Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 183 Demigod Assassination and Twin Daggers

Chapter 182

In the Sky Garden Fairy Gallery, Rosen put down the last painting he had copied.

The vast majority of spiritual paintings are actually inferior to his.

However, he still diligently spent five years copying all the paintings in the gallery.

Because different paintings contain different spiritualities, and different paintings contain different artistic conceptions.

At first, Rosen simply copied the designs.

However, as his Mind Canvas and Painting Skills improved to LV5, although no new characteristics were born under his suppression, he still gained a deeper understanding of the essence of each painting, thus transforming from simple copying to perfect copying.

What constitutes perfect copying?
The answer lies in completely copying everything from the paper and paint to the painting techniques, and even the spirit infused into the painting.

Rosen possesses the ability to replicate human figures through painting, and his ability to perfectly imitate others grants him a spiritual level of perfect imitation skills.

Therefore, the spirituality he infused into the spiritual paintings he copied was almost identical to that of the original owner of the painting.

Such perfect imitations would make it difficult even for the original owner to distinguish which of the spiritual paintings was fake.

Rosen's pursuit of perfect imitation was certainly not for the purpose of perfect forgery.

Instead, it is through this method that one's spiritual paintings reach the pinnacle of realism.

An ordinary spiritual painting depicts a bird, and even if the bird in the painting is summoned, the spirituality contained within the bird is the painter's own spirituality, not the spirituality of a real bird. Therefore, no matter how realistic the painting is, it is still fake.

But now, when Rosen paints a bird, he can perfectly mimic the spirit of a bird by infusing it with his own spirit.

The bird drawn this way is undoubtedly more realistic than the former.

For painters, this means taking another step closer to mastering the divine power of creation.

Rosen has already grasped the power of creation, so now he is enhancing his control.

In addition, if he were to paint portraits of Death's Judgment again in the future, he could perfectly imitate the spirituality of the target, which would greatly enhance the cursing power of Death's Judgment, and even be able to curse and kill extraordinary beings of Sequence 5 at Sequence 6.

Finally, through repeated perfect imitations, Rosen's own drawing speed also increased.

So even though his spirituality remains unchanged at 47 points after five years, he is completely different from what he was five years ago.

Rosen closed the Void Album, turned around, and left the Elf Gallery without looking back.

He can gain nothing more here. Next, he will use the seven years of experience to complete a painting of a spiritual realm.

The historical traces of life spirits from tens of thousands of years ago, after being drawn into a spirit realm painting, reached a level of Sequence 2.

Rosen certainly couldn't draw it out, but he might be able to extract a portion and draw it.

As the ashes glowed in the afterglow, he noticed that as the war continued, the Life Spirits had also brought out their trump cards, including several War Trees, a special plant-based supernatural building capable of mass-producing troops.

In this day and age, very few of the Ancient Trees of War remain, except for a handful from a few elven civilizations outside the human world.

Because the Mother Tree of Life is gone, it is no longer possible to cultivate new War Trees.

Rosen set his sights on the barracks built around a Sequence 6 War Tree. He couldn't draw the complete life elf civilization, but drawing a section of the barracks was no challenge for him, just like when he drew a section of the library on his own back then.

However, this time, while creating the painting, he also planned to elevate it to a spiritual realm artwork.

The best materials used in the drawing process are the remains of the Mother Tree of Life.

Rosen plans to travel across the Holy Continent to see if there are any other elven temples buried underground by giant gods. He hopes that he can not only obtain the embers of a new elven civilization, but also harvest incredibly valuable materials from the Mother Tree of Life.

Finding something is one thing, but how you find it is crucial.

Rosen believed that the World Government must have already discovered the elven temples built by giants that remained on the Holy Continent.

Therefore, the vast majority of the Elf Temples should have already fallen into the hands of the World Government.

He was looking for a fish that had slipped through the net, a task no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

So this time, we'll probably have to rely on the Pocket of Miracles.

Rosen arrived at the treasure vault of the Wood Elf Duchy, having already contacted the Wood Elf Queen beforehand.

