Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 33: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
Chapter 33

"Choose an extraordinary artifact or a skill?"

After considering it, Rosen decided to choose a skill.

Firstly, although the doll pendant can enhance the five senses to the extreme, its own grade is only a Sequence 9 Extraordinary Item. When it reaches Sequence 8, the effect of using this doll pendant will be greatly reduced.

However, by converting hunting abilities into skill crystals, the resulting hunter skills will have strong growth potential.

So he needs to find some Sequence 8 Shadowcats, then kill them and gamble on the random conversion of his hunting ability.

But this time he definitely can't just wait around, because Shadow Cats not only live in groups but also call for support. He has to take the initiative to hunt down Shadow Cats without getting stuck in a situation where he can't get out because of Sequence 7s again.

However, taking the initiative means that the secret study's biggest security advantage is gone.

If they were to encounter a Sequence 7 Shadowcat, their lives would likely be in danger.

After a moment's hesitation, Rosen left the mysterious study.

He then crushed a spell card and drifted away, instantly enveloping him in a psychic shield that carried him to the nearest city.

However, there are no cities in the Spirit Realm, and Rosen is separated from the nearest Blackrock Harbor by a world barrier.

So the aura barrier surrounding him collided directly with the world barrier and collapsed. Rosen fell from the sky into the sea about five thousand meters from the shore. Sure enough, although drifting could not take him away from the Spirit Realm, it could take him to the boundary barrier of the Spirit Realm.

With a little caution, he can escape even a Sequence 7 opponent by immediately using Drift when in danger.

But on second thought, Rosen realized that relying on rafting was not safe enough.

Activating the drifting card also takes time, and the psychic barrier that carries him into the air also needs time to accelerate his ascent. Sequence 8 cannot intercept him, but the Shadowcat Hunter of Sequence 7 might be able to destroy the psychic barrier formed by the drifting before he leaves.

It's just a skill crystal, is it really necessary to take this risk?
"Perhaps we can do it this way!"

After careful consideration, Rosen came up with an idea.

The Shadow Cat in this spirit realm has a Sequence 7, but it's impossible for two Sequence 7s to exist.

He chose to board the Black Shark in Blackstone Harbor, so naturally he had already gathered some information about the Black Shark beforehand.

The Black Shark has a Sequence 8 and a Sequence 7. The Sequence 8 is Captain Black Shark, the pirate captain sequence from the Knight sequence branch. His mount is the Black Shark. Originally, Captain Black Shark should have been Sequence 7, but he was injured in his early years and fell to Sequence 8.

Of course, the strength of the pirate captains is concentrated on the pirate ship, so the Black Shark captain's strength is not greatly affected.

As for the other Sequence 7 combatant, it is the Criminal Hunter, a branch of the Hunter profession.

Criminal Hunter and Criminal Hunter are two hunter sequences that are enemies of each other.

The former specializes in arresting criminals, while the latter specializes in committing crimes and becoming a criminal.

This time, when Rosen came to the Dead Forest Secret Realm aboard the Black Shark, he met Captain Black Shark but did not see the notorious criminal hunter.

The Black Shark Pirates continuously transported passengers to Shadow Cats, providing them with hosts for parasitism. Clearly, they planned to keep Shadow Cats captive and hunt them for profit.

Therefore, the Black Shark Pirate Crew must keep the Shadow Cat's strength in the Death Forest under their control. If there is only one Sequence 7 Shadow Cat, the Black Shark Pirate Crew can deal with it. But if there are two, wouldn't the Black Shark Pirate Crew be raising a tiger that will eventually become a threat?

Therefore, there should only be one Sequence 7 Shadow Cat in the entire Spirit Realm. Once that one is lured away, the other Shadow Cats will be no threat. Thus, as long as he prepares to lure the enemy away, Lawson is confident that he can take the initiative to hunt down the other Shadow Cats.

Rosen swam to the shore and entered the mysterious study, where he began to draw a self-portrait in front of the mirror.

With three points of spirituality, plus a large amount of spiritual energy injected, his self-portrait was so realistic that it could be mistaken for the real thing for a short time. As long as he prepared more self-portraits, he was confident that he could attract the Shadow Cat of Sequence 7 in a short period of time.

This way, he can seize the opportunity to calmly hunt down those Sequence 8 Shadow Cats.

Rosen spent three days painting five self-portraits. These self-portraits were extremely in harmony with his spirituality, so even though these self-portraits were far away from him, he could see the surrounding scene through himself in the self-portraits.

It seems that even the most basic Sequence 9 of the Painter Sequence still has many interesting tricks to explore.

Rosen was now even more certain that he lacked systematic learning. It seemed that he could rely on skill crystals to learn skills, but he needed to find a professional to teach him the basic knowledge of the Painter and Hunter sequences.

Money makes the world go round; if you want to find yourself a teacher, anything is possible as long as you have spiritual insights.

Rosen removed the Source Essence Hunting Belt and then re-fastened it around his waist.

The skill level that was originally intended to boost Death Strike is now being used on Shadowmeld, raising Shadowmeld from LV1 to LV2.

[Shadow Cloak LV2: Allows you to instantly merge into the surrounding shadows and move at high speed within them, teleporting twice within the shadows. Damage taken while in the shadows is greatly reduced, and damage dealt will be inflicted with a certain amount of shadow attribute damage.]

【Trait: Stealth - Greatly enhances one's ability to hide】

Rosen drew the curtains and disappeared into the shadows, pacing back and forth in the mysterious study.

Originally, his speed increased by 100% in the shadows, but now the increase has increased to 110%. The increase is not much, but the number of teleports has increased to two. However, the most crucial feature is the stealth property. Now, when he walks in the shadows, even the sound of his footsteps and breathing is hidden by the shadows.

Rosen opened the window with satisfaction and jumped out, leaving five self-portraits scattered along the shadows of the shore.

Then speed up and go around from one side of the island to the other side.

Once the self-portrait is activated and the Shadow Cat of Sequence 7 is lured away, even if the Shadow Cat realizes that it has been tricked, it will still take a lot of time to cross the island. With the help of the spell card drifting, its safety can be guaranteed.

Rosen spent five days circling the entire shoreline back to the area near the entrance to the Spirit Realm.

Along the way, he discovered extraordinary creatures in the sea.

Because he did not find any extraordinary creatures in the sea near the entrance to the Spirit Realm, he once thought that there were no extraordinary creatures in the Spirit Realm Sea. Otherwise, he would not have swum back to the shore after being stuck at the world boundary using drifting.

Therefore, there is only one truth: the Black Shark Pirates have wiped out all the extraordinary sea creatures near the entrance.

They were even unwilling to expend their spiritual energy to revive the extraordinary creatures near the entrance when they killed their way to the Spirit Realm. As for why the Black Shark Pirates did not hunt more extraordinary creatures along the island, it was simply because they did not want to exhaust the resources of the island.

However, this actually benefited Rosen, as he reaped quite a harvest from hunting extraordinary creatures along the way.

Overall, including the extraordinary creatures he hunted in the dense forest, his extraordinary resources are worth more than 40,000 units of spiritual crystals. Even for a Sequence 8, this is a fortune that would take a long time to accumulate.
