Murphy put down the core orb and took the scarlet crossbow at hand.

This thing he captured from the former Vault guard "Scrooge" Zuckerber, this is a very good weapon, combining elegance, beauty and power, and greatly filling the weakness of Murphy's current long-range attack.

As the vampire hung it around his waist, the thing's information label still flashed in his eyes:

Name: Scrooge Classical Mechanical Crossbow

Quality: Standard, [Elite] Commander

Traits: Extreme Penetration, Enhanced Demon Breaker, Enhanced Hit Modifier

Special effect:

1. Triple shots

2. The crossbow is engraved with the [Magic Bullet] spell, which allows the user to inject psionic energy to form a light arrow in the empty bullet state, which weakens the destructive power but comes with the special effects of different types of psionic energy.

Maker: A loan shark victim

Item Description:

[The greedy Zuckerber prefers business to fighting, and he treats everyone who borrows his money equally, and hardly gives up a single payment that will be broken.]

Except this time.

A gambling-addicted halfling mechanic relies on his talent and skill to escape from a vampire creditor.

But the next day, he couldn't control his hands and borrowed a large sum of money to try to turn it over, but unfortunately, Zuckerberg no longer needed a second-in-command crossbow. 】

The achievement of getting a new weapon and getting the [Certificate of Elite] brought Murphy a hint of joy just now, but after seeing the things brewing in the deepest part of the Blood Vulture Corridor with his own eyes, that little joy quickly turned into a touch of bitterness.

Murphy knew that this trip to the "dungeon" would be dangerous, but he never imagined that he would face something of the level of the subspace rift.

Although he was not a master of psionic knowledge, and his knowledge of the complex triple mapping of subspace, the astral plane, and the physical world was limited to the scope that a psionic apprentice should know, even so, he had heard of the prestige of the subspace rift.

Even if he didn't know anything, he knew how dangerous the thing in front of them was just by looking at the melancholy and heavy expression of the old knight Finok next to him.

At this time, it was two hours after the first contact, and the two of them were resting behind the door leading to the hall leading to the Holy Blood Pool.

Murphy felt that his unbearable headache had diminished a lot, and his will was regained.

And the old knight was clearly making the final preparations for a desperate fight.

He kept whispering the name of the god, and applied a blessing called "divine magic" to himself with various spell casting actions, and Murphy was also preparing at this time, but he did not bless any buffs, but took a deep breath and opened the depth data on the character card to check the battle record just now.

Before he can fight an unknown force, he must first figure out what he is up against.

The in-depth data battle record that felt useless before actually came in handy at this time.

The improvement of templates and levels has also improved his thinking, and this time he didn't almost faint like last time when he turned on the deep data, but with a flower in front of him, the character card was transformed into a super complex look.

Murphy looked at the detailed battle record on the attached sheet, and the text description was precisely located at the moment when he and old Finok pushed open the door and were impacted by the subspace aura.

Then the vampire secretly sighed that this battle record is really detailed:

05:35:21 - Perform the [Open the Door] move with Gold-Tier neutral target Finnock Lawson.

05:35:22 - You perceive an unknown force impact!

The breath of subspace is coming, and the will of chaos notices you.

Psychiatric examination begins!

The caster is a subspace rift [Medium and Small] with a weakened chaotic force field, which releases a mental impact once per second on anyone who comes close, with a benchmark verification value of 25.

Your current thinking attribute is 11.5, your perception attribute is 15, you have no mental protection bonus, no mental weakness, and your current mental shock defense immunity value is 11.5+1D15!

05:35:23 - First roll of the dice.

The exemption value is 11.5+7, which is less than 25.

Waiver failed!

You look straight into the subspace rift.

You see the illusion of thousands of stars smiling at you.

05:35:24 - Second roll.

The exemption value is 11.5+2, which is less than 25.

Waiver Big Failure!

You look straight into the subspace rift.

You hear the Phantom Dark Nebula whispering to you.

Your mental stress has risen!

You gain the [Psionic Vision] effect, your perception of the power of chaos is clearer, and your mental stress is doubled.

05:35:25 - Third roll.

The exemption value is 11.5+15, which is greater than 25.

Waiver is a big success!

You suddenly remember that Tris is still waiting for you, and this beautiful memory gives you strength and gives you more courage to hold on until the end of the contact.

The power of the bloodline contract has helped you, and your mental stress has weakened.

05:35:26 - Fourth roll.

The exemption value is 11.5+14, which is greater than 25.

Waiver Successful!

You remember that your cute little players still need you to gain a foothold in another world, and they are with you, giving you more courage to persevere until the end of the contact.

Your spirit has stabilized.

05:35:27 - Your companion Gold-Tier neutral target, Finoch Lawson, has helped you with the [Close the Door] action!

