Ring of Fate

Chapter 749 Corpse Oil Candle (Last day to ask for monthly ticket)

A magical item made from the Beyonder trait of the Iron Knight? The law of aggregation of Beyonder trait is really useful... The sensitivity of the Life Hunter to fate should have also made some contribution... Or, could it be the result of arrangement? Lumian was pleasantly surprised at first, and then he suffered from post-traumatic gifting syndrome.

The Magician lady seemed to have noticed his thoughts and smiled.

"I don't know if this is a gift from fate. Even if it is, it is a gift that meets our expectations and can be accepted."

Lumian nodded silently.

The "Hanged Man" next to him said calmly:
“Don’t think too much about it, just think about two points:
"First, you don't have any ability to escape the arrangement now. Sometimes, what you think is resistance and rebellion may be the preset link, and Mr. Fool's angels may not always be by your side to provide you with shelter. Remember, accepting reality does not mean cowardice. Being able to accept reality and persist in looking for opportunities in such a reality is a symbol of courage.

"Second, try to maximize the benefits brought by fate's gift and work hard to improve yourself. Of course, this does not mean giving up. Instead, it will test your wisdom and determination. When you sense danger or unusual problems, remember that we will always stand with you. Remember, Mr. Fool will definitely be able to interfere with that person's arrangements, but you also know that He has not awakened yet and cannot provide you with protection frequently. This can only be used at critical moments."

Lumian listened carefully and nodded slowly. He had actually thought about these words himself, but hearing them from someone else had a different feeling and persuasiveness.

The Hanged Man thought for a moment and added:
"The most important thing to worry about right now is the person who wants to revive the Blood Emperor in your body. You must be extra careful when you encounter a similar situation in the future."

"I'll remember that. Thank you, Mr. 'The Hanged Man'." Lumian greeted sincerely.

The "magician" then brought the topic back on track:

"You can take out the items you harvested. I will help you check the corresponding abilities and negative effects."

After receiving the promise and guarantee, Lumian reached into the Traveler’s Bag and grasped the hilt of the large iron-black straight sword.

Suddenly, he felt that the worries in his heart were like dark clouds in the sky, which were blown away by the terrifying gale and disappeared in an instant.

"Why fear the gift of fate?

"Why are you afraid of the gods' arrangements?

“All of you go to hell!

"All of you go to hell!"

At this moment, Lumian was full of courage. He felt that even if the "True Creator" appeared before him now, he would dare to chop him with the straight sword in his hand!
He drew out the black straight sword whose flame had gone out but was still scorching hot, and handed it to the Magician lady.

The "magician" glanced at him, took it with his hand, and said jokingly:

"How about this one called 'Sword of Courage'?"

"'Sword of Courage'..." Lumian was stunned.

As the black straight sword slipped out of his hand and was held by the "Magician" lady, he shuddered violently.

“What was I thinking?
"I'm just short of insulting that person's honorable name...

"Why would I ever think that I could kill a god right now?"

With a feeling of fear, Lumian turned his gaze to the black straight sword in the hand of the "Magician".

Is it the negative impact?
Can it give people the courage to kill gods?

The Magician's eyes sparkled with stars. She stared for a moment and said:

"This sword can fill the bearer with courage, so that he will no longer be knocked down by fear or become frozen by fear. If you had held this sword just now, even if you were still 'conquered' in the end, you would have been able to hold on a little longer.

"It is very hard and sharp, and can block direct attacks from demigods. It can also significantly affect the defenses of many demigods, and even allow you to launch a 'Harvest' at the level of 'Iron Knight'. However, this will consume a lot of spiritual power, surpassing the ability of 'Drive Destiny', which will probably drain nearly two-thirds of your spiritual power at a time.

“It can also help you bear the damage. In other words, even if you fail to successfully block the corresponding attack and suffer fatal injuries, it can help you bear half of the damage, reducing the fatal injury to a serious one.

"Each of its strikes will be accompanied by high-temperature flames, and according to your will, the flames can spread to the enemy's body through the contact between the two weapons. At the same time, you can also make each strike produce a huge explosion.

“If it is stained with the target’s blood, or the target has been burned by its flames, then you can throw the sword into the sky from five kilometers away. It will be wrapped in flames and fly towards the target like a living artillery shell. It will lock onto the target and then fall down with a bang, creating a violent explosion that can destroy everything in an ordinary square.

“Well, the maximum range is five kilometers, and also, it won’t fly back on its own, you’ll need to recover it.

