Chapter 497 – 496. ha, take it, eat my ‘Great Move of Time’!
Astral summoners don’t just choose “Astral Guardian” to find themselves a “big daddy” in the astral realm, in most cases, this kind of contract with demigods is signed in order to pursue a higher level of power.
The signing of a contract means that both the feedback of power and the shackles are added at the same time, but generally speaking, the summoner can gain more from it than he or she pays for it, which is also the main reason why this ritual has been passed down.
No one wants to make a losing deal.
However, other summoners only performed the ritual of the Astral Guardian at the Silver or Gold rank, and the power a summoner could get from the Astral Guardian would be greater and safer when they were strong in their own right.
Few people would choose to perform this ritual at the Black Iron rank, mainly because a Black Iron rank summoner really has little honor in front of the demigods, and even if the contract succeeds, the power the demigods are willing to give is pitifully small.
After all, it’s so weak, you can’t afford to give more.
From this point of view, Murphy is undoubtedly an exception.
He not only successfully completed the ceremony, and from the whole viewpoint, Murphy seems to be in the position of holding the “initiative”, basically equal to the endless Mannis rushed to send warmth.
But considering Mannis’ poor current situation and its ambition to become a god, it is not surprising that the cunning snake could make this choice.
After the contract was signed and the ceremony was over, Murphy returned to his office under the escort of Tris, who didn’t allow him to touch other people or allow other people to get close to Murphy, which wasn’t a kind of punishment but a kind of protection.
Three strands of gray hair had appeared on either side of Murphy’s temples, and the first wrinkles appeared on his forehead.
But he was an ageless vampire!
Which meant the situation was rapidly spiraling out of control.
Mannis’s time power feedback on the vampire had already caused him trouble, in this case, if Murphy didn’t intend to turn himself into a “vampire grandpa” tomorrow morning, he had to complete the initial understanding and use of the power of the demigods within this night.
This is not difficult.
Because Mannis didn’t intend to harm him, the power that Murphy was fed back could be completely controlled by him.
“I’ll be at the door, so hurry up and yell for me if something happens.”
Trixie looked worriedly at Murphy’s current state as she whispered:
“My Transcendent Laws are also related to time, of course I’m definitely not as good as Mannis the Endless in terms of power understanding, but if things are really bad beyond measure, I can use Time Suspension to seal you up temporarily.”
“That won’t be necessary Tris, don’t worry, it’s just an outward sign of a power disorder, I’ll take care of it soon enough.”
Murphy returned.
But in the reflection of Tris’s eyes, he saw that more wrinkles had appeared on his face, and that he was “evolving” from a young man to a yuppie uncle.
Although Tris obviously preferred this kind of old posture, but Murphy did not intend to let his small players to see their own jokes, so he consoled a few words Tris, then closed his eyes and began to adjust his own state.
The translucent character card was still pulsing in his closed-eye field of vision, and on it was a very dutiful record of the entire process of Murphy’s power interaction with Mannis just now:
“Star Guardian has been selected! Occupation changed as follows:
I. The vice profession “Astral Summoner” has been changed to “Astral Summoner – Articulated Serpent Faction”, and a new talent has been acquired [Summoner – Serpent and Dragon Specialization: The success rate of summoning serpent-type or dragon-type creatures from the Astral Plane has been increased dramatically].
[Endless One] Mannis will become your symbol and patron in the Astral Realm! When you enter the Astral Plane you will not be immediately lost, but will have the option of teleporting to the area where Mannis is located and receiving its protection.
II. You have your own Star Realm Dowsing Marker!
Your existential nature can now be actively sensed by the creatures of the Astral Plane, and when performing Summoning Spell operations, there will be a certain probability of attracting the mysterious Astral Plane creatures.
The attitude of the astral creatures attracted to you will change depending on the reputation of your astral guardian in the astral realm.
Currently Mannis the Endless’s reputation in the Astral Realm is: [Infamous].
