——Endless Regret [Extraordinary Relic].
In the slight agitation of knowledge, a peculiar dark blue intestine was left behind, undoubtedly the Extraordinary Relic it condensed after death.
"Does this an even its intestines turned blue with regret?" Shawn suddenly thought of a cold joke.
He thought about it and decided not to share this joke with Benjamin, because Benjamin might not understand it.
"Huh?"
Gemma’s surprised voice ca from her hand, holding a shattered piece of scalp, which also had a strange glow of spirituality.
Two pieces of Extraordinary Relics?
This is extrely rare unless the headless Lantern Bearer had devoured so other bizarre creatures before.
"The spiritual glow of this relic is relatively weak." Gemma identified after a mont.
Her Identification Skill seed a bit different from Shawn’s, as she used the glow of spirituality to identify Extraordinary Relics.
——Lantern’s Scalp [Extraordinary Relic].
Creatures from the Spirit Realm are difficult to deal with, and in the Bizarre Realm, they should be considered elite monsters, because they can switch between tangible and intangible forms, making it difficult for ordinary firearms to kill them. Transcendents on the Ranger Path, like Hank, unless using special bullets, would have a hard ti dealing with intangible monsters.
"Let’s handle it first, seal up the relic."
Benjamin glanced at Shawn, confird that he was only slightly disheveled, and imdiately said to Gemma, "Hand it over to the logistics departnt to deal with, see if they can clean the pollution on it."
The Extraordinary Relics Shawn acquired previously had all been cleaned once, those that hadn’t were still carrying residual consciousness from the bizarre creatures.
For example, the ’Endless Regret’, the segnt of dark blue intestine, would envelop anyone nearby with the negative emotion of ’regret.’ Extracting Extraordinary Relics for spells on the Wizard Path would also induce mild ntal contamination, generally, Extraordinary Relics that had been processed would have much lighter degrees of pollution, equivalent to an additional purification ritual.
"Also a pitiful person."
Shawn pulled out a stick of incense, lit it, as a gesture, to pay respects to the other party.
After all, he was a predecessor.
When it was ti to take action, he would never hesitate, but after finishing, he would still observe propriety.
This person was dignified in life, but unfortunately, in the end, couldn’t overco the Heart Demon.
Transcendents must learn to accept themselves gradually turning into monster-like forms as they grow in power, for they are inherently using monster power.
"It’s better to be without Spiritual Vision, like those ’illiterate’ Transcendents born without it."
Here’s a nod to those on the Barbarian Path, since their mid to low sequences rarely lose control, having less in mind is easier.
The following clean-up work was for the logistics departnt.
Benjamin stayed to handle the aftermath, while Shawn and Gemma returned to headquarters to report, the logistics departnt personnel would repeatedly scan the scene, erasing any supernatural traces.
It was already 7:30 PM by the ti everything was done.
While returning ho, Shawn bought a flavored burrito and a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, eating as he walked.
"Today’s monster hadn’t made exert my full strength."
"If it were a one-on-one fight, I should be able to handle it."
Shawn evaluated his own strength, realizing that the abilities on the Wizard Path were indeed more flexible and versatile than other Transcendents’ paths, today he had left reserves, didn’t even use Invisibility, but battling this kind of monster didn’t require playing hide and seek.
Against human Transcendents as hypothetical enemies, Shawn’s combat power would significantly increase.
"Wonder how Hank is doing?"
"Maybe I should invite him to the Roman Imperial Palace one day to relax?" Shawn took out his keys to open his door.
Footsteps echoed from the stairway.
A middle-aged man with an elegant appearance ca up, nodded slightly upon seeing Shawn, it was the neighbor living opposite him.
"Best to keep a proper distance from ordinary people."
Shawn nodded in response, quickly closed the door, as Transcendents indeed shouldn’t get too close to ordinary people. Hank’s wife was an ordinary person, he ultimately decided to divorce, likely after long struggles and hesitations, still unable to let go of everything.
"Luckily, I never thought about getting married."
Shawn took off his coat, brewed himself a strong tea, wanting to have so green tea, planning to see if he could get so another day.
Ti quickly passed by more than a month.
Shawn hadn’t managed to invite Hank to the Roman Imperial Palace, as Hank applied for a long leave the day after the incident to visit his hotown, which is in the Naples Region, a small coastal place.
.........
In a pitch-black, cold cetery.
As the clouds surged, a sliver of faint moonlight erged, before a recently buried tomb, a group of bizarre, hunched creatures resembling lanky hunting dogs was digging up the cetery, with human-like limbs but crawling, humpbacked forms like hounds, covered in black fur. Their abdons swelled, and their sharp claws seed to tear at sothing, the air thick with the scent of blood and decay. These creatures had six partial human-like facial features, but their murky eyeballs glead chillingly in the darkness.
A breeze blew past.
The leaves moved not far away, then a shallow footprint appeared on the ground; the expansive wilderness showed no sign of any living creatures. A monster feasting turned its head cautiously, finding nothing, it resud gnawing at whatever it was.
