which, anyone else would really not dare to kill Emmanuel, the Black Mentor, in this way. The subsequent revenge would be enough to make the person who did it drink a glass of wine.
The problem is, Su Xiao is not afraid of this revenge. On the contrary, he likes to see these people who come to give him the Source of the World. Before cleaning up the abyss spread area, he did not get even 0.1% of the Source of the World, so he is in urgent need of the Source of the World now.
.
Whether the source of the world can reach 350% this time, from a certain perspective, is as important as the main mission.
The conservative among the twelve soul mentors refused to trade in the Soul Clock Tower because Su Xiao would not be merciful in killing the soul mentor.
In the end, the two parties decided to complete the transaction in the "former Kingdom Council Hall" in the back area of the palace, which had been abandoned for many years.
At one o'clock that afternoon, the lord train entered the palace. With Su Xiao's current identity and the old king's permission, he was now one of the few who did not need to be interrogated when entering the palace.
The train stopped in front of a fountain, and a large group of birds were frightened. Su Xiao got off the train, and as soon as she entered the grand and old former Kingdom Council Hall, she saw a man about 1.4 meters tall with a haggard body.
A little old man with a bald head and a total of 11 black holes on his head is the contemporary Lord of the Clock Tower, Silgover.
Silgover gives the impression that he has a big head and a small body. The eyes of ordinary members of the Soul Clock Tower will be soul-clear blue, while the mentor level is dark blue, but Silgover's eyes are so dark blue that they are completely pitch black.
The dark soul spread, forming a twisted multi-eyed giant monster, and the blood energy spread, forming a huge blood beast that was hiding and grinning. For a time, the sound of needle drops could be heard in the former Kingdom Council Hall.
The three soul mentors who came here together had sweat on their foreheads. Outsiders could not understand how oppressive they felt when facing the Minister of the Empire's Special Affairs Department. There was a faint tingling sensation on their body surfaces, as if they took a step forward.
Mountains of swords and seas of blood, take one step back and fall into the abyss.
The three soul mentors all have the same expectation and want to complete the transaction as soon as possible.
"Heh, heh, heh~"
Silgover, the Lord of the Clock Tower with dark eyes, laughed, and the dark monster representing his aura disappeared.
"It seems that both of us are very sincere."
The Lord of the Clock Tower, Silgover, raised his hand, and the soul master on the side handed over a sealed ball covered with dirty white bandages. This thing was about the size of a football, and what was sealed inside was the "largest overlord essence in history."
Su Xiao threw out the [Soul Secret Treasure Box], and Silgover, the Lord of the Clock Tower opposite, almost unanimously threw out the sealing device.
Kakaka~
The crystal layer clung to Su Xiao's hand, and he caught the sealing device with one hand. On the opposite side, the Lord of the Bell Tower, Silgover's right hand was wrapped in the power of the dark soul, and he caught the [Soul Secret Treasure Box].
For a moment, both sides were silent, and the atmosphere in the parliament hall was a bit awkward.
"..."
Su Xiao and the Lord of the Clock Tower, Silgover, walked out of the parliament hall almost at the same time, because almost at the same time, both sides stopped in their tracks due to each other's actions.
This is almost always a clear sign that everything traded by both parties has problems. It just depends on who will be more ruthless in the future.
"The visitor is a guest, little Dharma-killer, you go first."
The Lord of the Clock Tower, Silgover, said with a smile. He jumped back to the table. His loose robes and his aura made people feel that the Lord of the Clock Tower was far more powerful than what the intelligence said.
Even more difficult to deal with, those who can open 11 "spiritual holes", looking at the history of the Soul Clock Tower, are the most ruthless among ruthless people.
"..."
After Su Xiao left the parliament hall, he boarded the Lord's Train directly and rushed out of the palace. He wanted to find a place to get rid of this time bomb in his hand.
When the lord train stopped again, it was already more than 3,000 kilometers east of the royal city. This was the original spreading area of the abyss No. 58. The original garrison had not yet withdrawn. When a vehicle stopped at a terrifying speed, it happened to be inside the fortress.
