Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 83 The Unfortunate Descendant of the True Creator

Adam lowered his eyes when he heard this and said:
"The birth of a new Red Priest is not a bad thing for this era, and giving you this Conqueror trait is the best choice for everyone."

"What if I don't trade this Conqueror trait to Medici?" Rowling asked curiously.

"That's your freedom." Adam paused, looked up at Roland, and said, "At least for you, trading the Conqueror trait to Medici is one way to maximize your profits."

"Haha, that's exactly the answer you would give." Luo Lin laughed and said nothing more.

Of course, Rowling would trade the Conqueror to Medici, but not now. After all, this is a good bargaining chip, and even Rowling has to think about how to maximize the value of this bargaining chip.

But where did this Conqueror trait come from? Could it be the one possessed by the Loen royal family?

Luo Lin was a little curious, but he didn't think much about it. After asking the questions, he didn't stay for long. He then used his ability to travel and brought his puppet Ince Zangwill to the Blackthorn Security Company.

At this moment, inside the Blackthorn Security Company, the boss battle between the Nighthawks and the descendants of the true Creator has been completed more than halfway, and all you can see are battle damage.

The small building that originally belonged to the Blackthorn Security Company was almost reduced to ruins. Megose and the Heir of the Evil God, who should have been able to kill indiscriminately based on their strength, encountered Leonard, who was secretly assisted by his grandfather; Klein, who was holding the advanced Sun Path Talisman and leaning against the Sefirah Castle; and Dunn, who was extremely close to Sequence 6 and had the power of Saint Selina's ashes.

The poor descendant of the evil god had not yet officially arrived, but he had already fully experienced what it meant for his opponents to be all cheaters, and was directly beaten out of the second stage.

The boss in the second stage was obviously not so easy to deal with. First, after Leonard used the stolen "blasphemous words" to achieve victory, he suffered a heavy blow and fainted.

Upon seeing this, Megose immediately wanted to finish him off, but was stopped by Dunn using the power of Saint Selina's ashes. Klein took the opportunity to prepare to use the last Flaming Sun Talisman.

However, before he could use it, the situation changed. With a "Wow!", a baby cried. The power of the evil god's offspring not only dispelled the power of Saint Selina's ashes, but also served as a range attack, making Klein and Dunn miserable. The situation on the battlefield was about to be reversed.

Seeing that Megose was about to get out of trouble completely and the offspring of the evil god was about to be born, Dunn's eyes changed, and he raised his hand to dig out his heart without any hesitation, and use his heart to further activate the power of Saint Selina's ashes.

However, just as Dunn's right hand was about to pierce his chest, a hand reached out from the side, grabbed his arm, and stopped Dunn's action.

"Although a missing heart isn't incurable, I'm not good at healing, so it would be very troublesome."

A strange voice sounded beside him, low and pleasant, with a faint smile.

Dunn turned his head in astonishment and saw a pair of golden eyes that shone like the sun. There was a faint smile in those eyes. When he looked at her, she curled her lips and smiled at him.

This is... Mr. Lucifer?
Dunn recognized who it was almost immediately. Although he didn't have a photo of the other person, Old Neil had used the power of ritual magic to draw a portrait of the other person that looked exactly like the person in front of him.

The next second, Dunn saw Mr. Lucifer, who had just smiled at him, look at Megose and the evil god's offspring not far away, frowning as if displeased.

"So noisy." His golden eyes met the other party's gaze. The next second, the descendant of the evil god who had just been crying loudly suddenly became quiet, his breath weakened, and it was obvious that he had suffered a serious blow.

"As expected, I should get rid of you first. Even though you're just a discarded pawn, as an important prop, you deserve a proper ending."

Dunn heard Lucifer speak as usual, and the next second, the surroundings suddenly became dark. The darkness was different from the darkness of the night, and it carried a lingering breath of death. It was cold and damp. Dunn felt as if he was thrown into a river, which made him shudder.

But the darkness only lasted for a short time. After the darkness dissipated, Dunn saw that the offspring of the evil god not far away had disappeared, and Mr. Lucifer, who was originally beside him, was squatting there. He didn't know when a piece of white cloth appeared in his hand. Lucifer covered the ground with the white cloth, and Dunn noticed that there was a corpse lying there.

That was the body of Megose.

"Give her a proper burial. Although she was an actor forced onto the stage, she has completed her performance and deserves a fitting ending."

Luo Lin stood up, looked at Dunn, and spoke gently.

"The Night Watchmen will take care of everything afterward, including the burial of the deceased and the comforting of their families." Dunn answered almost instinctively, and it was obvious that he was very nervous.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm not a cannibal." Luo Lin smiled, his eyes fixed on Klein, who was not far away. He said, "Hello again, Klein. I told you we would meet again."

Klein suddenly remembered what Mr. Azik had mentioned about Lucifer. He couldn't help but say, "You knew what would happen, so you said... he came to the center of a stage that didn't belong to him."

The person he was referring to here was naturally Jack. Out of consideration for Captain Dunn's presence, Klein didn't mention the name directly.

Luo Lin smiled when he heard this, neither confirming nor denying it. He simply looked at Dunn, gestured to the puppet Ince Zangwill who had been brought over with him, and said, "It's a gift. I hope you like it."

“This… is this Ince Zangwill?” Dunn then noticed Ince Zangwill, who had been made into a puppet next to him. This made him instinctively alert at first, and then he found that Ince Zangwill was in a wrong state.

This made Dunn look at Luo Lin almost subconsciously. Thinking of the gift he mentioned, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Your Highness Lucifer, could you tell Ince Zangwill what's going on?"

"The recent series of events in Tingen all originated from him. This is the story he wrote for you. I have to say, it's terrible." Rowling seemed to remember something, took out a notebook and threw it to Dunn. The latter took it and quickly flipped through a few pages, his expression becoming ugly.

Klein couldn't help but lean over to look at the contents of the notebook. He finally knew the source of a series of coincidences that had occurred around him in the past two months.

Although it was only a part... Klein smiled bitterly in his heart and looked at Rowling not far away. He couldn't help but feel both grateful and afraid.

He couldn't imagine how everything would have turned out today if this fellow villager hadn't intervened.
