Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 58 The Undying Lord
Chapter 58

"Noble Rank... Bloodline Awakening..."

The ancestor of the gray rat people squeaked unwillingly.

Kaman nodded as he deactivated his transformation. At Sequence 8, he was fortunate enough to awaken the extraordinary bloodline ability of the Noble Sequence, which was also the core reason why he ultimately chose the Gourmet Sequence, which focused on transformation abilities.

Any transformation combined with bloodline awakening can cause the extraordinary creature he transforms into to experience a surge in power in a short period of time.

Without the fighting cage, the progenitor of the gray ratmen could have easily escaped and stalled until the duration of his bloodline awakening ended.

However, with limited space in the fighting cage, the Gray Rat Man progenitor had nowhere to escape but death.

As the victor emerged, the fighting cage vanished without leaving any remains.

Although Kaman felt heartbroken, he still took out a box and put the head of the Gray Ratman progenitor inside.

Then the alchemical array above was activated, and the divinity of the Gray Ratman progenitor was forcibly extracted.

At this moment, the two Sequence 7s in the visual battle also came to Kaman's side to protect him.

Half an hour later, Kaman put away the box with satisfaction and prepared to go to the surface to hunt some pirates to recover his health.

Rosen, certain that Kaman had left, still did not rashly depart from the mysterious study.

He felt that the gray ratman with divinity died too easily, while the gourmet nobleman had a backup plan, but the gray ratman with divinity had no backup plan at all, which made him feel that something was not right.

Another half hour passed, and Rosen, having noticed nothing amiss, assumed he had misjudged the situation and was about to leave.

He suddenly heard extremely faint footsteps, and soon he saw a Sequence 7 appear. This Sequence 7 was the first Sequence 7 to escape in the chaos. At this moment, this person no longer looked like a human, because his face had become shifty-eyed.

Rosen immediately realized that this human Sequence 7 might have already been parasitized or possessed by the gray ratman.

The first person to flee was not only to force the other Sequence 7s to retreat, but also to take the opportunity to leave himself an escape route.

Even if the main body dies in battle, there is still a chance of survival. But since they have already escaped, why risk coming back?

The ground was quickly dug open by the knight's greatsword, reaching a depth of ten meters before unearthing a gray stone.

Although Rosen didn't see what the gray ratman dug out, he heard the sound of the knight's greatsword colliding with something.

He finally couldn't hold back any longer and poured his spiritual energy into the God-Slaying Crossbow through the window, beginning a volley of fire.

The bullets and crossbow bolts automatically search for the enemy, curving along the ground and disappearing into a ten-meter-deep pit.

With limited space inside the pit, the gray ratman could only raise his knight's greatsword to slash at the incoming bullets and crossbow bolts.

Then, with a leaping battle cry, he charged out of the pit and roared in the direction from which the bullets and crossbow bolts were coming.

However, the power of the roar was far less than that of Sequence 7, only reaching the level of Sequence 9.

Rosen immediately realized that not all beings possessed the same special abilities as Shadowcat.

The Shadow Cat's parasites can perfectly master the abilities of humans at the highest sequence level, Sequence 7.

However, the gray ratmen had no way of controlling the human knight's sequence abilities.

Furthermore, with the main body of the Gray Ratman Sequence 8 perishing, it's already quite good that his clones, affected by the loss, can still exert the abilities of Sequence 9.

If it were Sequence 8, Rosen might at most be able to snipe through the window.

However, he was confident that he was no less capable than the half-baked gray ratman knight in front of him, even when facing a Sequence 9.

The moment Rosen leaped out of the window of the mysterious study, he had already used Shadow Cloak to enter the shadows.

He even used one of his two Shadowmeld teleportations to teleport behind the Gray Ratman in the shadows. He activated Death Strike and unleashed a barrage of bullets and bolts at close range, locking onto the Gray Ratman.

Rosen even went a step further by using his extraordinary five senses to deprive the Gray Ratman of his hearing.

When the gray ratman realized the danger was coming from behind, it was too late to turn around and use the knight's greatsword to block the damage.

