Chapter 653 Reaper In the Kingdom of Night, inside a huge ancient, dilapidated, desolate and silent palace. Lumian poured Gardner Martin's blood into the measuring cylinder, and then threw the small white bone knife that was extremely sharp and gleaming with a cold light into it. During this process, he moved recklessly, not caring at all that his fingers were cut by the bone knife-like Beyonder Characteristics and that blood was flowing out. He simply burned a red flame and used the burning method to shrink the wounds, allowing the white bone knife to be absorbed into the potion without his blood. The pain in his body made Lumian more awake and excited. He then put two teeth of Gardner Martin, the venom of the colorful bearded horned lizard and the essential oil of hornbeam into the bright red blood. Gurgle, gurgle, a lot of bubbles rolled out in the blood, and all the objects just now melted away strangely. Soon, some black iron slag-like substances floated up in the bright red blood, as if an iron weapon was broken in it. Lumian glanced at the still sleeping "Siso" Tewanaco, took the measuring cylinder, and poured the liquid into his mouth. The strong smell of blood, the raw taste of rust, and the burning sensation of fire instantly filled Lumian's mouth and pierced into his brain. He seemed to be in the midst of a chaotic war, constantly being slashed by swords, shot by guns, and attacked by the enemy. Wounds appeared in various parts of his body, and he felt pain.

Raised by sows, is this being attacked by a potion? Lumian was in a trance, fighting against a large number of enemies that were rushing towards him crazily. Fireballs, fire crows, and blazing spears blew up, tore apart, nailed the enemies to the ground, and ignited them into torches. After an unknown amount of time, Lumian felt extremely weak and his spirituality was almost exhausted, but the accumulated energy of the "ascetic monk" had already been released. At this moment, a huge figure appeared in front of him, with a powerful and terrifying aura. As soon as Lumian felt a little weak, he felt the huge figure was filled with fear, resentment, and regret. He is afraid of me... Lumian suddenly had such an epiphany, and he summoned up his remaining courage, condensed a blazing white flaming spear, and threw it at the huge figure with both himself and the spear. A blazing white flame quickly erupted and pierced through the head of the huge figure. Rumble, the huge figure exploded from the inside and broke into countless pieces. Rumble, the entire battlefield collapsed. Lumian suddenly woke up and saw the ancient palace with broken stone bricks, the still sleeping "Siso" Tewanako, and "Hela" standing quietly beside him. Sweat kept dripping from his body, and every drop of sweat burned halfway and turned into red sparks. Towards the end, the sweat gradually returned to normal and became less and less. Huh... Lumian exhaled, and his spirituality began to recover rapidly. He was promoted to Reaper. He completed the ritual of capturing a higher-sequence enemy alive, showing off his conspiracy in front of the enemy, took the potion, and was promoted to Sequence 5 "Reaper" of the "Hunter" path! Compared to the previous sequence, the "Reaper" has three more abilities: The first is "Weakness Detection", which allows Lumian to discover the target's weaknesses and weak points in defense from a mystical perspective. The second is "Harvest", which can be attached to any attack to reap the target's life. Any part of the body injured by "Harvest" is equivalent to an attack on the vital points and weaknesses, and will suffer great damage. If Harvest hits a real weakness or vital point, it may be fatal in one blow. Even if the target has strong defense, it will be difficult for it to withstand three such attacks in a row. This can even cause real damage to demigod-level creatures, but the premise is that the opponent does not block, fails to successfully dodge, and does not use any mystical means to defend. The third is "precision". Lumian can make any attack hit the predetermined location accurately, and accurately control spells such as fireballs and fire crows that have left the body.

