Ring of Fate

Chapter 761 Devil's Whisper (Thanks to Zhuri for rewarding the Silver Alliance again)
I really lean towards the concept of a good harvest... If I can get the seeds of magical plants, or be in an environment dominated by magical plants and special insects, the ability of the "Harvest Priest" to fight with mystical means will not be too bad, and it may even be able to produce miraculous effects...

There is a lot of room for imagination in the extraordinary means of directly catalyzing plants and making them burst out with all their vitality. Unfortunately, the frontal combat ability of the "Harvest Priest" is limited. If Lugano is a sealed object, it will be completely different if I use it...

Lumian was lost in thought, and looked at Lugano and said:

"How about your physical condition? Have you improved?"

“Some, but not too much,” Lugano answered truthfully.

Lumian nodded, and pulled out the letter that the “Magician” lady had sent along with the “Siso” seal from his trouser pocket. He began to read with the help of the blazing white light floating above his head:

“Tentative title: Devil’s Whisper.

“Positive effects:
"One, 'Devil's Arm':
"In order to minimize the negative impact and allow you to use it without too much trouble, the extraordinary ability of this bone ring has been discounted. The original 'demonization' was for the whole body, but now it is limited to the arm wearing 'Devil's Whisper'.

“It will make the arm swell and grow, dye it dark black, and grow evil patterns, as if it were covered with a thick layer of armor. The flesh and blood will also be extremely elastic and resistant to attacks, so as to reduce damage.

“This arm is immune to most toxins, and is not afraid of curses and fire within a certain range. Its strength is greatly enhanced.

“Second, ‘malicious perception’:
"The reason is the same as before. The 'malice perception' brought by wearing this bone ring can only help you detect whether the people around you have malicious intentions towards you. It cannot allow you to discover the danger that is brewing in advance. Just use it as it is.

"Three, 'Desire Incarnate':
"This is an ability that I specifically requested the Craftsman to highlight, sacrificing the opportunity to gain other powerful effects for it. In addition, in order to fully present it, I agreed to appropriately increase the negative effects of the ring.

“It can transform your body into an illusory black liquid condensed from various emotions and desires, helping you avoid harm, hide your whereabouts, and influence your enemies.

"Does that sound okay, but not worth a special request from the 'craftsman'? You'll know why once you use it."

Seeing this, Lumian muttered silently:
"In other words, by suppressing the negative effects weakened by the first two positive effects, some of the negative effects have been restored to the ability of 'Desire Incarnation'?

"What is it about it that deserves such special treatment from Ms. Magician?"

Lumian was not in a hurry to experiment and continued reading:
"Four, 'The Wrathful Scream':

"By rubbing the demon statue on the ring and making a loud noise, you can create an effect similar to the 'wraith's scream', which can pierce the eardrums of living creatures and harm their spirits. The closer they are to you, the better the effect.

“Negative impact:
“After wearing it, your malice will gradually spread. If you fail to control yourself and indulge in malice, you will slide into the abyss little by little, and eventually be controlled by the malice and this ring. In other words, the consequence of wearing it and indulging malice is that you will become its puppet. It is the driver, and you are the one being used.

“Although it’s not like you will be controlled just by indulging in malice once, but once humans have tasted the sweetness of indulging in malice, it’s hard not to continue.

"According to my estimation, Zhang Yang's malicious intent plus the negative effects of the existing contract ability will offset all of your endurance from the 'Ascetic Monk' and your own will, making you unable to withstand more emotional and desire stimulation.

"In addition, regardless of whether you wear it or not, as long as you carry it, your body will be burned by the sulfur flames, affecting both the inside and the outside. Putting it in the Traveler's Bag can effectively avoid it. As a Sequence 5 Arsonist, you can withstand this burning for a longer time. Just be aware of the poisoning effects of sulfur and seek treatment in time.

"And everyone within a hundred meters around you, including you, will be quietly affected by the 'Devil's Whisper', making them more likely to have evil thoughts and become impulsive. This can also be reduced by putting it into the 'Traveler's Bag'."

Everything else is fine, but after wearing "Devil's Whisper", my emotions and desires will become my biggest weakness...Lumian evaluated this sealed object from "Sisoka".

Its seal is relatively simple, requiring only spatial isolation. In addition, Lumian himself has strong endurance, so he can use it as a magical item.

Lumian took out the pitch-black bone ring wrapped in a dark transparent barrier from his other trouser pocket, pressed his hand on the sphere, and reached inside little by little.

His right hand felt like it was moving through a thick swamp, and it was with great difficulty that he finally touched the ring.

At the same time, the dark sphere collapsed silently, expanded on its own, and merged with the surrounding void.

