"You have acquired a specialty from Balun: the miser."

"Miser: You can build a 'treasury' with a certain amount of currency or precious metals."

If the wealth in the 'treasure vault' is not withdrawn within a certain period, the wealth stored inside the vault will appreciate at a certain rate (click to view details)."

"Isn't this just earning interest?"

"As expected of Western Devil, his fighting skills are so-so, but he's got a whole repertoire of scams and financial schemes..."

Roger couldn't help but mutter a few complaints to himself.

However, he himself was also shocked by the terrifying power of this "Monster Heavenly Body".

now.

He was silently savoring the pleasure of that bite!

This big dog...

Wow, it really is powerful! "No wonder it requires an extra drop of Sub-Divine Oil..."

"It's just that the CD takes a bit too long."

Roger lingered, looking at the grayed-out specialty on his character panel.

"Sun Devouring (Talent Feat): Tengu can swallow most enemies within its attack range whose level is not higher than its own in one go, and can also briefly devour sunlight, moonlight, mountains, and seas..."

Note: Enemies killed by 'Sun Devourer' are considered to have suffered a death of level 5 or higher in the temporary Sub-Plane.

"Consumes: 1 extra drop of Sub-Divine Oil"

Cooldown: 100 days

It has to be said.

This specialization is practically a monster-slaying godsend.

However, this is also a typical example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

If the level of the corresponding monster is not higher than that of the Tengu, it will most likely be swallowed whole! If it weren't for the dual limitations of consumption and cooldown, Roger really wouldn't want to be human! And apart from that.

Tengu also has another extremely bizarre specialty.

"Stealing the Heavens (Talent Specialty): The Tengu can temporarily steal 10% of all attributes from all targets within a 1-kilometer radius that are hostile to it, and this effect is added to itself without limit, lasting for 1 minute."

"Consumes: 1 extra drop of Sub-Divine Oil"

Cooldown: 100 days

The combination of "Stealing the Heavens and swallowing the sun" alone is enough to make this Dharma image stand out in Roger's pool of trump cards.

Not to mention in the form of Monster Heavenly Body.

Most of the Yellow Beard Daoist's other abilities were also available! Roger carefully reviewed the Martial Arts List.

Based on the contents of the list.

This thing might be better renamed "Staff Skill List".

The Yellow Beard Daoist was indeed a fanatical stick enthusiast.

Roger watched for a moment and began to doubt that the other man was only good at playing with sticks.

fortunately.

He eventually spotted a familiar martial art in the corner.

After reading the description of that martial art.

The corners of the tengu's mouth slanted slightly upwards.

He revealed a rather sinister smile.

On the data panel.

"You've reached a new milestone: Alluring Smile."

"Alluring Smile: This kind of inexplicable smile is clearly not something a human could express."

"Corresponding title: Unrestrained Temperament (Your appeal to specific groups of people, such as 'hermits' and 'madmen,' is increased by 100; they may be drawn to join your ranks)"

"What the hell are these hermits and madmen?"

Faced with Milestone System that, as always, defies conventional wisdom.

Roger's smile froze.

But now is not the time to dwell on these things.

Roger suddenly raised his two front legs.

The magnificent, godlike body of the celestial dog stood upright, just like a human!

The next second.

His forelegs pushed out into the surrounding void like fists and palms!

That scene.

It looks like a big yellow dog practicing Tai Chi!

At that time.

The demon army on the sea had already scattered and fled in terror at Roger's earth-shattering gulp! The demons had fallen into a state of madness.

But the instinct for fear remains.

Even under the influence of the seasons.

They also frantically ran in the east, west, and north directions!

It's not just the devils who are on the run.

The two Wilderness God who had been observing were also fleeing! The sika deer and the brown bear were also caught off guard.

This big dog that suddenly appeared is so ferocious!

It devoured the entire demon army in one bite... This is power approaching that of a legendary star beast!

This power terrified them.

And look at how much the big dog is drooling.

I bet he wants to take a few more bites! As a defector from the Wilderness faction.

They certainly valued their lives more than ordinary people, so they were the fastest to escape!

A short while later.

They split up and escaped for nearly 1 kilometer!

On the turbulent sea.

