Chapter 628: Prediction of the Lord of Scales and Feathers
In this short period, Amber’s impression in Eivass’s mind began to gradually dissipate.
Eivass could no longer recall the appearance of the “Amber” that had just appeared. No matter how hard he tried to recall, only the impression of the “sunset” remained in his heart, as if all he saw when he looked up was the sunset.
—Undoubtedly, that was the real Amber. Not the Pillar God simulated in the script of the Lord of Scales and Feathers.
When Eivass was talking with the Silver Crown Dragon just now, Amber was watching them.
And now, when Eivass obtained the memory of Sir Helchin, Amber suddenly rushed over and made contact with Eivass.
Although Eivass was playing Helchin, his soul was still Eivass’s own. Suddenly coming into contact with a true Pillar God during the Ascension Ritual allowed Eivass to directly inherit it and enter the First Tier.
That sudden feeling was like a socially awkward person, holding a gift like a rugby forward, launching a death charge at Eivass, throwing the gift box at his face, and then turning to run. Only a stunned Eivass was left, feeling inexplicably punched, holding the gift, not knowing what to do.
…But in conclusion, it was still a good thing.
All good things!
Especially this “clear vessel,” which was the “Water Attribute Mana Pool” that Eivass had been searching for in vain. It was also the only attribute among Eivass’s current six attributes for which he could completely fail to create a Great Sin Card.
With it, as long as he obtained the term “clear vessel” of the First Tier from elsewhere, Eivass’s water attribute mana could reach 42 points. With this level of mana, plus the colorless mana provided by the Book of Law, he could almost piece together a Great Sin Card!
“……But, Wild Hunt is also an inheritance?”
Eivass was full of questions.
He had never heard of this inheritance.
He even felt that this was like an inheritance Amber made up on the spot…
You must know that “Wild Hunt” and “King of the Wild Hunt” are completely different concepts. The latter is a World Boss, while the former is just a type of Und. It’s like “Earthbound Spirit” or “Revenant” becoming an inheritance.
Moreover, even if there truly was a Wild Hunt inheritance… As a Knight-type Und who signed a contract with the Great Philosopher, this should at least be an inheritance of the Wisdom, Authority, and Twilight Paths, and should lean more towards the Great Philosopher. And the Great Philosopher was a Pillar God who quite liked interacting with people, so logically, it should be the Great Philosopher who contacted Eivass.
But the Great Philosopher did not appear, and instead, Amber, who disliked seeing people the most, appeared…
“…Forget it, it’s an unexpected surprise anyway.”
Eivass decided not to bother with this issue for now.
Anyway, Eivass couldn’t elevate this inheritance a few tiers.
At least Eivass believed that his talent in these three Paths was not strong. This inheritance might only be elevated to level ten… or even only a few levels before hitting the cap. Even if he could forcefully raise it to advancement with experience, it would not be of much significance.
—Eivass didn’t even know how the Wild Hunt inheritance would manifest outside of the Ascension Ritual!
He was a living person with a warm body! Not that cold, ethereal Und knight who could turn into a phantom, and whose appearance would gradually freeze those around him… The skills that the Wild Hunt could use, he, as a living person, might not be able to use.
But the advantage was that inheritance was not a profession, and at least it would not occupy a sub-profession slot.
In the game, inheritanes existed as an “additional talent tree” that appeared for players in the later stages. It was similar to “skill copying” or “otherworldly talent.” Everyone could put a few points into it, or even reach the end of the inheritance… They could also reset their points, but overall, the impact was not significant.
Although in reality, inheritance might not manifest like this… However, it would not cause Eivass’s Twilight Path to deviate, so the impact was minimal—it could even be said to have only benefits.
The only problem was that Eivass originally wanted to be a Pope’s Guard. After he formally became a Cardinal, he could probably use his position to get an Oswald-like inheritance for himself…
But now, he didn’t become a Paladin, and instead suddenly became a Death Knight. He didn’t know if inheritance slots could be combined with professions.
This fate is truly unpredictable…
Eivass collected his thoughts and looked at the three options again. Undoubtedly, these were not directed at Helchin, the King of the Wild Hunt, who was a high-level Phantom Demon, but at Eivass, who was playing him.
—Although the description of “swallowing” made Eivass feel a bit uneasy, he had no other choice.
Blue-tier Path Traits were inherently useless. Whether it was Earth Attribute Elemental Affinity or Mana Pool, they were completely useless to him. The only thing he could choose was the last one.
“—Water Attribute Mana, come!”
Eivass thought to himself, and with a firm will, pressed the third option.
The only thing Eivass was thankful for was that there wasn’t actually an “Amber Egg” for Eivass to swallow. He didn’t even see any animations or phantoms before his eyes, only feeling a cool sensation suddenly come from his throat.
It felt like drinking a large gulp of ice-cold mint sparkling water on a hot summer day—a cooling line slowly slid down, from his throat to his abdomen; it was also like swallowing a piece of ice, feeling its gradually descending outline.
As this sensation gradually became familiar and dissipated, that icy and clear chill spread throughout his body.
Eivass closed his eyes, digesting the great power of Helchin, who had been transformed into the King of the Wild Hunt by the ritual.
…At this moment, Eivass finally understood the feeling Night Demons usually had.
Helchin, who was compressed to a lower level in the Material Realm as a high-level Phantom Demon, possessed a strong sense of oppression and viscosity.
It was like wearing hard calfskin boots, or like wearing a restraint suit… or rather, like walking in water that reached just below the collarbone with your hands cuffed—the greater the force you used, the stronger the phản lực you would feel. And under this crude suppression, one had to divide their attention to maintain balance, thus expending more energy than walking on land.
Of course, Night Demons were actually only level 50. And after Helchin was personally transformed into the King of the Wild Hunt by the Great Philosopher… In the game, his level was 69, the peak of the Seventh Tier. Now, he had been forcibly pushed back to level 50 by the power of the “version.” The sense of constraint that Night Demons endured was certainly not as strong as Helchin’s.
But even so…
—He was now level 50, the fully-leveled King of the Wild Hunt of the Sixth Tier!
Regardless of whether they were Heavenly Envoys or Apostles… as long as they descended to this realm, they would only be level 50 at most!
We are all level fifty, why must I lose to you?
Although Eivass originally planned to rely on the Silver Crown Dragon to get through this dungeon… it was mainly because, as a Third Tier Demon Scholar, the gap between him and “one of the strongest Apostles of the Supreme Heaven” was too great.
At that time, although Eivass was using Helchin’s body, he did not know Helchin’s martial skills. In other words, he was just a fragile shell. Having Eivass participate in this war was like “You go and deal with Tang Sanzang and his disciples.”
Knowing that he could at most be a burden to his teammates if he participated, yet still actively participating… that was not transcending the Path, but merely selfishness and foolishness. It was like in a teamwork game, when teammates were playing seriously, and one felt bored and thought that they couldn’t keep up anyway, so they deliberately caused trouble, attacked randomly, and slacked off to attract their teammates’ attention.
The Lord of Scales and Feathers, who could perceive the future, had clearly foreseen Eivass’s tendency to slack off.
He had Merlin strengthen Helchin, who, despite having the strength of the Fifth Tier, couldn’t defeat Utgarðar-Loki, the Wildfire Giant without the “Scar Branch,” in a one-on-one duel, into the fully-leveled King of the Wild Hunt, Helchin. He also had Helchin himself impart three hundred years of Elven spear techniques and grant him a few skills he could wield…
Then… let’s give it a try!
