Pastor's Tantra

[Mortal Sin Strengthening], this is the most important term among the Major Sin Scholars' special skills, second only to burning cards.

This is commonly known as "strengthening" or "melting cards".

The enhanced Sin card's positive effect will be strengthened by a small amount, but this is not important.

After all, the damage value is not less than a few percent; the important thing is the inversion effect-the summoned sin beast will have all its attributes strengthened. The attribute bonuses obtained by merging multiple cards are additive...the value in the game is 5% for each card. If five cards can be fused, it will be a 25% enhancement.

The Sin Beast itself has very high values, and with the buffs, the proportion of enhancement will be even higher.

If the Devil Dog's numerical value is enhanced by 5%, you may not feel the enhancement at all; but if the group boss strengthens all attributes by 5%, then the group will be wiped out.

In the forums and video website strategies that Aiwass had seen in his previous life, sometimes there were some rather evil configurations. By pairing targeted Sin Beasts with a special deck, you can achieve the effect of "luxury four guarantees and one".

Generally speaking, the Sin Scholar is a two-line explosive profession with a high amount of operations.

That is to say, through dual-line operation, at critical moments, you can quickly cut out different sinful beasts to use your skills, and then cut out the big beasts after releasing your skills; at the same time, you can also quickly draw cards to play various free-hand skills. But usually, I only rely on the Sin Beast standing on the field to provide continuous output.

"Card fusion" is another play method, and it is also a play method that is more suitable for Aiwass's current situation.

That is the "station flow" style of play.

From the beginning to the end, only one sin beast is used that can target the BOSS, and then all matching cards are used to strengthen this sin beast, or use fusion cards to strengthen and increase attributes. Other than that, I only carry a small number of decks for self-protection. The remaining beasts of sin will not play at all, or they will only play a blood line at the beginning, or they will explode at the end.

In a sense, this effect may be more suitable for the current Aiwass than burning cards!

——Because he has no other sinful beasts to switch to!

The cards currently logged in by Aiwass - [Shadow Blade], [Thunder Halberd], and [Earthbound Spirit] can all be released with dark attribute mana. In other words, they can all be used to strengthen Night Demon!

Night Demon, who was already at the sixth level and reached the world's peak level, was strengthened by another 15%...

Aiwass thought of this and decided to give it a try.

He stretched out his hand and pressed [Aiwass's Book of Law].

One card after another neatly appeared in his consciousness, while more cards were empty spaces of pitch black nothingness.

Even if the cover of the book is closed, Aiwass can easily confirm which card he has registered in each card slot.

As Aiwass thought, the bright [Moon], [God of Death], and [Wheel of Fortune] turned into streams of light, spiraling into the card that was as clear and as deep as black crystal.

"Night Demon——"

Following Aiwass's low call, the flame butterfly that had been standing quietly on his shoulder suddenly turned into a ball of sparks and dissipated in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the scattered sparks collapsed into the void. It turned into a pitch-black card, with a crow's pattern roughly outlined in blood-like lines.

Before Aiwass could touch it with his hand, it spun half a circle on its own and then shattered.

Dark purple lightning and black whirlwind surged out of the void quickly, and Ligeia couldn't help but take a breath.

——As the strongest person in Avalon, and even one of the few strong people in the world, she actually felt a clear sense of danger from the Night Demon summoned by Aiwass!

"My master……"

Venez murmured softly.

The voices of Miss Assassin and Bayard were different from those in the past.

She didn't open her mouth, and the low moan came from her ears like she was talking in her sleep.

Her pale and clean body was marked with broken scarlet lines. Just like the holy stone statue shattered, the blood inside was leached out.

The Night Demon's body was wrapped in shadows, and its crow-like black wings behind him were slightly spread out, and countless black shadow feathers were floating in the air. But like snowflakes, they melted in the air before landing.

Aiwass raised his head and stared at Night Demon, who was like a broken doll, and looked at the two red marks on her face.

He suddenly thought of everything he had just seen in his hallucination——

Vignes raised her head in the rain of blood, and two tears of blood streaked silently on her face.

...And the cracked marks on Night Demon's face at this moment are very similar to the paths traced by the two blood tears.

In addition, the three wounds and three doors that Aiwass had opened on his body were also transferred to Night Demon. She also had three strange scars at the corresponding locations.

The one on the neck is like an arc moon, the one on the abdomen is like a full moon, and the one on the chest is like a spider web...or in other words, the sun.

