Kakrooom!
The petrified God's body crumbled.
The rumbling gravel brought up a huge cloud of dust.
The dust blocked everyone's sight.
Everyone subconsciously covered their mouths and noses and closed their eyes.
Only Kieran was an exception.
The dust couldn't move any further when it was 5 meters away from him. The black negative energy acted like a shield, blocking the dust.
In fact, not only the dust, within the negative energy range, nothing could escape Kieran's eyes and get close to Kieran.
When Kieran stepped into the center of Ciaran City, the system notification came for the third time.
[Detected player's special bloodline, Shadow Domain (Incomplete) is temporarily activated …]
[Detected player has the skill Touch of Cardinal Sins, temporary level + 3 …]
[Detected player has the skill Body of Evil, temporary level + 3 …]
[Detected player has the skill Body of Evil, temporary level + 3 …]
[Detection completed, player has the skill Saint Thorns, skill is suppressed, temporarily unavailable …]
...
It wasn't the so-called corresponding skills and authentication increase anymore but the extremely accurate changes in the data.
Attributes and skills, there was also [Shadow Domain]!
[Shadow Domain (Incomplete): Replenish HP and Stamina with negative energy. Within the negative energy range, control the negative energy in a small area (no more than 10 meters in radius, Average attack and defense), acquire special Intuition (Hostile beings will have to undergo two authentication of -3 to -4, failing twice will lock onto any hostile being, failing once will discover hostile being); all minions (including summoned beings that can adapt to negative energy) acquire + 1 advantage authentication, HP and Stamina Max + 5%, player and minions (including summoned beings that can adapt to negative energy) acquire one extra Secondary HP recovery, acquire one Shadow Armor, consume a certain amount of negative energy to acquire Secondary HP recovery and Secondary Shadow Armor]
...
Although [Shadow Domain] was incomplete, it was a perfect match with the level 4 [Touch of Cardinal Sins].
[Touch of the Cardinal Sins 4: The Cardinal Sins of Desire flow in your blood. Consume 400 HP to acquire the help of Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath, and Envy. Consume 800 HP to acquire the help of Pride (The embodiment of the sins has your appearance, but each possesses different abilities). The embodiment of the sins will last for 1 minute. If additional time is required, HP will be consumed again. When all Seven Cardinal Sins appear, you can choose to consume 1000 HP to form the Cardinal Sins Beast.]
(Note 1: When the opponent falls into chaos, fear, or has extreme desires or obsessions, they will be devoured by the evil entity!)
(Note 2: 'Original Sin Beast' will lower the quality of spoils of war.)
…
In fact, without [Shadow Domain (Incomplete)], Kieran wouldn't have been able to wield [Touch of Cardinal Sins 4].
Of course, there was also [Body of Evil], which was boosted to level 5.
The additional 400 HP and Stamina allowed Kieran to reach the maximum HP required to fuse with the Cardinal Sins Beast.
A huge buff!
A qualitative change to his skills!
It allowed Kieran's strength to skyrocket.
It was a perfect representation of the "home field advantage"!
With the "home field advantage", anything and everything could be seen in front of Kieran's eyes.
"Ran away?"
Kieran muttered.
He was certain that the Fallen he was looking for was not within the range of negative energy.
It made Kieran frown.
He believed with [Shadow Domain], the Fallen couldn't have evaded his senses.
Even though [Shadow Domain] was incomplete.
So, there was only one possibility: the Fallen knew the situation was bad and ran away.
It wasn't good news for Kieran.
No matter who it was, no one would want to have another holy knight as their enemy, the 'Fallen'.
But soon enough, Kieran's attention was placed in front of him again.
Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride combined into the cardinal sins beast and roared at the sky. The black negative energy rumbled ceaselessly, frightening the mystics around it and forcing them to back off.
Kieran could feel the power of the Eye of Chimeras in his heart getting restless.
Without further hesitation, Kieran dispersed the cardinal sins beast and removed the [Touch of Cardinal Sins].
Although Kieran knew if he continued, the temporary 4 [Touch of Cardinal Sins] could become a true [Touch of Cardinal Sins 4].
However, doing so would put his [Fusion Heart] in a precarious situation.
