Chapter 283: Blasphemy Elixir
Chapter 283: Blasphemy Elixir
Gather the Divine Flame!
Collect the Divine Gifts!
Slay the Demon Lord's Vassals!
Submit the Dragon Spawn Descendant's Corpses!
Gather intelligence on foreign gods...
Carl glanced at the tasks listed at the front, shook his head slightly, and flipped through the pages to find those suitable for a Great Knight.
"The Holy Sanctuary is also collecting Divine Flames and Divine Gifts. I wonder if I'll have a chance to obtain a few of them?"
"A Legendary Elixir?"
Carl looked up, his expression curious.
"Is it really that simple to earn a Legendary Elixir by just slaying a lesser Dragon Spawn Servant and earning merit points?"
"Yes," the dwarf nodded. "Don't underestimate it. These servants often gather in groups, and it's easy to alert the Dragon Spawn Vassals. It's best to follow a Legendary Knight. I've seen many who thought it was easy but never returned."
"I see..." Carl nodded. "It's not easy to deal with them in groups. But how can we confirm the completion of the task?"
"Do we need to bring back the corpses?"
The Dragon Spawn Servants were massive, and their scent could easily attract other Dragon Spawn.
Compared to slaying them, the process of bringing back the corpses was even more dangerous.
"No need for that," the dwarf shook his head. "Each Dragon Spawn has distinctive items on them. For example, some have a dragon horn on their head, and some have an 'Inner Core' within their bodies. Just retrieve these items and bring them to me, and the task will be considered complete..."
His gaze fell on the dragon horn on the table, and his voice gradually weakened, followed by a strange smile.
"It seems your journey here wasn't peaceful. But it doesn't matter; as long as you obtain the items, the task is complete."
He took out a wooden token from under the table and tossed it to Carl. "Go inside and claim your elixir."
"Thank you," Carl said, accepting the token with a respectful bow.
"Young man, let me give you some advice," the dwarf said, closing the book and sinking back into his armchair. "If you don't have devout faith, don't seek shortcuts, or you'll only regret it later."
...
"You got a Legendary Elixir?"
Richell looked at Carl in astonishment.
"So fast?"
In the time it took to have a meal, Carl had obtained something she had been eagerly anticipating. How could she not be surprised?
Even Hum, who had been expressionless, showed a change in his demeanor.
"Yes," Carl confirmed, taking out a bottle of elixir and uncorking it to take a sniff. A barely noticeable glint flashed in his eyes.
"Besides the elixir, I also received permission to enter the Meditation Chamber for seclusion. I can cultivate there for half a month with all the necessary supplies."
"That's wonderful!" Richelle exclaimed. "You've only just joined the Holy Sanctuary, and you've already obtained a Legendary Elixir. Who knows, you might become a Legendary Knight in the future."
"We'll be relying on you from now on!"
Hum hesitated slightly, then took out a jade pendant from his body. "This is an heirloom passed down from my ancestors. It helps one focus their mind and can be useful for breaking through boundaries."
"I'm giving it to you!"
He was a man of few words, but his actions were decisive.
Carl was taken aback.
"I can't accept this."
"It's fine," Hum shook his head. "After you advance to the Legendary rank, I want to join you on missions. I'll also get a Legendary Elixir."
Hum was also a Great Knight, but he hadn't reached the pinnacle of his rank yet.)
He had seen the tasks the Holy Sanctuary offered and attempted them twice, only to narrowly escape death on both occasions.
With the help of a Legendary Knight, completing the tasks would be much easier and safer.
Richelle opened her mouth to speak.
She also wanted to build such connections, but she had nothing valuable to offer, so she could only look on enviously at Carl.
"Haha..."
Carl burst into laughter, exuding a carefree demeanor. "Sure thing!"
"Once I advance to the Legendary rank, I'll definitely go on missions. You two can come with me."
"Perhaps one day, all three of us will become Legends, even Holy Knights, and we might just change the current situation in the Holy Sanctuary."
"Look at the environment here, it's filthy and corrupt. They accept anyone, it's high time for a change!"
Uh...
The two of them stiffened slightly at his words.
If they hadn't accepted anyone, they wouldn't be here either.
Karl didn't try to hide his voice, immediately drawing the attention of many, some with disdain and others with cold indifference.
He remained unfazed by their reactions.
To obtain the treasures accumulated by the Holy Sanctuary over the years, one would undoubtedly have to become part of its upper echelon in the future. Expressing his 'ambition' at this moment was a way of laying the groundwork for the future, so it wouldn't seem so abrupt later on.
The original version is available on Book Bar.
"I'm going into seclusion."
Nodding at the two of them, Karl picked up the elixir and headed towards the meditation chamber.
Closing the stone door behind him, Karl's expression turned solemn.
"A legendary elixir?"
"It should be a blasphemy elixir!"
Ever since the War of the Gods and the fall of the Moon Goddess, the Holy Sanctuary had been secretly researching and creating Blasphemy Knights.
The first generation of Blasphemy Knights, known as 'Greatswords', were all female, and the stronger they were, the more prone they were to mutation.
The second generation of Blasphemy Knights were complete monsters.
Now it seemed that the Holy Sanctuary had found a way to create the third generation of Blasphemy Knights, which was the elixir in Karl's hand.
"Blasphemy Knights are created from the corpses of the Pale Wing Demon Lord. This elixir must have been infused with the blood of the Demon Lord."
"The blood of the Demon Lord must contain primordial power. With a strong will, one can indeed advance to the legendary tier through the elixir. But if the will is not strong enough, nine out of ten times, they will become Blasphemy Knights without reason. The Holy Sanctuary can then explain it as a failed breakthrough or a descent into madness, as advancing to the legendary tier is inherently dangerous, and death is not uncommon."
Holding the elixir in his hand, Karl pondered:
"No wonder that dwarf mentioned the need for devout faith. Those without faith typically have weaker willpower."
"Hmph..."
"He's well-intentioned!"
Saying this, Karl turned and stepped into the Divine Realm Fragment.
The Divine Realm Fragment had transformed significantly since he first obtained it; it was now the size of a city.
In addition to the two Wizard Towers, various experimental bases for wizardry research were also in place, rivaling a research city.
This was where demonic artifacts and inherited arcane tools were crafted, and where the necessary runes and incantations for analysis were located...
"Thud!"
Karl tossed the blasphemy elixir into a pool filled with solution, and various magical runes flashed as they analyzed the contents.
"As expected!"
"After consuming the elixir, the body undergoes changes from the inside out until it transforms into a Blasphemy Knight."
"Even with a strong will, these changes will occur gradually, and the final result will not change, only delayed."
"Hmm..."
Karl rested his chin in his hand:
"There is an advantage, though. After taking the blasphemy elixir, the body transforms towards the physique of the Pale Wing Demon Lord, resulting in a rapid increase in strength. With a strong will, one might even become a Holy Knight in a short time."
"However, even if one becomes a Holy Knight, they will completely lose their sanity and become a third-generation Blasphemy Knight."
The previous two generations of Blasphemy Knights had a maximum strength of late first rank, while the third generation could break through to the second rank.
"An interesting method of genetic inscription."
Karl enlarged the contents of the elixir in his hand, his eyes flashing:
"The Holy Sanctuary must be using this method to control the Blasphemy Knights, making them their loyal servants."
"I've never seen this kind of magic before..."
"No wonder the Holy Sanctuary accepts anyone. They never intended to recruit their own, but rather loyal henchmen!"
