444. Plotting

Although they were ready to take action, neither of the two legends intended to start a direct battle in the city.

Legend has it that life and death are hard to distinguish between them, but ordinary people cannot bear it.

If a fight were to break out in a busy downtown area, thousands or even tens of thousands of ordinary people could be killed or injured.

The consequence of this was that the Chris Empire issued a nationwide manhunt, which ordinary fifth-tier beings simply could not afford.

Therefore, Sulu and Monaghan tacitly went to the outskirts.

"[The Servant of the Crow]... an unfamiliar profession, but... there seems to be something hidden within it."

Sulu stared at Monaghan Kro across from him.

The legendary professional had a solemn expression as he wielded his black Crow Staff.

He could sense that the dark elements around him had suddenly increased.

'Boring... so boring...'

Sulu curled his lip and waved his hand casually.

The Domain of Darkness opened, and the elements within a hundred meters around it seemed as if soldiers had met their general, all submitting to its rule.

That gloomy feeling vanished instantly.

"Mythical Realm? No... a simplified version?" Monaghan's expression turned solemn, knowing that this opponent was not only skilled in dark magic, but also had a far greater understanding of the origins of darkness than he had.

This control over the surrounding elements is almost equivalent to that of the mythological realm.

Under such unfair conditions, when the two sides compete in magic, one side is directly weakened by several times, while the opponent receives an amplification no matter what dark magic they cast!

He was almost defeated before the war even started!

Monaghan gritted his teeth and suddenly uttered a string of characters in Ancient Hebraic:

"As darkness spreads across the sky, the feathers of Dark Crow will cover the world, and from the bones and death, the decay and rot, the most magnificent flowers will bloom..."

He recited the incantation with intonation, as if he were reciting a poem.

But to Sulu's ears, it sounded very different.

His Inspiration was deeply touched.

In Sulu's eyes, the sky suddenly turned dark, and black Crow feathers drifted down.

He saw the earth decaying, people and animals dying, and a large number of white bones appearing.

And atop the skeleton, vibrant flowers are blooming one after another...

At a critical moment.

At the very center of his brow, a deep purple Solar Corona crown, somewhere between reality and illusion, appeared, its surrounding flame patterns seemingly trembling continuously.

"Illusion?"

Sulu's eyes regained their clarity as he stared at Monaghan before him. "So your profession isn't just about using dark magic, but also about casting illusions?"

Thinking back on everything he had seen, some guesses immediately formed in his mind.

This Crow Family is no ordinary family; his career path as the [Servant of the Crow] allowed him to sense the presence of the gods.

"I lost..." Monaghan gave a bitter smile. His illusion had been broken, and his mind had suffered a severe backlash. His face was now deathly pale. "Since I've lost, just tell me what you want."

Legendary professionals rarely fight to the death; instead, they spar with each other, and the winner usually sets conditions for the loser.

"This time, it's entirely the fault of your family's descendants."

Sulu stood with his hands behind his back. "He violated the rules of the Mason Guild by recklessly inquiring into the privacy of his customers and even attempting to attack us, so I killed him."

This could actually have been explained from the beginning, but it certainly wouldn't have been as effective as it is now.

Some people won't listen to you properly unless you beat them into submission.

This statement is even more accurate when placed on the mystical side, because professionals in this field are often highly emotional.

"If that's the case, the Crow Family was impolite first, and we are willing to offer compensation that will satisfy you."

Monaghan took a deep breath.

Even if his family is in the right, losing the battle won't bring them any benefits.

But now that Sulu has said this, he has decided to investigate it thoroughly when he gets back.

"Compensation is unnecessary; he has already paid the price with his life... I only hope that it will never happen again."

Sulu was surrounded by black flames, streaking across the sky like a shooting star.

"Erosion Fire?"

Monaghan stared at the black trail, muttering to himself, "So it's the [Eclipse Mage]? He admitted before that he was a legendary figure in the wilderness? Impossible..."

A fifth-tier professional could never remain unknown.

But that's exactly what happened!

Zorro!

Monaghan memorized the name, and his figure slowly disappeared.

A horse-drawn carriage in the countryside.

Rhode sat in the driver's seat, and the journey continued as normal.

Suddenly, he sensed that there was an extra person in the carriage behind him.

"I'm back, and the matter is resolved."

Sulu opened the window and smiled, "After this, anyone who's interested can do a little investigation and find out that you have a fifth-tier professional behind you. That will make things much easier."

"Your [Planeswalker] class has been exposed?"

Rhode was somewhat worried.

He was well aware of the interest that certain forces were paying attention to such high-level Spirit World professionals.

"No, I am merely an [Eclipse Mage]!"

Sulu smiled broadly.

After this incident is resolved, he will once again leave this world and embark on a new journey.

The appearance of the Federation Guardian, as well as the Chris Empire, have put some pressure on him.

With the resurgence of Spirit Tide intensifying, the emergence of sixth-tier professionals is only a matter of time.

In fact, at their peak, it wasn't impossible for gods to walk on the earth!

I still lack the power to influence the world.

'After returning this time, I will immediately begin a new journey, complete the Spirit Sacrifice ritual, and break through to the sixth rank...'

'And in order to break the gods' shackles, the seventh-tier professions must also begin to plan...'

' Sivinardo's gift will soon come in handy!'

Sulu kept planning in his mind, then looked at the Attribute Panel:

[Domain of Darkness LV1→LV4]

"In that case, the skills and passive abilities required for advancing to the sixth tier will be fulfilled."

He then turned his attention to his own attributes.

As he lost a lot of experience points, his strength slowly increased, eventually settling at 20.0.

"Call..."

Sulu felt his muscles twitch all over, yet also seemed to become even stronger, truly deserving the description of steel and iron. He couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction, "Judging from this rate of increase, spending another 200,000 or so experience points would allow me to push my attributes to the sixth-tier requirement... There's no need to rush that; I can take it slowly. Amplifying too much at once, not to mention whether my body could handle it, even I myself wouldn't be able to accurately control the power..."

"With all of this prepared, all that remains is the Spirit Sacrifice ritual."

He looked out the window at the scenery, his expression seemingly resolute.

Sulu already had a vague premonition.

Once you take the sixth step, there's no turning back.

If he cannot be promoted quickly, he will likely face an extremely terrible blow!
