NOVEL WEB Chapter 853, New Moves
Dense blueprints dazzle the eye.
Fang Hao merely glanced at them, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
So much orange, and even crimson-colored things.
When had his luck ever been this good?
Taking a deep breath, he began to examine this generous reward.
The first prize was the "Orator Bishop Set".
[Set Attributes: Spiritual Power +45%, Magic Recovery +35%, Magic Resistance +25%, The Messenger, Protector.]
[The Messenger: Vocal Influence +55%, Spread of Faith +35%.]
[Protector: Constitution +25%, Poison Resistance +20%.]
An orange set, indeed powerful in terms of attributes.
A normal increase of three amplifications, along with two special effects.
The Messenger, increasing vocal influence and the spread of faith.
Protector increases constitution and poison resistance.
Among the orange equipment, this set could be considered strong.
The enhancement of attributes, saying it's close to Dark Gold isn't an overstatement.
Moreover, he was indeed planning to establish his own church.
It was only because of the God of Deception that he hadn't implemented it yet.
Now that the issue was resolved, he could establish temples and organize his church in various cities.
The name still needed to be catchy and pleasant to the ear.
Something that could quickly spread among the common folk.
He cataloged the blueprint of the set and continued to the next weapon blueprint.
[Cicada Staff Production Blueprint]
The 'Cicada Staff', though named a weapon, functioned more like a church's scepter.
[Ability: Spread of Faith +50%, Magic Recovery +25%.]
In terms of ability, it increased the spread of faith.
Meaning, this weapon's function was greater than combat.
Well, now he had the bishop's set and the scepter.
All that was missing were the people.
After finishing the blueprints, next were two varieties of crimson weapons.
[Deceiver's Visage (Crimson)]
[Type: Divine Relic]
[Effect: Increase of Devotees +30%, Evangelism +35%, Blind Faith.]
[Blind Faith: Generates temporary devotees, who can be converted into official devotees.]
(Description: Behind the charitable smile hides a cunning smirk.)
An item used for a divine statue.
Compared to the previous 'Divine Candle', its attributes were much inferior.
The most special attribute was 'Blind Faith'.
It would make praying civilians become temporary devotees, and whether they could be converted into official devotees later depended on the church's capability.
However, from the description, it seemed almost deceitful.
But the added attributes were still good.
At least, it would greatly serve in recruiting devotees and collecting faith.
It could be used initially, as it had no adverse effect on him.
The second finished item was a weapon.
[Life Claiming (Crimson)]
[Type: Relic of the Divine]
[Damage: Level Six Damage]
[Effect: Ignore Defense, Decaying Body.]
[Ignore Defense: This weapon disregards any form of defense and armor.]
[Decaying Body: Targets hit will be unable to recover from injuries or regain health in any form for a short duration.]
(Description: The slaughter never ends.)
Finally obtaining a top-tier weapon.
Level Six Damage.
In terms of effects, ignoring any defense was quite terrifying.
Meaning, whether you wear armor against this weapon makes no difference.
The second feature, Decaying Body, rendered hit targets unable to recover from injuries.
This was also quite fearsome, as recovery was a crucial aspect for mighty heroes or divine beings.
Like Rolana, a significant feature was bodily recovery.
Now, preventing her from recovering would drastically reduce her strength.
[Beast Accomplice (Dark Gold)]
[Type: Talisman]
[Effect: All attributes +35%, Large Target.]
[Large Target: Transform into a large/giant beast form, Attack Power +75%, Skill Cooldown -55%, Magic Return 50%.]
(Description: The enraged beast will shred its enemies before it.)
Beast Accomplice? Large Target?
If he were to associate this item with the God of Deception, he could only think of that enormous monster composed of masks.
Not sure if that counts as a transformation.
But in terms of size, it surely qualifies as a large-sized target.
This item also provided a strong enhancement in attributes.
All attributes +35%, and it also comes with a 'Large Target' attribute.
Upon transforming into a large or super-large target, the attributes significantly increase.
Especially the 50% Magic Return, effectively halving the magic cost of skill releases.
In his territory, there seemed to be none who could transform into large beasts.
Dragon, does that count as a beast?
Wasn't really sure.
Continuing onward.
[Star Tear (Orange)]
[Type: Special Item]
[Effect: Fixed structure interior, Enlightenment +15%, Perception +25%, Training Efficiency +30%.]
(Description: A crystal formed from divinity, radiating divine light.)
When first seeing the name, he assumed it was some special material.
Upon seeing the attributes, it turned out to be a special item.
It could enhance various learning and training attributes.
It could be placed in schools and training grounds, but per Fang Hao's preference, more likely in the training grounds.
Training grounds contained his people only, and while schools would also enhance the overall strength of his territory, it wasn't as direct as training grounds.
Having finished with the blueprints and equipment, what followed was [Divine Barracks Integration Blueprint].
This item was also needed by Fang Hao.
Remaining in a no-faction state, he needed to create three new barracks to establish his own faction.