He can even split a huge fireball into hundreds of pieces, each of which can hit different targets more accurately, thus achieving effective killing on a large scale. This is very different from a blanket explosion, and is more efficient and effective. Both "Harvest" and "Precision" consume a lot of spiritual energy, no less than Lumian's current use of "Teleport". The only exception is when "Precision" is combined with Fire Crow. This is because Fire Crow itself has the characteristic of being able to allocate a little spirituality and is easy to manipulate. Therefore, even with the addition of "Precision", it does not consume much spirituality. In addition, Lumian felt that his spirituality had improved significantly, his mind was clearer, his vitality was more vigorous, and he could compress the flame to a bright white in a very short time. He can also combine with the flaming spear to quickly fly over distances of dozens or hundreds of meters. If he doesn't consider the consumption of spiritual energy, he can use it to speed up his journey. Lumian's strength, speed, and physique have also improved, but not to the point where he can block bullets with his body. ………… The entrance to the men's restroom at Matani Import and Export Store, with most of it collapsed. A man in silver-white full-body armor ran out with a clang, holding a giant hammer made of condensed light in both hands. It turned half a circle to the left and right, failed to find the target, and gradually "calmed down". Franka emerged from the shadows nearby and glanced at Kolobo in the half-collapsed bathroom. She felt that his life was not in danger, but his injuries were serious and he was quite weak. This will become the target of the "Arrogant Armor"... While the "Arrogant Armor" was still searching for the backstabber and had not chosen another target to attack, Franka quickly moved over, picked up the silver-white full-body armor that had begun to stop, and stuffed it into her "Traveler's Bag". "Go meet Janna!" Franca shouted to Anthony outside the corridor. Then she hid in the shadows and disappeared. ………… Is this the Reaper... If I fight Hisoka now, I won't have to worry about breaking his defenses... My desire to fight and kill seems to have increased... Lumian examined his situation with a little joy. After he adjusted to the changes in his body, he looked at "Hela" standing next to him and said: "Thank you." Hela didn’t think there was anything to be thankful for. Instead, she said with some emotion: “Your teamwork is great.” "Ms. Hela, the ritual was successful, but I want to enter Hisoka's dream again and ask him something else." Lumian made a new request. Hela nodded: "The ritual requires him to stay awake. He may lie, but he doesn't need to be asked." As soon as she finished speaking, Lumian suddenly closed his eyes, fell down softly, and leaned against the broken stone pillar behind him. The corners of his mouth remained raised, and his expression gradually became calm. In the interrogation room in the dream. Lumian sat down opposite "Sisoka" again and said to the captive whose malice and murderous desire were no longer deliberately concealed: "Thanks for your help, I have become a 'reaper'."

"Hisoka" leaned forward suddenly, but forgot that he could attack: "So what if you're called the Reaper? If we fight, I'll kill you just the same! "If you hadn't joined forces with the Hidden Blade and relied on numbers, you would have been dead!" After no longer being awake, he finally spoke his mind in his dream... Lumian laughed: "Why should I fight you one-on-one when I can create an opportunity for more people to beat fewer people? "My companions are also part of my strength." "Siso" said maliciously: “Do you really trust that ‘hypnotist’? "It's very dangerous to let a hypnotist take over your body and mind. Aren't you afraid that he will take advantage of the opportunity to leave some hidden hints and let you be manipulated by him without knowing it?" Lumian stared at "Hisoka" for a few seconds and said with a smile: "This may be the reason why I beat you. No wonder the 'crazy girl' said you are not pure enough. “First, I do trust him, we are companions who have experienced life and death together. "Second, I am willing to take this risk in order to kill you!" Having said that, Lumian straightened up, looked at "Hisoka", and spoke word by word: "Even if I fall into the abyss, even if I sink into hell, I want to see you die wailing!" "Hisoka" was silent for a moment. Lumian sat down again, calmed down, and asked casually: "I know from Demonology that the promotion of a 'Demon' to an 'Apostle of Desire' requires a ritual, preferably a special serial killing ritual. However, apart from the one four years ago, there has only been one recent serial killing in Paros Port, and I have already killed the murderer. How did you get promoted? "By grace? You couldn't have been the 'Apostle of Desire' four years ago, right?" "Siso" smiled: "Just because you don't know doesn't mean you don't have it." Lumian's heart moved: "One of those two pranks was to cover up your promotion ceremony?" He learned about the two pranks from the peripheral members of the "April Fools' Day" group. They didn't know much and only did their part, lacking a grasp of the overall situation. As for the final result, they only knew that the prank in the gold mining city of Davis caused a large amount of gold to disappear, and the prank in the small town of Tizamo caused a conflict between the townspeople there and the people of a primitive tribe, resulting in a tragedy. Lumian suspected that Tizamo's prank was the hidden purpose behind Hisoka's promotion ceremony. "Hisoka" said in a tone of appreciation for the young man: "Very sharp." Lumian thought for a moment and changed the subject: "What's up with that devil from the North family?" He carefully avoided the matters of Tianzun and the "Mother Tree of Desire" for the time being. Hisoka's expression turned grim: “I wanted to use him to gain something, and I performed repeated rituals to please him, but he just established a connection with me and didn’t give me a chance until the year before last.”

That thing... the year before last... the pranks in the gold mining city and Tizamo town happened after that, one at the end of the year before last, and the other at the end of last year... Lumian began to think that those two pranks might have other purposes besides covering up the promotion ceremony. Without waiting for him to ask further, "Hisoka" asked unwillingly and madly: "Why didn't you seek help from the Tarot Club this time?" "Why do you care about this? I was able to kill you without the help of the Tarot Club." Lumian raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion. (End of this chapter)