Balance!
The balance of power between all sides was the most important!
Kieran was well aware of this fact.
As a matter of fact, Kieran already felt a slight pain in his heart.
It was impossible for a normal person like Kieran to do so.
There was only one possibility: under the influence of the negative energy, the balance of [Fusion Heart] would be broken.
So, after Kieran picked up the loot, he walked out of the negative energy zone.
The mystics instantly moved to the left and right, opening up a wide path for Kieran.
He didn't purposely size up the people around him.
Feeling the changes in his body, Kieran left in a hurry.
Fortunately, after the previous battle, the negative energy zone was only left in the central square.
Soon, Kieran was standing under the sunlight.
The moment the sunlight shone on his body, all the buffs disappeared. Kieran first felt weak, then his heart started to beat vigorously.
Dong Dong Dong!
The heartbeat expelled the illusory weakness.
The pain was gone without a trace.
However, there was one thing that exceeded Kieran's expectation.
[Absorbed a large amount of cardinal sins force, Touch of Cardinal Sins leveled up to Touch of Cardinal Sins 2!]
...
"It leveled up already?
Is that why it's restless? "
Kieran squinted his eyes when he saw the system notification.
It was good news for Kieran.
Although the system description of [Touch of Cardinal Sins] was very vague, as the user, Kieran knew how useful it was.
Killing without a trace!
That was how Kieran commented on [Touch of Cardinal Sins].
If it didn't affect the spoils of war, it would be Kieran's favorite skill.
However, it wasn't the only reward Kieran got from the battle.
Wrapped in a golden radiance, a palm-sized Leviathan appeared in Kieran's hand.
[Name: Leviathan of Judgement]
[Type: ETC]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attribute: Judgement 1/1]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: Heart of Judgement]
[Remark: The last remnant of the God of Judgement in the mortal realm. It is very powerful but also very weak.]
...
[Judgement: The sinner shall be punished by the heavens!]
...
"Heart of Judgement?
What's that? "
Kieran frowned when he saw the prerequisite.
However, he quickly placed the legendary item into his backpack and turned around to look at Ohara.
"I need to get back to West Coast City as soon as possible!
I can unleash my maximum speed by myself! "
Kieran said.
From the information hidden in the tattoo of the alchemy enhanced warriors, not only did Kieran know about Braid's plan, but he also knew that Braid wasn't the only leader of the Loran Faction.
There was another leader heading towards West Coast City.
Although Kieran wasn't sure whether Barry was lying or not, he wouldn't be careless in such matters.
So, Kieran bid farewell to Ohara.
Or from a certain aspect, Kieran was eager to get rid of Ohara.
The feeling of being stared at by the Archdeacon of the Sanctuary was extremely uncomfortable.
In order to make his words more convincing, Kieran used the [Night Owl Token] right away.
The moment the scarlet-eyed black warhorse appeared, it attracted the attention of the mystics from afar.
However, Kieran didn't even care about them, he was looking at Ohara.
"Take care!"
The Archdeacon's words made Kieran heave a breath of relief.
Kieran jumped up the warhorse with his hand and glanced over the dense darkness further away. He waved at Ohara and urged the warhorse away.
The remaining negative energy in Ciaran City, Kieran believed even without him, the Sanctuary could handle it.
He didn't need to worry about that.
What he was worried about was West Coast City.
The Night Owl that was trotting away let out a long neigh when it sensed Kieran's intention.
The next moment, it galloped away like a bolt of lightning.
The black warhorse's hooves were flying in the air, the wind was fluttering and the black crow mantle was fluttering along with the wind.
The ruined city was left behind.
The aura of death also faded away.
Everything seemed to have ended.
However, when the mystics who were standing in the ruined city saw Kieran's swiftly vanishing figure, a thought popped up in their mind uncontrollably.
"The Bird of Death that brings death?"
The crowd looked around, the ruined city and the bodies all over the ground seemed to be telling them something.
Only Ohara was different.
She snatched the car keys from Azinder's hand and sprinted towards the parking spot while ignoring Smulder's shouts.
That's right, she wouldn't slow down Kieran.
But it didn't mean she wouldn't follow him.
In her own way!
More than ten minutes later.
