Nirvana Magic Crystal

Despite the rout, they were still fleeing.

But these demons still displayed surprising qualities during their retreat.

They quickly split into two groups and retreated while covering each other.

also.

Two demons let out sharp, low growls.

The next second.

A large pack of ' Intimidation Hellhound ' suddenly appeared from the surrounding void to cover their retreat.

From Roger's tactical perspective.

This level of skill is comparable to that of the elite among demons! But demons are naturally lawful beings.

Getting them to obey discipline is as simple as getting them to drink more water and eat more.

But demons are different.

Their inherent chaotic nature will be amplified a hundredfold in times of crisis!

That is precisely why.

Roger grew increasingly curious about the forces behind these demons! He didn't have any other strange thoughts.

only.

"If this method can even tame demons, wouldn't it be even more efficient for other races?"

Such a thought flashed through Roger's mind.

but.

No matter how curious you are.

Roger wouldn't let these Abyss Creature go either.

At present.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

A beam of white light shot out from Roger's palm.

They charged swiftly towards the demon squad on the left.

"The Flowing Magnetic Diffraction Formless Sword"!...

Theoretically, Roger should not be able to activate the Life Sword.

After all, his aura was sealed by the laws of the Ancient Desolate Continent.

But Roger soon realized...

I can actually manipulate the Life Sword simply by using my 'thoughts'.

This process does not consume any gas at all.

It's just the corresponding thing.

The power of the Life Sword will also be reduced.

It can only unleash the pure damage of the Life Sword itself.

Its activation method is also closer to that of a real "projectile".

despite this.

For Roger, the damage from his Life Sword is now sufficient.

A faint white light pierced through the howling pack of vicious dogs.

A short while later.

Two demons had their backs pierced!

Screams rang out one after another.

They had to stop to fight off the oncoming Life Sword.

Upon seeing this.

Roger smiled slightly.

He was trying to do two things at once.

He wielded the Life Sword to slay demons.

He quickly chased after the demon on the right.

As for that pack of vicious dogs...

Roger pretended not to see it.

He would only retaliate when he was really annoyed by the harassment.

The result is usually a fatal blow.

no way.

Roger's physical condition is now absolutely freakish.

The Abyss Creature, whose physiques they were so proud of, looked like delicate little sisters in front of Roger.

He wildly waved his fists.

They would occasionally coordinate with the Formless Sword's sneak attacks.

They easily killed one demon after another.

And in this process.

Roger gradually discovered that his boxing skills had greatly improved! With each punch...

He could feel his boxing skills improving dramatically!

"Perhaps..."

"I was indeed too reliant on Qi before!"

Roger pondered to himself:

"Ultimately, Qi is just one branch of the development of the Hidden Hero. Even without Qi, martial arts can still be very strong..."

Thinking this way.

He found himself trying out more positions without even realizing it.

Mountain Splitting Fist!

Shattering Palm!...

Snake Form Fist!...

Groin Kick!...

Three minutes later.

Accompanied by a crisp, loud sound of an egg breaking.

The last demon clutched his lower abdomen, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.

The white Life Sword flew by leisurely.

They poured the cold water down his throat, confirming that he was completely dead.

Roger smiled with satisfaction.

But soon.

He shook his head again, somewhat helplessly. "What the heck..."

"After testing for a while, I still think Groin Kick and Knee Strike are the most effective!"

Standing beside the corpse.

Roger looked around.

But one can see the place where the rocky area meets the dense forest.

More than twenty corpses of Greater Demon lay scattered about.

Aimerhua was the leader.

None of those demons escaped! Roger was quite satisfied with the result.

As for those vicious dogs...

He did not let it go unpunished either.

This wave could barely be considered a half-satisfying kill.

The reason it wasn't satisfying is quite simple.

The enemy fell too quickly—

"Everyone says demons are very durable, but it seems they're not all that great after all..."

Roger gave a soft hum.

My gaze swept over the data panel.

Apart from vicious dogs.

The Greater Demon didn't offer any good attributes.

Only Aimerhua relatively sensible.

No wonder he became the leader.

"Log: You have killed 'Demon Lord Aimerhua '"

"You have acquired the special ability from Aimerhua — Superior Chaos Blood."

"Superior Chaos Blood: In the continuous battle, you will become more and more excited, and your basic attributes such as strength, constitution, and agility will increase with the intensity of the battle."

at the same time.

Your IQ may drop significantly...

My assessment is—garbage!

Roger quickly clicked to turn off the special ability.

Then I moved this thing to the first tier of "Specialization Crusher" for future use.

"You have acquired a specialty from Aimerhua — Limb Regeneration."

"Limb Regeneration: Any part of your body except your core torso can regrow in a very short time after suffering a devastating blow."

