Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 16 Hunting the Divine Authority
Chapter 16

Rosen fiddled with the crossbow in his hand, pondering for a moment the name "Godslayer Crossbow".

This represents his ambition. If the World Government can slaughter five gods to develop five sequences, why can't he slaughter a sixth god to develop a sixth extraordinary sequence?

Whether it's possible or not is another matter, but you can't go through time travel without having any ambition at all.

The God-Slaying Crossbow in his hands sometimes fell into his palm, and sometimes the spear body merged into his arm and disappeared.

The damage is stronger when it's in his hand, but when it's integrated into his arm, his fingers can become the muzzle of a gun. In this state, the damage of bullets and crossbow bolts will be reduced significantly, but it will be more concealed and easier to launch a surprise attack.

In addition to these two attack modes, the God-Slaying Crossbow can also hover around the user, automatically guarding, automatically searching for and killing enemies.

After playing with it for quite a while, Rosen finally opened the God Computer on his retina and entered his own attribute interface to view the detailed attributes of the God-Slaying Crossbow. Soon, all the attributes of this special Nen ability were displayed.

[Godslayer Crossbow LV1: All-elemental Nen Abilities]

[Attribute: Greatly enhances Nen damage; can hold and store all of one's own Nen]

[Attachments: Hunter's Eye, Artist's Magazine]

[Passive: Conversion between real and virtual forms, automatic target acquisition, weak intelligence]

[Extraordinary Ability: Hunting - Hunting spiritual beings can slightly restore one's own spirituality and extremely slightly increase it. There is a certain probability of capturing a spiritual being and gaining additional rewards.]

"hunting?"

Rosen looked at the attributes of the God-Slaying Crossbow with surprise.

The Nen abilities he developed were all expected; the core of his Nen abilities were the Hunter's Eye and the Artist's Magazine.

The former can support eye techniques, or develop new eye-type Nen abilities later.

As for the artist's magazine, he can only draw bullets and arrows with special effects at present, but after the painter's sequence is improved in the future, he may be able to draw other sequence's extraordinary abilities and incorporate them into bullets and arrows.

Therefore, these two are the core, and he did not specifically develop the extraordinary ability of hunting.

However, judging from its attributes, the extraordinary ability of hunting has become the most core and important ability of the God-Slaying Crossbow.

Rosen carefully sensed the God-Slaying Crossbow and gradually understood that this was a change brought about by the extraordinary source quality of the Hunter sequence.

First and foremost, it's important to understand that the essence of the Hunter Order is hunting; hunters satisfy themselves by hunting all things.

The Hunter Sequence originates from the gods, and the extraordinary essence itself possesses power originating from the gods.

That's why the Godslayer Crossbow was born with the extraordinary ability of hunting. This ability is not unique to the Godslayer Crossbow, but rather an extraordinary ability that all hunters will possess after obtaining their own exclusive weapon.

Of course, his hunting skills are stronger, because the effectiveness of hunting depends on spirituality.

His spiritual limit is twelve points, with one more point at each sequence level. This means that his hunting ability will be about 9% stronger at each level. When he finally reaches the legendary Sequence 0, his hunting ability will be at least twice as strong as that of the same sequence.

Finally, even though they are both hunting abilities, they can produce different effects depending on the weapon they are attached to.

His God-Slaying Spear is a Nen ability, and the essence of Nen is life force and spirituality. Therefore, when his hunting ability kills his prey, it can deprive them of a greater amount of life force and spirituality.

We have the God-Slaying Crossbow, but we're still short on bullets and bolts.

Rosen took out all his spiritual paper and drew a portion of the chocolate beans.

These chocolate beans, one for each person restores two points of spiritual energy but doesn't fill you up. With the ever-replenishing spiritual energy, Rosen began to draw bullets and crossbow bolts.

Take bullets for example. If you simply draw a bullet, it will at most have some damage bonus against spiritual beings, but it will not have any other special abilities, because what you draw is just an ordinary bullet.

To give the bullet special effects, you need to draw the desired special effects.

Rosen drew a bullet that bursts into flames the moment it hits the bullseye. The more realistic the burning scene was, the more the painting was incorporated into the artist's magazine, resulting in a bullet with a stronger burning effect.

Rosen spent three days drawing thirty bullets.

Ten of them have explosive properties, ten have armor-piercing properties, and ten have highly toxic properties.

Then, after two more days, Rosen drew ten crossbow bolts. Because of their size, these bolts could hold more Nen, and he could use them to perform Nen enhancement techniques, thereby infusing more Nen to increase their lethality.

Therefore, all ten crossbow bolts possess amplification effects.

It can double the maximum lethality of Nen, and its single-target damage is stronger than bullets with an explosive effect.

With all preparations complete and seeing that it was only noon, Rosen immediately fell fast asleep, waiting for evening to arrive.

"It's time to finally get rid of Bennett..."

Rosen woke up and left the mysterious study with full confidence.

Under the cover of night, Rosen, who had already infiltrated the outer city in recent days, quickly arrived at a secluded place.

Calculating that it took more than five minutes, they immediately opened the door to the mysterious study in nine seconds.

Once inside, Rosen immediately opened the window and waited for his prey to come to him.

At the same time, the crossbow was cocked and the bullet was chambered, and his spiritual energy began to flow continuously into the God-Slaying Crossbow.

Finally, the Hunter's Eye continued to rotate, silently searching for Bennett's whereabouts through the window.

In less than a minute, the Hunter's Eye had already caught a blurry shadow rapidly approaching from the rooftops in the distance.

Rosen immediately realized that Bennett had appeared. Not only was he extremely fast, moving tens of meters per second, but he also possessed a not-so-strong ability to hide. If it weren't for the Hunter God's Demon Eye being able to see human life force, he might not have been able to detect Bennett's appearance.

Bennett stood on the roof, his eyes using Eagle Vision to scan the surroundings like a falcon.

He had been tracking Rosen for months, and apart from confirming that Rosen had not left Redstone City, he had not even seen a shadow of Rosen. Therefore, he could only wait at the train station, hoping that Rosen would show up.

As a newly promoted Sequence 9, Rosen had no chance of escaping the Bloodline Compass's pursuit.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: although the Rosen family has declined, their ancestors still left behind some valuable things, which is why they were able to repeatedly evade the Bloodline Compass's pursuit. However, due to the obstruction of the Ashes outside the city, Rosen was unable to leave Redstone City and could only hide inside the city.

Any extraordinary artifact used beyond its intended level must come at a price.

He has suffered considerable backlash from using the Bloodline Compass these past few days. The Bloodline Compass, which can shield, is at least a Sequence 7 extraordinary artifact. If Rosen, a Sequence 9, uses it for a long time, sooner or later he will be unable to hold on and will have nowhere to hide.

Today, Rosen finally showed up again, and this time he's definitely going to catch this guy.

P.S.: Thank you everyone for voting! Please continue reading!

PS: Nen abilities are not fixed. You will get the first round of enhancements at Sequence 8. Right now, your total Nen amount is very weak, and it will be difficult to upgrade Nen abilities later if they are too strong. Get a Hunter's weapon for now.
