Ring of Fate

Chapter 793 Charm
Not only Lumian didn't dare to look at Franca at the moment, Janna, Anthony and others also turned their heads away subconsciously, as if avoiding some temptation that could penetrate their hearts.

"Fuck, my clothes almost got burned!
“Just one step away from running naked!
"so far so good……"

Franka's cursing voice reached the ears of Lumian and others, making them feel familiar, and it felt like the temptation just now was swept away.

Franka then disappeared, took out a set of clothes from her "traveler's bag", and changed into the clothes in a secluded corner nearby.

Then she lifted her "invisibility", tied her hair into a ponytail, and walked back to Lumian and the others.

"The beauty effect is really good..." Franca took out a mirror, looked at herself now, stretched out her fingers and poked her face, as if feeling the elasticity and smoothness of her skin.

Lumian laughed:
"That's the only change the Pain potion brings?"

Franca was about to speak when she suddenly remembered something. Her lake-blue eyes turned and looked at Lugano.

Lugano immediately said:
"I have to get back to prepare dinner for Ludwig."

"Okay." Lumian nodded.

After Lugano left, Franca felt the changes in her body and spoke slowly:

"Improving appearance, figure, and charm is only one aspect, and the least important one at that. No, it's not unimportant, it just has nothing to do with becoming stronger. No, I remember someone saying that beauty is part of a woman's strength, just like handsomeness is part of a man's strength. Anyway, just understand it this way.

"Other changes include: 'Charm' has become an ability that can be used actively, rather than a passive state."

As a fellow Beyonder of the "Witch" Path, Janna easily understood what Franka meant:
"Before, she showed off her looks, figure, and temperament, allowing people who saw her to intuitively feel that the 'witch' was more charming than normal humans and be naturally seduced. Now, she can seduce people with just a glance, a gesture, or a word?"

"Yes." Franca said with a smile, "But with our own appearance, figure and temperament, the active 'charm' ability will be more effective. Enemies who are charmed will be soft-hearted towards us and reluctant to use ruthless force. Some will even give up resistance just to get close to us. In daily interactions, if we repeatedly use charm on a person and maintain it for a long time, he will truly fall in love with us."

Having said that, Franca deliberately turned her eyes and glanced at Lumian.

She wanted to try out the effect of "Charm" and also wanted to see which one was stronger, this or the endurance of "Ascetic".

Lumian suddenly felt that the color of Franka's lake blue eyes had deepened a little, as if they contained thousands of words and stories, and her skin was so fair and smooth that it seemed like it would break if it was lightly touched.

An indescribable feeling welled up in Lumian's heart, and he couldn't help but curse out loud:
"Fuck! Don't test your abilities here!"

The effect of "Charm" is quite good. It can force the "monk" to curse... Franka smiled in her heart and said seriously:

"Well, isn't it true that you just got promoted, and the power of the potion is still leaking out a little bit, and you can't control it freely?"

"Do you think I will believe you?" Lumian retorted, only to find himself getting a little irritated.

This is abnormal behavior for a "provocateur". The key to "provocation" is to make others angry while keeping yourself calm.

Franka retracted her gaze and continued to talk about the ability of the "Pain" potion:

"The core is 'Disease', which can create a variety of pathogens and distribute them within a range of more than thirty meters. Well, once I get used to the 'Pain' potion and truly master its power, this range can be expanded. It should be able to exceed 40 meters. After that, as the potion is digested, it will reach 50 meters.

"The 'Witch of Pain' can not only create a variety of pathogens, but also accelerate their infection of organisms and the outbreak of the disease. The first ten seconds are the incubation period. The next ten seconds will have some mild symptoms, such as allergies, fever, coughing, sneezing, etc. After that, the disease will quickly become more serious. The target will suffer from serious diseases such as pneumonia. After two or three minutes, their disease will worsen to the point where they may die suddenly or lose their ability to move at any time."

After talking about "disease", Franka happily imagined:

“This goes very well with ‘Assassin’.

"Sneak within a few dozen meters of the target, quietly spread the pathogen, cover the corresponding area, wait until the target shows mild symptoms and becomes aware of it, then take advantage of his reduced strength and affected state, many of his abilities may be interrupted, stab him from behind, and if the first strike misses, immediately change position and keep trying to stab him, dragging the target until he becomes seriously ill.

"'Disease' should be something that the 'Guardian's' ability cannot defend against. The invisible barrier they created seems unable to block the flow of air, and the people they 'protect' can still breathe normally. What is uncertain is whether the invisible barrier created by the 'Guardian's' ability has its own anti-virus and purification function...

