Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 292: Extraordinary Characteristics Will Not Disappear, They Will Just Transfer
Inside the restaurant of the Golden Dream.

"The blood race is really mysterious..."

As Siatas spoke, Klein couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Among the eight extraordinary races in the Second Age, the vampires were the first to regain their sanity.

It is even possible that vampires have never gone 'crazy'. Perhaps it is the special nature of the vampires' own path that makes them less likely to lose control than other paths. Or perhaps vampires have some special items that can ensure that newborn vampires are not swallowed by tyranny and madness.

But whatever the cause, the result is the same.

That is, among the original eight supernatural races, the vampires are the strongest!

Siatas did not shy away from this, but bluntly stated that the strength of the Blood Clan Ancestor was above that of other ancient gods, because even the Elf King Sonia Solem admitted this himself.

Even if the ancestor of the blood clan was betrayed, he was able to drag the other two ancient gods to death together. This in itself is the best proof.

Fighting one against two and killing both of them is impossible without absolute strength.

The same reason.

After the 'fall' of the ancestor of the blood clan, the blood clan was torn apart and lost its status as an equal to other extraordinary races such as giants and dragons, and could only become a vassal of the elves.

But it cannot be said that the vampires are lingering on, because the relationship between the vampires and the elves is very harmonious. The Elf King Sonia Solem even tried to help the "Goddess of Beauty" Ornia to advance to Sequence 0.

When the ancient sun god 'awoke' and began to take back power from the ancient gods, the remaining five ancient gods were killed one by one, and the elf king Soniathorem could not escape his clutches, and the elves lost their homeland.

But the vampire's 'goddess of beauty' Ornia is still alive, and the vampires are still strong.

They even allied with the Trunsoste Empire to support the Night Emperor's ascension to the throne.

You have to know that at that time, the Night Emperor had the support of the six gods. And the royal families of the four kingdoms in the northern continent today were all angel families of the Trunsoste Empire at that time.

Under such circumstances, the fact that the vampires were able to break through the siege and become the most important supporter of the Trunsoste Empire is a testament to their strength and status.

Of course, in the history, the blood clan gained a high status by marrying the Blood Moon Queen, the former "Goddess of Beauty" Ornia to the Night Emperor. But in the history of the blood clan, even the Night Emperor was supported by the blood clan!

Before the Night Emperor ascended to the throne, the Blood Moon Queen was even stronger than Trenrost. This showed that the Snow Moon Queen at that time had at least two Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, or even uniqueness. This strength could already be compared to that of the Angel King, which was much stronger than an ordinary angel!

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Blood Moon Queen at that time should have had a better chance of being promoted to Sequence 0 than the Night Emperor. But unfortunately, the Night Emperor had the support of the Six Gods, and was even faster than the Blood Moon Queen in ascending to Sequence .

With this premise, the Blood Moon Queen does not need to improve the status of the blood clan through marriage.

An angel king who can become a god at any time is, to some extent, already comparable to gods.

For example, the Abraham family during the Solomon Empire, according to Mobet, all the members of the Solomon Empire at that time believed in the Black Emperor Solomon, except for the Abraham family, who believed in their ancestor Bethel Abraham. Even the Black Emperor tolerated this behavior, which was almost heretical, because Abraham was the one who had the greatest hope of becoming a god at that time!
Even if the Black Emperor Solomon is a true god, he cannot be pushed too hard.

By analogy, the so-called "marrying down" that is recorded in a small amount in historical documents is more like a whitewashing of history by humans and a vanity to prove their own superiority.

Although the 'moon' statement is biased, it is generally credible.

Compared to those fragmented historical documents, the complete history of the blood clan is obviously more credible.

And it lasted until the Fifth Age, which lasted for thousands of years.

The eight extraordinary races are close to extinction. Whether they are giants, dragons, elves or demons, they have long existed only in various documents and no one has ever actually seen what they look like.

Only the vampires are still thriving. They are still hiding among humans and leading a superior life.

Although this is due to their similar body size to humans, it is by no means the only reason.