There are no guards, for the treasure is within the inner world of the Tree of Life.

Rosen took a small piece of damaged wood from the treasure vault. Although it was only the size of a thumb, there were only a few pieces in the entire Wood Elf Duchy. Even if it wasn't the precious heartwood, this thing was still a superb material with a quality of Sequence 1.

After receiving the item, Rosen immediately tossed it into the Miracle Pocket and began to infuse it with the power of the flame of civilization.

He didn't know how to measure his own fortune in the past, but as the embers of the life spirit civilization were ignited by the firewood, the power of the Miracle Fire was further activated in the process. Only then did he realize that his fortune had already been integrated into the Miracle Fire.

The stronger his luck, the more vibrant the flame of miracles, and the stronger his control over the flames of miracles.

When his luck reaches a certain level and his own sequence level is at least Sequence 3, he will be able to truly refine the Miracle Flame and see its attributes and characteristics, unlike now when he can only use a small amount of the Miracle Flame's power.

Luck can be innate or acquired, and innate luck is much more precious than acquired luck.

Because innate fortune can be recovered once it is depleted, but acquired fortune is gone once it is depleted.

There are many reasons for acquiring good fortune, such as increasing one's rank, wealth, reputation, or noble title. Therefore, as the next royal consort of the Wood Elf Kingdom, his good fortune has indeed increased significantly.

However, even with all the new Luck, the Pocket of Wonders' equivalent exchange feature is still not enough.

Finally, aside from innate luck, all acquired luck was almost completely drained before it was successfully activated through equivalent exchange.

With the enhancement of the treasure-hunting ability through equivalent exchange, they successfully located the remains of the unclaimed Mother Tree of Life.

Rosen carefully examined the treasure map that the miracle pocket had transmitted to the spirit; he needed to travel 169 million miles eastward.

This is quite a distance, and we probably won't be idle along the way.

As his acquired fortune was exhausted, he clearly felt that the Miracle Flame had weakened considerably. It would be much harder for him to have smooth sailing again, and he could never dream of encountering a miracle treasure. However, he did not regret exhausting his acquired fortune.

Because once he finds the remains of the Mother Tree of Life, the increase in his wealth and resources will inevitably lead to a surge in his future fortune.

After spending several days purchasing local specialties in the Sky Garden, Rosen prepared to bid farewell to the Wood Elf Queen.

"Take good care of Alicia."

The Wood Elf Queen held her daughter tightly, giving her heartfelt instructions.

"Don't worry, I can come back anytime I need to."

As Rosen spoke, he released the mechanical mount, then released it from its bond with Alicia and handed it over to her to be bonded to.

He's having bad luck right now; he's bound to run into trouble while riding his mechanical mount.

It would be better to hide in the unaffected secret study and have Alicia ride the mechanical mount to the destination.

Incidentally, this was also a gift he gave to Alicia. This mechanical mount has several knight sequence aura skills, which, in Alicia's hands, can maximize the combat power of the hero's commanded troops.

"I like this gift."

Alicia excitedly gave him a kiss, and with Rosen's help, the recognition process was quickly completed.

Rosen directly used his mechanical mount to open the mysterious study, then went inside. He contacted Alicia through the Hero Altar to get directions, and the mechanical mount immediately transformed into a fighter jet and silently left the Sky Garden.

The straight-line distance is 169 million miles. Even if you rush, it would take at least two months to cover that distance.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. The mechanical mount, which shared Alicia's sequence skills, kept teleporting long distances through the plants, so that the journey was progressing faster than expected. At this time, they had gradually entered the Divine Tree Empire.

That evening, Rosen, who was sitting by the window reading a book, suddenly felt a lingering fear.

His Sequence ability, Sixth Sense, was giving him a warning, but Alicia was completely unaware of it.

Before Rosen could even notify Alicia, he released a corner of the divine realm through the window and took Alicia away. At the same time, the mechanical mount was also taken away, and the mysterious study, which had lost its spatial anchor, remained in place.

