Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 66 Demigod's Pet
Chapter 66

Rosen opened his eyes and sensed the changes in his own spirituality; a happy smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Having merged with the bloodline of the Nightmare Slime, his spirituality has transformed from 11 o'clock to 12 o'clock.

However, it has only just been upgraded to 12 o'clock, and there is still a considerable distance between it and the perfect 12 o'clock.

Conservatively speaking, it will take another two months to complete the painting.

However, considering the Nightmare Slime's ability to devour nightmares, it will only take him a month at most for his spiritual growth to reach the 12-point perfection.

The ability to double one's spiritual growth rate makes this extraordinary bloodline an invaluable treasure.

If it weren't for the unstable divinity within it, this level of extraordinary bloodline would never have been so easily obtained by him.

Rosen continued to close his eyes and devour one nightmare after another; that night, all nightmares disappeared from the entire Youkexin store.

The next morning, Rosen made another discovery.

With a massive amount of nightmares as sustenance, the divine talent of the Nightmare Slime bloodline was successfully born overnight.

All slimes possess the ability to divide themselves, and it is through this ability that slimes reproduce.

Rosen only obtained the extraordinary bloodline of the Nightmare Slime. This bloodline was bound within his blood by the noble extraordinary source essence, and only affected his blood. The effect on his body outside of his blood was limited to strengthening his physique.

Therefore, his body could not acquire the ability to split, but his spirit did.

Rosen can split his own spirit by relying on the splitting ability that transforms into a divine talent, and then continuously devour nightmares to feed this spirit, eventually cultivating it into a living nightmare slime.

Moreover, this magical pet's potential is at least at the Sequence 3 of the initial demigod realm.

Without hesitation, Rosen separated a bit of his spirituality, then closed his eyes and continued to prey on the nightmares that kept appearing in the city.

Not everyone sleeps at night; many people have their days and nights reversed. People with reversed days and nights are definitely not in good spirits and are more likely to have nightmares. So even during the day, Lawson can capture a lot of nightmares.

For the next two months, Rosen drew every afternoon and dreamed every morning and evening.

After two months, not only did his spirituality increase to 12 points of perfection, but he also painstakingly cultivated a nightmare slime using his own spirituality and the power of nightmares. Moreover, after its birth, the slime was also a Sequence 9 perfection with 12 points of spirituality, just like him.

Rosen held the fist-sized Nightmare Slime, squeezing and kneading it as if it were a cold water ball.

He examined the little thing and found that while its survival and defense stats were maxed out, it lacked any offensive capabilities.

Fortunately, summoned creatures can share the abilities of the Hunter Sequence, so the Nightmare Slime has already shared four abilities: Nen, Death Strike, Shadow Cloak, and Extraordinary Senses, which has increased its damage output to some extent.

Thanks to its naturally strong racial vitality, the total amount of Nen within the Nightmare Slime is more than ten times stronger than his.

If this were to develop into a Nen ability, it might even create a Nen ability stronger than the God-Slaying Crossbow.

Although Nightmare Slime is a new life, like all slimes, it has no intelligence and only survival instincts. Therefore, this little thing cannot develop Nen abilities on its own and can only rely on Lawson to help it develop Nen abilities.

Rosen brought over a glass of water and directed the Nightmare Slime to channel its Nen into the glass.

As a result, just like him, he was normally a special type, but after his energy merged with his spirituality, he immediately became a full type.

Based on the Nightmare Slime's talent, Rosen came up with a Nen ability suitable for magical pets.

However, Nen abilities are not something that can be created at will. When he first created the God-Slaying Crossbow, he thought that the God-Slaying Demon Eye, which could replace the scope, would have powerful eye techniques. In the end, he could only give the God-Slaying Demon Eye the opportunity to master various eye techniques in the future.

Achieving instant success is no easy feat, and Rosen soon realized he had underestimated the importance of talent. He had mutated and evolved repeatedly from a regular Sequence 9 slime, nearly reaching Sequence 3 and becoming a demigod.

The Nightmare Slime's talent is unimaginable. Now, with the help of the Divine Split talent, it has successfully gained a new life. Although it has regressed to Sequence 9, it is now a Nightmare Slime starting from Sequence 9. Such talent cannot be calculated by common sense.

Nightmare Slime has 12 points of spirituality, but the most important point of spirituality comes from Rosen.

Any extraordinary sequence can perfectly control its own spirituality.

Therefore, Rosen can manipulate the Nightmare Slime as if it were another body of his.

He merely assisted the Nightmare Slime in familiarizing it with the basics of Nen; this incredibly talented pet had already mastered Nen abilities on its own.

The vast majority of Nen abilities are developed later in life, but a very small number of people are born with Nen abilities.

Nightmare slimes are half innate and half acquired. Their naturally born Nen ability allows them to consume spiritual energy to create clones. These clones have no physical form and are not harmed by matter. As long as they come into contact with a living being, they can imbue the target with a nightmare mark.

If this life is asleep, then the nightmare marker will force this life to have nightmares.

If this being is conscious, then this being will not be able to perceive the Nightmare Slime.

Rosen arrived at the Divine Realm and appeared outside the Divine Beast Pen. He casually tossed the Nightmare Slime in his hand into the Divine Beast Pen. Under his command, the Nightmare Slime immediately created a Nen clone, which then collided with a Sequence 9 Blade Rat Shark hatchling.

The Blade Rat Shark, which had just been trying to pounce on the Nightmare Slime, suddenly swam away blankly.

The Nightmare Slime is right in front of him, but the Blade Rat Shark ignores it.

Rosen tried again. He released the divine beast mark that he had merged into the Sequence 8 adult Blade Rat Shark, severed the pet relationship, and then ordered the Nightmare Slime to create a clone to plant the Nightmare Mark on the Blade Rat Shark.

Just like the baby Blade Rat Shark earlier, this adult Blade Rat Shark also ignored the Nightmare Slime.

Rosen was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that the Nightmare Slime possessed Nen abilities that allowed it to be created autonomously.

After all, he could also force a target to have nightmares using Freddy's abilities.

However, this ability to make the target ignore the Nightmare Slime gave Rosen a great surprise. There are quite a few extraordinary abilities that can make Sequence 9 ignore the effect, but there are very few extraordinary abilities that can work on Sequence 8.

Moreover, this is only his newly acquired Nen ability; he can further enhance it through various means in the future.

Rosen was satisfied as he pulled the Nightmare Slime out of the seawater in the Divine Beast Pen and then injected the Divine Beast Mark into the Nightmare Slime's body.

Although he didn't have the divine beast mark, the nightmare slime was still his pet.

However, with the addition of the Divine Beast Mark, he and the Nightmare Slime can share more extraordinary abilities.

Hunters and their pets can share abilities, but this sharing depends on the quality of the pet's extraordinary skills.

For ordinary pet skills, all shared abilities will be downgraded by one level. For example, his LV2 Shadowmeld can only be shared with Nightmare Slime up to LV1. Of course, if his Shadowmeld is only LV1, then there is no lower limit and the shared ability will still be LV1.

However, the Divine Beast Pen is different; the skills shared by pets linked by the Divine Beast Seal will not decrease in level.

Even the divine beast imprint can be freely peeled off, unlike ordinary skills where changing to a new pet only makes the previous pet disappear.

Therefore, Rosen decided to implant the Divine Beast Mark into Nightmare Slime so that Nightmare Slime could obtain LV2 Shadow Cloak to further enhance its stealth ability. In this way, Nightmare Slime could maximize its Nen ability advantage.
