Are There Any Areas Left to Improve?

this.

It was somewhat awkward.

Roger instinctively turned his face away.

But some doubts remained in my heart.

Sophie demonstrated the strength Ascension-grade.

Logically speaking, this level of woman...

These physiological risks should have been eliminated long ago.

"What was her reason for not erasing... that part?"

Driven by curiosity.

Roger's mind instantly conjured up a thousand possibilities.

certainly.

All of this was done in secret.

On the surface.

He continued to follow Sophie through the night as if nothing had happened.

However, to Roger's surprise...

We hadn't gone far.

Sophie actually stopped in her tracks.

She glanced back at him with a hint of disdain.

Then he explained in a low voice, "This is a special characteristic of our Celestial Gods Race."

"Ascension does not change the most basic physiological structure. Whether it is a defect or a hidden danger, it cannot be changed before becoming a god..."

Don't overthink it!

Roger was startled.

Instinctively, he retorted:

"I don't!"

"Oh!"

The girl gave a dismissive, dry laugh.

She glared at Roger again. "Although I don't know exactly what you're thinking."

"But I smelled something dirty."

"My perception has never been wrong—never!"

Roger remained silent.

Goodness.

This woman's senses were so sharp that she could perceive Roger's reverie!

This sense of smell.

That's truly surprising.

Just as things were starting to look up between the two, the atmosphere gradually became awkward again.

Roger generously tossed the Hundred Battles Blade to her.

"As agreed."

He said with a smile.

Sophie hesitated for a moment.

A few seconds later.

She reluctantly tossed the Nullification Blades in her hand to Roger—

The terms of the Ancient Desolate Contract clearly state this.

Roger was assisting Sophie in completing her assassination mission.

He has the right to borrow the Nullification Blades!

This is also considered part of the rental content.

but.

After throwing the Nullification Blades to Roger.

Sophie did not stop what she was doing.

She swiftly slashed the pads of her four fingers with the Hundred Battles Blade.

Sizzle.

Without a sound or a sound.

A dozen or so cone-shaped drops of blood floated in the air.

Sophie snorted coldly.

Fingers flicking repeatedly.

Those dozen or so drops of 'divine blood' flew straight toward Roger.

Having anticipated this, Roger solemnly used his Slaughter Authority Rank to collect the dozen or so drops of divine blood.

Use it sparingly.

Sophie warned:

"My divine blood is very precious!"

"You should be able to feel the power within it."

Roger nodded.

Sophie's God Blood was obtained.

He immediately Full Firepower to perceive, observe, and analyze the origin and nature of this thing.

On the data panel.

"Sophie's God Blood (Virgin Blood): Can be used to activate Demigod Artifact conceived by Sophie herself."

Note: Each drop of divine blood can power the Nullification Blades for 1 minute;

Note 2: This blood can be used for exorcism (causing devastating damage to highly Aberrant Creature)...

Please explore its other uses on your own.

"Clone Authority Rank: New data detected. Proceed with the creation of Information Scroll?"

Roger was slightly taken aback.

It's fine that this divine blood can power the Nullification Blades.

It can actually be used to eliminate monsters?

What kind of people are the Celestial Gods Race?!

Why should other people's blood be used to kill monsters?!

Before he could say more,

The prompt from the Clone Authority Rank made him hesitate.

In fact, Roger no longer intends to take advantage of Sophie.

However, one should always be wary of others.

He knew very well why Sophie spoke to him in such a gentle manner.

It was purely because he had demonstrated extremely strong abilities.

If a weakling obtains information about the Celestial Gods Race and then attempts to negotiate with Sophie...

Therefore, decapitation is inevitable.

This girl is no soft-hearted person.

so.

Now that there is an opportunity to copy more information about Sophie from the Subordinate God blood.

Roger naturally wouldn't refuse.

At present.

The Clone Authority Rank then began its tireless work.

After completing the tool change.

The atmosphere between the two eased considerably.

On the way to our destination.

Sophie chatted with Roger casually.

Eight minutes later.

They were standing under a huge spruce tree.

Sophie gestured for her to wait a moment.

Roger nodded in agreement.

The two lingered in place for a while.

Sophie kept gazing westward throughout the time.

It seemed to be waiting for some signal.

Roger, on the other hand, remained calm and continued to assess the surrounding situation.

At that very moment.

Sophie suddenly asked again, "What exactly is your purpose in wanting to use the Nullification Blades?"

"That special effect where one kills a hundred?"

Roger nodded frankly.

Sophie looked thoughtful.

