Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 3 Special Dice

Oops, the dice didn't roll well. Why did it turn out this way?
Star watched the pitch-black ship gradually approaching. Strangely, he did not feel any will to resist. It seemed that he would just wait to die and be slaughtered.

The captain next to him was the same. As the leader, he was also in a state of not being able to resist. He lowered his head and couldn't help shaking.

Is this the ability of a Chaos Mentor? As a low-ranking lawyer, I seem to be severely restrained.

The huge black sailboat approached step by step.

In the sudden changes that took place within just a few minutes, everyone was in shock, but unanimously had no intention of using force, and their own wills were completely distorted under the terrifying pressure and intimidation.

Of course, facing the famous Black Emperor on the sea, it seems that they cannot defeat it even if they resist to the end.

But Costa's heart is not so honest.

"I can't go on like this, or I won't be able to do anything."

He secretly warned himself that although his main property was the pile of potion materials he had bought, there was also a bastard from the Witch Sect on the ship who was eyeing him covetously.

If the original plot had been followed, wouldn't I have to endure a difficult drift on the sea even if I survived the murder?

When he thought of the possible losses, he tried his best to think. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he tried to find a suitable way to break the deadlock.

Lawyers are below the Chaos Mentors and don't have the relevant abilities to resist, so it seems that this approach can no longer be relied upon.

Then use the gambler's ability? But my spiritual power has been used up in the dice roll just now.

Between reality and illusion? But now it can only protect me and enhance my abilities. And I am only a sequence 9, it seems that there is no other extraordinary ability that can enhance my abilities except dice rolling?
Should I force myself to roll the dice when I don't have much spiritual power? Isn't that too reckless? Not to mention the possibility of failure, even if I succeed, I will suffer backlash.

Let me think, what else can be used?
……

Suddenly, Star had an idea.

"Between reality and illusion, treat me as a dice to bless your status."

There seemed to be a gurgling sound in his ears, and Star seemed to be possessed by holy light, and no longer felt discouraged as before.

Now he is just a big human-shaped dice. What bad intentions can a dice have?
But this dice is a little special.

Star did not continue to roll the dice, but simply stuck himself in a state where he was not affected by the "oppression" brought by Nast's domain, and the pressure he had felt before disappeared completely.

Watching the Black Emperor approaching the Clover, with the sailors on it either drawing their swords or guns, ready to plunder, Star knew that under the leadership of Nast, a descendant of Solomon, they would not kill the captives, so he did not make any unnecessary moves and just lowered his head to think.

If nothing unexpected happens, after this robbery, Tris will definitely take this opportunity to stir up internal strife in order to digest his own potion.

We can't let him succeed like this.

Star came up with an idea and quietly retreated to the cabin he had just been in. He picked up a pen and started writing with his extraordinary hand speed.

By the time he finished writing, the sailor from the Black Emperor just came outside.

Star picked up the paper covered with words, folded it carefully, took it with him, walked out, and ran into the pirates who were looting and asked him to hand over his property.

He pretended to be intimidated and said to the fierce pirate, using the eloquence of a "lawyer" to guide him: "I don't have much property. If you don't believe me, you can search it."

As he said this, he just covered his pocket which contained the paper he had just written.

The pirate was intrigued by Star and shouted, "What's in there? Take it out."

Star had no choice but to take out the paper he had just written and handed it to the pirate. The pirate took it and saw that it was a letter to report Tris to the Orthodox Church as a suspected cultist. The letter also mentioned that "if we catch this clue, we may be able to find out the forces behind him."

"Tris? A cultist? Agile and able to induce evil desires in people? This is a Beyonder."

The pirates who woke up from the shock didn't care about Star and reported the news to their superiors.

Even though it was impossible for ordinary Beyonders to resist in the domain of that adult, this information should still be uploaded in a timely manner. This was also the effect that Star had come up with on the spur of the moment - to expose Tris, a Sequence 8 Beyonder, to the King of the Five Seas.

It just so happened that this pirate was literate, which saved him from unnecessary effort later on.

Of course, if Star didn't want to expose the secret of his ability to withstand pressure, he would probably have revealed it directly.

Now, through this indirect means, we can change the original fate of the ship.

If you can’t report to the Orthodox Church, then report to Nast, the King of the Five Seas!

And in a place Star couldn't see, just as he expected, Nast listened to his subordinates' report, and became interested. A smile appeared on his broad face: "A Beyonder from a secret sect? Please come over and check which route it is."

So Tris, the round-faced and kind boy, was suddenly pulled out of the crowd. Caught off guard, he resisted the urge to run away, and continued his disguise and said, "My lords, what do you want from me?"

"You've been exposed. Tell me, which force's Beyonder are you from?"

The pirate captain asked Tris with a look of disdain.

what?
Have I been discovered?
Seeing that the truth had been revealed and that he was facing Nast, the King of the Five Seas, Tris felt that there was no hope of escape, so he simply cleared himself of the charges: "I am just an assassin, and I have no intention of doing anything out of line."

Little did they know that Nestor was also secretly observing the incident. He was good at taking advantage of loopholes in the rules, so how could he not see through this sophistry?

"Interesting, he's an assassin. But it's more than that. It seems he's been promoted to an instigator? He's killed quite a few people?"

After thinking about it, as the king of the sea, he was the one who made some common rules of the sea. It would have been fine if he hadn't discovered it before, but now that he saw a rat from the witch's sect, Nestor would not just ignore it.

Many murders happened because of instigators behind the scenes.

As descendants of Solomon's Empire, they would not place defeated captives in such a situation where they would be abused.

So Tris felt bad, his behavior was out of control and wrong, and in an instant he felt that he had become extremely cowardly. He could only cooperate obediently with the pirate captain and be taken to the Black Emperor by him.

On the other side, Star returned to the room he had searched, sat on the bed and ordered to the virtual and real: "Use all my spiritual power to determine that my previous behavior will not arouse suspicion or attention."

It was as if his head had been hit by a hammer, his mind was distracted, and Sta fell into a coma.

While he was still conscious, he felt the brilliance of his previous actions flash by in the space between reality and illusion, and finally fell into darkness with a gurgling sound in his ears.

[Dark Dice]

【Luck: 11/60 (Success)】

Normally, extraordinary people on this path would not have this kind of effect. Even if they used their spiritual power without limit, they would still fail, or even suffer from successive major failures.

But the "gambling tool" that Star wanted to use was different. From then on, he used the "between reality and illusion" as the "gambling tool", or "dice", which was more powerful than the probability dice.

Moreover, "Between Reality and Illusion" is the most advanced item in this path, and its enhancement effect, like Sefirah Castle to the fortune teller, will be far greater than that of others.

Although, at present, he is the only extraordinary person of this path, so there is nothing to compare.
