Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 190 The Void Realm and the Advancement Sequence 5 Ranger
Chapter 189

In the Dark Continent of Hunter x Hunter, Rosen stood before one hundred Sequence 6 metal slimes.

After mastering the ancient god's ritual arts, he devoted all his energy to promoting the importance of law and order to his people.

Those who take it lightly will suffer great losses, while those who take it to heart will reap the benefits.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and all the Sequence 7 slimes had been transformed into Sequence 6 metallic slimes.

Moreover, they all incorporate recycled metals, and now it's time to test the results.

All metal slimes can grow in size, from as small as a fist to as tall as ten meters.

Changing size doesn't affect defense or damage; the only thing affected is agility.

Rosen drew Dragon King's Wrath and fired a rapid-fire volley at the nearest metal slime.

Each bullet contains the elemental magic spatial cutting of Sequence 6.

This attack, which was enough to easily damage a Sequence 6 extraordinary life form, only caused the metal slime minor flesh wounds.

Rosen was satisfied with the command of the hundred metal slimes to fuse together, and they quickly merged into a giant metal slime that was a hundred meters tall.

Rosen fired another round of rapid-fire, but this time, without using Ash Armor Break, he couldn't break through the defense.

After a rough estimate, one hundred fused and enhanced metal slimes would be enough to render a normal Sequence 4 helpless, and even a demigod would not be able to kill a fused metal slime in just a few minutes.

Rosen continued to unleash the Beast King's Wrath, taming all the metal slimes into his secondary pets.

Then, release the pets to create the Beast King Domain. All the abilities mastered by the pets within the domain can be shared with the secondary pet, and even the damage taken can be transferred to the secondary pet. At the same time, the strength of the pets and troops is enhanced to the extreme.

In this state, Rosen was confident that he could withstand the damage from the Sequence 4 Volcanic Dragon.

However, hunting the Volcanic Dragon is not enough; at least 10,000 Sequence 6 Shadow Fiends must be born first.

Only by mastering the Shadow World can you trap the Volcanic Dragon within it with minimal disturbance.

Only then will there be a chance to successfully hunt the Volcanic Fiery Dragon in the Shadow World before it leaves.

If they were to hunt inside the volcano, it would alert all the demigods of the Divine Weapon Sky City in no time.

When the time comes, the clam and the crane fight, and the fisherman benefits; who knows who will ultimately get the volcano and the fiery dragon?

The Shadow World solved the battlefield problem, and Metal Slimes solved the defense problem; now only the damage problem remains.

Rosen entered the Time Tower and began a five-fold time acceleration. He then used the time acceleration to continuously synthesize the ash-contaminated hives. As time passed day by day, the ash hives were finally successfully synthesized to sequence 6 after three months.

Upon arriving at Sequence 6, Rosen saw the detailed attributes of the Ash Hive.

Ash Hive: A Miracle Unit Building

[Level: Sequence 6]

[Attribute: Once a year, it can consume resources to produce one Ash Bee Queen with a maximum sequence of 6]

[Miracle Traits: Armor Penetration, True Damage, Honey Harvesting, Uniqueness, Eternal Life]

Rosen looked at the Miracle property and his first reaction was that it was impossible.

Because previously, neither the Ash Bee Queen, the Ash Bee, nor even the Ash Bee King had ever been unique in the world or eternally indestructible.

But now that he had it, he thought for a long time before he came up with a few possibilities.

A miracle life like Little Dragon Girl is one of a kind, and there is no room for a second one to be born.

However, there are many of these miraculous life forms, such as the Ash Bee, born naturally.

Rosen used to think that the first Ash Bee to be born was the only complete miracle life form, possessing the unique and eternal characteristics of being one of a kind. But now it seems that perhaps it is not just one Ash Bee that has these two characteristics, but rather the strongest Ash Bee that possesses them.

Because his Ash Hive has reached Sequence 6, surpassing the original strongest Ash Hive, Sequence 7.

Therefore, by overcoming the superiors and subordinates, he successfully gained these two characteristics.

If someone else raises the Ashbringer to Sequence 5 before him, his Ashbringer will lose both of these traits, and even the unique trait of Honey Harvest will be lost.

