"Special Effect 3: Unstoppable"
…
"Unstoppable: All targets within Azure Oath's attack range.
When facing the normal attack of Azure Oath.
You will not be able to block, parry, dodge, teleport, or flash..."
…
「Special Effect 4: Long-range Throwing」
…
"Long-range Throwing: Azure Oath can be used as a projectile and thrown over extremely long distances.
Ranged throws do not benefit from the 'Unstoppable' effect.
But the Azure Oath will accumulate power according to the distance between the two parties.
The farther the distance, the higher the charge, and the stronger the power.
…
…
Look at the densely packed special effects descriptions.
Roger couldn't help but flick the spear in his hand.
Buzz!
As if responding to his finger.
The azure spear vibrated with joy.
Constantine's voice also came faintly:
…
“It was a real artifact.
Later, it suffered unprecedented damage in a great war.
I found it in the ruins of a world, or planet.
It seemed as if it had been artificially recast.
But the technique of the person who recast it was rather crude.
It can only restore a little of its former glory.
But even so.
Among the semi-artifacts.
"Azure Oath" can also be considered a top-notch weapon.
not to mention.
It also has its own spirituality.
You should have felt it..."
… …
Roger nodded slightly.
The spirituality of Azure Oath is very obvious.
This is very similar to Griffith.
It's just that Griffith's spirituality formed his own personality.
But there is no such thing as the Azure Oath.
Or rather.
According to Constantine.
It should have had its own personality.
It’s a pity that it was later destroyed in a war.
The present spirituality is a remnant of the past personality.
This kind of semi-artifact often takes a very long time to recover to its peak state.
But the good thing is.
As long as you give it time.
There is a high probability that it will pay off.
After all, the upper limit was there.
Much more reliable than semi-artifacts.
…
For a while.
Roger couldn't let go of the spear and stroked it repeatedly.
He admitted it.
The conditions offered by Constantine were very tempting.
He likes this semi-artifact very much.
Men are like that.
Who doesn't like to stab people with a gun?
not to mention.
He and the Mask of Killing have always had an inimical relationship.
This thing seems to be free money.
…
"But from the second level of thinking."
"Constantine obviously knows about the rivalry between me and Kill Mask."
"Would he be willing to pay me so much to beg me?"
Although the joy is beyond words.
But Roger's sanity was still there.
He was extremely wary of Constantine.
Think of this.
Roger asked casually:
"The ruins of a world or planet?"
"You mean the former Tenth Planet?"
As soon as these words came out.
Roger could clearly feel that the intimidation puppet's eyes looking at him became sharper.
After a while.
Then Constantine said calmly:
"You are indeed very knowledgeable."
He did not give the exact origin of the Azure Oath.
He just acquiesced to Roger's statement in an ambiguous way.
Roger certainly wouldn't fall for this kind of word game.
He smiled and held the spear.
Pretending to be overwhelmed by this unexpected surprise:
"certainly……"
"No one knows the Tenth Planet better than me."
"Can you tell me how you were able to enter the ruins? Perhaps we can exchange experiences."
Constantine answered without missing a beat:
"sure."
"But I guess that's something we'll talk about next time we meet."
"I have stayed here for too long. I hope you can abide by the agreement between us..."
Roger was a little surprised:
"You're giving it to me now?"
"Don't you need to sign a contract or something?"
Constantine smiled and said:
"unnecessary."
"I believe in your reputation and character."
"Mystra would not make a mistake in choosing a person, and a demon slayer would not be a name for nothing."
Roger swung the spear with ease.
Next second.
He suddenly aimed the Azure Oath at the threatening puppet!
"With such a powerful semi-artifact, why don't you kill him yourself?"
Roger suddenly challenged.
Constantine's response was quick.
His tone was still full of helplessness:
"I can't stab him."
Roger snorted in disapproval:
"So you're so confident in handing it over to me?"
"Aren't you afraid that I might use it against you?"
This time.
Constantine answered confidently:
"You can't stab me."
"No need to test my sincerity again, Master Demon Slayer."
“Maybe you have a lot of doubts.”
"But it is undeniable that...our common enemy now is the Mask of Slaughter, isn't it?"
"I know his location, I'll give you the coordinates..."
"Yes, it's in this puppet. You can receive it if you open it."
Speaking of.
The light in the eyes of the intimidating puppet gradually dimmed.
In perception.
Constantine's "possession time" has ended.
Roger waited a moment.
Then he walked quickly forward.
