Mystery: A Spark

"Ha, you were perfunctory when I wanted to teach you before, and now you want to learn? Too late!"

"No, old man... no... sir, no, teacher, I was young and ignorant before, you old man..."

Leonard walked away with a forced smile...

Chapter 73 Life Diversion

Why are the offspring of the true creator so dark-skinned? Did they drink too much soy sauce while pregnant? Or...?

Arthur looked at the half-illusory, deformed baby on the ground, which was crying incessantly, and his mind wandered.

But now was clearly not the time to let his mind wander, so Arthur composed himself and began to act.

He crossed his hands and made a seemingly mysterious hand seal.

But in reality, this gesture was useless. Arthur just felt that standing there was a bit silly, so he made a gesture for himself.

He aimed the spell at the half-illusory deformed infant on the ground, then activated the Demon Hunter's insignia on his hand.

Previously, when Arthur was promoted to Demon Hunter in the Trial Illusion, he obtained a Devouring Slot, which allowed him to contain an entity in order to gain some of its abilities.

However, the target of this devouring cannot be chosen casually, because if it is too strong, Arthur will definitely not be able to suppress it and will suffer a backlash.

If it's too weak, swallowing it won't do any good.

Therefore, after carefully recalling the part of the original story that remained in his mind, Arthur finally set his sights on the real baby in Tingen.

The offspring of the true Creator are, in terms of power alone, beyond reproach.

In the original story, even before the true offspring were born, the Night Watchers suffered enormous losses simply because of Megous, an ordinary human host.

Dunn, a Sequence 7, was killed in battle; Leonard, a Sequence 8, was wounded; Klein was seriously injured and then killed by Ince Zangwell in a sneak attack.

The well-organized Tingen Market Nightwalker squad was crippled in one fell swoop.

At that time, the true offspring had not even been born yet.

Therefore, the true offspring of the Creator is very powerful.

However, the reason Arthur dared to plot to create a true offspring was because He was now even more underdeveloped than He was in the original story.

Because it was already past September then, while it's only mid-August now.

Moreover, just to be on the safe side, Arthur specially invited Father Utravsky, a colleague from the Church of the Earth, from Backlund.

Let him help suppress the true offspring and further weaken Him.

Most importantly, Arthur also reached an agreement with Palles to steal the true offspring from Megos's womb.

An entity without a physical form, if it has a vessel, even if it is just an ordinary person, will become much more difficult to deal with.

But if He loses His mother and has no support, then He will be much easier to deal with.

At Arthur's urging, the Demon Hunter's insignia on his hand suddenly emitted a powerful suction force.

"Wow!!!"

The cries of the true creation's offspring grew increasingly piercing as He struggled frantically, yet He was still unable to resist this powerful suction.

Soon, it transformed into a chaotic black light and was cast into Arthur's hand.

However, just as He was about to fall into Arthur's hands, an extremely powerful mental shock suddenly struck from the True Child and rushed into Arthur's mind.

"Click."

A crisp cracking sound rang in Arthur's mind, and the purple mark between his eyebrows vanished instantly.

Arthur's face remained calm, without any change in expression.

He skillfully replenished his soul stone, for he had long been prepared to be attacked by this deformed infant.

Then, Arthur closed his eyes and stuffed the True Child, which had made a desperate last stand but had not caused him any harm, into his mouth.

One after another, illusory chains shimmering with an eerie green light sprouted from Arthur's body and then quickly wrapped around the true offspring he had swallowed.

Locked.

The next second, Arthur opened his eyes, and an eerie, ghostly green flame ignited in his blue pupils.

Thus, the true offspring, which the Night Watchers had fought so hard to destroy in the original story, was sealed inside Arthur's body while He was even weaker.

Arthur walked up to Bishop Utravsky and greeted him.

The tall bishop opened his light blue eyes and nodded, saying:

"How's it going? Is everything alright?"

When Leonard left, Bishop Utravsky closed his eyes to avoid suspicion.

"Thank you, Bishop. I succeeded. I will help you resolve your negative personality issues as soon as possible," Arthur said with great pleasure.

The reward he received for asking Bishop Utravsky for help was a promise to resolve his psychological problems within three months.