"There are two negative effects. One is that excessive courage is a deadly poison. Human fear and terror are one of the key reasons why humans have survived to this day. People who do not understand fear and terror and only have courage will inevitably lose their ability to judge and analyze and die quickly.

"Second, it needs a companion. You must prepare at least thirty ordinary straight swords and place it inside to complete the seal. Otherwise, in about a quarter of an hour, it will start indiscriminately attacking people around it, including you. Don't think of using the residual breath of the Blood Emperor to evade or deter it, because this is not a living characteristic of this sword. This is a manifestation of the destructive divinity.

"It will also continuously emit high temperatures, causing ordinary straight swords to gradually melt, so you will have to replenish it with companions every once in a while. Similarly, for the wielder, this is a gradually increasing burning damage, and as a 'reaper', you can withstand it for longer.

"That's about it. If you don't mind, call it the 'Sword of Courage'."

Lumian nodded and said:

"Can the negative effect of filling up your courage when carrying it be avoided by using the 'Traveler's Bag'?"

"Okay." The "magician" nodded slightly.

Lumian thought for a moment and said:

"In the room where I found the sword, there were only armor, an altar, and two other items. Why didn't it destroy those things?"

"That suit of armor is its companion." The "magician" already had the answer.

Lumian did not ask any more questions, but began to think about how to use the Sword of Courage:

You must wait until you have analyzed the situation clearly and made the corresponding judgment before you can draw your sword and rush forward...

This is not a commander's scepter, but a charge horn...

Each use should not exceed a quarter of an hour...

Lumian thought as he reached out and took the Sword of Courage.

The next second, he felt that he didn't need to think so much:
Being afraid of this or that will only lead to failure!

Don’t worry too much or be indecisive in life, just do it!

What are you afraid of?
The "magician" lady reached into the void and took out dozens of straight swords of different styles from somewhere, letting them fly towards Lumian on their own.

After placing the "Sword of Courage" into these straight swords and stuffing them back into the "Traveler's Bag", Lumian instantly regained consciousness.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself silently:
"The ability of the Ascetic is ineffective in this regard..."

Then, he took out the white and delicate leather and the semi-solidified pale yellow and red candle in a small transparent glass bottle.

Bright stars once again appeared in the eyes of the "magician". He took the two items and looked at them for more than ten seconds.

"This is indeed the formula of the 'Desperate Witch's' potion, but the human skin that carries it comes from an ancient 'Desperate Witch'. It carries strong viruses, bacteria and fungi with mystical powers, which will cause people who come into contact with it or stare at it to gradually develop different diseases. Each contact and observation will last no more than ten seconds, and it will recover on its own." Ms. "Magician" briefly introduced the white leather.

Her eyes then moved to the strange candle:

"This is a corpse oil candle, made from the corpse oil of the 'Iron Knight' and the 'Desperate Witch' mixed with other things."

Corpse oil candle... the corpse oil of two demigods... Although Lumian has seen a lot of the world, when he looked at the candle again, he couldn't help but feel that it was a bit eerie and scary.

"What's the use of this?" He was more concerned about this question while feeling strange.

The Magician said after careful consideration:

"After lighting it, it can be used in secret and meditation situations. It should be accompanied by a ritual, but the specific details and the final effect are unclear. Well, you have the residual aura of the Blood Emperor, so maybe you can try it directly without the ritual."

Lumian did not hesitate:
"Okay, I'll try it now."

We are currently being watched by angels and saints, so even if something goes wrong, we can still be saved. If we don’t try now, should we wait until we go back and try alone?
The Magician and the Hanged Man did not stop.

Lumian took the corpse oil candle in the transparent glass jar and sat cross-legged on the deck.

With a snap, he rubbed a white flame between his fingers and lit the black wick of the corpse oil candle.

Then he closed his eyes, sketched the pattern, and began to meditate.

In the state of tranquility, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, making his bones seem a little itchy and gradually burning.

Lumian did not try to endure such feelings, but just tried to maintain his meditative state.

After an unknown amount of time, a dark mist suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

He seemed to be in the fog, standing on the edge of a street whose outline could only be barely seen.

On the opposite side of the street, various not-too-tall buildings were looming, as if only their shadows were left.

Ding-a-ling, a thing similar to a steam train drove over from the other end of the street. It had only two sections and no iconic chimney. There was a strangely shaped bracket extending from the top, connected to something in mid-air.

This... A similar scene instantly emerged in Lumian's memory.

He had seen the same scene in Trier in the Fourth Epoch!

It brings about the emergence of the second layer of that special mirror world.
