Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 147: Arriving at the Abyss Front, You Can Also Raise a Legion (5.8k)

[Congratulations, you have obtained the core inheritance of the Demon Grand Duke Yueyao - "Moon" in this evolution! ]

【Moon】

[Quality: Legend]

[Effect 1: Night: When night falls, your physique doubles, your soul strength doubles, your recovery doubles, your spiritual essence limit doubles, your vision greatly increases, your sense of existence will be greatly reduced, and you will see the night as day.]

[Effect 2: Link: You can choose any one person to link with. After the other party agrees, the link will take effect. All damage suffered by the two people will be distributed freely by you. At the same time, among the two linked parties, the stronger party will enhance the attributes of the weaker party in all aspects, with a maximum upper limit of one time.]

[Effect Three: Moonlight: After killing any creature, you can obtain "Moonlight" of varying quantities and qualities!

After purifying the moonlight, you will be able to obtain part of the memory, part of the inheritance, or part of the blessing of the person you killed! 】

[Effect 4: Tonghui: This effect is not activated yet.]

【——The day is like the sun, and the night is like the moon. 】

Yuan Qingzhuo's body shook.

Shock again, shock violently!
This time's blood purification was not like the first two times when there was almost no feeling at all, and it was also completely different from the subtle changes of Rush's "Twin on the Other Side".

The leap from blood purity that had never reached the level of [Lord] to that of [Duke] was really too huge.

It was also thanks to the fact that Yuan Qingzhuo had just eaten the heart of a legendary demon duke that he was able to barely do this.

It was as if a ball of cold fire was burning from the heart, spreading to every part of his body in an instant, almost enveloping Yuan Qingzhuo entirely.

He remained silent and just felt it carefully.

There are roughly the following changes in body and appearance.

First of all, the structural strength of the body has increased by at least three levels.

If the previous body was a brick that was hard on the surface but hollow inside, then the current body was a sharp blade made from a whole piece of 1095 high-carbon steel that was repeatedly forged and tempered.

It has both the elasticity of being as soft as boneless and the rigidity of being as hard as iron.

Although my current physical fitness is still just over 200 points... oh, it should be just over 400 points now.

But people's physiques cannot be generalized.

One point of physical fitness from the [Duke] level bloodline is at least equivalent to five points of physical fitness from his previous cheap demon bloodline...

Thinking of this, Yuan Qingzhuo suddenly realized - how strong would Caroline's physique be with more than 8,000 points?

That's really a pure panel monster.

Then, Yuan Qingzhuo could feel that the world was showing a broader side to him.

Unlike in the past when he could vaguely feel some kind of omnipresent substance flowing in the dark, now Yuan Qingzhuo can almost directly sense them.

Perhaps it is difficult to describe it in words, but if I have to use a metaphor, Yuan Qingzhuoyuan can summarize it as - [Increased world affinity] [Increased spiritual affinity]

If it were placed in a novel about cultivating immortals, it would probably mean that a low-grade spiritual root directly evolved into a high-grade spiritual root.

Finally, the spiral double horns on the top of the head, which were originally only one or two centimeters long, grew rapidly as if they had been injected with growth hormone, and grew into a complete form of six or seven centimeters.

The upright black spiral horns are exposed to the air, and the whole body is as luxurious and lustrous as carefully polished obsidian.

Yuan Qingzhuo shook his head and surprisingly did not feel any discomfort.

Quite magical.

But I didn’t have wings that could cover the sky or a long, slender tail that could shake... It turned out that I couldn’t believe everything I read in the book.

This is very good. Very good!

Yuan Qingzhuo felt a little scared whenever he thought about having a wagging tail following him when he walked in the future.

But none of the above seemed as precious as the legendary inheritance he had just obtained.

Effect one is the Night Warrior, effect two is the hugging thigh divine skill, and effect three...

It is a pure “system”!
You can understand it just by looking at the description.

——Killing monsters can level up, killing monsters can drop potions, and killing monsters can also drop treasures and materials.

If this isn’t a “system”, then what is?
Yuan Qingzhuo gently clenched his palms, and a surge of power far exceeding that of a few minutes ago emanated from his palms.

With such a grip strength, one can easily crush a whole piece of marble into powder.

Before this, Yuan Qingzhuo could hardly imagine that a two-and-a-half-year-old could possess such powerful strength...

I can only say that he is worthy of being the legendary "Devil Duke".

He is born far ahead of his peers at the starting line, and even if he runs for ten more years, he may not be able to catch up.

