"You have acquired Barron's expertise: Miser"
…
"Miser: You can build up a 'treasury' with a certain amount of currency or precious metals.
If the wealth in the 'treasury' is not taken out within a certain period of time, the wealth stored in the treasury will increase in value at a certain rate (click to view details)"
…
"Isn't this just eating interest?"
"As expected of a Western devil, he's not very good at fighting, but he's quite good at scamming people and managing money..."
Roger couldn't help but complain a few words in his heart.
However, he himself was also shocked by the terrifying power of this "spirit body".
now.
He was silently savoring the pleasure of that bite!
This big dog...
It seems really strong!
"No wonder I have to consume an extra drop of secondary divine oil..."
“It’s just that the CD time is a little longer.”
Roger looked at the grayed-out specialty on the character panel with reluctance.
…
"Sun Swallowing (Talented Expertise): Tengu can swallow up most enemies within its attack range whose level is not higher than its own in one breath. It can also swallow up sunlight, moonlight, mountains, rivers, and the sea for a short period of time...
…
Note: Enemies killed by 'Sun Devourer' are considered to have suffered a death of level 5 or above in the temporary sub-plane.
「Consumption: 1 extra drop of secondary divine oil」
「Cooling time: 100 days」
…
I have to say.
This expertise can be called a monster-killing artifact.
But he is also a typical bully.
As long as the level of the corresponding monster is not as high as Tengu, there is a high probability that it will be suffocated in one bite!
If it weren't for the dual restrictions of consumption and cooling, Roger would really not want to be a human being!
And that's besides the point.
Tengu has another very perverted specialty.
…
"Heaven Stealing (Talented Expertise): Tengu can temporarily steal 10% of all attributes of all targets that are hostile to him within a 1 km radius, and superimpose them on himself without an upper limit, and the effect lasts for 1 minute."
「Consumption: 1 extra drop of secondary divine oil」
「Cooling time: 100 days」
…
The combination of "Stealing the Sky + Swallowing the Sun" alone is enough to make this Dharma image stand out in Roger's trump card pool.
Not to mention being in the state of a spirit or monster.
Most of the Yellow Bearded Taoist's other abilities are also available!
Roger carefully looked through the list of martial arts.
Judging from the contents in the list.
It might be more appropriate to rename this thing "Stick Technique List".
The Taoist with yellow beard is indeed an avid stick lover.
Roger once suspected that the other party only knew how to play with a stick.
fortunately.
He eventually spotted a familiar-looking martial art in the corner.
After reading the description of that martial art.
The corners of Tengu's mouth tilted up slightly.
He showed a rather evil smile.
on the data bar.
…
"You have achieved a new milestone: Evil Smile"
"Evil smile: This kind of weird smile is obviously not something that humans can express"
"Corresponding title: Arrogant Temperament (Your appeal to certain groups of people, such as 'hermits' and 'madmen', is +100. They may come to you because of your reputation and join your army.)"
…
"What the hell are hermits and madmen?"
In front of the Milestone System that continues to play by its own rules.
Roger's smile faltered.
But now is not the time to worry about these things.
At that moment, Roger suddenly raised his two front legs.
The body of the celestial dog, which looked as majestic as a god, stood up like a human!
Next second.
His front legs pushed towards the empty space around him like fists or palms!
That scene.
It looks like a big yellow dog practicing Tai Chi!
…
At that time.
The army of demons on the sea had already been frightened and fled because of Roger's shocking bite!
The devils fell into a state of madness.
But the instinct of fear is still there.
Even if it is enveloped by the power of the season.
They also ran madly in the east, west and north directions!
It's not just the demons on the loose.
The two Wilderness Gods who were originally watching are also fleeing!
Neither did the sika deer and brown bears.
This big dog that suddenly appeared is so ferocious!
It devoured the entire army of demons in one bite... This is power close to that of the legendary star beasts!
This power frightened them.
And look at that big dog drooling.
I’m afraid you might want to take a few more bites!
As a defector from the Wilderness Camp.
Of course they value their lives more than ordinary people, so they escape the fastest!
After a while.
