Mystery: A Spark

Because his close-combat ability wasn't very good to begin with, if someone were to get close to him silently, he would definitely be doomed.

Tsk, I need to strengthen my close combat skills... Arthur secretly made up his mind.

The instructor, ignoring Arthur's defensiveness, continued speaking to himself:

"Recruit, you have completed this trial of slaying the demon, but there is still one task you have not completed."

"What kind of job?" Arthur asked, puzzled.

"That is, to dig out its heart, baptize it with its fel energy, and ascend to become a true demon hunter."

Advancement within the illusion? What's the use of that? Arthur was somewhat puzzled.

"Instructor, is this promotion ceremony mandatory?" He looked at the demon guard's corpse and asked.

Firstly, he felt that the demon guard was really ugly, and secondly, the demon guard was a humanoid monster.

So if Arthur were to eat its heart, he felt somewhat uncomfortable about it.

But to everyone's surprise, the instructor froze after saying those words.

The instructor did not respond to Arthur's question.

"Instructor, Instructor?" Arthur waved his hand in front of the instructor's eyes, but the instructor did not react.

"Tsk, so it's an artificial idiot." He curled his lip and said speechlessly.

He looked the instructor up and down, shook his head with some regret, and said:

"Ah, what a pity he's a male night elf."

otherwise......

He walked toward the demon guard's corpse, cut open its chest with his battle blade, and saw its large and strong heart.

"This is like eating people's hearts. Oh well, I've already taken a potion made with extraordinary properties, so there's no need to be so dramatic. It's all this damn world's fault." Arthur hesitated for a while, but finally overcame his mental block.

So he bent down and carefully cut out the demon guard's heart, and then, using the inherited knowledge he had just acquired, he began to advance to the level of a demon hunter, using this heart as the material.

Chapter 33 Mark

Arthur first used the green demon blood flowing from the heart of the demon guard as paint to draw mysterious patterns on his body.

It must be said that the Night Elves have a rather excellent sense of aesthetics.

These mysterious patterns, painted on one's body, do not look ugly at all; on the contrary, they are filled with a wild and unique beauty.

After completing the inscription of the magic runes, Arthur looked at the heart of the demon guard.

"A demon is just a monster, a demon is just a monster..." Arthur kept repeating to himself, trying to alleviate his psychological discomfort.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind and ate the extremely ugly-looking heart raw, bite by bite.

Soon, an aggressive energy filled Arthur's entire body, flowing through his limbs and reshaping his body.

"Surely these changes won't affect me in the real world?" Arthur wondered to himself as he felt the changes in his body.

But soon, he no longer had the leisure to indulge in such wild thoughts.

Because after the energy transformed Arthur's body, it quickly surged towards his head.

Moreover, a large portion of it flowed into Arthur's eyes.

"what!!!"

Even though Arthur had prepared himself mentally, he still let out a piercing scream due to the sudden and immense pain.

In World of Warcraft, the Demon Hunter is a powerful hero class, and its combat power is naturally extremely strong.

But one downside is that they are all blind.

The reason is that during the demon hunter's advancement process, powerful fel energy blinds their eyes, thus giving them ghostly vision that allows them to see through demon disguises.

Arthur hesitated for two reasons: first, he was uneasy about eating the heart of a demon guard; second, he would go blind if he advanced to the next level.

Not only that, his eyes were also directly burned out by the evil energy.

Generally speaking, the eyes are the second most vulnerable part of a man's body, and even slight stimulation can cause great discomfort.

Not to mention something like this, where evil energy is used to burn the eyeball directly; the pain from this process is simply indescribable.

"Hah...hah..." After completing the promotion, Arthur knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

At this moment, all he could see was darkness.

In the darkness, Arthur heard the deep, hoarse voice of the demon hunter instructor:

"Well done, recruit. Your promotion to Demon Hunter has been a great success."

"Congratulations, you have become a member of our Illidari."

"Damn it, that hurts so much! And it's made me blind!" Arthur thought to himself, covering his eyes with dissatisfaction.

At that moment, he felt a pair of strong hands lift him up.

The demon hunter instructor chuckled softly:

"Don't worry, child. For us, eyes are not an important thing, because although you have lost your eyes, you have gained more powerful senses."

"Now, focus your attention and try to use your newly acquired abilities."

Arthur endured the discomfort in his eyes and tried to activate his newly acquired ghost vision.

