Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: Chapter 83 Blood Receiver (Vote for Monthly Tickets!) (2/2)
Finally, night fell.
Vanessa, Archibald, and Erik came to the family’s underground chamber for the first time and saw the idol, altar, and sacred objects belonging to the Lord of the Lost.
Irene requested everyone to kneel, and then she, Byrne, and Chris also knelt down.
Over the years, the three of them had been subtly influenced by Irene. Although they had no attachment to the faith of the True Gods, they were still filled with shock at the grandeur of the Lord of the Lost!
“So that’s how it is, so it is…” Vanessa murmured to herself, “It was You who saved the Fischer family. I always thought it was the Lord of Salvation or some powerful Extraordinary Exponent.”
Archibald’s expression was extremely solemn as he said, “The Fischer family saved my fate, and I wouldn’t mind giving my soul to You.”
Erik stared dumbfounded at the idol and sacred object, speechless for a long time.
Suddenly, they all felt a terrifying power emanating from the black light within the sacred object, as if it could destroy everything in the world, irresistible to mere mortals.
That power was so overwhelming, it left them breathless. All three couldn’t help but shiver and bow their heads, not daring to look directly at the black light in the sacred object.
Karl had long been aware of their presence, calmly observing the three kneeling before him, effortlessly discerning the God Pantheon stairway that best suited each of them.
However, before He would truly bestow power upon them, they needed to undertake another part of the Lost Ritual. They would have to enter the Spirit Realm, pass through the Gate of Shadow, and then use a special potion made from Fischer’s Blood.
Irene calmly narrated the various greatness of the Lord of the Lost and the teachings of Dawn.
All three agreed to undergo the Lost Ritual. Thus, they entered the Spirit Realm with the Fischer siblings, arriving directly in front of the Gate of Shadow this time.
“This is the Spirit Realm!”
All three were extremely shocked. Although they had heard of the existence of the Spirit Realm, they merely knew it as an extremely mysterious and bizarre world.
All secrets related to the Spirit Realm were highly valuable, and even those large nobles and churches knew very little about it!
After completing the Lost Ritual, they felt that terribly frightening presence.
The Lord of the Lost was gazing upon them!
Irene and Byrne exchanged a glance and nodded.
The next step was to pray for the grace of the gods, to enable them to step onto the God Pantheon stairway and grasp the mysterious power of Consecution.
Irene began to pray again for the grace of the Lord of the Lost, offering three different Class 1 Extraordinary Materials that had been prepared in advance.
They were the “phantom flower” with transparent petals that change color with the moonlight as if made of pure light.
There was also the “Fantasy Wisteria” with small purple flowers covering its vines that emitted gentle, breathing-like sounds, inducing deep sleep.
And the “Crystal Coral Polyps,” which slept deep in the ocean like transparent crystal sculptures.
“Great Lord of the Lost…”
Another sacrifice began, and finally, the three Blood Receivers successively obtained differing Consecution powers, embarking upon three brand new God Pantheon stairways.
Vanessa embarked on the “Path of World Order,” with her first Consecution power being “Guardian.”
“Guardian” possessed two Extraordinary traits: “Protection” and “Lethal Counterattack.”
“Protection” allowed for advance marking of a person with a spell symbol so that the guardian could actively take on half of the damage inflicted on the marked individual.
“Lethal Counterattack” meant that if attacked, the chance to hit the source of the damage would be greatly increased on the next strike, provided the target was within range.
Her physical condition improved greatly, while her Spiritual Power increased less so, although Vanessa was a Spellcaster herself.
Archibald embarked on the “Path of Calamity,” with his first Consecution power being “Gale Protector.”
“Gale Protector” only had one Extraordinary trait: “Storm Armor.”
“Storm Armor” allowed an Exponent of Consecution power to automatically generate swirling winds around them; the more Spiritual Power consumed, the larger the range.
Even “Storm Armor” could grow to form a massive storm as the Exponent steps onto the higher ranks of the Path of Calamity, a trait that would grow with him.
Archibald’s physical and Spiritual Power improved fifty-fifty.
Erik embarked on the “Path of Forging,” with his first Consecution power being “Craftsman.”
“Craftsman” had two Extraordinary traits: “Deft Hands” and “Heavy Strike.”
“Deft Hands” allowed an Exponent to automatically master most craftsmanship skills, instantly possessing the experience of a craftsman of decades.
“Heavy Strike” meant that when using a weapon to attack, the damage carried an impact effect, allowing the force to penetrate armor.
Erik’s physical condition improved minimally, with a greater increase in his Spiritual Power.
Irene looked at the three new Extraordinary Exponents, each of them appearing joyful, confused, and lost.
Vanessa seemed to be able to accept this more than the other two; it was too astonishing for them to suddenly gain Extraordinary Power.
She approached them slowly and said in an even tone:
“You must remember, this Extraordinary Power belongs to the great Lord of the Lost and the Fischer family; from now on, you will be members of Dawn and also loyal servants of the Lord of the Lost.”
“The Fischer family are favored members of the gods and will convey His grand oracles.”
“Our Lord gazes upon you. If you harbor thoughts of betrayal, you will surely face an unimaginable end, sinking into despair.”
