27. The Wine Song of the Dragon and the Blood 13
Solving the short-eyed minions that blocked the way, Heartleaf walked towards the depths of the ruins. The vampires encountered on the road www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, some of them glanced at Kokoba, and then lowered their heads and stopped talking.
While acting, I thought.
Alphonse completes the task of the Demon Artifact, giving a little talent point, which according to the description, is the "only" inherent skill point.
The first time you use a talent point, you can greatly strengthen an inherent skill, after which you can't use it again on other skills. Talent points will be combined with bloodlines, etc., to carry out certain transformations and repairs of inherent skills. In other words, continuous use will bring unimaginable benefits to an ordinary skill. After the description of the talent point, there is also a line of words.
"Only available in Epic quests or above."
The two talent points given by the Whispering Gate and the Bloody Quest seem to need to be used with caution?
No... The current situation of the heart leaf is completely different from that of other god chasers. The other God Chasers still have a chance to continue the mission once they die, but Kokoba doesn't, at least in the absence of hostile God Chasers, Kokoba only has one chance. Once dead, the Soul Butterfly will be triggered, and in the absence of a hostile God Chaser, it will surely die. Xinye thought for a moment, and then pointed two points of talent on the Anti-Soul Butterfly.
It's really... Incredible benefits.
Kokoba couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Perfect: Legendary [Soul Butterfly - Cocoon Breaking] (Talent): After the God Chaser is nearing death/death, he will form a cocoon and extradite all living beings around him to 'accept death', and will absorb the power of all suicide victims. When this skill has not been used at the time of this skill, the number of deaths allowed by the God Chaser per mission will be reset to zero. Once this skill is used, it becomes another skill. It is ineffective against God, and ineffective against lifeforms that resist death. Can act on undead creatures with souls, and can act on elemental creatures with souls.
When the cocoon is broken, the God Chaser will be reborn."
There is no description of the skills after rebirth, in fact, compared to the anti-soul butterfly obtained after the initial contract, there is no major change. These two talent points should have fixed its flaws and added an additional effect, but this uncontrollable factor was not in her choice. She cares more about the status quo of the mission than that.
The arrival of the dragon, the threat of the vampires, the dragonborn of ancient legends. Completely worthy of the threat of epic difficulty, Kokoba doesn't know how much time is left, and it is obviously not the best strategy to face all three threats at the same time. What Xinye hadn't considered before, the fatality of the Dancing Flower Soldier's three-way plan, is now completely exposed. No matter which side fails the mission, the remaining God Chasers will have to face the final boss of the other main stories in advance. The result will be a huge natural disaster that the God Chasers such as the Heart Leaf alone cannot face.
This is true in terms of threats alone, but neither Hakong, Milak, nor Alduin can compromise with either side.
In other words, if one of them fails, one succeeds, and one side is left alone, it can evolve into a chaotic war between the three parties plus the God Chaser.
This is of course the best choice for fishing in troubled waters - provided that bosses such as Alduin are not aware of the existence of Kokoba and others. But since the Blood Demon God and the Whispering Lady both knew about the God Chaser, and even Graybeard knew a little bit that Kokoroha and the others were not natives of this world, this plan was naturally abandoned by Kokoro. And the plan that Kokoha mentioned to the priest before, killing Hakong in advance, Kokoha actually didn't plan to implement. It seems that this is her best choice at the moment, but the intricate network of forces in this world, as well as the current situation of civil strife in the empire, make it impossible for this loose empire to withstand the ravages of any boss.
I'm afraid it will be defeated in an instant? With such a worst-case scenario, Kokoba also had to think carefully about the danger of this plan. If you want to maximize the benefits, you shouldn't start with all three main lines at the same time. According to Xinye's idea, accumulating several large branches, and letting them control the several major forces in the open and dark of the empire, and then using the power of several major forces to complete the task, is actually the route with the greatest benefits. The Mage Academy, the Thieves' Guild, the Brothers-in-Arms, the Dark Brotherhood, even if they have subtle cooperation, these forces must be enough to influence the direction of the Imperial War.
But time doesn't allow Kokoba and the others to do it again. What Kokoro didn't think about at first has now become an obstacle for her.
Now, Kokoba can only focus on Hakong, and she has to think about what kind of benefits she can get after killing Hakong.
No... Not so. There is a better way.
She suddenly realizes the true identity of Shanna Guiwen. Although in the last mission, Yakumo Murasaki did know her identity, but... In fact, only Yakumo Purple knows. With the exception of the Hostile God Chaser, in that 'one' mission world, no one who comes into contact with her is aware of her identity. And Yakumo Purple is not an existence that belongs to her 'mission', both are existences comparable to gods, whether it is Shanna Keiwen or Whispering Lady, as an existence in the mission, they will not all know her, and their identity as god-chasers is right.
Yes, why did Shanna Keiwen deliberately delete a part of her memory, the part of her missing memory, after recalling it, has she modified it.... These are all unknowns. She is indeed the Demon God Blood, otherwise Xinye would not have received the task, but she may not be the "original" Demon God Blood.
There is another possibility, which possibility Kokoba has been ignoring, why she knows the identity of herself and others, why the other demon gods in this world, and even the Graybeard she met later also know her identity...
Shanna Gyuwen is also a God Chaser, at least, she was a God Chaser... This is a possibility.
Turning her head and quickly leaving the gloomy crypt, she suddenly realized what kind of world she was inβthe world in which gods could be seen playing with mortals from behind. A world where mortals only need to believe in gods to reap practical benefits... It's so easy.
She clenched the ebony blade in her hand, and then left the ebony blade on the ground casually, this extraordinary magic artifact, falling to the ground alone, and no more sound sounded from her head.
In this uninhabited crypt, no one noticed the purple mist that gradually filled the originally dark pupils.
- What you know is the truth, but it's just... Part. ββ
The priest stayed outside for a few more minutes, but waited for Konoha to leave the crypt and rush out.
He frowned and asked:
"Plans changed?"
"Yes, now... We'll regroup with Alphonse, and then you and Alphonse will go on another mission," Kokoba replied nodding, "Now it's the happy ending you like, wouldn't it be nice for me, an infidel, to kill Hakon?" β
β... yes, I don't have to. β
The priest shook his head, and he looked at the deep night sky.
The dawn is coming, isn't it?
