Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 135 Sequence 7 Noble (8,000 words, please subscribe)
Chapter 134

Count Fritz's castle was not as difficult to infiltrate as Rosen had imagined.

Because this is also an alchemical castle, even inferior to his alchemical castle transformed by mechanical spirits.

It's clear that Count Fritz is the kind of divine lord who prefers to take the initiative and attack.

Therefore, most of the resources were used to train the civilian soldiers, and the Wolf Pack Adventurer Group was basically the main fighting force of the Divine Realm territory.

The Wolf Pack Adventure Team is now almost completely wiped out, and the Divine Realm territory is also in its weakest state.

Rosen quickly approached the heart of the castle in the shadows, where the ancient trees, the spiritual manifestations of Count Fritz, surely resided.

However, just as he approached the room where the ancient tree of the sequence was located, he suddenly stepped aside.

The metal wall was smashed through from the inside, and a knight clad in heavy armor rushed out of the room.

Rosen was just a hair's breadth away from being smashed against the corridor wall by the knight.

"A Guardian Knight of Sequence 7?"

Rosen's heart sank slightly.

It is obvious that this Sequence 7 Guardian Knight is Count Fritz's last protector.

With this guardian knight blocking his way, it became much more difficult for him to take down the half-dead Count Fritz.

The guardian knight did not continue attacking, but retreated back into the room instantly.

Through the hole in the wall, Rosen saw the sequence of ancient trees in the room and Count Fritz's body being reconstructed next to them.

The entire room was completely enveloped by a three-dimensional, miniature castle-like golden barrier.

At the heart of this barrier are the Guardian Knights, a special sequence created specifically for the Lords of the Divine Realm.

It has almost no offensive capabilities, but its defensive abilities are terrifyingly strong.

The guardian knight's crashing through the wall was merely a commotion to warn other extraordinary beings within the territory.

Rosen instantly deployed a trap space, releasing a spatial trap with built-in shadow-遁 (Shadow Escape) ability. The trap enveloped the entire space and teleported to the guardian knight's feet. However, the activated spatial teleportation did not send the guardian knight away.

This guardian knight somehow managed to merge his power with the entire room using some kind of skill.

Unless a spatial trap can separate the entire room from the castle and teleport it away together, it is impossible to move the guardian knight away alone.

Although the transfer failed, the spatial trap still has the ability to decompose space.

The defensive barrier surrounding the guardian knight, resembling a miniature castle, was now crumbling under the influence of spatial disintegration.

However, the speed at which the barrier collapsed was nowhere near the speed at which the guardian knight could repair the defensive barrier.

Rosen summoned Nightmare Slimes and Gray Rats, tasking them with intercepting the enemy units that were on their way.

He then released the Gluttonous Beast and activated the LV3 Nightmare Shackles.

[Nightmare Shackles LV3: Can manipulate spirituality to transform into Nightmare Shackles]

[Enhanced Trait: Nightmare Shackles possesses enhanced sealing properties]

The Nightmare Shackles, upgraded to LV3, possesses even stronger sealing properties.

However, the biggest change is that the sharing ability has been further enhanced, and it is now possible to tame a third magical pet.

With nightmare slimes and gray rats already in the mix, Rosen's appetite has grown.

He looked down on them to some extent because they didn't have the potential to become demigods.

The Nightmare Shackles instantly slipped from his grasp and continued to extend, wrapping around and sealing the barrier constructed by the Guardian Knight.

At the same time, the Gluttonous Beast was also integrated into the Nightmare Shackles.

Although both the Gluttonous Beast and the Nightmare Shackles are composed of spiritual energy, they cannot normally be fused together.

However, Rosen also possesses the spiritual attachment to the painter sequence, and the enhanced harmonizing properties can fuse spiritual powers of different attributes.

Therefore, he incorporated the gluttonous and greedy attributes of the Gluttonous Beast into the Nightmare Shackles through enhancement and harmonization.

At this moment, alluring lips began to grow on the Nightmare Shackles, and when these lips opened, they revealed a terrifyingly dense array of teeth.

Countless charming little mouths pressed against the protective barrier, beginning to frantically tear at the energy within it.

Simply overeating is not enough to break the energy barrier.

Therefore, Rosen also attached the Spatial Sacred Flame to the Nightmare Shackles, giving the teeth in his small mouth the power to decompose space. When the energy barrier was torn apart by spatial decomposition, he immediately used greed to forcibly seize control of this energy and take it for himself.

Finally, use Gluttony to devour the protective barrier with unstoppable force.

The guardian knight, shrouded in heavy armor, felt for the first time that he might not be able to hold out.

In conjunction with the Nightmare Shackles, Rosen also continuously fired bolts from the Godslayer Crossbow.

The Godslayer Crossbow increases base damage by 40%, and Death Strike further amplifies final damage by 220%.