Recalling the hallucination during the contract, Aiwass suddenly understood why Vines was a jealous beast and why she fell in love with No. 14 at first sight...

Aiwass still remembers the appearance of No. 14.

——She is so similar to Vines when she was a child... not only the appearance, but even the temperament is somewhat similar.

When Vines looks at her, he must be able to think of his own past. Thinking of that wet and cold rainy night, thinking of myself walking helplessly on the street...thinking of my childhood without friends.

From beginning to end, Vignes is alone.

Her parents didn't care about her, she had no friends who understood her, and she was even betrayed and killed. Such a corpse became the Son of the Moon, and in anger she became the Shadow Demon - but even the Son of the Moon had no friends of the Son of the Moon, and the Shadow Demon had no other demon friends.

She walked alone for more than four hundred years.

The essence of jealousy is loneliness.

Beautiful love, sincere friendship, respect from others, success in career...

First, her parents died early, so she took over the company at a young age, and never had the opportunity to have fun and entertainment; and when she was using all her energy and life as a human being to make the company bigger and stronger, she was betrayed and died. She was still very young when she died; after she became a child of the moon, and before she was about to "adult" and be accepted by her own race, she met the shadow demon again.

For "Bayard", the son of the Moon who inherited all the memories of Vignes, the Shadow Demon as an Avenger is undoubtedly her only friend.

And Shadow Demon probably lacks such an understander.

The fear of loneliness outweighs the fateful showdown. Probably because of this, the two people who were supposed to fight to the death immediately after meeting finally reached a reconciliation.

The Moonchild with eternal life gave up his life; and the Shadow Demon with the brand of rage also gave up hatred.

The reason why Vines was able to give up the brand of rage was probably because she originally had the aptitude for the brand of jealousy. If greed is more inclined to the material level, then jealousy is more inclined to the spiritual level.

For Vignes, who is materially rich, she is always one step ahead. But because of this, she never had a companion by her side.

Since then, the empire has been destroyed and reborn. As a shadow demon, she travels between the dream world and the material world, but all summoners are just mediocre people.

In the end, nothing is left.

——Until this moment.

"Owner……"

The Night Stalker called again: "I have arrived."

Unlike Shadow Demon's voice, which was always full of malice, she seemed peaceful and pure at the moment.

"How does it feel?"

Aiwass woke up from the memory of hallucinations and asked, "Do you still feel repulsive?"

"Also, it's very clear."

Night Stalker replied.

"It's normal. The sixth energy level has already touched the limit of the world. If you are not careful, you will hit the 'invisible wall'... But because of this, there are also ways to circumvent the limit of the world."

Ligeia nodded at the side and said: "The Eternal Pope will also choose to seal part of his power. She usually chooses to sleep, connect herself to the giant tree, and use her body as the center of the Theocracy."

"If you fight for too long, will it lead to 'equilibrium'..."

Aiwass murmured.

He could probably feel the gradually increasing pressure in the surrounding space and determined a basic number.

——About three minutes.

After three minutes of full firepower, Aiwass needs to release her Night Demon form and transform back into Night Crow; or directly change to another Phantom Demon.

But it's enough.

Not to mention three minutes... For a strong person at the sixth level, it only takes a split second to determine the victory.

Just like when Meg stopped the war, she actually only used two moves from beginning to end.

The first sentence stops firing, the second sentence draws the line.

Aiwass murmured and raised his hand: "But you should be able to use another form to avoid..."

The thought connected with the Night Demon transmitted Aiwass' thoughts.

The Night Demon flapped its wings behind him, and his whole body turned into a beautiful little black crow surrounded by black shadow feathers, and then stood on Aiwass's shoulder.

It's an amazing feeling.

It's obviously just a bird, but at first glance it gives people a "beautiful" feeling. Maybe it's because it doesn't have any color on it, or maybe it's because of its ruby-like pupils.

Aiwass chuckled, tilted his head and stretched out his index finger to gently touch the crow's head.

The night crow also pecked Aiwass's fingertips gently, causing a faint smile to spread on Aiwass's face.

——I raised this child!

Compared with the Flame Butterfly, which was a high-level phantom demon when it was caught, the Night Demon was fed out by Aiwass one bite at a time.

Seeing it standing docilely on his shoulder, and thinking about the unruly and dangerous Shadow Demon back then, Aiwass felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

Aiwass could vaguely feel that even in the semi-sealed Night Crow form, Vines could still use part of his power.

