Corpse Oil Candle
Mystical Item made from the Beyonder Characteristic of the "Iron-Blooded Knight"? The Convergence Law of Beyonder Characteristics really works... The "Fate Hunter's " sensitivity to Destiny must have made a contribution as well... Or, could it be the result of a preordained arrangement? Lumian was initially pleasantly surprised, but then suffered from the aftereffects of the gift.
The "Magician" Lady seemed to sense his thoughts and smiled, saying, "I don't know if this is a gift from Destiny, but even if it is, it's a gift that meets our expectations, and we can certainly accept it."
Lumian nodded silently.
The "The Hanged Man" beside him calmly said, "No need to overcomplicate things, just think clearly about two points:
"First, you have no power to escape the arrangements now. Sometimes, what you perceive as resistance and rebellion may be part of the pre-planned process. And Mr. The Fool's Angel cannot always be by your side to provide protection. Remember, accepting reality is not the same as being cowardly. Being able to accept reality and persist in seeking opportunities within it is a symbol of Courage."
"Second, try to maximize the benefits that Destiny brings and strive to improve yourself. Of course, this does not mean giving up; on the contrary, it will test your wisdom and determination even more. When you sense danger or unusual problems, remember that we will always stand with you. Remember, Mr. The Fool can certainly interfere with That One's arrangements, but you also know that He has not yet awakened and cannot frequently provide you with Protection. This can only be used in critical moments."
Lumian listened attentively and nodded slowly. He had actually thought about these words himself, but hearing them from someone else's mouth gave them a different feel and persuasiveness.
The Hanged Man moment, then added, "The most worrying thing right now is the That One wants to Resurrection the Blood Emperor in your body. You must be extra careful if you encounter a similar situation in the future."
"I will remember that, thank you, Mr. ' The Hanged Man '," Lumian said sincerely.
The "Magician" then steered the conversation back on track:
"You can take out the items you've collected now. I'll check their corresponding abilities and negative effects for you."
Having received the promise and assurance, Lumian then reached into the "Traveler’s Bag" and grasped the hilt of the large Iron-Black Straight Sword.
Suddenly, he felt his inner worries vanish like dark clouds in the sky, blown away by a terrifying Gale.
What's there to fear about the gifts of Destiny?
What's there to fear about Deity arrangements?
"Go to hell!"
"Die, all of you!"
At this moment, Lumian was filled with Courage, feeling that even if the "True Creator" descended before him right now, he would dare to strike him with his Straight Sword!
He drew the black Straight Sword, whose Flames had died down but whose temperature was still scorching hot, and handed it to the "Magician" Lady.
The "Magician" glanced at him, reached out and took it, and said jokingly, "How about calling this ' Sword of Courage '?"
"' The Sword of Courage '..." Lumian paused for a moment.
As the black Straight Sword slipped from his hand and was grasped by the "Magician" Lady, he shuddered violently.
What was I thinking just now?
"They were practically ready to hurl insults at That One person's Honorific Name..."
How could I possibly have the idea that I could kill a god right now?
A wave of lingering fear washed over him, and Lumian turned his gaze to the black Straight Sword in the "Magician's "Lady hand.
Could it be its negative impact?
Could it give someone the Courage to slay a god?
The "Magician" Lady's eyes sparkled as she gazed at the sword for a moment before saying, "This sword can fill its wielder with Courage, preventing them from being defeated by fear or stiffening with dread. If you had been holding this sword just now, even if you were ultimately 'conquered,' you would have been able to hold on for longer."
"It is extremely hard and sharp, capable of blocking direct attacks from Half-God and significantly affecting the defenses of many Half-God. It can even allow you to unleash a ' Harvest ' at the level of an ' Iron-Blooded Knight,' but this will consume a great deal of spiritual energy, surpassing the ability to ' Push Destiny,' which will drain nearly two-thirds of your spiritual energy at once."
"It will also help you absorb the damage, meaning that even if you fail to block the corresponding attack and suffer a fatal wound, it can help you absorb half of the damage, weakening the fatal wound to a serious one."
"Each strike is accompanied by high-temperature Flames, and according to your will, the Flames can spread to the enemy's body through the Library between the weapons of both sides. At the same time, you can also make each strike produce a huge explosion."
"If it is stained with the target's blood, or if the target has been burned by its Flames, you can throw this sword into the sky from five kilometers away. It will be Entanglement Flames, like an activated Cannonball, flying towards the target on its own, locking onto the target, and then crashing down, creating a violent explosion that can destroy everything in an ordinary Square."
"Yes, the maximum range is five kilometers. Also, it won't fly back on its own; you'll need to retrieve it."