Previously, there were not enough blueprints for the barracks, but now three more have been awarded.
With the conditions met, the next step was to find some barracks with good attributes to synthesize.
He was also eager to research and establish his own faction.
That would solve the problem of lacking recruitment materials.
He continued reading down.
[Lost Ancient Stone]
[Category: Recruitment Material]
(Description: Can recruit legendary troops that guard the deities.)
Just by reading the description, he understood the purpose of this stone.
It was a recruitment material for Mythical Troops.
After reviewing all the rewards, he stored them all in the storage space.
One could say, this treasure chest was quite powerful; once everything was arranged, the power of his territory could be raised another level.
On this continent, he was now capable of challenging any force.
After reviewing everything, Fang Hao also stood up and walked out of the lord's manor.
To see the damage in the city.
At the same time, he directed the work to ensure there were no dangerous buildings that could cause further injury.
...
The sky was dim.
Inside the lord's manor, all was quiet.
Fang Hao knocked on the door lightly and then walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, a figure pounced on him, arms around his shoulders and long legs wrapped around his waist.
The sudden jump really gave Fang Hao a scare.
His hands carried the weight, and he involuntarily bounced her up a bit.
"Jumping without looking, aren't you afraid of pouncing on the wrong person?" Fang Hao said.
"How so? Don't you like it?" Rolana replied with a smile.
Rolana was wearing a loose purple nightgown, revealing her fair and beautiful neck and collarbone.
Under the hem, her straight, long legs were wrapped in black stockings.
Tightly clinging to his waist, hanging on his body.
"I like it to death!" Fang Hao whispered.
Rolana also smiled, held up his face full of tenderness, looked at him for a while, then kissed him deeply.
Perhaps it was the pressure from being brutally killed today.
Or maybe because the God of Deception had died, and the tense string in his heart had loosened.
Rolana was much more proactive and passionate than usual.
It just felt like Rolana wanted to burrow into his body entirely.
The two embraced tightly for a good while, then Rolana was held and leaning on the side of the bed.
Being an old couple, she naturally knew what would happen next and cooperated without moving, waiting for the next steps.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him silent, Rolana turned her head and asked curiously.
After a pause, Fang Hao said, "I learned a new move today, want to try it?"
Rolana's cheeks flushed, she hesitated for a moment then said, "We can try, but if I can't handle it, you'll have to find Anjia."
Fang Hao frowned and immediately said, "That's not what I meant."
"Alright, let's hurry up…"
Upon getting the approval, Fang Hao also showed a smile.
Activating the power of Divinity, he softly said, "Rolana…"
"Ah? What more nonsense!"
"Your body will be exceptionally excited and sensitive..."
Ah~!
As soon as the words fell, Rolana's body suddenly stiffened, and she let out a satisfying scream.
...
Two days later.
Everything had returned to calm.
News had also come in from various subordinate territories.
There were no more anomalies among the residents, and cities were undergoing repairs, while the followers of the Deceiver were being investigated and captured.
The matter of the followers didn't really necessitate captures.
After all, the God of Deception was already dead.
But for the cities, large-scale investigations and arrests were still ongoing.
After all, such a big incident required an explanation to the public.
That morning.
The Dragon Queen and Isabella, after tending to their own territories, came again to the main city.
To confirm whether the God of Deception was truly dead.
The three of them hadn't killed each other, so how did he end up dead.
Somewhat skeptical in their hearts.
"He's dead? How did he die?" the Dragon Queen stared at him.
A look as if to say, I'll crush you if I catch you lying.
Isabella also looked seriously, needing to confirm this matter.
After returning, they had begun to reduce their military forces, preparing for the deity's retaliation.
Suddenly, Fang Hao declared that the opponent was dead.
Even though they knew such matters wouldn't be casually mentioned, they still found it hard to believe.
If Fang Hao truly had that capability, he wouldn't have been in such a dire situation, nearly losing the main city.
Hearing the Dragon Queen's inquiry, Fang Hao nodded, earnestly saying, "Indeed, he's dead, and it's the kind that can never resurrect."
Both frowned.
"How did he die?" Isabella pressed.
Fang Hao answered, "I asked a powerful deity to intervene and kill him. That's all I can divulge."
Their frowns deepened.
That seemed impossible; why not ask that being to intervene directly?
Instead, why wait until things were so desperate to resolve the situation?
And besides, where was there a powerful deity that you could simply ask for help?
"This… are you sure you're not making this up?" the Dragon Queen questioned again.
Fang Hao gently clapped his hands, and two skeleton soldiers came forward, bringing in several pieces of equipment.
"These are your dropped items; I've collected them all."
Both stared at the equipment, lost in thought.
"Stolen back?" the Dragon Queen said.
Well, still not convinced, huh.
Fang Hao thought for a moment, then softly said, "Dragon Queen, you're unable to breathe…"
The next second.
The Dragon Queen's face dramatically changed, her pupils dilated, filled with surprise and fear.