Only Northern Devil Hades, did not flee.

It's not because this guy's courage is unique.

It wasn't because he hadn't even realized what was happening! In his eyes...

The big dog seemed to have just yawned.

Most of the demons evaporated! Evaporated...

Hades stood there, stunned.

His usually sharp mind was racing, but after a long time, he still couldn't come up with a solution.

Everything that was happening before his eyes overturned all his understanding.

Looking at Chesia in the "Purgatory Gale".

Looking at that monstrous, human-like figure on the platform.

Hades suddenly realized that his struggle was completely pointless—

Even if Chesia fails to advance.

The strength displayed by this adulterous couple has already approached the upper limit of the Between Purgatory.

Even the "Extremely Evil Blood Crow Season" could not bridge this enormous gap in strength.

This moment.

Hades suddenly seemed to understand Roger's previous strange behavior—

He nodded.

His approval.

His smile...

Scenes flashed through Hades ' mind like a slideshow.

It felt as if countless knives had pierced his heart simultaneously! "He may have long possessed the power to destroy everything."

"They're just toying with us..."

"If that's really the case."

"Then I'd be so ridiculous, actually putting on such a great show for him..."

Thinking about this...

Hades was completely devastated!

He wearily shed his enormous size—

And in that very instant.

The Heavenly Dog, which had been Charge Up on the platform, finally finished its set of dog-like, human-like palm techniques!

Whoosh! A burst of golden light appeared.

The wind reversed direction.

The celestial dog's forelimbs are crossed and loosely grasped.

The flowing spiritual energy condensed into a pattern resembling a yin-yang symbol.

The next second.

An extremely domineering suction force erupted from the palm of the Tengu!

"Monster Heavenly Body: Returning Heaven Palm!"...

Boom! In the instant the wind rose.

The maritime outpost was propelled to its peak by the surging tides from all sides! At that moment.

All targets within a 3-kilometer radius were pulled back! Their movements were as if they had been hit by a time-reversal spell—

One by one, they were forced to retreat! Then they were crammed together in utter chaos.

Even the brown bear and the sika deer were no exception!

Under the Yellow Beard Daoist's unparalleled Returning Heaven Palm.

The demons quickly merged with the seawater.

It turned into rings of human Sea Dragon! The tornadoes connected the sea and the sky.

It whirred and spun around the image of the celestial dog.

The next second.

Roger abolished the form of the Monster Heavenly Body.

He wielded the stick while still in human form.

It leaped high into the air and plunged into the tornado.

They unleashed a fierce attack on those demons!...

"Martial Arts: The Ocean-Fixing Strike!"...

"Notification: Your special ability ' Staff Skill Spirit Connection ' is active (click to view description)"

Snap! Snap! Snap! Within the Sea Dragon.

A series of muffled thuds sounded.

Roger was playing very seriously!

Each strike of the "Ocean-Fixing Strike" consumes a large amount of spiritual energy, and its effects are naturally visible to the naked eye.

Every swing of the Wishful Thinking Cudgel not only causes AOE damage that is 80 meters long and 5 meters wide, but also summons 80 to 160 dogs that are covered in golden light!

These Summon: Fierce Spirit Dog are all from the same clan as the Yellow Beard Daoist! They possess extremely strong group combat capabilities.

A short while later.

The platform boasts over 1,000 Summon: Fierce Spirit Dog! Their barking and beatings are constant companions.

The demons in the Sea Dragon were swept away as if by an autumn wind!

The sika deer and brown bear were Roger's main targets.

After all, it's an elite monster, and a traitorous Wilderness God.

They were surrounded by the most dogs, and they also received the most beatings.

final.

The two died in extremely gruesome circumstances.

It's a pity.

The traitorous duo not only didn't get any special skills, but they also didn't get much loot!

This infuriated Roger.

I almost had the urge to whip the corpse!

"Auto-pickup: You have obtained the Heart of the Wild (Brown Bear)"

"Tower Defense Mode: You successfully defended against the second and third waves of enemy attacks. Only one enemy unit remains around the sea outpost. Tower Defense Mode ends."

"Rewards are being processed, please wait..."

"Huh?"

"Are there still some who escaped the net?"