Lumian then put the "Devil's Whisper" on the index finger of his left hand.

His body suddenly liquefied and became illusory.

He turned into a pool of sticky black liquid. Lugano, who was standing next to him, felt cold all over and trembled uncontrollably after just one look, as if he had seen the most sinister and shameful desires and emotions in the depths of human hearts.

The newly promoted "Harvest Priest" became impulsive without realizing it, and asked Lumian, who had transformed back into a human from flowing black liquid, with a bit of tyranny:

“When can we return to the surface?”

Lumian glanced at him with a cold gaze, and deep in his blue eyes there seemed to be a darkness that no light could illuminate.

Lugano shuddered violently, regaining the familiar feeling of fear, and stammered:

"I, I'll just ask."

Lumian gave a slightly crazy smile, slowly took off the "Devil's Whisper" and put it back into the "Traveler's Bag".

He already understood why the "magician" lady specifically requested this ability:
This is because his desires and emotions are not entirely his own!

A smaller portion of his emotions and desires come from the fate connection with Thermiporos, from the pollution of the residual aura of the "Blood Emperor", and from the blood of Omybella. Normally, they will only affect himself, but after using the "Desire Incarnation" to make these emotions and desires materialize, they can have a certain impact on the outside world and the enemy.

“If I completely envelop a Sequence 4 Saint in the form of the ‘Avatar of Desire’, that demigod will also be tainted by the corresponding emotions and desires… But this attack method means that I have given up on dodging and will have to face the next counterattack…” Lumian made a brief assessment and was quite satisfied with this seal.

If you really have to face a demigod, dodging is sometimes useless, so you might as well give it a try!
However, "Sword of Courage" and "Devil's Whisper" gave him a chance to fight.

…………

When night really fell, Lumian came to the headquarters of "Psychic" magazine at 19 Scheer Street in the Boulevard District and met Mr. K in the basement.

Mr. K, wearing a large hood, said in a friendly manner:
“Let’s pray to the Lord first.”

Lumian nodded slightly and closed his eyes.

His thoughts were tightly wrapped up and did not spread out.

After a while, he and Mr. K opened their eyes at the same time.

Mr. K said in a hoarse but enthusiastic voice:

"Congratulations, you are already a prepared envoy of God.

“This is the greatest reward, being closer to the Lord is the greatest reward for us!

"After that, wherever you go, you can contact the local messengers of God, members of the Aurora Society, or believers of the Lord through me and ask for their help.

"If there are no saints or divine messengers in the area, you have the power to mobilize all the resources there, including personnel, money, intelligence, and supplies."

This is the reward from the Aurora Society, to increase my authority and status? Lumian drew a cross on his chest and said in a low, hoarse voice:

"Praise you, praise you for creating everything, praise you for bearing the sins of the world!"

Mr. K nodded with satisfaction:

"There are no other rewards for now. Next, we will continue to investigate the matter of the vortex."

"Okay." Lumian breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mr. K gave him a material reward, he would hesitate to accept it.

He wasn't worried that there might be something wrong with the item itself, or that there would be that person's mark on it. Since everyone was watching it anyway, it didn't matter a little bit. He just had a psychological barrier.

Lumian thought for a moment and told Mr. K:
"I may go to the South Continent again soon to finish the work on the previous matters. I'm not sure how long it will take."

"Sure." Mr. K nodded slightly. "Which area exactly?"

“Not sure yet,” Lumian answered truthfully.

He really doesn't know yet.

Mr. K did not ask any more questions:

"We have saints and divine messengers in the southern continent. There are many believers of the Lord operating in secret there. Once you determine the specific location, I can help you contact the person in charge of the corresponding area."

"Thank you, Mr. K." Lumian thanked him.

Mr. K corrected:
"Use 'you'. We are all God's messengers. Using 'you' is disrespectful to the Lord."

Lumian was speechless for a moment.

He asked casually:
"Mr. K, does the church you took me to last time have any significance in our Aurora Society?"

Mr. K said in a feverish tone:

“That was the first church built by our Aurora Society.”

Does that have something to do with Bayinfer? Lumian asked a few more questions from a side and indirect angle, then said goodbye and left.

After returning to the memorial area and informing Franka and Janna about the "Sword Knight", Lumian activated the black mark on his right shoulder and began "teleportation".

He traveled through layers of pure color blocks and various indescribable strange creatures. After an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived at the location marked on the letter from the "Knight of the Sword".

The first thing that caught Lumian's eye was a group of pale men and women. They were like bodyguards, scattered around the "Sword Knight" with slightly messy brown hair, quite depressed eyes, and wearing a white shirt and black vest.
