Chapter XXVII

The Shadow Warrior didn't let the people outside the door in when he left.

Unlike the slug Feiwen who guarded Squirrel Alley tonight and wanted to rob, Gaco is fierce and has a little bit of wisdom. This wisdom makes Gaco like a fish in water, and eats very openly. He's just a small boss, and according to the structure of the Children of the Night, Gako is currently an 'extra-institutional organization'. Although he is a terrible gangster figure in front of ordinary people, in front of the power of gods and demons, he deeply understands the importance of humility. If the Shadow Warrior hadn't made it clear that he wanted to let Gako in, Gako wouldn't have tried to get in.

Thanks to this, Gustav was able to take a break with ease.

Ungracefully in a large figure, Gustav lay flat on the ground. Outside the moonlight shone in through the skylight and hit him in the face.

At this time, the fire in his eyes began to subside, and along with it, the curse of the Night Mother disappeared.

Your uncle may not be your uncle anymore, but you Gustav is still your Gustav...... A self-deprecating sentence, Gustav's heart overflowed with the great joy of rebirth after the catastrophe.

Being able to escape from the curse of the Night Mother and retain his true nature deepened Gustav's appreciation of the value of self-awareness.

But what exactly happened to me...... Gustav felt the weakness of his limbs, and he didn't want to get up, so he lay on the floor and looked around.

The altar where the Shadow Warrior had left was still there, and Gustav was now able to quietly observe the image on it: the source of pain, the source of fear, the Night Mother.

The image of the Night Mother is depicted as a festering woman after being burned by the flames, and even a small image of the flame still burning has been deliberately retained. Her posture is very beautiful, which contrasts sharply with the extreme ulceration of the surface of her body, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

It could be seen that the Night Mother on the altar was dancing, and at her feet, faces with various painful expressions were trampled. The power of the curse is depicted as black smoke, black fog, that gathers around the image of the Night Mother, who gently holds the smoke as if she were her lover.

This is really a 'woman' with personality...... Looking at the twisted and terrifying image of the Night Mother, Gustav smiled. After he regained himself, his optimism returned.

Sensing that he was a little distracted, Gustav withdrew his thoughts and thought carefully about what had happened.

Gustav was well aware of the turning point of the whole event, and when Nata's dragonized eyes appeared in the memory frame, he was captivated by the scene inside. Afterwards, Gustav fell into darkness once more, and through some special connection, he seemed to have gained the power of Freil.

The essence of Freior's power is, of course, above the Night Mother of Dread, the dragon of life and zeal who is famous even in all planes. Under the counterattack of Fryer's power, the curse of the Night Mother, which is less essential, is dispelled.

"First of all, I can be 100% sure that I am not a so-called dragonborn, let alone the blood of Flair like Nata. Gustav fell into thought. "This has been verified by non-arcane means with His Excellency Joseph. ”

Remembering the first time he used the Burning Sword, Gustav suddenly realized something.

"This time the situation should be similar to the first time I used the Burning Sword, I triggered a mechanism in my body that allowed me to bypass the bloodline and use the opponent's power. ”

In the midst of his thoughts, a very likely answer came to Gustav's mind.

Blasphemy of the priesthood?

Judging by Gustav's shallow knowledge of the arcane, the only answer to the perfect explanation of what is happening at hand is blasphemy against the priesthood.

"Blasphemy priests can indeed steal the divine power that was originally given to believers without believing in the gods. However, there is a big difference from my situation. Gustav looked at it carefully, but shook his head. "I had no training as a blasphemous priest at all, and I didn't know anything about how to steal divine power. And my situation is more special, the Divine Power Steal is just stealing the power that has been given, but I can use the changes that exist by relying on the bloodline. ”

Yes, if I could only use the power of the gods, I might be a natural stealer. However, this ability can even simulate the situation of bloodline, and it is not as simple as stealing...... Gustav felt the strength of his limbs regain some of his strength, and he braced himself against the remaining pain.

He didn't think that the change was caused by the Earth's body, or perhaps some kind of change caused by crossing the crystal wall.

"I already have some idea of how this ability is triggered...... And, in this way, I can even bypass the restrictions of the lesser forbidden demons......" Gustav thought cautiously. "Perhaps, I can continue to be open as a demon banner and make a fortune in silence. ”

A smile appeared on Gustav's lips.

Before entering here, Gustav was ready to tear his face with the Gaco outside. But now he suddenly changed his mind.

"I'll leave aside my current strength...... Even after discussing, in fact, I had a hard time dealing with the Gako gang who had the skills of the Children of the Night. Gustav thought calmly. "So far, the Shadow Warrior shouldn't have tormented me, because Chloe, the client of the Children of the Night, needs an obedient Gustav. And the transitional worship of the Night Mother made her leave in a hurry without detecting my condition, which allowed me to be flexible in my identity. From now on, Gako and I can barely be regarded as 'comrades-in-arms' on the same front. ”

If that Shadow Warrior didn't have any doubts about Gustav, the inferior Gaco and Aaron wouldn't.

"If I choose to tear my face with them now, then I can't guarantee Mr. Leok's safety. Gustav remembered Gaco's threat and didn't want to bring in the kind old man he had just met. "Of course they won't trouble Nata and Joseph, this is Redfarr, the capital of the Red Dragons, and as Dragonborn, they are guarded by the will of Freyer here. ”

Gustav had put aside his unwillingness, anger, and humiliation. He's still too weak, so weak that he can't even protect himself.

"On the side of the Children of the Night, I want to continue to maintain the phenomenon that has been cursed and invaded, paralyzing them while ensuring the safety of Mr. Leok. At the same time...... "Gustav clenched his hands into fists," "it made me completely determined to learn supernatural powers." ”

Standing up, Gustav had already decided to walk outside. He was still in pain, almost stained with dirty vomit.

Until then, he had a bit of a tourist mentality about the world, and even subconsciously, Gustav unilaterally thought that it was a magical utopia, similar to the games he had played when he was on Earth, but now he seemed to let go of some of the naivety of the past.
