“Propagating doomsday, a typical trait of cults!”
Su Lu shook his head, releasing a hint of spirit oppression and exerted it towards the “Nameless Necromancer Book”, “Behave yourself!”
Dealing with such transcendent books required extreme caution.
Especially when it’s the legacy of a necromancer, it wouldn’t surprise Su Lu if there were spirits hidden within.
If a transcendent scripture doesn’t possess numerous curses or traps when emerging from the hands of cultists, evil gods, and secret organizations, then that would be the truly unthinkable.
Moreover, such books of heritage might possess a rudimentary intelligence.
Therefore, Su Lu directly used his spirit oppression against it.
“Legacy! ”
“Necromancy!”
The “Nameless Necromancer Book” flipped open another page.
Depicted was an image of a peculiar necromancer draped in a black robe, with wings that were half feathered and half skeletal coming out from his back. He swayed a sinister-looking sickle, reaping life.
Two large characters in the Gulam language were also located at the top of the picture.
A ghostly wail echoed from the void, and Su Lu felt like he was under a minor mental attack.
Although weak against him, the power filled with negative, frantic, and hopeless emotions was enough to affect an ordinary person. It can mysteriously turn a good mood sour, and make a bad mood inexplicably suicidal.
“Such strange things… they’re not afraid of my spirit oppression. Is it because the skill’s level is too low, or maybe my ‘position’ is not enough?”
Su Lu thought for a moment before plugging the Demon Hunting dagger back in.
Click!
Just like when a key locks a door, the eerie atmosphere disappeared without a trace.
“It seems…this demon hunting dagger is very suitable for sealing the ‘Unnamed Undead Book’… but of course, there are risks of leakage, otherwise, Ranny’s appearance cannot be explained… However, it is much better than it occasionally fails.”
The demon hunting dagger Su Lu acquired is a very common military stab style, with a pitch-black blade, without the slightest reflection. The insignia of a Demon Hunter is engraved on the handle.
Just by playing with it roughly, Su Lu was certain that this dagger must have been crafted by a [Demon Hunting Expert] or [Demon Hunting Master].
Because of its sharpness and restraint towards demonic items, it was much stronger than what Rod possessed.
Basically, there was no comparison, not on the same level at all.
If one were to say that those demon hunting items made by Rod and the Crow’s Mask he created only have a slight magical ability, then this demon hunting dagger, as well as the “Unnamed Undead Book”, would be the real ‘marvels’!
No wonder so many occupational people risk their lives controlled by greed; they want to break into the demonic mansions.
Indeed, a random scoop could give you quite some gains.
After finishing washing up, Su Lu burned his coat and some items into ashes. He changed his clothes and his face then returned to his inn.
He planned to leave this city and resume his journey.
He had already decided on the next destination.
It will be Nia City!
The location of St. George’s University, his second hometown!
Ever since the bloody founding day attack, the casualties there were said to be heavy, so he must go back and check.
After all, he already possesses considerable self-defensive strength now.
And the possibility that the cultists stayed there was not high.
Of course, before that, he could pay a visit to the black market and get some magical materials ready.
Especially wormwood, the main ingredient to make trick cards, the core strength of a [Magician]!
The steam train started; the rumbling sound came wave after wave.
Su Lu sat in his seat, watching the scenery outside the window.
Although he did not stay in Charles City for long, but the western style here left a deep impression on him.
“With Gered’s death, Geli can be a Bounty Hunter freely now, I suppose?”
For some reason, Su Lu thought of that wild girl and couldn’t help but smile.
Just then, his eyebrows raised as he looked towards the notice board outside the window.
In the most conspicuous part of the notice board, there was a series of bounty orders.
At some unknown point, the original first and second ranks had already been removed, replaced with new portraits.
“Wanted: Bellu!”
“Rank: A”
“Any information can be reported to the official organization, and a bounty of one hundred Golden Dragons will be rewarded to those who provide valid clues
“Tsk, tsk have I truly become famous?”
Su Lu felt a bit toothache.
Just then, he was astonished to find that which had always been blank in his attribute column, the title column, had undergone a stark change:
“Title: [Black Knight]”
“When did they add this nickname for me?”
Su Lu gathered his thoughts toward the title column, and suddenly received more information:
[Black Knight: In the battle of the Demon Mansion, your reputation has grown, and you already have a considerable reputation in the Federation! Equipment effect: Deterrence+l!]
“What is it? A prestige system?”
Su Lu was taken aback, “It feels less practical than adding a skill… Is it because
I didn’t have a title before because I wasn’t making enough of a splash?”
He understood that even during the event at Posey Port, it was just small fights involving at most first and second rank occupational people.
But this time, it was completely different!
In the battle at the Demon Mansion, there were several third and fourth rank occupational individuals who died.
In the unspoken present era, these people were big names in the enigmatic side, can influence the situation in Charles City.
With so many ‘big names’ dying by his hand, it was enough to make him a rising star.
Although, it wasn’t a good thing.
Su Lu knew that Bellu’s identity would soon be thoroughly investigated by the Federation.
If he hadn’t changed his face beforehand, he would now consider the matter of escaping the country.
When a country’s machinery is activated, the energy it can mobilize is immense.
Perhaps a legend-level occupational person could resist slightly, but this definitely did not include him.
“The troubles in the future will only increase, I should improve my strength.” Su Lu touched his chin, falling into contemplation.
Currentlv a Rank Three [Odd Technician l. he didn’t want to further Dromote
his professional rank, leading to another drastic decline in experience gain.
Hence, his next choice was [Shadow Warrior]!
And some skills and passives can also be slightly improved.
“The [Odd Technician] mostly improves the Spirit, but the Spirit oppression level is a bit insufficient!”
Thinking of this, Su Lu no longer hesitated, “Raise the Spirit oppression level!” [Consume 200 experience points … Spirit oppression level rises to LV3!]
[Spirit oppression LV3: Each time Spirit oppression is used, a temporary addition of 0.8 Spirit is gained!]
[Consume 400 experience points … Spirit oppression level rises to LV4!]
[Spirit oppression LV4: Each time Spirit oppression is used, a temporary addition of 1.2 Spirit is gained!]
[Spirit oppression level rises to LV4, gains exclusive add-on – Solidification!]
[Solidification – The Spirit oppression is fixed on the Spiritual Body or flesh, and you can actively choose to open or close!]
After a series of upgrades, Su Lu felt the Spirit oppression had become much more flexible and could be manipulated at will with his thoughts.
“At this rate…. going forward, will it become the embryonic form of Dragon
Might?”
