Chapter 1088: War Machine (Thanks to the philosopher gentleman for the Bai Yin Alliance reward)

Lu Mian shrugged his shoulders:

"This is already the result of trying my best to compress."

Of course, without considering the balance of the body, he could shrink to 1.9 meters. After all, he was essentially a mythical creature.

Yu Jianna held back her laughter and said:

"Change your clothes first."

Looking like this now is really awkward, as if he were deliberately wearing a small size to perform as a clown.

After Fu Lan Ka used the Mirror World to go to the new Bai Yin City, bought clothes suitable for Lu Mian's current figure, and let Lu Mian change into them, the few people sat down separately.

Fu Lan Ka looked at Lu Mian's face and muttered:

"It's broken, he's so handsome that I'm a bit moved..."

Yu Jianna didn't speak, but her eyes seemed to agree with Fu Lan Ka's words. The battle-tested Anderson didn't have any obvious reaction.

Lu Mian leaned back against the sofa:

"This is the change brought about by the fusion of the charm of the 'Ageless Witch' and the 'Weather Warlock'.

"Normal 'Hunter' pathway extraordinarys reaching Sequence 2 mainly possess a charm that makes people want to follow and be loyal, and may make women feel admiration, but they don't have active 'Charm'. Now, it's not just admiration, and it's not just aimed at the opposite sex.

"Well, without using 'Charm', it's still controllable."

"Oh oh." Fu Lan Ka was full of curiosity, "What abilities and characteristics does a 'Weather Warlock' possess?"

Lu Mian deliberated and said:

"This extraordinary characteristic contains Sequence 9 to Sequence 2. The abilities of 'Iron and Blood Knight' and 'War Bishop' that I was missing before have also been supplemented.

"I am always full of courage and will not be obviously affected by emotions such as fear and dread, but I am not blind and reckless because of this. In fact, I will still be afraid, I will still be dreading, it's just that they will be overcome by my courage."

"'Sword of Courage' belongs to the extreme version." Fu Lan Ka suddenly realized and nodded.

Lu Mian pulled that iron-black straight sword from the "Traveler's Bag" and threw it to Fu Lan Ka:

"It has no effect on me anymore. Whoever among you and Yu Jianna needs it can use it."

Fu Lan Ka reached out to catch it and said "Hmm".

Then, while stuffing the "Sword of Courage" into the "Traveler's Bag", she stood up and walked toward Lu Mian and Yu Jianna.

After she put away the "Sword of Courage", she suddenly froze in the middle of the living room.

After a short silence, she laughed dryly at Lu Mian:

"This sword gave me the courage to beat you up."

Lu Mian mocked, and divided the pile of straight swords used to seal the "Sword of Courage" into two parts, handing them to Yu Jianna and Fu Lan Ka with the help of invisible spider silk.

He pondered and continued:

"I can also make my body steel-like and flame-like.

"At the Sequence 2 level, the former is no longer ordinary steel, but closer to the symbol of 'steel', enough to block attacks that destroy or melt real steel. The latter can let me disperse into multiple strands of flames, each strand can be precisely controlled, and finally aggregate together to reorganize the body. During this process, even if most of the dispersed flames are extinguished by the enemy, it won't affect the integrity of my body, just that the aura and spirituality will decay accordingly.

"Angel-level flame transformation can also let me turn into flame light, huge flame spears, and terrifying fire meteors to attack enemies or travel. Combined with the surrounding hurricane, the top speed is faster than sound, four or five thousand kilometers per hour. Once the potion is digested, it can be improved.

"'Iron and Blood Knight' and 'War Bishop' manipulate the most powerful flames as cyan, but 'Iron and Blood Knight' is not pure in this regard, and will carry scorching white. At the angel level, the flames are upgraded to purple. 'Weather Warlock' is cyan-tinged purple to purple-tinged cyan, specifically what it is depends on the digestion of the potion. For the subsequent Sequence 1, the flame color should be pure purple.

"Well, if I borrow the power of '0—01', the purple will become lighter and more transparent. If I borrow that power in the depths of the ancient well, the purple will be stained with deep red. This is not the scarlet of the 'Pyro', but the deep red of blood.

"The control over flames has also been greatly improved. Compared to the past, it can cover a battlefield of several dozen kilometers, directly raining 'meteor fire rain', or using fire crows to attack in groups.

"The explosion power of the compressed fireball is no longer comparable to the main guns of the fleet... it's quite a bit different...

"'Iron and Blood Knight' can establish a mysterious connection with his team, concentrating the power of the entire team on himself, and sharing the vision of members, sharing the damage received. However, this concentration is limited to power and spirituality, etc., not including the extraordinary abilities possessed by members.

"At the 'War Bishop' stage, not only can one use the extraordinary abilities of team members within a 3-kilometer range, but one can also share one's own abilities and power with them.

"In this regard, 'War Bishop' shares abilities with a certain member, and apart from himself, other members cannot use them. 'Weather Warlock' can let every team member use them at the same time, and lend them corresponding spirituality. Of course, the overall spirituality of the team will not be extra increased.

