The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1843 Transformation

Bol leaned on the sofa, the soft cushions almost wrapping his body. The comfort made Kieran's nominal follower unable to help but think.

what happened?

who I am?

What am I going to do?

Why was he a retainer just a few days ago, and now he is a close vassal of the heir to the kingdom?

Isn't this all too fast?

Bol said he couldn't accept it.

Especially when he received the news that Qin Ran not only became the heir of the kingdom and the Snake Sect, but also united with the Temple of War and the Secret Order of Quiet Night, his entire worldview was subverted.

He put himself in Kieran's position.

Although he was dejected, he had to admit that he couldn't do what Kieran did.

Not even half of it.

"Is this the boss's world?"

Bol thought silently.

He recalled how unconvinced he was when he first met Qin Ran, and felt very ridiculous at this time.

Because, he already knew very well that even if he had not suffered all that, he would still be inferior to Kieran.

Not just strength.

And wisdom and ability.

And the kind of charm that can convince everyone.

He has none of these.

Moreover, apart from the fact that the strength can still be increased, the rest has already reached a fixed level.

It's hard to change anymore.

Think about it this way...

Bol became more and more depressed.

Compared with Bol, bodyguard Ash doesn't have so many ideas.

With plenty of food and nothing to do every day, the bodyguard started exercising like crazy.

Mainly with bare hands.

Long swords, battle axes, and spears are supplemented.

Occasionally I practice firecrackers.

It's not that he doesn't want to practice firecrackers for a long time, but that firecrackers are too troublesome. It takes him nearly two minutes from loading and licking the bullet to aiming, and this is already the limit of what he can achieve.

Want to push this limit?

Unless he could find a fire gun based on the size of his hand and the length of his arm.

And this is simply too expensive.

He couldn't afford it.

Therefore, he put more effort into other exercises.

Hoo, hoho!

He stood up upside down and used both arms for support. Soon his arms became one-armed, and then the five fingers of his palms spread out and touched the ground. Then, the five fingers gradually decreased. When only one index finger remained, Ash's body began to Up and down.

All the muscles in his body were stiff and tense at this moment.

Sweat was pouring out.

Go down the ravine along the flesh that seems to be carved out.

Breathing becomes heavier.

However, the rhythm has not changed.

When the left hand is finished, it becomes the right hand.

After going back and forth ten times, Ash jumped up and walked to the dining table.

He picked up the whole roast chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.

When the hunger in his belly subsided a little, Ash looked at Bol, who had a dejected look on his face.

"My father told me not to compare what you are not good at with what others are good at."

"You're just asking for trouble."

Ash comforted Bol.

"But compared to Colin, what am I good at?"

Bol raised his head, dumbfounded by the temperature.

"Well……"

"For example, if you don't like reading, you have more time to lie here and enjoy life?"

After pondering for a moment, Ash replied.

Obviously, this answer stimulated Bol even more, and he shrank into the sofa. His voice almost came from the gap in the sofa.

"Yeah, I know that's the case too."

"Colin is extremely talented and works harder than me."

"That's why I despair."

In the midst of lamentation, Bol's body that had just straightened up fell heavily back into the sofa again.

Because, he knew that at this time, Kieran was not at his peak and was limited.

What would it look like in its heyday?

Sweep?

Yes, it will definitely be a sweep.

No longer in this 'gentle' way.

As for the equipment and props that are not part of your own strength?

That's just the wailing of a bunch of guys who don't have better equipment and props.

If they have it, they must use it more diligently than you.

So, ignore it.

Ash scratched his head, not knowing how to comfort his friend.

Because he thinks his friend is right.

A talented person like Colin is someone to look up to, but if he is diligent, he will become impossible to look up to.

Just like the sun!

For a moment, both of them fell into silence.

Therefore, the sound of Monte's footsteps became extremely clear.

"Bol, Ash."

The close minister greeted me very friendly.

As the heir to the royal family of Attendine, he has been observing His Highness's entourage and bodyguards.

very nice!

Both of them are the best choice in terms of ability and strength.

His Highness must be collecting these talents consciously.

The preconceived minister thought instantly.

Then, his words became softer.

"Your Highness is looking for you, Bol."

After all, they are people we will work with in the future.

It's right to build a good relationship now.

"Your Highness is looking for me?"

After Bol was stunned, he immediately stood up from the sofa.

