Chapter 148: Nes
WHOOSH
Dorian clenched his fists, feeling a sense of power, of rawhis veins His body was covered in a hard, metallic and crystal shell, shaped like armor
He was in his Balance Demon form
As he looked out at the world around hi so much clearer Especially the ts he’d studied so far, the Law of Wrath and the Law of Valor
&8211;
Dorian &8211; Soul Status
Soul Stage: Lord Class (Pseudo-King)
Health: Perfect
Energy: 101,878/101,878
&8211;
"Hahaha!&8221; He laughed out loud as he looked at his stats His power had ju his physical form to a Balance Demon, plus the power he absorbed from the Laws of the Universe to enrich his Soul, had pushed his basic energy levels to roughly theClass
"I’ Class&8221; He noted but shrugged To reach King Class, it didn’tthat separated the two classes was one’s understanding of at least one Law
Taeic, had an abnor Class Wizards, yet was still Lord Class
"Actually, that’s a good point&8221; Dorian ht now The Law of Wrath and the Law of Valor I don’t have anything to guide y that I can sense, I can slowly gain a better understanding for each&8221; He talked his plan aloud, nodding,
"However… duringtwo other Lao other sources of y&8221;
Dorian’s Jade Me Thanks to this, Dorian could accurately recall the exact type of energy and sensation each of those ts
"H over the sensations
"Groan…&8221; Dorian’s thoughts were interrupted, however, by Helena’sat the tree she was resting on
Her face was covered with a sheen of sweat Her appearance was physically withered, as if she weredown at her with concern His heart twisted as he saw her condition, wanting nothing other than for her to be healthy
"Damn it…&8221; He muttered, unhappy If he found Pills that could help treat injuries to the Soul, he could speed up the healing process But, right now, they were in the iven her literally every Pill he had that he thoughtas well
After a ht, Dorian withdrew several sets of clothes froently lifted up Helena’s body and spread the clothes out, for a more co pillows and blankets into Helena, several of her subordinates had tents and blankets in their Spatial Rings, but she herself hadn’t carried anything of the sort
He softly set her body down, letting her rest He then looked around, ht&8221; He whispered quietly as he turned around and sat at the base of the tree, his body physically guarding Helena
"I need to let her rest We can startPills later For now… Let’s look into these ts&8221; His eyes flashed
He had already grown row as powerful as possible Absolutely nothing would stop hi!’ He clenched his fists before forcing hiht Caly… let’s focus on the first one…’
‘I first sensed thisevery single Artifact I could get my hands on, in an almost mad rush’ Dorian’s Jade Memory called to y
As Dorian rely nowhere, Dorian once y As soon as he felt it, Dorian sensed it resonate with the Law of Wrath
The energy was powerful and vitriolic It was overwhel between the two It gave Dorian a sense of need, a desire to take any and everything in sight and protect it as his own
"Grrr…&8221; Dorian’s arht as the Laws of the Universe flowed heavily around him His Balance Dey to y from the Law of Valor and Law of Wrath that was always present within hi
"I can feel it… I can sense it…&8221; Hefiercely This was the Power of Law
"The Law of Greed&8221; Heas an epiphany ca Dorian suddenly bursts into the air, stirring the environy The Laws of the Universe seereedily devour this green light, aly washed over hi a baptism of the Laws of the Universe
"Did you feel that?&8221; A Shade wearing a full set of grey plated arh a forest of trees, looking to his left and right On his back was a large white sword and a set of throwing knives
"Feel what, Anthone?&8221; The other Shade wore an identical set of ar knives on his back Each of the their facial features
"I sensed so for a moment Tinor, distantly in that direction&8221; Anthone said, pointing to a direction in the forest off
The other Shade, Tinor, shrugged, looking in the pointed direction
"Your guess is as good asthe Eastern Worlds I doubt we’ll be the ones to find the target&8221; He said aloud, shrugging again
Duke Orbit, the Shadow Duke of the East, was known for his slothful and jovial nature In terms of power and authority, however, he ruled with an iron fist He had established his own are, spread out force of ‘Hunter Squads’ stationed on every single World he controlled Each Hunter Squad contained several Lord Class Wizards and warriors, the e of overall enforcement of the law on any particular World
The Duke had 4 Head Hunters, each in charge of roughly 40 Hunter Squads Each Head Hunter was a powerful King Class Wizard, adept in Magic and combat
The Easternn eneely as a result, most Hunter Squads weren’t ideally equipped for cos
"Still… Let’s go check it out Be prepared to send up the warning signal should we find the target&8221; The Shade’s eyes flashed as he moved forward towards the disturbance
The sensation of the energy that flowed around Dorian, baptizing his soul, was incredibly enjoyable to feel It was pure ecstasy to Dorian’sti fully coy keenly, sensations running through his mind
The Law of Greed A Law that centered around the concept of greed, a desire for so that one does not have It was a mystic Law, one that was hard to understand, one of the Great Seven Laws of the Demon Race
Dorian didn’t know exactly what all the Law did, not yet He did gain an innate understanding of the basics of the Laever, knowledge flooding into hison offense Conversely, the Law of Greed was si its user’s strength,the the body like the Law of Pride, the Law of Greed enhanced the soul
WHOOSH
Dorian could keenly feel the Law starting to take effect, the energy that flowed into his soul her and more durable, able to handle more stress and use The Law also had the side effect of strengthening his hness A er personality and a h this wasn’t always the case
The Law of Greed was the chosen Law for Wizards of the Deer Spells in addition to strengthening their normal Spells
"Ahh…&8221; The baptism of the Law of Greed finished its main effects in a few short moments, similar to how the baptism from the Law of Wrath had taken place Dorian, however, chose to focus on its effects for several h him and help him understand the Law more
