Chapter 879: Chapter 253: Spell Card: Light of the Blissful Land

The card rotated slowly, descending into Aiwass’s hands.

Aiwass appraised the pattern on it.

The King depicted on the Tarot Card wore a crown, with a gold and red shield by his side, a red garment symbolizing war, and a pattern of bees on his clothes—the bee being a symbol of Authority.

Behind the King, there were two rams symbolizing Aries, associated with The Sun. Below him lay a lamb whose brain shone as if it were that of a Saint, and in his own hand, he held a scepter topped with a ram’s head. A beam of Light shot from behind him, casting a shadow over his face.

The attributes of the card also appeared before Aiwass’s eyes:

[Spell Card: Elysium of the Light (King)]

[Requirement: Light 4 or Fire 4]

[Action, Chant, Non-contact, Projectile]

[Effect: Fires a stream of light, targeting and inflicting massive damage to the locked target. This damage is considered both Light and Fire attributes and is dealt according to the target’s lowest resistance; this effect must be used under direct sunlight]

[Effect: Upon repeated use, the damage is increased, and the skill’s effect spreads to inflict area damage.]

[Effect: Upon repeated use, further increases damage and damage area, and adds the effects “Punishment” and “Purification” to this skill]

[Effect: Upon repeated use, increases damage and damage area to the limit, and immediately unfolds the territory: The Elysium of the Perfect after the attack ends]

[The Elysium of the Perfect: All creatures and Phantom Demons without the Path of Love or the Path of Transcendence are suppressed; humans gain Regeneration LV3, Sons of the Moon lose all weaknesses, Werewolves acquire steadfast rationale, and Monsters won’t have their transformation techniques detected]

Aiwass was invigorated.

He really got it!

This time, he finally had genuine spellcasting capabilities!

Not the kind of slow and medium-range spells like the Flame Butterfly, but a bona fide light cannon!

And not like the “Perfect Human,” which still had to stage-dramatically beseech the Sun for power and then hurl a giant spear of Light—powerful as it seemed, it was actually very hard to use. Just like the self-destruction of the Defiant Flame Butterfly, it’s very likely to affect oneself and teammates.

If one couldn’t control the area of effect, then it could only serve as a tactical reserve in very few situations.

An ability with an area of effect larger than its range radius isn’t practically usable.

—But this card!

It not only provided spellcasting capabilities but was also leveled.

There were four levels in total—although each consumed four points of Mana, they only used one card usage each time.

Meaning, Aiwass could completely utilize sixteen points of Mana to create a massive area of damage and instantly fabricate a battlefield suited to his combat style.

By repeatedly Burning Cards, it was even possible to use this spell multiple times in a single day…

Though the territory’s enhancement itself was not very balanced—the enhancement for Werewolves and Sons of the Moon was clearly stronger than the benefits for humans and Monsters. Rational Werewolves and Sons of the Moon without weaknesses… the former meant the beastly strength was harnessed, while the latter indicated they were nearly unkillable.

After casting the spell, he could also transform into a Son of the Moon, so the territory provided benefits to himself as well; and Jane, being a Werewolf, could make use of it too.

Although the territory was also effective against enemies, he didn’t need to worry much about the territory becoming a traitor territory… because the territory was generated after the spell, which at the third level, came with “Purification” ability and was itself capable of inflicting lethal damage to Sons of the Moon!

And now, with Aiwass having become colorless Mana… he could probably even use this spell in the form of a Son of the Moon!

“…Thank you for your bounty.”

Aiwass’s lips could not help but curl upward.

He waved his hand and summoned the Book of Law, registering the card within it.

He was also getting closer to unlocking the next level of the Book of Law.

The gift from the Perfect Human gave Aiwass true mid- to long-range spellcasting capabilities—henceforth, he no longer had to stand idly attracting damage as a decoy or directly explode his clone to inflict Curse damage.

Now, Aiwass’s clone could truly cast spells!

Although the upgrade from this card was not as significant as that from a Great Sin Beast… it was like obtaining a gun in a horror game, Aiwass’s first thought was “When exactly can I fire this first shot”.

“`

He was even a bit impatient now—

His Heart of Transcendence was reacting.

Originally, after leaving for Star Antimony, Aiwass intended to avoid all the formidable foes, not stirring up any trouble. But now, with this powerful direct damage spell, he really wanted to give it a try.

…However, to prevent any mistakes during combat, it was best to test it beforehand.

At least to try out the range…

“This is… what power?”

The Honey Badger beside him was astonished: “It can actually seal a Perfect Human…”

Aiwass’s lips curved slightly upward as he turned around: “Do you still see me as the Son of the Moon now?”

When he interrogated Alice before, Aiwass already knew the Honey Badger’s opinion of him.

Although strictly speaking, the Honey Badger’s feeling wasn’t wrong… her judgment was actually correct. At that time when Aiwass saw her, he indeed had the scent of the Son of the Moon on him… because just one or two days earlier, during the moment Lily split into two, Aiwass temporarily became number 14, and bled.

As an astute Hunter of the Son of the Moon, it was perfectly normal for her to sense the scent of the Son of the Moon on Aiwass.

A hint of malice rose in his heart—he was quite curious to know just how many times the Honey Badger’s view of him could flip.

However, before that, Aiwass said meaningfully: “Since you have seen so many secrets… I can’t let you return to Hawkeye.”

“I can die.”

This female assassin, who shared the same era with Jacob yet still appeared as youthful as someone in her early thirties, said very calmly: “But I want to write a letter to the organization… I need to tell them that Aiwass is not the Son of the Moon, to correct our mistake.”@@novelbin@@

Although she didn’t continue to inquire, the Honey Badger felt she had already guessed Aiwass’s secret—

Aiwass seemed to have some ability to hunt the Son of the Moon and gain their power.

If that was the case… then Aiwass’s transcendent wisdom and his network might also originate from this peculiar power. Judging by the fact that the Eternal Pope showed no reaction… the Honey Badger boldly speculated that Aiwass could possibly be the reincarnation of some bishop of the Holy Nation!

She learned from her employer, Cardinal Loki, that many Elves were searching for a cure to the Amberficate. And with Path of Dusk possessing many abilities to take over someone else’s body, the Elves with their longstanding heritage would definitely have knowledge of this.

As for who exactly Aiwass was and what that power was, she prudently did not ask.

But this also answered one of her doubts. The scent she smelled earlier seemed to be related to this as well.

She had actually been a bit puzzled before, as to why she clearly smelled the blood of a female Son of the Moon, yet Aiwass was a man—previously she even thought Aiwass might be a woman in disguise. Because that wasn’t just “smudged” blood; such a level of blood scent could only be emitted by the true possessor.

And this “Isabel” showed no fear whatsoever in front of the Pope… She was likely the real Isabel. Only, she used some sort of special, peculiar ability to snatch another person’s body.

Compared to Aiwass, the Honey Badger was more frightened of Isabel in that moment.

Able to appear at any time, any place, in any form…

This was simply the Queen of a Thousand Faces.

Having witnessed so much, she really should have been silenced.

After all, she personally destroyed the first Perfect Human, witnessing its sealing.

—As the faith of the Son of the Moon… the so-called Perfect Human, was merely thus.

As an act of vengeance, it was also sufficient.

“Even though you are a badger, you don’t necessarily need to be so fearless…”

Aiwass smiled: “Perhaps… you don’t have to die?”

“…What?”

Even the Honey Badger herself was surprised.

She had witnessed so many secrets, and she didn’t have to die?

Could this be true?
