Lord: Sequence Overlord

Chapter 75 The Guardian and Gluttony (Bonus Chapter)
Chapter 75

"The name is somber..."

Rosen breathed a slight sigh of relief; a grayed-out name meant the person was dead.

If he were alive, he wouldn't know how to face it.

Turning to the corresponding page, we see that Rosen's mother loves him very much. It's unlikely that such a mother would abandon her child and suddenly disappear. Sure enough, there are unusual things in the anecdotes captured in the life guide.

Erica held little Rosen as she listened to a concert with her husband, Ian.

When Ian heard a familiar piano piece, he suddenly left, abandoning his mother and son.

Rosen continued reading about Ian's anecdotes, which included the concert, the name of the piano piece, and the fact that its composer was the last masterpiece of the fifth Lord Howard's favorite musician.

"The Fifth Lord Howard, the Secret Hidden in the Pirate Chronicles of Machado?"

Rosen returned to the mysterious study and immediately pulled out a tattered sheet music.

He didn't know much about these things, but he was curious and read a lot of books around that time. He also flipped through this sheet music. If he remembered correctly, this sheet music was the same piece of music mentioned in Ian's life guide.

Rosen quickly gave up on solving the mystery after placing the Pirates of Machado's Travels book on his left and the sheet music on his right.

Because he didn't understand music at all, but he knew there were people who did.

In Rose Castle, Stephanie stared intently at the book and sheet music before her, pondering how to solve the mystery.

The results came out faster than Rosen had imagined, because cracking it was actually not complicated.

The piano notes, combined with the numerical codes of the piano keys, and then the corresponding words extracted from the pirate tale of Machado, were used to form the secret hidden in this storybook by the fifth Lord Howard.

Rosen personally checked and copied the text, his hands trembling slightly as he copied the last word.

Lord Rosen Howard was just a very lowly hereditary lord.

However, the name Howard is not simple; in ancient times, it could be translated as "ancient guardian."

Therefore, the Howard family's ancestors were not simple; they had guarded a special spiritual realm for generations.

The fifth Lord Howard did not say what was inside the Spirit Realm, but only that he was unwilling that the Howard family had guarded the Spirit Realm for generations, shedding blood and sacrificing countless lives for it, only to receive no benefit in return.

Therefore, the fifth Lord Howard ultimately decided to hide this spiritual realm.

Then they hid the secret in their storybook. If future generations cannot unlock the secret hidden in the storybook, this spirit realm will have no further connection with the Howard family. If someone unlocks the secret, they can try to find this spirit realm.

Because although that spiritual realm is dangerous, the more dangerous the spiritual realm, the higher the hidden value.

If the descendants of the Howard family are driven to desperation in the future, they may be able to enter this spiritual realm for one last desperate attempt.

"So that's how they disappeared. Did they die in the Spirit Realm?"

Rosen sighed.

Rosen's parents, Erica and Ian, were probably not prepared to enter that spirit realm. As a result, they accidentally activated the spirit realm, became trapped inside, and died. This is a very rare spirit realm with an unfixed entrance.

As long as the Howard family bloodline exists, the entrance to the Spirit Realm will forever follow the descendants of the Howard family.

Rosen looked at the last line of text; reading it aloud should open that spiritual realm.

It seems he needs to find some time to go in and take a look.

However, that's a matter for the future. The fifth Lord Howard was a Sequence 7 novelist who died from murder. It's too dangerous for him to enter now; he'll only consider it when he reaches Sequence 6. With that thought put to rest, Rosen, in his joy, decided to head to Youkexin for a hearty meal.

In the days that followed, Youkexin's nightmare disappeared once again.

Nightmare Slime devoured the nightmares of millions of people, advancing from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8 without hindrance. Its powerful vitality as a meat shield was further enhanced, and its divine splitting was able to create more clones at once, planting more Nightmare Marks.

However, what Rosen was more looking forward to was the new ability: Nightmare Slime had awakened the Gluttony ability at Sequence 8.

All slimes have the ability to swallow, which simply means they can eat and digest anything.

A researcher once jokingly said that if there were trillions of slimes, they might even eat the corpses of gods.

The simplest way for a slime to evolve is by relying on its most basic ability to devour.

The Nightmare Slime was able to grow from Sequence 9 to Sequence 3 almost because of its devouring ability, which was stronger than that of ordinary slimes. At this point, with the evolution of the sequence, it transformed into a gluttonous ability, a powerful ability that even the Nightmare Slime at Sequence 4 had never mastered.

Rosen held the Nightmare Slime, stared at its pair of big, watery eyes for a moment, and then gave up.

This little thing clearly has some intelligence, but even though it's already at Sequence 8, it still doesn't seem to have developed any brains.

Instead of expecting the Nightmare Slime to explain why it can control its gluttony, it's better to do its own research.

Although Nightmare Slime started from Sequence 9, this time he was given the opportunity to devour nightmares from the very beginning and even shared Nen abilities. However, in his opinion, these were at most icing on the cake and could not possibly give rise to a powerful ability like Gluttony.

[Gluttony LV2 - Able to devour and digest all extraordinary elements below Sequence 3]

The ability description was very simple, but that Sequence 3 was something that Rosen just couldn't understand.
Rosen tried it out, and the Nightmare Slime really can eat anything!

He casually picked up a rare artifact dropped by a Warcraft Knight, and the Nightmare Slime's mouth grew larger and larger as it devoured the artifact. It quickly digested the artifact, and the Nightmare Slime's defense was improved to some extent.

Rosen went to the corner of the mysterious study, opened a cardboard box, and took out a somewhat damaged revolver.

This is the Punishment Revolver left behind by Bennett, the first superhuman he killed. It's a Sequence 8 supernatural artifact, but it's damaged and not easy to use. He's even considered finding an opportunity to repair it and use it as a backup weapon.

But that was a thing of the past. Rosen picked up the Punishment Revolver, disassembled it into parts, and stuffed them into his mouth.

His noble bloodline is fused with the extraordinary bloodline of the Nightmare Slime, allowing him to continuously acquire the abilities of the Nightmare Slime as his sequence advances.

At Sequence 9, it experienced a divine split, which led to the creation of the Nightmare Slime, a special magical creature.

At Sequence 8, his bloodline abilities have not yet been activated.

It is possible to gain the ability to devour nightmares, or it is possible to gain the ability to gluttonize.

Rosen didn't want to devour nightmares because the sharing between the hunter and the pet was enough for him to use the ability to devour nightmares.

However, Gluttony won't work. Although hunters can share abilities with their pets, they can't share body organs. Nightmare slimes have a powerful digestive system that matches Gluttony's ability, but he doesn't have such a powerful digestive system.

Therefore, even though he shared the gluttony ability of his pet, Rosen could only exert a superficial effect on this ability.

What is borrowed is still borrowed, and there is a fundamental difference between it and what you own.

If Rosen can master Gluttony through his bloodline ability, then he will have a chance to truly unleash its power.

By forcing his body to swallow the Punishment Revolver, Rosen was attacking his will to survive, stimulating his body, and stimulating the extraordinary blood flowing through his blood vessels and organs, thereby forcing the extraordinary blood in his body to evolve towards gluttony.

P.S.: I was suddenly notified that it would be available for purchase. I'm not used to the current practice of shortening the purchase period to one month. I'll add two chapters today, and I'll update five more chapters tomorrow at noon when it's officially released. I estimate that the 9,000 favorites won't be a great result, similar to my previous book. I'd appreciate a first-day subscription, thank you!
