Chapter 52 The Paladin Arrives
Chapter 52 The Paladin Arrives
In the dream, Ash dispersed his two swords, conjured up a recliner and lay down comfortably.
This made a certain nightmare demon itchy, knowing that Ash did it on purpose, waiting for her to show up.
Little pervert!
The nightmare flapped its wings and left. She had eaten enough yesterday, so she didn't need a meal today.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no nightmare appear, Ash opened his eyes with a hint of regret in his eyes.
Looks like it's too much.
The next day, after getting up early and having breakfast, Ash took a look at the weather and jumped directly onto the roof.
[Solar Breathing] is activated, Ash absorbs the energy from the sunlight, and he is ready to complete the achievement [Endless Breathing III].
As if a gravitational field was turned on, Ash's figure became distorted in the light, as the surrounding sunlight was attracted by him.
This is because Ash has not yet fully utilized his mastery of [Solar Breathing], otherwise it would look like a black hole suddenly appeared here.
Ash paid attention to the green bar and adjusted his breathing intensity to ensure that his energy consumption would not keep up with his recovery.
After determining the breathing rhythm that was suitable for the current situation, Ash tried to do some slow exercises.
The third achievement will only take about a day, and the following ones will take eight or ten days, or even a hundred days.
And it is impossible for him to stay still for eight or ten days.
Therefore, he should try to make the rhythm of breathing permanent, to the point where walking, standing, sitting and lying down are all forms of practice.
By multitasking, Ash quickly adapted to this rhythm. The only problem was that in this state, he might not be able to use his dual swords as well as before, and his reaction speed would be slower.
But it’s not a big deal. There’s nothing particularly urgent that needs to be dealt with right now. He just needs to be patient and develop for a while.
After making sure he had adapted to the rhythm and was making progress in accumulating achievements, Ash sat down again and looked up at the sun. He wanted to take advantage of this free time to figure out how to comprehend the Flame Sun Sword Style.
He delved deeply into the inherited memories of the Sun Feathered Serpent and had been working hard to achieve success. However, he had never really organized these memories, and they would only suddenly pop up when he encountered spells and some precious items.
Now that he had sorted it out, he discovered that it was truly a huge treasure trove. It contained all fire spells from the first to the sixth ring, as well as many common spells, some common professional employment requirements, and some special skill combinations.
Ash couldn't help but pay attention to some special skill combinations, for example: [Iron Bones] + [Mercury Silver Flesh and Blood] can be sublimated into [Steel Body] with the blessing of any fire-attributed fighting spirit.
'Is it specially prepared for people with insufficient blood concentration?'
Ash was a little surprised to see this skill combination. After all, wasn't [Body of Steel] something that came naturally with his blood? Was it necessary to record it in the inheritance?
Then he realized that this was probably recorded specifically for people with low blood concentration. After all, not everyone has the ability to cheat like him.
Ash looked at some other skill combinations one after another, such as [Critical Hit] + [Full Power Hit] can be upgraded to [Full Heart and Full Power]; [Quetzalcoatl Wings] + [Energy Bomb] can be combined to differentiate into [Feathers Falling from the Sky]; [Quetzalcoatl Scales] + [Hegemony] can be combined to differentiate into [Golden Feather Scales of the Sky].
However, most of the skills are related to mages, and only a small part is related to warriors.
Ash feasted his eyes on it for a moment, then stopped paying attention to it. After all, he already had so many skills that he couldn't even practice them all, so how could he have the time to learn new ones?
He continued to delve deeper into the memories of the Feathered Serpent and found some introductions to the Flame Sun Sword Style.
However, most of them only introduce how to use the Yanyang Sword Style. As for comprehension, most of them only say that you have to figure it out by yourself.
After reading all of them, Ash found that the most helpful suggestion was only one, which was to first learn a will-based skill like [Intimidation], [Battle Cry], or something similar.
Then gradually replace its core with sword power, and finally integrate it with characteristics such as burning heat and endless vitality.
However, it is easy to go astray on this path, so you need to be careful when learning and using it.
Willpower skills? Ash looked at the [Dragon's Majesty] on the panel.
Slowly opening [Dragon's Majesty], Ash carefully experienced the process of opening.
"Based on dragon blood and guided by will, is this the principle of dragon's majesty?"
Ash thought for a moment and changed the basic [Dragon's Majesty] to [Sword Fighting Qi]. But when he just tried it, Ash almost couldn't catch his breath and almost broke his breathing method.
Ash breathed evenly, suppressing the discomfort in his internal organs. He took it for granted.
[Dragon's Majesty] is not a pure will-based skill at all. It is solidified based on his [Sun Quetzalcoatl] bloodline.
Replacing the basics is not feasible, we can only learn from the usage methods.
"Yash, don't forget to pray for me. You haven't come for the past two days. What do you mean?" Sister Yueban came under the eaves and said angrily, "It's not the right thing for a good child to break a promise!"
Ash glanced down, the snow-white ravines shining in the sunlight made him feel dizzy.
"Got it." Ash jumped off the roof and followed Maria to the confessional.
Following Maria, looking at the big pudding that was duang~duang~, Ash wondered whether he should make some small puddings for lunch.
"By the way, has she grown a little bit?" Ash looked at Maria. She hadn't grown past her shoulders before, but now she could vaguely see some traces of it.
Entering the confessional, Maria took Ash and started to pray.
Ash's attention was not on the sound, but on the place where the sound came from, and he felt a little itchy.
After praying, Ash retreated.
Looking at Ash's back as he left, Maria muttered, "What a hypocrite!"
He is like a sex maniac in dreams, but pretends to be a decent person in reality.
As Ash and Cai Gou just walked out of the church, they saw a group of people in black clothes riding horses hurriedly towards them.
"A paladin from the Church of Evernight?"
Ash glanced at their cuffs and saw a crescent moon half-enclosing a six-pointed star, which was the emblem of the Church of Evernight.
As Ash continued walking towards the town, some of the men in black couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"What's wrong?" asked the companion.
"No, I just thought his mask looked familiar." The man scratched his head, "I seem to have seen it somewhere."
"Ordinary masks are all similar in form, so it's normal if they look familiar." The companion said, "Let's go to the church here to find out more about the situation."
"There's actually an evil god ritual involving thousands of people. I don't know what the clergy here are doing?!"
When Ash came back from buying food, he found that the nursing home was almost full of people.
People wearing bright silver armor were casting the magic of [Detect Good and Evil] on the orphans.
Most of the people were light grey, and the few who were dark grey were taken away by the paladins with expressionless faces.
Ash was also released, but this caused a stress response in the [Eye of Good and Evil]. Ash instinctively felt that he could choose to detect the light.
Ash chose a light grey, the colour most normal people should have.
The paladin in charge of the inspection let them go, and Ash took a quick glance as he left, and he knew that Senmu Town might have to undergo an unprecedented bloody cleansing.
After all, the rituals of the Church of Slaanesh are gone, but the character left over the years will not change in a short period of time. Given the simple folk customs of Senmu Town, it is impossible not to kill many people.
'I'll find a way to try to be the executioner and see if I can activate the professional achievement and complete the [Thousand Killers] achievement.'
After the update, it will be released together at 6 am.
