Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 506: The Seventh Ladder "Lord of Fear"

In a compact and slightly crowded little room in Fisher Manor.

At this time, several members of the Fisher family sat around the table, their faces serious and focused, their eyes revealing an unspoken sense of urgency. The air in the room was filled with a subtle sense of tension, as if even breathing had become cautious.

The head of the White Fisher family, Christine, sat in a wheelchair, with her hands folded on the table, her eyes sharp as she scanned everyone present one by one.

Next to him, Felix had a stern face and a frown on his brow. From time to time, he tapped the table lightly with his fingers, making a low and rhythmic sound.

Although he is from Darren's lineage, he often comes to Nasir City. His eyes reveal firmness and determination, and it seems that he is brewing some important decision.

Sitting opposite him was a young man, Archil, the High Priest of the Order of Dawn, whose eyes were also filled with a determination that could not be ignored.

His hands were clasped together on his knees, and he was obviously thinking nervously about the topic to be discussed.

There were several documents on the table, and the edges of the papers were slightly curled due to frequent reading.

Christine thought for a moment, picked up the document and looked at it, and suddenly said: "Recently, too many things have happened around Siat. Now it's not just the Loen people who regard us as a thorn in their side. Almost all forces are interested in us."

"Some people fear us and want to get rid of us, while others are greedy for power and want to obtain it... Of course, there are also people who choose to convert to the Lord of the Lost, but most of them do not do so out of true faith, but because of the temptation of Sequence Power. However, it is not a bad thing. In any case, we need to become stronger."

Felix nodded, and then asked: "The power of the Dawn Cult is expanding, so how many people can we give sequence power to?"

Christine quickly gave an answer and said, "In fact, it is impossible to give everyone sequence power, because the number of magic beasts is limited, and therefore the number of extraordinary materials is also limited..."

"The main reason is that after we severed diplomatic relations with the Loen people, we were greatly restricted in the diversity of extraordinary materials and high-level materials. In the past, as long as we wanted to trade with the Loen people, we could get as much as we wanted. Now, some materials cannot be traded even if we have money, and they are not available in the eastern part of the Oden Continent."

She paused and continued, "We definitely cannot satisfy the appetite of everyone who covets the power of the sequence."

Aqir suddenly said: "As long as we don't tell anyone, who will know?"

"Next, more and more people who crave power will come to Siat and become members of the Dawn Cult, and those people will become our strength."

Christine nodded and said, "More and more people have been entering the country recently. There are even three monarch-level transcendents who have come to visit us. Of course, there are also spies from other forces. All kinds of people with bad intentions have come to visit us."

"Fortunately, our listeners were able to catch those guys. They can hear the inner voices of hostile people around them."

Aqir smiled and said, "Two of the three monarch-level transcendents are considering whether to join the Dawn Cult... I believe I can influence them."

"Because they all desire more powerful power."

After demonstrating the existence of the great Lord of the Lost, Archer reached the fifth step easily.

The fifth step on the path of divine sacrifice is "ascetic".

The image of an "ascetic" in the spiritual world is an old man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and an extremely pious look on his face.

The ritual that the extraordinary people who want to reach the level of "ascetic" need to complete is "long-term piety", which is a relatively stable ritual that requires time. However, maintaining "piety" is a simple and difficult thing...

It can only be said that those who are not pious will never reach the fifth step on the road of divine sacrifice.

The ratio of improvement of the ascetic's physical fitness and spiritual strength is 4:6.

The extraordinary powers that each "ascetic" can obtain are different, and they will receive completely different "ascetic blessings" based on their own experiences.

The "blessing of penance" that Archil received is the "key to the soul".

As long as he gets a person's name, he can send his thoughts to that person anytime and anywhere, and he can also hear the other person's words. As long as the other person responds, Aqir can instantly locate the other person's position. The above effects can take effect no matter where the other person is, even if the other person is not in the current world. Moreover, the spiritual power required to "transmit the key of the heart" is also very small.

Although this ability has little combat power, it is very useful.

When Archer preached to many believers, he could speak to hundreds of people in his heart at the same time. Even after they left and returned home, they could still hear his whispers, and when they were confused, they could communicate with Archer through their minds.

Now he can even communicate directly with those Apocalypses... as long as he knows their names.

However, the voices of the Revelations could not be transmitted. Obviously, that meant that the legendary Revelations possessed extraordinary power even if they were just their voices.

Over the years, Darren and others have also reached higher levels.

The seventh step of the Road of Shadows is "Lord of Fear". The ritual that needs to be completed to reach this step is to spread enough fear and then shape one's name into an "evil and terrifying symbol", such as "Demon of Syat".

The improvement ratio of the physical fitness and spiritual strength of the "Lord of Fear" is three and seven.

Its appearance in the spiritual world is a shadowy humanoid figure with an ever-changing appearance.

The "Lord of Fear" possesses two extraordinary powers, namely the "Aura of Fear" as a means of control, and the more peculiar "Incarnation of Fear".

"Fear Aura" is a passive transcendental trait that does not consume spiritual power when activated.

Anyone who sees the "Lord of Fear" needs to use his will to fight against it. If the person has weak willpower, he will fall into a state of shock and fear.

"Fear Incarnate" is a more interesting ability, which also needs to be seen to be triggered, and also requires a large amount of spiritual power.

It can transform into the image that the witness fears most in his heart!
It can be said to be a special ability of a relatively random nature. After use, it may become very strong or very weak. Of course, the basic strength will also be adjusted according to one's own strength.

If the thing that the witness fears deep in his heart is just a mouse, then after the "Fear Incarnation" ability is activated, the extraordinary person will turn into a mouse. Of course, he will become weaker than before, but he will not be as weak as a real mouse. It's just that his physical fitness will be much weaker than usual.

However, some witnesses had deep-seated fears that were indescribable, of extremely powerful beings, even of beings as high as otherworldly gods.

A transcendent being who becomes such a powerful being through the "incarnation of fear" will naturally become much more powerful, and it is possible that his power may even be several times stronger than before!
However, it is impossible to become as powerful as the original body by using this method, and it is impossible to truly possess the monster powers commonly seen in nightmares such as invincibility or immortality.

There is no doubt that "Fear Incarnate" is a very random and crazy ability... Darren was very excited when he obtained it. He experimented secretly many times, and each time he turned into a completely different incarnation of fear.

As for the level of bloodline power, Darren has finally reached the middle monarch level, so now he has almost no rivals below Apocalypse.

His son Felix reached the sixth level as the "Restorer", while his daughter Helen also completed the ritual to "leave enough fame", and had reached the fifth level as the "Legendary Poet". She had even fully mastered the power of the fifth level "Legendary Poet", but had not completed the ritual and had not yet reached the sixth level.

"Legendary Poet" is the sixth step on the path to enchantment, with a nine-to-one increase in spiritual power and physical fitness.

Its image is a female poet walking in the wilderness.

The "Legendary Poet" can obtain an extraordinary trait "Legendary Name", and three spells namely "Fire Poem", "Healing Poem" and "Exile Poem".

The power effects of "Fire Poem" and "Healing Poem" can be seen from their names, while "Exile Poem" is a spell specifically targeting the existence of other worlds. It can defeat the strong with the weak and send certain demons and monsters back to their hometowns. It is a restraining spell with little versatility.

As for the "Name of Legend", it is a strange large-scale domain ability. If there are enough people in the current area who have heard of the name of "Legendary Poet", then all "Poetry Spells" will become more effective and consume less spiritual power.

Fortunately, Helen herself was gifted enough, and within a few decades, she successfully became a famous painter in Syat, and her name was even widely known in the art circles of the other three Eastern countries.