After some research, Rosen discovered that armor penetration and true damage are inherent characteristics of the Ash Bee series of Miracle Life forms.

However, only those who possess the uniqueness of heaven and earth and the eternal indestructibility can inherit this characteristic.

Through this characteristic, the Ash Bee can collect the life force contained in all things in heaven and earth.

Then these vital elements are transformed into a special kind of ash honey.

This ash honey, within a day of its creation, not only has the effect of strengthening vitality but also greatly enhances the efficiency of spiritual growth.

However, once stored for more than a day, ash honey will develop a deadly poison that stunts life. The longer the ash honey is stored, the stronger its life-stunning toxicity becomes, and the quantity of ash honey will also decrease.

Rosen continuously infused the Ash Bee hive with spiritual energy, and soon produced this year's Ash Bee Queen.

There are now two Ash Queen bees in the nest, one large and one small.

The larger ones can produce one Sequence 6 Ash Queen Bee and ten Sequence 6 Ordinary Ash Bees each year.

As for the young, newly hatched Ash Bee Queen, they cannot produce any offspring and can only produce Ash Bee Royal Jelly.

Ash honey becomes increasingly toxic over time, but ash royal jelly does not. Instead, it matures and becomes more vital over time. If stored for more than a thousand years, it can even help a Sequence 4, whose spiritual strength has reached its limit, to advance further.

Rosen took out the carcass of a giant beast and quickly gathered its life force to produce some ashes, honey, and royal jelly.

After drinking a drop of blood-red honey, the lingering fragrance on my lips and teeth made my life force and spirituality surge.

Rosen couldn't wait to synthesize several hundred Sequence 7 Ash Bees in two rounds to harvest over a hundred Sequence 6 Ash Bees. This took another ten days or so, but the production of Ash Honey finally increased.

He wasn't the one who benefited the most, after all, eating the golden apple itself made his vitality explode.

Li Shiqing and Alicia benefited the most.

With the aid of Ash Honey and an unlimited supply of extraordinary ingredients, it won't be long before Li Shiqing becomes a Sequence 8.

Alicia's ancestral life spirit bloodline will be further revived with the help of Ash Honey.

Time passed by, and only a few days remained until all Shadow Fiends were born.

Rosen has been busy these days, raising his Hunter Sequence skill level.

With the help of the Ash Bee of Sequence 6, he successfully upgraded the Ash Armor Penetration of the Hunter Sequence to LV5.

[Ash Armor Penetration LV5: Base damage passively increased by 240%, ignores physical defenses lower than the user's damage output]

[Miracle Traits: True Damage, Life Deprivation]

The new Vitality Deprivation trait can be simply understood as the continuous loss of life force after suffering real damage.

There is no special cure; it will only gradually weaken until death.

In addition to Ash Armor Break, Rosen also successfully enhanced his Sixth Sense to LV5 with the help of Death Perception from the Death Belt.

However, no new traits were born because he planned to accumulate the power of his sixth sense and transform it into his seventh sense when he reached LV6. More traits are not necessarily better; a good trait is enough to be worth ten.

After upgrading his two skills, Rosen did not continue to upgrade Void Shadow.

Because he plans to merge all of Shadow Fiend's Shadow World and Void Escape, thereby transforming Void Escape into a special skill.

By now, Rosen has come to understand the meaning of special skills.

Skills with skill levels are like leveling up step by step, gradually transforming into rules and authority.

As for those special skills that do not have levels, they inherently contain the power of authority and rules.

Therefore, the latter is rarer, but that doesn't mean the former is inferior to the latter. It just means that most of them are not as good. For example, the skill "Mind Canvas" has the potential to be more powerful than most special skills.

With his Void Shadow Cloak not being upgraded for the time being, Rosen spent the rest of his time reading.

Reading books about elements can help Xiaolongnu better utilize her power.

Then, knowledge can be converted into proficiency, which can be used to upgrade the skill level of Elemental Trap Creation.

He also studied books on time and space, and before he knew it, he had accumulated a wealth of knowledge and skills, and all three of his trap skills had been upgraded to LV5. At this time, the last Shadow Fiend was finally born.