The required time is: 30 seconds to 180 seconds.

Cooldown time: 8 hours

"This one is alright."

"Although it's unlikely I'll ever need to use it given my physical condition."

Roger also pondered the definition of "outside the core body".

This expertise might be quite valuable to others.

But for him, who possessed the ability to Shrinking Yang Into Abdomen...

It's just average, actually.

Thinking this way.

His gaze swept over the last specialty.

"You have acquired Aimerhua's special ability— the Kiss of Blasphemy."

"Kiss of Blasphemy: You can achieve this feat by kissing someone with colored skin."

Once the kiss is successful.

The goal will be desecrated—

If the target is the Celestial Template.

Then it loses the holiness of all celestial templates.

And they will suffer enormous damage.

If the goal is thus compromised.

You may then obtain the ' Celestial Fallen ' template.

If the target is a general template for humans or other humanoid organisms.

The target may enter a brief state of chaos.

If the goal is thus compromised.

You may then obtain a portion of the ' Abyss Creature ' template.

Note: The Kiss of Blasphemy consumes a great deal of energy.

This was a fatal blow to some high-level celestial beings.

Please use with caution!

What an evil specialty!

Roger frowned—

He didn't like it very much.

Let's be reasonable.

How could someone as upright as him use a "Kiss of Blasphemy" to harm others?

Not to mention, the usage requirements for this thing are quite demanding—

What is meant by "colored skin"?

"Besides the lips, what other place?"

Roger became increasingly puzzled.

Considering the specialization's focus on celestial beings.

Roger did not include it in the "Specialization Crusher" waiting list.

But he himself is absolutely against using this expertise.

Hmm.

or.

"Could Vilan use it?"

Roger thought to himself, feeling a little guilty.

all in all.

Aimerhua's three specializations were of relatively average quality.

Roger is too lazy to care about these things now.

Order Cindy to collect the body quickly.

He then went back and found Axiya and Brandon staring at each other.

Both of them sustained injuries of varying degrees.

If Roger hadn't been there.

They will definitely fight again.

Roger rushed back so urgently because he was afraid they would start fighting again.

It wasn't that he lacked confidence in the Copper Dragon Axiya.

Rather, they had too much faith in Brandon.

This guy's ability to cause trouble is top-notch.

I need to keep a close eye on him!...

Fortunately.

Brandon appeared unusually well-behaved this time.

Despite his face showing obvious grievance.

They didn't dare to attack the Copper Dragon, which was recovering from its injuries.

Roger was quite pleased to see this.

At present.

He took out the token given to him by the Primal Dwarves and gave it to Axiya.

He also conveyed his apology to her on behalf of Brandon.

The latter stared at that thing for a long time.

He finally let out a muffled groan.

This can be considered as accepting Roger's apology.

On the other side.

Roger adjusted Brandon's ribs.

He then recounted the whole story.

Brandon was a bit reckless.

But he's not an idiot either.

The demons just appeared under the Truth-Revealing Flute.

He then roughly guessed some of it.

Now that I've heard Roger's account...

He suddenly realized.

Without saying a word, he ran over to Axiya and apologized for a long time.

It wasn't until the Copper Dragon got annoyed and sent him out with a flick of its tail.

Only then did he stop his reckless actions.

However, judging from the attitude of the Copper Dragon.

She finally truly forgave Brandon.

After resolving this matter.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Logically speaking...

Roger and Brandon were old friends.

However, none of these meetings were particularly pleasant.

In Roger's memory.

The last time we met was when I used Brandon as a human shield...

in addition.

Roger's strength improved too quickly.

Even someone as outgoing as Brandon would probably feel awkward for trying to get close to someone.

Actually, Roger was quite moved by Brandon's act of stepping forward when Red Leaf attempted to assassinate him last time.

He still has a good impression of Brandon.

To defuse this awkward situation.

He simply asked frankly:

"When did I sleep with your woman?"

Brandon was taken aback. "You... you... you..."

Roger nodded in agreement:

"I heard everything."

Brandon blushed instantly:

"How could you..."

Roger coughed lightly.

He immediately put on a stern face and asked seriously:

"Don't ask me what I heard. This concerns my reputation, and I have to get to the bottom of it!"

Brandon hesitated for a moment.

He then smiled wryly and said, "It is the Messiah."

"She saw you subdue that old dragon that day... Sigh, she's turned me down several times since then..."

"I suspect she probably fell for you at first sight."

"Waaaaah..."

"My Messiah ...she had the biggest boobs of all 17 of my lovers on the West Coast ..."

Brandon's side started crying and sobbing for a while.

Roger simply frowned and remained silent.

However, the awkward atmosphere between the two was somewhat eased.

Brandon noticed that he always had a furrowed brow.

