Chapter 278: A Bountiful Harvest
Chapter 278: A Bountiful Harvest
"Haha..."
"He's dead!"
"He finally met his end at my hands!"
"Mother, my lord, did you see that? I have avenged you both!"
Amidst the rubble and ruins, the massive body of Duke Ferdinand lay lifeless, while Lady Mewaya laughed hysterically.
Aria knelt beside her, tears streaming down her face.
Although they had succeeded in killing Duke Ferdinand, Lady Mewaya was also severely injured, and her condition was worsening by the moment.
Especially now, as her emotions ran high, the wounds on her body continued to bleed, causing her life force to rapidly decline.
Perhaps, she wouldn't last much longer.
"Karl."
"I'm here."
Hearing his name, Karl looked up from his observation:
"Your Highness, how may I be of service?"
"Thanks to your timely assistance, we have fulfilled our agreement." Lady Mewaya removed a leather pouch from Duke Ferdinand's waist and threw a few items from her body towards Karl:
"As promised, these are yours."
Karl's gaze fell upon the shuttle that had landed on the ground.
"The Loom of the Fates is a sixth-rank divine artifact, so this cannot be the real one." Lady Mewaya's expression remained unchanged:
"Moreover, the power within it has been completely depleted. If you wish to have it... you can take it directly."
"However, the Shadow God Leather and Nightfall belong to Aria."
This was agreed upon before they took action.
The body belonged to Lady Mewaya, while the other items were to be shared between Karl and Aria.
The leather pouch was also a divine artifact, and it undoubtedly contained numerous items, so it was considered as an additional divine artifact, making it equivalent to possessing two divine artifacts.
Additionally, there were some pre-agreed bonuses.
"Very well." Karl nodded, reaching out to pick up the Loom of Destiny from the ground, and finally glanced at the two women.
With a flash of electricity, his figure disappeared.
"Let's go!"
As Karl's figure moved away, Lady Mewaya's voice turned solemn:
"Take the body and leave this place. I won't last much longer, and if he returns, you won't be a match for him."
"..." Aria replied.
While she trusted Karl's character, in a matter of life and death, one could never be too careful.
Moreover, the two women possessed four divine artifacts between them, with one severely injured and the other on the brink of death. Who could guarantee that Karl wouldn't be tempted by greed?
"Hundreds of years ago, during the Celestial Convergence, beings from other worlds passed through the void channels and arrived in our realm."
"Your father was one of those outsiders..."
Lady Mewaya leaned against Aria's back, her eyes distant and her voice soft as she murmured:
"He was handsome and powerful, attracting many women with demigod bloodlines, and I was one of them."
"..."
"The Triple Disciple Technique was passed down to a being in another world called a 'Great Sorcerer'. I learned the upper section from your father and refined his Sapphire Fox Bloodline, allowing me to reach the Third Circle despite the suppression of the world's rules."
"Duke Ferdinand always wanted to obtain this method. Initially, he used me to get close to him, but when our plan was exposed, he captured your father and forced him to reveal the method..."
"Your father and my mother both died at Duke Ferdinand's hands. If he knew I had obtained the method, I wouldn't have survived either."
Her voice grew weaker as she spoke, and her body grew colder.
"Mother!" Aria's eyes welled up with tears:
"Don't say anymore. Let's find a place to heal first."
"It's useless." Lady Mewaya shook her head gently, unafraid of death:
"I should go and find your father, and my mother too. Remember the place I told you about."
"From there, you can go to the world your father came from. Take our ashes there when the time comes."
"He always wanted to return and take a look."
"Remember, you must refine the bloodlines within me and Duke Ferdinand, and then use the secret technique recorded in the Triple Disciple Technique to ignite the Slumbering God's Flame. This was something Duke Ferdinand always wanted to do but couldn't."
"With the divine flame, demigods will have a chance to become deities..."
"Mother!" Aria suddenly turned her head, her voice rising:
"Mother!"
"Swish!"
Karl's figure appeared in the direction where the two women had left, gazing at the empty ground and shaking his head.
"A lack of trust, I see..."
"It's understandable."
After all, they were four divine artifacts, along with various top-tier secret magical legacies. Anyone would be tempted.
Karl was no exception.
However, he had no intention of taking them by force. Instead, he wanted to ask Aria if she was willing to trade.
He also had many valuable items in his possession.
Unfortunately, Lady Mewaya was already on guard against him. The lingering auras in the area were mixed and chaotic, making it impossible to locate anyone.
"Forget it!"
"I've gained quite a bit this time, and also..."
"There's an unexpected surprise!"
Tossing the leather bag in his hand, Karl's eyes lit up with joy, and a slight smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
...
Divine Realm Fragment.
Karl took inventory of his gains.
"Divine Void Bag, Thread of Destiny without divine power, and there are many valuable items inside the Void Bag."
The Void Bag was a divine artifact crafted by the God of Artisans, with an internal space large enough to contain dozens of mountains.
The perfect version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar.
It is said that the God of Artisans' own Void Bag could hold an entire world.
With such an item, Duke Ferdinand would definitely carry important things with him, which was why Karl considered this a significant harvest.
Five divine techniques!
Unfortunately, the divine techniques in this world required the bloodline of a deity to cultivate, rendering them useless to Karl.
Thirteen holy skills.
These were somewhat useful. Although Karl had already mastered top-tier holy skills like the Holy Demonic Transformation and the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm, the newly acquired skills were still decent, but not worth the effort to cultivate.
They could serve as a reference for his own martial arts journey, enhancing his understanding of the martial path.
"Food?"
Enough food to feed hundreds of thousands of people for a year, piled up like a sharp mountain in the Void Bag, drawing immediate attention.
No!
It was a mountain of food.
"Food was scarce in this world before, and these items are quite valuable, but what use are they to me?"
Shaking his head, Karl continued searching for something more useful.
Great Divine Blessing: 73 pieces.
Essence Conversion: 7.3.
Various books, weapons, armors, artworks, gems, pearls, and odd artifacts...
Duke Ferdinand had ruled his domain for centuries and had acquired numerous treasures during the War of the Gods.
Besides the gold and silver jewelry for mortals, there were also second-tier and even third-tier odd artifacts, along with various magic plants.
"Hmm?"
A spear-like object caught Karl's attention.
Ferdinand had hidden this item in an inconspicuous corner of the Void Bag, but he had specifically constructed an altar-like structure to store it, as if both honoring and fearing it.
"Is this..."
"The tip of a spear?"
It was indeed the tip of a spear, but it wasn't complete; it seemed to be a part of a larger spearhead.
The spearhead was covered in rust, and there was a faint trace of dark, sunken blood on it.
"Hmm?"
Holding the spearhead, Karl's eyes widened as if sensing something incredible. Instinctively, he reached out and gently touched the trace of blood.
In an instant, a terrifying, vast, and powerful energy surged from his fingertips, causing the Divine Realm Fragment to tremble as if in an earthquake.
Essence!
A massive amount of essence rushed towards him.
Essence +377!
Karl's eyes widened, and his breath hitched. Even the absolute rationality of the Divine Realm Fragment couldn't prevent him from being momentarily stunned.
Just a faint trace of blood, barely even a bloodstain, contained such a vast amount of essence.
Comparable to several powerful demigods.
"Whose blood is this?"
Karl had a guess, but he couldn't quite believe it.
"Godslayer Spear?"
"The blood of the Moon Goddess?"