"There are two negative impacts. First, excessive Courage is a deadly poison. Human fear and anxiety are one of the key reasons why humans have survived to this day. Those who do not understand fear and anxiety, but only have Courage, will inevitably lose their judgment and analytical abilities and die quickly."
"Secondly, it needs companions. You need to prepare at least thirty ordinary Straight Sword and put them inside to complete the seal. Otherwise, in about fifteen minutes, it will start attacking people around it indiscriminately, including you. Don't think about using the Residual Aura of the ' Blood Emperor ' to avoid or deter it, because this is not because the sword has a living characteristic, but because it is a manifestation of Destructive Divinity."
"It will also continuously emit high temperatures, causing ordinary Straight Sword to gradually melt. Therefore, you need to replenish its companions every once in a while. Similarly, for the wielder, this is a gradually increasing burning damage, while you, as the ' Reaper,' can withstand it for longer."
"That's about it. If you don't mind, you can call it ' Sword of Courage '."
Lumian nodded and asked, "Can the negative effect of being filled with Courage be avoided through the ' Traveler’s Bag '?"
"Okay." The Magician nodded slightly.
Lumian thought for a moment and then said, "In the room where I found this sword, there was only armor, Altar, and two other items. Why didn't it destroy those things?"
"That suit of armor is its companion." The Magician already knew the answer.
Lumian didn't ask any more questions, and began to ponder the use of the "Sword of Courage":
We must wait until we have clearly analyzed the situation and made the appropriate judgment before drawing our swords and charging forward...
This is not the commander's Wands, but the bugle call to charge...
Each use should not exceed 15 minutes...
As Lumian pondered, he reached out and took the "Sword of Courage."
The next second, he felt he didn't need to think so much:
Being afraid of this and that will only lead to failure!
Don't overthink things or hesitate; just do it!
What's there to be afraid of?
The "Magician" Lady reached into the void and produced dozens of Straight Sword of varying designs from who-knows-where, sending them flying toward Lumian on their own.
After placing the "Sword of Courage" into these Straight Sword and putting it back into the "Traveler’s Bag," Lumian instantly regained his senses.
He couldn't help but silently laugh at himself:
"The ' Ascetic ' abilities are useless in this regard..."
Then, he took out the clean, smooth Leather and a semi-solid, pale yellow-red Candle contained in Glass Vial.
The Magician's eyes lit up with a dazzling Stars once again as he took the two items and examined them for over ten seconds.
"This is indeed the Potion Formula of the ' Witch of Despair,' but the Human Skin that carries it comes from an ancient ' Witch of Despair,' and it contains strong, Mysticism Virus, bacteria, and fungi that will cause those who come into contact with it or gaze upon it to gradually contract various diseases. If each contact or examination does not exceed ten seconds, it will recover on its own," the "Magician" Lady explained simply about the pure white Leather.
Her gaze then shifted to the strange Candle at https://www. hetushu. com. com.
"These are Corpse Oil Candle, made from the corpse oil of the ' Iron-Blooded Knight ' and the ' Witch of Despair ' mixed with other ingredients."
Corpse Oil Candle... and the corpse oil of two Half-God... Although Lumian had seen a lot of the world, he still couldn't help but feel that the Candle were somewhat eerie and terrifying.
"What's the use of this?" He felt a strange sensation and was more concerned about this question.
The "Magician" Lady said cautiously, "After lighting it, Ritual should be used in Mysticism and Meditation sessions, but the specific details and ultimate effects are unclear. Hmm, you have the Residual Aura of the ' Blood Emperor,' so perhaps you can try it directly without the Ritual."
Lumian did not hesitate:
Okay, I'll try it now.
With Angel and Saint watching over us, even if something goes wrong, we can be saved. Why not try now, or wait until we're alone again?
The Magician and the Hanged Man did not stop it.
Lumian took the Corpse Oil Candle from the transparent glass jar and sat cross-legged on the deck.
With a snap, he conjured a Blazing White Flames between his fingers, instantly igniting the Black Wick of the Corpse Oil Candle.
Then, he closed his eyes, sketched a pattern, and began to Meditation.
In the tranquil state, a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, making him feel a slight itch in his very bones, as if he were about to Burning.
Lumian did not deliberately suppress the feeling; he simply tried to maintain his Meditation state.
After an unknown amount of time, a mist tinged with a dark black hue suddenly appeared before his "eyes".
He felt as if he were standing in the fog, on the edge of a street whose outline he could barely make out.
Across the street, various low-rise buildings appeared and disappeared, as if only shadows remained.
A Steam train-like object approached from the other end of the street. It had only two sections and no distinctive chimney. Oddly shaped supports extended from its top, connecting it to something in mid-air.
This... A similar scene instantly flashed through Lumian's memory.
He had seen the same scene in Fourth Epoch Trier!
It brought about the emergence of the Second Layer of that Special Mirror World.
