I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

He sighed and continued with regret.

“We never expected this guy to have such a high ceiling, which is why Martin was unexpectedly killed.”

"However, this time we have also thoroughly grasped his background. His true situation is almost exactly the same as the information you gave us."

"The reason why it is so powerful in combat is entirely due to the powerful effects of various magical potions."

It's obvious that Klaus has ulterior motives.

He saw Ivan's strange wings, and he also saw Ivan's seemingly indestructible physique.

But he didn't tell Sap a single word at that moment.

Chapter 172: The Complete Third Trait, the Mist Brain Plague with Built-in Anti-Armor

Sap stared coldly at Klaus.

He knew very well what kind of personality this old man had.

He could sense that the other person was hiding something from him, but he also knew very well that he wouldn't get the answer by questioning them like this.

He needs a suitable opportunity to turn the other party into his employee.

Once you sign that contract, everything the other party owns becomes yours.

So he didn't dwell on the matter and changed the subject, asking, "Now that these witchers have been rescued, will it affect the subsequent plans?"

Klaus shook the half-grotesque head that was now gone: "The person has been rescued, but we have enough blood."

"Martin and his colleague were only in charge of a small part of the plan."

"Even if Puru (the ghoul wizard) gets captured, you don't need to worry about this."

“I’ve secured his memory; those guys aren’t capable of getting any information from it.”

Sap didn't have many doubts and nodded slightly: "Yes, after all, you secretly designed that interrogation system."

"Since the plan is not affected, I will proceed according to the originally scheduled deadline."

As he spoke, Sap stood up, his eyes deep and his tone warning.

"I hope we can achieve a win-win situation in this matter."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting you experience the punishment of being deprived of gold."

Klaus smiled slightly: "Don't worry about that, dear Tommy, just like I was your investor forty years ago."

"This time, I am still the investor who will change your destiny."

Sap nodded slightly, then his body disappeared into the dream world.

After Sap left, Klaus grinned, revealing his menacing mouth full of frightening fangs, his voice trembling.

"Arkham, the one blessed by the great and merciful God..."

"As long as I have you! As long as I have you! I will have the opportunity to completely contain the skeletal holy child."

"To become a high-ranking financier with the lifespan of a ghoul!"

As he was being corroded by the blood, Klaus also clearly felt the immense power contained within it.

Various inexplicable toxins, extraordinary properties, and demonic auras...

He couldn't perceive what many of these things were or where they came from.

But among those deadly forces, he still sensed a familiar aura.

That was the aura of the great and merciful god, the sinister king of bones.

The aura was completely different from the aura they usually exuded during their rituals.

More moderate, more broad.

If they usually faced the oppressive aura of a giant looking down from above.

The aura within Ivan's body was like a father's care for his child.

The racial cap for ghouls means that their highest level can only reach Master.

Only a few who were granted divine power were able to rise to the rank of lord or superior.

But they are a very small minority, each one being at the level of a divine messenger.

To reach this level, one needs to allow their body to absorb more power from the gods.

However, the normal power of a god is too violent, and his body has a limit.

If he could obtain Ivan's blood or body, he could withstand more divine power.

It's even possible that he could completely merge with the soon-to-be-born skeletal holy child and ascend to a higher position in one step.

“Arkham…”

Klaus touched his face, which was half corroded.

The power within that blood was so complex and violent.

It seemed to be composed of countless complex poisons and extraordinary powers, to the point that his self-healing abilities were no longer able to heal these wounds.

Feeling the stinging pain of the wound...

The stronger the sting, the more it stimulated Klaus's desire.

"Next time, I'm definitely going to have you!"

……

It was sunny on March 12.

A sneeze!

At 7:30 in the morning, Evan, who had just gotten out of bed after a good night's sleep, sneezed.

"Which beauty is talking about me behind my back again? Is it my senior sister or Erdin?"

Evan muttered, rubbing his nose.

"You chicken~!"

With a nimble step, Evan felt his mental state return to normal.

The extreme arrogance and narcissism I felt yesterday, stemming from an overly strong sense of self, has disappeared.

That means...

Then, just as Evan was about to look at the panel, he discovered that he had gone blind in one eye.

He rushed into the bathroom and found that half of his head and half of his neck had turned into verdigris.

He paused for a moment, then raised his arms to take off his clothes and said in a low voice.

"This is a trial."

Five minutes later, Evan stuffed the half-skull along with the verdigris in the neck and trachea under the bed.

Covered in sweat and pale with pain, Evan sat down and looked at the control panel.

The first thing you'll see is the reverse effect of the Energy Potion and the Purification Potion.

Unfortunately, there is a huge difference between this regular version and the fast-acting version.

You reversed the side effects of the energy potion.

Your electrical resistance is permanently increased by 2%.

You reversed the side effects of the purification potion.

Your silver resistance is permanently increased by 2%.

"This regular version of the oral potion is weak."

"The increase in electrical resistance from the energy potion has been reduced from 5% to 2%, and the increase in willpower has also been removed."

"The silver resistance of the purification potion has been reduced from 4% to 2%, and the moon affinity is gone too."

"Tsk, trash!"

He muttered a comment and continued reading.

You reversed the side effects of the Gecko Potion.

Your blood quality will improve by 25% within the next 168 hours.

"After my physique improved, the side effects of the basic magic potion began to weaken."

At this stage, the side effects of the three potions have been reversed.

The oral Penetrating Potion won't arrive until nine o'clock.

The remaining three potions for rectal absorption—Lion, Insight, and Sharpness—each have a duration of sixty hours, leaving forty-two hours remaining.

After reviewing the potion's reversal effect, Evan quickly looked at his third trait, Mist Brain Plague.

[The Misty Brain Plague has absorbed the Ghost King's blessing, and its characteristics have been enhanced!]

[The Fog-like Brain Plague has absorbed the Ghost King's blessing, progress increased by 30%.]

【warn! 】

[Exceptional Trait: Fog Brain Plague has reached 100.4%, and the final effect is about to be unlocked.]

[Upon unlocking the final version, it greatly enhances your mental resilience, allowing you to directly attack the opponent's soul with Brain Plague; upon receiving a fatal attack, it automatically injects the attacker with Misty Brain Plague.]

[Warning: This effect is a cumulative extraordinary property, not a drug, and its side effects cannot be reversed.]

[Upon activation, you will gain the following weaknesses:]

[1. Advanced Nihilism: Your self-awareness decreases by 70%.] (Total cumulative across three stages)

[2. Advanced Collapse: Your constitution decreases by 6 points.] (Same as above)

Upon seeing the final effect of the entire Fog Brain Plague, Evan burst into laughter.

"Hehe...hehe...hahaha!"

Although he tried hard to suppress his laughter, he couldn't hold it in in the end.
