Chapter 119: Chapter 115 Infiltration Plan
In the basement, the candle flames flickered slightly.
The people kneeling on the ground silently bowed their heads, and no one dared to look directly at the great black radiance of the cross within the sacred object.
Its great power was beyond doubt; any who dared to gaze upon it would feel the terrifying dichotomy of black and white heralding the end of all things.
It was as if destiny were already written, and all things were fated to their ultimate demise.
“Oh great Lord of the Lost, I offer the ‘Silver Gray Method’ and the ‘Spirit Snake’ to you! Please accept them!”
Irene’s face was full of joy and excitement, for it was the first time the Fischer family had offered two treasure-class mysterious rare artifacts at once!
She felt increasingly that she was of use to the great Lord of the Lost! He had saved us, and we would fulfill the original promise!
Karl’s incorporeal consciousness silently absorbed the spiritual power contained within the two mysterious rare artifacts.
He was filled with hunger.
It was the same for every offering.
The ‘Silver Gray Method’ and the ‘Spirit Snake’ contained decidedly different flavors.
The former tasted like the clear spring water in winter, refreshing and penetrating to the heart, while the latter resembled some kind of serpent-like animal, like a strangely chewy piece of exotic meat.
Even more spiritual power made the third seal even looser, almost to the point of breaking through, but Karl was never able to finally unveil it.
It was like having excavated all the sand under a stone, but the central part exposed was bound tightly to the earth itself, a solid stone that couldn’t be dug up by any shovel.
Even using a treasure-class mysterious rare artifact as the “shovel” to dig, he was always just a bit short of the necessary power.
Just a little bit more, with one more forbidden-class mysterious rare artifact, he was convinced he would be able to break through the third seal.
Using a forbidden-class mysterious rare artifact always required a price to be paid.
The cost for using forbidden artifacts with a four-digit number could easily be borne by mortals.
However, the price for using those with a three-digit number or less was enormously high, inducing fear from the depths of one’s heart.
But unlike treasure-class mysterious rare artifacts, the forbidden-class ones were exceedingly rare, largely controlled by powerful forces and individuals.
It looks like there was no choice but to continue waiting.
Karl knew that for the current Fischer family, acquiring a forbidden-class mysterious rare artifact was doubtlessly a difficult task.
Such forbidden artifacts even had strategic value and could not be bought with money, as they were not for sale.
He then started to examine the rune power inside the two newly obtained mysterious rare artifacts.
The effect of the ‘Spirit Snake’ was to consume spiritual power to summon void serpents that could attack and seek enemies, but it was utterly useless to the members of the Fischer family.
Their path was one of cultivating spiritual power, and their mental power was nothing special.
Vanessa, as the only spellcaster in the family, possessed substantial mental power, but she lacked the red, complex brand and therefore couldn’t obtain the grant of rune authority.
The effect of the ‘Silver Gray Method’ was quite interesting and even made him see things in a new light.
Its rune appearance was also a silver-gray ring emitting red light; when the user employed the ‘Silver Gray Method,’ they could passively see weak spots on their enemies.
The user could attack these weak points elegantly and precisely, as if performing a dangerous surgery.
Without a doubt, the effect of the ‘Silver Gray Method’ was extremely suitable for Chris, who was an assassin.
After deep consideration, Karl decided to dismantle the ‘Iron Wall’ rune and planned to reassemble it in the future. Then he granted the rune power authority of the ‘Silver Gray Method’ to Chris.
He proceeded to infuse the essence of the rune from the ‘Iron Wall’ into the ‘Silver Gray Method.’
But the ‘Silver Gray Method,’ being of the treasure class, did not ascend in level just from that. It was only after dismantling the essence of the ‘Spirit Snake’ rune and also infusing it into the ‘Silver Gray Method’ that he saw a change.
Karl had calculated that if he infused the essence of their runes into the ‘Healing’ rune, it would just be slightly short of evolving, so he chose not to do so.
The ‘Silver Gray Method’ evolved from an ordinary rune into a spirit rune.
‘Blade of Silver Radiance.’
The user could endow any weapon with the effect of ‘Blade of Silver Radiance,’ allowing the weapon to ignore most defense effects, and the user could also passively see weak spots on people and objects.
Chris frowned slightly, feeling the change deep within his soul with surprise.
The ‘Iron Wall’ that he had practiced many times but never used in actual combat had inexplicably vanished!
What followed was a completely different kind of rune power.
Chris’s eyes gleamed with silver light, and the dagger he subconsciously took out gleamed likewise,
Everyone present could feel that very special and extraordinary mysterious power.
Byrne took a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction.
Irene, even more excited than her brother, couldn’t help but shout, “I praise you from the bottom of my heart, great Lord of the Lost, thank you for your generous gift to Chris!”
Vanessa and the others were also happy for Chris, but she was a bit worried, feeling that the gap between herself and Chris was growing wider.
‘Blade of Silver Radiance,’ evolved from a treasure-class rune, possessed power even greater than ‘Surpass’ and ‘Iron Wall.’