Of course, Arthur would never do it himself; he had no interest in fighting a Dawn Knight with high attack and defense.

Moreover, he didn't want to engage in any Inception-like activities with Bishop Utravsky's negative personality.

As a hunter, Arthur will only choose to fight on his home turf if given the choice.

He would not enter an unfamiliar battlefield unless absolutely necessary.

Fighting in a dream is naturally extremely disadvantageous for Arthur in his current state.

Therefore, Arthur's plan is to wait until Klein is promoted to magician before inviting him to help Bishop Utravsky resolve his personality issues.

“Alright, do you want to come back to Backlund with me?” Bishop Utravsky asked, looking down at Arthur.

"No, I have some things to take care of here," Arthur said with a smile.

"Well then, be careful here." Bishop Utravsky picked up Megos and prepared to leave.

"Bishop, what do you intend to do with her?" Arthur asked.

“I will notify headquarters and have them send someone to take her away. In the meantime, let her stay in the church,” Bishop Utravsky said without hesitation.

Arthur nodded, having no objection to this approach.

......

Upon returning to the rented detached house, Arthur discovered that Arthas was not home, having apparently gone off somewhere to party.

He didn't mind, after all, the little guy often did this, sneaking out to play whenever he had nothing to do.

Arthur went upstairs to his bedroom and stood in front of the mirror.

This sealing of the true offspring has granted Arthur several new abilities.

What Arthur longed for most was the ability to manipulate flesh and blood.

Of course, it's not as terrifying as the flesh magic of the Hanged Man pathway; it simply greatly enhances his self-healing ability and allows him to change his appearance and physique to some extent.

But the most crucial point is not this, but that after Arthur has this ability, he can restore his vitality by eating.

The reason Arthur values ​​this ability to restore his life force so much is because he saw a new spell unlocked in the Skull of Gul'dan last night.

Warlock spell: Life Tap.

Chapter 74 A bold idea

As a spellcaster class, the Warlock has a significant characteristic compared to other spellcaster classes.

This characteristic.

This also makes the warlock class seem somewhat sinister compared to other classes, and it cannot be accepted by mainstream thought to become a legitimate profession.

That is, the warlock class can use life and soul as resources for casting spells.

Whether it belongs to someone else or to oneself.

Warlock spell: Life Tap.

In the game, this spell can consume your own health points to restore your mana points.

Here, it can consume life force to restore its spirituality.

However, vitality is not something you can play around with, since it is closely related to lifespan.

Among the lower-to-middle sequences of the twenty-two extraordinary pathways, very few can manipulate life force.

At least, the path Arthur is on has no way to manipulate life force.

Although he had learned the spell of absorbing life, this method of replenishing his life force by forcibly plundering it could not be a sustainable means of development.

Because in this way, you'd either be sucking people or animals.

Neither of these approaches is suitable as a long-term solution.

The ability to manipulate flesh and blood that was granted to Arthur by sealing away the true offspring allows him to replenish his life force by consuming meat.

This is the way to long-term success.

Furthermore, Arthur also gained the ability to heal himself through this.

As a taunt tank, his powerful self-healing ability greatly enhances his sense of security.

Why does Deadpool in Marvel love to court death so much?

It's precisely because this guy can't die that he likes to court death.

While Arthur's healing ability isn't as overpowered as Deadpool's, it allows him to unleash his true nature a bit and not be as "prudent" as before.

The second ability Arthur received from the True Child was the ability to move while concealed in the shadows.

Although he is a hunter rather than an assassin, with his hidden blade at hand, Arthur doesn't mind occasionally playing around with Assassin's Creed.

The last ability, however, seems rather inexplicable.

Perhaps because the true creator is the aggregate of the fallen nature of living beings, Arthur can use this ability to create the seeds of humanity.

He can implant the seeds of humanity into other people's bodies, gradually influencing them with his own values ​​and beliefs, and eventually transforming them into his own shape.

Of course, if the target is much stronger than him, although he can still exert influence, the other party can easily resist.

However, Arthur felt that this ability was not very useful for his next mission, so he put it out of his mind and did not continue to study it.