He looked out the window, but could not see any danger in the darkness.

Rosen looked up at the sky through a gap in the giant tree forest, where wisps of dark clouds were gradually gathering against the backdrop of the ash curtain.

Soon the raindrops fell, and he held the Dragon Fang Dagger in his right hand, extending the tip of the blade out of the window to create three water clones.

These water clones can also hide in the rain. Combined with the ability to hide in the void, even a Sequence 4 without special means would have a hard time finding his water clones. The three water clones that were probing in the opposite direction quickly discovered the spatial barrier that covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

Someone predicted his whereabouts in advance and then waited here for him to walk into their trap.

When Rosen thought of such a grand gesture, the first people he thought of were the Moor family of the Divine Wood Empire with whom he had some grudges, the 35 nobles he had killed with his Death Judgment, and finally the two remaining hereditary dukes of the Wood Elf Duchy.

It seems that if we want to get out of here today, we're in for a tough fight.

But no matter who is plotting against him today, they will retaliate tenfold once he gets away.

Rosen released his self-portrait clone, and the moment it approached the spatial barrier, he used Sloth's Foot to try to penetrate the spatial barrier directly. No barrier below Sequence 2 could hold him back, and he did not believe that this spatial barrier could reach Sequence 2.

As expected, the self-portrait clone passed through easily; the level of this spatial barrier was at most Sequence 4.

However, just as the self-portrait clone vanished into the void, a dagger appeared from behind and silently pressed against his throat, delivering a throat-slitting blow that instantly drained all his health and killed him in one strike.

"The demigod assassins of Sequence 3, the Moore family?"

Rosen frowned. As far as he knew, the Moore family had demigods, but they were not assassins but gourmets.

Why did this demigod assassin suddenly appear to try and kill him? What is his background?
There's no way we can win in a fight, so let's think of a way to escape!

But we need to find out who this demigod assassin is, otherwise who will he seek revenge on?

Rosen took out the Fate Pen and looked at the demigod assassin through the window.

The source ability fate check was activated, but no fate information was found for the target.

The difference is too great; the fate check for sequence 6 is unlikely to be effective for sequence 4.

The demigod assassin annihilated the self-portrait clone with a single blow, but did not harm the three water clones. Clearly, he considered it unnecessary to kill the water clones, preferring to keep them alive to lure out the true self.

This gave Rosen an opportunity, and his three water clones began setting traps throughout the jungle.

The demigod assassin watched this scene from the void. He did not believe that these Sequence 6 traps could threaten him. Although he did not know what methods Rosen had used to prevent him from finding them, he did not believe that Rosen could escape the spatial barrier silently.

If Rosen wants to create an escape opportunity using a trap, then give him the opportunity to set one.

Otherwise, we should just destroy the trap. We can't keep this stalemate going on like this without Rosen showing up.

If Rosen's backers arrive to his aid, his hunt will fail.

Once the time trap was set up, Rosen activated the Star Emblem.

His spiritual strength instantly increased to the limit of Sequence 4. Then, the ancient god artifact in his heart strengthened his spiritual strength by nine points, breaking the upper limit and raising his spiritual strength to Sequence 3. After that, Rosen activated Void Shadow Escape without hesitation and jumped out of the window to leave.

The demigod assassin locked onto Rosen immediately, and in a flash, he was already behind Rosen.

The time trap activated instantly, but it couldn't slow down the demigod assassin in the slightest.

In a split second between life and death, Rosen suddenly produced a Time Tower shrunk to the size of a palm.

The true power of extraordinary architecture is enough to transcend two sequence levels.

The Time Tower of Sequence 5 is powerful enough to rival Sequence 3.

The prerequisite is that Lawson must be at least Sequence 3, otherwise it will be difficult to fully unleash the power of the Time Tower.

The time seal that unfolded instantly enveloped everything in golden light, bringing everything to a standstill.

Rosen broke free of the Time Seal and sucked into the Time Tower. The Time Tower had already trapped the demigod assassin, shrinking him as he sucked him into the Gluttonous Stomach. However, at that very moment, another demigod assassin appeared behind Rosen.