——But isn’t Rush the successor of Grand Duke Obsidian? Why does he look so stupid?
"——How do you feel?"

There was a hint of curiosity in Farandelle's tone.

"It's much stronger than before." Yuan Qingzhuo replied calmly, "It gives me more confidence that I won't die over there."

"With me keeping watch for you, you generally won't die."

There was a hint of amusement in Flandel's voice. "But Yuan Qingzhuo, you have to know that I gave you the heart of Duke Obsidian just as you requested, not to listen to some irrelevant clichés like 'it's much stronger than before'."

In the private room, Farandel's fingertips twirled around a pure white "bishop". She smiled emotionlessly, her voice as sweet as a thousand-year-old ice spring:

"——Come on, tell Sister Fa what you have done better than before."

——Sister Fa, can you see me?
This was Yuan Qingzhuo’s first thought.

But he immediately dismissed the idea - if Farandelle could see him directly, why would she bother asking?

The greater possibility is that the aura of his bloodline when it was purified to the [Duke] level was sensed by Farandel who was also in the monastery.

Don't talk about the distance and how she could feel it when so many people were talking.

Yuan Qingzhuo turned his head silently.

——You know, every good thing here was brought back by Flandel himself.

So Yuan Qingzhuo told the truth: "The purity of my demon blood has reached the level of a duke after eating that heart."

He asked knowingly:

"——You won't sacrifice your own family for the sake of justice, right, Sister Fa?"

Because if Flandel wanted to attack him, he would have been beheaded before he even opened his mouth. How could he have the chance to laugh?
"how come."

Farandel said with a smile: "This is a good thing, all good things."

"Sister Fa, are you still going to call me Your Majesty?"

This time, Flandel did not respond. Yuan Qingzhuo guessed that she was probably too lazy to reply to such an obvious joke.

However, this also indirectly confirms a fact - Farandel is different from most people in the monastery.

She does not have strong hostility or murderous intent towards demon hybrids, or even demons with extremely pure blood.

On the contrary, Yuan Qingzhuo heard genuine joy in her tone.

It's time to leave.

Original clear and pure thought.

His first request to the front line of the abyss had been completed, and even exceeded by a large margin.

Now it’s time to complete the second request.

While thinking this, Yuan Qingzhuo accepted both the emergency mission and the branch mission [Death in the Molten River].

[You have chosen to accept the urgent mission "Vision of the Molten River"! ]

[——The Molten River's gaze has quietly descended.]

[Note: You can now view Caroline's general health status. ]

[Caroline's current status is: healthy. ]

[You have chosen to accept the urgent mission branch "Death of Molten River"! ]

[——Will the child who crawled out of the red river of lava also have a day to embrace death? ]

But just before leaving the room, Yuan Qingzhuo suddenly discovered that a blood-red coffin suddenly appeared in the corner of the room.

So abrupt.

He blinked silently, remembering that the previous piece was clearly empty.

And his perception didn't give any hint at all.

The panel only displayed a large [? ].

Not buddy.

——Why is it suddenly turning into a horror movie?
"Sister Fa, I have a question."

"explain."

"Why did a blood-red coffin suddenly appear in the room?"

"…Don't worry about it. Just go ahead."

Flandre's voice was rarely tinged with negativity.

Yuan Qingzhuo didn't ask any more questions. Just by thinking about the previous legendary materials, he knew that this thing was definitely not something he could afford.

However, having said that, before leaving, he still took a few more glances at the blood-red coffin that looked like something from the set of a traditional Chinese horror movie.

Then, relying on his greatly improved eyesight, he saw a rather strange symbol.

——A smiling face on a spiral, with two stick figure-like things on the left and right sides.

Yuan Qingzhuo memorized this rather abstract symbol in his mind and quickly left the underground.

"Out? Next we'll go to Warehouse No. 8... Do you know the location? That would be great."

This time, there was no need for Flandel to show the way. Yuan Qingzhuo ran at an extremely fast speed, following the shortcut along the monastery map he had memorized in his mind and arrived in front of Warehouse No. 8.

On the way, he also ran into several nuns who were patrolling at night with lanterns to prevent any naughty children from falling outside... They were frightened by a gust of cold wind passing by them.

"Just push the door open. Everything you want is ready." Yuan Qingzhuo did not hesitate. He pushed open the heavy door of Warehouse No. 8, leaving a gap just enough for one person to pass through, and then squeezed in.

Wait a minute...

Is there someone behind this?

