Mystery: A Spark

Fatal attack.

Once this ability is used, hitting any part of the target is equivalent to hitting their weak point.

If you do hit the enemy's true weakness, you can kill them with one blow if their defenses aren't strong.

Simply put, attack the weakness if you can see it; if you can't see the weakness, then the place you hit is the weakness.

In any case, once the Reaper makes a move, it means at least one vulnerability attack.

It highlights a lack of martial ethics.

This also gives the Reaper the strongest physical damage output among those below the demigod level.

Even extraordinary sequences that excel at defense, such as the Guardians, cannot withstand the Reaper's terrifying damage output for more than a few rounds.

Unless it's a vengeful spirit that's completely immune to physical damage, the threat posed by the Reaper will be greatly reduced.

But it's okay, Salamaini will take action if they encounter vengeful spirits.

In addition to his weakness-related abilities, Arthur's abilities from his previous sequences were also enhanced after he was promoted to the Reaper.

For example, his trap-making ability allows him to create more concealed and powerful traps, and he can also hide his extraordinary abilities even more deeply.

Furthermore, Arthur possesses the ability to taunt, making it easier for him to provoke his target's anger and even cause them to lose their minds due to rage.

Most notably, his fire-related abilities have been enhanced; Arthur's fire control and the power of his fire skills have both been significantly improved.

Not only that, he also gained a new fire skill.

That is to transform oneself into a flaming spear, using it for high-speed dashes and even flight. (In the original work, Anderson and the demigod hunter who pursued Ince Zangwill both used this ability.)

In addition, Arthur also gained a decent burst skill.

After using this skill, a layer of blazing white flames will appear on his body.

At this moment, his attack power, speed, and reflexes will all receive a significant boost.

However, this burst of power lasts for a very short time, currently only five seconds, so Arthur jokingly calls this skill "Five-Second True Man".

Fortunately, this skill does not cause weakness after use, and its duration should increase as the Reaper's Potion is consumed.

Hmm, this made Arthur think of some inappropriate things for some reason.

……

On Tuesday, inside a two-story apartment on Berklund Street.

"Benson, have you thought it through?" Melissa asked her brother softly.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. I want to join the Church of Mother Earth." Benson fiddled with the various herbs on the table, his voice somewhat low.

“I had attended a few sermons at the Harvest Church before and knew that they believed in the creed that ‘life is precious and a good harvest is a joy,’ but at that time I did not have a deep understanding of this creed. After all, anyone can talk the talk.”

"But during this disaster, I truly witnessed the actions of the Church of Mother Earth, their dedication and sacrifice, and how they emptied their own churches to shelter the poor people affected by the disaster."

“Those poor people certainly couldn’t afford lodging, but the Church of Mother Earth not only took them in, but also gave them medicine and food for free.”

Benson glanced at Melissa, who was silent with her lips pursed, and his lips twitched slightly, as if he were smiling, but it was also as if he wasn't.

“I went to see them a couple of days ago and couldn’t resist volunteering to help them. They accepted and didn’t ask any questions.”

"I spent most of the day brewing medicine for them, and I barely rested. I felt extremely tired at the time."

He raised his hand, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and said:

"But when I went out and saw the people lying inside and outside the church, looking at their weak faces and hearing their sad groans."

"Then, when I saw them gradually improve after taking the medicine, I suddenly felt less tired."

“I turned back to continue brewing the potions for them, but the very tall bishop stopped me, saying I needed to rest.”

He said that this disaster requires us to work together, rather than one person overworking themselves.

Benson continued gathering herbs, his mouth never stopping:

“Melissa, you haven’t seen it, but that bishop is really tall. I even think he might have giant blood.”

"Perhaps because of his physique, there was a young man with red eyes in the church who was afraid of him, but I found him to be very kind."

“I feel that the Church of Mother Earth is my true home, Melissa, I love that place.”

Melissa looked at Benson and said in a very soft voice:

“You’ve said a lot, brother. If it were just about joining the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess, you wouldn’t need to explain so much.”

"You have other ideas, don't you?"

