Seeing BuBoWang's reaction, Su Xiao walked slowly to the oval building, leaned against the wall next to the door and looked inside.
The sacrificial altar is very empty, about more than 300 square meters, and is circular in shape. There are stone carvings on the edge, and names are engraved under the stone carvings. Although Su Xiao does not recognize these words, he knows the meaning of one of the names.
Wild Hunter Kefirson.
The floor of the sacrificial altar is paved with light yellow stone slabs. It is these stone slabs that give people a sense of security here.
There is a gray square stone in the center, which is engraved with black lines. Just looking at it makes people feel dizzy, and the spirit seems to be sucked into those lines.
The reason why Bu Bu Wang had that reaction just now was because there was a figure sitting on the innermost side of the sacrificial altar. He was wearing black scale armor and holding a scepter. He was the King of the Day, Erdels, who once killed Bu Bu Wang in the palace.
Wang Pang met the ruthless man who doubted his life.
As if aware of Su Xiao's gaze, the King of Day, Erdels, opened his eyes, but due to the scales on his face, his appearance could not be clearly seen.
"The living."
Erdels spoke, but he did not stand up, but just sat on the tall stone chair.
Su Xiao hesitated for a moment and then entered the sacrificial altar through the main entrance. He did not feel any hostility from the King of Day.
"We... have met before, and it was you who let Sayato sit on the throne."
The King of Day's voice was a little muffled due to his mask. He let go of the scepter in his hand, and the scepter stood in place.
"Go back. There is no hope here. Coexistence is the best way. We are betrayers, betrayers of the Dead City."
After saying this, the King of Day closed his eyes, and the armor on his body gradually turned gray and turned into a stone sculpture.
Obviously, the King of Day has not been completely assimilated into the City of Silence, because he was not a resident here originally. He became what he is now only because of the responsibility of the Adegesh bloodline.
From the perspective of the empire, the Day King Erdels is almost a saint. He is full of ideals, but in order to allow mankind to continue to live in peace for three hundred years, he gave up everything and sat on the throne.
[Tip: The hunter has entered the safe area, the sacrificial altar.]
[Please do not take the initiative to attack the King of Day, Erdels, as this behavior will bring huge risks. 】
[The sacrificial altar has been activated. Hunters can use the dark star stone in the center to improve their natural abilities. This is a technology left over from the Kingdom of Mordia and is extremely rare. 】
[Every time you activate the Dark Star Stone, you need to consume 5% of the source of darkness. Each talent can be upgraded up to 4 times, and the number of upgrades has been 0/8. The intensity of improvement is determined by the potential of the talent. 】
…
After confirming that the sacrificial altar was not in danger, Su Xiao came to the dark star stone, which was a piece of square stone covered with black lines. This thing was one meter high and looked like stone, but was actually the core of a certain star.
Both Emmu and Veroni entered the sacrificial altar. Only Bubo Wang was still a little frightened. He hesitated for a while before entering the sacrificial altar tremblingly.
Click~
The stone-carved King of the Day opened one eye, and Bubuwang was so frightened that he ran to Su Xiao's side and stuck close to Su Xiao. It looked at the King of the Day with a clear look, don't touch me, I am wrong.
Use the toughest eyes to express the most cowardly meaning, this is what Bubo Wang can do.
Su Xiao didn't pay attention to the 'friendly' exchange between Bubo Wang and the King of Day. He raised his hand and pressed it on the Dark Star Stone, and a black energy emerged out of thin air and sank into the Dark Star Stone.
[You have consumed 5% of the source of darkness.]
[Please select the required upgrade talent, Soul Eater (S level)/Blood Beast (SSS level). 】
As soon as Su Xiao chose to upgrade to Soul Eater, the sudden severe pain caused his whole body to lose strength. After stabilizing his body, he sat cross-legged in front of the Dark Star Stone.
Su Xiao's current feeling was very similar to when he first awakened the Soul Eater talent. Something in his body seemed to be broken down inch by inch, became stronger, and then came back together.
The severe pain made time become long. I don't know how long it took before Su Xiao, who was covered in cold sweat, came back to his senses.
"Hoo~"
Su Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, and the veins on his neck popped out. After checking his natural ability, the corners of his eyes twitched. It was not that the improvement effect was not good, but that it was very good. But he had to experience the feeling just now three times. No, he had gained a total of
27.9% of the source of darkness can upgrade Soul Eater four times, and the remaining source of darkness can also upgrade Blood Beast once.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao pressed her hand on the Dark Star Stone again...
