MTL - Cataclysm King

  Chapter 20 Demon Feast

   "This is the T-level catastrophe source?"

  Ji Xun looked at the card in his hand. There were two lines of words before, but now it turned into a funny clown wearing a three-cornered hat.

  It is obviously a two-dimensional image, but the clown on the card seems to be a three-dimensional creature that has been reduced in dimension, which is extremely real. His eyes were full of mockery of the world and death. He grinned, and the joking smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be possessed by a demon. He raised it high, giving people a terrifying feeling.

  Just looking at it, a strong sense of mystery and evil came to my face, which made people faintly palpitate.

   But Ji Xun felt no discomfort at all.

  He felt...like looking in a mirror before.

  He saw his shadow on the card, which was familiar and had a certain fit.

  The appearance of the clown gradually changed into his own appearance.

   And after the clown pattern appeared on the black card, it seemed that a certain ritual had been activated, and the whole card seemed to melt, turning into groups of black bright spots that lingered around Ji Xun's body and gradually merged into his body.

   This is not a card that everyone can see.

   At least Chu Jiu on the side didn't see the image of the clown on the card.

   But she just glanced at it, and didn't look further.

  She didn't see which source card it was, and she didn't want to.

  Ji Xun didn't know the value of this card, but Chu Jiu knew it all too well.

  The black iron quality demon mark found on the black market in the dungeon is already considered a rare card that ordinary people can touch.

  Silver is an extremely rare commodity that cannot be found.

   And the gold card is a strategic resource almost monopolized by the top big shots.

   As for the legendary card, for ordinary people, it only exists in legends, and may never see the real treasure in a lifetime.

   Of course, above the legend, there is a card in this world that very few people have actually seen.

   That is the "Fifty-Two Epic Source Card" recorded in the annals of history.

  The fifty-two epic source cards correspond to the legendary fifty-two powerful demon gods, who will give the spell card master the purest demonic power. This is an ancient relic before the cataclysm. It is said that every card is the handwriting of ancient gods.

  As long as there is a card in this world, it will inevitably provoke disputes.

  But Chu Jiu didn't have any intention of reaching out to take it for himself.

  She knows very well that the treasure chooses the owner. Only those with a high enough fit can fully see the power of the demons on the cards and can integrate them.

  Otherwise the probability of distortion is very high.

   It’s like this extra-dimensional space [407 Abnormal Creature Shelter]. Those files show that this place used to be a secret bunker for researching this source card. But without exception, all the experimental subjects were distorted, but they still couldn't figure out what kind of card it was.

   This card has been preserved here for thousands of years.

  Chu Jiu glanced complicatedly at his teammate who was merging cards and awakening, but didn't speak.

  She looked at the twisted light gate that appeared in front of her, and knew that she could go out.

  Fusion will take some time, Chu Jiu planned to go out to see the situation first, so he walked over without hesitation.

  But just approaching the Distorted Light Gate, looking at the settlement rewards, she also had a rare look of joy: "Huh"

  In such a difficult different-dimensional space, the rewards for clearing the level are also beyond imagination!

   I don't know how long it took, Ji Xun recovered from that wonderful feeling.

  The black card [Grey Joker] in his hand is gone.

   "Am I an extraordinary person?"

  Ji Xun understood what happened.

   This is a world of spell card masters.

   Judging from the information obtained so far, the "Devil's Mark" is the key to open the valve of the ultimate mystery of the human body. After awakening, people can obtain extraordinary power beyond human limits from a demon **** pointed to by a certain card.

  At this moment, a door to a new world opens

  He glanced at his attribute panel again, but then complained: "Ah, strength, constitution, agility, etc. have not increased at all."

   This looks like a very powerful card, at least the attributes that can increase the physical body on the surface are not increased at all.

   The basic attributes on the panel have not changed, and element tolerance and perception are all hidden attributes.

   But his sense of "supernatural" is very real.

  Like a newborn, at this moment he feels that the world in his eyes is different.

  He clearly perceived the tiny particles in the air, which were the four basic elemental particles of earth, wind, water, and fire.

   "What a magical sensory world."

  Ji Xun really enjoys the sense of being infinitely magnified, seeing the whole world clearly.

   Tricksters, Doom Gamblers, Jackpots, and Feasts of Demons.

  The abilities described by the four entries are all very exaggerated.

  He doesn't know much about this world, and he still can't fully understand what the gain brought by [Grey Joker] means.

   But the most intuitive thing is that there is an additional active skill on the panel - [Devil Feast Lv0 (1/500)].

   Can absorb the extraordinary characteristics in the corpse?

  He turned to look at the other two iron cages nearby, where the corpses of the old servant and mercenary were still warm.

   "Why don't you try?"

  Ji Xun thought together, and walked over without hesitation.

  At this moment, the corpse whose blood has not dried up is completely different in the eyes.

   Its body surface overflowed with wisps of faint smoke.

   This is out of control mana and extraordinary characteristics.

  The mysterious substance that was originally invisible to the naked eye now materialized in Ji Xun's eyes. This is a very wonderful experience.

  He tried to use the feast, and a layer of gray mist was released from his body, and then he came into contact with the blue smoke.

  It looks like a giant whale opened its mouth wide and swallowed a large amount of seawater in one gulp.

  「You have used Feast Devour, Constitution +0.001」

  「You used Feast Devour, Strength +0.001」

  「You have used Feast Devour, Resilience +0.0007」

  「You used Feast Devour, Fire Element Affinity +0.04」

  「.”

  The corpse had just died, and the overflow of supernatural characteristics was very strong. Even if it was swallowed, there would be more pouring out continuously.

  Properties have grown!

Continued growth!

   Not only attributes, but also elemental affinity can be devoured.

  Ji Xun looked at the constantly changing values ​​on his panel, and was radiant: "Directly devour and increase your own attributes?"

   Small but really growing.

   Feast turned the supernatural properties on the corpse into its own.

  The door to a new world has opened!

   "Although the absorption is a bit slow, this [Feast] is simply a late stage magic skill."

  Ji Xun looked at his constantly changing basic attributes, and sighed in his heart.

  The later the game, the stronger it is.

   I don't know how long it will take to devour the extraordinary characteristics in the two corpses, but I estimated that it will take at least six hours for the strength to increase by 0.1?

   This is obviously related to his unskilled use of skills.

  After Lv0 is improved, there should be a lot of room for improvement in phagocytosis efficiency.

   But obviously now is not a good time to devour.

  Although the different-dimensional space has been cleared, other potential crises are not small.

  I got the final reward of this different-dimensional space, but not everyone can be as jealous as my teammates.

  At least the fourth young master of the Cao family would never agree.

   Besides, I still don't know what the outside world is like.

   Judging from the fact that dozens of people can die in a different-dimensional space, this world is probably very cruel.

  But Ji Xun felt that he liked this place more and more.

  He didn't delay, and wanted to go out before the Distorted Light Gate.

   At this time, Qidi appeared, and he gave a little surprise: "There are settlement rewards."

   Not only there, but also very rich.