After gathering, they discovered that it was the Lord train. After reporting the matter to the honorary second lieutenant stationed there, the female second lieutenant's order was concise and concise, so she pretended not to have seen it.
Su Xiao came to the center of this dark land. The breeze was blowing. The place was a bit cold and damp. He released his blood and formed an "Iron-Blooded Oath" on the back of his left hand. He pressed it on the ground with one hand and spread the Aoge crystals to form a summoning array.
The blood-colored light of the summoning array bloomed. When the blood light dissipated, an iron-blooded hound with dark red, hairless and shiny skin, tight and strong muscles all over the body, and a body length of more than 30 meters appeared. Among all the iron-blooded hounds, it appeared.
The only defensive iron-blooded hound, it is also Su Xiao's most trusted iron-blooded hound, the giant blood tooth.
"Bai Ye, sir."
The giant blood tooth spoke in a loud voice. Its Void Speech has improved, at least it is much better than last time. Although it is stumbling, at least the pronunciation is still accurate.
Compared with the last time we saw it, the aura of the giant blood tooth is at least 30% stronger than last time. It seems that it swallowed more than 300 "Titanosaurus Hearts" last time, which increased its size from 20 meters to
30 meters level.
Not only that, the overlord equipment [Iron-blooded Dog], which ranks 157th among the overlord equipment, has been activated.
"Killing Resonance (Core·Passive), you will enhance the iron-blooded hound you summoned. The degree of enhancement will be determined according to your charm attribute. Due to the special characteristics of the iron-blooded hound family, the lower your charm attribute, the greater the enhancement effect will be.
powerful.
Your current true charm attribute is: -35 points.
The current increase intensity is: 826%.
Tips: The combat power of the Iron-Blooded Hound that has been summoned by you and has been buffed by the Overlord Equipment "Killing Resonance" for more than 5 natural days will be greatly and permanently improved (the extent of the increase will be based on the current combat power of the Iron-Blooded Hound.
(depending on strength).”
The muscles all over the giant blood tooth are surging, and its skin changes from light red to dark red, and in the neck, abdomen and other areas where the defense is relatively weak, semi-circular bones the size of fists are pushed up under the skin, a kind of flow
The liquid flows slowly under the skin. When the giant blood tooth is injured, the liquid skin will immediately fill it up.
Su Xiao released 500 "Titan Hearts" from the team's storage space and piled them into a hill. After getting his permission, the giant blood tooth began to devour. After a while, it swallowed the last "Titan Heart".
"Dragon Heart", just like last time, there were more than a dozen "Titan Dragon Hearts" in its belly, but it didn't absorb them.
Let the giant blood teeth digest the "Titan Dragon Heart" nearby, Su Xiao took out the sealing device that was like a bandage, looked at the darkness visible to the naked eye, and used the [Fallen Demonic Eye] on it.
"The Fallen Demonic Eye: After use, you can see through darkness for a short time, or remove the intense darkness on items."
The special energy transformed into [Fallen Demonic Eye] penetrated into the seal. When [Fallen Demonic Eye] took effect, Su Xiao threw a severed finger to the giant blood tooth, and the giant blood tooth swallowed it in one gulp.
"Severed Finger of Suffering (disposable item): When carrying this item, when you suffer curses and resentments (super high-risk negative status), this severed finger will actively absorb the curses and resentments you will endure."
It consists of a finger-thick spirit shadow line. The giant blood tooth opens its mouth and approaches, allowing the crystal spikes at the tip of the spirit shadow line to pierce the inner wall of its mouth. It closes its mouth and waits.
After doing this, Su Xiao opened the sealing device.
boom!!
Violent dark power erupted from the seal. This dark existence was obviously intelligent and knew how to disguise itself. It was covered in darkness on the surface, and inside was a layer of green poisonous curse. And at the innermost part, there was a darkness that was so dense that it seemed to have no end.
The dark power formed a skull and attacked Su Xiao brazenly. The giant blood tooth has been tightly entangled with a kind of black tentacles. This clearly means that the dark evil in this seal has eroded the seal to a certain extent and can initially
Be aware of the external situation.