Yuan Qingzhuo sensed a hint of cold air and turned around calmly, just in time to meet the eyes of the man in black who was about to close the warehouse door.

He could see that the black-clothed man's cold, mirror-like pupils shrank for a very brief moment.

After seeing that the opponent did not attack him immediately, Yuan Qingzhuo pretended to be familiar with him and said softly:
"Oh, you're the one..."

In fact, Yuan Qingzhuo was already shouting frantically in the "channel":

"Sister Fa? Sister Fa! Sister Fa!!!"

Yuan Qingzhuo couldn't help but feel nervous, because as long as he released the tentacles of his martial arts will a little, he could clearly feel what kind of monster this seemingly ordinary man in black was essentially.

If I were to fight him now, my chance of winning would not be 1-, but it would probably be %.

——It’s outrageous that I can encounter a super BOSS just by strolling around the monastery!
"Yuan Qingzhuo, why are you so anxious...Oh, I see."

Farandelle took her time:
"I was just saying it when I was giving directions, but when you said there was no need for directions, I just forgot about it."

Flandre's words dissolved the silent confrontation into nothingness.
"——This is Nineteen. He will be responsible for activating the temporary altar and taking you to the front line."

It turns out that feelings are friendly forces.

Yuan Qingzhuo heaved a sigh of relief, and then he heard the black-clothed man Nineteen in front of him say, "I originally wanted to close the door to scare you, but I didn't expect to be discovered... You are worthy of being the master's disciple."

Nineteen stretched out his hand to him, and Yuan Qingzhuo stared at the palm wrapped in black cloth and was silent for a moment before saying, "If you want to show your goodwill, my suggestion is not to apply anesthetic on your hands."

Nineteen was stunned for a moment, and the slight scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at Yuan Qingzhuo finally disappeared. He nodded slightly and turned on the lights in the warehouse.

Thus, rich resources were displayed before Yuan Qingzhuo's eyes.

Precious weapons and armor that can be identified by the panel, relatively precious medicines, and large amounts of food and fresh water.

Behind them was a crude stone altar, with stone powder still falling off it, as if it had just been carved.

"You may take any of these at your convenience."

Nineteen said, throwing out another cross-shaped mark: "This is a space mark. You can inject a little spiritual essence into it and engrave it into your body. After that, the three cubic meters of space will be at your disposal."

Yuan Qingzhuo took it.

【Seal of the Court】

【Quality: Sublimation】

[Use: After injecting spiritual essence, you will gain three cubic meters of alien space at your disposal, and you do not need to consume spiritual essence when taking and placing items. ]

[——Standard storage equipment of the Inquisition, available after becoming a formal judge.]

His eyes lit up.

After such a long time, I finally came across the legendary "storage ring" that is so popular everywhere.

However, it seems to be much more convenient than traditional storage rings.

Yuan Qingzhuo placed this tiny thing, which was less than one centimeter long and wide, on the back of his hand and poured the pitiful amount of spiritual essence into his body.

Suddenly, a small streak of light appeared on the back of his hand.

There is no pain and no unnecessary steps.

As long as Yuan Qingzhuo tries to touch the mark on the back of his hand with his mind, he can "see" a white space of neither size.

Oh my god, this is amazing.

Yuan Qingzhuo made up his mind that he must study this thing carefully in the future and add this function to the martial arts will.

What happened next was unremarkable.

——Fully supplied and equipped, Yuan Qingzhuo stood on the crude altar, which was powered by the spiritual essence infused by Nineteen.

"Sister Fa, this won't be a problem, right?"

"You must be kidding. This is the teleportation spell I drew myself. How could there be a big problem?"

"Big problem?"

"Because this is just a temporary altar after all. If we want to teleport to the front line where everything is available, small problems are inevitable."

Nineteen finished the infusion of spiritual essence. He looked at Yuan Qingzhuo silently and made a "good luck" gesture.

"What little problems...like?"

"For example... it's slightly off from where I expected it to be."
.
Yuan Qingzhuo, whose height barely touched one meter thanks to the two horns on his head, stood silently in the wasteland where blood-sand was flying.

A thin moon hung in the leaden sky.

Yuan Qingzhuo kicked the skull with flesh still stuck to it at his feet, turned around and looked around, but there was no living creature that could move.

There were only corpses everywhere.

He walked around and calmed down to analyze the information he could currently obtain.

On the right, there were faint sounds of endless shouting and rumbling, and even the sky was blood-red.

——Frandel said directly that it was one of the front-line battlefields, you are lucky.

