A Guess
The moonlight was as clear as water.
Sulu removed the ' Crow Mask ' and gazed at his reflection in the lake.
On the lake was a pale-faced young man with regular features, not handsome, just very ordinary.
"Having worn a mask for so long... I've almost forgotten what I really look like."
He gave a wry smile and stared at the Attribute Panel.
"My condition is normal, there's no Soul Burning or anything like that. Is it because I only activated it for a short time? Or has my body gradually adapted? It's a pity that I won't be able to use the Evil Spirit Knight Card until I reach Tier 5, so adapting now is useless..."
Sulu recalled the darkness in Bukadi's memory, and that hissing sound, and felt a chill run down his spine.
Checking the Attribute Panel is to prevent yourself from being secretly scammed without your knowledge.
"Now it seems... that hissing sound wasn't from the real Ancient Great Serpent, perhaps just its offspring. And the terror in the darkness didn't truly reveal itself, otherwise even with the Evil Spirit Possession activated, I wouldn't have been able to escape..."
At that time, if it weren't for Evil Spirit Knight, that high-level Curio that could fight against terror, he might have really been defeated.
"Speaking of which, Bukadi even said he'd done some divination, which was supposed to be the best way to deal with me? It seems... he didn't foresee my trump card..."
The Sealing Card is Curio that can only be crafted by a [Planeswalker], making it a very high-ranking item.
In this world, such high-level items will inevitably interfere with certain methods of divination, astrology, and prophecy.
Especially when ' Evil Spirit Possession ' was activated, even the strange phenomena caused by the snake's hissing were suppressed.
"It's a pity... it can't be used anymore. [Planeswalker] lost a trump card, but in exchange for the [Dream Master] class information, it's still worth it."
Sulu stared at another part of the Attribute Panel:
[Tier 5 Job Information - Planeswalker!... Job information analysis in progress, current progress...]
The progress bar, which had been stuck there, finally started to slowly move forward again.
"As expected, the [Planeswalker] inheritance had been stalled because it lacked crucial information: the [Dream Master]! Once that's complete, the progress will reach 100% in no time! My Path of Legend depends on it..."
With a mere thought, Sulu immediately received a wealth of information.
Legendary level, Tier 5 professional!
In the Mystic World, it represents a qualitative change, a sublimation.
Its advancement requires extremely complex rituals and assistance, as well as numerous requirements.
As more information surfaced, a strange look appeared on Sulu's expression:
"[Planeswalker], also known as [Dimensional Mage] or [Void Mage]! They are the darlings of the void, dimensional travelers, capable of traversing the Spirit World, wielding wondrous magical abilities, and even... using the Spirit World as a transit point to travel to different worlds!"
"A crucial prerequisite ritual for advancing to the [Planeswalker] level requires a Curio imbued with the aura of another world. This artifact must be stripped of its otherworldly essence and completely integrated into one's own soul to complete the transformation?"
"This... I seem to have completed it? My soul was never from this world to begin with, so it must carry the aura of another world..."
This ritual is the most important and also the most difficult one in the [Planeswalker] advancement, as it involves a transformation at the level of the soul.
But for Sulu, it was not difficult at all!
"Indeed... this profession is perfect for me!"
He checked the Attribute Panel for a long time, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he feel relieved.
After all, we almost came into contact with a god!
Although it may only be a projection of the opponent's power, the resulting pollution could be extremely deadly!
"I wonder what will happen to Bukadi... Hmm, he's Believers of the Great Serpent, so he probably won't die. He might even receive some 'gifts,' gaining strange and terrifying abilities... But his mind and body will be completely mutated, though he doesn't seem to care... As expected, the people of the Ancient Serpent Society are all madmen."
Before Sulu returned to the ruins of the Ancient Mansion, he suddenly froze, his expression complex.
"In my memory... during Twilight of the Gods, this body's father, Tonks, rashly initiated the ' Gaze into the Abyss ' ritual, attempting to advance to become a professional. He failed, and the location was right here. The consequences of his failure were a great fire and the disappearance of his mother..."
"Although Tonks moved away afterward, the original Sulu never forgave her father and chose to leave home and go to study on the other side of the Federation."
He stared at the ruins, motionless for a long time, then suddenly smiled bitterly, "I really... am not Sulu!"
If it were the original owner of the body, it might have already stirred up strong emotions at this point.
At this moment, he only perceived these things through his memories, and was in a strange state of being both integrated and detached.
'It's like watching a movie in a past life; you'll definitely feel involved, but it's practically impossible to get emotionally overwhelmed because of it...'
Even so, Sulu still took off his hat in greeting and stood silently for a long time.
As the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, he finally snapped out of his reverie, "It's time to go... I don't need to pretend to be anyone else here, I can just be Sulu Potter. I need to find Rhode."
That guy supposedly met an old Witch Hunter from the Goddess Church and is learning from him.
By now, he's probably been promoted, right?
I just don't know where they've gone.
Given the habits of Witch Hunter, they can survive for months in the deep mountains and forests, so there's no need to worry about their safety for the time being.
"There are still some things that need to be confirmed... For example, did Tonks really go to the Abyss, and how did he get there?"
If Sulu was initially skeptical of what Rhode relayed, now she is filled with doubt.
After all, a ' Gaze into the Abyss ' ritual for advancing to the next level is absolutely insufficient to communicate with the true ' Abyss ' and open the body's passage!
"That involves extremely profound knowledge of the Spirit World, requiring immense power to instantly traverse the realms of Phantom Spirit, mind, and Dream Spirit World, and perhaps even more... Even I can't do that now!"
Sulu's expression was grave. "If Tonks really went to the Abyss, there are only two possibilities. First... his prayers somehow communicated with Demon, a real Demon!"
Such an existence could naturally send a person to the Abyss at will.
Furthermore, Demon are notoriously chaotic and Impermanence, and they do anything without reason!
"The second possibility is the legacy of the Portley Family."
As a family of Witch Hunter, with ancestors who included sixth-tier professionals, they couldn't possibly be inferior to the Dougwell Family, could they?
Even Nailin, the patriarch of the Dougwell Family, possesses a storage device!
If their ancestors left behind some powerful Curio, it would be understandable that Tonks used its power to travel to the Abyss.