Not only that, this dark evil is so cunning that it has been unable to swallow the huge parasitic overlord spirit. It clearly knows that if it does so, it will be sealed by the Soul Clock Tower forever. Unless the Soul Clock Tower is destroyed, it will be with the Soul Clock Tower.
The hatred in the Soul Clock Tower has long been irresolvable.
The Soul Clock Tower is a conspiracy. If Su Xiao releases the dark evil and does not deal with it, but continues to exist by parasitizing in the overlord's soul, it will inevitably completely absorb the overlord's soul and use the power of this soul to breed.
To create a body that can accommodate it, this means that the Soul Clock Tower has taken away the [Soul Secret Treasure Box] from Su Xiao.
As for Su Xiao's fight against the dark evil, the Soul Clock Tower is even more happy to see it. As a result of this battle, even if the dark evil is eliminated, the huge overlord spirit that parasitizes it must be riddled with holes, and the spirit power inside it must be riddled with holes.
In the battle, the dark evil depleted most of it, or even completely depleted it.
What the dark evil wants to do at this moment is to pretend to kill Su Xiao. In fact, it has already figured out how to get out of here.
The dark skeleton attacked Su Xiao, and he slashed forward.
'Perfect block.'
when!
There was a crisp sound of gold and iron, and Dark Evil felt its consciousness tremble violently. It was forced to break away from the parasitic overlord's spirit. This perfect block really stunned Dark Evil.
Su Xiao even bounced the "Dark Space, Instant Death Ability of Transferring Characteristics" of the ancestor of Dukain, and the dark evil that came towards him was much easier to block than the "instant death black ball" of the ancestor of Dukain.
However, the next thing happened that the dark evil could not have imagined. The law-destroying shadow in front of him actually raised one hand, and a spiritual shadow line spread out from his hand. This movement, and the spiritual shadow line flew out.
The overall structure made the dark evil suddenly recall the Tulin Black Tower that sealed him in the first place.
Dark Evil never expected that the Law-Destroying Shadow he met was actually a seal master. This was completely unreasonable. How could a Law-Destroying Shadow try to master the science of sealing? Isn’t this what he wanted to do when he was full?
.
In fact, Su Xiao did not want to master the science of sealing. He was mainly urged by six strict masters. He must either become a master of sealing or die from a big daddy-level original sin object. Obviously, it is more reasonable to master the science of sealing to the maximum extent.
choose.
The spiritual shadow line constitutes the first layer of seals. At this moment, the dark evil is still somewhat lucky. Looking forward to this shadow of destruction, it is only a preliminary grasp of seal science. But the next second, a total of 3562 layers of seals are formed, and it only takes 1 second.
.
Five minutes later, the dark evil inside the new seal fell into despair. A total of 1.05 million layers of sealing techniques trapped it in the seal. This 'new home' was much stronger than the 'old home', and the sealing device that sealed it before
, a total of more than 5,000 layers, and now the mantissa of the number of seal layers is ten times more than the number of layers in 'home'.
Su Xiao's arrangement just now was of course for the eyes of the dark evil. If the other party found out that the person who opened the seal was emboldened, they would probably jump over the wall and destroy the parasitic overlord's spirit. In order to be more sincere, Su Xiao even used
[The Fallen Demonic Eye].
As the sealing device was completely opened, the Overlord Essence, like a large ball of dark golden flames, floated in mid-air. After confirming that there was no problem with the Overlord Essence, he took out the [Object of Oath (Special Item)] and activated it.
Yes, this object can be activated, but after activating it, the demon blacksmith cannot produce forging materials that are satisfactory to the demon blacksmith. The demon blacksmith will take back this [object of oath].
Click!
Cracks appeared in the nearby space, as if it had been hit by a hammer. After a short period of silence, the space shattered silently. The figure was tall and tall, with dark red and rough skin all over his body. There were curved ram horns on the top of his head, and his eyes looked like burning magma.
, walking out of the broken space was the demon blacksmith.
His steel needle-like beard was slightly red, like red-hot iron needles. It seemed that he was found by Su Xiao in the middle of forging.
