Mystery: A Spark

It was convinced that it would succeed tonight because it had figured out a way to stay awake.

As usual, the blond man conjured an ominous aura emanating a heavy malice in his hand.

As always, Arthas was enraged the moment he saw this aura.

"It doesn't seem like anything has changed. Isn't it still just a matter of going through the procedures?"

The blond man muttered something, stuffed the remaining snacks into his mouth, and stood up, ready to knock the little guy out as usual.

However, the next moment, he suddenly stopped, because he saw that rationality was gradually appearing in the puppy's eyes, which were radiating a scarlet light.

"It's interesting."

The blond man moved closer, but didn't do much; he simply observed the puppy's changes quietly.

At this moment, Arthas was struggling to maintain his sanity.

To maintain inner peace...

Not affected by... rage...

It requires...anchor points...

The puppy, filled with inexplicable anger and hatred, struggled to think, trying to recall the moments he had spent with Arthur, using those happy memories to fight against the negative emotions in his heart.

This anger... is not... my anger...

Hate... or not...

No matter... where these emotions... come from... they... can't... affect me...

I am Arthur's partner;

I am Arthas!

"Roar!"

The moment the puppy regained its senses, it completely relinquished control of its body.

Arthur said that a calm mind and a furious body are entirely possible, and I believe him... Arthas used all his energy to maintain his sanity and no longer paid attention to the changes in his body.

The red light in its eyes faded, but its body began to swell.

Its teeth became long and sharp, and claws gradually grew out.

Just a few seconds later, the adorable puppy standing in the same spot was no longer the same one.

Instead, there was a giant wolf, over two meters tall, with a completely silver-white coat.

The moment this peculiar giant wolf appeared, it let out its incredibly loud howl to the world:

"Ouch~~~~"

Before it stood a blond, red-eyed man, stunned, muttering incredulously:

"It's a wolf..."

……

At the same moment that the wolf howled.

In the real world, the crimson moon in the sky emitted a sudden and intensified red moonlight.

Inside an apartment building in Hillston, Backlund.

Hugh glanced at the crimson moonlight outside the window, then at Fors, who was sleeping soundly like a baby on the sofa, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She found a blanket, gently draped it over Fors, and then sat down next to her friend, waiting for her to wake up.

She knew that Fors was no longer there; instead, she had gone to seek refuge with the mysterious being known as the Fool.

……

7 Townsend Street, Queens.

Arthur lay quietly on the bed with his eyes closed.

He appeared to be fast asleep, but in reality, his mind had entered the Trial Illusion, where he was learning the combat skills of a Demon Hunter under the training of his instructors.

This training has lasted for two months, and Arthur has gradually mastered combat skills and become proficient in dual-wielding tactics.

Even so, Arthur was unable to break through the blockade of the hordes of demons at the gates of the Dark Temple.

But tonight, when that wolf howl echoed in the spirit world, everything changed.

Arthur was focused on his practice when he suddenly heard his instructor speak:

"You may proceed to the Dark Temple."

Before Arthur could say anything, the instructor's figure gradually disappeared.

Arthur was a little confused. He looked in the direction of the Dark Temple, only to find that the hordes of demons that had been standing in front of the temple had vanished without a trace.

"Hiss~ Goodness, so this isn't a plan to just charge straight in." Arthur muttered blankly.

He slung the recruit's sword over his back and walked toward the gates of the Dark Temple.

After all, these were his only pair of weapons in this trial illusion, so he naturally needed to take good care of them and could not discard them casually.

As Arthur walked along the long corridor in front of the Dark Temple, a question gradually arose in his mind:

"What conditions did I meet to make these gatekeeper demons disappear?"

After thinking it over carefully, Arthur realized that he hadn't actually done anything special that night.

As usual, I'm just here to practice my combat skills and the warlock magic in the Skull of Gul'dan within the Trial Realm.

And he doesn't actually come every night.

When he first transmigrated to this world, Arthur did indeed automatically come to this trial illusion every night.

But later, he gradually became able to choose between sleeping normally or entering the trial illusion.

However, at that time, because he had only recently transmigrated, Arthur couldn't sleep well at night.

So he simply spent his nights practicing magic in illusions.

It wasn't until he met Arthas that Arthur was finally able to get a good night's sleep, thanks to the little guy's company.

Therefore, after that, he gradually reduced the frequency of entering the Trial Illusion, maintaining it at about two or three times a week.

Soon, Arthur arrived at the gates of the Dark Temple.

He didn't rush in, but tried to look inside from the doorway, only to find it completely dark inside and he couldn't see anything.

Even with Ghost Vision enabled, it was still completely useless.

Left with no other option, Arthur had to enter the temple.

As soon as he entered, he saw a pair of new battle blades stuck in the ground in front of him.

There is a green rune and a decoration resembling a demon's head on the grip of the pair of blades.

"The Deceiver's Twin Blades?" Arthur recognized the weapons at a glance.

He glanced at the pair of Deceitful Twin Blades not far away, then took the recruit's sword off his back and examined it.

Without any hesitation, Arthur threw the recruit's sword aside.

"Damn it! Garbage weapon! It ruined my youth."

Chapter 144 The conman is eventually fooled.

In the Trial Illusion.

Arthur stepped forward and picked up the pair of Deceiver's blades stuck in the ground.

The moment he received the pair of blades, their effects appeared in his mind.

These twin blades possess an ability called Phantom Strike.

Phantom Strike: Whenever you use the dual blades to make a certain number of attacks, phantoms of the dual blades will appear to add an extra attack.

Moreover, this ability can grow by absorbing demon souls, gradually reducing the number of attacks required.

Overall, this is a very good pair of weapons, far superior to the previous pair of basic recruit blades.

After acquiring his new weapon, Arthur's eyes darted eagerly towards the monsters ahead.

Contrary to Arthur's expectations, he had thought that after entering through the main gate, he would go directly to the first-floor hall of the Dark Temple.

In other words, in the game, you can use a bug to jump onto the iron chain to reach the Shadow Sanctuary on the second floor.

However, after Arthur entered through the gates of the Dark Temple, he found himself in the temple's Karabor sewers.

And this is precisely the original starting point of the Dark Temple instance.

Arthur looked around and found that the place was filled with sewage.

Within this sewage, comparable to industrial wastewater, filthy water elements and mutated beasts roam freely.

However, these monsters seemed much easier to deal with than the hordes of demons outside the door.

Instead of acting rashly, Arthur first lured the two nearest water elementals over to test his skills.

Soon, Arthur killed the two corrupted water elementals, and thus gained a general understanding of the strength of these monsters.

After assessing the strength of these monsters, Arthur didn't linger any longer and began his conquest of the Dark Temple dungeon, wielding the Deceitful Twin Blades.

Only when he was mentally exhausted and could no longer sustain Arthur's battle in the Dark Temple did he exit the Trial Illusion and awaken from his slumber.

At this point, his progress was still in the Karabor sewers, and he hadn't even seen the first boss yet.

Dark Temple progress: 0/9.

……

Tuesday morning.

Arthur woke up from his sleep.

Last night, he finally stepped into the Dark Temple for the first time in the Trial Illusion.

This means that he is getting closer and closer to his long-awaited goal: the Garden of Pleasure, filled with fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged blood elves.

Arthur lay in bed, daydreaming for a while with his eyes open, before gradually snapping out of his reverie.
