Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 35 Black Shark Appears
Chapter 35

[Transcendent Senses LV1: This ability maximizes a hunter's basic five senses, enhances their perception of spirituality, allows the hunter to freely increase or decrease their own and a single enemy's five senses, and significantly reduces the negative effects on their own five senses.]

Rosen was very satisfied with this skill; it was worth all the effort he had put into hunting the Shadow Cat head-on.

With the enhancement of the five basic senses, vision, hearing, and smell all become helpful in detecting and tracking enemies.

As for taste, it doesn't have much of a temporary effect, but touch can slightly improve his painting skills.

However, what Rosen values ​​most is the ability to enhance spiritual perception, a precious ability that is universal across all sequences. Normally, only a Sequence 6 can enter the spirit world in their true form, but with this ability, it is not difficult for a Sequence 7 to enter the spirit world in their true form.

Not to mention, in addition to these, Rosen can also influence the opponent's five senses during combat.

He was able to easily hunt down Sequence 8 Shadowcats, and his ability to deprive them of their sight was largely due to this.

Finally, Rosen tried it out and realized that he had underestimated the last attribute of the five extraordinary senses.

What does it mean to reduce the negative impact on one's five senses?
Flashbangs, poison gas grenades, and noise grenades all have significantly reduced effects when facing this attribute. Sometimes, stronger perception isn't always better. People with exceptionally strong hearing can easily be tormented to the point of ecstasy by piercing sounds.

However, with this attribute, Lawson basically doesn't need to worry about the negative effects on the five senses.

Rosen continued to tally up the remaining spoils, but did not obtain a second piece of equipment with the Source prefix.

He did get quite a few skill crystals, but at Hunter Sequence 9, he wasn't planning to learn any more acquired skills.

Rosen knew very well that Shadowcat, Sequence 7, had been thoroughly enraged by him.

Therefore, he no longer intends to continue provoking others.

As the days went by, Lawson would draw in Marthadora when he was at his most energetic in the mornings, hone his Nen abilities and master the three Hunter skills in the afternoons, and study diligently in the evenings.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle, especially for hunters who need to understand every type of prey they face.

Therefore, Rosen needs to spend his entire life studying information about various extraordinary creatures.

Of course, there are too many kinds of extraordinary creatures for him to remember every single one.

Therefore, he only needs to remember the basic information, and he can use his extraordinary skills to master the complex and detailed information in the future.

Only by encountering extraordinary beings in this way can he make the best response in the shortest amount of time.

As time went by, Rosen's spiritual intensity gradually increased from seven points to over eight points.

Spirituality is the core foundation of the extraordinary sequence, and even the extraordinary source is a materialized product of the fusion of spirituality and the extraordinary sequence.

Therefore, spiritual elevation brings about an all-round improvement to the extraordinary sequence.

The more books he reads, the more common sense he learns. From the books, Rosen has figured out the changes in his strength brought about by his spiritual growth.

There are two types of growth in spirituality, from one point to eight points.

These refer to the total amount of spirituality and the intensity of spirituality. If we consider spirituality as a set of laws, it's like the number of laws increasing from one to eight, equivalent to increasing one's maximum magical power eightfold. However, if we consider spirituality as the intensity of spellcasting, the change from one point to eight points is far less than eightfold.

Because the increase between each point of spiritual growth is 1.1, his current spiritual strength of eight points is equivalent to 1.95 times that of one point of spiritual strength. Even if the spiritual strength cap reaches the maximum of 12 points, the spiritual strength will only be 2.85 times the initial value.

However, it's important to know that this is just the basic level; it doesn't include the extraordinary skills that have been mastered yet.

以死亡重击将伤害强化到200%计算，灵性一点的猎人造成的伤害就是200%，但是灵性12点的猎人造成的伤害却是2.85乘200%，最终极限数值达到570%。

This is equivalent to nearly three times the damage increase, and this is just the increase brought by stacking one skill with Spiritual Strength.

If multiple skills are stacked, the difference in the final maximum damage will be several times greater.

Therefore, a Sequence 9 complete set can easily outperform a Sequence 9 beginner set.

Therefore, the strength of 12 points of spirituality is only 2.85 times that of 1 point of spirituality. Although it seems like the growth is not much, the change in strength is actually very amazing.

As for Rosen wanting to advance from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8, it's not as simple as just achieving spiritual perfection and taking the potion. He also needs to raise at least one acquired skill to LV2. If all three acquired skills can be raised to LV2, then the benefits he will receive after taking the potion will be much greater.

Rosen's current problem is that his spiritual growth is too rapid, but the speed at which he improves his acquired skills is far behind.

Not to mention that he has only mastered the acquired skills of the Hunter sequence, and has no clue about the Noble sequence and the Painter sequence. He doesn't want to be stuck at the last step and unable to advance to the next sequence even after achieving spiritual perfection.

Rosen, who had initially thought staying in the Spirit Realm was fine, has become increasingly anxious lately.

On this day, Rosen honed his acquired skills as usual. He had now moved his training ground to the Death Forest, where he played hide-and-seek with the extraordinary creatures on the outskirts of the Death Forest. Relying on his extraordinary five senses, he managed to avoid the Shadow Cat leader several times in advance.

Today was the same as usual, but suddenly Rosen felt the entire spiritual realm freeze for a moment.

He immediately realized that the Black Shark Pirates might have reopened the Spirit Realm. Without hesitation, he shook off the pin-eyed squirrel that had been bothering him for most of the hour, turned around and returned to the shore. Soon he saw a whirlpool appearing hundreds of meters away from the shore.

Rosen slipped into the shadows to observe, and soon saw members of the Black Shark Pirates passing through the whirlpool.

This time, it wasn't the passengers who had been scammed, but the Black Shark Pirates themselves who took action.
There are two possibilities: either the repeated annihilation of the Black Shark has ruined its reputation, making it unable to attract passengers, or the Black Shark Pirate Crew has already achieved its goal of feeding the Shadow Cat and is now personally entering the Spirit Realm to reap the rewards.
Rosen soon realized that it wasn't just the Black Shark Pirates who had entered the Spirit Realm.

There were even ordinary people with their hands bound by ropes. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be ordinary sailors. This meant that the Black Shark Pirates had plundered the merchant ship and then brought all the ordinary people on board into this spiritual realm.

According to Rosen's understanding of spirit realms, only those spirit realms that are fully under his control can be brought into ordinary people.

As for undeveloped spiritual realms, ordinary people who want to enter them can only rely on external forces to temporarily stimulate their dormant spirituality, or use methods such as dreams to bring their consciousness into the spiritual realm.

Regardless of the method used, bringing ordinary people into the spiritual realm is very difficult and costly.

Therefore, these ordinary people are definitely very important to the Black Shark Pirates' next move.

P.S.: I'm so sorry, I was working overtime and didn't have time to edit it. I'll edit and upload it as soon as I get back.