"Boy, you'd better give me a suitable one..."
Before he could say the word 'reason', the demon blacksmith stopped and looked at the overlord spirit floating in mid-air. The demon blacksmith, who had always been cold and filled with anger, opened his eyes a little wider at this moment, and looked at the overlord spirit floating in the air.
The lips trembled slightly. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
The demon blacksmith came to the front of the huge overlord spirit and pressed it lightly with his big rough hands:
"Old friend, we haven't seen each other for an era, but when we meet again, we see your spirit."
The demon blacksmith sighed and finally shook his head. There were not many things that could touch him. Even if he was touched, his heart, which had been smoothed by time, would soon calm down.
"You can take your old friend with you."
Su Xiao spoke. After hearing this, the Demon Blacksmith glanced sideways at Su Xiao and nodded, meaning that I helped you forge so many times in vain, but the Demon Blacksmith sighed again:
"My old friend has been addicted to war all his life. This is its inevitable ending. Moreover, you, boy, are worthy of this spirit. Tell me what needs to be created."
"..."
Su Xiao took out the [Demon Sealing] scabbard from her waist. This scabbard was made by the Demon Blacksmith. Now she is using this Overlord Essence to further forge and improve it. Looking at the entire star world, no one is more confident than the Demon Blacksmith.
"Is it a demon seal? I did reserve potential for it at the beginning."
The demon blacksmith took the [Demon Sealing] scabbard, and with a wave of his hand, he took away the huge overlord's essence. It walked towards the shattered space. After a few seconds, the dark cracks in that space healed.
After the giant blood tooth vomited out [Severed Fingers of Misery], Su Xiao asked him to find Leshma. Later, he had to find a way to make Leshma the child of the world. He had to make sure that Leshma would not die from the soul clock before getting the "Heart of the Stars".
The Tower or the High Hand of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
After getting on the Lord Train, Su Xiao returned to the Royal City at around two o'clock in the afternoon. He went straight to the palace, got off the train not far from the palace, and walked into the palace.
On the elevator, the guard captain who led the way looked lazy, as if he had just come to work without waking up.
On the fifth floor of the King's Palace, in front of the bedroom door.
Dong dong dong~
The captain of the personal guard knocked on the bedroom door, and heard the sound of His Majesty the King Roald St. Adez coughing one after another. The sleepiness in the captain's eyes receded, and his eyes were worried and helpless.
"Who is coming?"
"Mr. Bai Ye."
"Oh, Bai Ye, just let him come in by himself."
Hearing this, the guard captain wanted to say something, but because he never questioned His Majesty the King's habit, he opened the door and let Su Xiao in.
Walking into the bedroom, Su Xiao smelled the strong smell of herbs and sat down on the wooden chair next to the bed. He saw that the old king's already thin body had reached the point where he was as skinny as a stick and was about to die.
"You're dying."
Su Xiao spoke. As soon as he said this, the old king was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
"Yeah, I want to...ahem! Die."
The old king spoke weakly and with a smile.
Su Xiao took out a bottle of [Eternal Potion].
"Eternal Potion: After use, the upper limit of life span is +30%, and the life span corresponding to the upper limit is replenished."
"You don't have to die."
Su Xiao's hand holding the potion tapped the crystal potion bottle with her fingers.
Seeing the [Eternal Potion], the old king's eyes showed some hope, then he smiled weakly and shook his head:
"I will die not only because my body and soul are exhausted, but also because the bell tower, the cult, and the dark beast have reached the limit of their patience with me. If I die, we may be able to win. If I survive, we
The odds of winning…are too low.”
The old king took a deep breath and continued:
"It's my luck that you can come here, no, it's a fluke, so you should put that thing away quickly. I'm afraid, I can't help but live an ignoble life. No one wants to die, and I don't want to either."
When the old king said this, he laughed so much that he coughed repeatedly.
"By the way, Bai Ye, why are you here this time?"
"The Ministry of Special Affairs of the Empire is in a financial deficit."
"Um?"