Astral creatures that are actively attracted to you due to the Star Realm Waymarker have a high probability of being hostile, a small probability of being neutral, and a very small probability of being friendly towards you.
iii. You gain the special status [Soul Heavy Pressure]:
Because Mannis the Endless’s power rank is much higher than yours, after completing the summoning contract with Mannis, your summoning slot is completely squeezed, and you will not be able to summon any other astral creatures other than ‘George the Astral Wolf’ for a long time until your power rank is further increased.
The Special Summon – Blood Eating Spirit Vulture Reverno is not disturbed by this state.
As a result of Mannis the Infinite’s contractual status and power sharing with you, your summons ‘George the Astral Wolf’ and ‘Reverno the Blood Eater Vulture’ have been power-enhanced.
They acquire new talents as:
[Superior Stamina: Stamina is increased by 10%, base life value is increased by 100%, and life recovery speed is increased by 30%.]
[Regenerative Scale Armor: Physical Defense increased by a large amount, Psychic Defense increased by a small amount.]
[Demigod Beast Pack: Gain the ‘Beast Intimidation’ and ‘Fear Aura’ skills.]
[Despise of the Endless One: Being mocked by the Endless One for being weak, causing the summon to vow to wipe out its former shame, and the summon’s aggressiveness and perception increases dramatically.]
Your summon ‘George the Star World Wolf’ breaks through the power boundary and grows into ‘George the Star World Head Wolf’.
Its status in the Star Realm Wolf Pack has been elevated, and it acquires the qualifications to form a wolf pack.
Your summon, ‘Star Realm Head Wolf George’, is loathed by ‘Silver Wolf Hellsong’ because it is tainted with the scent of the Endless One.
It was expelled from the pack it was in becoming a lone wolf.
Your summon ‘George the Star Realm Head Wolf’ has earned the new nickname [Star Realm Lone Wolf].
Your summoned object ‘George, the Lone Wolf of the Star Realm’ is being hunted by the wolf pack of ‘Silver Wolf Hellsong’, please summon it to the material world as soon as possible to avoid its permanent death.”
“Ah, you poor unlucky bastard!”
Murphy spat viciously and immediately activated the summoning to summon his poor George, who was implicated by the Endless One, to the material world.
This time, the summoning also utilized the Manifestation Device, because he had to summon George’s main body in a very precise manner, otherwise that guy would definitely be bitten to death by the wolves.
With a flash of light, a huge star world head wolf covered in blood in a mournful cry crashed into Murphy’s office in a tumbling position, crashing headfirst into the wall sending the mural and the wooden shelf next to it crashing down, and the whole office was in a state of disarray.
George was already limping, even one of his eyes had been scratched and blinded, and his otherwise beautiful fur was bruised everywhere.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the guy had just gotten a rank advancement, this wave of attacks would have been enough to fuck it up.
A huge wolf with a shimmering silver shimmering light even arrogantly jumped after it as the Star Realm Rift opened, growling and viciously attempting to kill George by locking his throat, but it ran so fast that it didn’t even notice that the pack behind it was already disconnected.
A flash of black light lit up before his eyes the instant the damn thing jumped into the material world, and Necessary Evil came roaring in with Murphy’s fury.
There was a whoosh of blood.
The giant wolf that came after him had his throat sealed by a single blow from the supremely sharp magic sword, and his entire torso tumbled and smashed against the wall of Murphy’s office.
But it actually didn’t die yet.
This beast was obviously a dependent of the ‘Silver Wolf Hellsong’, possessing a life force stronger than that of an ordinary Astral World Wolf, but the Astral World Rift opened by the Manifestation Device had already been shut down, and the end of its reckless jump into the material world was that it would never be able to return to its wolf pack again.
It is struggling to try to get up, but perceived Murphy’s breath of George came to the courage, in a one-on-one situation this has been pushed by the guy does not bring the fear, dragging the blood-stained miserable body wailed pounced on, three or two times to beat the huge wolf clad in silver light wailed straight.
Obviously, the endless person to give it strengthened so that the lone wolf George instantly salted fish turn over la.
“Hit! Hit hard! Bite this arrogant dog to death! I’m going to use its head to decorate my office, and then skin it to make a coat for Tris.”
An enraged Murphy shouted the kill order with Necessary Evil in hand.
