Volume 3: The Secret of the Door Chapter 35: Moon Rising from the Sea

At dusk, the fiery red sun gradually sinks toward the sea level.

The waves of the sea intertwined with the red color, and immediately bright red patterns like fish scales appeared.

And at this moment, a figure appeared.

Yes, Goethe!

quack!

The moment he appeared in the sea, Goethe jumped out of the water, stepped on the body of a [Blood Crow Spirit], quickly broke away from the sea, and distanced himself from the sea at an extremely fast speed.

"It should be able to delay the time a little."

Goethe said secretly, and the starry sky representing the [Ring of the Mad King] appeared again in front of him.

The gray starlight began to become brighter.

Flashing with Goethe's breathing.

When it reached a certain extreme, black appeared in the gray of the star, and then a hint of scarlet appeared. It slowly moved away from its original position and rose between the original black and red, standing side by side with the black and red star representing "Poirot Marple's writing career."

['Secret Realm' upgrade is being judged...]

[Judgment passed! ]

[Judgment that the holder of the 'key' has accelerated the world's progress and helped the world complete its upgrade. Judgment in progress...]

[Judgment passed! ]

[The holder of the 'key' gains a trace of 'world power'! ]

[The fusion of the 'Power of the World' and the 'Key' holder, judging...]

…

"Half a level more than expected!"

Goethe frowned.

When he chose to leave the 'secret realm', he had a premonition that the 'college secret realm' would be upgraded.

After all, he has almost unified the entire secret realm and laid a solid foundation. As long as he follows the procedures, it is only a matter of time before the mysterious side becomes more intense.

What Goethe didn't expect was that the 'Secret Realm of the Academy' would be upgraded to the black and red level.

Is it because the foundation is too good?

Goethe guessed.

Then, a light flashed before his eyes.

His tribe migrated.

A tragic victory.

The giant wolves were killed by the giant bear and fled in all directions. The remaining members gathered on the back of the giant bear and headed towards a new migration site.

According to what the elders had told them, they were going to return to their 'ancestral land'.

Where is the ancestral land?

Goethe didn't know that he was seriously injured and could not feel any bumps when he heard the sound of the flesh and soil stepping on it.

Become a hero against the giant wolf.

He was surrounded by everyone.

Seeing him sober up, the children, who were about his age, cheered.

Goethe raised his head with difficulty and looked around.

Except for this group of children of his age, all the adults in the tribe died in the battle.

Wheezing! Wheezing!

He is breathing rapidly!

It is grief and even more anger!

He hated his own powerlessness!

But he knew that what he needed now was to recover from his injuries, and then...

revenge!

He must repay today's blood feud tenfold.

The sun rises and sets.

Carried by the giant bear, they walked for ten days and arrived at a forest.

'Ancestral land'!

The children who were traveling with us shouted.

Goethe, who was able to sit up, looked at the endless forests. Looking at the giant tree in the distant forest that connected the sky and the earth, he fell into a daze.

He unconsciously shifted his gaze upwards.

He hoped to see the tops of the giant trees.

However, even if he opened his eyes as wide as possible, it was of no avail.

Can't see clearly. Can't see.

It's the same with everyone around me.

Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked up at the sky.

The giant bear moved forward again.

The towering trees seemed to sense the giant bear's return, and clouds gathered above their heads, scattering a light drizzle.

The rain is cool.

Washed the mud off the giant bear and the children.

The appearance of a rainbow completely dispelled the haze in the children's hearts.

Goethe, who had been only able to sit up, recovered from his injuries.

Not just healing.

He could even feel himself getting stronger.

He stood up, clenched his fists, and yelled behind him.

“We are not extinct!”

"I will definitely take back the tribe's flag!"

"Before that, I will definitely live well!"

Then he jumped off the bear's back.

He wants to go into the mountains with the giant bear.

He didn't want the giant bear to hold him up.

The other children followed suit.

The giant bear laughed and deliberately slowed down his pace.

The bear and the man disappeared into the forest.

Buzz!

More and more powerful power poured into Goethe's body, and he became stronger again... No!

It’s wake up!