Rosen immediately and impatiently vanished into the Void Shadow, then commanded the Shadow Fiends to merge into it.

All the Shadow Fiends' Shadow Worlds merged into the Void Shadows, gradually forming a vast Shadow World covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles. However, under the combined manipulation of all the Shadow Fiends, the Shadow World began to compress and condense.

Finally, the area shrank to a radius of 48 kilometers, which was large enough to trap the volcanic dragon.

Still not satisfied, Rosen merged the newly formed Shadow World with the Divine Realm.

From that time on, the Shadow World became the shadow of the divine realm.

Because the two are inextricably linked, he even seized the opportunity to completely integrate the demon's lair into the Shadow World.
During this process, Rosen's Void Shadow Cloak naturally transformed into a new special skill.

[Void Realms: Ability to create and control Void Realms]

[Divine Authority Trait: Shadow Fiend Overlord - Able to freely control all Shadow Fiends born in the Shadow World]

[Divine Authority Trait: Shadow Clone - Able to transform the shadows of all life forms into shadow clones]

[Divine Power Characteristic: Alternating Light and Darkness – Able to instantly cover other spaces with shadows]

The transformation of Void Shadow into the divine power skill Void Shadow Realm was a pleasant surprise for Rosen.

Rosen quickly became familiar with the three divine attributes. As the Shadow Demon Overlord, he could freely enter the Void Realm that existed in the shadow of the divine realm, and the Void Realm could also be bound to the shadows of everything nearby.

Therefore, Void Shadow's stealth ability has been retained, and the stealth effect has become even stronger.

The original Shadow Clone ability allowed users to turn the shadow of a living being into a shadow clone. However, Shadow Clone was somewhat of a liability, as its strength depended on the strength of the enemy's shadow.

If a person is Sequence 6, the power of the shadow can only outpace Sequence 7.

However, the Shadow Clone is different. Rosen can inject the power of the Void Realm and the Shadow Demon into the Shadow Clone. In this way, the Shadow Clone's power is almost equal to that of the original, and it truly possesses powerful combat capabilities.

Finally, the alternation of light and darkness is the core ability of the Void Shadow Realm.

Rosen left the mysterious study, and outside lay the mechanical city, now fully restored and revitalized.

However, the outside was still disguised by a mountain covered by the ash canvas projection, so even the sun and stars in the sky were fakes he drew when he was bored. Although they could provide light, they could not compare to real sunlight.

Rosen removed the disguise granted by the Ash Curtain and instead used the Void Shadow to devour the shadow of the mechanical city.

Once the shadow of the entire city was incorporated into it, the mechanical city suddenly disappeared.

Only the shadow of the mechanical city remained on the ground. The mechanical puppets on the road inside the shadow were still moving, but they could only be seen from the outside and could not be touched. Only by entering the shadow could one enter the real mechanical city.

This is only the initial alternation of light and dark, merely pulling the shadow's main body into the shadow's interior.

If the control over the alternation of light and darkness were further improved, and if the Void Realm were larger, then what would remain in reality would not be the shadow of the mechanical city, but a mechanical city that appears intact, only without a shadow in the sunlight.

At this point, it's almost equivalent to swapping the mechanical city with the shadow.

If he had mastered his current power earlier, Lawson would have been confident in hunting down the Death Scorpion even with just his Hunter Sequence.

However, if he wanted to hunt the Volcanic Blazing Dragon, Rosen felt he needed to go a step further.

His spiritual strength has been at 48 points for some time now. The Ash Honey has helped stabilize his spiritual strength to its limit, which means he can break through to Sequence 5 at any time, and that he has already reached his limit at Sequence 6.

If it weren't for hunting the Volcanic Dragon, Rosen would definitely upgrade to the Noble Rank first.

However, at present, it is definitely more appropriate to prioritize upgrading the Hunter Rank.

The materials for Sequence 5 potions have been prepared long ago, but the core materials have not yet been decided.

Rosen was somewhat overwhelmed by the fact that all branches of the Hunter sequence could be changed to other classes.

After much deliberation, he decided to change his class to Ranger at Sequence 5.

The Ranger branch of the Hunter sequence has a core innate skill: Weapon Mastery.

