High Above

Ian walks faster when alone than when leading a group.

The fortified city, the goblins and the dead king... who can add the power of the triple inheritance?

At this moment, the power he displayed far exceeded everyone's imagination. The defense and attack of the Rockcast Knight, the agility and agility of the goblin, and the terrifying lethality of the Dead King made all the phantoms and monsters who tried to stop him All reduced to ashes.

Every time Ian steps forward, ring-shaped frost novae will spread in all directions. Weak phantoms will be directly destroyed, and those with slightly stronger strength will be frozen in place, and then be killed by his sword.

The power of the dead souls is concentrated in his eyes, allowing him to directly see the veins of the subspace, just like there is a map of a maze, and he can choose his own route of action at will.

And with the blessing of the prophet, Ian simply walked straight towards his goal.

The experimental center of Sorin's Grand Duke's researchers is also the place where he predicted the final battle.

Along the way, there were more and more powerful phantoms, and the army of phantoms like a tide came towards him one after another, seeming to want to consume his strength and hinder his pace - Ian could see that these phantoms seemed to have sanity. They stood firmly in front of Ian, like warriors blocking the progress of the devil.

——You cannot be allowed to influence our dead king to carry out divine revenge!

Such a belief can be vaguely heard in the hearts of these phantoms.

He didn't care about that. Everyone has their own beliefs and positions. Ian never felt that he could be recognized by everyone, but no matter what, he did what he chose.

Ian swung the sword with his right hand, turning the dead ice into a crescent-like arc of light, killing all the phantoms of these 'warriors', and raised his left hand to condense the source matter into a shield, blocking countless incoming arrows. arrow.

His pace cannot be stopped, like a rock standing in the tide. All the phantoms attacking him are like some kind of inferior illusion, and they will even turn into ashes at a glance.

Ian thought that this pace of swimming against the current would last for a long time until he reached his destination.

However, he suddenly heard a quiet voice.

【Let him come over】

This voice contained the same power as in Ian's body. The original dead king gave the order, so all the phantoms stopped their movements.

They stared at Ian, then stepped back.

A path was open to him.

Ian raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. As the dead king who originally held power for the longest time, the other party seemed to be able to grasp some of the power of this subspace composed of the wails of countless victims - at least he It is impossible to shout from a distance in the subspace maze.

In a sense, is this also a kind of 'Lord of the Labyrinth'?

Perhaps so, he wasn't very interested in the dead king's order asking the phantom to stop attacking. As of now, even the second-level beasts and phantoms are nothing more than a casual sword attack.

I believe that the other party also saw this, so he allowed himself to pass as he pleased.

And just as he was approaching the finish line, Ian felt it again.

A strong 'emotion' calls for the power of 'retrospective horizon'.

Another person's life.

[I am the illegitimate son of a nobleman. My birth was an accident. I was a disgrace from the beginning because I could not inherit the bloodline. I even needed to be 'exterminated'. However, my father was not a purely evil person in the final analysis. He told the family elders that Hiding my existence, but never admitting my identity]

[My mother ran a small jewelry store, and her profits and losses were very high. She and her parents broke up because of me. Without the occasional support from my father, I might not have been able to grow up.]

[So I actually don’t hate him. Although these son-of-a-bitch nobles think they won’t have children with ordinary people and always don’t use contraception, at least it’s not a bad thing if I can be born]

[My mother always believed that I could become something useful. She secretly saved a lot of money and hoped that I could become a bachelor, preferably a bachelor in alchemy. In this way, if I make money in the future, I might be able to become an Ascended One. Come, I can be recognized by my father's side of the family - although it is impossible to become a direct line, it is very possible to become a side branch]

[This is how many side branches of big families come... After all, if you can become an ascendant, then the nobles would be happy to admit them as a side branch]

[That is the easiest and fastest way for me to change my future and my destiny, and I have always worked hard in this regard]

This was a man's voice that was somewhat hoarse but sounded quite gentle.

His voice was very calm, with a kind of tenacity and optimism in his bones, and he softly told his life: "I am a genius, really." I am really smart, especially in bio-alchemy. I can learn it at once, and my tutor also recognized me very much, and even introduced me to study at St. Roch Alchemy Academy]

[Of course, I later learned that the Saint-Roch Alchemy Academy was not an alchemy academy directly affiliated to the Grand Duke, but a joint venture with the Imperial Capital. If you enter that academy, you will not be valued by the Grand Duke... It seems that I have a crush on his children. Threaten]

[But I am still grateful that he laid a solid foundation for me]

[In the Alchemy Academy, my grades are excellent, but not top-notch. After all, I didn’t learn the principles of alchemy from a young age and didn’t have enough money to do experiments. My progress was more than a little behind those noble students... But for some reason, there was a mysterious fund to support my studies and experiments]

[The dean told me, don’t ask who gave it to me, I just need to be grateful and study with peace of mind - I had already guessed in my heart, but I still suppressed my excitement and concentrated on laying a solid foundation for myself in the college instead of In order to catch up with the progress of my classmates, I did some high-risk and high-consuming experiments]

【I can't let people down. Whether it’s mother or ‘that person’]

[In the end, I graduated in the top ten of the college and was the only civilian in the top ten]

[On the day of graduation, a mysterious silver-haired man invited me to tea]

[The dean is also in the tea room. From his humble expression, I know the identity of the mysterious man... Yes, Thorin of silver blood, Night Lord, ruler of the night sky... In addition to the Grand Duke himself, there are also Who could it be? 】

[Saint Roch Alchemy Academy is indeed not a direct descendant of the Grand Duke, but how could he miss the talents in his territory? 】

[The Grand Duke said that he was very optimistic about me. He thought that my talent should not be used to learn potions and alchemy that are just for making money... He told me that I have the potential to change the world, and I have this ability]

[I was very moved, but also very inferior. I told the Grand Duke that I was just a commoner with no family knowledge and no background. I was not worthy of such praise... I did not inherit the bloodline of my father's ascendant at all]

[The Grand Duke told me that the blood of the sublimated ones can indeed make their descendants physically better than others, but it cannot change a person's character or aura in their mind. There are many stupid and mentally retarded nobles. Of course, there are also many ordinary people. After all, the empire has a population of nearly two billion, how can there be so few idiots? 】

[All in all, there is no significant difference between human intelligence and stupidity in this world. Don’t take yourself too seriously because of a little boring blood, and don’t take yourself too lightly.]

[He told me that all the nobles were the first to occupy high positions because their ancestors were smarter, more resourceful, or had better luck than others. In order to maintain their power, they made such a move. Set up a garbage-like system so that your family can be stable for generations]

[The Grand Duke smiled and said to me that he actually has nothing to complain about. After all, he is the Grand Duke who has been replaced for generations. But even if this is the fact, I cannot look down on myself because of this stupid system]

[He invited me to join his laboratory, where my ingenuity will be maximized]

[From that time on, I swore that I would only be loyal to the Grand Duke for the rest of my life]
