Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 226 Successful Promotion
In the tomb, Lewis tasted the wine and dried meat he brought with him, waiting for the moment of fate to arrive.

Here, external disasters can hardly affect him, and only occasional collapse accidents can threaten his life safety.

His hand holding the wine glass suddenly stopped in mid-air, and his brows furrowed:

"I feel like something is trying to divine me. If I exert some influence on it, as long as the other party's status is not far higher than mine, it will not be able to use divination to find me."

Using his own anti-divination properties, Lewis caused a certain degree of interference to the divination. He walked around in the tomb and observed the situation nearby.

If the promotion ceremony is disturbed by outsiders, it is likely to cause a chain reaction, leading to the ultimate failure of the promotion.

“The emblem that symbolizes the Amon family has been damaged, and this tomb has lost its original function. I must be careful about someone breaking in or causing damage.

Although I am sure that my life will not be in danger, I don't want anyone to disrupt my promotion ceremony."

Lewis opened his pocket watch and took a look. 24 hours had passed since he first arrived. As long as he could hold on for another 24 hours, the opportunity for promotion would appear.

……

Boris asked around in Trier and determined the location where Lewis finally got off the carriage through the answers of passers-by.

The sky was always covered with dark clouds that could not be dispersed. Thunder, lightning and rain were like the wrath of the Lord of Storms, pouring down continuously and attacking a small hill.

"What an exaggerated phenomenon, but because of this, I can find him even without divination."

Boris put away the yellow crystal pendant he was using for divination. He didn't know what kind of extraordinary person Lewis was, so he was extremely cautious in doing things.

The monkey stood on Boris' shoulder and walked with him towards the center of the lightning, trembling.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck nearby, Boris' body went numb, and he fell straight down.

After a few seconds, he climbed out of the puddle and shook off the dirty water on his body.

"What exactly is Lewis Harvey doing? Is it a ritual to summon the Lord of Storms?" Boris glanced at the sky, feeling a little heavier unconsciously.

The opponent was slightly stronger than he had imagined. The lightning that kept falling seemed to imply how powerful Lewis was. Just one strike would be enough to seriously injure a transcendent of his level.

After all, before being promoted to demigod, the power of extraordinary people is still within the scope of understanding. Most of them will be injured if hit by a rifle, and will die if caught in a natural disaster.

He always dared to walk only outside the lightning, which slowed down the progress a lot. But even so, he was often struck by lightning, and he seemed particularly unlucky.

After a few hours, Boris finally found the entrance to the crypt. He felt a little relieved, pushed open the stone door engraved with "Welcome", and walked in.

There are metal candlesticks on both sides of the corridor. Some of the candles on the candlesticks have burned out, while some still have some candles left.

Boris wasn't stupid enough to light a candle, darkness was where his strength lay.

"Lewis is not here. I don't sense any ill intentions from him, which means he hasn't discovered me yet."

Suddenly, a metal candlestick collapsed without warning. It hit a protruding stone during the fall and bounced onto Boris' head.

"Tough luck!"

Boris touched the back of his head. Although he could sense malicious intent, he had no resistance to such unexpected accidents.

The next moment, another metal candlestick came loose, and Boris was hit again. "Why am I so unlucky? This is not normal!"

After being hit several times in succession, Boris began to be cautious and saw that the top of the tunnel began to show signs of collapse.

"Find Lewis and eat him as quickly as possible to obtain the monarch's blessing."

A sticky black liquid dripped down Boris's face, and his body gradually melted completely, leaving only a pool of black liquid.

But the pool of black liquid seemed to have life, flowing quickly towards the gate at the end of the corridor.

Soon, the liquid entered the tunnel gate. Boris solidified a head and saw Lewis looking down at him. The other party's malicious intent instantly emerged in his mind:
“Wait a moment, Lewis will take out a golden finger bone and summon the Sun Holy Water to cause damage to me.”

"No! He changed his mind. He was going to directly summon fire and burn me."

"That's not right! He was going to shoot me with a revolver. The bullet was engraved with a talisman from the sun realm, which has a strong inhibitory effect on me..."

The two remained in a stalemate for more than a minute. Lewis stared at the pool of black liquid and sighed silently.

The predicted scenes of the future changed again and again. It was obvious that the devil could see through his thoughts and restrained his attacks accordingly.

"I can't wait any longer. This demon is stirring up my desires. When my desires are stirred to a certain extent, they will explode and seriously injure me."

Suddenly, an extremely strange scene appeared in front of Lewis. He stepped back for a distance and silently prayed:

“A magical item that belongs only to Lewis Harvey;
The key to the light hidden in spirituality;
The great power to rewrite the course of fate..."

As the divination statement ended, the dark liquid gradually formed a human shape, and Boris appeared in front of Lewis.

"What have you done to me?" Boris's face was ferocious. He roared, and bat-like wings and goat horns grew out at the same time. He was transforming into a demon.

Lewis snapped his fingers, and Boris's demonic transformation faded away, his body twisting and deforming.

"For demons, submission to the strong is an unchanging rule. So, you are submitting to me because I have qualities that are much higher than yours."

"Snapped……"

Boris exploded, his flesh and blood splattered everywhere, staining the walls and floor of the tomb with large patches of crimson.

Lewis was no exception, the smelly black liquid covered his entire body.

However, he did not care about this little thing, but was surprised that he was able to obtain the power of the Mother Tree of Desire.

"As I guessed, I myself was not contaminated by the Mother Tree of Desire. What was actually contaminated was the Key of Light in my body."

The next moment, he walked to the corner and rummaged through his suitcase. He took out the "Winner" potion from the suitcase and drank it in one gulp.

There was no special feeling in the body, as if the potion had no side effects at all, and everything was so natural.

This is "fate". As long as he finds the most suitable node of fate, there is no such thing as losing control after taking the potion, even if he has not met the requirements of the ritual mentioned by Blau.