He then patted Roger's shoulder forcefully:

"Never mind!"

"I don't blame you for what happened to the Messiah!"

"It's just that our fate was too shallow..."

"Hey! At least say something!"

What are you thinking about?

"Damn it! You're not thinking about the Messiah, are you...? I can't accept that!"

Roger was being urged on by him.

Hesitantly, he asked, "Ah!"

"I'm thinking..."

Who is the Messiah?

The atmosphere froze.

After a while.

After a long pause, Brandon patted Roger on the shoulder even harder:

"Fine..."

"It's alright now..."

The latter looked at Brandon with an innocent expression.

unconsciously.

Brandon's hands were swollen from clapping.

And Roger's shoulder.

They are still safe and sound.

Although both the process and the ending were somewhat bizarre.

Roger managed to win over Brandon without much trouble.

The two sides exchanged intelligence.

The latter confessed to Roger that he had come for the Awakening Orb.

If we can open Secret Vault No. 1.

He then hoped to borrow the precious pearl.

Roger naturally wouldn't refuse such a request.

He was actually quite curious about Brandon's true background.

After allowing Brandon to rest for a while.

Roger arrived at the entrance of the cave in the rocky area.

A faint flame flickered nearby.

He could tell from a moment's senses that Axiya's current condition was very bad.

The physical fight with Brandon had greatly depleted her energy and sanity.

The Aberrant Matter within her body is becoming increasingly active! As soon as Roger arrived...

Axiya struggled to lift her head.

Unlike its ugly and rough appearance.

Her voice was surprisingly gentle and pleasant. "I am very happy that the descendants of the Earth Spirit have found a new guardian."

"I am about to fall and become a true monster..."

"Perhaps I should leave here."

"The treasure vault will also be guarded by you."

Roger watched as she awkwardly propped up her massive body.

A growing sense of pity arose in my heart.

He knew that Axiya had once been the dragon spirit of this place.

He is also a part of the Wilderness God.

This indicates that she possesses the primal power to resist Aberrant Matter.

As long as she is not completely contaminated.

There is still a chance to save it!

only.

The process will be quite painful.

Roger then pondered and said, "If you can endure the pain, perhaps I can help you remove the tumor from your body..."

"But this method is somewhat dangerous."

"After it's all over, you'll need a long time to recover."

Axiya looked at Roger calmly:

"I have been immersed in the torment of purgatory for eons."

"Danger is no different from liberation for me."

Roger nodded.

The next second.

He took out a pen holder made of Fish Scale Porcelain from his pocket!

Inside the pen holder.

The firelight faintly glowed orange-red.

"This is the Jade Phoenix True Fire."

Roger explained, "It can incinerate all Aberrant Matter."

"Once upon a time, an Ancient Red Dragon used it to remove the Aberrant Matter from its tail scales..."

Axiya's body trembled slightly.

Whoosh.

She handed it over.

"I know this kind of flame!"

"Bring it on."

"I'm not afraid of pain!"

Axiya said in a trembling voice.

Roger no longer hesitated.

He carefully drew out a wisp of Jade Phoenix True Fire from the pen holder.

A flash of orange-yellow light streaked past.

True fire adorned Axiya's tail like shooting stars.

The latter suddenly tightened its scales and claws! "Ah..."

She let out a low cry of pain.

The next second.

The tail scales, speckled with black spots, burst into flames.

Then its entire tail was engulfed by the terrifying flames!

Roger focused intently on adjusting the amount of Jade Phoenix True Fire.

About 10 minutes later.

He stopped the burning process.

Axiya's tail was burned off by one-third!

There was a pile of dark ash under her buttocks.

There were also some glowing crystalline objects inside!

"As expected of the Jade Phoenix True Fire!"

"Back then, Hongye relied on the remaining flames of the Jade Phoenix Nest and spent so many years grinding away before finally burning off her tail scales."

"Just use it to heat for a few minutes..."

Roger was somewhat pleased.

If Axiya can really be saved by him.

So, in the future, in terms of combating Aberrant Matter...

He will gain more control.

Thinking this way.

Roger's attention was suddenly drawn to the crystals in the ashes.

He then greeted Axiya.

He then quickly moved closer.

Gently brush away the ashes.

A bright yellow, irregularly shaped crystal suddenly burst forth with brilliant light! (On the data panel.)

Hint: You have discovered the ' Nirvana Magic Crystal '.

"Nirvana Magic Crystal: A product randomly generated after the Jade Phoenix True Fire burns extremely high concentrations of Aberrant Matter."

If it is added as a sufficient additive during the weapon forging process.

This weapon may gain the 'Special Effect: Devour'.

"Special Effect (Devour): You can devour a weapon of the same type, thereby fusing some of its special effects and attributes."
