Sequence Five, Completion
Then Altair turned to the children and said to them, "I hope we can actually meet in real life someday."
After bidding farewell to everyone, she immediately felt her Astral Body rise again, breaking through the edge of the Gray Mist world.
She saw her dream as a giant bubble, growing from the "island of consciousness" and quietly enveloping it.
The area around this bubble is hazy Gray Mist, with other bubbles faintly visible in the distance, and beneath those bubbles often corresponds to an island of consciousness.
In the Gray Mist depths lies a silent, shimmering, illusory ocean with an unseen bottom.
Seeing this scene, Altair couldn't help but exclaim, "The Sea of Collective Subconscious is truly magnificent! Is this the special perspective of the Dreamwalker '? The way he can see the Mind World of others."
After browsing through the images, Altair reluctantly withdrew his gaze, leaving the dream world behind and returning to reality.
They called Vivian, who was standing at the door, back to sleep, and then the two of them fell into a deep sleep again.
On November 30, 1347, at dusk, under the full moon, Altair picked up the materials beside him and began to prepare...
He drank the Scarlet Scholar's "Potion" and completed the Secondary Pathway, the Moon pathway, advancement.
On December 5, 1347, at dusk, after Altair had assembled the specially made astronomical telescope, he asked Adam, "Is this necessary? I'm just observing the stars, not looking at them."
Adam stood to the side, nodding solemnly, and said, "I think it's absolutely necessary."
After taking a deep breath, Altair stopped talking about the topic and began calibrating the star finder. He casually asked, "How is stargazing progressing in this world? How many stars are known? Can we still use the ones observed in the old world?"
"There are millions of stars, the exact number is Record and impossible to verify. Deep-sky objects, around one hundred thousand—the Old World can use the observed celestial bodies for advancement, but they are not the best choice," Adam replied calmly.
Altair nodded, then asked, "Do you have any personal advice for my promotion to 'Astronomer '?"
"No." Adam shook his head.
--
After Altair finished adjusting the specially made telescope, he ignored Adam and began observing the starry sky on his own.
After more than half an hour of observation and random naming, Altair's Spirituality finally gave her an insight: she could advance.
She looked up, wanting to share her joy with someone, but there was no one around.
Seeing this, Altair thought to himself, "Do you even have any humanity at all, or are you just pretending?"
After disassembling the astronomical telescope, Altair returned to his underground laboratory, retrieved the materials he had prepared, and began concocting Potion.
Main material: Astronomer's "Beyonder Characteristic".
It is a sheet-like crystal covered with mysterious cracks and sparkling stars.
Auxiliary materials: 200 ml of Star-Marked Elephant Man Blood, 3 pieces (fragments) of the ordinary shell of the Dancing Giant Turtle, 1 set of convex and concave mirrors, 10 drops of Starward Flower Dew. After pouring the Potion from the pot into the beaker, Altair obtains a cup of liquid reflecting the dreamy starry sky.
Calming his mind, Altair drank the Potion in one gulp. After it was fully absorbed, he arrived at the Spirit Realm Castle and began his transformation.
As time passed, and the imperfections on Altair's body disappeared, she returned to reality.
I began to experience my new abilities.
First, the Sequence Five of the Demoness Pathway, the core ability of the Demoness of Affliction.
In the field of disease: Creatures within fifty meters will slowly become infected, starting with basic skin allergies, colds, and fevers, which can escalate into severe pneumonia within twenty or thirty seconds—and even a stroke within two or three minutes—
"Charm": Influenced by abilities such as "Dreamwalker," "Modification," "Vampire," "Blood Servant Transformation," "Beast Tamer," and "Animal Senses," it was transformed into an active skill and a passive ability. Altair, for the sake of simplicity, named it:
The active ability "Beast Taming" requires her to act like Beast Tamer, actively entering the fray and taming creatures to make them follow her wholeheartedly.
However, this ability has a major drawback: it requires dealing with the Beast's counterattack on your own.
As for what kind of backlash that would be, she felt disgusted just thinking about it. What good could someone who had been seduced possibly do?
Passive ability "Influence": Anyone whose Spirituality is not higher than hers and who does not have special protective abilities will gradually be influenced and controlled by her charm, and will submit to her as their master. This ability is very gentle and hidden, and is not easy to detect. It is suitable for use on Low Sequence.
"Guidance" has become somewhat combined with "Scarlet Scholar's" "Nightmare Resistance," resulting in her now being a natural counter to this Pathway. As long as the opponent is not one Sequence higher than her, she can guide them in the opposite direction, making them reveal their innermost secrets.
As for restrictions, they remain the same as always: the device can only be used after the other person has fallen asleep, unless she actively intervenes using abilities such as "charm and hypnosis".
"Dream Traversal" is combined with "Scarlet Scholar's" "Moonlight Transformation" and "Flash," allowing her body to become ethereal at night. Under the moonlight, she can freely travel and flash within 500 meters, jumping into other people's dreams.
If the enemy wants to interrupt this special state targeting her spirit, the simplest and most efficient method is to do so. For physical attacks, they would need to find her, stabilize her physical state, and then deliver a swift and decisive blow.
Without moonlight, it can only become ethereal and Dream Infiltration. But please don't forget that the Scarlet Scholar "can create his own."
The full moon shines.
As for the final "full moon," it combines with the Astronomer ' "False Star Signs," "Star's Blessing," and "Star's Curse" to form a "False Sky."
"False Sky":
The first layer of effect is to create a false celestial phenomenon, which can confuse the enemy, interfere with the target's astrological calculations, and bring about false changes in celestial phenomena.
Of course, it's not entirely an illusion; the anomalies within a hundred-meter radius at the core are real, such as tides and electromagnetic disturbances.
The second effect is to attract starlight and change the gravity acting on targets within the area.
By gathering starlight and rubbing rays by hand, one can inflict various effects such as weakness, mutation, and injury.
The third layer: The first effect is: Creating a full moon "changes a certain area nearby to a full moon state," illuminating the area with moonlight, fostering Spirituality, enhancing inspiration, and strengthening death—
The second effect is to conceal the "full moon" state, allowing the Spirituality to remain unaffected by the "full moon" and return to normal.
In addition to these, Altair's original supple yet Feather Fall physical strength, dark Spells, curses, potion effects, and Extraordinary Item creation abilities have all been enhanced to some extent.