Soon, he felt the darkness before his eyes gradually dissipate, and his vision returned.

But unlike what his eyes had seen before, everything around Arthur now appeared in black and white.

Only the demon hunter instructor before them had a colorful outline.

Whether it's the instructors or the surrounding buildings, you can see some complex lines when looking at them with ghost vision.

"How are you feeling? Are you able to adapt to the new senses?" the instructor asked.

"I feel like it's quite novel," Arthur said, using his ghostly vision to look around.

"Ghost vision allows you to see through illusions and invisible entities, enabling you to see the reality of the world," the instructor said.

Seeing the true nature of the world... In this mysterious world, isn't this just asking for an even quicker death? Arthur thought to himself.

Fortunately, this was only within the trial illusion.

"Furthermore, ghost vision allows you to see the structure of everything, enabling you to find their weakest points and then destroy the target with minimal cost," the instructor continued, explaining the power of ghost vision.

In other words, it can see flaws, which is somewhat similar to the Reaper's ability... Arthur's interest in the Ghost Vision ability has increased considerably.

"In the days to come, I will teach you the combat skills of a demon hunter, and today's trial ends here," the instructor said in a deep voice, taking two steps back.

"Combat skills?" Arthur asked, somewhat surprised.

"That's right. As a demon hunter, we need to develop powerful combat skills."

“Otherwise, we would have no way to fight against those treacherous and cunning demons, let alone hunt them down,” the instructor said in a chilling tone.

"Hmm, that makes sense. I can use this to improve my melee skills..." Arthur thought to himself.

Previously, he had been practicing alone without guidance, but now that he had an instructor to guide him, Arthur was naturally more than happy to accept it.

……

Arthur woke up early the next morning.

He had originally planned to find his informant on the Golden Dream ship here, hoping to get a handgun from him to test whether the extraordinary firearms made by the Lightbringers could fire bullets with added holy damage, just as he had guessed.

However, while Arthur was washing up, he discovered something amazing.

"What the hell is this?" Arthur looked at himself in the mirror and noticed a purple diamond-shaped mark between his eyebrows.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, he discovered two green dots in his pupils.

"It shouldn't have been here yesterday, right? Am I in some Mary Sue novel? How could something like this appear?" Arthur muttered to himself, confirming that the mark and the two green dots shouldn't have appeared during the day yesterday.

Since he had spent most of yesterday gathering intelligence with Danitz, he would definitely ask curiously if such a strange thing appeared on his face.

Therefore, Arthur was certain that the mark and the green dot in the pupil must have appeared last night.

He wasn't too surprised by the green dot, because in World of Warcraft, it's a sign that the body has been corrupted by fel energy.

Arthur was promoted to Demon Hunter in the Trial Illusion last night, so it's understandable that such a mark would appear in his eyes.

Chapter 34 Survival Ability +1

Arthur wasn't too concerned about the changes in his eyes, as this was something that was bound to happen sooner or later when using fel energy.

Moreover, these two green dots are not easy to spot unless you look very closely.

However, the purple mark between Arthur's eyebrows looks too conspicuous. This kind of thing, which should appear in fantasy or martial arts novels, doesn't feel quite right in this mysterious world.

If he walked down the street with such a mark, he would stand out like a crane among chickens, easily attracting attention.

After some examination, Arthur figured out the source of this mark: it was a natural feature that appeared on his body after he bound the Soul Stone.

"This can actually happen when you bind a soul stone? I don't think there's any such setting in the game," Arthur muttered.

Just as he was considering how to cover up the mark, there was a knock on his door, and Danitz's voice came from outside.

"Kid, are you awake yet?"

Upon hearing his voice, Arthur had no time to think of any other solutions, so he simply pulled down his bangs to barely cover the purple mark.

He walked to the door, opened it, and let Danitz in.

"You've successfully advanced?" Danitz asked, knowing that Arthur had collected all the Provocateur Potions.

"Yes, it went quite smoothly. As long as the role-playing is successful, there are generally no major issues with promotion from a lower rank," Arthur replied.

"Congratulations! By the way, there's something I wanted to talk to you about so early."

Danitz began to get down to business:

"This morning the captain sent word that there will be a pirate convention tomorrow, which will be held on a deserted island."

"There will be lots of good stuff at the pirate convention, do you want to go?"
