When the plot-skips players into the game world Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Chapter 99: The Grey Celestial Marshal’s Creation_2 Chapter 155: Chapter 99: The Grey Celestial Marshal’s Creation_2 ——Specifically, it’s “Spider Silk”.

“[Spider Silk] is a special life form created by the Grey Celestial Marshal.

Its essence is a kind of collective Phantom Demon…

It’s not an individual, but a ‘collective.’ It has no shell, nor a physical body, its carrier is ‘lies.’ It has not made a contract with but has completed ‘symbiosis’ with …

This is also a special way of existence for the Path of Adaptation.”

“…Lies?”

Aiwass had no misunderstanding about the concept of symbiosis.

He just murmured softly, thoughtfully, “Worthy of being a creation of the Grey Celestial Marshal…”

The Grey Celestial Marshal is also one of the nine Celestial Marshals from the first descent, whose domain is “lies”—things that are neither black nor white, words that are neither evil nor good.

And Lily, without any reservations, revealed to Aiwass the most important secret in the Spider’s Silk Sensing.

...

“Snake’s hair, cat’s footsteps, moth’s cage, centipede’s noose…”

Aiwass recited this taphor and guessed roughly, “Snakes have no hair, cats have no footsteps, moths have no cages, and centipedes can’t be strangled to death—these represent four non-existent things.

In reality, they should refer to the envoys of the Lord of Scalefeather and the eight realms of the Lord of Scalefeather besides deceit.”

“The strongest envoy of the Lord of Scalefeather, Akpolis, his taphor is the snake.

The snake represents both poison and dicine in the Path of Adaptation.

“The cat represents disguise and hunting, worshipped by the ‘hunters’ of the Path of Adaptation; the moth stands for disappearance and change, a symbol revered by impersonators and assassins.

The centipede is able to adapt to various environnts, evade various dangers, and enter various caves and thus is the symbol of foresight and refuge.

“In addition to that, the realm of the Lord of Scalefeather also includes deceit.

This realm is very close to the lies of the Grey Celestial Marshal, who probably harbors hostility towards the Lord of Scalefeather for this reason…”

Of course, maybe it’s not hostility.

——It’s also possible that what the Grey Celestial Marshal really ans is “Hey boss, don’t you feel like you’re missing an envoy, and it just so happens I’m the perfect fit.” That would be quite adaptive, too.

Aiwass added in his mind.

The “Spider’s Silk Sensing” tells of sixty-seven secrets regarding “Spider Silk”, constituting a very complete inheritance.

Including [Weaving Lies], [Silkthread Perception], [Silkthread Stealth], [Silk Thread Control] four Mystical Skills, it’s already enough to support a profession…

It’s just that this inheritance was born before the ergence of professions, so Lily has not acquired her own Extraordinary Profession.

But on the other hand, she can also be considered the founder of this profession.

It could be called “Spider Walker” or “Silkthread ssenger” or sothing like that…

It’s up to her preference.

Currently, after only one night, Lily has already beco proficient in three of those abilities.

One of which is to erase her own footsteps sounds, this is “[Silkthread Stealth]”; another is to sense the “insects” entering her capture range by spreading a spider web.

She can also summoned a strong and sharp silk thread to be used as a weapon.

This is Lily actualizing the “Spider Silk” entity, made up of Lily’s lies.

The more solid the lie, the tougher the spun thread; the more cutting the lie, the sharper the spun thread…

It cannot be poisoned, enchanted, but at the sa ti, it won’t hurt oneself, and it will never run out, as it can be dissolved at any ti.

She is still pondering on how this ability should be developed.

When Aiwass entered the door earlier, the dense spider silk he saw was not an illusion.

It was Lily continuously spinning silk, researching her newly acquired ability.

When Aiwass entered, she had just about figured out how to use this spider silk.

With just a thought from her, the spider silk spread throughout the room disappeared instantly like an illusion.

She probably won’t beco an assassin now.

But it’s okay, she still has stealth abilities…

then the rare equipnt Aiwass prepared for her earlier can still be used.

So Aiwass gave Lily the [Shadow Stalker], as a celebration of her successful entry into the Transcendent world.

Lily had seen the waist protector before—she noticed it when helping Aiwass tidy up the personal garnts left in his room by those assassin misses, and even washed it clean under Aiwass’s instructions.

But she never expected that this was the gift Aiwass had ntioned he would give to her…

Nevertheless, Lily accepted it with all seriousness and imdiately put it on.

After all, it was sothing Aiwass had emphasized as extrely valuable.

Once she wore it, she imdiately felt her “Silkthread Stealth” ability beco smoother.

The idea that Aiwass’s wheelchair could drive itself was just a joke before.

But now, if Lily was to push Aiwass’s wheelchair from behind, it was truly difficult to notice soone was behind him.

If Lily didn’t speak, ordinary people wouldn’t notice her presence at all.

With Lily’s protection, Aiwass could even go out to the Lohar District without having to wear a stone cotton collar.

Moreover, if soone planned to ambush Aiwass, Lily could imdiately sense the danger—serving as an external hostile warning device and an invisible, moving true eye in stealth mode.

This true eye was even rather good at fighting!

And it’s probably better at fighting than an unequipped Aiwass…

Wearing her two core purple garnts of her profession, Lily’s perfectly tid sneak attacks could even pose a direct threat to Hayna.

Besides, her perceptual range was much more reliable than that of Hayna.

Now the personal maid had beco a personal bodyguard.

Aiwass no longer had to always drag soone along whenever he wanted to go out.

And bringing Lily along ca with benefits—if he encountered danger, he could use the Shadow Demon, which wasn’t an option when going out with Sherlock or Hayna.

Because Lily knew of the Shadow Demon’s existence and would keep Aiwass’s secrets, as long as Aiwass managed to clean up any evidence.

Even if not as a maid or bodyguard, rely as a teammate, she was undoubtedly very dependable.

With Lily’s talent, she might even catch up with his first advancent ceremony…

So this ti, Aiwass didn’t call Hayna for protection, but went out directly with Lily.

Following the address given by the Elf butler, they headed to Bishop Mathers’s ho, which was also “Mrs.

Mina’s Fortune Telling Shop.”

Sherlock was currently there recovering from his injuries, and Aiwass, who had appeared in the newspapers, also had to find a way to explain to Bishop Mathers how he had managed to activate the Holy Sword sealed within the key…

One lie needs a hundred lies to cover it, and Bishop Mathers could also sense Aiwass’s energy level on the Path of Devotion…

He was now at the second energy level.

Therefore, Aiwass decided to stop acting altogether.

There was no need to hide his talents, or rather, there was no point as they would be revealed the mont the Holy Sword, which required thirty-three mana points to manifest, appeared.

Bishop Mathers would understand everything.

Therefore, Aiwass decided to co clean first, not just to Bishop Mathers, but also to Sherlock.

“—Yes, I went straight ho that day, advanced successfully, and I plan to reach the third energy level next month.”

Aiwass was planning to say this when the ti ca.

By doing so, Sherlock would most likely guess who “Fox” was.

—If Sherlock and Isabel both knew he was the “Fox,” but at the sa ti thought the other did not know…

What kind of wonderful reactions would the two have at the advancent ceremony?

Aiwass felt he might be a bit mischievous.
