Chapter 63: Basement Dwellers
"Blow?" Junior asked him, its blue jelly protector lying on its sword bait.
"With the privilege you were born with." Victor explained, sitting in an armchair by the fireplace in the hall of the manor. He put his new scythe and bazooka on either side. "Nothing too painful, after I'm mentally prepared-"
Blue Jelly nodded at every word he said.
Then it jumped up and hit him in the eye through the gap in his helmet!
Victor let out a scream of surprise and pain as the little creature bounced off his face and landed on little James' back again.
[Troll Reply] Activated! You have gained [Reply] status.
Congratulations! You've learned [mud beating] personal welfare!
[Slime-Slam]: Technology. You can jump up to ten times your height and fire yourself at your opponents, dealing a weak physical damage.
"Does it hurt?" Junior asked, sounding worried. Over time, this mimic has become almost as loyal to its food source as cats.
"What the hell is this!?" Victor replied, although his eyes had been restored by regeneration.
You have recovered all your HP.
Victor stroked little James's back with one hand, and he imitated little James's snoring sound, and Victor glanced through the window to see that the sun had slowly disappeared behind the mountain. Night is coming; It's the perfect time to launch another attack.
His priests set up guards around the mansion to prevent the new undead – with the exception of some members of the Scepter and Raptor commandos – from entering. While Ravi may disable them, she must activate the alarm. The cult of the Moon Man has begun to protect his house, forming a formidable defensive force.
In the end, he has a cult army worthy of his haunted house.
Speaking of the military, Kia chose to walk into the hall with the company this time.
The Paladin said that she showed him the new and improved Ranger of Prey. Each of them now wears light dwarven armor, swords, and whips. "This is your new team of vampire hunters!"
"Only the dead can know the true power of 'poof'." Huang said in a guttural voice.
Red said happily: "With the [Mo] that we received from the chieftain

Squi

"Knights of Winkel!" Tears of joy were added to the pink eyes.
"Good, but please give me a moment," Victo
As he spoke, he got up from his chair and used [Mo] on Kia

Kachin Independence Army Bekele
Angel - Blessed Human (Humanoid/Angel)
Weaknesses: alcohol, depression, boredom.
Powerful Opponents: Everything else (epic level,!)
The most dangerous game in the world, a two-legged carnivore from an alien planet, ruthless Earth. This fearsome mammal, though lacking in strength, is more than compensated for by its intelligence, cruelty, and numbers; Their bodies are made of carbon. Carbon! Like diamonds!
If left unchecked, these bloodthirsty primates can conquer entire worlds with the power of science, destroying ecosystems and killing anything that comes across them. You don't have to beep them; They will beep you. Then they use your skin to make a wallet!
In short, this is a human woman. At the same time, a
gel-blessed。
Didn't show up. Good. He checked every member of the kobold rangers and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wait, you just used Scan Pe on us
k?" Kia said, placing her heavily armed hands on her hips. "It's racial profiling!"
"You did it the first time we met!" Victor also complained. "Nightblade has a doppelganger, and they can blend assassins in your midst."
Kia replied, "After you pointed out what it meant, I stopped scanning people's karma." "I have (the Eye of Mithra) Pe
k。 While it doesn't detect any physical changes, I can see things through invisibility and hallucinations. Like an invisible bat. ”
As she said these words, Victor heard a voice in the corner of the room. Kia stretched out a finger and shot a small dagger of light that pierced an unseen creature and pinned it to the wall. The vizier watched in amazement as a huge bat appeared in front of him, pierced like a hunting trophy.
"How long has it been in the room?" He asked, and little James roared at the beast.
"It's been too long," Kia replied. "It's a vampire curse. It doesn't have anything on its own, but it can dive into almost anywhere. ”
Victor wasn't surprised that the Nightblades had planted a spy in his house, but it did upset him. "It would be great if you could check out the rest of the building afterwards. Did you send me the letter I wanted?"
"Of course, Kevin is already doing it. Are you progressing in your training?"
"This." Victor looked at the list of Perks he had collected over the past two days.

To be honest, he barely remembered what half of them did. It would be a nightmare, especially if he learned to practice necromancy. "[Brain Blast] deals weak psychic damage, [Hundred Needles] deals weak plant damage, [Bullet Punch] deals weak physical damage, [Shock] deals weak lightning damage......"
"So all sorts of weak, easy-to-forget attacks?" Kia didn't sound impressed. at all.
Unfortunately, she has a point. Most of the Pe
KS also lacks strength, as no monster in the Whispering Nation can match Fu in strength
ibo
and so on.
Monster Knight is indeed the Swiss Army Knife of the profession. He didn't know how many skills he could learn......
Congratulations! Learn more than 15 monster perks through the hard training method, and you've earned a [Perk Forging] personal perk!
[Skill Forging]: You can fuse the skills of various monsters into one stronger skill; However, you will permanently lose your interest in Pe
k components, and they can't be relearned.
The more Victor learned, the more convinced he was that the system encouraged specialization to some extent. "Hey, I can fuse the monster perk now."
