Eternal Night

Chapter 775 The Long-Awaited Extraordinary Path
Wu Pifu was completely bewildered.

He didn't know how he became a magician.

Of the various classes, he felt that the most likely classes he would become were Swordsman and Berserker, or at least Assassin, right? For example, his Orb of Deception deceived two super-heavyweight beings, the Wheel of Time and Space and the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm, which could be considered assassination, right?

This is what happened?

magician!?

What kind of magic trick is that?!

Even a legendary berserker mage should at least know a light spell, right?
What kind of magician is he?!
Wu Pifu was about to explode in anger in his bewilderment, but immediately a vague message came from the highest place. He slowly accepted the message, pondered for a while, and then revealed a happy expression.

The message from Alaya consciousness and Gaia consciousness was simple: it introduced Wu Pifu's current magician class-specific additional abilities.

Given the agreement between the scattered Heavenly Dao and the Main Brain, Wu Pifu's "rental" fee this time is a complete extraordinary path, and this extraordinary path must match the additional abilities that Wu Pifu is searching for regarding teaming up with partners and small animals, or providing them with combat power, protection power, and survival power.

"Due to the past actions of the proxy Wu Pifu, his reputation (beyond this realm), his behavior, and his strength are judged to be a Super-Grand Rank Magician (EX Rank)."

"This is a special gift, a lost path to transcendence, now one of the ways to collect transcendence from the source (the fusion of Alaya consciousness and Gaia consciousness), Pokémon System Magic (beyond magic, unique in all worlds including this world and the source).

"This extraordinary path will quantify Wu Pifu's comprehensive attributes, including his external attributes, internal attributes, potential attributes, etc., into a quantified value, and then add a percentage to Wu Pifu's summoned creatures, training creatures, and teammates (which require a contract), allowing them to obtain a form and strength based on his legends, history, rumors, and reputation."

"This extraordinary path can be improved, enhanced, and evolved. The stronger the trainer (Wu Pifu) is, the stronger the extraordinary path he controls, and the higher the percentage bonus. At the same time, the combat forms of his summoned creatures, training creatures, and teammates (who need to be contracted) will be stronger."

If we take the information provided by the scattered Heavenly Dao as the main brain information, it would be something like these paragraphs. However, because the information from the scattered Heavenly Dao is in a vague form, Wu Pifu silently sensed it for a long time before he could finish sensing it.

To outsiders, Wu Pifu, the Heroic Spirit, appeared in a daze, and everyone around him was equally dumbfounded. However, their dumbfoundedness wasn't directed at Wu Pifu, or rather, at Wu Pifu, the Magician-class Heroic Spirit, but rather... he actually summoned a Servant!?

"No... this can actually be summoned? What did we do to destroy it?" a robed man asked incredulously.

On the spot, several robed figures had magical runes appear on their palms, wrists, robes, or in their pupils. They immediately declared, "Their spirit origin is extremely weak, far below that of the lowest-ranking servants. This is not a Heroic Spirit, nor any anti-hero, neither a being of heaven, earth, or man, nor a star, nor a 'beast'. This is a phantom spirit!"

Upon hearing this, four-fifths of the robed figures present secretly breathed a sigh of relief. One of them immediately said, "Fortunately, we intervened in time, completely destroying their rituals and stealing and contaminating their sacred relics. Apart from the incantation that they managed to recite at the cost of their lives, everything else was destroyed. The fact that they could summon even a phantom spirit is enough to show that they are in a coma. Fortunately, we intervened in time and did not cause any major mistakes."

Four-fifths of the robed men then regained their arrogant and condescending attitude.

Clearly, the robed figures present were divided into two camps. One camp, consisting of four-fifths of the people, held an absolute advantage, while the other camp, consisting of only one-fifth, was either injured or crippled. Upon hearing that what they had summoned were merely phantom spirits, they all wore expressions of despair.

At this moment, Wu Pifu had just finished receiving information about his Magician class. He was very satisfied. This extraordinary path was exactly what he had been dreaming of. Moreover, the term "Pokémon System Magic" felt very familiar to him. Although he couldn't remember everything, it was undoubtedly from his memories of the 21st century.

"Very good, very good. Then, after I obtain the Holy Grail, this will be my payment for this job!"

Wu Pifu laughed heartily, not caring that so many people were watching him. Relying on the connection brought by the summoning, he looked at a frail young man in a long robe and said casually, "So, it's you?"

Three talismans appeared on the back of the young man's hand, shining brightly, and everyone around him turned their attention to him.

The young man, already pale, was now completely bloodless, yet he still possessed the courage to raise his hand and shout, "In the name of Albert Beta, by the Command Spell, Caster..."

But the young man had only uttered a few words when the talisman on the back of his hand lit up, and a crystal enveloped and solidified him. At the same time, a crystal wall appeared around Wu Pifu.

The crystal prevented the youth's voice from being transmitted, and at the same time, it completely severed the spells that connected his magic circuits.

"No."

A person in a long robe raised their palm, and a large number of void magic runes appeared. Even though the person in the robe was wearing a long robe, their graceful and voluptuous figure could not be hidden by the robe. From the hood of the robe, their long golden hair and fiery red lips were revealed. They were a great beauty.

“Even if it’s just a phantom, it will still become troublesome once it gains the magic of a Command Seal,” the beautiful woman said with a smile.

At this moment, a man in a long robe respectfully said to the voluptuous beauty, "Captain, what should we do? Once summoned, it becomes one of the seven participating teams. If we eliminate it, what will happen to the neutral arbitrators...?"

