Mang Hou

Chapter 11 Death Reaper

"Original owner" came to find this manor to find the ancient altar, and then obtain the "S-level" extraordinary talent through sacrifice.

Suren also completed the original owner's last wish.

The only difference now is that he awakened a dual talent.

Without any reference, Suren didn't know if it was good or bad, or if the situation was normal.

He understood some of the abilities of the [Omniscient Eye], but he had no clue about the function of the [Death Reaper].

The information left on the retina didn't have any extra content. The only useful thing was probably the map.

At least he knew where the original owner came from, and he could follow the same route back to find the "starting point."

Suren also planned to leave this place and find a human gathering place to learn about this world.

...

After looking carefully, there was nothing extra in the basement.

The five stone statues all had spiderweb-like cracks, which had spread to the altar. It seemed that the ancient altar had completely lost its function.

Suren didn't stay long and walked out of the secret passage.

Back in the dilapidated manor, Suren was already a little out of breath.

The large amount of blood loss made him feel a little dizzy.

And the things on his body were taken away by Baldy Ivan and the others before he transmigrated. He now urgently wanted to find some food to fill his stomach and replenish his energy.

Otherwise, he knew he would never be able to walk far alive.

"I wonder what kind of existence Pestoya is, and where that special space is..."

Suren looked at the dilapidated manor, always feeling that everything in front of him was a dream.

According to what Marcus said before, more than a dozen of Baldy's group died in the manor, and the bodies should have been seen no matter what.

But in front of him, Suren wandered around and didn't see any corpses. Even from the cobwebs in the passage, he could judge that no one had come except himself.

Suren didn't find anything in the house and walked out the door.

Walking into the yard, he realized that the sky was gloomy, like a dark night with dark clouds covering the sky, and the surrounding scenery was hazy.

This manor seemed to be built on a hillside. The blessing of "enhanced vision" allowed Suren to vaguely see the shadows of some large buildings in the distance.

It looked like a dilapidated ghost city.

There was no light source in the city, and it was shrouded in mist. Vaguely, he could still see the shadows of some moving giant creatures in the mist...

Seeing this scene, Suren's eyes gradually deepened, and he muttered to himself, "The mystery of this world is really becoming more and more exciting..."

It was like discovering a mysterious map that had never been explored by anyone in a game, and a strong desire to explore made his heart flutter.

This was also one of his beliefs to live on.

But even a dilapidated manor was so strange and dangerous, so it was conceivable that the dilapidated building complex in the distance must be full of dangers.

Suren didn't plan to explore the city ruins now. He carefully looked at the map on his retina and planned to find the route the original owner came from and return the same way.

The map was even stranger, with the route going from top to bottom.

This meant that if the scale on the route wasn't marked wrong, Suren was now at least hundreds of kilometers deep underground.

Who would build such a large city in such a deep cave?

This was a very strange point.

Moreover, if this was underground, what was the origin of the looming light source in the sky?

This cave space was also a bit too bizarre...

However, Suren, who had seen extraordinary power, didn't delve into these questions.

No matter how strange this world was, it was within expectations.

...

Suren compared the directions and planned to leave the manor.

But as soon as he took a few steps, in the dilapidated garden of the manor, he saw a blood-covered figure lying there.

The shiny bald head immediately alerted Suren.

Obviously, this guy was the previous bandit leader, Ivan!

At this moment, this guy's metal scales had faded, and his skin was covered with lacerations, as if he had been subjected to the slow slicing torture.

"This guy is still alive?!"

Suren looked at the slightly undulating chest of the bald head, feeling slightly surprised.

He thought that Pestoya's ability should be able to kill this guy easily.

"Could this also be a gift she specially left for me? Or does this bald head have some life-saving means and escaped from that special space?"

Suren pondered for a moment, did not choose to escape, but opened the wooden box and took out the rune puppet.

Then, he slowly walked towards the bald head.

It was just right, he was now in urgent need of life-saving supplies, and this bald head came at just the right time.

Twenty meters, ten meters...

After walking within ten meters, Suren also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the bald head still had the strength to resist at this time, the rune puppet should be able to control him.

Obviously, Suren's caution was a bit superfluous, the bald head had completely fainted there.

Facing this guy who almost killed him before, Suren didn't show any mercy at all. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it into his heart.

The sharp dagger accurately pierced under the ribs, instantly ending the bald head's life.

Suren looked at the bald head who was no longer breathing, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a strange scene appeared.

Suren fixed his eyes and actually saw a cloud of gray, glowing mist-like substance appearing on the bald head's body.

He thought that there had been a "corpse change" or an "evil spirit transformation" or something like that, but before he could think too much, he found that he had an urgent desire in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to devour the "gray mist"...

It was the kind of craving you get when you're extremely hungry and see food.

"Could this be... a soul?"

Suren suppressed that desire, suddenly realized something, and then tentatively touched the "gray mist" with his hand.

In the next instant, a series of picture messages suddenly poured into his mind.

[Obtained 'Ivan Adams' memory fragments]

[You have mastered some 'Introductory Mechanical Knowledge']

[You captured a piece of information: 'Oh! Shabina's peaches are really big...']

[Combat experience +5]

[Mental Strength +0.1]

...

"This 'gray mist' is actually the bald head's memory fragments!"

Suren found that some things had suddenly appeared in his mind.

First, like watching a movie, he saw the bald head modifying and maintaining the mechanical arm, and also saw the bald head fighting and fighting with people...

However, after the light group was devoured and fused by him, there was no more separation, and that memory seemed to be his "personal experience."

As for the erotic scene that rushed into his mind, compared to other surprising gains, it was naturally selectively ignored.

Coming back to his senses, Suren realized that he seemed to have mastered some of the skills the bald head had learned.

He looked at his panel again.

Sure enough!

Mental strength also increased by 0.1, and there was an [Entry-level Mechanics] in the skill bar.

The increase of "Combat Experience +5" made Suren estimate that even if he worked hard for three to five months, he might not be able to achieve such a huge improvement.

He suddenly realized the wonderful use of this "S-level" talent ability: "The ability of this [S-004-Death Reaper] is actually to strip the memory fragments in the soul and then turn them into one's own use..."

After realizing the potential of this ability, he was a little unbelievable: "Is this ability so heaven-defying?"

Although this talent ability does not directly increase combat power, it is definitely a "god-level" ability for growth and development!

It can strip the memories of dead targets, thereby obtaining part of the target's abilities... No wonder it's called "Death Reaper"!

The more Suren thought about it, the more he called it amazing in his heart.

This also meant that as long as he had enough memory fragments, he could easily master more skills and abilities.

Magic, alchemy, mechanical knowledge, combat experience, marksmanship... and so on. Skills that others need to spend a lot of time and experience to learn and accumulate, he can master instantly.

The future potential is limitless!

As expected of an "S-level" talent!

Without turning his mind, Suren discovered another problem.

When the bald head was still alive, the "gray mist" did not appear on his body, but it appeared after he was killed.

This meant that the ability of this [Death Reaper] seemed to only be able to strip the souls of the dead?

"However, regardless of whether they are dead or alive, where can I find so many souls to reap..."

Thinking of this, Suren raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the next instant, he muttered another sentence, as if he was talking to someone: "Hey, hey, hey... don't be so excited."

At this moment, he had not yet realized that he had come to a cruel world where human life was as cheap as grass.

Here, death is like the wind, always with everyone.
