The flas within the fire pit danced ceaselessly, dispelling the chill and darkness of the early autumn night. The ground, like scorched earth covered in coarse salt, had been cleansed by Arthur using the "Hand of Void." The unconscious Simon had been carried back to his original position, and Pendragon was once again held in Arthur's arms.
Having done all this, the young 'Spirit dium' sat back on the log, his gaze fixed on the text before him—
[The na 'Arthur Kredos' once again entered the vision of the Mystic Side Persons of South Los. They were shocked because of the 'Entrant,' but there was more questioning, disbelief, and doubt. However, there was no doubt that they all rembered you; XP 200]
[When the na 'Arthur Kredos' appeared along with 'Blood Descendants,' more speculations arose. So cautious Mystic Side Persons had already begun considering leaving South Los, while others laughed out loud, and so ambitious fellows kept muttering your na; XP 100]
[The na 'Arthur Kredos' began to be spread by the Mystic Side Persons of South Los in all directions, XP 50]
[More people heard your na; XP 20]
...
Far surpassing any previous XP gains.
Undoubtedly, in this world filled with 'Mystery,' Mystic Side Persons have far more influence than ordinary people. Having one hundred ordinary people know your na is not as beneficial as having one Mystic Side Person know it, and there's another point—
The speed of information spread among Mystic Side Persons is faster!
It could even make ordinary people aware of his na faster.
'Servants of the Mystic Side Persons?'
Arthur pondered as he read the last entry.
Soon after, more speculations appeared.
Firstly, naturally, it was good news, as he would quickly accumulate a wave of XP.
Secondly, the bad news, he would attract more attention.
Especially those with malicious intents and those craving fa would pay more attention to him, and if he handled it poorly, he would have to face continuously erging 'Challengers.'
This would exhaust him from constant running.
And even, a slight mistake could lead to disastrous failure.
After all, human energy is limited.
Even if one slept with their eyes open, they could still be beheaded, let alone soone like him who needed at least six hours of sleep every day.
But that was not the key issue or the most troubleso one.
The vital issue was that he could not "solve the problem once and for all!"
Because, he needed XP, a lot of XP.
With this prerequisite, to so extent, he was quite eager for troublemakers to stir things up.
'Greedy , lazy , always hovering on the edge of death...
Alas, the mistake isn't mine; it's the world's.'
thought the young 'Spirit dium,' as he threw a few logs into the fire pit.
Crack, crack!
The already dancing flas surged higher, and in that unique sound, the bright firelight illuminated Arthur's youthful face.
Beneath the calmness, his eyes were resolute.
The reach of the firelight was upward.
Yet, in the places the firelight could not illuminate—in that young 'Spirit dium's' heart—lurked demons and a chilling intent to kill.
That heart, like the roots of a great tree.
Constantly going deeper, continuously absorbing various nutrients.
Only for...
The young 'Spirit dium' to grow robustly.
The young 'Spirit dium,' aware of all this, harbored no resistance, nor any aversion.
Because, he knew that the him who appeared before the world was him.
The him hidden in the darkness, unseen, was also him.
He didn't need to feel ashad of it.
Nor did he need to bla himself.
Because—
Humans are just that contradictory.
If soone were to bla him, curse him, threaten him, slander him,
then, that person would no longer be 'human'.
He had both the responsibility and the duty to drive out and purify those who are not 'human'.
After all, he was a young, upright, simple, and kind 'Spirit dium'.
And to achieve these, one must have strength.
So—
'Upgrade the "Hand of Void" level!'
[Consuming 100XP, Hand of Void Lv4→Lv5]
[Hand of Void Lv5: Your "Hand of Void" had already broken through the cage, sothing no one could have imagined reaching this extent—this was Hercules' little joke. Soone had once accused this master of being maliciously mysterious. Others had given many suggestions to this master, who listened to such accusations and suggestions, and found them good, but he just didn't accept them and, moreover, laughed saying it was all 'Destiny,' even if such 'Destiny' wasn't real. But now your 'Hand of Void's' power, speed, and range have increased again, and they have beco six; Effect: Based on Spirituality, consus physical strength, uses Glyphic Language Ei a ro to create six hands of void to serve you.]
(Note 1: The Hand of Void will resemble the creator's own palms with flexible fingers and retaining part of the wrists and one third of the forearm, and will always be visible to the creator)
(Note 2: The Hand of Void is invisible but can be touched and will take damage. When it reaches its damage limit, the Hand of Void disappears. When any of the six Hands of Void disappear, you can individually replenish them, consuming physical strength equivalent to one Hand of Void)
(Note 3: The current level of the Hand of Void can pick up items not heavier than 50kg, with a movent speed comparable to an adult running swiftly, and can be a maximum of 20 ters away from the creator)
(Note 4: After creating the Hand of Void, the creator will continuously consu physical strength, which will accelerate when the Hands of Void pick up an item. When all six Hands of Void are present, the physical strength consumption will double.)
(Note 5: When releasing the Hand of Void, the Hand of Void disappears but the dissipated physical strength does not return)
(Note 6: At the current stage, you do not need to fully recite the Glyphic Language Ei a ro to create the Hand of Void, just silently recite it in your mind)
(Note 7: The secret technique has reached its current limit.)
...
[Spirituality 0.3]
...
A stronger synchronization of body and knowledge began.
A chill directly appeared over Arthur's heart, soaking into the detailed appearance of his palms—thumbs, index fingers, middle fingers, ring fingers, and pinky joints, which had already appeared and now seed more lifelike. Arthur could clearly see the fingerprints on his fingers and the palm lines were also beginning to erge.
Although he had anticipated it, the joy Arthur felt when another pair of "Hand of Void" was added was still hard to contain.
What could six "Hand of Void" do with one more pair?
Not only did it add variability in combat, but the convenience in daily life also increased exponentially.
No one understood the convenience better than Arthur.
For this reason, Arthur primarily chose "Hand of Void," and considering physical strength, he would opt for "Cat's Grace.Orange" to complent it.
Glancing at the remaining 392 XP points, Arthur keenly sensed the changes in his body due to the increase in Spirituality.
There were no significant changes, unlike the balancing sensation brought by the "Ring of Equilibrium Blood." After the "Cat's Grace.Orange" Ritual was completed, and his capacity for Spirituality had greatly increased, the increase in Spirituality was no longer as intense but beca mild and silent.
'Strength brings all changes.'
Arthur felt a sigh of reflection within him as his gaze swept over the "Ring of Equilibrium Blood," which had greatly helped him. Although sowhat reluctant, he knew that the "Ring of Equilibrium Blood" should be retired.
However, Arthur was not in a hurry to take off the "Ring of Equilibrium Blood" or imdiately learn "Cat's Grace.Orange." His gaze lingered on the remarks and notes of Lv5 "Hand of Void."
'Is everything 'Destiny'?
That sounds just like Old Charlie hoodwinking people!
And 'The secret technique has reached its current limit!' '
Arthur stroked his chin, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He suddenly had a guess in his heart.