He wasn't the only one who could create clones; the demigod assassin clearly also had his own clones.

However, Rosen seemed to have anticipated this, and teleported back to the window and returned to the mysterious study via a teleportation.

The demigod assassin's clone was sealed away, and the moment the main body assassinated Rosen, the surrounding space was distorted. Normal void blinking was not an escape route, but the void blinking of the Void Gun Dance could ignore spatial interference below sequence 3.

Combined with the power of Sloth's Feet to ignore blockades, the spatial blockade of Sequence 3 can also be ignored.

Rosen stood at the window, still shaken. He had taken a risk, but the outcome wasn't bad.

The assassin sequence is good at using clones to assassinate, but he is a reckless man, so he didn't expect to take down the demigod assassin in one go. His goal was to launch a surprise attack and capture one of the clones.

The Time Seal is the core feature of the Time Tower; any Sequence 3 that falls into it will be restricted to a state of time freeze.

However, after a maximum of nine seconds, once the enhancement from the Star Emblem fades, he will be unable to fully unleash the peak power of the Tower of Time.

With five seconds remaining, Rosen removed the mask from the demigod assassin's clone's face in a flash.

It was a very ordinary face. Rosen was best at drawing people, and he could tell at a glance that it was a disguised and distorted face. There was nothing he could do but take away the Time Tower and leave, and then manipulate the Gluttonous Stomach to generate gastric juice to forcibly digest this clone.

The demigod assassin's clones attacked Gluttony's Stomach relentlessly, but they couldn't break through its defenses at all.

Realizing this, the demigod assassin's clone self-destructed.

Although the clone was destroyed, its aura remained.

Rosen placed the Star Emblem into the Time Tower, using five times the time to accelerate the cooling process.

Five hours later, he reactivated the Star Emblem and once again used the ancient god's sacrificial artifact to raise the spiritual power to Sequence 3.

Then, using the aura trapped by the gluttonous stomach as a medium, the demigod assassin was locked onto and placed on a human model.

In that instant, the demigod assassin who had been wandering within the spatial barrier suddenly became unable to move.

Rosen seized the opportunity to teleport to the demigod assassin's location, quickly stripped off the assassin's clothes, took the dagger from the assassin's hand, and even the shoes and mask, throwing them all into the Miracle Pocket.

Then he opened his mouth and aimed at the demigod assassin, attempting to swallow the real body that he had finally managed to trap into his gluttonous stomach.

Just then, the demigod assassin's clone made its move.

Actually, when the clone was dismantling the equipment, it already had a chance to assassinate Rosen.

However, considering the time-stopping effect created by the treasure, the demigod assassin was not confident that his clone's assassination would be a sure hit.

So when he discovered that Rosen was just stealing equipment, he decided to let Rosen steal it.

Those were all extraordinary artifacts he had refined, and that dagger was an even more miraculous treasure.

As long as Rosen carries that dagger, no matter where he hides next, he won't be able to escape his notice.

Having anticipated this, Rosen once again used a teleportation technique to return to the mysterious study through the window.

The demigod assassin's expression changed drastically at that moment, because he could no longer sense any of his treasures.

They spent a fortune as bait, but caught nothing.
Inside the mysterious study, Rosen clearly sensed that the flame of miracles had grown stronger.

Clearly, the gains were substantial, which led to an increase in later fortune.

Rosen opened the Miracle Pocket and checked his haul. It seemed this assassin wasn't a seasoned demigod, because apart from the shoes being a Sequence 3 extraordinary artifact, the rest were all Sequence 4. However, the Sequence 4 dagger was a pleasant surprise.

【Twin Daggers: Miracle Treasure (1/2)】

[Level: Sequence 4]

[Miracle Attribute: Holding a Twin Dagger at Sequence 3 or below doubles the skill effect]

[Miracle Traits: Poison, Weakness, Sharpness, Instant Death, Twins, Unique in the World, Eternal]

Poisoning enhances damage, weakness weakens enemies, sharpness increases armor penetration, and instant death is one of the most terrifying characteristics.