A clean and sharp strike of the Taiyi Lihuo Sword.
The intimidation puppet shattered with a sound.
What fell into Roger's hands was a necklace with a bright yellow pendant.
As soon as the necklace touched Roger's palm, it emitted a soft glow.
A wonderful throbbing surged into Roger's mind.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You have obtained the 'Necklace of Grudge'"
…
"Necklace of Enmity: Every 24 hours, you will be able to obtain the specific coordinates of the nearest person of the same rank;
at the same time.
Every 72 hours.
The other party can also obtain your coordinates.
…
"This old guy..."
"That's a good trick."
Roger sneered in his heart.
Constantine's purpose could not be more obvious.
This forced Roger to deal with the Killing Mask as soon as possible.
From this perspective.
This guy seems to be in the same camp as himself.
But in fact.
There are two possible subdivisions:
…
The first one.
Roger and Constantine's interests do not coincide.
But the activeness of the Mask of Slaughter greatly damaged Constantine's interests.
Or maybe.
Constantine would benefit from the death of the Mask of Slaughter .
And this benefit is far greater than at least one semi-artifact.
This explains Constantine's every move.
…
The second one.
What Constantine wanted was not the killing mask death.
But Roger died!
…
"It's also possible that he doesn't care who dies, as long as we two fight, he can benefit from it..."
He stroked the spear again.
Roger smelled a strong scent of a trap.
in particular.
When the following line of information flashed across his vision.
He even wanted to attack Constantine!
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: Do you want to use the killing status to bind the 'Azure Oath'?"
…
"Note: Azure Oath is a character-bound weapon.
Used in unbound state.
It can only bring out its basic attributes but cannot mobilize its special effects.
…
Roger immediately chose to deny it.
"It smells too much of a conspiracy, Constantine."
"Do you really think I'm stupid, or has he done enough to get to this point..."
Roger is more inclined to believe the latter.
None of these old perverts in Mistra are simple-minded.
There can only be one reason why the other party did it so obviously -
That is to say, it is enough to add fuel to the fire to this point.
As long as Roger doesn't lose the "Necklace of Grudge".
Even if he didn't go looking for the Mask of Killing.
The latter will also come to find himself.
This may be an open conspiracy.
…
Close your eyes.
Roger thought seriously for a moment.
Not long.
The dedicated sixth sense refreshes new content in a timely manner.
…
"Sixth Sense: You sense that Constantine was 'bluffing' or 'concealing' when describing the origins of the Mask of Slaughter.
He omitted crucial information.
This may cause you to misjudge the real events...”
…
"It is true."
Roger snorted.
Seeing this.
He casually threw the Azure Oath into the pile of miscellaneous items on Tinder Bag.
"They said they chose this place to negotiate in order to deceive the Killing Mask's perception. Maybe they did it to avoid my perception!"
"This alchemist has a big problem!"
Roger's expression gradually became solemn.
Having an additional potential immortal-level enemy is no simple matter.
He must find out where Constantine's malice towards him comes from!
Based on current intelligence.
Constantine and Mask of Killing might be working together.
They are working together to set a trap for Roger.
The Azure Oath is just one of the traps.
The Necklace of Vengeance is the second one.
Roger thought about it carefully.
Suddenly I realized that I could actually change my thinking to deal with the Mask of Killing.
The main conflict between the two sides lies in the dispute over status.
The secondary contradiction is the twelve secret keys.
But what is now on the table is the fight for the twelve secret keys.
And in this regard.
Roger actually has the advantage.
He now has three keys in his hands.
Actively entering the Great Secret Realm to find trouble with the Mask of Killing is a high-risk, low-reward thing.
If he is confident enough.
He could even wait for Slaughter-Mask to collect the other keys.
Then you can kill the Mask of Killing and reap the rewards.
certainly.
This is an extreme theoretical situation.
That's the fact.
There is absolutely no need for Roger to fight to the death with Killing Mask in the opponent's home court!
Especially with Constantine potentially out.
A better strategy would be to arrange this inevitable war on your own home turf!
Anyway, the ones who are anxious are Constantine and Mask of Killing.
Roger himself can actually sit back and relax!
…
Figured this out.
Roger's mood suddenly became much happier.
The only question now is what vital information Constantine is hiding.
But this is something that cannot be rushed.
Now.
Roger threw the "Necklace of Grudge" and the "Azure Oath" into the corner to collect dust.
He turned around and quickly left the "Observer's Hut".
