Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 119 Dimensional Concealment
Chapter 118

After spending a few days in Blue Whale City, Rosen sold his property in Sea Dragon City without hesitation.

Instead, they purchased new property in Blue Whale Royal City, which is far superior to ordinary cities in every aspect.

After moving to Blue Whale Royal City, Rosen managed his two identities—noble and hunter—separately.

Rosen Howard, this identity no longer conceals that he is the Lord of the Divine Realm.

Because in addition to his hereditary title of Lord, he now also holds a non-hereditary earldom.

As for how the title came about, it was conveniently attributed to the mysterious disappearance of Rosen's parents.

With the title of Earl, it makes perfect sense to develop the divine territory ahead of schedule.

Although the territory's current inhabitants are mainly from the Spirit Realm, it is impossible for all of the territory's inhabitants to come from the Spirit Realm in the future. A small number of people can be converted using extraordinary dwellings, while the large number of people will eventually have to be recruited from the real world.

So ever since he moved to Blue Whale Royal City, Rosen has frequently visited other nobles and attended various banquets.

Gradually, the noble circles of the Blue Whale Kingdom all knew that a young Sequence 8 noble count had arrived in the royal city.

With this noble title, even if I do nothing, I'll eventually reach Sequence 6.

This might not be considered high-ranking in the Blue Whale Kingdom, but it's definitely a core group.

Therefore, many minor and middle-class nobles were happy to befriend Rosen, and he successfully integrated into the noble circle, truly becoming a nobleman.

While the real Rosen was busy, his self-portrait clone was also working hard to maintain his identity as Lynn Wells, the hunter.

A Sequence 8 pet hunter, a genius hunter with the ability to challenge Sequence 7 hunters.

However, he came from an ordinary background and left the Duchy of Blazing Shadow in the same batch as Earl Rosen. They had some acquaintance, but the relationship was not deep. He was unknown in noble circles, but gradually became famous in the Hunter's Guild.

Because of his repeated entries into the Spirit Realm, Lynn Wells displayed astonishing combat prowess.

Rosen managed to juggle two identities with great success.

Initially, he was worried that the actor's mask wouldn't be able to fool the high-sequence extraordinary beings of the Sea Dragon King City.

However, with the guidance of the gray rat, Rosen successfully enhanced the disguise effect of the actor's mask.

If an actor wears a mask on their own face, it can indeed be seen through by those with higher sequences.

However, the actor's mask, worn on the face of the self-portrait clone, was so seamless that even high-sequence individuals would have difficulty detecting it.

In addition, Lynn Wells, being a hunter, has never hidden his remarkable skills in disguise and makeup.

Even if a high-order sequence discovers that Lynn Wells is in disguise, at most they will only think that Lynn Wells is impersonating someone else, and will not think that Rosen and Lynn are actually the same person.

Although we become two people in life, we are inseparable in our spiritual practice.

Rosen himself paints during the day and consumes nightmares at night, constantly enhancing his spiritual strength.

The self-portrait clone was not idle either, constantly entering the spiritual realm to hunt. The more prey it killed, the faster the hunting divine authority promoted spiritual growth. In this way, the main body and the clone worked together, and its growth rate was more than five times faster than a normal Sequence 8.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Rosen's spiritual strength has gradually increased from 19 points to 20 points.

At this point, Rosen realized that he needed to focus on improving his skill proficiency.

Why now? Because the best way to quickly improve skill proficiency is to hire a private coach. However, under a private coach's guidance, the strength or weakness of one's skills is hard to hide from their discerning eye.

If the Spiritual Strength continues to grow to 21 points, then the skills released will not be at the level that a Sequence 8 hunter should have, since the maximum Spiritual Strength for a Sequence 8 hunter is 20 points.

So the day after his spiritual strength reached 20 points, Rosen had already hired several private trainers.

Shadowmeld, Death Strike, and Extraordinary Senses are all just a hair's breadth away from LV3.

Actually, if you think about it yourself, breaking through to LV3 isn't that difficult.

However, Rosen still chose to hire the best private instructors. Although these instructors were only at Sequence 7 at most, they had studied various skills of the Hunter Sequence for decades or even centuries. Their mastery of skills below Sequence 7 was unmatched by many Sequence 4 hunters.

Given Rosen's extraordinary skills, several private trainers designed the best evolutionary path for him.

By absorbing some shadow-attribute spiritual crystals, Shadowmeld can easily be upgraded to LV3.

However, this is not the best option; such an upgraded Shadow Cloak is just a very ordinary Shadow Cloak.

If one chooses to master the extraordinary essence of a transcendent being with abilities similar to Shadow Cloak, and carefully refines a special shadow attribute spiritual crystal, then combines it with some rare treasures of the shadow attribute, one can completely transform Shadow Cloak during upgrades.

For example, what was originally Shadow Escape might evolve into Void Shadow Escape.

The former is shadow, the latter is a combination of space and shadow.

Void Shadow is definitely more powerful; it's essentially an upgrade to the skill's core.

Of course, Shadowmeld at LV3 cannot become Void Shadowmeld; it must be at least LV4. All extraordinary skills undergo a fundamental transformation and enhancement at LV4 and LV7.

Therefore, this upgrade of Shadowmeld from LV2 to LV3 is only to lay the most solid foundation for the transformation to LV4.

As a result, Rosen had to spend an extremely high price to purchase a Dimensional Cat Extraordinary Source Essence from the Kingdom of Blazing Shadow.

This is the difference in experience; the skill instructors in the Blazing Shadow Kingdom are far inferior to the private tutors in the Blue Whale Kingdom.

If he had known that the Dimensional Cats were compatible with his Shadow Cloak, he would have obtained some of the Dimensional Cats' extraordinary essence when he left the Blazing Shadow Duchy.

After obtaining the extraordinary source material, Rosen directly used his Gluttony ability to forcibly digest it.

Then, the essence digested was fused with the shadow attribute spiritual crystal, and finally the fused spiritual power was injected into the Shadow Escape skill within the hunter's extraordinary essence, successfully upgrading Shadow Escape from LV2 to LV3.

[Shadow Cloak LV3: Allows you to instantly blend into the surrounding shadows and move at high speed within them, as well as teleport within the shadows. Damage taken while in the shadows is greatly reduced, and damage dealt will be inflicted with a certain amount of shadow attribute damage.]

[Enhanced Trait: Dimensional Concealment - Greatly improves the user's stealth abilities, with a certain probability of merging into the dimensional space]

Rosen ultimately chose to enhance his existing traits rather than acquire new ones.

He now understands that no matter how many new features there are, they can't compare to enhanced features.

Only those in the lower ranks who cannot see the future will pursue more new skills and characteristics.

Of course, there is a limit to how much you can enhance a trait. When you have enhanced it to its maximum, that is the best time to choose a new trait. Or, if the trait you initially obtained has no potential for enhancement, then obtaining a new trait and enhancing that new trait is also an option.

There is no fixed path to developing extraordinary skills; only by forging your own path can you avoid becoming just another face in the crowd.
