Chapter 160 - Chapter 160: Chapter 153 "Eyes of Conviction" and "Fire of Sin (2/2)
Regarding Chris’s second rune power, Karl considered what to bestow upon him.
“I’ll think about it later. Let’s open the pathway of the 4th Rank first.”
Diving deeper into the Spirit Realm, Karl flew toward the many “constellations,” this time feeling no gaze upon him.
He seemed to use an invisible force to harvest a star, formally activating the “Sin Executioner” Power of Consecution.
In the originally empty “constellation,” a young man with dark red hair emerged, holding a dagger and staring calmly at something ahead.
The next moment, Karl retrieved the dark red Spiritual Radiance and returned to the real world.
The people in the basement could not help but express their astonishment.
“Is that Spiritual Radiance?”
They could all see the dark red Spiritual Radiance emerging before the sacred object, extremely dazzling and eyecatching, significantly more so than the previous Spiritual Radiance, and not even in the same class.
Moreover, it contained an extremely intense and terrifying aura, as if it encompassed endless slaughter and death, capable of annihilating all sinners.
Karl slowly bestowed the 4th Rank “Sin Executioner” Spiritual Radiance to Chris.
Chris took a deep breath.
He quickly felt a tide-like force surging once again, like an unprecedented powerful weapon now at his disposal!
The 4th Rank of the Path of Tranquility!
The Power of Consecution, “Sin Executioner”!
Before Byrne had a chance to ask, Chris consciously closed his eyes, actively sensing the specific enhancement of his physical ability and Spiritual Power.
Unlike the need for extensive testing in the past to determine improvements, he could now simply sense the power within his body to minutely perceive the extent of the increase.
According to Byrne’s evaluation theory, the integrated quality improvement of the “Sin Executioner” was 200, mainly the enhancement of physical quality by a terrifying 150. A “Sin Executioner” could completely match a monster, and the increase in Spiritual Power was also nearly 50.
Chris opened his eyes and moved his slender, fair fingers, finding he could precisely control most of the muscles in his body, and even perform various movements beyond human limits.
The attacks he launched casually could astound master martial artists with their precision.
And those were merely the effects of a significant increase in physical quality, not the Extraordinary trait of the “Sin Executioner.”
The Power of Consecution provided Chris with two extremely powerful Extraordinary traits.
“Eyes of Conviction” and “Fire of Sin.”
He could use nearly half of his Spiritual Power to unleash “Eyes of Conviction” on an intelligent being that saw his eyes.
The next moment, the target would suffer an extremely intense psychic attack, becoming immobilized. The deeper the sins they had committed, the greater the effect, and the weak-willed would die of terror on the spot.
Every time a “Sin Executioner” killed a sinner, he would absorb some of their sins and could also use Spiritual Power and those sins to generate a pitch-black “Fire of Sin.”
“Fire of Sin” could change at the “Sin Executioner’s” will, used for attack or defense, and once it touched an enemy, it would burn fiercely due to their sins, continuously consuming their soul until the sins were burned to ash.
Its ultimate attack range was about a hundred meters, completing the Extraordinary Exponents of the Path of Tranquility’s long-range combat capabilities.
The more a person was filled with sin, the more vigorously the “Fire of Sin” would burn on them. Theoretically, even a Monarch powerful expert could be killed by the “Fire of Sin,” albeit with a very slim chance!
On the other hand, it was an Extraordinary power that couldn’t kill even a newborn baby.
Furthermore, the powerful “Fire of Sin” had an unavoidable downside; once created, it was indiscriminate, burning even the Sin Executioner’s own spirit and soul.
The black flames would ruthlessly execute all sinners.
Chris calmly felt the powerful force, slowly raising his right hand as black flames materialized out of thin air, instilling most of those present with a sense of dread.
Some of them even took a step back.
“Chris…” Vanessa looked at her husband, her eyes revealing shock.
In the basement, only Lilian remained unaffected, not perceiving any danger from the black flames.
Just when everyone thought the Lord of the Lost’s blessing had ended, Chris suddenly sensed something wrong; he had obtained a brand-new rune power!
“Reverse Stab!”
In the depths of Karl’s soul, its rune form resembled a pitch-black, sharp spike, always ready to counter the enemy.
“Reverse Stab” was a Treasure-class Mysterious rare artifact once used by Priest Azure Blue to incite a psychic shock, instantly rendering Irene, who was about to sacrifice herself, unconscious.
Chris’s offensive capabilities were already very strong, but his defenses were too weak, albeit fitting a killer’s profile. However, Karl preferred him to be as devoid of weaknesses as possible.
“Reverse Stab is very suitable to be your second rune power.”
He pondered quietly, continuously infusing rune essence to evolve the “Reverse Stab” within the depths of his soul into spirit runes.
Spirit runes, “Thorns”!