"Haha, if you meet 'Admiral of the Deep Sea' again, you won't have to worry about his octopus mask. It seems that it can only protect the spirit and mind, and perhaps also make the body stronger and more resilient."

"It is indeed suitable for assassination and fighting." Lumian evaluated it from the perspective of a "hunter".

He thought about it and asked carefully:

"Will the infection and outbreak time of the disease differ depending on the target's constitution? Will the pathogens you create be burned by the Hunter's flames?"

He was remembering his battle with the Benefactor of the "Society of the Final Destruction of All Things".

"There must be a difference. Undead creatures won't be infected, unless I become the Witch of Despair." Franka said, examining herself. "I don't know if the pathogens will be burned by the Hunter's flames. How about giving it a try?"

“Okay.” Lumian also wanted to confirm.

This can serve as a reference for future encounters with the "Witch of Pain".

Janna and Anthony immediately distanced themselves from the two men and stood at the edge of the Ruwa Complex Execution Ground.

In the night when winter was approaching, bursts of blazing white flames suddenly appeared on Lumian's body. They spread in all directions and burned the air within a range of seven or eight meters.

Franka stood more than ten meters away, her lake blue eyes becoming a little deeper.

As the flames crackled, time passed. Lumian gradually felt a little uncomfortable in his throat, as if he had swallowed a foreign object and wanted to cough it out. His nose also became sore and itchy.

Franka stopped the experiment and stated the conclusion:

"The burning of the Hunter's flame can indeed kill many of the pathogens created by the Witch of Pain and reduce the impact of the disease. It took me almost a minute just now to give you some mild symptoms."

Lumian sneezed and coughed twice, causing the white flames around him to quickly dissipate.

When Janna and Anthony returned, Franca continued:
"The witch's spider silk has also been significantly enhanced. When I was the 'Pleasure Witch', I could only roughly control them to let them entangle and bind the target, but I couldn't do more delicate operations. Now, they are like my arms and can accomplish more things, such as..."

Franka suddenly smiled:

"Tickle you guys!"

As she spoke, Lumian and Jenna both felt something soft and invisible scratching their waists, causing an itchy sensation.

"Childish, have you not grown up yet?" Lumian taunted, and then said, "This will be very useful in battle."

Franca retracted the invisible spider silk with satisfaction and pulled off the thin rope that tied the ponytail.

Her flaxen hair did not fall down, but floated up on its own, with each strand clearly visible and prominent.

"Now, my hair is also a weapon," Franka announced proudly, "Not only can it pierce the skin and inject black flames, but it can also cause a certain stiffness in the part of the target that touches my hair, which can be very effective in close combat."

After letting her hair fall and tying it up again, Franca took out a mirror and said:

"My curses have also become stronger and more targeted. For example, before I had to use a mirror to reflect the target's entire figure, and then I could curse the target by covering the witch's black flame. This was holistic. Now, I can only reflect a part of the target's body, and the impact on that part of the body will be reflected in the corresponding part of the target.

"Other abilities that were previously acquired have also been improved and expanded, including black magic and mirror magic."

Jane listened quietly and said with deep emotion:
"Compared to 'Witch of Pleasure', this is a huge improvement."

“It’s Sequence 5 after all.” Franka was in a very happy mood at this moment.

Seeing this, Lumian nodded slightly and said:
"I will not be involved in the investigation of 'The Man in the Mirror' for the time being. I plan to leave for Lenburg tomorrow."

Go find the "Exiled City" Morola!

He had been learning the language of Lenburg during this period, and found that it was actually the highland language of the Feynaport Kingdom, but with a little more dialect color - Lenburg split from Feynaport after the "War of Oath Breaking" in the Fifth Age.

Therefore, Lumian, who had already learned the highland language, basically mastered the Lemburg language in just a few days.

"So fast? Well, you have digested the 'Reaper' potion, and now you have to think about your promotion to demigod." Franka suddenly sighed.

Lumian glanced outside the Ruwa Execution Center and said to Franca, Janna and Anthony:

"Help me take care of Ludwig, and keep an eye on Lugano."

According to the information description of "0-01" and the hint from Ms. "Magician", it would be best for him to go to the "City of Exile" Morola alone.

Lumian originally wanted to take Ludwig, his godson, but considering that his essence was an angel and had divinity, and that this might cause unnecessary and horrific changes in Morola, he gave up the plan.

In comparison, Thermiporos, who was sealed by Mr. Fool, can be ignored for the time being. Theoretically, he will not trigger "0-01".

"Okay." Franka and others responded to Lumian.
