She wanted to tell Ronan the truth of it all, and the footsteps of the prophesied disaster that was drawing ever nearer.
Ronan’s fingers moved slightly, and he effortlessly pulled out a black, faintly evil-scented bone emblem from thin air.
Gazing at the emblem, with its six interlocking rings — three whole and three broken — he whispered softly.
"The Ancient Witch Extermination Society..."
This identification badge was found in Salanqi’s space ring, marking him as a member of the Ancient Witch Extermination Society.
Apart from this, there were also identifications from the Witch Heart Hall, Twilight Council, and several other wizard organizations that Ronan wasn’t very familiar with.
"Even the Witch Heart Hall, active under the eyes of two generations of prophets, has been infiltrated by the Ancient Witch Extermination Society; Salanqi joined the Life Court King’s contest under the guise of a Twilight Council wizard..."
Even though Ronan didn’t really care much about all this, he began to realize the worsening situation. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel★fire.net
Under a collapsed nest, how could there be unbroken eggs?
He wasn’t sure what the ultimate goal of the Ancient Witch Extermination Society was, but if a cataclysm was destined to sweep across the Upper Ring Continent, he could hardly remain unharmed.
He leaves before the disaster strikes.
In his mind, there flashed an image of the "Sinking Eye" located at the very center of the continent.
But without the strength of a Seventh Level Dusk, he couldn’t break the "Sinking Eye"’s restriction. Reaching that height in a short time was unrealistic—was he supposed to find a wizard above level seven to flee together?
Ronan shook his head, casting aside the rattling thoughts in his mind.
Just then, Alazan’s voice echoed again.
"The one you killed this time should be a disciple of the Mother of Fear and Lies from the Abyss Demon Clan.
Abyss Demons have very strange methods, especially when fused with a wizard’s bloodline. They are often adept at powerful curse powers...
Next time you encounter them, be more cautious."
"Curse power, huh..."
Ronan’s eyes flickered briefly, whispering to himself: "That’s just perfect."
Ronan had an epiphany when the seal of the Stone of Destiny was lifted and his Ascetic Body Refinement completely advanced to the Master Level.
Back when he was breaking through the Pure Body, he lingered for a long time before finding a way to foster the growth of the Pure Body—by enduring attacks from magic energy!
And after the Pure Body transformed into the Innocent Body, the training method likewise changed.
Ronan discovered that curse power could nourish the growth of the Innocent Body!
In the battle with Salanqi, repeatedly withstanding his fear curse aura’s impact, Ronan’s proficiency level in Ascetic Body Refinement increased by a full two points.
"When I was restrained by a spell from that Level 5 Wizard of the Witch Heart Hall with a black book, I should have realized that Salanqi’s fear curse enabled me to ultimately step into the realm of the Innocent Body...
Prophet Eve said that I would also gain benefits from this matter, which refers to this."
As Ronan thought about this, before his eyes, the Element Pool that was slowly dissolving Salanqi’s corpse suddenly bubbled with a "glug," and from the mottled water emerged a giant bubble. When it burst, it spat out a strange gray-white bone fragment.
Ronan’s eyes shifted as he immediately grasped the bone fragment.
Looking down at the gray-white bone fragment in his hand, he found it engraved with a black, odd symbol resembling an eye or a star.
After carefully probing this strange bone fragment, which was "decomposed" from Salanqi’s body, with his spiritual power, a deep and peculiar brilliance began to manifest in his once-calm eyes.
Raising his head, he couldn’t help but murmur softly.
"So... this is the benefit Prophet Eve mentioned."
This bone fragment was an extraordinarily ancient artifact of inheritance, recording an ancient and powerful transmission.
It was the very Dark Undead System spell inheritance that Salanqi had once used on Ronan—
[Twelve Halls of Netherworld Demons — Sajadi Corpse Court]!
Double monthly ticket, please cast a vote for Goudan, and after a few more days, I’ll resume rapid updates..
Also, the bloodline that Ronan truly deserves will be coming soon; I see someone in the comment section has already guessed the direction.