He hadn’t had any special feelings for the Starsector demigods, but seeing George hurt like this by the wolves of the narrow-minded Hellsong lit a fire in the vampire lord’s heart.
You have a fucking grudge against the Endless One so you go to Mannis for revenge, and you can’t beat the Serpent of Time so you come to bully its pathetic little follower?
Is this the way you Star Realm Demigods do things?
I’ll be damned!
What garbage!
How can you call yourself the heir of the God of the North Wind?
If Sue, who is known for her violence and bravery, knew about this, she’d be ashamed of herself. The noisy movement in the office immediately attracted the attention of the outside, Tris pushed the door in just in time to see the scene of George biting the silver giant wolf to death, which made Tris face changed greatly, she exclaimed:
“This is the Son of Hellsong? The Mother of Midnight is above! How did you kill it? The jealous silver wolf is going to go completely mad now.”
“Then let it come!”
Murphy said coldly without a care in the world:
“It’s not missing it, come if you have the guts to come to the Material Realm, I as the Exhibition Hall Director might also have the need to show my majesty, just so I can test Su’s attitude towards us.”
“Uh, you don’t have to worry about that, the God of the North Wind has many heirs, Silver Wolf is just the most famous one, but she’s not Su’s favorite child.”
Tris sighed as she stepped forward to support Murphy:
“Sue loathes Silver Wolf’s hypocrisy and jealousy, she even disallowed the Winter Wolf Church to place a statue of Silver Wolf Hellsong, the poor father-daughter relationship is evident.”
“Ha, then I’m even less afraid.”
Murphy sat on a chair and beckoned to the limping George, who limped to Murphy’s feet with a mournful cry, and lay down on his back and began to lick his wounds as he always did.
The horrible scar that remained over its left eye was an almost incurable wound, and the three wolf claws that had gone through George’s face had almost clawed its head off.
But this posture of a bloodthirsty wolf made Murphy feel unexpectedly satisfied.
He raised his hand and drew out as much blood as he could from the still convulsing son of the silver wolf’s body, and used the vampire’s life force transfer to infuse it into George, which made this poor bastard who had been expelled from the wolf’s honor and beaten up severely by his former brother feel comfortable, and then fell into a deep sleep.
“Maxim just got back.”
Tris said softly to Murphy:
“He’s waiting for you in the parlor, says he wants to brief you on the army buildup.”
“Well, tell my loyal servant to wait a moment, I’m still familiarizing myself with Mannis’ power.”
Murphy waved his hand, Tris glanced at the growing frown on Murphy’s face, she didn’t rush to add pressure to Murphy but closed the door and left.
After rescuing George, Murphy continued to watch the record of the character card, in addition to the reinforcement of the Astral Summoner profession, the power feedback brought by Mannis the Endless added three skills to him:
“New Skill Acquisition I – Celestial Realm Acceleration I:
Mobilizing the power of the Endless One grants a [Heavenly Acceleration] state to himself or others, under this state movement speed increases by 500%, attack speed increases by 200%, dodge rate increases by 50%, perception and dexterity attributes +10 and immunity to disarming the vast majority of control type effects.
The duration of this status is 15 seconds.
The cooldown time of this skill is 6 hours.
This skill can co-exist with [Astral Retardation].
New Skill Acquisition II – Astral Retardation I:
Mobilizes the power of the Endless One to inflict the [Astral Retardation] state on the enemy, which reduces Movement Speed to 0, Attack Speed by 100%, Dodge Rate by 50%, Perception, Dexterity -10 and grants the [Blind Retardation] control effect.
The duration of this state is 30 seconds.
The cooldown of this skill is 6 hours.
This skill can co-exist with [Celestial Acceleration].”
These two new skills were nothing to write home about, they were just the most basic mobilization of Mannis’s power of time, the effect was crude but simple and practical, paired with the skill enhancement effect brought about by Murphy’s current elite template, it could make the probability of the two skills being exempted much lower.
This means that Murphy finally has a small burst and strong control that is “absolutely effective” in his hands.
This makes Murphy’s physical attack-oriented guy like a tiger with wings, which can be said to be a happy and congratulatory ah!