This twin dagger has its damage maxed out, but its most valuable attribute is its stats.

Doubling the skill effect would be a coveted attribute, even by gods, if it weren't limited to skills at Sequence 4. However, its value is significantly reduced due to the limitation that the effect only applies to Sequence 4 skills.

Rosen finally looked at the Twins trait, the core trait of the Twin Daggers.

As long as one of the twin daggers is intact, the other, even if damaged, can regenerate in a very short time.

This characteristic seems quite ordinary, after all, miracle treasures have the characteristic of being eternal and indestructible, and can be reborn after being damaged.

However, after careful consideration, Rosen realized the true value of this feature.

For example, an assassin has a skill that can unleash extremely high damage in a short period of time at the cost of shattering weapons.

The strength of burst damage depends on the quality of the weapon being shattered.

Therefore, the burst damage that can ultimately bring from the shattered Sequence 4 Miracle Treasure is considerable.

There is no single miracle property that is worthless; the key is to use it in the right place.

The mechanical mount has already been given to Alicia, so Rosen can no longer benefit from the damage boost from Divine Judgment.

Therefore, if he can master that skill through human figure drawing, he will definitely be able to raise the damage ceiling to a whole new level.

But before that, Rosen needs to obtain another twin dagger from the demigod assassin.

When he looted the equipment, he only found one Twin Dagger. Obviously, the other one was still in the hands of the Demigod Assassin, who was trying to use the Twin Dagger to locate him.

The fishing method itself wasn't wrong, it's just a pity that it encountered the Mysterious Study, which could even block the Gemini traits.

Rosen entered the Tower of Time and used the acceleration of time to refine the twin daggers with his own spirituality.

Under normal circumstances, the spirituality of Sequence 6 cannot expel the divinity of Sequence 3, but his greedy divine power can forcibly possess all extraordinary elements below Sequence 2, which naturally includes the miraculous treasures of Sequence 4.

In less than an hour, Rosen had already taken possession of the twin daggers.

At this moment, the demigod assassin outside was becoming increasingly restless; he had never experienced such a frustrating assassination attempt.

Aside from ambushing and killing one of his self-portrait clones, the real body escaped his grasp twice.

And it disappeared in an instant, and we couldn't find it no matter what we tried.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't received any help from Rosen's backer, he would have already decided to leave.

After all, for an assassin, getting bogged down in a protracted battle means the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable.

So the demigod assassin, after considering it, asked his employer for help. The target's strength far exceeded the information provided by the employer, so he not only had to pay more money but also provide additional reinforcements, otherwise he would recoup his losses from the employer.

Half an hour later, a Sequence 4 hunter and a Sequence 3 gourmet arrived at the spatial barrier.

However, they still couldn't find Lawson's whereabouts, and the food critic even suspected that Lawson had already escaped.

However, due to the demigod assassin's insistence, they decided to continue waiting in vain.

Rosen, of course, did not leave; he was simply calling for reinforcements.

While refining the Twin Daggers, he had already sent the newly formed self-portrait clone back to Sky Garden through the Void Phase.

By casting Void Phase again, he can bring the Wood Elf Queen to reinforce him.

However, Rosen still felt it wasn't safe enough, so he also planned to use the Spirit World's Deep Web to find out the true identity of the demigod assassin.

Previously, they had digested the demigod assassin's clone and successfully captured the demigod assassin's aura as a medium for using a human model.

This aura naturally includes spiritual aura. Demigod assassins can hide their true identities in reality, but they cannot disguise themselves in the deep web of the spirit world. They only need to know which demigod assassins are nearby, and then they can infiltrate the main god's computer and compare their spiritual auras.

Another hour passed, and Rosen successfully identified the demigod assassin.

This is an assassin who specializes in hunting down human nobles. He seems to have a natural hatred for nobles, and he charges high prices and is very skilled. Following the clues, it turns out that the Moore family hired this assassin.
