Arthur asked Wuni to quietly return to No. 2 Kirk Street without any hurry.

The young 'psychic medium' who habitually keeps one hand has planted another 'spy' in the dock area.

His Death Hound, Kulich.

Intelligent, loyal, and exceptionally capable, Kulich will inevitably bring back everything he wants to know.

Therefore, Arthur, who was standing at the bottom of the pit, looked around intently—

It's different from what Arthur thought before.

The bottom of the pit in front of you is not a hidden place that was completely excavated by Holden, and there are traces of digging that belong to the miners of Southtown.

In addition to the unique wooden bracket and the hook of the oil lamp every 3 meters, which proved Arthur's guess, it was ...... A miner's corpse is gone.

'Lisop used the original pit as its origin, digging around Southtown, exploring the mineral content of its own, and this is an abandoned exploration pit......

No!

At least, Your Excellency has made good use of it! ’

Arthur's gaze swept over the corpses.

Each corpse was broken bones and tendons after being hit by a heavy object.

Obviously, these are the victims of the mining disaster.

The mineral-owned town of South attracts a large number of outsiders, even those who went bankrupt in South Los chose it as a place to stay.

Such a person, generally no one really cares about the final destination.

As for what you care about?

After losing some money, I don't care.

It's not that life can be measured by money.

It's that the living are always swayed by money.

Of course, there are also those who are not swayed.

Arthur looked at some of the corpses that were clearly not dressed as miners, and remained silent.

Arthur looked back at the ritual side of the 'Ritual of Resentment'.

Horton didn't pick this place for nothing.

The other party is using the resentment of those who died in vain to initiate the 'Ritual of Resentment', and then, with this resentment, attracts more dead qi to complete the entire ritual.

The young 'medium' clasped his hands together and whispered -

"Rest in peace."

The voice is soft and sincere.

This is not a bluff, but a sincere wish.

Because after that......

'Devour'.

As a vested interest, Arthur believes that he should have some attitude and not turn a blind eye.

Of course, it's better to do something more than attitude.

Thinking in his heart, Arthur let go of the suppressed [Breath of Death].

Suddenly, the long whale sucked the river!

Rich and pure dead air poured into Arthur's body, this time in addition to the due storage of dead air, those most essential parts merged into Arthur's flowing blood, rushed to the heart, and then flowed to all parts of the body with the beating of the heart, as if the cycle seemed to be, the illusory serpent appeared in front of Arthur's eyes.

The serpent moved at Arthur's will.

When Arthur was happy, the serpent shook his head and tail.

When Arthur was angry, the serpent hissed.

When Arthur grieves, the serpent is gloomy.

Arthur's every move is affecting the big snake.

Because—

This serpent was originally Arthur himself.

In a trance, Arthur confirmed this guess.

And at the moment when Arthur confirmed this guess, the illusory serpent began to absorb the purest power of death, and its body became real and swelled again.

Five hundred meters!

A thousand meters!

Fifteen hundred meters!

When the snake's body grows to 3,000 meters, this growth stops.

A powerful feeling permeated Arthur's heart.

It made him feel extremely happy.

That is the purest form of happiness.

And the text is describing this happiness -

【'Serpent of Death. Thin. Crippled 'promoted to 'Serpent of Death, Crippled']

Remnant: The ancient retrospective allows you to have the qualification to step on the 'Ascending God Steps', and through the influence of your talent 'Death Breath', your bloodline has become rich, which makes it easier for you to step on the 'Ascending God Steps' - death and snakes are entwined in parallel, death chases the tail of the snake, and the snake chases the revelation of death.

(Note 7: The ritual 'Cat's Orange', under the harmony of your talents, does not conflict with your bloodline, but complements each other)

……

The word 'thin' in the bloodline, which Arthur cared about very much, completely disappeared with the 'devouring' of the 'Ritual of Resentment'.

The Snake of Death that has become the norm. The remnant bloodline brought Arthur a comprehensive strengthening.

Attack, defend, hide.

This feeling of going hand in hand made the corners of Arthur's mouth upturn.

Especially when he found that he was immune to a single high-explosive grenade explosion even naked, the anxiety that existed in Arthur's heart, who was extremely insecure, calmed down a lot.

As for the normalization of the +12 defense level against Thunder, let go of the body limit and limit the additional +24 defense level?

Arthur: Emmm.

He swore he didn't mean to.

Who knows why his bloodline is always on the defensive against Thunder.

He doesn't want to!

I really don't want to!

Don't get me wrong, Count of South Los!

I'm definitely not targeting you!

I mean......

'Project Shadow Count has gone one step further!

Alas, Horton is such a nice man! ’

The young 'psychic' felt the changes in himself and spoke highly of the member of the 'Death Poets Society'.

Even if the other party was killed by him and there are no bones left, this does not prevent Arthur from thanking the other party.

And......

A rethinking of the 'Dead Poets Society'.

In the past, Arthur planned to use the identity of the 'Son of Death' to give himself an extra layer of protection.

And now?

It seems that it could be put to good use.

Maybe you can replenish your bloodline and promote your talent.

Of course, the original plan of 'swordsmanship' cannot be forgotten.

Not now, though.

Right now?

Touching the head of the dog that appeared in the shadows, Arthur communicated with his hound, and a deep groan appeared in his eyes-

''Dead Poets Society' left lead singing?

Actually coming to South Los?!

In this way, the Dead Poets Society cared far more about Holden than estimated.

Then I can naturally add some chips to myself! ’

Thinking of this, Arthur leaped forward.