Rosen's casual attacks deal triple damage. If you also consider the ash armor penetration that pierces through the enemy's defense, this triple damage is almost like real damage in the game. Even if the Guardian Knight's defense is maxed out, he won't be able to withstand it for long.

As a crossbow bolt pierced the protective barrier, the Nightmare Shackles also entangled and shattered it.

As the shackles of nightmares tightened around him, the guardian knight resolutely unleashed his strongest protection.

His heavy armor instantly fell off, then he etherealized and merged into the regenerating Count Fritz's body.

Immediately afterwards, the guardian knight's entire body began to burn, turning into ashes and merging all his life force into his spirituality.

Finally, the guardian knight, who had completely transformed into a spirit, merged into his heavy armor and used his life to protect Count Fritz.

Rosen fired a crossbow bolt, but the miraculous ability of Ash Armor Break didn't penetrate the defense.

This Sequence 7 Guardian Knight, by sacrificing himself, actually elevated his guardian abilities to the ultimate level of Sequence 6.

Even a Sequence 5 would probably not be able to destroy the current heavy armor in a short time.

This is why almost all lords of the divine realm train guardian knights.

Count Fritz's suicide and resurrection at this crucial moment were also thanks to this guardian knight.

However, this did not stump Rosen, who simply took out a beehive from the Divine Realm territory.

After nine rounds of synthesis, this ordinary hive has become a Sequence 9 unit building.

The Ash Bee Queen of Sequence 9 can directly produce Ash Bees of Sequence 9.
So far, the number of Ash Bees accumulated there has exceeded one hundred.

At this moment, all the Ash Bees left the hive, channeling all their armor-piercing power into their stingers.

Hundreds of Ash Bees frantically stab at the heavy armor with their stingers. At least dozens of Ash Bees exhausted their life force and withered away. However, the life-protecting heavy armor, which could withstand the Sequence 5 for a period of time, was also torn open in the process.

Rosen shoved the muzzle of the Godslayer Crossbow directly into the gap and fired a shot that blew Count Fritz's head off.

The Divine Realm can resurrect a lord who has died, but it cannot resurrect a lord who has already died a second time.

Rosen's shot, in particular, not only headshot but also pierced through the Sequence Tree.

Moreover, the bullet in this shot only causes physical damage; the spiritual artwork that condenses into the bullet is a work of art from the mind.

Therefore, with a single shot, the spirituality of the ancient trees that make up the sequence is severely damaged.

Once the Sequence Tree is severely damaged, its control over the divine territory will naturally be lost.

All the buildings in the entire territory were partially paralyzed, unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Radiant Lighthouse. Seeing that the outcome was already decided, Rosen ordered Kuroro and the others to invade Count Fritz's divine territory to prepare for the final battle.

Half an hour later, Count Fritz could no longer see a single living person.

All the inhabitants were slaughtered, and all the extraordinary plants they cultivated and the extraordinary creatures they kept were taken away.

Finally, after the lord's castle shrank and moved away, it became a growth resource for the Alchemy Castle's evolution sequence 8.

The same was true for the Wizard Tower; in the end, even the spiritual soil in the entire territory was dug up.

Rosen then delivered the final blow, completely destroying the Sequence Tree and extinguishing Count Fritz's last chance of survival.

At the moment the divine realm was destroyed, a ball of light appeared in Rosen's scavenging space.

This puzzled him, as far as he knew, there were no additional benefits to territorial wars.
The resources that were dug up and taken away were already the biggest gains from the territory war.

Aside from that, there shouldn't be any other gains, right?
Rosen couldn't wait to return to his divine territory. Through the Spirit Realm Watchtower, he witnessed Count Fritz's divine territory gradually disappear like a mirage. Only then did he eagerly retrieve the last fallen orb of light from his scavenging space.

Then, a ball of seven-colored light appeared in his hand, and at first glance, Rosen thought that he had lost his divinity.

However, upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a territory trait, and after fusion, the divine realm territory can inherit this territory trait.

Rosen turned on the main computer to try and identify the relevant information.

It turns out that this thing was able to drop because it met three special conditions.

First, Sequence 7 wiped out Sequence 6; second, besides being a nobleman, he was also a hunter; and finally, and most importantly, he possessed the talent of greed.

The Greed talent enhances hunting ability; even when destroying inanimate objects, there is a very low chance of loot dropping.

Rosen immediately integrated the seven-colored light into his sequence ancient tree, gaining the special territory characteristic of Fate Perception.

Normally, only directors and screenwriters should be able to obtain this territorial property.

The ability to sense destiny not only enhances the early warning capabilities of the spirit world watchtower, but can even predict the approximate time of an attack by spirit beings.

With this territorial feature, Rosen no longer needed to worry about spirit beings attacking his territory.