He had already thought about why Kieran was looking for him.

According to the contract.

When Kieran completes the first step in the contract, it is time to fulfill his obligation to help him. Although Bol still doesn’t know what Kieran’s first step is, this does not prevent him from looking forward to his main mission. Finish.

This is related to his life!

Then?

Naturally, he will work harder to catch up with the opponent!

The other party is not a god. If he catches up, he will definitely be able to catch up!

"When do we leave?"

Bol, whose confidence had been restored, asked simply.

"immediately."

Konomi answered.

Boom!

Thunder bursts.

The low singing coming from the southern sky was not covered up.

On the contrary, the female voice became clearer and clearer.

The mortals in Aitantin raised their heads, looked at the lightning in the night sky, listened to the low singing in their ears, and felt fear and uneasiness filling their hearts.

Although they don't know what happened, they always feel like a disaster is coming.

Qin Ran was sitting peacefully in his tent, quietly watching 'Gluttony' eat.

Two hundred and eighty real magic items.

Forty rare-level props.

One piece of reduction.

Kieran didn't feel any distress.

Because he could clearly feel that these equipment props became easier to absorb after being 'transformed' by gluttony.

The remaining six and a half strands of chaotic darkness in his mind began to decrease again.

Six wisps!

Five wisps!

Four wisps!

Finally, when all the equipment and props were used up, the chaos and darkness deep in his mind completely disappeared.

call!

The flickering flames soared into the sky.

Qin Ran felt that his brain was clearer than ever before.

The speed of his thinking.

His memory.

At this time, an almost qualitative change occurred.

The more direct change was that the mental power spread from the depths of the brain to the whole body to the extent that Kieran could feel it.

The secret text imprinted on the bones and muscle textures by basic skills in the body. When such mental power flows through, the light that was already shining becomes brighter in an instant.

This is where all the changes started.

Under Kieran's 'watching', Kieran's body was changing from the depths of his soul and bone marrow.

stronger.

More agile.

Sharper.

besides……

Memories of battle scenes appeared in his mind.

It's not someone else's.

But his own.

Kieran watched such memories from the perspective of a bystander. The fighting skills that he thought were perfect in the past, under such spectators, flaws began to appear everywhere.

Then, it’s time to complete.

'Bystander' Qin Ran completed these fighting skills in the most calm and rational manner.

At the same time, a vague attraction appeared in the flames.

That is……

‘Lord of the Mists’!

The palm-sized crystal had shrunk to the size of a fingernail at this time, and it was imprinted with words that Kieran had never seen before, but he could understand them.

‘Mist’!

'toxin'!

‘Freezing air’!

‘Rain and snow’!

‘Animal driven’!

‘Plant communication’!

‘Hidden’!

‘Watch’!

'tidal'!

Groups of words appeared in Qin Ran's heart in the most intuitive way.

Without any understanding, the original explanation has already appeared.

"Touch, accept, own?"

Qin Ran muttered to himself.

Then, he raised his hand and touched the ‘Mist’.

There is no need to test or hesitate at this time.

From the perspective of a 'bystander', Kieran was able to confirm what was harmless and what was dangerous.

But the scene in front of me was without any danger.

The fingertips touched the ‘mist’.

A flash of light appeared in the space originally occupied by chaotic darkness.

This light was so bright that I couldn't tell what color it was, and it occupied about two percent of the original space.

"Accommodation?"

"Occupancy degree?"

An explanation appeared in Qin Ran's heart again.

Then, his fingers touched one by one 'Poison' (1%) 'Freezing Air' (2%) 'Rain and Snow' (2%) 'Animal Drive' (1%) 'Plant Communication' (1%) 'Concealment '(3%) 'Gaze' (3%) 'Tide' (2%).

Most of them occupy one to two percent.

Only 'hiding' and 'watching' are different.

Both are 3%.

A total of nine bright lights appeared in the original space, occupying 17%.

However, this is not the end.

Just the beginning.

“It can be upgraded, but will it take up more space?”

Qin Ran looked at the burning flames.

The crystal of the ‘Lord of the Mists’ is still there.

Not only that, but there are new words on it.

‘Trick’ (5%)!

‘Conspiracy’ (5%)!

‘Destruction’ (10%)!

Three words appeared on the crystal.

Moreover, the degree of possession has already appeared without Kieran's touch.