On the left was a dark hole with no bottom. Yuan Qingzhuo threw a stone into it, but did not hear any echo for a minute.

——Frandel thought for a moment and said that it was the Jedi [bottomless pit] of the second abyss. A Cyclops had crawled out of it before. You are very lucky.

The back is the direction towards Caroline's coordinates.

——Flandel made a brief analysis of the situation and said that there happened to be a demon lord's army stationed there. On the bright side, at least you didn't run into a lord who was very difficult to talk to the moment you opened your eyes.

"Then according to what you said, Sister Fa, am I really lucky?"

Yuan Qingzhuo looked ahead, the only safe spot that was completely opposite to his destination. After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but curse.

"Think about it, there are so many dangerous places around, and you just happened to land in the only safe area among the three dangerous areas. Isn't this just luck?"

Flandre said this with a slight smile, and then the laughter became louder and louder, accompanied by the sound of slapping his belly.

Farandelle was seldom so happy...

Yuan Qingzhuo's face couldn't help but twitch, wondering if he had been fooled.

——Sister Fa’s words are deceiving!

If there is a next time, he will never believe Flandre's one-sided words. He will at least bring two helpers with him... For example, Nineteen is a good one.

But it’s all here.

Yuan Qingzhuo sighed deeply.

It’s too late to regret now.

He glanced at Caroline's condition, well, still [Healthy].

That’s good. The bad-tempered Dragon Girl rarely makes people feel at ease.

——So what should we do next?
It is still considered "night" now, and I have double the physical strength and recovery ability, so I can still fight quite well.

Maybe beating him would be of no use?
Yuan Qingzhuo had roughly calculated that with his current combat power, it would be easy for him to defeat ordinary white iron rank, and dealing with ordinary mercury rank would not be a problem either.

But if he encountered the third level, sublimation, even the weakest one... Yuan Qingzhuo estimated that even if he used his martial arts will, it would be a 50-50 chance.

And this is the front-line battlefield of the second abyss.

The Stainless Steel Rank is cannon fodder who won’t regret dying even a million times, the Mercury Rank is more numerous than dogs, and the ordinary Sublimation Rank can run around the streets!
"Sister Fa, you are really going to kill me this time..."

Yuan Qingzhuo changed out of his cult-style outer garment and instead covered his face with a hooded windbreaker, leaving only his two horns exposed.

"Isn't this a great situation, a perfect start?"

Farandelle was not worried about a two-and-a-half-year-old child venturing into the abyss alone. She smiled and said, "Aren't you going to rescue Caroline? From what I know, they are most likely facing the Molten River Legion."

"Speaking of the Ronghe Legion, it's not that strong, but it's not that weak either... it's just that its legion leader [Ronghe] is quite capable in fighting."

Yuan Qingzhuo began to eat while trudging, watching his surroundings with caution: "Sister Fa, if you have a solution, just tell me."

"Then I'll tell you... Isn't the front line to your east? Go there first."

Yuan Qingzhuo resisted the urge to curse: "…Reason?"

"You said before that your bloodline is already at the Duke level, right?"

"So what?"

"Stupid! Too stupid, Yuan Qingzhuo!" Frandel sighed immediately: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to seize such a good opportunity!"

Without further ado, Farandel said succinctly, "There are countless deserters from the demon army fleeing from the front line. As a duke, it would be easy for you to gather them together, right?"

"——When the time comes, you can just gather a demon army to fight against Molten River. Even if they are just a bunch of ragtag demons, won't they have a much higher chance of winning than if you go alone?"

feasible.

This method is so feasible.

Is Sister Fa really a genius?

The more Yuan Qingzhuo thought about it, the faster he walked, and even changed his direction to move towards the front battlefield.

"But can't those demons see that I'm a demon half-blood, and actually a member of the cult?"

"Also, is there no demon who dares to kidnap me, or take my head to seek credit?"

These are the only two issues to worry about.

Faced with this kind of question that only illiterate people who have not completed compulsory education would ask, Farandel was dismissive:
"First, with your Duke-level bloodline, the other party would have to be at least an Earl to be able to tell that you are a mixed-blood."

"Secondly, you can go to the stone tablet in front of the Demon King's Court and look at your name... An ordinary demon dares to attack you? Ha, that would be a slap in the face of the entire Demon King's Court."

Flandel's words made Yuan Qingzhuo feel a little relieved.

Just as he was about to reply, he saw a weak demon with wounds all over his body and a frightened face running into his sight a few hundred meters away.

Wow, are there really so many deserters?