Although each hunter sequence can be bound to a weapon and given hunting rules, this binding is far inferior to that of a weapon master, who can bind two weapons, one primary and one secondary, and then stack the attributes of the two weapons.

The core materials for the Ranger are easy to obtain; you only need to use weapon fragments.

Rosen took out a twin dagger and placed it aside, then began to prepare a potion using the potion bottle.

[100 grams of heart powder from the War God Mantis, one life-giving spark from a thousand-year-old mechanical race, 50 grams of Sequence 5 Void Meteorite, ten drops of the essence blood of the Earth Giant Bear, one hundred eyeballs of the Hundred-Eyed Demon...]

The specially customized potion formula quickly became a semi-finished product under the preparation of the potion bottle.

After Rosen broke the twin daggers into pieces, he immediately threw them into a potion.

The potion began to accelerate its reaction, and the final product was neither a liquid nor a crystal.

Instead, it was a dagger with a hundred eyes that burned with flames.

Rosen picked up the dagger and plunged it into his own heart, striking the Hunter Sequence's extraordinary essence.

The power of the potion flowed continuously into the extraordinary essence, the dagger dissolved little by little, and the wound in the heart gradually healed.

The whispers in my ears and the hallucinations before my eyes were all suppressed by the power of the Miracle Flame.

So I didn't feel too uncomfortable, and my spiritual strength has increased to 49 points.

Rosen immediately sensed the extraordinary source energy and, as expected, he had acquired the innate skill of Weapon Master.

[Weapon Master: Able to deeply bind one main weapon and one secondary weapon to extraordinary source essence, with attribute stacking and shared characteristics]

Rosen bound the Dragon King's Wrath and the Twin Daggers to his main and secondary weapons respectively using the Weapon Master.

The Twin Daggers' attribute increases skill damage, not base damage. Actually, binding them with Weapon Master is a bit of a disadvantage, but after binding, he doesn't have to hold a gun in his right hand and a knife in his left.

Moreover, after the traits are shared, Dragon King's Wrath is essentially equipped with miraculous traits such as poisoning, weakness, sharpness, and instant death.

Rosen familiarized himself with the changes to his main and secondary weapons, then took out his treasured skill crystal, Fate Mark.

This is a skill crystal dropped by the unlucky guy from the intelligence agency who hunted Ford. It was transformed into a hunter sequence skill crystal by the hunting divine authority.

Because it was at Sequence 5, I kept it as a treasure until I reached Sequence 5 myself.

The extraordinary source material quickly refined the skill crystal, and Rosen mastered the first special skill of Sequence 5.

[Fate Mark: Special Skill]

[Passive Attribute: Can apply a Fate Mark to targets within the range of spiritual perception]

[Active Skill: When activated, the prey suffers continuous true damage, or the user gains a guaranteed hit that ignores distance.]

Rosen released a Metal Slime and then applied a Fate Mark to it.

A cross-shaped dragon horn mark, visible only to the metal slime, appeared out of thin air on its body.

The moment this mark is activated, the metal slime begins to take continuous damage.

The specific degree of injury, after calculation, is equivalent to 49% of the basic attack of Dragon King's Wrath, which is roughly equivalent to the spiritual intensity.

The damage isn't actually that high; the key is that it's true damage and very difficult to get rid of.

In particular, planting the mark of fate is very simple. If he had this skill earlier, the Death Scorpion would not have been able to hide from him at all.

Rosen made one last attempt at a guaranteed hit, thrusting his twin daggers from hundreds of meters away. He stabbed at thin air, but the metal slime, hundreds of meters away, was suddenly stabbed at the location marked with the Fate Mark.

The fate mark is random; it may be on the feet or the head.

This is equivalent to an extremely stealthy sneak attack. If the Fate Mark happens to be on the head, then a single strike could be a fatal blow. Not all living beings are indifferent to head injuries, so the Fate Mark can greatly increase the damage to prey.

Rosen wasn't in a hurry to learn a second skill because good skills are so rare.

While mastering the Fate Mark, all other innate skills within the Extraordinary Source Essence also completed their evolution.

The Nen ability is LV7 and hasn't evolved, which is already a level that only Sequence 3 can achieve.