"From the 'War Bishop' stage, the heart-to-heart connection within the team becomes direct 'mental communication'. 'War Bishop' can selectively shield and modify certain information in the communication.

"'War Bishop' can also create 'Fog of War', significantly reducing the visual range of all creatures in the mist, affecting their hearing and smell, and covering the corresponding spiritual world, suppressing the interaction between the astral body and the spiritual world, making spiritual warnings and spiritual intuition dull.

"At the 'Weather Warlock' level, the range of 'Fog of War' initially expands to twenty kilometers, which will continue to improve as the potion is digested. At the same time, 'Fog of War' will also have the characteristic of interfering with external divination and prophecy.

"This might affect the astral world at a higher level.

"Within the 'Fog of War', I am not affected by anything. This characteristic can be shared with team members after becoming a 'Weather Warlock'.

"'War Bishop' also possesses abilities such as 'War Cry' and 'War Song', which can be used to boost the morale of the team, briefly enhance power, influence the enemy's mind, and suppress the target's performance.

"Every 'War Bishop', after offering enough sacrifices, can pray to the source of war or the symbol of war, and obtain one help. One war can only offer sacrifices once. 'Weather Warlock' is once every seven days."

Hearing this, Fu Lan Ka "tsk tsk" said:

"Simply a weapon of war, a sickle that reaps life."

"That's why the true god of this pathway will possess honorific names like 'God of War' and 'Master of War'." Lu Mian responded with a smile.

He turned to say:

"'Weather Warlock' part possesses the authority to change regional weather and create extreme weather, such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, rainstorms, hail, blizzards, heavy fog, etc. I call this 'Weather Manipulation'."

"In the Western Continent, it might be called 'Calling Wind and Rain'! No, this coverage is not comprehensive enough." Fu Lan Ka said quite excitedly.

Lu Mian said "Hmm":

"'Weather Warlock' is mainly manipulating weather. Meteorites, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc., are not under our control, but some can be guided and manufactured in an indirect way, for example, using a hurricane to set off a tsunami.

"'Weakness Detection' has also been improved. The target seen will be a target in the overall sense, which includes the target's substitute, clone, and incarnation. Then, find the weakness on this whole, and if this is combined with 'Reaping' and 'Full-Force Strike', and the target's substitute and clone are not enough, one can wipe them all out at once. Even witches cannot withstand a few such 'Reapings'."

"How come it feels like it's aimed at witches..." Fu Lan Ka muttered.

"Is the adjacent pathway like this?" Yu Jianna said thoughtfully.

Lu Mian nodded lightly:

"My weapon will be an extension of my body. Even the most ordinary items can take on this responsibility, it's just that they will break afterward.

"Power, physical strength, spirituality, intuition, finding traces, tracking targets, etc., have also undergone qualitative changes. I can also borrow the wind to fly and float in mid-air."

Speaking of this, Lu Mian laughed:

"The last point is, I've turned back into a male."

Yu Jianna's eyes moved:

"What about the fusion ability of 'Hunter' and 'Witch'?"

Lu Mian, sitting on the single sofa, raised his right hand, and a black flame bound with madness and destruction ignited in his palm.

Immediately after, he stretched that black flame into a deep and oppressive flame giant sword.

Seeing this black flame giant sword, Fu Lan Ka, Yu Jianna, and Anderson all had their hair stand on end, their bodies felt cold, as if the apocalypse had arrived in advance.

Ludwig, who was eating, instinctively moved to the other side of the sofa twice.

"If I encounter space blockade again, I can use the 'Sword of Destruction' to directly slash a crack in the barrier, without needing to make more strikes." Lu Mian flicked his wrist, letting that black flame giant sword burning quietly dissipate.

He continued:

"Furthermore, I can 'stuff' extreme weather and lethal attacks into mirrors, guiding them through the Mirror World to precisely reach targeted locations, attacking people outside the mirrors and influencing the environment outside the mirrors.

"Oh, right, as long as the honorific name meets the conditions, I can respond to prayers on a global scale.

"Hmm, I can also hide 'petrification' power within a fireball. Once it's launched and the explosion is complete, it leaks out, affecting the surroundings without needing to spread inch by inch.

"My occult pathogens are now more heat-resistant and can also spread via rain, gale winds, snowflakes, and the like, influencing an entire area in the shortest possible time, breaking through the limitations of my own ability range.

"My Mythical Creature form, besides igniting those who witness or approach me and creating various types of weather, can also cause them to be petrified, or feel extreme pleasure, or immediately fall critically ill, or suffer curses, or become deeply obsessed with me..."

Lu Mian finished explaining his abilities and finally said:

"If I don't suppress myself and restrain my spirit, then the weather in the region where I am will gradually become variable and extreme, and the probability of war or killing incidents breaking out will also continuously increase."

Listening to Lu Mian's account, a word suddenly flashed through the minds of Franca and the others:

"Calamity."

Natural disasters and man-made catastrophes in every sense.