The people of the Feysac Empire have always considered themselves as descendants of giants. They have no aversion to giants, and giants can rest and recuperate in the Feysac Empire.

But the fact is, there is no trace of any giants even in the Sack Empire.

On the other hand, the blood clan has not only continued to this day, but also still maintains its powerful strength——

Although there is no true God, there are four angels, one of whom can even be compared to the King of Angels!
What's more, this is just the apparent strength. Who knows whether the blood clan has a true god in secret?

Maybe among the current evil gods, or even the righteous gods, there is one who is the ancestor of the blood clan in disguise!

"what is that?"

Just as he was thinking about it, a flash of bright silver suddenly appeared before Klein's eyes.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of the light, only to find that Yu Jin had appeared in the restaurant at some point, standing next to Groselle who was sitting on the ground, and in his hand he was holding a ball of silver-white light that looked like a heart or a miniature sun.

Klein was surprised:

"Is this the extraordinary characteristic of the Demon Hunter?"

He had heard the name of the Giant's Pathway Sequence 4 potion from 'Sun' Derrick.

“To be precise, this is the Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 3 ‘Silver Knight’.” Ember said in a calm tone.

"..."

Klein's expression was a little subtle. The City of Silver controlled the Giant Path, but the highest level was only Sequence 4, 'Demon Hunter'. So he didn't know what Sequence 3 of the Giant Path was called, but since Ember said so, he certainly didn't doubt it.

However, the Church of the God of War is a little bit miserable.

Just because Yu Jin wanted to obtain a Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristic, the Church of the God of War ended up taking advantage of a Sequence 3 Archbishop...

Yu Jin handed the ball of silver-white light to Groselle and said:

"The Archbishop of the Church of the God of War is not in the church, so it took some time, but it doesn't seem too slow."

"slow?"

The corner of Mobet's eye twitched. In less than an afternoon, you ran from the Rorsted Archipelago to Sonia Island and killed an archbishop of the Church of the God of War. You call this slow?
Siatas asked hesitantly:

“Groselle, are you sure you can digest it?”

Groselle was only Sequence 5, although he had digested the potion in the thousands of years in the book. There was no obstacle to advancing to Sequence 4, but the prerequisite was that he had to have the assistance of the ritual.

But now, not only is there no potion formula, no ritual assistance, but even the extraordinary characteristics are two levels higher. Normally, taking extraordinary characteristics directly will definitely lead to loss of control!
Although in the Second Age when the slate was not desecrated, all the supernatural races often did this, but now that there is a safer way, even Siatas would not try to swallow it directly.

She was just stubborn, not stupid. "It's okay with me."

Groselle smiled innocently, took the ball of silver light, raised his head and swallowed it.

The next second, the head of this huge giant seemed to have cartilage disease, and it sank inward. With the vertical eye on the forehead as the core, it slowly squirmed as if forming a nebula vortex.

Inexplicable pain flooded into his mind, making it difficult for this tough giant to contain himself and he almost howled in pain.

But the next second, soft flames burned violently from his body.

Almost instantly, the sunken 'vortex' was filled up, causing the entire giant to burn.

Edwina watched all this with shining eyes, as if she wanted to record all the details of the process in full. She didn't seem to worry at all that her ship would be destroyed because of the changes caused by her promotion.

The gentle warm current flowed into Groselle's body along the vortex, calming Groselle's pain. Some long-lost memories also came to his mind. There were his experiences living in the Giant King's Court, and his experiences guarding the decaying forest...

All these experiences made him miss them, and also made him understand the knowledge contained in certain extraordinary characteristics——

anchor.

At Sequence 3, one is already a deity in some sense, and can respond to prayers within a certain range, which requires a certain anchor. Because one is not at the level of an angel, the anchor does not necessarily have to be a believer, and can be replaced by other things, such as those distinct, mystical marks in life.

The normal promotion of Demon Hunters to Sequence 3 Silver Knights requires the assistance of rituals and even the blessing of gods for this reason.