The value far exceeded the previous occupation level, which made Qin Ran raise his eyebrows.

However, he did not hesitate.

He raised his hand and touched the three of them.

Because, he can sense the power within it. Not to mention the 'destruction' that occupies the highest degree, just any one of the 'tricks' and 'conspiracy' is far beyond anything before.

The reality was just as Kieran expected.

The brilliance appears again.

But unlike the previous nine rays of light, there were only three left.

The thickest one is ‘destruction’!

It accommodates 'poison' (1%), 'freezing air' (2%), 'rain and snow' (2%), 'tide' (2%) and 'destruction' (17%).

Followed by ‘Trick’ (10%) ‘Animal Drive’ (1%) ‘Plant Communication’ (1%) ‘Stealth’ (3%)

‘Conspiracy’ surprised Kieran, ‘Misty’ (2%) and ‘Watching’ (3%).

As with 'Trick', reached (10%).

"Is 'watching' a conspiracy?"

"After the observation, a countermeasure was developed and integrated into the conspiracy?"

Kieran thought there should be a more appropriate summary.

But it seems that it is not possible at this stage.

Just like what he does best...

'flame'!

"The power of self."

"It's not included... No, that's not right."

"It's not materialized."

"But it can increase!"

After sorting out the knowledge in his mind, Qin Ran raised his hand, and a touch of demonic flames actually jumped on it.

It seems to be the same as before.

But something is different.

Just like at this time, Kieran still looked the same as before.

But if you look closely, there are differences.

It is difficult for ordinary people to judge from this.

Only Kieran knew the difference.

"But you can't say it?"

Kieran tried to talk to himself about his differences.

But his mouth opened, but no sound came out.

Of course, some things haven't changed.

Strength: V (strong)

Agility: V (Strong)

Physique: V (strong)

Spirit: VI (constant)

Perception: III (strong)

The cross-stage growth of attributes, especially the spiritual attributes, directly reached level VI after expelling the chaos and darkness.

Clear data informed Qin Ran of his own changes.

But the more important changes are below -

[Destruction: With this divinity, you will receive blessings for similar actions. At this moment, the divinity of destruction is 'weak', and you will receive a judgment equivalent to +1 for similar actions. 】

[Trick: With this divinity, you will be blessed in similar actions. At this moment, the trick divinity is 'weak', and you will receive a judgment equivalent to +0.5 for similar actions. 】

[Conspiracy: With this divinity, you will receive blessings for similar actions. At this moment, the conspiracy divinity is 'weak', and you will receive a judgment equivalent to +0.5 for similar actions. 】

"Divinity?"

As Qin Ran muttered to himself, he looked at the crystal of the 'Lord of the Mist' in the flames.

At this time, the crystal of the 'Lord of Mists' had completely melted.

What followed was his perception of the entire 'Etandine'.

Then, 'Response (1%)', 'Blessing (1%)' and 'Fraud Contract (1%)' appeared and were integrated into the divinity of [Conspiracy].

Then, [the trick] changed.

The judgment changed from 'weak' to 'weak'.

Equivalence has also been increased from 0.5 to 1.

Silently feeling the changes in his body, the light in Qin Ran's eyes dissipated.

Suddenly——

"My Lord, protect me!"

“My Lord, protect my children from malice!”

"My Lord, I hope you will send me divine grace!"

Sounds poured into Qin Ran's mind like a tidal wave.

This feeling of discomfort made Qin Ran frown.

What was even more uncomfortable was that the external light began to pour into his mind and entered the flames. Most of the light was evaporated in the flames, leaving only the purest and small part that merged into the [Destruction] [ Conspiracy] [Conspiracy].

"The transformation of the power of faith!"

Qin Ran quickly understood what the process was.

He also understood better the importance of the 'fire' in his mind.

“The divine fire ‘ignites’ the divine nature.”

“Divinity confers ‘priesthood’.”

"Once the divine fire goes out..."

"Everything will cease to exist."

Kieran took a deep breath and murmured in a low voice.

"Sure enough, do you still have to rely on yourself for everything?"

"god?"

"It's no exception."

"If there are exceptions..."

"That would be mutilated!"

As he spoke, he raised his head, looked at the thunder in the night, and listened to the low chanting of the south, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

He seemed to understand a little bit what the 'broker' wanted to do.