Roger looked at her strangely.

He sensed a very conflicted emotion in the girl.

She seems to be making a very important decision.

Half a minute later.

Sophie seemed to have made up her mind.

She opened her mouth as if to say something.

But at that very moment...

A loud roar suddenly came from the western sky!

A giant engulfed in flames appeared out of nowhere! He stood tall and Three Heads Six Arms.

Endless flames and ash fell from his body.

Every movement he made caused the hundreds of thick iron chains on his body to rustle and grind together! Boom! The giant held an axe that was almost as tall as his massive body.

They are frantically chiseling at the mountains to the west of Ice Dragon Canyon! In just a moment.

Roger's vision was as if it were stained with flames.

He glanced at the data panel subconsciously.

"Notification: You have encountered the Flame Marshal (Ascension-grade /High-Tier Hero of the Fire Elemental Plane)"

"Flame Marshal is wreaking havoc..."

"Quick!"

"It's our turn!"

Sophie moved at the sound.

She led Roger to the north of the spruce forest.

I don't know what methods she used.

After a few short shouts.

An extremely narrow cave entrance appeared before the two of them.

Sophie led Roger into the cave.

Not long after.

The noise outside was left behind by the two of them.

The earth was still trembling.

A tense atmosphere permeated the air.

Two top-tier rogues moved stealthily.

Through the dark, dry cracks in the rocks.

Beyond the shimmering moss.

Not long after.

Roger reached the end of the cave.

What appeared before him was a long, narrow underground canyon shrouded in darkness!

Hint: You have discovered the ' Maze Canyon '

"Is Flame Marshal of your men?"

Standing outside the canyon.

Roger asked in a low voice.

Sophie shook her head. "The hot-tempered and brainless Marshal Fire Element does not belong to any side."

"We just took advantage of his brainlessness and destructive tendencies and dumped him here at the right time."

Perhaps it's because the Ancient Desolate Contract has already taken effect.

The girl revealed more than before:

"The location of Ice Dragon Canyon is very sensitive. It is where the Prime Material Plane and the Totem Realm overlap. If Flame Marshal destroys this place, it is equivalent to destroying the Totem Realm. The Starry Sky God Race will naturally not sit idly by."

"This level of chaos is enough to create an opportunity for us to assassinate the Stone Angel..."

"However, the Stone Angel is stationed in the central army of the Starry Sky God Race. According to my intelligence, the only way to reach his vicinity is to cross this Maze Canyon."

Roger nodded.

Before they make a move.

He quickly asked again:

"How do you plan to assassinate the Stone Angel?"

How do you need my cooperation?

Sophie shook her head and said:

"The Stone Angel Az cannot be killed."

He was Ars Longa's servant.

He is the leader of the Stone Angel.

Before the fall.

The Stone Angel are actually a member of the Celestial Gods Race.

They were once the glory of the Celestial Gods Race.

But that's all in the past.

I don't know what happened back then.

All I know is what happened after the fall.

The Stone Angel thus gained immortality.

They cannot be killed by anyone.

Disease, disaster, suffering...

None of this can erase the life of the Stone Angel.

This characteristic allowed Az and his fellow humans to live for a long time.

Even today.

That is precisely why.

The Stone Angel always appear wise and experienced.

Az is one of the best among them.

They are very difficult to deal with.

However, there are always exceptions.

Based on our clan's observations and research over the past few hundred years.

We discovered that the lives of the Stone Angel are based on their reason.

In other words...

As long as their rationality remains.

They will then be immortal.

But this is not a simple matter.

The tedious and boring pursuit of immortality can easily drive people crazy.

Moreover, they had already been almost completely infiltrated by the Aberrant Matter.

If it weren't for the "Ouroboros Secret Method" of one of the Three Main Gods...

They've probably long since vanished into thin air.

so.

Killing them is also very simple.

"Just destroy the foundation of their secret techniques..."

Having said all that...

Sophie took out a pale green crystalline particle and placed it in front of Roger.

Roger looked closely.

"Extinguished Evil Seed: It cannot infect ordinary creatures, but it can greatly amplify the concentration of Aberrant Matter on monsters..."

"This is a rare artifact extracted by the alchemists of our clan."

Sophie explained:

"The 'evil seeds' from the Endless Sea Abyss can infect normal creatures and turn them into monsters, but they are ineffective against the Starry Sky God Race who possess the Ouroboros Secret Method. However, the 'evil seeds' after being deactivated can detonate the Aberrant Matter within them, achieving a similar effect from another perspective..."