However, the third skill made Murphy a bit confused:
“New Skill Acquisition III-Time Exile:
Mobilizes the power of the Endless One to inflict a [Time Exile] state on an enemy, forcing it to change its relative coordinates in the river of time and maintaining the state until the user’s energy is exhausted.
The success rate of this skill depends on the strength gap between the two sides.
The success rate is 100% for lower ranks, 80% for the same rank, and -20% for every rank the enemy is above the user.
The skill has a cooldown time of 12 hours and needs to wait for the user to be energized before it can be used again.”
“What do you mean by ‘changing its relative coordinates in the long river of time’?”
Murphy was dissatisfied with the skill description, it was too vague ah.
He guessed that it should be a control-type skill, maybe the effect was like Kaiser’s Banishing Technique, he had the intention to try it out, so he made the request for a cut when he traveled to the parlor to meet Maxim.
However, Maxim was taken aback when he saw Murphy’s face which was already dying at this time, and the loyal servant almost cried out, wasn’t he just practicing for a month in the dark baron’s territory?
How did this Lord Murphy age like this all of a sudden?
Could it be that he has been secretly calculated?
Sure enough!
Without himself by his side to escort him, Lord Murphy would always be in such and such a situation.
Loyal Maxim immediately said that he would resign from his position as a general of the People’s Army and focus on defending Lord Murphy’s safety, only to be severely despised by Murphy.
He said that you a white hair immersed in the state of talking about messy love with the moon elf vampire, actually dare to say that you have enough power to protect this lord?
Hey, this lord now has a Star Realm Demigod as backup.
“I’m fine, I’m just a bit ‘off my rocker’.”
Murphy stroked the white beard that had grown on his chin as he reached out and drew his staff sword, telling Maxim:
“As soon as I master this power I will return to my previous state, and the best way for a warrior like us to master power is to use it! Come! Mark, let’s see if you’ve been slacking off this month.
Or have you been drained by Ms. Laneia .”
“Please be sure not to say that! Master Murphy.”
Maxim said righteously:
“Leonia and I are purely friends.”
“Alas, I knew that your character would never be able to handle a moon elf who is as proud as a swan.”
Murphy sighed, the moment Maxim drew his sword an Astral Realm Retardation slammed over, at the same time activating Celestial Realm Acceleration to throw on himself, the contrast between one fast and one slow was stretched to a lethal level under the imposition of the two spells.
While Maxim was restricted to slow motion and turtle crawling, he himself transformed into “Lightning” and attacked with a speed that could not be captured at all.
After only three seconds, Murphy was back in his original position.
In his handsome return to the sword in the gaze, just before the eyes put up a defensive posture of Maxim body as “burst armor” like bang bang explosion, full armor was Murphy all removed, if just now is a life and death battle, three seconds has been enough to take away Maxim’s life.
“Not bad, I like these new skills, like a tiger with wings!”
Murphy was still accelerating, he moved his shoulders and decided to try the third skill.
Looking at Mark, who was still being slowed down in front of him, Murphy shrugged his shoulders and said to himself that he would dedicate this shot of skill as a gift to Mark’s love, and in a whoosh like a flash of piercing, he lifted his finger to make contact with Maxim’s forehead.
[Time Exile], activated!
In the next second, in the eyes of Murphy and Maxim, the white-haired loyal servant’s body shape rapidly changed and distorted in the chaotic light of time, Murphy looked at the pile of clothes lying at his feet, the wailing “white-haired baby”, and then he looked at his own finger that still had the light of time, and realized in a moment of clarity.
Shit!
So this is the true meaning of changing its relative coordinates in the river of time?
You directly say “rejuvenation” is not enough?
The Endless One really didn’t lie, even though it was already so weak that it was reduced to the level of “the shame of the demigods”, the power that it gave to Murphy was a bit awesome.
Tch, a little bit of bullish ow.
“Ah, my Mark, the state you were in when you were born was really cute.”
Murphy bent down to hold the baby state Maxim in his arms as he grinned:
“Who would have thought that the white-haired bruiser could be so angelic as a child . Ughhhhhh! I command you to control your bladder! My faithful servant! This is so rude!”