See here.

Roger was somewhat surprised.

You need to know.

The Yellow Beard Daoist's Returning Heaven Palm is a super-enhanced version; no one within a 3-kilometer radius should be able to escape.

Who was the one who slipped through the Returning Heaven Palm? Roger looked over curiously.

But what one sees is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Only one sheep-headed guy with a blank stare stood there, stunned.

"It's him..."

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

His previously murderous gaze suddenly softened.

He checked the data records.

"Battle Log: Hades canceled his gigantic form and gained 100% toughness for 0.2 seconds."

Hades has exempted you from the ' Returning Heaven Palm ' technique.

"Is this even possible?"

Roger watched the dazed goat-headed man with great interest.

Roger thought for a moment.

He walked quickly to Hades, and without saying a word, just stared at him.

The latter raised his head blankly, and finally asked hesitantly:

Why don't you kill me?

Roger weighed the stick in his hand, intending to end the other's life with one blow, but for some reason, he suddenly blurted out, "I am a contract master."

Hades paused, staring at Roger in disbelief:

"You want me to become your servant?"

Are you trying to humiliate me?

Before Roger could respond.

The next second.

Hades immediately knelt down. "Why didn't you come to humiliate me sooner?"

"I, Hades, the ram-headed Hades, am deeply honored to be your..."

Roger interrupted coldly, "Don't rush."

"I need to ask you a few questions first..."

Hades nodded and bowed hastily, saying, "Of course."

"Master, I will answer your questions to the best of my knowledge."

Roger glanced at the Purgatory Gale beside him and asked his first question, "Can you confirm that Blood Crow is really dead?"

Hades paused for a moment.

His instinctive response was, 'Isn't it obvious?'

But after careful consideration...

He shook his head and said:

"Cannot."

"We are all subordinates of the Blood Crow Lord. In the world of Purgatory, subordinates cannot be absolutely certain of the status of their superiors."

Roger nodded.

He then asked, "What do you know about Cage Island, Blood Crow Castle, and the Wilderness Temple?"

This time.

Hades recounted everything he knew without hesitation.

Roger silently compared it with the known intelligence.

About Blood Crow Castle.

This guy talks the most.

They practically ripped up the Blood Crow's lair.

The Wilderness Temple and the Cage Island.

This guy is always vague and ambiguous.

According to Hades himself, he was the devil of the North who took over the position more than 30 years ago, and was the least senior, so he didn't really know much about those old stories.

Regarding Hades's statement.

Roger neither confirmed nor denied the allegations.

He quickly posed one last question, "How many humans have you killed in your life?"

Upon hearing this question...

Hades ' face flushed red instantly.

He stammered and didn't say anything.

Roger impatiently weighed the stick in his hand, and the latter immediately said embarrassedly, "One..."

"Not a single one!"

Roger immediately frowned and shouted:

"You're lying?!"

Hades quickly explained:

"I did not manage to kill a single human being with my own hands."

Before becoming a Northern Devil, I was always at the very bottom of the devil's hierarchy of contempt—

My race are goat-headed people with demonic blood, you know...

In short, I had no opportunity to come into contact with humans at that time.

I did grow up later.

And the title "Hades, the wise and brave" is indeed something I earned by fighting my way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

But I only killed creatures from hell!

After the death of the previous Northern Demon.

I was tasked with leading troops into battle.

Most of their time was spent training soldiers, and a small portion of their time was spent attacking the "Cage Mountain Camp".

To be honest.

My record isn't very good—I've been fighting at Cage Mountain Camp for so many years and not many people have died, and I myself haven't had a chance to directly take action.

You can verify this with the Wilderness Temple.

I know.

This is a very shameful thing.

As a devil, I failed to kill even one person—for which I was even ridiculed by some of my compatriots as the 'king of infighting among devils'.

But it's not that I did a bad job, it's just that the timing was wrong..."

Hades continued rambling on.

Roger had already secretly cast a divination for him without making a sound.

I don't know if it's because Blood Crow really died.

Roger felt like the sun was breaking through the clouds when he used divination.

Both the divination results and the Sixth Sense confirmed that what Hades said was true.

In Hades ' plan.

