Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 119 Devil's Power
The night is dark, the stars and the moon are dark, and the path in the wilderness has become blurred and difficult to distinguish. The surroundings are quiet, only the biting cold wind occasionally mischievously brushes the sense of existence.

Thorn's vague figure hovered near the caravan until he entered a sparse grove before choosing to stop.

I saw him leaning against a big and thick tree, inserting the Anjin long sword in front of him, sitting cross-legged on the ground, lost in thought.

As a ranger, he possesses an almost supernatural heightened senses and a deep awareness of wild places.

He can even use his knowledge of nature to track his enemies over almost any terrain, using the most inconspicuous clues to find the quickest path.

For him, only when he is in the dense forest and the vast wilderness can he feel the intimacy brought by nature.

"Not every prospector who wanders the remote hills or sets traps becomes a ranger. A true ranger is someone who knows how to blend in with nature and experience its holiness, and then be touched by it like a paladin."

Thorn, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly recalled the way of being a ranger that the ranger mentor told him when he was in Fallstown.

In Upper Falls he had learned how to stalk game and how to sneak in the shadows with the help of the bushes and broken stones of the wilderness.

He has also honed his special combat skills and the ability to use the magic of nature to perform divine spells through hardships and obstacles.

Concealment, ambushes, hunting, and casting divine spells are all essential to a ranger.

Leave the hustle and bustle of the town behind, cross the dangerous walls that separate the wilderness, and focus on hunting the hazards that linger on the fringes of civilization. Fend off hordes of monsters and humanoids from the wilderness before civilization is ravaged and destroyed.

This is exactly the dream he chose to become a ranger at the beginning. Although he has gone through a series of earth-shattering changes, these obsessions are still deeply imprinted in his heart, and he has never wavered.

Thorn looked up at the sky, it was now late at night, but he had the racial trait "dark vision", which did not affect his night vision, and the scene before his eyes was a beautiful black and white.

Black represents depth, oppression, solemnity, mystery, and has a feeling of darkness.

White represents freshness, flawlessness, ice and snow, and simplicity, giving people a sense of relaxation and joy.

This kind of black and white stark scenery is Thorne's favorite scenery in this world, because it is simple, named and strong.

He is a relatively independent person, he likes to stay away from the living habits of hot baths in hot beds, and likes to stay away from the protection of high walls in towns.

They also like to hunt evil creatures that threaten civilization, and like to wander in the wild frontier.

His life is like this monotonous black and white.

At this time, a leaf slipped quietly under the blowing of the cold wind, and Thorne subconsciously reached out to take it and put it in his palm.

There are many moth-eaten marks and unknown scratches on the surface of the withered and yellow leaves. After withering, the clear and visible veins are like the deep wrinkles on the face of an elderly person.

From a little green sprout to green leaves covered with lines, and finally from new green to withered yellow, under the breeze, the fallen leaves return to their roots. This is the simple life of a leaf.

Human beings are not like this, they are nothing more than how many growth scars have been scratched in the process of growth.

The night was getting thicker and thicker, the mist had already covered nature with a layer of tulle, and the withered and yellow leaves fell silently from Thorne's hands.

When the leaves left Thorne's palm, a majestic demon mark appeared from his palm.

Although the life essence of the abyssal demon has been completely absorbed by him, it has been fused with himself and used for his own use.

The price in exchange marked him with the mark of the abyss, because the mark of the devil in his palm is the best proof.

However, the demon's chaotic will has already been cleared away by him, and this mark will not affect his consciousness. Its function is nothing more than allowing Thorn to obtain some special abilities from the demon.

In Thorn's view, as long as the sharp blade can kill the enemy, why bother to care about the forger.

The tiefling player Ishak chose 50% of the blood of Balor when creating a character, which resulted in a strong chaotic will, and he was almost insane after being tortured.

But the blood from Balor also brought him great power.

For example, the supernatural ability "Baro Balrog Flame Protection" and the magic-like ability "Demon Summoning", as well as the attribute bonuses and various spell resistances brought about by his remarkable appearance characteristics.

These abilities will definitely be strengthened again as his level gradually increases.

What Thorne fused tonight was the life essence of the devil, and he didn't get any blood of the devil.

There is no so-called powerful attribute bonus, but many special abilities from Barlow are almost all inherited by him.

After all, what he fused was the complete life essence of a legendary demon, the key for the demon to reshape itself.

When Thorne finished refining all the life essence of the demon, he immediately mastered the first ability of Balor.

Spell-Like Ability: Fireball (3/3/day)
The Abyss and its endless layers gave birth to countless demons, who screamed out their hatred for all things, and new species were born almost every day.

But there is no doubt that the real master of the bottomless abyss is the Tanari demon, which is now the third generation of abyssal demons.

Before them, the rulers of the Abyss were Orbismos, the descendants of chaos and destruction. They were the creations of the first batch of Chaos Demons, and they once ruled the Abyss for a long time.

until human beings were born.

Before the current order had really taken shape, dead humans began to have souls entering the abyss.

Orbis demons are very interested in the souls of these mortals. They use their own chaotic power to transform these souls, and finally create the Tanari demon race that appears today.

The demons created by fusing human souls are extremely powerful and numerous.

In the end, the chaotic war broke out in the bottomless abyss, and the Tanari demon overthrew the second generation of demon kings and became the ruler of the abyss.

And Balor is the leader of the demon race, a high-level demon who has inherited the power of chaos and flames.

Even in the bottomless abyss, the Barlow flame demons are the absolute ruling class, they stand at the top of the demon clan, second only to the demon lords.

It has always been the main force of the abyssal battlefield. A Balor is a lord-level existence anywhere in the bottomless abyss, and it also controls a huge army of demons.

What Thorne fused was the life essence of Balor, which also enabled him to master a lot of knowledge about the abyssal demon, especially the information about Balor.

Although he doesn't have the blood of the Barlow Balrog, he can't get its strong physique and various powerful spell resistances.

However, it has inherited the soul energy of Balor, and possesses many spell-like abilities of Balor.

The only pity is that although the foundation of this Barlow Balrog is intact, the essence of life has been seriously lost.

Of course, if it doesn't consume much of its life essence, it's impossible for Thorne to absorb all of it.

Too much life essence was lost, which caused Thorn to only unlock one spell-like ability. To master all of them, he had to constantly kill demons and absorb the soul energy in them.

Thorne looked at the demon mark on his palm, and with a thought, a row of data appeared in front of him:

Special Ability: Devil Power lv1 (0/100)

This way of upgrading the power of demons cannot rely on experience, nor can it rely on practice points.

Only by killing all kinds of demons and extracting their soul power, can the various spell-like abilities of the Barlow demon be continuously awakened as the level increases.

Today's Thorne not only holds the inheritance of the Nine Swords, but also inherits the special ability of the devil.

And his original dream was just to be a ranger wandering in the wilderness, but now everything has changed. From the moment he left Fallstown, the trajectory of his life completely deviated from his original intention.

Because he understands that it is impossible to protect the continuation of wilderness civilization with the power of rangers alone.