Nightmare Shackles evolved to Sequence 5, but no new traits were developed.

Then, the trap space no longer has skill levels, but the trap space has become much larger.

Rosen merged the Void Realm and the Trap Space, making it easier to set up traps in the Void Realm in the future.

The Time Hunter of Sequence 6 also has no skill level. However, while it used to be able to deduct ten years from a prey's one hundred-year lifespan, it can now deduct twenty years, which is equivalent to increasing the deduction rate from 10% to 20%.

Rosen assessed his current strength and concluded that his success rate in hunting the Volcanic Blazing Dragon was at least 40%.

Rosen was no longer willing to tolerate it, so he left the mysterious study and the hotel.

The Divine Weapon Sky City has a downward teleportation array, and many powerful extraordinary beings enter the crater to collect resources.

However, the vast majority of them are located on the edge of the crater, searching for resources from the latest eruptions of lava.

Few extraordinary beings, apart from demigods, dare to venture deep into the interior of magma.

Rosen teleported to the edge of the crater and looked around. Because the crater was so large, the edge of the crater was like an endless mountain range, except that lava flowed between these mountains and emitted billowing black smoke and extremely high temperatures.

Rosen had no intention of venturing deep into the magma; his chances of defeating the volcanic dragon there were less than 10%.

He planned to let the volcanic dragon come out on its own, and the bait was the bronze dragon's original bloodline in his hand.

The Dragon Blood Bottle can devour the blood of dragons and beasts, then transform and replenish the bloodline of the Bronze Dragon.

Therefore, the bloodline of the Bronze Dragon possesses regenerative properties, making it more than enough to use some as bait.

Although the Volcanic Blazing Dragon is an elemental dragon and doesn't have any dragon blood in its body, the original bloodline of the bronze dragon can definitely play a huge role in becoming a demigod, so Rosen isn't worried that the Volcanic Blazing Dragon won't take the bait.

Taking out a custom-made extraordinary artifact, Little Dragon Girl used her dragon language magic to summon a Sequence 5 fire elemental.

After the Lawson Hunters reached Sequence 5, Little Dragon Girl and Fairy Dragon Balls were restored to Sequence 5. Nightmare Slime was already in a dormant metamorphosis. Storm Thunderbird was still a bit behind and would need a few more years to grow to Sequence 5.

The fire elemental, carrying a bottle containing the blood of the bronze dragon, traveled upstream along the lava river that flowed between the mountains.

Once they reached the crater, they activated the mechanism on the bottle to begin their return journey.

Along the way, a continuous stream of bronze dragon blood flowed out. Due to its time-related properties, even the high temperature of the volcano could not burn the bronze dragon blood in a short time. Instead, it released the dragon aura of the bronze dragon under the scorching heat.

At this moment, the volcanic dragon, which was sleeping deep inside the crater, was awakened immediately.

As the elementalized dragon approached the bloodline of the Bronze Dragon, the Volcanic Blazing Dragon's enormous eyes were filled with both joy and vigilance.

Although the Volcanic Blazing Dragon does not possess the inherited memories of the dragon race and is not a dragon with a bloodline, but rather an elemental dragon that was born from the corpse of a demigod dragon that perished in the volcanic environment, its long lifespan has made it increasingly intelligent.

The Divine Weapon Volcano is human territory. Even when a Sequence 7 provokes it, it only severely injures it and never kills it.

It has no appetite for eating people and always avoids humans as much as possible.

However, it also knows that it is a moving treasure. In the early years, human Sequence 4s often came to hunt it. Later, it found that it was impossible to kill it and then it became quiet. Could it be that human Sequence 4s want to hunt it again?
Confident in its own strength, the Volcanic Dragon decided to go up and take a look.

As long as it doesn't stray too far from the crater, even if several demigods intervene, it is confident it can escape back to the crater.

The volcanic dragon followed the gushing lava, guided by the bait.

Soon, they spotted a human sitting on the edge of the lava river at the foot of the mountain. When they discovered that the human was only a Sequence 5, the Volcanic Dragon became even more vigilant instead of relaxed. For a Sequence 5 to target it, it must either be a fool or truly confident.