This war was a golden opportunity for him to prove that he was not an expert in civil war but an incompetent in foreign war.

It's a pity.

He met Roger.

Everything then became wonderful.

"Sixth Sense: You sense an inexplicable connection between this ram-headed person and you; perhaps killing is not the only solution."

I don't know if it was because of those few "divine assists".

After confirming that Hades had not killed anyone.

Roger found the guy more and more pleasing to the eye.

Even the ram's horns on the other person's head, which symbolized evil, appeared delicate.

final.

He put down the stick in his hand and switched back to his original form.

With a soft "pfft!", under Hades's uneasy gaze...

Roger finally crushed the "Contract Orb" he had taken advantage of from Sonsonia!...

"Contractor: You have gained 1 additional Contract Point."

"You have acquired a new servant: Hades the Goat-Headed (LV89/Hope of the Goat-Headed Clan/Tactical Master/Devilish Strife King/ War Authority Rank 0.3...)"

"Owner!"

Hades knelt down and wept bitterly:

"I deeply regret what I did!"

"I shouldn't have verbally insulted you and the lady of the house..."

"And we shouldn't have incited those low-level devils to offend you and cause you trouble..."

Roger raised an eyebrow.

He immediately corrected him seriously. "First of all, that one can hardly be called the hostess."

"Secondly..."

"Who told you you were causing me trouble?"

Hades looked completely stunned.

Roger didn't offer much explanation.

He believed that Hades, with his intelligence, should be able to figure something out on his own.

Actually, his acceptance of Hades wasn't simply due to fate.

The main consideration was that "Diana was too assertive".

Currently, none of his servants can rival Diana.

Over time, this will inevitably become a hidden danger.

Roger's servants certainly wouldn't cause trouble.

But what if Roger isn't there? Like last time.

Roger buried himself in mining.

Diana then got him a crown.

Although the result wasn't bad.

But this was also something beyond Roger's plan.

"Someone still needs to be able to compete with Diana!"

"The time has come to test the true value of Hades ' title of 'King of Internal Strife'..."

"I hope he can prove himself."

Thinking this way.

Roger then made his way to the vicinity of the Purgatory Gale.

It was at this moment.

A new notification appeared in the data panel.

"Tower Defense Mode: Successfully defended against the second and third waves of attacks, and you have obtained 6000 Constitution Shard (total 8000)."

"Do you wish to exchange the Constitution Shard for constitution?"

See here.

Roger took a deep breath.

Tears welled up in my eyes! After making a decisive confirmation.

He then added another free Attribute Points to it.

This moment.

Roger's physique finally broke through 20 points.

We've reached the realm of the extraordinary!...

"Transcendent Constitution: You have broken through the shackles of humanity and possess a physique that is one in ten thousand. You will gain the following abilities, but not limited to the following—"

You were the most popular sparring partner during the preparation for the boxing tournament;

You can easily break a boulder with your chest;

Your body can metabolize all extraordinary toxins, and even Ascension-grade toxins are unlikely to harm you.

You possess dragon-like self-healing and recovery abilities; you can satisfy all the requirements of female humanoid beings for their mate;

You can also satisfy the needs of a considerable number of female non-humanoid beings; your probability of being entangled by Succubus and other creatures increases significantly...

"Transcendent Constitution: You have gained the Perk - Taunt Halo"

"Taunt Halo: Once activated, units with a friendship level below Friendly will inexplicably dislike you;

Most passersby will feel the urge to provoke you; the remaining small minority will be unable to control their nameless anger and will take the initiative to attack you.

Note 1: This halo works even better when used in conjunction with profanity or sarcastic remarks.

Note 2: You can also transfer this aura to your servants.

Note 3: The effect on non-human creatures is reduced by half.

"This..."

"Isn't this a standard ability for male protagonists in some online novels?"

Roger couldn't help but make a comment.

But the next second...

He was drawn to the second note.

"Hmm..."

"Even servants can be mocked..."

Roger was still thinking.

The Purgatory Gale not far away suddenly became unstable! "Ah..."

A soft, delicate moan came from the raging wind.

Roger couldn't help but raise his head.

As a result, I accidentally activated "Eye Technique: Absolute Insight"!...
