Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Legendary Destiny
Moments ago.
At the center of the military formation, beneath the royal banner.
Roy did not receive the assistance he had hoped for from Bessan and the others, leaving him to fight alone.
However, contrary to what Bessan and Dony might have thought, Roy was quite confident in himself.
The various enhancements he now possessed were far beyond what an ordinary newly-advanced Wizard could compare to.
Estimating the distance to be just right, he extended his chain spear from about seven or eight meters away, thrusting it toward Kairon.
Kairon, as expected, displayed a physique comparable to that of a Wizard, forcefully deflecting the attack.
Combat Aura condensed on his halberd, and he slashed through the air with a force like a raging torrent.
An ordinary person would have no choice but to retreat, avoiding the brunt of the attack.
But in an instant, an even more powerful surge of Life Energy erupted from Roy, like a towering wave, forcing Kairon to retreat step by step.
The power derived from the "Blood Mercury Warlock Body" and the "Life Energy Crystal" completely overwhelmed Kairon.
"What gave you the illusion...
that a mere 15-degree physical strength could suppress me?"
In Kairon's astonishment, Roy revealed an unimaginably terrifying aura, displaying Life Energy several times greater than his own.
Kairon's pupils trembled violently!
At this moment, he felt as though he was not facing a human, but a monstrous creature of flesh and blood, as large as a house or a small hill!
"How... how is this possible?"
The overwhelming aura completely suppressed the power Kairon had gained from his Soul sublimation.
This 15-degree strength...
that surpassed even a Grand Knight...
was instantly crushed by a force at least several times greater!
Both his spirit and body were utterly suppressed!
Roy unleashed his Life Energy Crystal and Source of Magic, allowing the dual forces of life and soul to erupt in full force.
Without hesitation, he thrust his spear directly toward Kairon's face.
Kairon's eyes widened in fury as he pushed his Combat Aura to its limit to block the attack.
But Roy's body erupted with an even more terrifying and immense force, so overwhelming that even Atedia, who was beneath him, froze like a wooden horse.
However, no one noticed this anymore.
With a dull thud, the spear pierced through.
The Blackening Potion, like venom, quickly poured into Kairon's body.
Kairon's body convulsed violently.
In an instant, the flame of his life was extinguished as if swept away by a fierce wind.
...
"Great Chieftain!"
"Father!"
"Leader!"
Dozens of centaurs around them, their eyes bloodshot, charged forward in a frenzy.
Some of the guards who had been disoriented by the Orchard Curse finally regained their senses at this moment, as if sensing something, and looked on in disbelief.
Roy's hair was disheveled, strands of black hair flying through the air like iron wires, transforming him into a terrifying monster.
The armor he wore was a self-made Silver Battle Armor, but due to the incorporation of Radiant Gold, it took on a blend of gold and silver.
Now, under the sunlight, it shimmered with a dazzling reflection.
The diamond-shaped, elongated face guard exuded an artistic beauty, inexplicably giving off an inhuman vibe, resembling a mechanical construct made of metal.
This scene was deeply imprinted in the minds of all who witnessed it, evoking both awe and despair.
Roy turned his head, seeing many faces with varied expressions and complex gazes.
But he paid no attention to them.
Instead, he focused on Kairon's corpse, somewhat surprised to detect a powerful spiritual force emerging from it.
Moments later, this intangible entity slowly floated into the air.
"What is this?"
Roy's hair danced wildly as the chain spear in his hand seemed to come alive on its own, repelling the centaurs trying to approach him.
The others seemed unable to detect this force, and it wasn't something like a wraith or a ghost.
Instead, it felt like Inherent Essence, subtly stimulating the space between his eyebrows.
A peculiar flame, similar to Soul Fire but not quite the same, emerged.
Moments later, when Andov and the others, along with the three Wizards and their respective subordinates, charged forward, cutting down the banners and pursuing the fleeing soldiers, a strange stinging sensation washed over Roy, accompanied by a feeling akin to activating a panel.
[Alchemy Talent Acquiring (0%)]
"What's going on? It's stimulating the space between my eyebrows, but I'm not gaining any Source Essence from Alchemy?"
Roy furrowed his brow slightly.
"The latest novel is first published on 69shu!"
"I should be able to use the Transmutation Circle to define the 'Talent Seed' in the field of Alchemy on my own now.
But I still haven't figured out what the essence of this thing is or where the Source Essence truly comes from.
If we consider this as a kind of 'Philosopher's Stone,' then what exactly is the material used to refine it? Is it life and soul, or something else?"
Simply attributing it to life and soul wouldn't be entirely accurate.
Because Roy had previously eliminated other lives and absorbed other souls.
Even among the various creations in Chalkland, some contained Source Essence, while others did not.
He still hadn't figured out the pattern behind it.
However, at that moment.
On the nautilus star chart seen through his soul's perspective, a small light appeared at the center.
It was as if a new bright star had been added to a "constellation" under the night sky.
Originally, there were only stars representing "Life Transmutation," "Soul Transmutation," "Talent Transmutation," and "Golem Transmutation."
But now, a new one had been added...
Roy, with a sense of disbelief, read the information within it.
"Fate Transmutation!"
"Fate?"
Suddenly, it hit him.
"Fate Legend! Legendary Fate!
This is a special spirituality connected to the World's Will in the unseen!
It can also be understood as the materialized form of Fate Power!
If a special individual in a certain world gains the attention of the World's Will, and all living beings are connected to them, granting them various privileges and care...
That is what is called 'Destined by Fate!'
It condenses a Fate Seed within their spirit, forming a trait distinct from the ordinary!
Such beings are born extraordinary, with the potential to ascend step by step to the pinnacle, becoming legendary figures revered by countless lives!"
Roy fully understood now. The Great Chieftain Kairon might truly be the "Protagonist" of this world, bearing a special mission bestowed by the World's Will!
At the moment this "Protagonist" was defeated and died, the "Fate Seed" began to dissipate, returning to the cycle of nature.
However, this process was intercepted by Roy's unique ability, and the "Fate Seed" was captured and projected into the Transmutation Circle.
This thing was far more profound and mysterious than life and soul, almost silently completing the transfer.
At this moment, Roy also faintly sensed the nascent spirituality of this world.
The Will of Netherlands...
Was weeping!
But not because Kairon had been killed by him, nor because the Fate Seed had been seized by him.
Instead, it was the outer layer of the world, enveloped by massive chains resembling
a colossal black net.
The hazy white light was completely sealed within this ochre-colored planet.
Those chains traversed the void, their origins and destinations unknown.
The indescribable grandeur and vastness left Roy in a daze, speechless for a long time.
