Chapter 67 - 67 67 Hunter Female Assassin Sheep_1
?Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Hunter, Female Assassin, Sheep!_1 Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Hunter, Female Assassin, Sheep!_1 At the second one,
Tuck’s arm became transparent and ethereal, and even the Rune Shadow Ring Staff on his right wrist passed through and fell to the ground.
As the absorption finished, Tuck’s arm replenished itself.
The third one.
There was no physical abnormality.
But Tuck found that he could not make any sound whatsoever, including through his mouth and nose, physical actions, or any other means.
Even the sounds from the outside world seemed to vanish at the boundary where Tuck was.
Tuck’s Transcendent Attribute “Communication” seemed to have significantly weakened.
However, as the process completed, the attribute gradually returned.
One after another, he ingested them.
All sorts of peculiar conditions appeared with the ingestion and ended with the complete digestion.
Bizarre transformations of the flesh, inexplicable loss of limbs, decline in communication attributes.
Insightful and strange abstraction of vision, boiling of Origin Energy, and the steel hardening of certain undescribable parts, among others.
With the full absorption of the twelfth Wizard Trait,
Tuck reached the containment limit of a First Rank Wizard at its peak.
“12 Wizard Traits absorbed and fused at once,”
“Normally, that would mean certain death by spontaneous explosion.”
“However, I’ve resolved almost all of those negative Transcendent Characteristics, with virtually no adverse effects, and with Precision Correction safeguarding the process.”
“That’s how I achieved the perfect absorption of 12 Wizard Traits.”
“Now, the strength of my Tree of the Wizard Sequence is completely different from before.”
Sitting cross-legged in his meditation practice spot, Tuck.
Keenly felt the changes after the significant enhancement of the Wizard Traits.
Although the Tree of the Wizard Sequence was still at Level 18, its solidity had surpassed that of most Second Rank Wizard Trees.
“The enhancement of my own Wizard Tree, coupled with the reinforcement of the Iron-coupled wall of the Barrier World and the anchor in the Original Dark Sea.”
“Now, if I were to encounter that aberrant Arthurs from before, it’s not that I could completely ignore his pollution.”
“At least, I could withstand his radioactive pollution and confront the bizarre Dark Sun Candle Flame.”
“Next… that is!”
Tuck looked at the two Wizard Abilities on the Wizard Tree.
[Sheep Transformation] and [Perception].
As the crystallized abilities of the Wizard Tree,
these two Wizard Abilities also became stronger with the enhancement of the Wizard Traits.
“Without any level advancement, the speed of Processing Perception to absorb and digest information has become faster.”
“The upper limit of the Sheep Transformation Level has also increased, roughly by about 3 to 4 levels.”
“Basically, any Transcendent below the Third Rank, without a corresponding exemption, resistance, or sufficient Transcendent constitution, would find it difficult to withstand my Sheep Transformation.”
“Other witchcraft in the Wizard ecology, although the witchcraft itself wasn’t enhanced,”
“Nevertheless, with my greatly strengthened Wizard Traits, all aspects of witchcraft have been somewhat enhanced.”
“Transcendents, consume those of the same Sequence!”
“Consuming other Transcendents’ Sequence Attributes, the enhancement is indeed tremendous.”
Tuck carefully felt the changes, inside and out.
“For me, there are means to eliminate those adverse Transcendent Characteristics.”
“For other Transcendents, there are no methods to resolve the bewildering Transcendent Characteristics within the same Sequence.”
“Even top-notch Alchemy Masters can’t do what I do.”
“Not to mention the minor details, whether they are able to perceive them.”
“Even if they can perceive them, they may not necessarily be able to resolve them.”
“And I can perfectly solve them with the SSS Level Correction Attribute.”
“This path of alchemic purification of Transcendent Sequence Attributes is indeed a fine way to prosper.”
Tuck silently reflected.
“Caw caw…”
Just at that moment, a faint cry of an Undead Crow came from outside the window.
Tuck glanced outside and then slowly straightened up.
At the same time, his fingers inside his Wizard’s Robe subtly began to fiddle.
“The preparations are almost complete, next is to resonate with and attune to the Steam Core.”
“This will require a considerable amount of time, after all, I do not have guidance from a Steam Tower like Hilor, nor the protection of an altar like Arthurs.”