The old king was a little confused, frowned and thought for a few seconds, and nodded clearly: "Now is not the time to pursue these matters. I will approve some activity funds for you. How much do you want?"
"80 million Kugo."
"You guy, why don't you go and grab it?"
"Can I rob it?"
"Of course not!"
Su Xiao almost made the old king sit up in anger. The old king thought for a moment, took the approval note from the maid, and wrote down the funding amount of 12 million Kugo.
"That's all, not even one more."
(Lanke: Imperial currency, 1 Kugo is equal to 10 Lange, and Lange has greater liquidity in the market.)
"..."
Su Xiao put away the approval note, originally thinking that 8 million Kugo would be enough, and 12 million was an unexpected gain. She said goodbye to the old king. As soon as he left the palace, he felt a vague sense of prying eyes.
The train left the palace and when it arrived near King Street, Su Xiao got off the train and came to a restaurant. After ordering, he waited thoughtfully. As for what he was thinking about, as a master of swordsmanship, how could he be dragged into this?
In the illusion, and this illusion is trying to affect him.
Open the skill list, select Master of Swordsmanship, and view the list of branches of Master of Swordsmanship:
"Immune to mental system and psychic control (this characteristic has the highest priority)."
At this stage, Su Xiao has roughly understood the priority of various abilities. For example, "having the highest priority" is not the pinnacle. The real pinnacle is "absolute characteristics". If he encounters an enemy with "absolute illusion", the knife will
The spell's immunity in this regard will be suppressed and invalidated.
There is no problem with the immunity characteristics. If this is the case, then the problem lies in the enemy's ability and related judgments.
In fact, sword masters have always been exempted from "spiritual system, mind control", rather than exempted from all abilities of these two systems.
However, before the extremely powerful level, or even at the extremely powerful level, his sword master skill level was always higher than the current level, which resulted in one of the branch effects of the sword master, which changed the "spiritual system".
All psychic abilities are exempted.
In fact, the sword master has always been targeting the control characteristics of the two. A simpler and easier to understand understanding is that the control effect of the spiritual system and the psychic system is like a violent acupuncture. The defense of the sword master in this aspect,
It is short-lived but strong, but if it encounters a sustained and long-lasting mental or psychic ability, although it can be blocked, it cannot be completely blocked.
A shield can block a sword, but it cannot block an incoming flood. This is probably how it feels.
The more important point is that the current environment is not born from Su Xiao's heart. This so-called illusion is actually the world that has infected this area, turning it into an illusion. After Su Xiao enters, he still maintains his inner state.
Being awake means that the sword master's resistance to psychic abilities is still continuing.
But this also sounded the alarm for Su Xiao. In the final analysis, the master of swordsmanship is the core combat ability. Its immunity and blocking of "spiritual system and psychic system" are branch bonuses. If we talk about the capacity of the bucket of water of master of swordsmanship,
It is 100, which is allocated to the "mental and psychic control immunity" characteristic, which is about 5. It is incredible that it can last until now.
Suddenly, Su Xiao had an inspiration, which is why she insists on using the derivative of the sword master to exempt from "mental system and psychic control". She can completely master an "absolute characteristic" passively. You must know that in the existence of the abyss,
There are not a few people with spiritual systems.
The characteristic of this system is that the impact may be slight, but once it is invaded by their influence, the final outcome will most likely be death.
"Immortal Will (Passive, Lv. EX): After mastering it, obtain "Absolute Will"."
I didn't master this ability at first because it was somewhat incompatible with the sword master's willpower characteristic, but I could consider using it in exchange for "absolute will" with other characteristics.
"Absolute will" is not one kind. This comes from the "absolute will" of the ancestor of Ducain. The whole name is "absolute will not give up". Even if you retreat temporarily, even if you escape temporarily, you always maintain it and never give up on a goal.
.
This is obviously incompatible with the willpower characteristics of the sword master. The will of the sword master is to move forward without hesitation. A sword master who retreats and escapes has no chance of achieving today's "Tianfeng Shadow Slash".