"This is our secret weapon for dealing with the Stone Angel."

"Remember, it's extremely precious; I only have fewer than 20 on hand!"

Roger became increasingly alarmed as he listened.

The amount of information contained in Sophie's words is getting higher and higher.

First and foremost, there was this "evil seed"! Roger had a recollection of it.

In the battle against the Ancient Green Dragon Augustus.

Roger was very interested in the Mikado Green Dragon, which could provide Curse Resistance.

Afterwards, he discovered a substance called "Micardo Evil" in the Green Dragon's lair.

At the time, he speculated that it was the origin of the Mikado Green Dragon.

But now.

He saw the evil seed again.

It's just in an inactivated state.

The effect also became amplification of the concentration of Aberrant Matter.

This made him even more interested in the origins of the evil species.

Secondly.

Roger heard the word "alchemist" from Sophie! Isn't this continent forbidden to all kinds of Extraordinary Strength?

Alchemy is also considered magic, isn't it? Could it be that the alchemists of the Celestial Gods Race are different from others? Or perhaps...

They have mastered a deeper level of power.

So, alchemy can be performed on the Ancient Desolate Continent? Roger recalled Cindy's words.

"Could it be..."

"The Red Valley Alchemist really do have a lineage that has been passed down?"

"Are they related to this Celestial Gods Race?"

In a short time.

Roger's mind was racing.

but.

He quickly put those doubts out of his mind.

Because Sophie was already urging him to set off.

She walked along, quickly introducing the topic:

There are three types of monsters in this Maze Canyon.

"They are not Totem Creature, nor are they related to Totem God; they are purely demonic beings."

"While Flame Marshal is drawing the Celestial Gods Race ' attention, let's hurry and get through this area..."

"In my plan, I've only allocated 8 minutes for this part, so please don't hold back. Let's split up; I'll deal with the first wave of monsters..."

However, when we get to this point...

Roger interrupted her.

"No need."

"Leave it all to me."

Looking towards the entrance to the Maze Canyon.

Roger said with great enthusiasm.

Sophie looked at him hesitantly. "But time..."

"I guarantee we'll make it in time!"

Roger rubbed his hands together, eager to get started, and said, "Just follow behind me!"

After saying that.

He didn't care whether Sophie agreed or not.

It plunged headfirst into the canyon!

Not far away.

A strange, short cry rang out.

Roger's face immediately broke into a genuine smile.

"Think about it carefully..."

"It really has been a long time since I've encountered any monsters!"

"Let me see the quality of your products..."

The initial section of the canyon.

Roger Lightning Speed.

Breaking through the gray fog.

In the darkness.

He did not draw his sword.

Instead, he charged at the first enormous, strange figure that attacked him with his bare hands!

Boom! A punch came crashing down.

The strange shadow screamed as it was smashed to pieces.

But on both sides of the canyon.

More and more enormous, grotesque figures surged forward.

Roger neither dodged nor avoided.

He roamed the canyon like a ferocious beast!

This moment.

The Nonagon Warrior's domineering attributes are displayed to the fullest extent.

No strange shadow could delay him even for a second! (Data bar displayed.)

A wealth of information is flowing freely.

"Hint: You smashed the ' Giant Ant's ' exoskeleton with your fist..."

"You killed a Giant Ant."

"Your mind has become slightly sharper."

"Dice of Destiny: Sin Mark Refreshed"

"Your scalp has become slightly oilier."

"The Sin Mark has been removed!"

"You killed a Half-Goat Men."

"Your rectal temperature has increased slightly."

"Your ability to eat grass has received a slight boost."

"...Cancel!"

5 minutes later.

The center of the canyon.

Roger glanced back at her expressionlessly.

Sophie leaped lightly over the shattered corpses of hundreds of monsters.

Roger breathed a long sigh of relief!

These two types of monsters don't give good attributes.

But the thrill of this close-quarters combat alone is enough to relieve stress.

He turned around.

No need to lure monsters.

One after another, monsters resembling giant mosquitoes had already gathered around.

"Just a reminder."

"Don't let their ugly appearance fool you, they are indeed real dragons."

"You can ask for help anytime."

Sophie said in a low voice.

Roger nodded:

"If it's a true dragon, then things will be even easier."

As he spoke.

He took out the long-dormant "Dragon Slaying Blade" from the Tinder Pouch.

Then, he fearlessly charged into the monster horde!

Hint: You have killed a Mayfly Dragon.

"Your level of greed has slightly increased."

"What?"

Roger was taken aback. "There's still room for improvement?"