Benson fell silent, and stopped gathering the herbs.

After a while, he spoke slowly but firmly:

"I've learned that the Church of the Night has Night Watchers, a special team of extraordinary individuals who are dedicated to dealing with all sorts of special events."

"The Church of the Earth Mother Goddess will also organize a similar team, and I want to join it, just like he did back then."

Melissa's eyes widened, and just as she was about to say something, she heard the doorbell ring.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, and Benson stood up, went to the door, and opened it.

What came into view was a completely unfamiliar face.

"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?" Benson asked politely.

The man didn't answer, but instead raised his hand, revealing a citrine pendant on his wrist, and said:

"Sir, would you like a divination?"

Benson's pupils contracted slightly, but his facial expression remained calm.

He showed interest and asked:

Is your divination reliable?

"Of course it's reliable, sir. You can try it if you don't believe me."

Benson paused for a few seconds and said:

"Personally, I don't really believe in this stuff, but my sister is very interested in it. How about you do a divination for her?"

He took two steps back, opened the door completely, and said:

"Sir, please come in."

The man went inside, and Benson locked the door.

The two entered the living room, and Benson couldn't wait to ask:

"Where did you get this pendant?"

"It's me." The man wiped his face, and his appearance changed instantly. He was Klein, who had just sneaked back from the suburbs.

Melissa immediately stood up with joy.

Benson's face lit up with joy, but he quickly became wary and said:

"How do you prove it?"

Since this person's appearance can change, it may not necessarily be the real Klein.

Klein smiled and pulled Horus out of his clothes.

He had just returned to Backlund in disguise when Horus found him. Nobody knows how the little guy managed to do that.

Upon seeing the wolf cub, Benson finally believed Klein's identity.

Because Klein had told him that Horus was very reliable and could be used as proof of identity.

“Actually, if I were really fake, your reactions just now would have already given me away,” Klein said with a smile, placing Horus on the table and sitting down.

Melissa sat down as well, lowering her head somewhat embarrassed.

Klein had once told her that unless she saw him with Horus or Arthur was nearby, she shouldn't act as if he were still alive.

Melissa had done quite well the previous times, but this time, due to the heavy smog, she was very worried about Klein's condition, and her concern made her lose her composure.

"You shouldn't have run into any trouble this time, right? You disappeared for many days, and we didn't dare to look for you."

“If Mr. Heller hadn’t sent that little messenger to let us know we were safe, we would have been quite worried,” Benson said, sitting down.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, aren't I alright?" Klein made a bodybuilding gesture, which made his brother and sister laugh.

After the three siblings chatted and laughed for a while, Melissa looked at Benson, hesitated for a moment, and finally told him what the two of them had been talking about.

"You want to join the Extraordinary Squad of the Church of the Earth Mother?" Klein asked his brother in surprise.

“Hmm.” Benson nodded.

“But the Church of the Earth Mother in Backlund isn’t without…” Klein said, then suddenly realized something.

He had been inquiring about Backlund for the past few days and learned that a miracle had occurred during this severe smog event, performed by the Earth Mother.

He was incredibly surprised at the time, realizing that he had underestimated Arthur's influence within the church.

Now, after hearing Benson's plans, Klein realized that the impact of this smog was far beyond his expectations.

Because he discovered that the traditional structure of the three major churches in Backlund was about to change.

Chapter 231 Yuan Shen, Activate!

In the living room.

After listening to Melissa's words, Klein fell into deep thought.

The changes in the structure of the Backlund Church were something he had not anticipated.

In Klein's view, Arthur's influence must be behind this change in the landscape.

As a professional cult leader, he knew very well that miracles were not something that could be easily achieved.

Based on what he knew, the Church of Mother Earth in Backlund would have a hard time doing that.

If it were one of the three major churches, that would be easier to handle, since they are deeply rooted in Backlund and have many powerful sealed artifacts and high-sequence experts.

After realizing that something was wrong, it is entirely possible that the three major churches would invoke the power of the true God to resolve the problem.

For example, if a thick smog is eventually dispersed by a strong wind, it is very likely due to the power of the storm lord.