The beautiful woman sighed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you really think only seven teams are involved this time? Even we are... And putting that aside, neutral arbitration? Heh... Anyway, how can we let these terrorists get a chance? Even if it's a phantom spirit, who knows what the outcome will be? This time, we absolutely cannot afford to lose, so we'll wipe them all out. As for this phantom spirit... it's interesting, a never-before-recorded existence. Seal it up and take it back to Clock Headquarters..."

On the other side, Wu Pifu tapped the crystal, deep in thought. "The titles are still there? That makes sense. This thing is the core of the mainframe; I've never seen titles anywhere else. It's definitely not something the Scattered Heavenly Dao is qualified to block… But the physical strength, internal energy, and Human Immortal martial arts are gone? Wait, the Iron Refining Record is still there? What exactly is this Iron Refining Record? Ah, the negative consciousness has come along too? No, Scattered Heavenly Dao, couldn't you help block this thing as well?"

Wu Pifu muttered to himself, but the reaction outside the crystal was as slow as if he were in slow motion, and not a single sound could be transmitted.

Seeing that the larger number of robed men were preparing to start the killing.

He suddenly smiled and looked at Qiuqiu.

Chiu Chiu tilted her head and looked at Wu Pifu with a puzzled expression, but Wu Pifu grabbed her.

"It's up to you!"

"Go, Pikachu!"

"Chirp? Chirp chirp?? Chirp chirp chirp chirp!!!"

Chiu Chiu was shocked and then furious, but before she could crash into Wu Pifu's head, she was thrown directly into the crystal barrier by Wu Pifu.

The crystal barrier appeared to be very sturdy, but as Wu Pifu threw Qiuqiu at it, a loud crack was heard, and the entire barrier shattered inch by inch. Qiuqiu, glowing with light, fell from the sky and began to grow rapidly. In an instant, a colossal creature, about 300 meters tall, with nine bird heads and emanating an ominous and terrifying black aura, appeared in the arena.

Instantly, magical runes appeared in the pupils of more than twenty robed figures.

"In this world, the Ubume (a mythical bird-like creature) symbolizes death, souls, and calamity!"

“No, impossible!!”

Upon seeing this information, the twenty-odd men in robes immediately roared.

"How could such an incredibly powerful monster from the Age of Gods possibly be of the modern world?! Doesn't it even care about the Counter Force? Our entire era will be dragged into the Chronicles coordinate system because of this monster!"

All the robed figures on the scene were dumbfounded. Some of the smart ones immediately began to retreat, while a large number of magical runes emerged from their bodies, and various protective layers began to be added to them, including flowing rocks, metals, wind, water, fire, lightning, crystals, and so on.

No one in the robes attempted to attack the Guhuoniao that Qiuqiu had transformed into. This thing was a monster among monsters, even in the age of gods. It was something that could kill gods and was a terrifying existence that only the chief gods of each pantheon could suppress.

The bird-like creature, Qiuqiu, shook its nine heads. Instead of attacking the robed figures around it, it raised all nine heads at the same time, making angry chirping sounds, and then simultaneously rammed all nine heads into Wu Pifu.

Bang bang bang!
The place, which looked like a valley, suddenly exploded in a series of explosions. Half of the mountain wall, at least several thousand cubic meters of cliff, collapsed. At least a third of the robed people were directly blown away by the aftershocks, each spitting blood from their five orifices. Some were seriously injured, while others died instantly.

Wu Pifu, the other two small animals, and the golden tree bonsai all stood unharmed, an invisible force blocking Chiu Chiu's attack.

"That's right, when a trainer uses a Pokémon, they are in a state of super strong defense."

Wu Pifu looked at his palm with satisfaction and said, "I wonder if this defense stacks with the defense of the title 'Commoner'."

Chiu Chiu's nine heads clashed together, still not satisfied. Instinctively, her nine heads took a deep breath, and instantly, black energy rose from the ground within a radius of a thousand miles. This black energy took the form of skeletons, the dead, and terrifying monsters, turning into black energy that was absorbed by her nine heads. Then, pitch-black flames appeared in the mouths of her nine heads. At the same time, all the robed people present, regardless of their faction, and even all life within a wider radius of a thousand miles, had a premonition that they were about to face true death.

The blonde, voluptuous beauty was bleeding from all five orifices. Her skin, along with that of everyone around her, was rapidly turning deathly pale, like that of a corpse. She screamed in agony, "Teacher, save me!!"

With a sigh, it seemed as if someone appeared, as if something else emerged, as if many worlds simultaneously opened up, and then four-fifths of the robed figures present vanished on the spot.

At the same time, with a chirp, she suddenly transformed from a giant Guhuoniao (a mythical bird) hundreds of meters tall into a kingfisher. While chirping, she forcefully rammed into Wu Pifu's forehead.

All the strange phenomena in the world disappeared, and the remaining one-fifth of the robed people no longer had that premonition of facing death.

Only Wu Pifu seemed to be deep in thought as Chirp Chirp kept hitting him. He murmured, "So, the stronger the form you unleash, the shorter the duration it lasts? Well, besides me controlling my power output, you guys need to start training too. You really are trainers. You and I all need to train for this extraordinary path called the Pokémon System. We need to control our forms and not immediately go into our strongest form. It's best to stay a few levels below that so we can fight for longer. But it is indeed quite safe."

The remaining one-fifth of the robed people who survived all stared blankly at Wu Pifu, who placed Chiu Chiu on his shoulder and brought the three small animals and the golden tree bonsai to the young man named Albert Beta.

"...So, you're my master?"
