Capítulo 26: Chapter 26 The Unique Authority of the Savior
The Skill Book 'Ghost Control' Fang You wasn't necessarily opposed to keeping it for himself.
He believed that sooner or later he would be able to reach the total accumulation of spiritual power and mystery, but...
The question was how long it would take.
The organization was just getting off the ground, and being fast at the start meant being fast at every step, on the contrary, to let such a precious skill book rot in the warehouse would be a waste.
Of course, the main reason was that he couldn't learn it, Black Blade couldn't learn it, but it seemed...
"The Ghost Control Skill Book, while overtly listing all sorts of difficulties and learning conditions, squiggles in between the lines all spell out four words — tailor-made!"
This Skill Book was practically tailor-made for the new Apostle 'An Jianyou'.
It could make her stronger, let her quickly embark on the path of a working person, and shine for the organization.
"Forget it."
"The path of the Master of Ghost Control sounds wonderful, but if these 'ghosts' refer to the ugly and fierce Mysterious Evil that affect one's sanity when close by, then it's... not so delightful."
The ghosts he wanted to control were not quite the same.
Even if they weren't cute girl ghosts or cool, aloof female ghosts, one would at least expect a profitable butterfly or a fire-breathing crow, right?
But there were none.
Mysterious Evil was nothing but ugly or uglier.
Thinking this way, Fang You felt more at peace, and most importantly...
"Maybe An Jianyou can control these eerie creatures, but I have an edge; I control people.
He had painstakingly nurtured the Apostles to become strong, and Fang You felt it was not wrong to say he controlled people. Who would argue?
An Jianyou might become very strong, but since the people were his, that wasn't much of an issue.
Of course,
"An Jianyou and Black Blade are different. Even if I bestow her with abilities, I can't be too direct."
"Hmm, the most important thing is, with the withdrawal of the second Apostle, the Savior Organization has now assembled three members, and my privileges seem to have been enhanced, unlocking some brand-new gameplay."
Fang You didn't rush to develop An Jianyou and opened the game log instead.
'Ding!'
'Notice: Savior Organization currently has three Apostles of Fate, fulfilling the requirements; the organization's base has been unlocked.'
'Notice: Detailed information about the base can be viewed from the base module, and an entrance linked to the outside world may be established.'
'Notice: Base module opened, Divine Points +5.'
'Notice: Savior of Destiny's authority has been upgraded, and the operations available for Apostles have increased, also acquiring a unique right of the savior — Heart of the Apostle!'
—
'Heart of the Apostle: You may borrow one skill from any Apostle of Fate. The borrowed skill cannot be upgraded and only one can be retained at a time, replaceable. This ability can be used once every three days. The current ability cannot borrow Awakened Abilities, talents, or skills of purple grade or above.'
'Note: Borrowing a skill will not affect the Apostle in any way, while upgrading the level of the Savior Organization can enhance the powers of the Savior.'
'Evaluation: As the Savior, having a bit of the Apostles' abilities is reasonable, right!'
Fang You: "!!!"
Originally, he was just casually checking to see what new functions the game had acquired, primarily curious about the newly added base module.
But now, the base? That's nothing, he, Fang You, just wanted to properly explore the unique power that was his alone.
Fang You accessed his own character.
At the very bottom of the information section, an extra power button appeared, and with a light press, options popped up — choose an Apostle to borrow a skill from once.
'Black Blade: Basic Sword Technique (Proficient), Mysterious Evil Tracking (Proficient), Blade Slash (Expert)'
'An Jianyou: None'
He chose Black Blade's Blade Slash.
In an instant, the game interface added a skill slot to his character panel indicating 'Blade Slash · Expert Level (Temporary)'.
The way to use the expert-level Blade Slash flowed into his mind.
It wasn't much content, unlike learning Palm Thunder or Mysterious Evil Tracking, which had a learning process; this time the reproduction was painless, but the skill copied over was hazy.
He didn't understand it.
He didn't get it at all, but it was extremely shocking... yet he could use it.
Mysterious Evil Tracking, Palm Thunder, there was a process of learning, from nothing to something. The temporary Blade Slash had none, making it feel insubstantial, like an accessory.
But instinct told Fang You he could use it, and that was that!
He took out the novice Wooden Sword, held it in his hand, with the tip pointing diagonally upwards.
"Blade Slash!"
With a low shout, the power within him seemed to boil, surging into the blade and instantly emitting a blinding red light that spread along the blade, extending forward with his will.
Red blade aura! Half a yard long!
Continuous, variable stretching property, this is a master-level Blade Slash for sure!
In this way, our Savior of Destiny also has a Black Blade's single strike of...
Whoosh——
The red glow on the blade quickly extinguished, and Fang You collapsed to the ground with a thud, feeling incredibly empty, completely hollow.
His body was drained.
The entire master-level Blade Slash lasted only one, two seconds?
Fang You lay on the ground, his mind a blank.
"That was careless of me."
"Before Black Blade awoke, he was only good for three seconds, and it was only after awakening and gaining the blue energy bar that he could fully utilize the master-level Blade Slash."
"And I, well..."
It ended too quickly, unintentional as it was for Fang You.
But to be fair, after having used the master-level Blade Slash once, he seemed to have a slight understanding of handling the life energy, foreseeing a small increase in the proficiency of his Palm Thunder.
This was no illusion.
Additionally, his understanding of Blade Slash became clearer.
"If this continues, I might very well learn Blade Slash on my own, as well as other skills."
"The more Angel Envoys I have, the more skills I can learn, and the stronger they will be."
With this thought, Fang You became eager to get An Jianyou's skill learning plan underway.
Then he could copy Ghost Control for himself.
Not being able to learn it was not a big deal; copying would do the trick.
But these things can't be rushed.
Rushing is futile.
He, the Savior of Destiny, the player of the game with countless skills, the guiding light for the Angel Envoys, Fang You, was still lying on the ground, unable to get up.
...
While Fang You was still down, in a coffee shop somewhere in Baijiang, An Jianyou hugged her head, her mind wandering aimlessly.
"You have been chosen by destiny, An Jianyou."
"From today on, you will be a member of the organization."
The voice seemed to come from a distant shore, an unnamed great existence speaking to her, echoing in her ears, slowly fading away after a long, long time.
An Jianyou thought she heard some whispers again, but it seemed not.
The whispers she heard before, from those terrifying monsters, were chaotic and hoarse, but the voice echoing in her ears was sonorous and clear.
It was the voice of a young man, gentle yet authoritative.
Soon after,
An Jianyou seemingly witnessed a vision.
The shadows of bygone days loom closer, the world's filth is taking root, the countdown to the apocalypse has begun, the entire world is plunging into the abyss, disaster looms everywhere.
"Are you ready to fight for the future of the world?"
I...
An Jianyou felt bewildered, disoriented, but also felt a stirring deep inside her.
Myself, the chosen by destiny?
To fight for the future of the world?
If a normal person heard such a voice, such a statement, it would be irrational to believe it.
But An Jianyou...
She looked out the window, where stumbling figures like walking corpses moved among the crowd, the sky was overcast, and terrifying monsters perched on buildings, exhaling ominous breath.
The whole world was indeed falling into an abyss.
She had no doubts.