The ritual can help them stay awake in pain, and the things required for the ritual and the blessings of the gods can also serve as anchors to stabilize their advancement, making them even stronger!

But now, none of that exists.

There is no ceremony, no anchor, and no blessing from the gods, only fire.

This flame, which seemed to burn everything in the world and warm everything at the same time, was Groselle's 'anchor'!
When Groselle figured this out, layers of wings made of illusory light grew out from his back. They combined with the surrounding flames and continued to shrink inwards, collapsing on Groselle's body to form a solid, gorgeous but weightless silver armor.

"Is that all right?"

Mobet opened his eyes wide, obviously in disbelief.

You have to know that Beyonders need the assistance of rituals starting from Sequence 5, otherwise the risk of losing control will increase sharply.

Even with the assistance of rituals, the success rate is not high, and the process is definitely not easy!
When he was promoted to Sequence 5, he almost lost control and turned into a pool of wriggling worms.

And now, in front of him, Groselle jumped two sequences and was promoted directly from Sequence 5 to Sequence 3 Silver Knight without any ritual assistance or potion formula. The process was as easy as eating and drinking water!
The whole process lasted only a few minutes, and Groselle showed almost no pain during the process. He just naturally condensed into a silver-white armor under the flames and completed the promotion in front of them!

All this made Mobet feel unreal.

He subconsciously wondered if the angel could do this, but quickly ruled it out.

If the angel could do this, the Zoroast family, which was protected by the old man, would not have so many people who lost control during the promotion. If it was because the old man's strength was limited, then wasn't it the same for other families?

For the Solomon family, which is protected by the Black Emperor, the promotion process is also accompanied by the risk of losing control.

And every year, many people in the Abraham family lose control due to failure in promotion, and the chance of losing control is even higher than that of other families!

But now, Yu Jin easily did in front of them what even angels and even gods could not do!
Does this mean that...

Mobet suddenly shook his head, stopping himself from thinking any further, otherwise something bad would definitely happen!
Yu Jin turned his gaze towards Groselle who had been successfully promoted, and said:

"You follow them back to Backlund first. I have some things to take care of."

"Okay!" Groselle nodded without hesitation.

Although Klein was somewhat curious about what else Yu Jin was going to do, he did not ask further questions and spoke calmly:

“It’s not a big deal for me, but Groselle is so big that I’m afraid it will cause some unnecessary trouble.”

In an age when giants are almost extinct, the significance of a living giant is self-evident. Klein could already foresee that they would be hunted down by the Church of the Storm and Backlund's military on their way back.

“I think there should be no problem with this.”

Groselle thought for a moment and took the initiative to speak, attracting the attention of others.

The next second, in front of everyone, Groselle's body suddenly 'melted'.

He turned into sticky, heavy "mercury" and rushed towards Longzel, who was closest to him, like a wave, instantly submerging him, making him seem to be wearing a silver full body armor.

A simple and honest face appeared on the chest of the armor, and Groselle said in a humming voice:

"Is this okay?"

"can."

Gehrman Sparrow raised his hand, pinched his chin, and nodded slightly.

Although the knight in silver-white armor was eye-catching, he would not be suspected. After all, there were many adventurers who dressed similarly, and at most they would look a little silly, but would not attract the pursuit of the military.

of course.

This set of silver-white armor looked too "gorgeous" and might attract the covetousness of some pirates. But this covetousness might also be an opportunity. With a Sequence 3 demigod escorting him, the journey would surely be smooth sailing.

When he thought of this, Klein suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Mobet suddenly asked:
"Are you leaving now?"

Edwina glanced at him, then glanced at Siatas obscurely, and said:

"You can have a good rest in Bayam for the night and set off tomorrow."

"During this period, the Golden Dream will stay in the nearby waters."

Mobet immediately looked at Siatas expectantly. The female elf hesitated for two seconds and nodded to accept the proposal.

Mobet breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"It's a good opportunity for us to learn about the local customs and practices. Thousands of years have passed, so it's time to take a closer look at the world today."