Two hours later, Su Xiao stared straight ahead. It took him a few seconds to come back to his senses. During this period, he was thinking about one thing, that is, if he had such an experience with a relatively mild talent like "Soul Eater", then
What would it be like to ascend the Blood Beast?
After leveling up the Soul Eater four times in a row, Su Xiao could intuitively feel the changes in this talent. Although this was not a second awakening talent, it could still be considered a small awakening.
【Soul Eater】
Category: Killing talent (awakened once)
Level: s (the highest level for the first awakening)
Talent effect (passive): After killing the target, 1 to 50 mana points will be permanently taken away (the upper limit is increased by 20 points), and the same amount of mana and health points will be restored (for example: after killing the enemy, 50 mana points will be permanently added,
Will restore 50 points of mana and health).
Tip: Each derived world can permanently increase mana by up to 400 points (the upper limit is increased by 200 points). If the mana taken reaches the upper limit, Soul Eater will be fully activated, and the recovery effect after killing the enemy will be increased by 50%.
…
The Soul Eater's strength is doubled. If the battle is fierce, each world can increase mana by 400 points, and the recovery effect is also increased by nearly half.
Su Xiao was somewhat looking forward to what changes the Soul Eater would have after its second awakening. The awakening talent was different from the permanent improvement talent. The former was a change in nature, while the latter was an increase in existing strength.
After the break, Su Xiao pressed his hand on the Dark Star Stone again. This time he wanted to improve the blood beast's natural ability.
boom!
The blood energy exploded with Su Xiao as the center point, blowing the hair of Bubo Wang, but Bubo Wang had no reaction. It had long been used to it.
Bubo Wang didn't react, but Veroni was different. She subconsciously took a few steps back, her pupils gradually tightened, and she was looking at Su Xiao with astonishment. The thought in her heart was: "What kind of person did I enter the City of Death with?"
, have I lived enough?”
The blood visible to the naked eye filled the sacrificial altar, and even spread out from the window, forming a bloody beast above the sacrificial altar, roaring to the sky.
…
On the outskirts of the Deadly City, near the Ring River, there is a church roof. An old man covered in blood is lying on the roof. Near him, there is also a corpse, that is a little girl with black hair.
, with wounds all over his body in tatters.
The old magic stick moved his blood-stained fingers, and he slowly sat up. The skin on his face was gray and even cracked.
"Have you arrived at the center? I want to...as soon as possible."
The old magic stick stood up and looked behind him, seeing a large area of corpses of the residents of Silent City.
With a click, the long-handled knife in the old magic stick's hand shortened, and the jagged blade was covered with blood and minced meat. The old magic stick was once a hunter, a hunter who had received ice therapy.
The old magic stick holding a saw blade in one hand and a metal book in the other jumped from the roof. The book recorded all the monsters he had hunted, but on the last page, the record was actually him.
Mad Hunter Ken Lahan.
…
Nearly half an hour later, in the sacrificial altar, Su Xiao stood up full of blood. Seeing his appearance, Veroni felt a little bad.
"Otherwise, let's run away first. Something seems wrong with him."
"Wow~ (You are thinking too much)."
Bubuwang tilted his head. Not to mention Su Xiao in this state, he had seen Su Xiao who had just returned from the ancient battlefield and was completely eroded by blood. That was terrifying.
"The next destination is the Palace of Birth."
Su Xiao breathed out blood. He had been near the Palace of Birth before, but he did not go in because the most terrifying resident of the Dead City was there, the Black King Adegesh who had been completely assimilated.
And now, Su Xiao is going to kill the former king. He has searched everywhere he can. The last piece of the Black King suit was either obtained in the Hall of Birth or in the Supreme Sanctuary.
"Cukulin, if you go to the Palace of Birth, count me in."
An old man wearing a long dark brown leather coat with mottled bloodstains on the leather coat was leaning against the front door. There was a saw knife standing next to his feet. The skin on his face had some cracks and his head was full of gray hair. He looked tough.
Bloodthirsty.
"It's just...so handsome."
Seeing the old magician like this, Veroni muttered. Suddenly, she felt like she was the most salty person.
