Mission

"Since this Evil profound mystery is named 'Evil', its core essence must certainly be related to that aspect..." Luo Ya kept pondering the sensations he felt when he previously gained insights into the Evil profound mystery.

Gradually, he finally had a vague answer in his heart.

Speaking of the Evil profound mystery within the Laws of Darkness, one must mention the Sacred profound mystery within the Laws of Light.

Light and darkness, although they are two completely opposing laws, often share common points in many respects.

"Sacred and evil, angels and fallen angels... so the so-called 'evil' actually refers to a peculiar state?" Recalling the widely circulated legends of angels and fallen angels in the Material Plane, Luo Ya faintly grasped the true core of the Evil profound mystery!

"The changes in temperament brought about by the Evil profound mystery are merely the most superficial manifestations; tentacles, spider legs, and even wings are just more specialized vessels. There is no essential difference between the three!"

The more he pondered, the brighter Luo Ya's eyes became, like a wise man who had pierced through the fog.

After all, humans are different from fallen angels and divine beasts. Even if they condense wings or tentacles with divine power to fight, it is certainly not as convenient as using their own bodies, and the power that can ultimately be exerted is naturally limited.

The reason why it was necessary to condense things like tentacles at the beginning was simply because it was easier to get started that way.

If one wants to truly delve into the power of the Evil profound mystery, one's own body is the most perfect vessel!

Time passed year by year.

In the blink of an eye, thirty years had already passed.

"Hasn't Luo Ya's cultivation session ended yet?" Milia looked at the scene in the room.

At this moment, the temperature in the room had returned to normal, and even sunlight was spilling in through the windows, making it seem very quiet. Only in one spot, a gloomy and eerie aura was faintly revealed; it was exactly where Luo Ya was sitting cross-legged in cultivation.

Without careful perception, Milia wouldn't even be able to detect that aura.

Luo Ya, who was in a deep state of cultivation, was currently at a very critical moment!

Ever since he gained a deeper understanding of the essence of the Evil profound mystery thirty years ago, his speed of insight into the Evil profound mystery had suddenly increased significantly. At this moment, he could already feel that the Evil profound mystery was about to reach great completion!

Not only that, the fusion of the Evil profound mystery and the Dark Element had also reached its final bottleneck.

"Hum~"

Inside the room, the aura of the Dark Element suddenly permeated the air. With the gathering of a large amount of Dark Element, the space around Luo Ya became extremely eerie. He himself seemed like a statue of an evil god symbolizing great terror; just a single glance at him was enough to cause a tremor in one's soul!

Suddenly, Luo Ya opened his eyes. In those mysterious black pupils, a substantive, impenetrable ghostly light faintly swirled. It was as if these eyes led to a bottomless abyss world, containing an endless evil will!

"So that's how it is. The influence of the Evil profound mystery on the soul is actually like this... It is not a simple attack on the soul, but a deeper level of soul infection, which is even enough to make an opponent lose their sense of self!"

Compared to straightforward soul-impact methods, this subtle method of soul influence is undoubtedly more eerie and difficult to defend against.

And, it is even more terrifying!

"With this move, my current soul attacks cannot be underestimated." As the saying goes, every profession has its own specialty; no matter how strong the Devour profound mystery is, it mainly acts on the material aspect.

If one wants to target the soul, it is naturally inferior to this Evil profound mystery.

"It's a pity that I haven't fused the Fear profound mystery yet, so this soul-attacking ability is still limited." If the Evil profound mystery is used on oneself, it is a great enhancement; when used on an enemy, it is an eerie and hard-to-defend infection.

But in the end, it is only an infection, and the pure lethality is still not high enough.

Of course, with the fusion of profound mysteries, the current power of this move is also quite considerable.

"Luo Ya, have you brought this technique to great completion?" Milia also noticed the change in Luo Ya's aura and quickly guessed the results of his thirty years of cultivation.

"It can indeed be considered great completion." Luo Ya smiled, then asked, "Milia, how are the results of your thirty years of cultivation?"

