Chapter 894: Chapter 206: Quadruple Power Patterns

The little fox and butterfly ended up not returning for the night, and Liu Shock waited for them through an entire Eastern dawn. For Liu Shock, staying up for three to five days was quite normal; he usually slept only once every two or three days. The elder of Andulan even joked that Lord Overlord would only live to thirty because he slept far less than an ordinary person, almost as if he lived his whole life’s worth of days at once.

The militia were also somewhat worried about the safety of the two madams, but according to the results of three Biao people warriors surveying by flying into the sky every half hour, it was evident that a grand ball was indeed being held within the Royal Palace. Beamon court ceremonies, unlike those of humans, were all held in the open air of the Imperial Garden, so it was quite easy to see everything clearly from the air.

Liu Shock had finally managed to lull the princes to sleep and had traced several tattoos on himself. The tattoo craftsmanship of the Sea Ditch Rainbow Tribe was truly extraordinary. Among the Beamon, there were two great tattoo masters; the Hedgehog people of the Sea Ditch Rainbow Tribe practiced a heavy, blood-drawing needle technique, resulting in tattoos that were clearer and more three-dimensional, suitable for fierce creatures; the porcupine people of the Pigiel race preferred needle diagrams, covering the entire design in one go, resulting in smoother, softer lines appropriate for more graceful designs. However, both these master tattooist races had a flaw—lacking sufficient artistic cells, they required pre-drawn templates, and Beamon’s best template artist was none other than Tang White Tiger from the Taige Tribe.

Of course, Liu Shock had no need to plead with any White Tiger people, since despite his lack of education, he had a gift for painting and calligraphy. Although not classically immortal, his creations carried a distinct stark and bold style. Many similar to him on the Aegean Continent could carve lifelike sculptures, recognized only as stonemasons in their lifetimes. However, if they carved something from Hetian jade, they would surely be acclaimed as masters.

The tattoo designs were something Liu Shock had prepared a few days ago, spending nearly two nights on them. In the world of blood mages, no one could achieve the level of ’forceful patterns’ like Liu Shock had. Even if they could, it’s doubted anyone would come up with such a clever method to enhance their Magic Shield, which, being a basic shield, could at most block only high-level magic, nothing compared to the massive shields he could summon himself.

Liu Shock’s approach was truly a poor man’s solution.

When Lord Overlord showed the two sets of tattoo designs to Cheni, the chieftain of the Hedgehog people, the timid hedgehog was so frightened that he squatted down abruptly.

Goodness gracious!

On a piece of reed paper, a tiger descending a mountain was depicted, immensely robust with glaring fangs. When unfolded, the drawing hit you with a stench of blood. Engulfed by four harmonious elements—a green stone, a bright moon, a flowing waterfall, and an ancient pine—the aura of the stalking tiger not only wasn’t diminished but became even more fierce.

The so-called descending mountain tiger was referred to as a man-eater. Chieftain Cheni felt chills looking at the malevolent eyes of the tiger in the drawing. This design was certainly meant for the back. Normally, people would take about a month to get this large design inked by the heavy needling technique of the Sea Ditch Rainbow Tribe due to the pain and bleeding, but Lord Overlord’s physique was clearly an exception.

The other set of tattoo designs were words written by Lord Overlord himself using a wolf hair brush he made. To make the brush suitable for writing, the tail of Rovi the Biao person had not suffered lightly. Liu Shock had pondered long about what words to ink; he had secretly wanted to ink some words, but it seemed a waste to dedicate his entire arms to just a few words. The other words that came to his mind were just a few well-worn quotes from a red book. Fortunately, the phrases "In the vast land under the sky, who decides the rise and fall?" and "Remember when, amidst the rushing water at midstream, the waves stopped our boat?" were clearly remembered, as he had once won a bet with his brother over this piece of poetry. Thus, he finally settled on these words.

These two grand phrases were tattooed on his left and right arms, respectively. Liu Shock’s left arm had been amputated at the elbow, leaving just enough space for one row of text.

After finishing these two sets of tattoos, more than five hours had already passed. Cheni had broken twelve needles just from the heavy needling, and the linen cloth he used to wipe the blood had long turned into a soaked bundle of red cloth.

Seeing that everyone in the bar inn had gone to rest, Lord Overlord thought for a moment and decided to sneakily bring out another drawing for Cheni to continue tattooing on each of his legs.

Cheni truly admired his boss’s stamina, already tattooed so abundantly and yet enduring the pain with such rapid progress.

The drawing sneakily taken out was indeed not something to be flaunted openly in broad daylight. Chieftain Cheni eyed the drawing of two fairies, drooling a bit, and even gave Lord Overlord a playful little pat, commenting that the drawing had a Renaissance style.

Liu Shock was no more knowledgeable than Hedgehog Cheni; he had no idea about Renaissance-style art.

After completing the tattooing of two celestial maidens from the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, dawn had already broken. Chieftain Cheni couldn’t help admiring his own work; halfway through the process, he couldn’t bear to continue the rapid tattooing. Such swift, heavy needling could only be endured by Lord Overlord without a single whimper. The invisible ink used for tattooing—made from pigeon blood and fireflies mixed in a special proportion—was nearly used up by then.
