The black smoke hovered around the Night Watchers, seemingly as if it would scatter with a single breeze.
But Negri's attacks were strangely stopped by this smoke, the immense force only managed to scatter the smoke a bit before it once again filled the air.
The Night Watchers inside the smoke also stopped attacking and focused on defending themselves, trying to stop Negri's attacks.
"My heart is directed towards the Great Sun, eternally beating, eternally burning!" Reid softly chanted, a burning power surged from his body and radiated outwards.
His knight armor glowed red, almost like a piece of burning charcoal, releasing waves of heat into his surroundings. Standing inside this secret room, Negri felt like he was standing inside a furnace.
This was the final Divine Craft that Reid had recorded: [Blazing Sun Halo].
After using this Divine Craft, for a short period of time, he would be able to constantly release heat into his surroundings, turning himself into a bonfire that would burn anyone who got close to him. At the same time, the heat around him would become his best sensing field.
With the help of the Red Sun Brand, he would be able to sense the changes in the heat around him bit by bit. Under the [Blazing Sun Halo], nothing could hide.
Even the germs that disguised themselves as flower petals on his head were burned to ash by the intense heat.
Furthermore, under the effect of the [Blazing Sun Halo], he didn't need too much time to prepare to use the [Blazing Sword]. His sword had already turned crimson.
"Sure enough, their strength is a bit beyond miraculous" Negri's figure slowly retreated, his mind still as calm as ever.
The strength of these people came from external objects and techniques, not from the power of [Origin]. That was why their strength looked like that of a healthy human, but once they were equipped with Divine Arts or equipment, they would become unexpectedly powerful.
A Red Sun Knight who used Divine Craft and a Red Sun Knight who didn't were two completely different concepts.
Because of that, once their information was discovered and they were ambushed before they could react, they would die with all their Divine Craft and equipment.
This was a bit similar to Negri's situation. The reason why he could become so powerful was due to his collection of information, his understanding of the human heart, as well as his understanding of how to use his various abilities. In the Disaster world, he also had the Disasforce brought by the Disaster Authority, but after removing his Authority, he would essentially be nothing more than a soul at the second stage of release.
Once his information was found out by others, and an unexpected power penetrated deep into his territory, he would easily fall into danger.
"That's why I need to truly improve my intrinsic strength." Negri did not lament too much. He was already at the top of the human race in terms of spiritual willpower. His biggest flaw was his hard power.
"Sinner, accept your purification" Reid wielded his Burning Knight's Sword, bypassed the Night Watchers and attacked Negri.
"Do you know what will happen when hot metal suddenly cools down?" Negri didn't try to dodge or evade, completely ignoring the incoming sword and placed both hands on Reid's armor. A large amount of condensate was vaporized, taking away a large amount of heat.
The armor quickly dimmed and let out a clear cracking sound as several cracks appeared. The Burning Knight's Sword also pierced through Negri's body, the terrifying heat melted a large hole through Negri's body.
Negri lightly pushed his hand forward and slowly retracted the bone blade in his hand. Reid's body fell to the ground, the sword in his hand also fell to one side and slowly dimmed.
On the other side, the Night Watcher had already rolled away to escape. Earlier, when he saw the Red Sun Knight using his Divine Craft, he still felt that he had a chance of winning, so he immediately ran away as soon as he realized that he couldn't win.
Negri's eyes flickered, but he didn't choose to chase after him. Instead, he brought the human-faced snake Isrig with him, packed a few things, and left.
Golden blood splattered everywhere, a portion of which landed on the human-faced snake's body. Negri's will continuously flowed into Isrig's mind through the Soul's Blood, telling him that if Isrig was temporarily hiding in the sewers, he was not to contact him unless it was something important.
Not only did he have to be careful when transferring his soul, but he also had to make sure that the Soul's Blood, an item that was connected to each other, didn't fall into the hands of others. There was no guarantee that the Sun Shadow church would be able to use the Soul's Blood to locate Negri's soul. Furthermore, Negri and his subordinates could use the Soul's Blood to communicate with each other from afar, but in this world, such communication wasn't exactly confidential, so there was a high chance that it could be intercepted.
Although the Righteous God Eternal Heat didn't seem to be keeping an eye on the town of Lohr, he was at least on the same level as the New Deity Archaeosaurus, so no amount of caution could be too much against such entities.
"You seem to still have the mark of the Sun Shadow church on you, can you get rid of it?" Negri asked Isrig.
"Sir Negri, this was also the reason why I was in such a hurry to perform the ritual of snakes. The mark had already been left on the layer of remains I had shed. Unfortunately, the lackeys of the Sun Shadow church arrived too quickly, I wasn't able to do it in time before they intercepted me"
"That's good to hear" Negri nodded. The sewers of Lohr were extremely complicated, with countless supernatural creatures living in them, so it would be very easy for Isrig to hide for a while.
"I need to upgrade the Soul's Blood" the current Soul's Blood was no longer strong enough to deal with the current environment.
Since his soul was attached to the Soul's Blood, he had a close connection with it, which allowed him to continuously transfer his soul through the Soul's Blood. In fact, each portion of Soul's Blood contained information about Negri's soul, which allowed him to infect the souls of others and take over Negri's soul within their bodies.
In theory, as long as a portion of Soul's Blood remained, Negri would be able to infect the souls of others and achieve a certain level of rebirth, but this rebirth would mean losing the soul that Negri had developed over the years.
This is where the Soul's Blood is lacking. Right now, it can only record information about my soul, so it's too simple to fuse with my soul. Negri then realized that if his soul was too scattered, Negri's thoughts would be limited by the speed of the Soul's Blood's connection, making it extremely slow to process problems.
Furthermore, once this connection was disrupted, it would be fine if Negri only split his soul into a few parts, but if the Soul's Blood completely spread throughout his body, his soul would completely scatter, turning into a mindless or mindless monster. Only by devouring enough Soul Essence would he be able to reform his soul and regain his rationality.
This was also the reason why Negri's soul was mostly concentrated in a single viral body that used Soul's Blood as its foundation.