They fled separately and reached a distance of nearly 1 kilometer!
On the rough sea.
Only Hades, the devil of the north, is not at large.
It’s not because this guy’s courage is unique.
It was because he didn't react to what happened at all!
In his eyes.
The big dog seemed to have just yawned.
More than half of the demons evaporated!
Evaporated...
Hades stood there in a daze.
His thoughtful brain was spinning frantically, but he couldn't figure out anything after a long time.
Everything that happened before his eyes overturned all his cognition.
Looking at Cecilia in the "Purgatory Wind".
Looking at the monster that looks like a human on the platform.
Hades suddenly realized that his struggle was meaningless.
Even if Cecilia failed to be promoted.
The strength displayed by this pair of dogs has already approached the upper limit of purgatory.
Even the "Extremely Evil Blood Wu Ji" could not make up for this huge gap in strength.
This moment.
Hades suddenly seemed to understand Roger's previous strange behavior -
He nodded.
His approval.
His smile...
Those scenes, like slides, appeared in Hades' mind.
It was as if countless knives were stabbing into his heart at the same time!
"He may have already had the power to destroy everything."
"Just playing with us..."
"If that's the case."
"Then I'm really ridiculous. I'm actually trying my best to cooperate with his performance..."
Think of this.
Hades completely collapsed!
He tiredly eliminated his gigantic size——
And at that moment.
The Tengu on the platform, who was ready to attack, finally finished his set of dog-like palm techniques!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A flash of golden light.
The wind is blowing back.
Tengu's front limbs are crossed and clenched.
The spiritual energy flowing within it condensed into a pattern similar to the yin-yang fish.
Next second.
An extremely overbearing suction force burst out from Tengu's palm!
…
"The Spirit in Heaven: The Palm of Return"!
…
boom!
The moment when the wind blows.
The sea outpost was pushed to the top by the tides coming from all directions!
That moment.
All targets within a 3-kilometer radius were sucked back!
Their movements were as if they were under a spell that reversed time.
One by one they retreated involuntarily!
Then they were crowded together in chaos.
Even brown bears and sika deer are no exception!
Under the Taoist Yellow-beard's ultimate Heaven-Returning Palm.
The demons quickly merged with the sea water.
It turned into a circle of human tornadoes!
Tornadoes connect the sea and the sky.
It was spinning around the Tengu image.
Next second.
Roger cancelled the form of the spirit's celestial body.
He holds the stick in his human form.
Jump high into the tornado.
Just beat those devils hard!
…
"Martial Arts: Dinghai Yibing"!
…
"Reminder: Your specialty 'Staff Skills Psychic' is now in effect (click to view description)"
…
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
In the sea tornado.
A series of muffled sounds were heard.
Roger played very seriously!
Each "Dinghai Yigun" will consume a large amount of spiritual energy, and its effect is visible to the naked eye -
Every swing of the Ruyi Holy Stick can not only cause AOE damage of 80 meters long and 5 meters wide, but also summon 80 to 160 dogs covered in golden light!
These psychic fierce dogs are all monsters from the same clan as Taoist Huang Ran!
They have extremely strong group combat capabilities.
After a while.
There are more than 1,000 psychic dogs on the platform!
Between barking dogs and beating sticks.
The devils in the tornado were swept away like fallen leaves by the autumn wind!
Among them, sika deer and brown bears are Roger's main focus.
After all, he is an elite monster and a rebellious god of the wilderness.
They were surrounded by the most dogs and received the most beatings.
final.
The two men died in extremely tragic ways.
What a pity.
Not only did the traitor duo not get any specialties, they didn't even give much loot!
This made Roger angry.
I almost had the urge to whip the corpse!
…
"Auto Pickup: You have obtained the Heart of the Wild (Brown Bear)"
…
"Tower Defense Mode: You have defended against the second and third waves of enemy attacks. It has been detected that there is only one enemy unit left around the sea outpost. Tower Defense Mode ends."
…
"Rewards are being calculated, please wait..."
…
"Huh?"
"Are there any fish that slipped through the net?"
See here.
Roger couldn't help but be a little surprised.
You know.
