Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 29 Source Material Equipment
Chapter 29

Rosen went to the window and took out a glass bottle containing a finger left behind by Shadow Cat after its death.

Using this as bait is enough to incite the anger and hatred of all the Shadow Cats.

Shadowcats are creatures that hold grudges and will relentlessly pursue their prey until death.

So even after two days, Shadow Cat, unable to find his whereabouts, still refuses to leave.

At this point, once Lawson releases the bait, the nearby Shadow Cats will flock to it like moths to a flame.

Although these creatures possess a certain level of intelligence, their animalistic instincts still override their reason. They will never tolerate provocation. When the World Government eradicated Shadowcats, the records left behind contained numerous examples of using Shadowcat corpses as bait.

Rosen placed the bottle on the windowsill, then turned and picked up a series of spiritual drawings depicting flashbangs from his desk.

These paintings are also placed on the windowsill, so they can be easily thrown out later.

Rosen instantly grabbed the bottle and threw it out the window. The Godslayer Crossbow, which was hovering to the side, fired a bullet that shattered the bottle in mid-air.

The already rotting Shadowcat finger immediately attracted the attention and anger of the nearby Shadowcats.

However, not all of the Shadowcats got close; only one of the Sequence 8s approached and picked up the finger.

Then, I looked warily in the direction where the bullet had appeared, but I couldn't see anything except a tree.

Shadow Cat instantly pulled out a revolver and fired six shots in quick succession, piercing and tearing the large tree to which the mysterious study was attached in half. He did not find the enemy he had imagined hiding in the heart of the tree, but he was certain that the enemy was nearby.

All the nearby Shadow Cats sprang into action, beginning indiscriminate destruction within a radius of over a hundred meters.

All the trees were destroyed and fell outwards, all the plants were burned by flames, and even underground, shadow cats pressed their ears to the ground to listen for any sounds underground. However, despite trying every means, they could not find the enemy's hiding place.

Rosen waited patiently, and soon the three shadow cats appeared together in front of the window.

He couldn't wait any longer; it was impossible for all the shadow cats outside to obediently gather together and stand outside the window.

As the flashbangs on the ten spiritual drawings materialized, they simultaneously flew out of the window and exploded in mid-air.

The intense light instantly dispelled all the surrounding darkness and shadows.

Rosen's Godslayer crossbow, poised to fire, unleashed a barrage of bullets and bolts.

Last time, I killed a Shadow Cat without using any skills, let alone this time, thanks to Death Strike, I increased the damage to 200%.

Although the damage boosted by this skill will gradually decrease back to 100%, it only decreases by 1% per second.

Rosen had calculated that the battle would last no more than five seconds, and in that case, even if there were three shadow cats outside the window, they would only face certain death.

Rosen fired two more flashbangs every two seconds.

In just five seconds, the three shadow cats outside the window were blown to bits by the exploding crossbow bolts.

Some of the spoils were unfortunately swept away by the shockwave of the explosion.

Fortunately, some of the orbs of light remained in place and were retrieved by Rosen using a metal net he had drawn, which he extended through the window.

The loot remains intact, which means that the extraordinary ability hunt has not been activated.

The spoils turning into orbs of light signify a successful hunt.

Hunting three Shadowcats activated the hunting ability twice, and both successful activations corresponded to Shadowcats at Sequence 8.

As for the third Sequence 9 Shadow Cat, since it couldn't be activated for hunting and thus couldn't be converted into a loot orb, the remains and the extraordinary source matter within it were all sent away by the shockwave. Although it was a bit of a pity, it wasn't worth leaving the Mysterious Study to risk retrieving it.

The Shadow Cat, who was still alive nearby, was completely enraged by being killed three times in five seconds by humans right under its nose.

However, reason gradually prevailed over animalistic instincts, and the Shadow Cats began to reveal their hunting instincts. Some of them used Shadow Cloak to lie in wait, while others went to seek help from more powerful Shadow Cats. The Shadow Cats, having gained some of the memories of human hunters, suspected that the humans hiding in the shadows were concealed in an immovable alternate dimension.

Therefore, only by using its claws, which possess spatial abilities, can a shadow cat capture humans hiding in the shadows.

Rosen closed the window; he wasn't worried at all that the Sequence 7 Shadowcat could discover the Mysterious Study.

Two days later, when I counted my spoils again, I wasn't as excited as I was last time.

All the orbs were activated, and a total of three portions of extraordinary source essence, two portions of spiritual crystals, two skill crystals, and three extraordinary artifacts were obtained. This quantity surprised Rosen somewhat. The fact that one portion of extraordinary source essence was missing meant that one portion of extraordinary source essence had been converted into additional extraordinary source essence by the hunting ability.

Setting aside the extraordinary source material and spiritual crystal, Rosen picked up the skill crystal and examined it closely.

These are Wild Tracking, Elemental Shooting, and Jungle Steps.

They are all Sequence 9 extraordinary abilities, none of them are Sequence 8 extraordinary abilities.

This made Rosen realize that hunting ability also has its limits. Although hunting a Sequence 8 enemy above his level would likely activate his hunting ability, the loot such as skill crystals that drop is limited to Sequence 9 at most, as his cultivation level is limited.

If he wants to obtain a Sequence 8 skill crystal, he will probably need to become a Sequence 8 hunter.

After some consideration, Crystal Rosen decided to abandon all three skills. One was perception, one was damage enhancement, and one was displacement enhancement, but the attributes of these skills were not particularly outstanding and were not considered particularly good among the acquired abilities of Sequence 9.

Rosen looked at the extraordinary artifacts with some disappointment, casually tossing the two Sequence 8 extraordinary shotguns aside.

The last extraordinary artifact, which looked like a belt, clearly possessed an unusual spirituality within it.

【Primal Essence Hunting Belt: An Extraordinary Item】

[Level: Sequence 8]

[Attributes: Comes with 15 potion slots; potions stored in these slots do not need to be consumed, and their effects can be directly applied to the hunter.]

[Source Ability 1: Slightly enhances the hunting ability of the Hunter Sequence]

[Source Ability 2: Can increase the level of a Hunter Sequence skill below LV6 by one]

[Equipment Requirements: Hunter Sequence 8]

"Source prefix?"

Rosen realized that only extraordinary artifacts that had fused with complete extraordinary source matter might have such a prefix.

Looking at the attributes and abilities, they are much better than I expected.

The only disappointing thing is that this hunting belt can only be used at Sequence 8.

Although he couldn't use it for the time being, Rosen still picked up the belt, wrapped it around his waist, and admired it carefully.

A black genuine leather belt with a fierce cat head buckle.

It looks great, and it's nice to wear...

Rosen suddenly discovered that after his spirituality came into contact with the belt, he was able to use it.
The belt clearly states the equipment requirements for Sequence 8, yet he can use it for Sequence 9. There could be many reasons for this. Perhaps he is an unheard-of Sequence 3 extraordinary being, or perhaps the belt is an extraordinary artifact transformed from his hunting abilities.

He is still too inexperienced to say for sure which possibility it is.

However, it's always a good thing to be able to use this belt beyond one's level. He immediately put all the commonly used medicines from his backpack into the belt's storage compartment. When he really needed to use these medicines, he might not have enough time to find them, open the bottles, and drink them.

This special belt, which delivers the medicinal effects directly without requiring ingestion, is an absolute lifesaver in critical moments.