Certain fragments of memory deep in his soul are awakening!

He seemed to see himself using the vines on the towering tree to weave a lasso and pull down the giant bird that covered the sky. He seemed to see himself using the bark that had fallen off the tree to sharpen a spear and pierce to death the giant snake that was ravaging the entire sea. He seemed to see himself and his people rushing forward, knocking those armored monsters to the ground and sharing their flesh and blood.

A name that is engraved in the deepest part of the soul is looming.

He held his breath and tried to search.

Eventually, two words became clear.

There's a bear!

"A bear?"

Goethe murmured unconsciously. When he raised his hand to touch the two words, he found that he had returned to the sky above the inner bay without knowing when.

Tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of my eyes.

Those were the tears I shed when I saw my hometown.

It was like seeing the tears of a loved one.

Even though they are long gone.

[Judgment passed! ]

[The holder of the 'key' completes the alienated essence! ]

[The holder of the 'key', 'Human (Black Iron. Alienated)', was promoted to 'Human (Silver. Alienated)'! 】

[Human (Silver. Alienation): You, the immortal species, have experienced a baptism. Originally, you should have been promoted to a 'Silver Human'. However, the difference hidden deep in your soul has become more complete after more world power has poured in, allowing you to begin to see those past memories from the blood imprint, the memories of your ancestors! At this time, you already have a long lifespan. You are very smart and can master more skills in an instant. You also have a stronger and faster body than others. Moreover, your recovery speed has become faster again. You have even begun to truly master a little bit of your ancestors' special talents. Now you are a slightly incomplete immortal species, but you have some of your ancestors' talents. You will eventually become complete. Go hunt for your food! Eating will make you stronger! ]

[Effect 1: Heart +5.0, Skill +20, Physical +20]

[Effect 2: Feast (Go find prey, hunt them, and eat them. Only eating will make you stronger!)]

[Effect 3: Volibear Breathing Technique (Transcendent IV→V)]

…

"Upgrading after alienation preserves alienation... No!"

"It's digging inwards, digging deeper!"

"It is a simultaneous improvement of normal and abnormal!"

At this moment, Goethe suddenly realized something.

If there was no alienation, he would naturally be able to obtain corresponding benefits, but he would definitely not be promoted to 'Silver' like now, but should be promoted to 'High Black Iron'.

Only through experience can one understand the power Goethe gained when he saw 'There is a bear'.

That is not just the improvement of one's own talents.

It's not just the enhancement of attributes and mystical skills.

It is a fundamental change.

yes……

unyielding!

Remain unyielding in the face of the power of heaven and earth!

Face the unyielding might of behemoth monsters!

Resilience in the face of life’s hardships!

feast!

After the hunt, a grand banquet!

After your body and mind are completely relaxed, eat more food to replenish yourself, and then... keep moving forward!

Goethe's hand unconsciously touched his stomach.

Are you feeling hungry?

have!

But what is more is the will to fight!

Hunger turned into fighting spirit!

The desire to fight is overwhelming!

Devour the world!

He originally had a trace of uneasiness , but it disappeared without a trace at this moment!

The [Voliber Breathing Technique] that was upgraded again in front of him made him cheer and leap for joy, and the [Blood Slaughter Blade] even emitted a series of buzzing sounds.

He patiently suppressed the brutality of [Blood Slaughter Blade] temporarily.

He carefully read [Vollibear Breathing Method (Transcendence V)]——

[Volibear Breathing Technique (Transcendence V): When you choose to be fearless and fight in a devastating way, everything is already predetermined! You will achieve unprecedented success! You will have the honor that attracts the world's attention! At this moment, you have not only entered the next stage, but also touched the essence of "Thunder". The Volibear Breathing Technique you possess has once again exceeded the original limitations. It is not only violent and flexible, but also possesses destruction and rebirth. It has opened up a new path for you. At this moment, you already have the potential to surpass the person who created Volibear Breathing Technique. You will have an unprecedented opportunity - to die, to live! ]

