Chapter 97: [Godslayer] – Soren!
Soren is full!
In fact, he has never felt this kind of sensation of being full while activating the Slayer transformation. This feeling did not come from killing the Vampire Son, but from the sense of satisfaction after eliminating the Aberrant Demon. It seemed that at the moment he decapitated the Aberrant Demon with the Holy Avenger, the [Killing Hunger] that had been troubling him vanished completely.
He didn’t know why!
Soren had no clues about this; he could only see a row of data displayed before him:
“Killed Aberrant Demon!”
“Extracted target’s soul energy! … You gained 35,000 killing experience! …”
“Unknown mutation! …”
“Extracted unknown energy! … Divine power conversion! … Slayer transformation underwent unknown mutation! … Slayer transformation underwent special changes! … Deity power conversion completed! … Partial demon characteristics converted! …”
…
It was just a series of nonsensical data prompts.
The killing experience from the Aberrant Demon wasn’t much; perhaps it was because its true body still existed in the Bottomless Abyss. Many summoned beings do not truly die under such circumstances, such as Greater Demons and Elemental Life. They possess their own forms, but what truly affects them are soul characteristics—something Soren still could not figure out.
Souls are very mysterious!
When a Greater Demon dies after being summoned, it would certainly be affected to some extent, yet they rarely truly die because of that.
Otherwise, the corpses of summoned beings wouldn’t disappear as energy forms.
Soren had a lot of data before him:
“Killed target!”
“You successfully killed the [Vampire God] – Reinhardt! … The target is in Saint form! … Extracted target’s divine power! …”
“You gained 9 divine points!”
“The target possesses divine abilities! … absorbed the target’s dissipated divine power! … extracted target’s divinity! …”
“You gained 5 divinity points!”
…
This was the first row of data that appeared, but it was just the beginning.
There were some other data that Soren could hardly understand, but he could clearly feel that he seemed to merge with some kind of power:
“Successfully killed a deity!”
“You successfully killed the weak divine power of the [Vampire God] – Reinhardt! … You gained the legendary background specialty of [Godslayer] – Soren! …”
“Your existence begins to enter the sight of the gods! …”
…
“[Godslayer] – Soren [Legendary Background Specialty]: The moment you successfully slay a god, your existence begins to draw attention from many powerful beings within the multiverse. Whether from the gods of the Celestial Realm, the demons of the Abyss, the devils of Hell, or the evil gods in dark corners, they all begin to divert some of their attention to you. This is a display of power, and a special challenge; among the gods, some may intend to test whether you are qualified to join them. Others may want to eliminate rule-challengers.
But in any case, your name is undoubtedly spread to many places within the multiverse.
Legendary degree +50, Intimidation +100, Negotiation +50! All your saving throws will gain an additional +1 Godslay bonus!”
…
This Soren could understand.
After killing the Vampire Son, he obtained a legendary background specialty, which was similar to ‘Goddess of Misfortune’s Blessing,’ but its effect seemed to be stronger.
Unfortunately.
The main increases were not abilities that directly impact combat; 50 points of legendary degree are a bit frightening, and an Intimidation boost of +100 directly. Soren estimated he could scare many people half to death.
As for the increase in negotiation ability, it should be the influence of the Godslayer identity bringing about authority.
The most important part is still the +1 Godslay bonus. Soren’s formidable saving throw resistance accumulated bit by bit like this. He was very aware of how crucial these fundamental things are in cutting-edge battles.
Then came other data prompts:
“Killed target!”
“The target possesses the [Vampire] divinity! … Divine field extraction failed! … You cannot absorb any power from this divinity! …”
…
“The target possesses the [Hunting] domain! … Hunting domain extraction successful! … You obtained partial information regarding the Hunting domain! …”
“Divine power conversion! …”
“Hunting domain information converted to Killing domain information! … You gained a weak understanding of the Killing domain! …”
…
“The target possesses the [Fear] domain! … Fear domain extraction successful! … You obtained partial information regarding the Fear domain! …”
“Divine power conversion! …”
“Ability enhancement! …”
“Your abilities derived from partial fear divinity gained enhancements! … You obtained a weak Fear domain comprehension! …”
…
This is the initial data display.
However, there were still some other data displays that slightly confused Soren:
“The target possesses unabsorbed [Half-Elf] divinity power! … Current divinity compatibility is 85%! … Divine field extraction successful! … You obtained partial information regarding the [Half-Elf] divinity! …”
“The target possesses unabsorbed [Wanderer] divinity power! … Current divinity compatibility is 91%! … Divine field extraction successful! … You obtained partial information regarding the [Wanderer] divinity! …”
Two prompts of information.
Then nothing else!
Earlier, Soren had absorbed only divine domains. Yet he experienced very clear enhancements! However, now he successfully extracted divine professions, but apart from those two pieces of information, there was nothing else.
Soren didn’t understand!
He felt like he had developed some special sensory ability, but for some reason, there were no data prompts at all.
Not a single one.
It was as if the information about these two divine professions merely flickered by. Then there was nothing more.
Soren was puzzled, completely puzzled.
But.
At this moment, he couldn’t delve deeper. He could only set it aside for now.
…
The corpse of the Vampire Son began to rapidly dissipate after death; the body in Saint form is quite special, not like a mortal body of flesh and blood. After the Vampire Son’s body dissipated, a special ring was left behind. There was nothing else. The ring had a very ancient style, engraved with the emblem of a blood-sucking bat. Soren trembled the instant he touched it, then discreetly stored it away.
An artifact!
Although he hadn’t examined it closely, the moment he touched it, the feeling it gave him was somewhat similar to pulling out the Holy Avenger.
Step, step, step.
Soren slowly approached the Paladins before him. There was no trace of reluctance on his face; he directly threw the Holy Avenger over, saying in a deep voice, “Take it!”
He couldn’t keep this sword.
No matter how powerful it was, he couldn’t take it unless he intended to oppose all the Paladins of the world.
However.
Soren also played a small trick; he didn’t return the Holy Avenger to the Warden or the first Paladin who held it, but threw it directly to the young Paladin he had seen in the City of Wealth.
Clang!
The young Paladin had a bewildered expression; his tattered silver armor was covered in scars, and blood stained his cloak. When Soren threw the Holy Avenger, he instinctively reached out to catch it, and all other eyes fell upon him.
He was heavily injured, yet he stood straight!
Unlike Soren holding the Holy Avenger, the moment the artifact fell into his hands, it immediately emitted a brilliant sacred light.
The young Paladin still looked bewildered and directed his gaze towards the Warden beside him.
“You hold onto it for now!”
The Warden’s face was very surprised; he was astonished that Soren would throw the Holy Avenger to him, and also that the Holy Avenger would produce such a strange change after falling into the young man’s hands.
The [Holy Avenger] acknowledged this young man!
Hehe.
Soren’s lips revealed a slight smile as he gently tightened the Anti-Detection Cloak and turned to walk into the darkness.
“Stay true to your convictions! …”
“Youth! … The future world will need your power! …”
This time.
Soren made no effort to conceal himself. His voice made the young Paladin tremble for an instant, and he immediately raised his head to look towards Soren’s receding figure.
However.
At this moment, Soren had gradually blended into the darkness, disappearing from their sight.
Only his words remained in place.
Thought-provoking!
… (To be continued ~^~)