“I need to slowly harmonize with the Steam Core, and ultimately complete the absorption. Although time-consuming, the benefit is that once absorption is complete, I will be able to perfectly wield the strength of a Steam Wizard.”
“This cautious method suits me well.”
Although the cashmere padding of the meditation seat was quite soft,
after a long time, Tuck’s legs still felt somewhat numb.
“I’m not one of those Melee Wizards with strong physical strength.”
“The physical body’s strength and liveliness can’t maintain an action for a long time while still preserving a lively combat capability.”
“Hmm… When I advance to a second rank, I’ll have to choose better life materials.”
“That way, I won’t end up in a situation where, when an enemy reaches my back, I become incapacitated and surrender because of numb legs.”
Just as Tuck was about to get up.
A cold and crisp female voice sounded from behind Tuck.
“Don’t move!”
At the same time, a sharp gleam of cold light pressed against the back of Tuck’s neck.
Should Tuck make any move, that blade as sharp as the cold moon would separate his body from his head at an extremely delicate angle.
A faint smell of blood mixed with the scents of the Dark Sun, the wilderness, and the night lingered at Tuck’s nostrils.
Tuck sniffed out a lot of information.
Fierce by nature, skilled in combat under darkness, wielding a certain power of the Dark Sun, and most importantly, ruthless—all evident from the dagger, under which many had lost their lives.
With his life under someone else’s control, Tuck calmly asked.
“Your accent isn’t local, and you’re different from those out-of-towners who are all about intonation and putting on airs, preferring to wallow in their sense of superiority.”
“Did you come from Ashen Land deep within the wilderness?”
The response to Tuck was a slight forward press of the dagger.
If Tuck’s skin hadn’t been somewhat tougher than that of an ordinary first-rank Wizard, this light press would have drawn blood.
“Alright!”
“If you don’t wish to answer, let it be.”
Tuck smiled.
“Oh! Right, I forgot to remind you.”
“When you bypassed my shield using your infiltration ability, you should have thought that I might also bypass your shadow shield and affect you, right?”
Tuck’s words made the female assassin tense.
Tuck moved.
The female assassin from the Ashen Wilderness behind Tuck also moved.
But the next moment, her face drastically changed.
Because she couldn’t move anymore.
“What did he do to me?”
“When did this Wizard cast a spell?”
Confusion and terror flickered in her eyes.
The female assassin from the Ashen Wilderness shrank rapidly, eventually turning into a white sheep from the Black Galan plateau mountain range.
“Baa Baa…”
Amidst the bleating, there was panic and despair, along with a helpless struggle.
“Hmm! She’s quite good-looking; Taniru should like her.”
“Well, I hope that guy hasn’t been taken out yet.”
Tuck leisurely pulled out a rope, tied up the female assassin·sheep, and walked outside.
Tuck had already sensed the female assassin using “Infiltration” to enter his house.
Having just greatly enhanced his Wizard Sequence attributes, Tuck simply conducted a small experiment.
[Sheep Transformation] four steps.
Envelopment, Infiltration, Suppression, Transformation.
Tuck used “Envelopment” to construct traps around him.
“Infiltration,” guided with precision, could perfectly penetrate the prey’s body.
As the Hunter cautiously approached the prey,
Little did she know that she was stepping into a trap, one step at a time.
And the final result was very satisfying to Tuck.
At least this Level 25 female Hunter, from the Ashen Wilderness, bold yet meticulous, unwittingly walked into the trap.
Of course, Tuck had more means of saving his life than just that; even if the Sheep Transformation had not worked, his other contingencies were more than enough to deal with the female assassin from the Night Wilderness.
Arriving at the second-floor hall, Tuck looked towards Taniru’s dwelling.
It was calm and natural inside.
It seemed entirely untouched by any disturbance.
But when Tuck observed carefully, he found his Precision Vision slightly interfered with.
A few but significant pieces of information scattered into his view, giving Tuck food for thought.
“Making Taniru bear the brunt of the few big troubles has indeed made him a prime target, and his life has become valuable.”
“Those guys didn’t kill him right away.”
“Interesting!”
With these thoughts, Tuck’s gaze fell on the female assassin·sheep beside him.
“Might as well prepare them a big surprise while there’s time.”
After searching the female assassin·sheep up and down to prepare,
Tuck stood up, leading the female assassin·sheep, and entered through the door.