Rosen continued to take out orbs of light from the scavenging space; these were orbs that normally dropped after killing extraordinary beings.

Defeating the Guardian Knight of Sequence 7 will drop the rare skill crystal, Life Guardian.

After defeating Count Fritz, you obtained a special noble sequence skill crystal, as well as a Source Essence Extraordinary Artifact that fused with the playwright's extraordinary Source Essence.

Put away the Life Guardian and save it for later to train Guardian Knights.

Rosen glanced at the Noble Rank Skill Crystal and prepared to learn the skill without hesitation.

However, there are no skill slots available at Noble Sequence 8; the only way to learn a skill is to advance to Sequence 7.

Even without this skill crystal, Rosen was already planning to advance his Noble Rank to Rank 7.

Although Count Fritz was dead, his methods of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own had not completely failed.

Rosen's spiritual threshold still shows no signs of improving, as it is constantly on the verge of falling from 25 points back to 24 points.

The fact that it hasn't worsened so far is entirely due to the fact that the innate greed has barely managed to stabilize the scattered spirituality.

However, this is only a temporary solution; to completely get rid of it, it is best to increase one's spiritual strength again.

Upon returning to reality, Rosen immediately used his spirituality and noble, extraordinary qualities to communicate with the spirit world.

His spirit was drawn into the spirit world, where he saw the ancient tree of the noble lineage for the third time.

Golden leaves drifted down from the ancient tree of sequence, merging with Lawson's noble and extraordinary essence to give birth to the professional powers of sequence 7.

[Bloodline Awakening: Noble Rank 7 Class Authority]

[Attribute: Bloodline Awakening can further unlock extraordinary bloodlines, thereby entering a bloodline reversion state for a short period of time]

Bloodline Awakening is a profession ability that Rosen is very familiar with.

Baron Carman, who killed Gray Rat back then, possessed the professional power of Bloodline Awakening.

Through bloodline awakening, Baron Kaman's Dimensional Cat form can transform directly from a child to its peak adult form.

This is a professional power that can be both passive and active, making it most suitable for nobles in the gourmet category.

Before Rosen could feel any changes in himself, the Nightmare Slime had already begun to change.

The original talent of devouring nightmares disappeared, and was replaced by a brand new talent born after bloodline awakening.

[Sloth LV3 - Able to escape reality and gradually take control of the mental world below Sequence 3]

Rosen is now completely certain that the Nightmare Slime is related to the power of the Seven Deadly Sins of the Demon race.

Consuming nightmares leads to laziness, and the original, subtle power to enhance one's spirituality by eating nightmares is gone.

But the laziness of newborns is infinitely stronger than the devouring of nightmares.

First, he escapes reality. By using laziness, Rosen can instantly enter the spirit world from reality and instantly enter the spirit realm he has designated. Once he masters this ability, he can freely enter the spiritual world from the material world.

Even if he enters a spirit realm below sequence 3, he can gradually gain partial access to that spirit realm.

That's not all; laziness can also enhance mental skills such as the Mind Canvas.

Rosen is still unsure of the exact extent of the increase.

With a skill slot available at Sequence 7, Rosen didn't hesitate to refine the skill crystal dropped by Count Fritz.

[Honorary Sage: The Noble Rank allows you to convert acquired knowledge into proficiency in corresponding skills]

The noble skill "Glory Sage" is one of the extended skills of the professional authority "Knowledgeable".

This is an extremely rare skill, and combining the two can rapidly increase the level of almost all skills.

The nine extraordinary sequences of human skills initially did not have the concept of proficiency.

The reason is simple: all skills were actually at max level from the beginning.

Taking Death Strike as an example, when you learn it, the Death Strike fused with the extraordinary source essence is actually LV6.

The performance is only LV1, which is only because the spiritual strength is not strong enough and the control over the skills is not good enough.

Therefore, a LV6 skill is only used as a LV1 skill.

Subsequent skill level upgrades are simply about unlocking the power of these skills themselves.

When the hunter reaches sequence 4, Death Strike is upgraded to LV6.

At this point, the potential of Death Strike has been exhausted. If you want to continue to improve the skill level, you need to independently study relevant knowledge to improve the skill level of Death Strike. Otherwise, Death Strike will stop at LV6.

Simply put, before reaching demigod status and skill level 7, the extraordinary sequence is in the stage of learning and applying what one has learned.

After reaching demigod level 7, the extraordinary sequence enters a phase of innovation and forging its own unique future.

Possessing extensive knowledge and the title of a sage can enable nobles to embark on the path of innovation ahead of time.

It not only makes unlocking the existing potential of skills very fast, but it can even digitize the process of unlocking skill potential.

In the future, when skills are upgraded to LV6 or higher, the combination of these two factors can significantly reduce the difficulty of skill progression.
