Chapter 557: Chapter 493: Gifts of the Night Chapter 557: Chapter 493: Gifts of the Night “Huff~”
Tao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the attribute burst forth.
Angels were indeed difficult to deal with!
He could feel that at the beginning, the opponent was somewhat pulling punches, as if they were considering keeping him alive.
But it was precisely this restraint that led them into a ‘stalemate’, continuously amplifying the weakening effect of the ‘disease’.
In addition, his immunity to the opponent’s blasphemous words had nullified their most useful ability.
As a result of this give and take, his integration of the Yin Yang and the Five Elements Divine Thunder, forged by the Rune Inscriptions, culminated in a unique Era of the Gods magic that achieved the most perfect effect!
After charging up for so long, and even activating the magic that had been pre-engraved, achieving this effect was fully in line with Tao Yu’s expectations.
“Actually, this was all I wanted from the start…”
Tao Yu knew there was still a gap between himself and the angels, even with the Sequence 3 enhancement from Scathach and the high-tiered Medici leveraging his own Hunter attributes.
The fight had been too forced, which is why he had also activated his own pre-engraved ace of Era of the Gods magic.
But in terms of results, it was certainly worth it.
This was Tao Yu’s initial expectation.
Steal an angel and run!
Now, with the addition of a Sequence 2 attribute from the Red Priest Path, it was already a huge profit!
“If I escape now, I’ve broken even, but…”
A flicker of insight flashed through Tao Yu’s mind; he had begun to vaguely understand Adam’s plan!
Although Adam couldn’t directly comprehend him, he might have been paying indirect attention to him for some time now.
Perhaps he had already gauged the upper limit of what Tao Yu could handle!
That’s why he was given the Sequence 2 Hunter Path attribute!
“Alright, let’s see if your plan can penetrate my barrier.”
Tao Yu glanced sideways at Medici, who had exerted great effort earlier.
Initially, Medici had babbled incessantly when he used a Sequence 4 attribute.
Now, with an unused Sequence 2 attribute on him, Medici hadn’t taken the initiative to make a request.
This was unusual in itself.
“I had nearly given it my all earlier, and although I don’t know how Adam will arrange for the Witch Angel to come, I no longer have the original spells.
Perhaps, I should take the risk and use the Weather Mage’s attribute.”
Tao Yu seemed to mumble this wistfully, causing Medici, who had not mentioned this, to freeze.
Then, awkwardly, he said,
“I don’t think you need to take such a risk; perhaps you could try to trust me a bit.”
In the previous battle, Medici had played a significant role.
When Steff unleashed his enslaved War Bishop and worked in tandem with Tao Yu’s Shadow Force, they were able to disrupt and halt the enemy’s progression.
Otherwise, the final strike might not have failed, but the situation would not have been so favorable.
“I think I can indeed give you some trust, especially since you are now enslaved by me.”
Tao Yu’s words filled Medici with anticipation.
“This is the Sequence 2 attribute given by Adam, and this is the enslaved Sequence 3 attribute from Steff.
I can lend one to you; which one do you want?”
Tao Yu let Medici choose, which somewhat surprised him.
After taking a deep look at Tao Yu, he reached for the Sequence 3.
“I don’t quite trust that guy; he might have tampered with it…”
“Good, if this is successful, then when I advance to Sequence 2 in the future, I will set aside a Sequence 3 attribute for you to help stabilize your power,”
Tao Yu made a promise.
After this ordeal concluded, he would definitely enter a lengthy period of assimilation.
And for the Hunter Path, both Sequence Four and Sequence Three would begin to require things like teams and wars for assistance.
If this is really achieved, it’s essential to enhance the hardware of Paru, the slave I took for myself.
Likewise, it is the same for Scathach.
After all, upon obtaining the Sequence 2 characteristics, this actually encompasses a series of prior attributes.
And not just one, at that.
Who knows how many times these angels have devoured such power?
To them, the impact of lower Sequence characteristics has become rather insignificant—they might even digest them multiple times…
The conflict between Ulorius and Serah completely concealed the activity of Tao Yu on this side.
When he emerged from the Innate Barrier, the battle before had concluded without a trace.
What happened and what the outcome was, remained unknown.
However, Becland was still Becland.
Though panic was evident among the people on the road, Tao Yu could sense a trace of relief beneath their fear.
Many were making the hand gestures of the Lord of the Storm, and judging by the awkward attempts of some, they probably weren’t followers of the Lord of the Storm.
Perhaps they had witnessed some Divine Miracle performed by the Church of the Storm before.
It’s even possible that the Lord of the Storm called down lightning from afar.
“The audience is truly terrifying.
Are the King of Angels and the True God both within his scheming…”
Tao Yu looked at Medici, who had easily integrated the Sequence 3 characteristics, and he could vaguely understand why Medici was captured in the first place.
To think that Adam could directly control the King of Angels and the True God, that seemed impossible.
But he was able to take advantage of the situation, all he needed to do was give a gentle nudge and steer at critical moments.
He muddied the waters, and yet, Adam was best at fishing in troubled waters…
However, at this moment, Tao Yu suddenly stiffened, as if sensing something, and turned around slowly.
A beautiful woman with an expressionless face, dark eyes that were profound and gloomy but lacking spirituality, and black hair, appeared beside him.
How and when she appeared, Tao Yu had no idea!
Both Scathach and Medici were startled as well.
Then, Medici looked at her with a face full of doubt and seemed to want to say something, but no sound came out of his mouth as if he had become mute.
It was like an absolute concealment of secrets.
Unable to transmit any information.
Tao Yu then saw the beautiful woman extend her hand and open her palm.
A peculiar characteristic floated up.
“This is an extraordinary ability from the Witch Path, I’ve brought it for you.”
Her voice was very gentle and soft, yet it carried an indescribable sense of distance.
Tao Yu could roughly feel that she should be an Angel of the Sequence 2 level, yet, for some reason, there was a significant and awkward contrast.
Considering they were both Sequence 2, how did she obtain this extraordinary ability so easily?!
She is not a Sequence 2 Angel…
Tao Yu looked at her, vaguely coming to a realization.
Goddess of the Night…
“The same issue as with Adam?”
Tao Yu looked at the characteristic in her hand, hesitating for a moment.
The characteristic actively floated towards Tao Yu, seemingly leaving him no room to refuse.
Family, Divine Spirits chasing after offering meals, who can understand this!
Tao Yu looked at the characteristic and slowly exhaled.
While constantly communicating with the World Will, he also accepted this new ‘gift’.
“Alright, let’s do it all together, he probably wouldn’t dare not to meet you, right?”
