Chapter 463 - 238: Tier Seven Dungeon (3)
Lu Cang concealed his entire aura, becoming as unnoticeable as an ordinary person—as if he weren’t there at all.
From a distance, he watched the group of experts flying over.
’Quite a gathering of powerhouses.’
These people were all High Level experts from the major Churches and factions. One would rarely see even a few Level 6 individuals in Lorren, yet at this very moment, as many as seven or eight had arrived.
And among them was even a Level Seven.
It wasn’t that seven or eight was a huge number.
It was just that he had only just summoned this Level Seven Dungeon, and not even a minute had passed.
’For so many experts to have arrived in such a short time...’
Lu Cang stuck his hands in his pockets.
SWOOSH—
A streak of light shot across the sky!
’Oh, that’s him.’
The Head of Reconnaissance from the Reincarnation Sect’s Investigation Division.
A Level 6 Observer, and also a Level 4 Archer.
Two other experts with Battle Professions flanked him, providing protection.
Seemingly sensing Lu Cang’s gaze, the man looked directly in his direction.
’As expected of a Level 6 Observer. So perceptive.’
Too bad for him. When he looked over, all he saw was an old man staring dumbly at the sky, his face a mask of shock, as if he were watching immortals fly by.
"Hmph—"
The Observer snorted coldly.
’So it’s just some old country bumpkin who’s never seen anything...’
’We weren’t hiding our presence as we flew, so it’s normal for someone to spot us.’
After confirming it was just an old man, he continued flying straight ahead!
After watching him fly off, Lu Cang reverted to his original appearance.
...
「7:00 AM」
The Tier Seven Dungeon he’d created in the pre-dawn hours of the previous day had caused quite a stir.
Lu Cang was confident that the Dungeon, created after he Sacrificed a soul, was exceptionally powerful. The Demons in the Sea of Trees were so strong that even he had some trouble cutting them down.
Other Level 7 Reincarnators, even if they had the strength to clear it, shouldn’t be able to do so that quickly.
"He should be back by now."
Lu Cang was in a mansion, lying on a sofa and tossing two stones.
These two stones were Sealing Stones.
They could be used to set up various blocking Restrictions, such as those that sever Perception, block sound, and cut off communication.
CREAK~
At last, the door swung open.
Lu Cang looked toward the doorway and saw a man walk in.
’Oh, he’s here.’
When the man saw Lu Cang, his pupils contracted instantly.
But before he could even cry out in alarm!
Lu Cang’s Dagger had already pierced through his mouth, the blade scrambling his brain from within.
"In the real world, we have no personal quarrel..."
"But the help you gave Saint One has caused me a great deal of trouble."
This Level 6 Observer was the one who provided perceptual support for Saint One, reporting Lu Cang’s position every time he and Saint One interacted.
Although his own Unsolvable Mystery made it difficult for the other party to detect key information.
But in terms of his ability to aid Saint One alone, he was still an infuriating nuisance.
However, the Observer’s combat abilities were pathetic. In Lu Cang’s eyes, his secondary Battle Profession wasn’t even worth a mention.
He was instantly killed the moment they met.
At the same time, an Undead appeared beside Lu Cang—the spirit of the man he had just killed.
’Now I finally have an Undead from a Level 6 Observer to help me.’
Lu Cang shut the door tightly, took out Aertemi’s Skinning Knife, and humming a little tune, he peeled the skin off the man before him.
Immediately after, he began to perform the Skin Sewing Ritual right there in the room.
He sewed the Observer’s skin directly onto the Undead at his side.
The Skin Sewing Ritual.
Even without the Skin Taker Profession, it could still be used.
However, one could only use a tiny fraction of the original’s abilities; its main purpose was to adopt the appearance of the skin’s previous owner and mimic their aura.
As for the Undead now sheathed in flesh, its deathly aura was completely suppressed and sealed within.
Lu Cang spoke. "Elpham."
Elpham knelt on one knee. "I am here."
Lu Cang linked his Perception with Elpham’s, and an area with a twenty-thousand-kilometer radius instantly filled his vision.
’Only twenty thousand kilometers?’
’This is what a Level 6 can do?’
Lu Luwei was only a Level 5 Observer, and she already had a fifty-thousand-kilometer Perception Range.
The gap between twenty thousand and fifty thousand was far greater than a mere 2.5 times.
It had to be calculated cubically.
’And the jump from Level 5 to Level 6 is supposed to be a qualitative leap. It seems Lu Luwei is just that far ahead of the curve.’
Still, twenty thousand was sufficient for most situations. Most importantly, Lu Cang had now obtained his identity.
After the skinning, he cleaned the scene, destroying the body and leaving no trace.
In one hour, "Elpham" was due at the Church to report the previous day’s findings to Saint One.
During his "rehearsal" today, Lu Cang had already studied and imitated Elpham’s verbal tics.
...
「One hour later.」
Reincarnation Sect Headquarters.
The diminutive Saint One ascended the throne in the great hall of Reincarnation, looking down on the many Teaching Envoys bowing before him.
"Yesterday, I sensed the gathering of a massive Demon tide far outside the city."
"Before I left today, the Black and White Envoys also told me of last night’s events."
"Elpham."
"You were the one sent to investigate yesterday, correct? What did you find?"
