Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 112: Fenrir, the Nightmare Wolf
The spiritual surge emanating from the Chaos Cocoon is becoming stronger and stronger. Fenrir is digesting and absorbing the nutrients of the souls of those extraordinary beings, transforming into an even more powerful abyss beast.

Finally, at a certain moment, a crisp cracking sound came from the "cocoon".

——Rip! The sharp obsidian claws tore the cocoon from the inside, and Fenrir, who had completed the sublimation of his race, broke out of the cocoon!

It has been sublimated into a beast of the abyss that is far more terrifying than the "Shadow-Eating Wolf", and has transformed into a superior race of the "Shadow-Eating Wolves".

——"Nightmare Wolf"!
Fenrir, the "Nightmare Wolf", still has dark flame-like patterns on his body, but the color is no longer the eye-catching scarlet, but a strange purple that is closer to the breath of the abyss; his wolf pupils have changed from pure gold to a hint of dark red and dark green; and his body size is twice as large as that of the "Shadow-Eating Wolf", and his half-atomized body has also transformed from racial sublimation to complete atomization.

At this time, the oppressive feeling brought by the "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir was far beyond what the "Shadow-Eating Wolf" could compare to. The terrifying aura was emanating from it. Even Luo Xiu, the master of the contract with Fenrir, couldn't help but shudder.

As the "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir broke out of his cocoon, Luo Xiu's panel also updated the information of the "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir in real time.

After completing the racial sublimation, the basic attributes of Fenrir, the "Nightmare Wolf", have been greatly improved, while retaining all the abilities of the "Shadow-Eating Wolf".

At the same time, Fenrir also acquired the inherent skill "Nightmare", which is an extremely domineering control skill that allows the enemy to not only deal with various crises on the battlefield in battle, but also endure torture from within!

After Fenrir completed the "race sublimation", the corresponding [Glory] skill "Holy Flame Wolf" has a significantly enhanced effect, although the "holy beast race" has not changed.

In addition to completely inheriting the attributes, the basic value of "Holy Light Shield" has been increased from 30% of the health limit to 50%; and the damage enhancement effect of the inherent skill "Holy Flame" has also been increased from 10% to 20%.

After the "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir broke out of his cocoon, his "threat level" changed from "dangerous" to "twisted".

Generally speaking, the strength of a "twisted-level" monster is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary "triple destiny" transcendent.

As for Luo Xiu, who possesses the "Nightmare Wolf" and the "Mist Raven", the overall strength of their combination has reached a level that can make most of the extraordinary people with the "Triple Destiny" despair.

……

After browsing the detailed attributes of "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir, Luo Xiu closed the panel with satisfaction.

"Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir was surprised by the increased strength after his transformation.

After confirming Fenrir's sublimated state, Luo Xiu lifted the forced summons and allowed Fenrir to return to the Abyss.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu took out the soul of Starro, the "Spirit Adventer". "...Fog night." Luo Xiu called softly, and the raven that had been resting on Luo Xiu's shoulder flew up and landed on the open space in front of Luo Xiu.

The "Soul Manipulator" was activated again, dragging Starro's soul in front of the Mist Raven.

——Swish! The Mist Raven expanded rapidly, and its original shape suddenly became blurred, replaced by a thick black fog that filled the entire room.

Starro's soul was quickly corroded and decomposed by the black mist of the Mist Raven, and digested into its nutrients.

Luo Xiu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed at the edge of the black fog, could feel the spiritual vibrations in the thick fog, like the beating of a heart.

This was a manifestation of the "Mist Hidden Ravens" attempting racial sublimation, so Luo Xiu waited patiently.

After a long time.

The thick black fog gradually dissipated, and the "Fog-Hidden Raven" reappeared in the foggy night.

Unfortunately, the Mist Raven, which was already a "twisted-level" abyss beast, did not sublimate into a "mad-level" abyss beast after devouring the soul of a transcendent with a "triple destiny".

This made Luo Xiu feel a little regretful, but the threat level of the raven, which successfully devoured and digested Starro's soul, increased slightly and became "Distorted +".

The level cap of "Mist Raven" has been raised to lv.40, and the level has also been raised from lv.23 to lv.31. Its various attribute values ​​have also been greatly increased.

After this experiment, Luo Xiu was able to roughly determine that in order for the "Mist Hidden Raven" Wu Ye to truly complete the racial sublimation and raise the threat level from "distortion" to "madness", it would probably need to devour and absorb the souls of at least two extraordinary people with "triple destinies".

“Let’s just stop here first…” Luo Xiu murmured.

All necessary preparations have been completed, and Luo Xiu knows that it is time for him to proceed to the next plan.

……

Three days later.

Vanilla Orchid Market, Sina City.

As the largest market in Sina City, long stalls were set up here very early. Merchants selling all kinds of novel commodities shouted hard, and customers coming and going often lingered in front of various stalls, bargaining with the stall owners with red faces.

Around ten o'clock in the morning is the peak time of the Vanilla Orchid Market, with heavy traffic and crowds of people coming and going.

And right in the middle of the long market street, there is a side street at the intersection with the heaviest traffic.

There is a shop along the street, whose facade decoration blends in harmoniously with the surroundings, but its door is tightly closed. There is a thick layer of dust on the windowsill, and it looks like no one comes to take care of it.

Such a shop was not closed only on this day, but it had never been open for business before - in the dazzling vanilla orchid market, such a shop would not attract too much attention, and no one would be willing to waste the precious thirty seconds of their life staying in front of the store.

But, no one knows.

This shop, which seems to have been closed for a long time, is actually one of the bases of "Blood of Thorns" in the Vanilla Orchid Market!

Inside the store, on a lounge chair made with simple craftsmanship.

A thin, pale man with long hair suddenly opened his eyes.

"A two-faced puppet... the Lord's two-faced puppet..."

The man murmured in a dreamy voice:

"I... I feel... the breath of the two-faced doll..."
