The night was dark and silent.
Even though the two yakshas and mermaids had already gone far away, the sound of their quarreling could still be heard in the air.
"Angel …"
Gounières chuckled in the darkness and shook his head.
"If we really meet, we won't be able to fight."
Gounières turned and left.
According to the rumors of the Angel.
She was an angel who could see "evil". She specialized in killing evil pirates and dark creatures.
Gounières could roughly deduce that this Angel wouldn't kill for no reason.
Although Gounières had killed many people, Gounières had his own bottom line and principles.
Gounières wouldn't kill for no reason. Naturally, he couldn't be considered "evil".
Even if he met the Angel, she wouldn't have any reason to fight Gounières.
Even if they really fought, Gounières wasn't afraid of the so-called Six-Winged Angel.
Gounières silently moved forward in the darkness.
"Although I'm quite strong at the moment."
"There are many experts in the Transcendent World."
"If we really fight, I might not be able to gain the upper hand."
"Working hard to increase my strength is the right way."
"I hope this Holy Shadow Rune can bring about a different change for me."
Gounières thought to himself.
… …
In the silent darkness of the night.
Gounières was currently hiding in a cave on a rocky peak.
This place was very hidden and was excellent for hiding his tracks.
Even if they were to cause a commotion, the yaksha fishmen wouldn't be able to sense it because they were far away from them.
Gounières's hand slowly moved away from the mist-like crown. At the same time, he cut off the sensory channel.
In the darkness, Gounières's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Is this a powerful physical rune?"
"As expected of a unique rune that is related to a Cthulhu creature like the Shadowbeast."
"The effect is indeed amazing."
Gounières sighed softly.
Through his perception, Gounières learned about this Holy Shadow Rune.
It was a kind of rune of the Profound of Darkness, and it was a very strange physical rune.
It has the following characteristics.
First, strengthen the physical body and increase the defense.
The Holy Shadow Rune was a physical rune that strengthened the body. This was its most basic function.
At present, Gounières's physical defense was purely the toughness of his physical body. It had not been strengthened by any other means, so it was like a perfect piece of unpolished jade.
And now, after being strengthened by the Holy Shadow Rune.
It was equivalent to going through a meticulous construction of the defensive structure.
This would allow Gounières to form "Sacred Shadow Scale Armor" under his skin, turning Gounières's body into "Sacred Shadow Body".
This would greatly increase Gounières's defense.
If one were to say that Gounières's physical defense was at the level of a Black Iron Tank Armor.
After being strengthened by the Holy Shadow Rune, it would reach the level of "Transcendent Magic Bronze Tank Armor".
And once it reached the level of Magic Bronze Tank Armor, Gounières's defense would increase by three to four times. His survivability would greatly increase again.
Second, increase the compatibility of the Profound of Darkness.
The Profound of Darkness was a Nature Profound that leaned towards the Profound of Darkness.
Gounières's comprehension of the Profound of Darkness was already very fast.
Now that he had the Holy Shadow Rune, Gounières's comprehension of the Profound of Darkness would increase again. This would also make it easier for Gounières to navigate in pitch-black environments.
Third, Gounières's speed and agility would be further increased.
However, Gounières's body had already been modified by the Holy Shadow Magic Stone once.
The effects of the Holy Shadow Rune shouldn't increase by too much, but it was obviously a good thing.
All in all, the Holy Shadow Rune's effects were very powerful.
Especially in the aspect of increasing the durability of his body.
"More importantly … as my comprehension of the Profound of Darkness deepens, the Holy Shadow Rune will be able to condense the second layer, and even the third layer. At that time, my physical defense will become more and more powerful."
"But that's a matter for the future. At least I have a rune path that can continuously strengthen my body."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Gu Nie's face.
"Previously, I was worried that I would need to reincarnate to inherit the Holy Shadow Rune."
"But after absorbing the Holy Shadow Magic Stone, it's very comfortable to inherit the Holy Shadow Rune."
"I can just directly inherit it. I don't have to worry about problems like incompatibility."
Immediately, Gounières calmed down and began to inherit the Holy Shadow Rune.
The whole process was as Gounières had expected. It was completely smooth and natural.
The Holy Shadow Rune was successfully constructed in his body.
Gounières could clearly feel that under the effect of the Holy Shadow Rune, his physical body had begun to strengthen in all aspects.
After successfully condensing the Holy Shadow Rune, Gounières's original body began to study the Ancient Shadow Door.
But after thinking about it, Gounières gave up.
The Shadow Beast was a strange creature that came out of the Ancient Shadow Door.
Gounières hadn't grasped the mysterious power of Cthulhu yet. Gounières felt that it would be better to study the Ancient Shadow Door after he grasped this strange power.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.
He could only wait patiently for the time to come.
He could only wait for the Great Elder's promotion ceremony and wait for his crew to plunder the wealth of Shadow Island.
While waiting, Gounières didn't stay idle.
Every day, Gounières would spend most of his time monitoring the situation of the entire Night Reef Island's sacrificial ceremony.
The rest of the time, he would hide and comprehend the World Mysteries and the Darkness Mysteries.
Gounières mainly comprehended the World Mysteries, while the Darkness Mysteries were secondary.
As he gradually comprehended the World Mysteries, Gounières's perception of the entire world became stronger and stronger.
Super Sense, Mental Perception Domain, coupled with the deeper comprehension of the World Mysteries, he could sense the world's framework.
This made Gounières's perception within a certain range very powerful.
The World Mysteries was one of the most powerful Mysteries.
It was much more powerful than the Earth, Thunder, Wind, Fire, Water, Wood, and other natural elemental Mysteries.
Everything in the world existed within the framework of the entire world.
When one's comprehension of the World Mysteries was deep enough, one would become the absolute ruler of the entire world.
This was the information that Gounières learned about the World Mysteries when he comprehended the various Nature Mysteries.
At the same time, Gounières also learned a lot from observing the Night Reef Island.
It was all thanks to Gounières's powerful concealment ability.
When Gounières was secretly investigating, he saw many people performing small-scale divinations near the altar.
They seemed to be calculating whether there was any hidden danger or something like that. Unfortunately, no matter how they divined, they couldn't see that Gounières was hiding here.
Those divinations obviously didn't find anything unusual.
This also allowed them to steadily carry out the following steps of the sacrificial ceremony.
Every day, all kinds of strange things were sent to the altar, and then in a burst of white light, those things disappeared.
Among them were some human Extraordinaries.
Even some young teenage merfolk boys and girls were tied up and sent to the altar.
Directly performing a live sacrifice, this was the bloody and cruel method of the Evil God Church.
Gounières was waiting.
Finally, it was time for the grand elder's promotion ceremony to officially begin.
