Chapter 305: Enhancement
Chapter 305: Enhancement
"Haha..."
Karl burst into laughter, transforming into a trail of fire that weaved through the crowd, leaving a trail of dead divine servants in his wake.
With a hundred points in constitution and seventy points in mental energy, his fiery avatar possessed unimaginable lethality.
Low-order favored ones died on contact,
Mid-order favored ones were injured on touch.
Even when several favored ones joined forces, they would still be instantly overwhelmed unless they had some powerful means.
"Do you really think you can hide your actions from me?"
"Since you're the bait, how could I not be prepared for them? This time, I've caught a big fish!"
The seal he planted on the sand bandits was not just a sorcerer's trick; he had also used a divine realm fragment to imprint it.
Even if it was a technique taught by a deity, they couldn't stop him from activating the seal.
Moreover, with the Blood Wolf as an inside informant, he was well aware of the favored ones' actions and took the opportunity to wipe them out.
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a roar, a golden chariot burst through layers of flames, charging straight at Karl.
A dwarf clad in battle armor stood atop the chariot, holding a heavy hammer and glaring fiercely:
"Die, you demon!"
Divine Art - Savage Roar!
Divine Art - Heavy Strike!
Divine Art - Iron Heart!
...
The divine light flashed continuously, layer upon layer of buffs stacked on his body, and the heavy hammer in his hand swelled rapidly.
The hammer, now resembling a small mountain, slammed down on Karl.
High-order favored one!
And not just any high-order favored one.
Karl's eyes flickered, his gaze sweeping across the entire arena, his face turning grim. His right arm began to change silently.
If he couldn't quickly deal with this charging favored one, the others might have a chance to gather.
With the means of the favored ones, if they united, even if most of them were injured, they wouldn't fear him.
Since it had come to this...
"Die!"
A pale, deathly, and hopeless aura emanated from Karl's right hand, instantly enveloping the entire area.
It was as if the Death God had emerged from the underworld, holding a scythe and casting a terrifying aura that instilled fear in everyone.
This fear was an innate instinct of all living creatures.
Even the favored ones of deities struggled to avoid it.
Triplet Art - Pale Wing Right Hand!
The divine right hand, evolved from the Triplet Art, lacked true divine power but surpassed the third-rank limit. After all, Karl had genuinely obtained the deity's arm and spent energy to analyze and assimilate it.
Hammer and palm collided.
"Boom!"
The mountain-like hammer let out a mournful cry, instantly shrinking and shattering. The dwarf on the golden chariot also vanished.
His mouth uttered an unwilling roar, and his body turned to ashes and scattered with the wind.
High-order favored one, die!
Essence +47
The aftereffect of activating the divine right hand left Karl's face pale, but he didn't stop his actions; instead, he continued the slaughter.
Essence +13
Essence +9
Essence +18
...
In truth, with the strength of so many favored ones present, if they had joined forces, they might have still had a chance against Karl.
However, the scene of the high-order favored one of the God of Craftsmen being killed in one blow was too shocking, causing them to lose their fighting spirit. The high-order favored one of the God of Deception flashed and fled, abandoning the others.
Annihilation Flame!
Fear Aura!
Heart Hands!
...
Karl unleashed all his tricks, swiftly slaughtering his opponents. With the death of the second high-order favored one, all resistance crumbled.
Far away.
The high-order favored one of the God of Deception, about to escape, felt a flash before his eyes and found himself back in the arena.
"How?"
His expression froze, but he quickly regained his senses:
"Spatial Barrier!"
"Indeed."
In the void, Karl raised his hand, summoning twelve pillars that swiftly sealed off the nearby space.
Fourth Rank Artifact—Twelve Star Palace!
With a resounding boom, the artifact unleashed a radiant aura, akin to a blooming firework, instantly slaying the High-Order Favored of the God of Deception.
...
"Well done," Karl acknowledged, standing before the Blood Wolf.
"You did an excellent job," he nodded in approval.
"It's your superior skills that matter. A mere Demon Lord's Vassal is no match for you," the Blood Wolf replied with humility, his eyes reflecting fear as he bowed.
Karl burst into laughter, revealing his wild, bloodthirsty, and ruthless nature, "Punishment for the guilty, rewards for the deserving. I keep my word. You've hunted down numerous Divine Servants, and your achievements are undeniable."
Without the Blood Wolf's intelligence and surprise attack on one of the High-Order Favored, this mission wouldn't have been so smooth.
"Come!"
With a stretch of his large hand, Karl summoned the Blood Wolf, pressing his palm against the wolf's head.
"I'll help you reach the Second Rank!"
The Blood Wolf's eyes lit up, his face flushed with fervor as his battle energy surged within, propelling him towards the gateway.
Soon...
"Thank you, Elder Battler!"
Having achieved the Second Rank, the Blood Wolf flexed his body, feeling the abundant battle energy coursing through him, his spirit exhilarated, causing his cheeks to flush.
"This is what you deserve," Karl waved his hand. "This mission was fruitful. Besides helping you reach the Second Rank, you can make another request."
"For example, obtaining materials imbued with Essence or Second Rank Artifacts..."
"Elder Battler," the Blood Wolf raised his head, tentatively speaking up. "I wish to learn a cultivation method that can propel me to the Third Rank Apex."
Karl burst into laughter, "I knew you'd choose that!"
"Here you go!"
With a casual flick of his finger, a streak of light shot into the Blood Wolf's mind, revealing a heritage that directly led to the Third Rank Apex.
"Killing so many Divine Servants will undoubtedly alert Demigods and Godson. You should temporarily leave this place," Karl said, turning to the Kent siblings beside him.
"Continue investigating the clues about the Divine Servants during this time. I'll return to reap more after a while," he said, his figure flashing and disappearing from the spot.
Name: Karl
Constitution: 100
Mental Energy: 70
Essence: 212
Cultivation: Third Circle Warlock, Forbidden Knight
Bloodline: Abyssal Squid (100%), Lich (30%), Pale Wing (incomplete)...
Inside the carriage, Karl smiled as he examined his data panel.
"After three months of hard work, my Mental Energy has reached seventy, and I have over two hundred Essence points. If I were to..." he trailed off with a bitter smile.
"It would take two to three hundred years to achieve this."
Without hesitation, Karl added the Essence to his Mental Energy, knowing that adding it to his Constitution would only yield four points.
Four points in Constitution were better than nothing.
Mental Energy: 80
The surge in Mental Energy caused Karl to stifle a dull hum, his head throbbing. After a moment, he regained his composure.
"With eighty points of Mental Energy, I'm already at the late Third Rank. With Sorcery alone, I can easily slay ordinary High-Order Favored," Karl mused.
"If I combine Sorcery with Martial Skills..."
"Although I've never encountered a true Demigod or Godson, with my current strength, I shouldn't be afraid anymore, right?"
As for the crippled half-god Ferdinand, Karl could now effortlessly defeat him with just one hand.
"Divine Messenger," a voice called from outside.
"The Third Elder's place is here."
"Mhm."
Karl lifted the carriage curtain and looked downward.
Below was the former Fragrant Capital, the location of the Third Elder.