The "absolute will" that Su Xiao needs is called "absolute unshakeable will". The compatibility with the master of swordsmanship is at least 70%. In the ability system of "absolute characteristics", this compatibility has already been achieved
Very high.
The reason why Su Xiao's "Absolute Perception" is 100% compatible with him is because this is the ability that he has gradually improved.
This "absolutely unshakable will" ability, after replacing the sword skill's "mental and psychic control immunity" characteristic, the sword master's share of the original bonus in this aspect will be upgraded to the sword master's combat characteristics.
Above, this is undoubtedly an enhancement of sword skills.
What Su Xiao is encountering now is obviously a spiritual system or psychic system at the strongest level. In fact, compared to his doubts about his ability to be exempted from the psychic system, Sharona, the psychic system who maintains this illusion, has a particularly solemn expression. If
It is said that using illusions to corrode the normal and powerful is a slow but interesting process. Now, using illusions to corrode this law destroyer is simply frightening.
The blood-colored aura emanating from the opponent's body has burned several holes in the illusion. How can she still have the energy to erode the blood monster, maintain the illusion, trap the monster with this illusion, and then escape immediately? The best thing at this moment is
should be done.
In the fantasy realm, Su Xiao looked at the tableware in his hands, and it actually felt a bit real. It seemed that the pinnacle of the illusion system was to turn illusion into reality. That type of illusion system must be extremely difficult to deal with.
The illusion he was in now actually stimulated its blood, making the "innate ability·blood beast" that had been dormant finally have a tendency to transform. From defeating Fei to absorbing the "blood essence", this feeling has always been there.
, but not as strong as now.
Su Xiao stood up and walked towards the bar. The next second, the noisy restaurant suddenly became audible, and all the diners looked at him expressionlessly.
Su Xiao held the handle of the knife with one hand, and drew the knife with the temporary scabbard inserted into the belt at her waist.
‘Extreme Blade, Absolute Illusion.’
The long knife continued to be unsheathed. Before the long knife was completely unsheathed, the surrounding illusion shattered like glass bursting. The place returned to a normal restaurant, and diners continued to chat or enjoy delicious food.
A few drops of blood spread outside the restaurant, left by the illusionist.
Zheng~
The long knife finally came out of its sheath, and the tip of the knife pointed at the blood droplets on the ground. The blood droplets flew up, touched the tip of the knife, and along the tip of the knife, gradually formed small blood-colored veins on the long knife.
‘Blood Blade·Gouge out the heart.’
At the same time, the illusionist Sharona, who kept moving in the illusion and left the royal city in a short period of time, finally breathed a sigh of relief. But suddenly, she felt the tip of her nose was wet and hot. When she raised her hand and touched it, her hand was stained with blood.
"Damn it, the Mechanicus..."
Poof!
Bloody blades burst out from various parts of the illusionist Sharona's body. She fell to her knees and spat out a large amount of blood from her mouth.
She really didn't understand why the Spell Exterminator had any grudge against the illusion system. He actually developed a sword technique specifically for the illusion system. Moreover, those moves looked like they had been deeply developed and were even based on the opponent's best sword techniques.
moves.
With a bang, the most powerful illusionist named Sharona hit her forehead heavily on the ground and died like this. She never thought that as the most powerful, she would die so lightly. In fact, she originally
This is indeed not the case, but as the strongest person on the surface of this world who has been famous for a long time, she is really seeking death by provoking those unknown but most powerful monsters.
Su Xiao got on the train and left the royal city. He did not return to the headquarters of the "Empire Special Affairs Department" for the time being. The reason was that his "Innate Ability: Blood Beast" was about to complete its qualitative upgrade.
At the same time, the twelve soul mentors of the Soul Clock Tower are using all their means to track down Su Xiao. The reason is that the pit they dug is a dark evil that can lead to instant death. The pit Su Xiao dug for them is,
He placed a contract on the ninth floor of the [Soul Treasure Box].
The contract itself is never dangerous. As for the content of the contract, it is very simple. Opening the ninth level of the [Soul Treasure Box] is equivalent to signing the contract, which is equivalent to being willing to temporarily hold the "Book of Original Sin"
