A Change in the Cheat Ability
When it comes to impersonating someone, the Rose Bishop needs to create her own character's face. However, if it's Faceless, he can basically achieve a complete Mimic. Not only that, the Faceless can even Mimic the target's voice, and to some extent, can completely replace someone.
This ability is very unique and rare, so although he may not necessarily use it, Luther decided to keep it for now.
In addition, he can retain two abilities.
The Faceless's soul also possesses various abilities such as "Divination," "Paper Soldiers," "Air Bullet," "Flaming Jump," "Illusion," "Bone Softening," "Paper Figurine Substitute," "Damage Transfer," and "Air Straw."
Wait a minute, what the heck is Air Straw?
It seems to be for Underwater Breathing... That's such a narrow application scenario...
After ignoring a certain essentially useless ability, Luther also ruled out the abilities of "Bone Softening" and "Damage Transfer". His own ability to manipulate his Flesh is already very strong, so he doesn't need to soften his bones or transfer damage, because he usually just takes the damage head-on.
For this reason, he also ruled out "Paper Soldiers" and "Illusion." To him, these two skills were of little use.
So all that's left are "Divination", "Air Bullet", "Flaming Jump" and "Paper Figurine Substitute".
At this moment, Luther couldn't help but recall Ms. M.
The woman chose three options: "Air Bullet," "Flaming Jump," and "Paper Figurine Substitute." "Flaming Jump," in particular, could be combined with the Pyromaniac's Arson ability to achieve rapid movement, with excellent results.
As for the "Paper Figurine Substitute," it is also very effective. The Shepherd, who is already physically strong, will have his already strong survival ability greatly enhanced by the addition of the Substitute from time to time.
As for "Air Bullet," as a long-range attack method, we already have "Flesh Bomb" and "Arson," so we can disregard them.
As for "occupying".
Luther hesitated for a moment.
While in Tingen, Klein had taught him how to take the field, and he had tried it, but the results weren't particularly good.
Perhaps his talent doesn't lie here; using his Grazing Divination abilities might improve the situation. However, a significant portion of Divination can actually be replaced by Ritual, such as consulting Spirit World Creature. Therefore, his need for divination isn't particularly high.
Therefore, Luther ultimately decided to retain the following three abilities: the "Faceless's" appearance ability, "Flaming Jump," and "Paper Figurine Substitute"!
As he made his decision, the soul within his body finally settled into the empty space, and the three abilities manifested themselves, forming a subtle but real connection with Luther's soul. As long as he had a thought, the corresponding ability could be used immediately.
Why don't we give it a try first?
Thinking this, he raised his hand and, using the Pyromaniac's abilities, created a burning fireball. Then he aimed it at the other side of the alley.
Throw the fireball.
"Boom!"
The fireball shot out quickly, and when it reached the alley entrance, Luther switched souls and entered the body of the "Faceless" who had just Grazing. He stared at the ball of fire and made a gesture as if he wanted to leap over it.
"Brush!"
He felt a sudden lightness in his body, a flash of fire before his eyes, and when he landed again, the scenery around him had instantly changed.
-
He jumped to where the fireball had just been!
That's great, a very useful capability.
Luther nodded in satisfaction. He estimated that the furthest distance "Flaming Jump" could reach was about twenty-five or twenty-six meters, which was more than enough in ordinary combat.
The only problem is that Shepherd cannot Grazing two souls at the same time. In other words, to combine these two skills, he must use one before switching to the other.
It's a bit troublesome, and the switching also makes the coordination stiff. It would be better if I could Grazing multiple souls at the same time...
"Whoosh--"
As Luther was thinking this, suddenly, the sound of Phantom Tide echoed in his mind.
Huh? What's going on? I didn't actively summon it...
He was puzzled to discover that the invisible Tide was reverberating, flowing down from his mind and into his body.
Is the tide coming in?
A faint, ethereal coolness immediately filled his abdomen, as if seawater were truly entering his body. This ethereal seawater filled his chest and abdomen.
At the same time, it filled the space within him where the Lamb resided. Those Grazing souls were thus also soaked in the strange seawater.
Then, something strange happened.
At this moment, Luther was Grazing to the soul of the "Faceless." Just now, the "Pyromaniac's" soul had been quietly staying within his body, unable to make any movements. However, with the soaking of this Tide, the "Pyromaniac's " soul, which had been fixed in place, suddenly became active.
Under the nourishing warmth of the seawater, while Luther was Grazing the "Faceless," the soul of the "Pyromaniac" was also able to connect with him!
Two souls can now Grazing simultaneously?!
Luther was extremely surprised. He opened his hand, and sure enough, flames ignited in his palm.
Meanwhile, he was also Grazing the souls of the "Faceless"!
Feeling the Tide within his body and the activity of his two souls, he was both surprised and excited. As his own Sequence improved, this Tide, whose true form was unknown, also grew stronger.
"Boom!"
He threw a fireball, sending it flying towards the corpse, and then used the "Flaming Jump" ability again. Without switching souls, he smoothly leaped, even Fire Control's movement just before the jump, achieving precise control over the landing point.
As the flames subsided, Luther appeared before the body, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Sure enough, it's much smoother now. Without needing to switch, the time spent on movement is reduced, and I can combine the two abilities. If I had kept the "Air Bullet" ability, perhaps I could combine the two now and fire a "fire bullet."
The sound of the Tide within my body subsided, seemingly due to the depletion of some Spirituality caused by Grazing simultaneously.
Without the Tide, he could only Grazing alone, but Grazing with the Tide would consume more of his Spirituality energy, so he had to make a choice. But in any case, his ability was much stronger than that of an ordinary Shepherd, and if used well, it would definitely have amazing effects.
Having figured these things out, Luther couldn't help but feel happy.
Just then, he heard footsteps at the alley entrance. Looking up, he saw it was his sister Cecilia.
"Brother, is it resolved?"
She seemed to have great faith in Luther's abilities, and asked softly.
Luther nodded and smiled.
Behind the black-haired girl, Ciel and his men approached nervously. When they saw the gruesome corpse, several of the more timid men immediately vomited. Ciel didn't vomit, but his complexion was also not good.
Luther didn't care. He searched the "corpse's" pockets and found only a few coins, some candles, pendulums and other Divination tools, and some cut-out paper strips... He didn't find any Paper Figurine Substitute, which were probably all used up.
After searching the body, he stood up and looked at Ciel and the others.
This is just the elimination of one extraordinary individual; more conflicts are erupting in the chaotic area. Luther wants to inquire about more information and try to gain more benefits from this chaos.
The night has only just begun.