"Just pretend you've never met Constantine."
"But the coordinates we just got, if I remember correctly, are underground, right?"
Roger ran across the land in a relaxed manner.
Not long.
A violent tremor broke out under his feet.
Deep in the earth.
There were wailing sounds like ghosts and wolves howling.
"Um?"
Roger looked back.
Just not far away.
A column of gray-green gas broke through the earth's crust like a fountain.
It surged hundreds of meters into the sky!
That moment.
Everything nearby was covered in that muddy green!
Even Roger was dyed into a little green man!
…
“Just in time!”
Roger's face lit up with joy.
He came to the surface just to try out this legendary poison gas!
That moment.
He neither dodged nor evaded.
Even took the initiative to embrace the warm tide of poison.
Next second.
…
"Refine poison into evil"!
…
…
3 minutes later.
"Wow!"
“Wow!”
“Wow wow wow!”
The edge of the gas explosion zone.
A figure with a swollen face staggered out.
He was running.
He was still vomiting blood crazily!
now.
Roger's entire body swelled up to twice his size.
The skin surface is almost black.
The skin on the face is the lightest.
But he was also poisoned and turned into a blue-gray color!
This is a sign of deep poisoning.
pain!
faint!
itch!
If it weren't for the strength.
Roger may have fainted by now.
He never expected it.
The poisonous gas on the surface is so strong!
He has 700 points of poison resistance and 700 points of poison endurance.
Still unable to withstand this ordinary outbreak of poisonous fog.
What made him even more heartbroken was...
To withstand this toxic invasion.
The killing status he had just cultivated was damaged!
on the data bar.
…
"Record: Failed to refine poison into evil. You are completely unable to control the 'Earth Core Toxin'..."
…
"Poison Resistance (700) is in effect... Death saving throw succeeded, you did not die immediately from inhaling the poisonous gas from the earth's core... Severe Injury saving throw failed, you cannot resist the damage of the poisonous gas from the earth's core!"
…
" Toxin resistance (700) is slowly taking effect... Adaptation check failed. You can't adapt to the poisonous gas at the core of the earth quickly!"
…
"Warning: You have encountered an extremely strong toxin invasion, and your personal defense is automatically activated..."
…
"Current position defense: 97%/100%"
…
Heartache!
Roger, his head swollen like a pig, looked at the damaged personality.
I feel so painful inside!
Personal defense is the strongest but usually the last means of defense for an ascender.
This thing recovers very slowly.
Roger didn't want to let it drop even a single percentage point.
This time it dropped three points.
It's more painful than killing him once!
The key is this "geocentric toxin".
This thing was far more domineering than Roger could have imagined.
No wonder an entire civilization was nearly wiped out!
You can look at the information on the data bar.
The more Roger thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became.
The stronger the geocentric toxin.
The more he wanted to subdue it by "refining poison into evil".
In this way.
He has two kinds of poisons that are powerful enough to threaten the Ascended Ones!
…
“It’s not like there’s no solution at all.”
Outside the gas explosion area.
Roger endured the pain of the poison entering his body.
I exchanged two "Renewal Tickets" for the chance!
He wants to max out his "Toxin Resistance"!
The reason why I don’t brush “poison resistance” but choose “poison resistance ”.
Because the latter has greater potential.
The value is also 2000 points.
The latter has wider adaptability.
These two tickets are in hand.
The most urgent task is to find a monster that is large in number and easy to bully.
Roger recovered for a while.
Wait until your body returns to normal shape.
So I wandered outside the toxin outbreak area for a while.
Very quickly.
He found a very suitable monster!
After a moment.
In a hole in the ground.
…
"You discovered the 'Eight-winged Treeworm Nest'"
…
"Hint: Are you sure you want to use the 'Renewal Ticket' on the 'Eight-winged Treeworm'?"
…
"Please specify the target to rekindle our past relationship with... The target is: Swamp Gnat."
…
"The attributes of the Sin Mark have been changed. You can now gain 'Toxin Resistance' by killing 'Eight-Winged Tree Worms'..."
…
"Hint: You killed 147 eight-winged tree insects."
…
"Your poison resistance has been slightly improved."
…
"You destroyed the nest of the eight-winged tree worm."
…
"Insight: You have discovered an enchanted item (Suicide Gloves)"
…
"Um?"
Roger stared at the pair of gray-brown gloves in his hands thoughtfully.
Suddenly.
He realized what important information Constantine was hiding!
…
