Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 15 God-Slaying Spear and Crossbow
Chapter 15

Rosen sat at the coffee table, looking at the paintings displayed there.

Each painting corresponds to a Nen ability he envisions. He wants every Nen ability, but more Nen abilities are never necessarily better. What he needs to do now is find the Nen ability that best suits him and that he wants most.

Then, by developing Nen abilities with this as the goal, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort, rather than doing half the result with twice the effort.

The multiple-choice questions were too difficult, so Rosen had to use the process of elimination.

First, we can rule out the first painting, which depicts the Sharingan that he desperately wanted as a child.

There was a time when he envied the Sharingan's copying ability immensely during exams.

It's not impossible to develop the Sharingan using Nen abilities, but in reality, there are no ninjutsu for him to copy. What he has are supernatural abilities of different supernatural sequences. Copying an enemy's supernatural abilities is not difficult, but applying them perfectly is not an easy task.

Because no extraordinary ability can be mastered without countless trials and tribulations and endless practice.

He can copy supernatural abilities and his enemies' physical skills, but he cannot copy others' profound control over supernatural abilities at the spiritual level. At least, a Sequence 9 Nen ability is not qualified to do that.

Rosen picked up the second painting, which depicted the mysterious study.

He wanted to use his Nen ability to create a space exactly like the Mysterious Study, and then merge the Mysterious Study with this space, using his Nen ability to better control the Mysterious Study, and using the Mysterious Study to strengthen his Nen ability in turn.

However, Nen abilities developed in this way tend to be supportive, and it is difficult to develop powerful offensive capabilities in a short period of time.

He desperately needed lethality, so after considering it, he put the painting down.

Rosen picked up the third painting, which contained paintbrushes, a palette, paper, and an easel.

By integrating Nen abilities into painting and combining Nen abilities with the painter sequence, one can achieve things that the painter sequence at the current stage could not do, such as painting a Pikachu and then using Nen abilities to turn Pikachu into a materialized Nen beast.

"Or not……"

Rosen sighed and put down the third painting.

Indeed, this way of developing Nen abilities allows both sequences to unleash even greater power.

It can even serve as a concealment, hiding the hunter sequence he possesses.

However, the Painter Sequence is inherently a cunning old fox hiding in the shadows. Compared to developing and strengthening the Nen ability of the Painter Sequence, he would rather obtain a Nen ability that strengthens himself, since the biggest weakness of the Painter Sequence is the painter himself.

Rosen picked up the fourth and fifth paintings at the same time, looking at the two paintings in his left and right hands, hesitating.

On the left is a gun. Guns are a type of weapon that are very suitable for the Hunter sequence, as they can better match the various extraordinary abilities that the Hunter sequence will later master. A Hunter who does not have ranged attacks is not a qualified Hunter.

The painting on the right depicts a hunting bow, with various matching arrows drawn next to it.

Choosing between firearms and melee weapons like bows and arrows is too difficult.

In the extraordinary world, bows and arrows are no less powerful than firearms, and at the same level, they may even deal more damage. This is because bows and arrows can be infused with more spiritual energy, while firearm bullets are too small and cannot be infused with as much spiritual energy or carry as much extraordinary power as arrows.

Of course, firearms also have their own advantages, namely faster rate of fire and stronger burst power.

"Only children make choices. I want them all..." Rosen put down the two paintings in his hand, picked up all five paintings, and made up his mind.

Rosen took out paper and pen and quickly drew a very special combination weapon on the drawing board.

First, there's the long gun barrel, and then the crossbow mechanism on top of it.

Overall, it looks somewhat similar to the crossbow bolts of ancient times, also known as the Divine Arm Crossbow. However, the one he drew is quite special, as it can fire both crossbow bolts and bullets, combining the advantages of both firearms and crossbow bolts.

(No suitable image could be found, so please imagine a steampunk-style metallic skin.)
Then Rosen added a scope, but this scope was not the same as the scopes on the guns of the previous life.

Instead, it is a constantly rotating eyeball. In his vision, this eyeball can share his vision, which is equivalent to a third eye. It can have all the effects of a scope, and even if his Nen ability level increases in the future, he can also give this eyeball various eye techniques.

Rosen continued to draw the disassembled magazine, which could hold both bullets and crossbow bolts.

Moreover, the interior has a cubic meter of space, which can store a large number of bullets and crossbow bolts at the same time.

This is essentially a cheap alternative to the Mysterious Study. Rosen wasn't planning on trying to do too much at once. The magazine currently only has one cubic meter of space, but as the Hunter Rank continues to improve, the inside of the magazine might just grow into a small world.

He is currently just developing the seed of his spatial Nen ability, laying the foundation for mastering even stronger spatial abilities in the future.

Finally, Rosen also incorporated the functions of paintbrushes, paints, and drawing paper into the magazine. All the bullets and crossbow bolts inside the magazine needed to be drawn by him. Since it was inconvenient to strengthen the painter sequence with the hunter sequence, he would instead strengthen the hunter sequence with the painter sequence.

With the development plan for his psychic abilities finalized, Rosen quickly created a spiritual painting by imbuing it with his spiritual power.

The strange gun in the painting emerged from the paper, but the eyeball part, which was equivalent to the scope, was a bit strange. It could rotate, but it was like a dead eyeball. With his current painter's skill level, he could paint beef but not a living cow.

The same goes for his eyeballs; fortunately, his death didn't prevent him from developing his Nen abilities.

Rosen released his spiritual energy, which began to permeate the gun in his hand. He began to micromanage his energy, using it to construct the various parts of the gun and assemble them into this special crossbow. In the process, he became increasingly familiar with the crossbow in his hand.

As time went by, his Nen gradually materialized and materialized under the power of the Conjuration system.

It took Rosen five days to materialize the gun and crossbow in his hand using only his mental energy, without relying on any physical objects.

He continued to enhance the gun and crossbow in his hands with various Nen abilities: strengthening the overall material with the Enhancement Nen, enhancing the kinetic energy of the bullets and bolts with the Emission Nen, and enhancing the remote control capabilities of the bullets and bolts after they left the gun and crossbow with the Manipulation Nen.

Then, through the control system, the projectiles and arrows are given the ability to move freely and search for enemies, just like spirit beasts.

Rosen continues to use the materialization system, giving magazine space characteristics and crossbows the ability to transform between the real and the virtual.

Finally, through special abilities, the magazine is imbued with the spirit of the Painter Sequence, enabling it to draw bullets and crossbow bolts using the Painter Sequence, and ultimately, the eye-sighted sight transforms into a third eye and carries the ability of pupil magic.

Normally, it would be impossible for a Nen user to develop such a greedy ability.

However, Rosen not only possesses spirituality that can enhance Nen abilities, but his Hunter Sequence Transcendental Source also grants him a terrifyingly strong affinity for such weapons. In addition, he also possesses the Painter Sequence, enabling him to create spiritual paintings.

Finally, thanks to his perfect affinity with the six elements of spiritual energy, Rosen was able to materialize the hunter's crossbow.
