Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 78 Sequence 8 Painter
Chapter 77

In the mysterious study, Rosen focused his mind and used his extraordinary source energy from his painter sequence to communicate with the spirit world.

Unlike the Hunter sequence, which requires taking potions and is wary of potential sequence backlash, the Painter sequence, being a human civilization sequence, can communicate with the ancient tree of the Artist sequence in the spirit world at any time to undergo transformation, as long as their spirituality meets the required standard.

Rosen saw the ancient golden tree rooted deep in the spirit world again, and golden light instantly enveloped him.

Then a golden leaf fell directly from the spirit realm into his divine domain, eventually merging into the ancient tree sequence formed from his spiritual essence. From the ancient tree, a unique divine brush, imbued with his extraordinary painterly qualities, continuously flowed into it.

Finally, a portion of his power was incorporated into several of his extraordinary skills.

Although the process did not fundamentally change his spirituality again, it did significantly enhance the strength of his spirituality.

Rosen carefully sensed the changes in his extraordinary source essence; all three of his innate skills had been upgraded to LV2.

[Spiritual Attachment LV2: Able to freely attach spiritual power to physical matter using extraordinary source matter]

【Characteristic: Harmony – Ability to temporarily harmonize spirituality into any attribute】

Ordinary spirituality has no attributes, but spirituality can also possess attributes.

If you're going to paint a night scene, then dark, spiritual elements are definitely more suitable for creating spiritual artwork.

Once this characteristic is grasped, the painter's spirituality can be like a palette, directly using their own spirituality to fuse with spiritual crystals that possess attributes, and then harmonizing the two spiritualities to generate spiritualities with different attributes for painting.

In Rosen’s view, this is not the best characteristic, but it is definitely an essential characteristic for every painter sooner or later.

[Mind Canvas LV2: The painter can use their eyes and spiritual perception as a medium to project everything they see into their own spirituality and consciousness, and at the same time, they can paint within their own spirituality and consciousness.]

[Characteristic: Projection - Ability to project the contents of the mind's canvas onto reality]

Rosen was not at all surprised by the changes in his mental canvas.

Because all controllers of the Mind Canvas gain this characteristic at LV2, and if combined with the rendering characteristic, the content of the Mind Canvas can be directly and realistically materialized in reality.

Rosen continued to look at the LV2 Divine Stroke, an innate skill that had not developed any special characteristics.

Because the core of the Divine Brush is not itself, but the Divine Brush that has evolved to LV2 by fusing with extraordinary source matter.

[The Magic Brush: A Divine Wonder]

[Level: Sequence 8]

[Attributes: Greatly enhances the attributes of spiritual paintings, greatly increases painting speed, can be freely transformed into any paintbrush, slightly enhances the effects of spiritual pigments, and everything painted within the divine realm will exist permanently.]

[Divine Skill: Drawing a Circle as a Prison - Using a divine brush to define an area, everything within that area is considered to fall into the painting]

[Feature: Rendering - Your magic pen will have rendering capabilities]

"The rendering was produced ahead of schedule?"

Rosen gasped. This was no coincidence; it was a characteristic of the magic pen that had been created specifically for him.

The characteristics that arise from the enhancement of extraordinary skills are basically seven parts coincidence and three parts fit.

But a stroke of genius could transform a three-part harmony into a perfect one, shaping the painterly characteristics he needed most.

Now that he has projection and rendering, he can gain considerable combat ability at Sequence 8 in the Painter Sequence. Rosen looked expectantly at the innate extraordinary ability of Sequence 8. It should be noted that the strength of innate ability is closely related to the foundation laid in the previous sequence. He had created three innate skills in the previous sequence, so he would definitely gain a very strong innate ability.

[Master of Light and Shadow: Your spirituality possesses a Sequence 4 level talent in light and shadow.]

"???"

Rosen stared at the newborn's innate ability for a long time before he could figure out what kind of ability it was.

Everyone who paints knows how important light and shadow are to a painting.

Good lighting and shadow can greatly enhance the three-dimensionality, atmosphere, and depth of a painting.

In the world of spiritual paintings, simply put, it's about realism.

Master of Light and Shadow is a passive innate ability that will max out Rosen's talent in painting skills related to light and shadow, greatly enhance his spirituality and resistance to light and dark attribute damage, and finally passively strengthen all skills related to light and shadow.

With a thought, Rosen activated Shadow Cloak, then turned on all the light sources in the mysterious study and stood under the lights.

Even under the lights, he couldn't see himself standing in front of the mirror.

Rosen's Mind Canvas had been used to create countless paintings to enhance spirituality, including various weapons. At this moment, a flashbang painted on the Mind Canvas was projected into his eyes in an instant, and then rendered and materialized by the divine brush.

After hesitating for a moment, he didn't close his eyes and detonated the flashbang right in front of him.

The entire mysterious study was filled with intense light, yet Rosen's eyes remained unaffected. This was because his eyes were enveloped in spiritual energy, and his spirituality resonated with the light and shadow of Sequence 4, so light and darkness below Sequence 4 could not interfere with his vision.

Although this is only a passive, innate ability, it enhances his strength in all aspects.

Rosen now truly understood why the skill "Divine Stroke" could even create an invincible demigod within the Painter sequence.

Because each sequence of the Divine Stroke can generate new innate skills, this means that the foundation of the current sequence becomes deeper. When the next sequence comes, the ancient tree of the sequence will bestow even stronger innate skills due to the solid foundation of the previous sequence.

Ultimately, like a snowball rolling downhill, the foundation becomes thicker and thicker, and the innate abilities mastered become stronger and stronger.

Rosen continued his research into the Master of Light and Shadow, discovering that the effects of this passive ability went beyond that.

The Master of Light and Shadow also affects the Mind Canvas, enhancing both projection and rendering properties.

It also affects his Nen abilities. His spiritual Nen now has light and shadow attributes. The light attribute enhances the damage and recovery capabilities of his Nen, while the shadow attribute grants his spiritual Nen a stronger ability to conceal itself.

Rosen stood by the window, looking out. After carefully sensing the surroundings, he grabbed the Nightmare Slime from his shoulder and threw it out the window.

He had originally planned to hide in the mysterious study to avoid the duel between the progenitor of the gray ratmen and the Grand Duke of Blazing Shadow, but now he felt that he was fully capable of taking advantage of the situation and that he was confident he could protect himself below Sequence 6.

Nightmare Slime received instructions from Rosen and disappeared into the shadows after leaving the mysterious study.

Rosen stood by the window for a full half hour before noticing that gray ratmen were appearing one after another in the vicinity.

These gray rat-men ran around searching frantically, but couldn't find anything, so they paced around anxiously.

Finally, some Sequence 7 gray ratman leaders arrived and began indiscriminate area attacks on the surrounding area.

Nightmare Slime was forced to dodge the damage by leaping and bounding in the shadows. Finally, seeing that it still couldn't find the target the progenitor was looking for, the Gray Rat Leader stopped attacking and began to slaughter the ordinary Gray Ratmen.
