Chapter 70: The Blessing of the Death of All Things

In the dense forest.

"Water, freezing magic pattern."

Xia Mingyu condensed blank magic power at his fingertips, drew and superimposed magic patterns in the air, and created a clear piece of ice.

"Take a look at your new blessing," Xia Mingyu said calmly.

"Thank you, Lord!" Boge had an intimate contact between his forehead and the ground, and then looked impatiently at the reflection on the ice.

A line of emerald green text entered his eyes—"Comrade", and a stream of information flowed into his mind.

Walk with the King: When you are loyal to your lord, your strength will be improved, and the more angry your lord is, the stronger the strength you improve will be; at the same time, the strength improved after each loyalty will be slightly retained.

One Heart: You can conduct spiritual dialogue with your lord across distances with your lord's tacit consent, and at the same time, your lord can conduct spiritual dialogue with you ignoring your will.

It's actually an identity blessing of Transcendent rank!

Boge's heart was first shocked, and then he was ecstatic.

You must know that most nobles in this world only have identity blessings of mortal rank; after all, not all nobles can become lords.

And he, a refugee commoner from a hunter background, was actually on par with the Viscount Hughes, the master of Black Wolf Territory, in identity rank!

What an honor this was, and how grateful it made him!

Boge only felt that the decision he made when he was saved by the lord and asked the lord to accept him as an attendant was simply the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

At this very moment, Boge felt that every organ, every drop of blood, and every hair on his body was trembling wildly and shouting two words—Loyalty!

"Lord, I will never forget your great kindness; I will definitely shed every drop of blood for you and become your most loyal hunting dog."

Bang, bang, bang!

Boge kept hitting the ground with his head as if he were treating the damp mud ground beneath him as an enemy.

If Xia Mingyu hadn't helped him up in time, he was afraid he could have smashed a small hole.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and tell me what ability you got."

"Your Highness, the ability I got is..."

After listening to his account, Xia Mingyu fell into deep thought.

Walk with the King, One Heart... Why do these two abilities always give him a sense of playing Pokémon?

But they were quite useful, at least for him.

"Boge, besides these two abilities, are there any other abilities?" Xia Mingyu asked directly in his heart.

He hadn't forgotten that the most critical role of "Comrade with the Son" was to make the other party awaken an exclusive blessing based on their potential and will.

"It seems there is another one, but it requires a bow and arrow to be cast..."

A moment later, Boge's heart-voice, which was clearly uncertain, came into his mind.

"Let's go, go back and get the bow and arrow."

About half an hour later, the two returned to this dense forest with a bow and arrow.

Under Xia Mingyu's gaze, Boge took an iron arrow from the quiver on his back and nocked it on the bowstring, then he closed his eyes tightly, sensing the strange power that had inexplicably appeared in his body.

A minute later, Boge opened his eyes; at this moment, his hawk-like fierce brown pupils lost their white, and his entire eyes turned into an incomparably gorgeous ice blue, and were still shining with a faint light.

An extremely terrifying momentum bloomed from his body, or rather, it was more like the instinctive vigilance of a creature facing its natural enemy.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The birds within hundreds of meters of the dense forest seemed to be frightened and flew wildly in the direction away from Boge.

For a time, the sound of the bird flock flapping their wings almost drowned out all the sounds around like a tsunami.

Thump, thump, thump.

Even Xia Mingyu himself, when sensing this threat, instinctively accelerated his heartbeat.

Swish!

At this time, Boge pulled the bowstring to the full, and the longbow in his hand shot the arrow out fiercely like a full moon; the sharp arrowhead tore through the air and made a whistling sound.

But its attack target was not the panicked birds in the air, but a towering ancient tree that several people could wrap their arms around not far in front.

Bang!

Unsurprisingly, the arrow hit the hard trunk, and the arrowhead was firmly inserted into the trunk.

At first, the ancient tree seemed to have no reaction; after all, compared to its huge trunk, the wound caused by this arrow was not as damaging as a person hurting their toe.

However, a few seconds later, a mutation occurred.

The part of the trunk hit by the arrow quickly became shriveled and withered, and this withered feeling quickly spread to the entire big tree.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

As if the breath of autumn swept through in an instant, the branches and leaves of the ancient tree quickly turned withered and yellow, and then countless leaves fell one after another, drawing a miserable arc in the air like dying butterflies.

The entire trunk withered and turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the canopy also hung down like a skeleton that had lost its support.

Not long after, this towering ancient tree that had grown for decades became a shriveled old dead tree, as if time had passed for hundreds of years in an instant.

It died.

Xia Mingyu clearly recognized this fact.

Then his pupils shrank suddenly, the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly, and his gaze toward Boge was full of shock.

"Did you obtain the blessing of accelerating the passage of time by a hundred years in an instant?!" Xia Mingyu asked in disbelief.

You must know that any ability, once it involves time, is undoubtedly the top-level ability in the world.

Was the hunter boy who saved him from the wolf's mouth actually a thousand-mile horse with infinite potential?

"Lord, what are you thinking? How could I obtain such an exaggerated blessing?" Boge said with a wry smile.

His eyes had returned to normal at this moment, but he was panting heavily, his forehead was constantly sweating, and he looked extremely exhausted.

That arrow just now seemed to have drained all his strength directly.

Sure enough, it wouldn't be that lucky; Xia Mingyu was disappointed in addition to being calm.

"I just obtained the blessing of being able to see the death of prey," Boge explained slowly at this time.

Xia Mingyu: "..."

Damn, I hate these lucky dogs the most!

Although he had quite a few abilities on his hands, he really didn't have such a top-level strong attack ability.

But he remembered that Comrade with the Son... it seems it can borrow the abilities of comrades.

Thinking of this, Xia Mingyu's eyes narrowed.

"Tell me in detail about your blessing."

"I seem to have seen the death of all things, but only one point can let me bring death..."

Under Boge's overly abstract account, it took Xia Mingyu nearly ten minutes to barely understand.

Blessing: Death of All Things

Can see the death of living beings, and embody it as a certain point moving on the living being—the death point; just use a weapon to break that death point, and you can directly give the other party death, ignoring the rules.

It seems that the more noble the living being, the harder it is to see the death point, and the burden on the body is heavier; because Boge said that he only glanced at himself with the corner of his eye, he felt his eyes hurt as if they were about to explode, and he couldn't see any death point at all.

"Still a bit unable to understand... Since that's the case, let me try it myself," Xia Mingyu's mouth lifted slightly.

"Boge, I want to borrow your blessing, do you accept?" he asked.

"Everything I have, flesh, soul, and glory are yours; how can there be any talk of borrowing?" The hunter boy knelt on one knee, his expression solemn.