[Effect: Physical +25 (Basic, Entry-level, Skilled +0.2, Proficient +0.4, Expert +0.6, Master +0.8, Unparalleled +1, Extraordinary +2, Extraordinary I +2, Extraordinary II +3, Extraordinary III +4, Extraordinary IV +5, Extraordinary V +6)]

[Get additional mastery option 'Thunder']

[Thunderbolt: Whenever you are attacked, you will accumulate a layer of Thunderbolt. When the Thunderbolt reaches one layer, you can release a lightning chain that deals damage ranging from 'Blade' level to 'Severe' level to 1-16 people around you. When releasing Thunderbolt, some of your physical strength will be consumed. At the same time, you can also choose to release a layer of Thunderbolt to heal the 'minor, secondary , and medium damage' you have received. Both cannot be done at the same time.]

[Get additional expert option 'Charge']

[Charge: Your high will makes you as swift as thunder, consuming a layer of accumulated thunder to gain a 1500% acceleration and 28% damage reduction charge, with a charge distance of 200 meters]

[Get additional master option 'Bloodthirst']

[Bloodthirst: Blood stimulates your nerves, making you more courageous. Consume a layer of accumulated thunder. Within 8 seconds, your overall attributes will be improved by 30%, and you will ignore pain! ]

[Obtain additional unparalleled option 'Thunderbolt']

[Thunderbolt: Charge for 3 seconds, consume a certain amount of physical strength, drop a 'destroying' level lightning, hit the target, when you have 'Crazy Thunder', the charge will be reduced, each layer of 'Crazy Thunder' will reduce the charge by 1 second. When you choose yourself as the target of 'Thunderbolt', you will heal 'severe, fatal injuries']

[Get the extra extraordinary option 'Thor']

[Thor: Charge for 3 seconds, consume most of the physical strength, consume 6 layers of "Crazy Thunder", directly transform into the incarnation of thunder and lightning, eliminate all "minor, secondary, and medium negative effects" suffered by oneself, obtain thunder shield and flight ability, come with eight "Thunder" marks and eleven "Crazy Thunder" marks, when using the marks "Thunder" and "Crazy Thunder", they can be used directly without consumption and charge, and during the transformation, they have "Bloodthirst" and "Charge". When using "Crazy Thunder" and "Thunder" to heal oneself, it will receive the special effect of additional treatment level +1. The transformation lasts for 12 seconds.]

(Note 1: This secret technique has reached its peak and cannot be improved again, but you have found the direction to move forward during the baptism and the world upgrade - at this moment, it and you have both reached a certain extreme, and you can only continue)

(Note 2: Volibear's breathing method does not conflict with Steinbeck's breathing method - after reaching the extreme, the same is true, but it will make your improvement more difficult)

(Note 3: When charging, you can stop at any time and change direction)

(Note 4: The target selected by the lightning must be within your field of vision)

(Note 5: When in Transcendent V, the maximum number of "Wild Thunder" can be accumulated is 9. When 9 layers are accumulated, being attacked will not increase the "Wild Thunder" any more)

(Note 6: The Thunder Shield is judged as 'Destroy' level according to [Body], and any creature or object that passes through the Thunder Shield will suffer 'Severe' level damage, and will plunder the vitality of the passer-by, and heal itself in a continuous recovery method until the opponent gets rid of the Thunder Shield)

(Note 7: The flight ability is determined by [Physique] as being unable to exceed a height of 1,500 meters, and the speed bonus of 500% of the normal level is obtained when moving forward)

(Note 8: The transformation time of 'Thor' is 12 seconds according to [Physique]. 'Thor' can consume 'Thunder' to reduce the charging time, but the charging time must be at least 1 second)

(Note 9: When the power of "Thunderbolt" is 0, it can be considered as instant)

…

[Voliber's Breathing] has received an overall buff.

[Thunderfall] has reached the 'Destruction' level.

According to Goethe's understanding, this should be a 'titled' legendary level attack.

It also gave him an additional means of attack.

But what really surprised Goethe was the explanation and annotation of [Voliber Breathing Method].

"'Thunder Essence'?"

"To live by dying?"

"At this moment, it and I have both reached a certain extreme. All we can do is continue?"

Goethe muttered to himself.

He thought.