"I have successfully fused the Wind Element and the Wind Movement Technique profound mysteries. The fusion of the Wind Element and the Clone Technique has also reached minor completion..." Milia's talent in the Laws of Wind is indeed extraordinary.

At this rate, she could fuse the first three profound mysteries within a hundred years.

Of course, because the Laws of Wind have a large number of profound mysteries, even if three profound mysteries are fused to great completion, it is only comparable to the fusion of two profound mysteries in other laws.

"Let's go out and celebrate first, then go to accept Fiend missions." Luo Ya said in a good mood, "This time, it can truly be considered the beginning of our career as Fiends!"

Soon, after leaving the restaurant, the three of them went directly to the Fiend Castle.

When Milia asked what kind of mission Luo Ya intended to choose, Luo Ya said without hesitation, "A mission that can leave Liang'an Prefecture!"

"Since we are going to venture into Hell, how can we stay in a tiny Liang'an Prefecture forever?"

Thus, the three of them arrived at the second floor of the Fiend Castle.

In this Fiend Castle, one-star to three-star Fiends accept missions on the second floor, while four-star to six-star Fiends accept missions on the third floor. As for the fourth floor, it is a place exclusively for seven-star Fiends to accept missions.

After Luo Ya stated his requirements, the receptionist at the Fiend Castle quickly replied, "Then it would be an escort mission. There are eight types that involve leaving Liang'an Prefecture and are also at the two-star level."

One-star Fiends like the three of them could only accept up to two-star missions.

"Let's go with this one." Luo Ya directly chose the one with the longest escort distance among them.

Milia leaned in to take a look and was slightly surprised: "To Liulan Prefecture at the southernmost tip of the Bifu Continent? A distance of over eight billion li, that's really far enough."

"It's only interesting if it's far." Luo Ya replied with a smile, not caring at all.

The receptionist, upon hearing this, only shook his head inwardly.

The missions issued by the Fiend Castle are not that simple or easy. Just like this mission, based on his experience, he could see at a glance that it was abnormal; there must be some tricks involved.

However, he didn't know the three of them, so naturally, he wouldn't take the initiative to warn them.

The morning, seven days later.

A hazy chill still drifted above House City, and the purple moon was still faintly visible in the sky. Of course, the "curfew" had already passed by this time, yet Luo Ya and the other two had risen early and set off directly for the city gates of House City.

"The three of you, please follow me." They were soon received by a middle-aged man in blue robes and boarded an extremely luxurious, large metal lifeform.

"So many people." After a rough glance, Luo Ya discovered the presence of no fewer than five hundred Fiends.

Although the majority were only Midgod Fiends, there were also nearly thirty Highgod Fiends participating in this mission.

"He actually took this mission too." Luo Ya's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he looked with some surprise toward the front cabin of the metal lifeform. There, a group of people was crowding around a black-robed figure carrying a pet cat.

"Lord Aliquin, with you accompanying us this time, my brother and I feel much more at ease." The ones flattering Aliquin were two Minotaur Highgods who looked quite honest and simple.

"Coradi, you two should know my habits." Aliquin put on a very graceful appearance, but the arrogance deep in his bones could not be hidden no matter how he tried.

"Haha, don't worry, Lord Aliquin, I understand. The journey for this mission is a bit long; if we encounter any blind little characters on the way, my brother and I can handle them..." The Minotaur Coradi clearly wasn't dealing with Aliquin for the first time and knew what Aliquin's so-called habits were, yet he had no objections to them.

Although this guy seemed a bit difficult to get along with, he certainly possessed the strength. Plus, since this mission appeared truly extraordinary, he naturally didn't mind currying favor with Aliquin beforehand.

Of course, Fiends who acted like Coradi were only a portion of the group; there were also many Fiends who simply disdained to fawn over this Aliquin.

After a while, once everyone had arrived, the employer for this mission appeared—it was a young and beautiful-looking Elven girl.

After the Elven girl, Sherry, came forward to greet everyone, the journey officially began.

In the blink of an eye, the metal lifeform vanished into the horizon with a "whoosh."