However, his countless combat experiences, rooted in instinct, still allowed him to make the most correct reaction.

He charged backwards, using his knight's armor to directly strike the incoming crossbow bolts.

This was the right thing to do, but the gray ratman didn't notice the bullets that had been slowed down and were hidden in the shadows.

Whether it's bullets or crossbow bolts, they are essentially spiritual paintings transformed through magazines.

Different spiritual paintings transform into bullets and crossbow bolts with different attributes.

Typically, the spiritual paintings that Rosen puts into the magazine depict scenes of explosions, freezing, and armor penetration, all aimed at causing damage.

However, the bullet fired this time was based on a spiritual painting depicting Freddy Krueger.

Therefore, this bullet did not travel through reality, but instead traveled through the dream and directly struck the Gray Ratman's consciousness, thus forcibly injecting the Gray Ratman's consciousness into the dream. Of course, the result was a failure, because the Gray Ratman's consciousness was of far higher quality than Rosen's.

However, the gray ratman also has a weakness: his clone's consciousness has quality but no quantity.

Therefore, in the instant he was struck by the bullet and lost consciousness, the gray ratman also experienced a moment of disorientation.

Seizing the opportunity, Rosen instantly teleported to the left of the Gray Ratman, and thrust the muzzle of the Godslayer Crossbow into the crack on the left side of the helmet, firing bullets and bolts at the head protected only by spiritual battle aura beneath the helmet.

The sealed space of the helmet further aggravated the damage from the Nen energy after the bullets and crossbow bolts exploded.

The gray ratman's head was blown to pieces; his resentment and regret before his death were beyond words.

The crack on the helmet of the human knight he possessed was the damage he had personally inflicted during the previous battle. It was from this spot that he possessed and controlled the knight, but unexpectedly, the damage that ultimately led to his demise also came from this spot, delivering the fatal blow.

Filled with despair and madness before his death, the Gray Ratman gathered some spiritual fighting spirit in his right elbow and struck Rosen in the chest.

Even though Rosen gathered all his spiritual energy into his chest in an instant, the protection he formed with his energy was still destroyed by an elbow strike. His chest collapsed, his ribs pierced his internal organs, and one could even vaguely see the elbow pushing up a piece of his back.

Rosen felt life slipping away, and his heart was filled with both fear and excitement.

He had never been so close to death, nor had he ever experienced such a thrilling battle between life and death.

Rosen used his spiritual energy to temporarily suppress his injuries. His spiritual energy was so precise that it temporarily severed the damage to his internal organs and bones, as well as the effects on the life functions of his head and limbs. He then opened his divine domain, grabbed the several orbs of light in front of him, and entered the alchemy castle.

Rosen lay beneath the ancient tree of the sequence, his life force rapidly draining away.

He soon exhausted his life force and turned into a dried corpse. Even the remaining part of his body was absorbed by the roots of the ancient tree next to him, so that in a short time only his clothes and some extraordinary artifacts were left scattered on the ground.

At the same time, the ancient trees in the sequence began to blossom and bear fruit.

Several hours later, the fruit grew larger and larger, and was split open from the inside by a pair of hands. Rosen jumped out of the fruit and was revived with full health.

As the most powerful ability in the noble hierarchy, the Lord of the Divine Realm is naturally not just about developing a portable territory to conquer the Spirit Realm.

As long as the divine realm is not destroyed, the lord of the divine realm can continuously regenerate through the divine realm.

Of course, rebirth also comes at a price. First, his spiritual threshold will be lowered. He was originally close to 11 points of spirituality, but now he has fallen back to 9 points. Moreover, the ancient tree of the sequence consumed 10,000 units of spiritual crystals to regenerate a new body based on his bloodline.

This is only a rebirth of Sequence 9. The higher the Sequence level, the higher the cost of resurrection in the Divine Realm.

If Rosen didn't have the divine realm that allowed him to be resurrected after death, he wouldn't have dared to challenge that gray ratman who possessed divinity.