The Taoist Yellow-bearded's Palm of Resurrection is a super-enhanced version. No one within a 3-kilometer radius should be able to escape.
Who was the one who escaped the clutches of the enemy?
Roger looked over curiously.
All I saw were mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Only a sheep-headed man with numb eyes stood there in a daze.
“It’s him…”
Roger's heart moved.
The murderous look in his eyes suddenly became gentler.
He checked the data log.
…
"Battle record: Hades canceled his giant size and gained 100% toughness for 0.2 seconds."
…
"Hades exempted you from the 'Heaven-Returning Palm'."
…
"Is there such an operation?"
Roger looked at the dazed goat-headed man with interest.
Roger thought about it.
He walked quickly to Hades, without saying a word, just staring at him.
The latter raised his head woodenly , and finally asked hesitantly:
"Why don't you kill me?"
Roger weighed the stick in his hand, intending to kill the man with one blow, but for some reason, he suddenly said:
"I am a contractor."
Hades was stunned for a moment, looking at Roger in disbelief:
"You want me to be your servant?"
"Are you humiliating me?"
Without waiting for Roger to respond.
Next second.
Hades fell to his knees.
"Why didn't you come and humiliate me sooner?"
"I, the goat-headed devil Hades, am honored to be your..."
Roger interrupted coldly:
"Don't worry."
"I have to ask you a few questions first..."
Hades nodded and bowed:
"Of course."
"Master, I will tell you everything I know about your question."
Roger glanced at the Infernal Wind next to him and asked the first question:
"Can you confirm that Xuewu is really dead?"
Hades was stunned for a moment.
His instinctive response was 'Isn't this obvious?'
But after some careful consideration.
He shook his head and said:
"cannot."
"We are all subordinates of Lord Blood Crow. In the world of Purgatory, subordinates cannot absolutely confirm the status of their superiors."
Roger nodded.
He then asked:
"How much do you know about Cage Island, Blood Crow Castle, and Wilderness Temple?"
This time.
Hades recounted everything he knew without hesitation.
Roger silently compared it with the known intelligence.
About Blood Crow Castle.
This guy does the most talking.
Almost the entire Blood Crow's nest was uncovered.
And the Wilderness Temple and Cage Island.
This guy is always vague in his words.
According to Hades himself, he, the Northern Devil, had only taken over more than 30 years ago and had the least experience, so he really didn't know much about those old events.
Regarding Hades's remarks.
Roger did not comment.
Just one last quick question:
"How many humans have you killed in your life?"
Hear this question.
Hades' face suddenly turned red.
He hesitated and said nothing.
Roger weighed the stick in his hand impatiently, and the latter immediately said embarrassedly:
"one……"
"Not even one!"
Roger immediately frowned and shouted:
"Are you lying?!"
Hades quickly explained:
“I certainly haven’t been able to kill a human being myself.
Before I became the Devil of the North, I was always at the bottom of the Devil's contempt chain——
My race is a goat-headed person with devil blood, you know...
In short, I didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with humans at that time.
…
Then I did grow up.
The title of "Brave and Wise Hades" was indeed earned by me through fighting my way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
It’s just that the ones I killed were all infernal creatures!
And after the death of the previous Northern Devil.
I took on the task of leading the troops into battle.
Most of the time was spent training soldiers, and a small part of the time was spent attacking the "Prisoner Mountain Camp".
To be honest.
My combat record is not very good - we have been fighting in the Prison Mountain Camp for so many years but not many people have died, and I have never had the opportunity to take direct action.
You can ask the Wilderness Temple for confirmation on this.
…
I know.
This is a very shameful thing.
As a devil, I couldn't even kill one person - for this, some of my compatriots even laughed at me and called me the 'king of infighting among devils'.
But it’s not that I’m not good at my job, I just happened at the wrong time…”
Hades was chattering away.
Roger had already quietly told him a fortune.
I don’t know if this is the reason why Xuewu really died.
Roger felt like he was seeing the light when he used divination.
Both the divination results and the sixth sense confirmed that what Hades said was true.
In Hades' plan.