"How many at once?" Kia asked curiously, while Ju
io
is chewing on a bat in the corner.
"I don't know, I didn't mention it."
"Then why not all of them?" The Kachin Independence Army presented. "You might end up with the most powerful abilities ever...... Or a fusion accident. ”
Since he has permanently lost the component, Victor cannot risk sacrificing a powerful ability like [Black Curse]. He could try Kia's idea, but he would first test this Pe by using components that work well with synergy
k。
Then, Victor decided to combine [Passage Hellfire (Small)] and [Dragonfire (Wy
mli
g)], because he definitely doesn't want to go through Vai again
queu
of breathing. Dragon Fire does much more damage than normal flames, and even Victor has his limits.
Select Register. You will [Passage Hellfire (Minor)] and [Dragon's Breath (Wy
mli
g)] merged into [Black Fire].
[Black Fire]: Skill, 1 point per second. You can unleash the gloomy hellfire from your hands, feet, or mouth; Half of the damage is of the [Dragon] type, and the other half is of the [Evil] type. This technique can bypass [Fire] Resistance. When you deal fire damage through a spell or skill, you now deal an additional 20% of [Evil] damage.
Not bad, but not game-changing. The fact that it costs less than its two constituent techniques means that Victor shouldn't run out of SP in battle, just as he did against adventurers.
Well, it's time to validate Kia's hypothesis. He decided to sacrifice most of his weaker skills and keep only the [Troll Recovery] and [Black Curse] that were really useful.
Select Register. You have combined [Silver Fang], [Brain Blast ], [Mucus Armor], [Poison Fang], [Ghoul Fever], [Hundred Needles], [Blackthorn], [Shock], [Bullet Punch], [Raptor's Burst], [Angel Heart], [Ghost Grudge], [WAZZAAA!]], and [Slime-Slam] become: [Darwinism].
[Darwinist]: When targeted by a moat-type-related effect (such as [Undead] or [Dragon]), you are always considered the most advantageous type or combination of types to solve that effect; Your species will not change, but the system will temporarily register you as a different type. Subject to this Pe
Elements of K influence include weapons, perks, spells, field effects...
"Wait, that's all?" Victor asked disappointedly. It certainly had its uses, but he was expecting something more visually striking. "This thing is more than ten perks?"
"It's a fusion accident."
The charm test is successful!
Well?
There was a knock on the door of the hall. "Please come in," Victor said, letting Chocolate and Allison in.
"Hi, Vic." The werewolf waved at him, though not as happy as usual.
"The ward is safe," said Alison, who asked her to oversee the safety of his home.
"yes, a bat slipped in." The Chancellor pointed to the bloody splinter on the wall, which little James had already chewed on.
"It must have been in the mansion before I set up the protections." The tree spirit argued. "They may have been watching you longer than I do."
Yes...... Victor uses his [Monster Insight] Pe
k, just in case. This whole unfortunate encounter made him suspicious.
Alliso
lysine
Goddess of the Forest (Plant/Fairy Tale).
Strong resistance: plants, water, elves, disease, life, instant death, paralysis.
Weaker than: Fire, Frost, Flower Killer, Immortal Killer, Lightning, Poison.
A stone-walled man reincarnated from Earth, chosen by Sabrie, the goddess of happiness; This means that you have no excuses. Chocolate Chocolate's best friend, but want to make pastries with the werewolf in the barn, if you know what I mean; Unlike you, she's smart and keeps things simple. Let's go for a melting pot salad!
Good to know. He was afraid to read new information about chocolate, but peeked at it anyway.
Shadowma
Doppelganger (Fairy/Humanoid)
Powerful against fairies, mind control, poisons, hallucinations, paralysis, sleep, and truth detection.
Weaker than Killer, Cold Iron and Silver.
It's your natural killer.
Victor immediately grabbed his scythe. "Ghosts! Alison, follow me!"
"What? The dryad and the werewolf said at the same time. Is the doppelganger hoping to mislead him by feigning confusion?
If so, it didn't deceive his Pe
k and his allies. Kia immediately drew his sword, moving so fast, Victo
She was not even seen stabbing Chocolati with her sword
E's throat. The werewolf let out a scream. "Where's the real one?" The threat of the Kachin Independence Army.
"Why is it so noisy?" A familiar voice came from the room, and another chocolatier walked in. She looked up at her double, exchanged glances with her, and then turned to Victor himself. "Vic, you took my place?"
Victor and everyone in the room winked, and the Prime Minister immediately used his Pe on her
k。
Shadowma
Doppelganger (Fairy/Humanoid)
Powerful against fairies, mind control, poisons, hallucinations, paralysis, sleep, and truth detection.
Weaker than Killer, Cold Iron and Silver.
It's your natural killer.
Damn it.
"Stop!" Victor told Kia. "Somehow they used a spell to reflect the wrong information, and I can't tell which piece is the real chocolate!"
"They're exactly the same." Kia muttered to herself, pushing the first chocolate against the wall with her free arm, and then threatening the second chocolate with her sword. "It's not an illusion. 【Karma Scan】...... They all look very evil! How can they falsify their karma?"
