Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 381: 0381: Mysterious Sage (Fourth request for monthly tickets)

The Cursed Spirit is a spreader of fear, cast by high-ranking demon professionals or even Abyss Demons.

They kill according to certain rules, they are immortal, bringing nothing but despair to the world.

Upon hearing the Captain’s curse, the Headless Demon remained unaffected, its axe falling.

Ding!

In the Captain’s despairing gaze, the axe struck a silver card that had suddenly materialized.

Behind the card was a hand; countless chains emerged from the arm and bound the Headless Demon in a web-like pattern.

The sound of deep, incoherent spells came forth.

The next moment, the Headless Demon let out an inhuman roar, distorted and disappeared into a silvery whirlpool.

The Captain looked on numbly at this scene.

He saw the Headless Demon being distorted, bit by bit entering the swirling, starting with the axe, then the arm, the shoulder, the head, the waist…

Eventually, the Cursed Spirit vanished completely, leaving only a silver card hanging in the air.

The hand parted a curtain of void, and a figure stepped out.

“Success!”

Su Lu looked at the Seal Card in his hand, its surface now bearing the terrifying shadow of a figure holding an axe.

[Seal Card – Headless Demon]

[Item Introduction: This is a Seal Card made by a ‘Wandering Mage’, it has sealed within a powerful cursed spirit, those of the same path can use the power that belongs to the Headless Demon!]

[Note: Once used by a low-level occupational person, there is a chance it could break the seal and possess them!]

[Rank: 5]

“Sir… are you the support sent by the bureau?”

The Captain, eyes brimming with tears, struggled to his feet to look at the young man before him.

The other person was young, but his black eyes were like vortexes, involuntarily drawing people’s spirits in.

‘Fifth Level… Legend!’

The Captain had already made up his mind.

“No, I’m just… an interest-driven hero!” Su Lu waved his hand and his figure gradually disappeared.

“Interest-driven hero?”

The remaining Captain was baffled, looking at the bodies in the pool of blood, his expression turned sorrowful again.

“One down, one more target!”

In the Spirit World, Su Lu looked at the sealing card in his hand, his eyes contemplative.

He had shown himself just now, not to show off, but to leave a record of his features, proving that he had dealt with this incident!

As for the interest-driven hero, it was just nonsense he had made up.

“The strength of the [Wandering Mage] mainly depends on the sealed Cursed Spirit, this is the fastest way to increase strength… it can also be achieved by traversing different worlds, but this is a bit more troublesome.”

Su Lu thought of the contact, the Cloaked Man.

The latter was highly suspected as a fifth-rank member of the Ancient Snake Society who had invited him to meet.

To reach the sixth rank of [Wandering Mage], he really had to go of course, as he could control the Spirit World’s traversal and would not likely be caught.

The acquisition of the Headless Demon card significantly increased his combat power.

‘Although there’s the Evil Spirit Knight, I dare not use it openly…’

Su Lu sighed, his figure disappearing once more.

A dozen or so days later.

On a desolate island on the east coast.

The figure of Su Lu slowly materialized.

Clap, clap!

The sound of clapping came.

A figure in a black robe appeared slowly, his voice husky and dry, “Spirit World traversal, truly the strongest teleportation ability in legend! Coupled with the Void Stone and Spirit Ink, you are a [Wandering Mage], aren’t you? It’s surprising. The occupation that hasn’t appeared in our Ancient Snake Society for a long time have reappeared outside.”

“Indeed, you are from the Ancient Snake Society!”

Su Lu said solemnly, “Which of the thirteen elders of the Ancient Snake Society are you?”

“I am Black Kos, the Elder of Light and Shadow of our Society.”

The figure in the black robe slowly took off his hood, revealing a face Su Lu found impressively familiar.

“Black Kos?”

Su Lu’s pupils shrunk, “The wanted federal offender, the villain who attacked the Green Tree Castle? You’re actually alive? You dared to contact me, don’t you know that the Green Tree Castle and the Ancient Snake Society are mortal enemies?”

“Though you are with the Green Tree Castle, as far as we know, you have only recently joined…” Black Kos smiled, “The one who chased me down had greatly underestimated the abilities of the [Phantom Demon]. What do you think about this body of mine? Real or fake?”

As he spoke, more than a dozen figures in black robes appeared, their presences all undeniably real. “The magic of light and shadow has reached a level where it can easily create perfect illusions.”

Even Su Lu had to admit that, as a veteran legendary occupational person, even though he could defeat his opponent now, he had no certainty of killing him.

So, even though he decided to avenge the Nia City tragedy, he still hid his hatred.

And due to his perfect control of his spirit, there was no trace shown.

“So… why did you invite me here?”

Su Lu asked calmly.

“Of course, to join us! You’re originally a follower of the Great Serpent, otherwise how could you have became a [Wandering Mage]?” said Black Kos.

“Follower of the Great Serpent?”

Su Lu sneered in his heart, his legacy came from the ancient ruins discovered by Kira Gales. The main reason he could have been able to advance was due to his attribute bar. What had it got to do with the Great Serpent Demon?

“You shouldn’t be like this…” Seeing his dismissive attitude, Black Kos’s face turned cold, “The ancient great serpent is the supreme, the indescribable… He controls everything! Even destiny cannot escape it!”

“Enough of this preaching, I’m very happy in the Green Tree Castle, and I have no intention of joining other forces, especially yours,” Su Lu shook his head.

“It’s just because you don’t know how powerful our Ancient Snake Society is… With the arrival of the Dawn of the Gods, many ancient entities are gradually waking up and returning…”

Black Kos said, “Last time, we lost a Moron, but we retaliated quickly, and another elder has advanced, our strength has not only recovered, but it’s more powerful than before!”

‘An elder has advanced?’

Su Lu was struck by inspiration and seemed to return to Bukadi’s memory. Hearing the hissing sound, he asked, “Is it the ‘Mysterious Elder’ Bukadi?”

That guy wanted to pollute him with demon projection. Thankfully, he was fast enough.

But then, the other person should have been ‘polluted’ too. For demon followers, this is an overwhelming honor.

“Yes, you’re well informed.”

Black Kos was somewhat surprised, “Being blessed by the Great Old Serpent, Elder Bukadi has broken through the limit of the historical [Mysterious Master] and became the fifth-rank [Mysterious Sage], breaking new ground.”

The profession of [Mysterious Master] originally only had four ranks.

But Su Lu had no doubt about Bukadi breaking into the fifth rank and becoming a [Mysterious Sage].

The existence of demons could make all impossibilities possible.

For that great existence, giving a fifth-rank profession was nothing at all.