Finally, after several minutes, Dorian pulled his focus away from the Law of Greed
He now sent his Jade Me on the ht as well do both right now&8221; He nodded
Hison as Arial bravely sacrificed her life to gravely injure Veritas, blocking Dorian and protecting hi to save him
In that mos she had coe, nor her arbiter But upon seeing that, his heart had stirred Without a shred of hesitation, Dorian forgave her for her betrayal and leaving hiht there, as that y A Law
Dorian called tohis Jade Mereat effect
And, once y appear in his senses
Dorian immediately put his focus on it, like he had for the Law of Greed
Bright blue light flashed around Dorian as energy from this mystical source appeared and flowed around his ar his th It boiled with power but held its cale flooded into Dorian’s mind as he realized what Law this was
The Law of Mercy
A concept that centered around forgiving an ene theiveness A complex Law that was known by very few In fact, in the entire 30,000 Worlds, the only current group that had active practitioners of the Law of Mercy were some of the cloistered Holy Monasteries in the Western half of the 30,000 Worlds, within the Borrel Autarchy
"It’s like the Law of Wrath…&8221; Dorian muttered around as he came to an epiphany
Like the Law of Wrath, the Law of Mercy was a Law that focused on attack power It granted the User’s attacks powerful strength and iathered around Dorian once more as the Laws of the Universe reacted
And, once more, for the second time within the past hour, and the fourth time in total, Dorian experienced a baptism of the Laws of the Universe
This ti seele baptism of the Laould only have a short effect on the surroundings, a second one happening right after the first caused the entire environy were hard to detect by even powerful experts due to their abstruse nature Unless one practiced the same Law that baptism was for, they would not be easily detected However, anyone that ithin the vicinity of the effect would still sense so intently on soaking in the feeling for the Law of Mercy, he completely missed a few movements in the forest a few hundredyou, Tinor, I really think I felt soh the Laws of the universe&8221; Anthone led Tinor forward as they jogged through the trees They had been running for several minutes now, headed towards a specific direction
"Well, I’ve felt nothing&8221; Tinor responded, the grey ar uncomfortably as he continued,
"And honestly, we’ve only been searching for a day There’s no chance that we fi-&8221; Just as he was continuing, however, the other Shade held up a fist, silencing Tinor
"Quiet! I can sense it again! Right there!&8221; Anthone broke into a sprint as he dashed into a s, his eyes wide A powerful, Lord Class Aura full of Darkness burst around hi
Tinor ran behind, another Aura of Darkness flowing around hi knives appeared in his hand as his eyes grew steely, ready to attack if need be
Their orders were to subdue their target if possible The description of the target had been scant They were only told that the Hunter’s Sigil that each Hunter wore around their neck would glow brightly when they found him or her
WHOOSH
The baptism for the Law of Mercy was even faster than the one for the Law of Greed Unlike Greed, the Law of Mercy sank into his soul quickly with little fanfare, not powering it up tooLaw, it could only slowly add to the strength of his soul as his understanding of it grew
Dorian let the feeling of the La over hi in the ecstasy he felt each time he experienced this It was incredibly pleasurable and almost indescribably enjoyable
In the midst of this, however, Dorian felt , just in front of hih of his attention away to open his eyes
The treeline in front of hih it, heading right towards hi at a breakneck speed
Dorian’s eyes widened as he saw this He kept the epiphany of the Law of Mercy still fresh in histo waste any of the experience, keeping his main focus on the Law
The creature burst from the treeline into view
"Huh?!&8221;
"It’s right here!&8221; Anthone leapt forward, drawing the large sword on his back as he ran past one last tree, going on guard The air around him fluctuated with power as his Aura burst forth without pause
Tinor landed on the ground right behind hi lying on the ground right in front of them
Dorian stared at the creature that had co appeared in Dorian’s eyesight A deer that appeared to be rass, with a mane composed of some type of pink plant, and hornswith the various heads of roses that dripped nectar round around it A e &8211; ii )(Doesn’t Open In App)
In his head, Ausra identified the creature for hianism composed of various types of h the le, ho’
"Huh&8221; Dorian stared at it
Anthone looked down at as before hi
He then turned and exchanged glances with a grinning Tinor
"Well, it looks like you found solared at Tinor and then turned around in frustration
"Cohed as he turned around too, shaking his head as he took one last glance behind hiiven birth to a set of triplets Grass Pigs were a rare beast found in the forest they were searching, especially those at the Grand at the two Shades that had just burst into view, its hackles raised as it snarled at the
"Hahaha, you knohat, Anthone, there is one thing I think we’ve learned fro, catching up to his friend
"Yeah?&8221; Anthone grunted in response
"It’s just like your
"Go on&8221; Anthone’s voice was dangerously cals&8221;
"You bastard!&8221;
‘The deer was most likely drawn here by the fluctuations in the world around you from your Law baptisms Fluctuations like this more commonly appear froic Herbs, or when powerful beasts with Soul Spell Matrixes at the Grandive birth’
"Oh Well, that’s a relief I thought so&8221; Dorian uess that would be far too convenient, though, huh?&8221; He shrugged
As he looked at back at the deer, he noticed that there was a large, black arrow pierced into its back This arrow see it
The deer took a fewand turound dead The deer y fluctuations Dorian was giving off
Dorian looked at it with pity but shook his head He could not save everyone in existence If he tried to save the life of every squirrel and spider, every human and Aethman that he found, he would make it nowhere
"Oi Sal it, Jasol! The deer should be close to death!&8221;
In the background, Dorian heard two youthful voices call out, yelling to each other
His eyes flashed
It see someone after all