Shadows, blood, curses... are probably at the third level of intensity. Maybe on the same level as Aiwass.

And perhaps because her evolution originated from the shepherding method, Lily's connection with her was not severed like the contract between Aiwass and her. Lily can still borrow part of the shadow power from the Night Demon, because the Shadow Demon has not evolved into the Balrog - the Night Demon also has the power of shadow attributes.

It's just that the Night Demon can no longer blend into the shadows like the Shadow Demon.

Compared to the incorporeal Shadow Demon, the Night Demon has an entity. The fallen angel's figure, which looks like a stone statue or a doll, is its true form.

It's a pity that Aiwass really doesn't know what kind of enemy his Night Demon will be used against now.

In other words, what kind of enemy is suitable for Aiwass to fight with Night Stalker.

Aiwass summoned the Night Demon this time, and even used the "melting card" technique to strengthen the data by 15%.

If Aiwass doesn't switch to Phantom anymore, then this 15% panel will always be stuck here. And tomorrow, Aiwass's magic card that has gone into cooling down will be able to be used again.

If Aiwass is in danger, she can transform back into her true form and fight quickly.

Now is not a battle against Tiansi. If you maintain the world's top level of power for too long, you may "hit" the wall of equilibrium.

But even so, Aiwass is almost equivalent to carrying an eternal pope with him.

With Night Demon in hand, Avas suddenly felt confident.

——Now even if Xing Antimony really goes to war with Avalon, he is not afraid at all!

Now that Ligeia is still alive, plus the Night Demon... the "Armed Gargoyles" and "Rune Colossus" that Aiwass feared before are no longer insurmountable enemies.

"elder brother."

But while Aiwass was teasing Nightcrow, Yulia on the side suddenly spoke.

Her eyes became a little sharp for some reason.

Yulia looked at Aiwass and said seriously: "The ritual that allows Lily to gain power...can it be used on me?"

Aiwass looked at Yulia in surprise.

In his impression, Yulia never cared about extraordinary power. She was not even as interested in those things as she was in mountains and rivers, arithmetic theorems, machine springs, mortises and tenon joints, and reagent bottles and jars.

He thought for a while and nodded slowly: "Yes, but you have to wait until Isabel comes back. I will prepare this ceremony for you then."

Aiwass didn't do this before, mainly because he didn't dare.

After all, the Paraflame Butterfly had just been taken out of Yulia's body not long ago, and Yulia had been tortured by it for too long. Maybe just seeing it will remind you of your own painful past. So Aiwass didn't dare to mention it too much.

But now that Yulia has taken the initiative, she must have moved on from the past.

It just so happens that Aiwass can't use the power of Flame Paranormal Butterfly for the time being.

And Yulia herself has a close connection with the Butterfly of Flames, so she must be able to quickly grasp this power that "originally belongs to her".

And coincidentally, Aiwass also wanted to show Isabel the "Pastoral Essence" ritual.

Maybe she also wants to be pastored by Aiwass!

Although Aiwass currently does not have the power suitable to give her... but if Isabel has such a wish, Aiwass can also use "suitability to distribute power to Isabel" as one of the selection criteria when he captures new beasts of sin. .

This can also be regarded as a gift.

Aiwass still remembers the "Isolde's Tears" that Isabel gave him.

Originally, Aiwass wanted to return it to her when he came back this time, but Isabel refused to accept it.

Then Aiwass wouldn't be able to force him back... that would be too hurtful.

…Furthermore, Aiwass actually doesn’t really want to pay it back.

It wasn't that he was interested in the special effects of the equipment itself, but because it was the first jewelry Isabel gave to him... and it was even the one Isabel always wore.

When Aiwass put on this necklace, he felt that his heartbeat was a little messy. Something indescribable was flowing in his heart, like taking in a big breath against a storm - making him restless.

He has always been kind to others.

Rarely…feel this feeling of being cared for and cared for.

Not to mention, this feeling also comes from Aiwass’s impression of “Isabel who needs his own protection and care”.

——It’s funny.

When Yulia handed Isabel's necklace, which still had body temperature, to Aiwass, he vaguely remembered his first advancement ceremony.

And a gift that is similar to or even higher in value than this "own second life"...

Aiwass thought about it...

It seemed that the only return gift was "a heart of a demon".
