Chapter 979: Chapter 718: I Treat You as a Brother_2
“This kind of protection does not co from himself…”
“But seems to truly originate from this world.”
This was simply terrible, if things continued like this, even without considering if the corpse would rot, those injuries caused by accidents would slowly turn Roger into a patchwork monster.
“Having exterminated Water Ghosts and slain Monster Spirits, I never expected to beco a monster myself.”
Roger couldn’t help but mock himself.
If he didn’t want to kill, once this body was damaged beyond control or accidentally exposed, he’d have no choice but to try his luck finding fresh corpses near the cetery.
Of course, there’s one more prerequisite…
That other corpses do not reject his control.
Roger indeed had little confidence in this.
“Let’s solve the present problem.”
Having determined the direction, he imdiately changed his original approach.
Since this was a corpse, it couldn’t be treated as a living person, so Roger found a quiet room, sent everyone away, and took out a set of practice longswords.
He controlled the body to move swiftly, endless techniques flowing out.
Even severely damaged, Roger’s soul ability at this mont far exceeded his imagination, as the previous world primarily cultivated through bloodline.
Soul prowess only rose passively.
Even so, because his level was too high, his Soul Power was passively elevated to a high level.
Soon, his frail body stopped in place.
“It’s really not working.”
Practices ant for the living are ineffective on the dead.
This is easy to understand, as every Transcendent seeks longer life, not to beco a walking corpse.
Without sensation, it’s almost no different from a machine encased in a steel shell.
Food no longer tastes delicious, spring water no longer sweet.
An embrace doesn’t feel warm, and a deep kiss can’t breathe in the other’s scent, over ti, desires diminish, all passion fades.
Then living loses its aning.
All previous cultivation thods required the body as a dium, deeper still, was vibrant Vitality.
These are conditions now absent for Roger.
“But it’s not completely hopeless.”
Besides the most basic Dharma Seal, in the Hunter’s Cabin there’s a special Sword Seal Roger hasn’t started cultivating yet.
Based on Axis Dharma Seal, fused with the rules from World Serpent’s eye fragnt, this new cultivation mainly involves the soul and spiritual power.
In addition to normal swordsmanship practice, there’s also support from Alchemy.
To Roger, the new Axis Sword Seal fully aligned with descriptions of an important Fraction among Demon Hunters in his mory.
Serpent.
Mysterious, venomous.
“Seems to completely match my current situation too.”
Roger looked at the unfamiliar face in the mirror, revealing an awkward smile.
Even starting over, it would take at most a few years, Roger believed he could reach Fourth Tier Peak power through the Axis Dharma Seal.
His soul was strong, but lacked direct offensive capabilities, so now he had a powerful soul, yet couldn’t convert it into corresponding combat power.
But this didn’t an Roger had no ans of self-defense.
In his soul, the Hunter’s Cabin was faintly visible, along with the Shadow Gate, Lantern, and Vitality in the spring, considered a kind of rule evolution.
To fully harness these rules, a powerful body is needed for support, but even as a re soul, he could control part of it.
Possessing incredible power.
If Roger could entirely recover from the soul’s injuries, the power he could wield should be significantly stronger.
Weakness was only temporary, no need for impatience, in this ti he just needed to focus on healing, then gradually understand this world.
His current identity could be described as a perfect scapegoat.
The training thod of the Axis Sword Seal flowed through his mind, Roger already had a plan for the next stage of cultivation.
Although there were currently no signs of any Transcendent power, the peculiar defense on Joseph made Roger aware.
This world definitely still harbored unknown truths.
Knock knock knock.
Accompanied by the sound of knocking, Emily’s voice ca from outside the door, “Mr. Joseph is awake, and keeps insisting on seeing you.”
“I won’t see him, let him go.”
Roger had no intention of opening the door.
Bam bam bam.
The sound gradually intensified, “Henrik, open the door!”
“Open the door!”
Joseph shouted loudly.
“What did you do to ?”
“Open up! You must explain, since when did my drinking capacity beco so poor, drunk after just one glass?”
Joseph persistently shouted.
“Get back imdiately if you’re awake, I’m not feeling well so I won’t see you off.”
Roger calmly replied.
“You’re not feeling well? I’m not feeling well either!”
Joseph yelled, “My head is spinning, and my butt still hurts.”
“What the hell did you do to ?!”
Crack.
Roger reluctantly opened the door, looking at Joseph with unfocused eyes.
“Shut up!”
Roger himself had experienced a soul impact, even involuntarily, Joseph looked terribly miserable.
As for the butt…
Alright, Roger admitted that when he placed Joseph, his actions were indeed too careless, without paying attention to the surroundings at all.
Anyone holding a posture, sitting for a whole morning with a hard object under their butt, would feel severe pain.
Is this guy muddled, thoughtlessly shouting around.
Beside them, Emily’s eyes flashed in realization, she quickly lowered her head, pretending she heard nothing, but the image of the dark red stain on Roger’s lower abdon when she opened the door earlier flashed in her mind.
“It turns out it wasn’t wine, but blood…”
“Whose blood?”
At this mont, Emily suddenly felt that being a woman is a highly fortunate thing.
“So, what do you want from ?”
Roger could only pull Joseph into the room, Joseph, with glazed eyes, took a while to regain so normalcy.
“Damn it, I admit it was wrong to gamble with your safety, but you were too ruthless, tell , what did you put in my wine?”
He muttered a few words then rubbed his hands gleefully, “It works so well with no taste, where did you get it from?”
“If you still have more, maybe I can help you…”
Joseph gave Roger a aningful look.
Roger waved his hand, initially planning to make up so excuse, but at the last mont, he changed his mind, “This is a little personal research of mine.”
“You?” Joseph seed incredulous.
“Why is it impossible? Have you forgotten the industry our Anglu family valued most since our ancestors?”
Joseph’s eyes widened suddenly.
“I get it, it must be sothing passed down by your family!”
He swept away his earlier depression, his eyes shining terrifyingly bright, even Roger was secretly amazed, unlike physical trauma, the side effects from soul damage were more severe and harder to detect.
But looking at Joseph, he seed almost unaffected.
“Yes, it must be!”
Joseph paced back and forth, “What else?”
“What else is in your family’s recipe?”
“Is there that kind?”
Joseph gave Roger an ambiguous look.
“Aww, weren’t you only interested in the thrill of money and gambling? Since when are you interested in won?”
Roger chuckled.
“Recreation, life needs recreation, besides, even if I can’t use it, I can sell it to others…”
“Yes.”
“Really?” Joseph showed a bit of surprise.
Roger nodded with a grin, then took a stick as thick as an arm from the shelf behind him.
“It has everything you want.”
Joseph’s face fell.
“There is, right? There really is, right?” He was still unwilling to give up.
Roger just smiled, without a word.
Roger wasn’t deliberately being frivolous, but the relationship between the original owner of this body and Joseph was just like this.
From those chaotic mories, he also saw many contradictions, previously he didn’t want to delve into it, but now thinking about it, there seed to be sothing else hidden.
“Things are ssy, need to be reorganized and experinted on.”
“So Joseph, if soone could provide sufficient resources, like precious herbs…”
“I suppose my progress could be much faster.”
Joseph looked at Roger, after a mont he gritted his teeth, “Alright, I’ll trust you this once.”
“But you must guarantee, once there are results, no matter what kind of results, you must hand them to to manage for you.”
“Deal.”
Roger nodded, avoiding Joseph’s outstretched right hand without a trace.
At least first solve the body decay issue, if everything goes well, maybe he can try his new ideas.