05:35:28 - The subspace aura weakens! Psychiatric examination ended.

The [Vision] effect disappears.

You get the Mental Exhaustion effect.

After watching the battle record in its entirety, which was only 8 seconds, Murphy was almost scared out of a cold sweat.

Two failed exemptions allowed him to get a [Vision] effect that didn't sound good, and if he failed again in the third second, I'm afraid something pretty bad would happen.

"Thank you."

The vampire rubbed his aching head, and said to old Finok:

"I was almost captured by the breath of subspace, and I finally know why the vampires here are so crazy, and they have not been able to resist the temptation and call from Chaos."

The old knight did not answer.

"Of course they can't stand it! Because, this is not something that the black iron and silver levels can face at all. ”

Old Finoch looked at Murphy with a rather subtle look, and after a few seconds he said:

"You know what? With the spiritual power of your rank, it is impossible to withstand the invasion of subspace, and you should have been captured as a madman in the first four seconds of looking directly at it. Especially since you're still a vampire, a naturally dark race, and your resistance to these forces of chaos will only be worse.

How did you do that? ”

"The love and light in my heart gives me the strength to resist the call of Chaos, probably so."

Murphy touched his heart, and he looked up and said to old Finok:

"Can you bless me with some psychic spells of spiritual protection? I've just seen a lot of high-level vampires worshipping the will of subspace, the last threat we have before we face Salokdal.

I can't leave these chaos maniacs to my warriors, who will lose their troops and lose their enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

We must take out the Chaos Maniacs before they regroup. ”

"Ordinary people always choose to run away after such an experience, but you have given me a surprise, Murphy, my impression of you has changed again."

The old knight took out three wooden scrolls from his battle bag and handed them to Murphy.

He whispered:

"Any life that does not give in to the madness of the subspace deserves respect, and in the teachings of the Old Religion, the demons from the subspace are the great enemies of all living beings in the entire world, and that is the enemy that my god Avalon has always fought against in the astral plane.

Now I can finally see you as a collaborator and teammate for more meaningful reasons, rather than being interested.

We must now put aside all the gaps and work together, Murphy, and once a subspace rift of this magnitude opens in the physical world, everything you know and love will be wiped out in an instant.

We

We too will be sinners for the whole world! ”

"On the bright side, if we win, we'll be the heroes of the world."

Murphy grinned, took the scroll and put it in his hand, and the information label popped up:

Name: Avalon Saints Secret Scroll Rubbing X3

Efficacy: Read the stories of the Avalon Saints fighting against evil creatures and be inspired by their will, greatly boosting the reader's spirit (Thinking +5, Perception +5) and applying the [Psychic Fire (Chaos Resistance Increase)] effect to the reader for a short time.

Maker: [Lord of White Oak] Finnock Lawson

Item Description:

[Legend has it that Avalon is a benevolent and kind deity of order, who came to the astral plane to favor the elven race in particular, and has good intentions for all graceful and beautiful creatures.

So before using this item, you'd better pack yourself properly so that you don't get disgusted by Avalon for being too sloppy. 】

"Hey, meaningless warning, how can a vampire so handsome and elegant Lao Tzu be disgusted?"

Murphy pursed his lips and pulled the scroll open.

The moment he read the words, a wave of power poured into his body, and as the scroll in his hand dissipated like a burn, he could feel a force lingering in his heart, like a flame beating and warming his soul, so that he no longer feared those cold creepy things.

And in the deep data battle record, the events of these few seconds are recorded in detail:

07:27:38 - You use the [Avalon Saints Secret Scroll Rubbing], read the stories of the saints, and the blessings of nature psychic energy begin!

07:27:39 - A boundless will notices you!

He is beginning to look at you!

You're handsome from all races.

He is pleased to bless you!

Your mind is +5 for 30 minutes.

07:27:40 - He continues to look at you!

The grace you have maintained in the past has made Him more pleased with you!

Your Perception is +5 for 30 minutes.

07:27:42 - He takes one last look at your heart!

Your secret affection and loyalty to a vampire lady led Him to praise you as a pure flower born in the night, and your love and protection for the Warriors of the Atlas led Him to believe that you were not an evil forged for the darkness.

When you are inflicted Psychic Fire, Chaos Resistance is increased, and the Psychic Shock Immunity base value is reduced to 20.

07:27:45 - He blesses your love and ambition.

You are granted the effect of [Affirmation of Avalon], which permanently increases the resistance of natural psionic energy by a small amount, and you have learned the passive skill [Animal Language].

07:27:48 - The Infinite Will loses interest in you, and He looks away, for the time being.

“？？？”

This series of prompts made Murphy's eyes widen, and the old Finoch next to him dropped his jaw in shock.