This war was a great opportunity for him to prove that he was not an expert in civil wars but a novice in foreign wars.
What a pity.
He met Roger.
Everything became wonderful.
…
"Sixth Sense: You realize that this goat-headed man has an unspeakable connection with you. Perhaps killing him is not the only solution."
…
I don’t know if it was because of those few ‘god assists’.
After confirming that Hades had never killed anyone.
The more Roger looked at this guy, the more he liked him.
Even the goat-head horns on the other person's head, which symbolize evil, looked delicate.
final.
He put down the stick in his hand and switched back to his original form.
With a puff!
Under Hades's anxious gaze.
Roger finally crushed a "Contract Orb" that he had stolen from Sen Sonya!
…
"Contract Master: You have gained 1 additional contract point."
…
"You have obtained a new servant: Goat-headed Man Hades (Lv89/Hope of the Goat-headed Man Clan/Master of Tactics/Devil's Infighting King/War Status 0.3...)"
…
"Owner!"
Hades fell to his knees, weeping bitterly:
"I now deeply regret what I did before!"
"I shouldn't have verbally insulted you and the mistress..."
"I shouldn't have encouraged those low-level demons to offend you and cause you trouble..."
Roger raised an eyebrow.
He immediately corrected seriously:
"First of all, that one can hardly be called a hostess."
"Secondly..."
"Who told you that you're causing me trouble?"
Hades was stunned.
Roger didn't explain much.
He believed that with Hades' wisdom, he should be able to figure out something on his own.
In fact, he accepted Hades not simply because of fate.
The more consideration was that "Diana was too strong."
Currently, none of his servants can compete with Diana.
It will become a hidden danger over time.
Roger would definitely not cause trouble among the servants.
But what if Roger wasn't there?
For example, last time.
Roger was busy mining.
Diana got him a crown.
The results weren’t bad though.
But it was also something that was beyond Roger's plan.
"Someone has to compete with Diana!"
"It's time to test the value of Hades' title of 'King of Internal Fighting'..."
"I hope he can fight for his reputation."
Thinking so.
Roger took advantage of the situation and came to the vicinity of Purgatory Wind.
At this moment.
A new prompt appeared on the data bar.
…
"Tower Defense Mode: Successfully defended the second and third waves of attacks, and you received 6000 physical fragments (8000 in total)"
…
"Do you want to exchange the physical fragments for physical strength?"
…
See here.
Roger couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Tears welled up in my eyes!
After decisive confirmation.
He threw another free attribute point on it.
This moment.
Roger's physical fitness finally broke through 20 points.
Arrived at the extraordinary realm!
…
"Extraordinary physique: You have broken through the shackles of humanity and possessed a physique that is one in a million. You will gain the following abilities, but are not limited to them—
You are the most sought-after sparring partner in the build-up to the boxing match;
You can easily complete the chest stone crushing;
Your body can metabolize all extraordinary toxins, and even upgraded toxins can hardly cause harm to you;
You have the healing and recovery abilities of a dragon;
You can satisfy all the requirements of female humanoids for their other half;
You can also satisfy quite a few female non-humanoid creatures;
The probability of you being entangled by creatures such as succubi has greatly increased..."
…
"Extraordinary physique: You have gained the feat of Taunt Aura"
…
"Taunt Aura: After it is activated, units with a favorable impression below Friendly will look at you with dislike for no reason.
Most passers-by will have the urge to provoke you;
The remaining small number will actively attack you because they cannot control their nameless anger.
…
Note 1: This aura works better when used with swear words or sarcastic remarks.
…
Note 2: You can also transfer this aura to your servants.
…
Note 3: The effect on non-human creatures is reduced to half.
…
"this……"
"Isn't this a standard ability for male protagonists in some online novels?"
Roger couldn't help but complain.
But the next second.
He was attracted by the second note.
“Hmm…”
"Servants can also taunt..."
Roger is still thinking.
The infernal gale not far away suddenly became unstable!
"ah……"
A low moaning sound came from the strong wind.
Roger couldn't help but raise his head.
As a result, he accidentally activated the "Eye Technique: Absolute Insight"!
…