Victor decided not to comment on how her karma scan didn't mislead her.
The charm test is successful! The Shadow Man can't read your mind, and now you know it tried!
Victor looked at the two women suspiciously. One of them, if not two, is certainly an infiltrator. Nightblade must have sent him, as they couldn't get around the guards.
"Vic, it's a liar!" The first chocolate chocolate pleaded. "She's trying to confuse you!"
"Oh, oh, I see!" The second piece of chocolate said with unsettling jolly. "This is a false moment!" I've always wanted to meet one!"
"What do I shout when I use that legendary sword?" Victor asked. A matter of skill.
"King Arthur's Excalibur! Both shouted at the same time.
Victor face-palmed. The doppelganger may not be able to perceive its own thoughts, but it may be able to read the minds of others, including the chocolate itself.
"Oh, I know a way!" Said the Pink Ranger. "We summon two demons!"
"Good idea," Blue nodded. "The person who killed it in the most painful way is obviously the real one!"
"You all think I'm crazy?" The first person asked in frustration.
"Chocolate may kill, but she would never be cruel to do so," Allison noted. "Just to eat. It's pretty much her credo. ”
"I know you'll have my back, Alison!" The second shouted.
"Eat both," said little James hungrily. "Of course."
"Of course! The jelly on his back agreed.
"Vic...... Kia said in a low voice. You call. ”
The minister examined the two women, trying to find out personal information to distinguish the real woman. If he hadn't switched mounts in preparation for the fight with Laflei, he could summon a real mount, but for now......
think, Victor. How they bypassed his Pe
k, after it has successfully penetrated all their natural immunity? Why risk making him unable to distinguish the real from the fake? Unless...... Unless......
The intelligence check was successful.
"None of them are true."
Before he could finish his sentence, it was all over. Kia slashes down two werewolves in the blink of an eye, causing them to fall to the ground.
Allison let out a scream of horror and surprise and put his hands over his mouth. "Vic, what are you doing...... What are you ...... doing?"
Both bodies turned into solid shadows and then collapsed into nothingness.
"They caught the real one," Victor explained, while Alison calmed herself down. "Psychological warfare". A strategy based on his natural acceptance of the rules set in front of him? Very smart, but he learns from the best.
Then the hall went dark, and all the light and fire were extinguished.
The terrain has been temporarily changed to [Dark Underworld].
Nocturnal creatures, demons, and undead have increased stats on the battlefield and will be more difficult to transform. All non-nocturnal animals will suffer from this disease. Mo
otype, non-undead will turn into undead when killed on the battlefield.
All stats increased by one level!
"Light Shield!" Victor heard Kia's cries, and a solid ball of light formed a circular barrier around them. As she did so, a haunting flute echoed through the hall.
"Behind us, Chief!" The kobold rangers formed a circle around Victor, next to little James and his protégés, "Stand back!" We've got a miniature lizard here!"
A wail echoed through the darkness, and six scrawny ghosts crashed into the barrier.
"This edifice ......," Kia said, as the vengeful ghost bounced off the light barrier and vanished as soon as it touched the barrier. How old is it?"
"It's older than a small town," replied Allison, "and when Rollo first started working in the fields, there was a dark wizard living here. It is full of resentment and dark souls. ”
"It's weird because the building looks ...... Gothic?" Kia struggled to find the right words. "It looks straight from the earth."
A place of ghosts and dark resentments?" Wait, wait, wait," Victor said. "Didn't that magician do experiments in the basement or something?"
The Night Blade knows he has a map, and killing him could destabilize the Whisperers, and the manor could be a nightmare laboratory......
Victor searched through one of his hidden armor containers with his free hand, pulling out Mott's map and reading it by the light of the barrier.
It shows Ravi's location right next to him.
his basement.
The ghost's attack stopped, and a new figure approached the light barrier; Victor recognized him as Emil Lavieri, the same vampire he had fought before. "We just need Dalton and the map," he announced. "Give him to us, and we'll let you go."
Kia's reaction was hilarious.
"We may not be able to kill you, Flash Knight, but you can't protect them all." The Assassin replied calmly. "And that's not counting the civilians we will continue to kill as long as he lives."
"Why me?" Victor protested, putting the map back in his armor. "What have I done to you?"
"If you die, this regime collapses," said Emile Lave
e) Noted. "The dragon will go mad, will mismanage his army, and go back to his old ways. You are his emotional backbone, so we are going to take you down. Forever. ”
Warning: The Manor is under the effect of [Soul Trap]!
If you die in its sphere of influence, your soul will be trapped in its focus.
"The point?" Victor thought for a moment, thinking that the others had seen the same message.
"[Solomon's magic book]," Kia explained, "will grab your soul and prevent any form of resurrection as long as it exists." ”
"No resurrection," Emir pulled out his dagger, the others glittering in the darkness. "There is no afterlife. Nothing. ”
Victor knew that his angel insurance was a waste of SP.