As a Nature Saint, he was of course a bit "ill-intentioned" to hand over a scroll with a faint divinity to a vampire, and intended to use this as a way to remind Murphy not to be a moth in his future actions.

But the imaginary scene of Murphy being scorched by the fire of nature not only did not appear, but instead saw in him the illusion of green leaves that seemed to be converging.

Does this mean that the god Avalon has approved of this vampire?

How is this possible!

My god, you are the god of order, how can you recognize a dark creature?

"What's wrong? Is there something unseemly on my face? ”

Murphy noticed the old knight's stunned expression, and he asked, who coughed, threw away the one-handed hammer and natural iris shield, drew the great oak blade behind him with his backhand, and whispered:

"It's nothing, I just saw something incredible, and it seems that the god Avalon likes you very much."

"I like Him too, he's generous enough, he's a great deity."

Murphy grinned and shook his thumb before picking up the one-handed hammer and iris shield he had left behind in his bag as the old knight looked at him with a strange look, before he pulled out the Lust Clan Blade and reapplied the Vampire Slayer sword oil and held the Scrooge mechanical crossbow in his hand.

Then he took a deep breath and looked at old Finoch.

This vampire is really "thrifty", but the problem is that I didn't mean that I didn't want my weapons and shields on the ground, I just didn't need them for a while, and you just took them in front of me

You're really thick-skinned! That gesture of picking up rags made me embarrassed to come back.

The old knight complained in his heart.

In the next moment, the two of them kicked out at the same time, kicking open the wooden door in front of them that blocked the atmosphere of subspace.

This not only alarmed the attention of the dozen or so mad sons in the front hall who were kneeling down in the subspace rift that was slowly rotating towards the top of the holy pool, brewing unknown calamities, but also made Murphy feel the same spiritual impact as before.

But this time the battle record is very different:

07:29:27 - You perceive a mental power shock!

The subspace breath is coming, the will of chaos notices you, and the spiritual examination begins!

The caster is a subspace rift [Medium and Small], which comes with a weakened chaotic force field, which releases a mental impact once per second on anyone who enters or approaches, and the verification value is corrected to 20 due to the application of [Psychic Fire].

Your current thinking attribute is 11.5+5, your perception attribute is 15+5, [Psychic Fire] spirit bonus, no mental weakness, and your current mental shock defense immunity value is 16.5+1D20.

07:29:28 - First roll of the dice.

The exemption value is 16.5+16, which is greater than 20.

Waiver is a big success!

You have gained the Iron Will effect, which increases your deterrent power against the Chaos Thing!

07:29:29 - You fearlessly look straight into the subspace rift, and the chaos of evil can't shake your fiery mind, so you give it a middle finger.

You have unleashed a taunt on the will of subspace.

07:29:30 - The Subspace Will does not react to your provocation, however, the Subspace minions are enraged.

——

"Restored"

The neighing of warhorses echoed in the night, and a ride like a scarlet meteor galloped across the dark land of Transnesia.

Reaching Cadman City in three hours from the Crimean fortress on the southernmost border of Transylasia may sound like an impossible feat, more than 100 kilometers away, but it is only a minor challenge for the knight lord who is galloping on horseback at this time.

The constraints of space and distance are always extremely tolerant of the powerhouses of the Golden Rank.

"Ah, what a pity, I have just formed a pure and praiseworthy friendship with the beautiful lady of the commander of the Winter Wolf Legion, and I have not even given the Night Rose to that beautiful person to express my admiration."

The heavily armored knight riding on his armoured steed wore no helmet, and let the wind blow his long golden hair through the night.

The resolute face and gentle blue eyes of a lover made the tall Blood Knight Lord look unusually coquettish, and even at such a high speed, the black and red night roses he placed on his breastplate were unaffected.

He looked up at the ruins of Cadman City, which was already in view, and his already somewhat melancholy and regretful eyes showed even more enthusiasm.

"But on the bright side, I'm about to see the muse I've been absent for more than a hundred years, ah, beautiful and cold Lady Trace, and you're even in the top twenty of my goddesses."

"Paliano!"

Just as the handsome knight was going crazy, a low rebuke sounded in his heart, and he was immediately stunned.

"Lord, I'm here."

"I have learned of everything that has happened in the Vulture Corridor, and you must stop the subspace rift from opening in the physical world at all costs, and I will give you the authority to arbitrate the power of the Crimson Spear on your behalf! Make good use of the power of eternal silence.

Also, when the matter is over, bring Fimis Cecilia Lesenbra back to the Knights' Residence!

I needed her to report to me personally on the whole process of the Cadman City incident and had a few small questions to ask her. ”

"Yes! Lord Pa Ying, your will is the direction in which I wield my sword. ”

"Sober up, Paliano! You never use a sword. ”

"Well, parables, just the art of figuratives, lord, you have no sense of humor."
