Chapter 867: New World Treasures (III)
All those sacrifices filled the ceiling of the Sasmara Sacrificial Ground with a massive amount of Fortune, pulsing with power and all sorts of mystical and majestic forces that were too complex for the trio to understand.
A large piece of the Fortune transformed into a bright golden energy sphere and, the next second, majestic armor appeared in the ceiling. The armor was composed of overlapping scales that shimmered with deep, iridescent crimson and black hues, and the helmet was designed to resemble the head of a snake.
Just by looking at the armor and feeling its power, Lord Zanginis was sure it was a treasure of incredible power, and through it, his strength would rise to a whole new level. However, before the old man could get too excited, the rest of the Fortune transformed into Merit and flashed into his right hand.
"Holy...."
The eyes of Lord Zanginis widened as the rune lines moving beneath his skin felt like scorching hot metal. It was extremely painful, and the old man had nearly forgotten since the last time he was in so much agony.
"It hurts like a bitch, doesn't it."
Lord Kabuto joked from the side as it was now time for Lord Zanginis to go through the pain. Although it was torturous, there was no threat, so the old man just mocked his old friend.
After a few minutes of pain, Lord Zanginis overcame the shocking agony. The only thing left was a majestic rune on the back of the old man's right hand, which glowed with simply overwhelming power.
"Congratulations. You have accumulated enough Merit to obtain the Tier I Rebirth Mark. You can now burn 25% of your life force without permanent repercussions. It will heal over time, or you can speed it up using treasures. Continue the hard work to unlock the complete Rebirth Knight Runic Set. The more precious the sacrifice, the better.
I also like evil things, so make sure to bring me sinful entities."
The same message about the flaws in his cultivation and how to fix them also appeared for Lord Zanginis, but the old man barely heard them as his eyes focused on the armor in the ceiling.
After turning to Cain and seeing that the young man signaled it was fine, Lord Zanginis immediately flooded the armor with his Ego Wave. The treasure consumed the energy, and the moment it was branded, it immediately flew toward the old man and fused with his body.
The armor covered Lord Zanginis from head to toe, and a visor mimicking the vertical pupils of a serpent appeared on the helmet, enhancing the man's intimidating presence. As soon as the armor covered his body, the Patriarch of the Zanginis Clan felt a seemingly endless flow of power running through his veins.
