Lines of notification gushed up like a geyser in Kieran's vision, and it spammed him non-stop.
[Absorbed, converted a large amount of energy, Constitution +1, Strength +1, Agility +1]
[Absorbed, converted a large amount of energy, Constitution +1, Strength +1, Agility +1]
[Absorbed, converted a large amount of energy, Constitution +1, Strength +1, Agility +1]
…
[Constitution GGG (Strong III), Strength VVV (Strong II), Agility VVV (Strong II)]
…
A never before felt pleasant feeling appeared in Kieran's body.
He had used Golden Attribute Points to increase his attributes many times now, but a leap of many minor ranks through multiple attributes at once was a first for him.
Even a tough guy like Kieran couldn't help but squint his eyes in delight.
Pleasure wears down a person far more than pain.
One would quickly reject the arrival of pain, but pleasure?
One would be easily intoxicated.
Kieran understood the saying well, he panted heavily and continued to check the notifications to divert his attention; it was beneficial for Kieran, his focus was captured right away.
[Absorbed, converted a large amount of energy, Dawn Sword II → Dawn Sword V]
[Dawn Sword V: When you can truly utilize the Dawn Force, it means that you are truly a Knight of Dawn, despite the way you use it being one-of-a-kind. Charge Dawn Force for 2 seconds, consume half of your Stamina to fire out a 50-meter, rank IV attack light sword, cooldown: none]
…
[Absorbed, converted a large amount of energy, Plague Arrow II → Plague Arrow V]
[Plague Arrow V: After the body tempering art reaches Transcendence, you are officially a Plague Knight. You've also mastered the unique attacks of a Plague Knight. Spend 1.0 hours to create a Plague Arrow that can fire without a bow or crossbow at a target no further than 1000 meters away. Inflicts 1 rank III and above penetration damage and has rank III plague infection (Even if the penetration damage doesn't occur, the plague will spread). You can store the arrows, at most 3 arrows at once]
…
[Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] and [Knights of Plague Body Tempering Art]'s mastery increased, thus [Dawn Sword] and [Plague Arrow] jumped in rank.
Perhaps both skills still had certain limits in various situations, but on special occasions, both skills had effects that others didn't.
If Kieran was happy with the increase of [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] and [Knights of Plague Body Tempering Art], then the subsequent notification he saw shocked him.
[Absorbed large amount of special energy, the balance of Fusion Heart has been broken]
[Constitution, Spirit authenticating…]
[Authentication passed!]
[Devil Force passed!]
[Cardinal Sins Force passed!]
[Saint Thorn Force passed!]
[Fusion Heart leveled up!]
…
[Name: Fusion Heart III]
[Type: Organ]
[Rarity: Above III]
[Attributes: 1. Transform Devil III, 2. Desire Summon III, 3. Saint Thorns III ]
[Effects: 1. Fiery Sulphur III, 2. Eye of Evil III, 3. Body of Evil III, 4. Touch of the Cardinal Sins III]
[Prerequisite: Kieran (Host)]
[Remark: This is a fusion organ between the heart of a human, the heart of a demon lord, and the core of the Creature of Desire. With the energy from the Devourer, it has evolved once again and become a unique existence. It has genuinely fused with you, and of course, it isn't yet at its limit!]
…...
[Transform Devil III: Your heart grants you power. When activated, you will take the form of the Demon Lord, 3-minute duration; once per day]
[Desire Summon III: Your heart grants you control. When activated, you can summon the Creature of Desire, 3-minute duration; once per day]
[Saint Thorn III: If you did not choose to activate Transform Devil III or Desire Summon III, you will resist 60% of the damage when coming across holy energy. When you receive damage (regardless of holy damage), of Average, Strong, Powerful, Extreme, I, II, and III level, you can activate a "Halo of Thorns" with different levels to reflect the damage you receive by 10%, 15%, 30%, 50%, 65%, and 70% respectively. You will also be healed from Light, Medium, Heavily, and Lethal wounded state, respectively. When you choose to activate Transform Devil III or Desire Summon III, Saint Thorn will not go away, but its effect is halved by 50%]
…....
[Fiery Sulphur III: Burning flames will follow the lineage of the devil-like shadow. When casting Fire element spells, +1 elemental damage, extra Sulphuric Poison III added on the spell (Any target that gets burned will have to go through a Constitution authentication with the caster. If failed, the target will suffer Advanced Rank damage every second, lasting a total of 3 seconds). The requirements, such as gestures or incantations materials of Fire element spells, are decreased by 75%. If the skill fails to cast, you will only suffer 1/5 of the magic repulsion]
[Eye of Evil III: The conviction of Desire was rooted deep inside your heart. Summon Evil Eye (Secondary Eye level. You can determine the size at will; the smallest is the size of a human eye, the biggest is no larger than the size of the Creature of Desire) formed by the conviction of Desire to fight for you. Duration depends on the size of the Evil Eye, the smallest will last 24 hours, the biggest last 10 minutes; twice per day (When 2 Evil Eyes are summoned, you will gain a special sight that can penetrate through supernatural darkness and invisible force fields)]
[Body of Evil III: The combination of the devil and desire, chaos, and sins, but with a dash of light. Granted 550 extra HP, Stamina, acquired Advance Tensile Skin (absorb Advance Rank damage or below), High Devil Skin (absorb Extreme damage or below, extra defense points against Fire and Explosions); When facing Holy element attacks, you will receive 120% damage, special counter items will deal extra damage to you (included but not limited to blessed objects, holy objects, etc.)]
[Touch of Cardinal Sins: The Cardinal Sins of desire flow in your blood. At will, you can summon Pride, Sloth, or Gluttony to help. When either Pride or Sloth are summoned, Lust, Wrath, Envy, and Greed will provide you total control over them and gain a certain buff; When Gluttony is summoned, +1 Terror to Lust, Wrath, Envy, and Greed, able to force them to do things out of their will]
[Note: When the target is in a state of panic, chaos, fear, or have an extreme desire for something, they will be devoured by the respective embodiment of sins. (No drops!)]
…
Kieran was unable to instantly activate [Transform Devil] or [Desire Summon], but based on the changes of [Saint Thorns], he could tell what kind of changes happened to the former.
The changes would be enough to turn the tides on the battlefield.
No one disliked having two extra ace cards under their sleeves, especially the likes of Kieran.
A deep breath later, Kieran carefully savored the changes in his mind.
Unlike his body and organs, a big chunk of darkness vanished in his mind, but the system didn't provide him with any precise notifications.
"Still hasn't achieved qualitative change?"
Kieran muttered before he turned to Sloth.
"Not bad."
"Don't find me in the upcoming days, or months, I am exhausted, I need to rest."
Sloth yawned, waved his hand, and vanished.
Gluttony, further away who hadn't gotten enough to eat, also returned to Kieran's heart.
Canberlanor, the Old Book, and Bloody Mary, the High Demon, then walked out from the shadows.
"Well done," Kieran praised his new follower and contracted follower.
The Old Book immediately smiled bitterly, he looked ashamed because he knew he barely did anything.
The High Demon acted differently though, it looked up and was waiting for more praise, especially when it caught Kieran's gaze, it grew eager, but…
"I have a new assignment for you," said Kieran
Praise? Where is the praise?
Why new assignments again?
There is no pay, no holidays, and you want to work me to death?
Bloody Mary looked at Kieran begrudgingly, but Kieran wasn't moved.
Bloody Mary's undying properties were beneficial, especially in some special dangerous moments.
"Hope it's not the worst yet," Kieran muttered softly.
