Chapter 330 - Chapter 330 Chapter 280 Weaving Rewards

Chapter 330: Chapter 280 Weaving Rewards Chapter 330: Chapter 280 Weaving Rewards Everyone looked at Ash, who was sitting on the red leather armchair.

At this moment, Ash was just wearing a dark red overcoat with his legs crossed. He wasn’t foolish enough to wear a mask indoors, and underneath the overcoat, he wore pajamas and had slippers hooked on his feet. Compared to the others, he was practically a landslide at the Funeral Service Office.

However, the familiarity in his brows and eyes, matching clothing and equipment, and most importantly, the Gospel Book, which named and shamed, left everyone no choice but to admit that the mysterious and domineering man in the number one portrait on the “Art Chart” was none other than Ash Heath before them!

“Have you really kept the overcoat/mask for over fifty years!?” Igula and Liss exclaimed in unison.

“Cough, cough!” Harvey choked on his smoke and looked bewilderedly at this charming and youthful pair–your focus is so strange that even a Necromancer finds it odd.

Ash was also a bit puzzled, but soon a smile crept over his face, “Wait, doesn’t that mean both the young lady and I can receive the exclusive rewards for the rankings?”

“Rewards? Now is not the time to care about rewards!”

Hanna Doran gave a wry smile, “Banjee!”

The Housekeeper boy understood immediately and left. Liss asked curiously, “Isn’t it a good thing for sister and dad to be on the list?”

Hanna sighed and was about to say something, but both her and Ash’s Gospel Books suddenly shot out two rays of light, one landing on the Purple Moth, imprinting patterns on her left eye and tongue; the other sinking into the cult leader’s body, causing his dark red overcoat to swell and flow as if alive.

“Hanna Doran receives the rewards ‘Catastrophe Vision’ and ‘Tongue of Relief’.”

“Catastrophe Vision: The holder will henceforth be able to recognize catastrophe and no longer bring disaster home.”

“Tongue of Relief: The holder may terminate any Contract verbally, as long as both parties are willing.”

“Ash Heath receives the rewards ‘Demon Overcoat’ and ‘Distorted Mask’.”

“Demon Overcoat: All sapient beings that lay eyes on the holder for the first time will undergo a mental test. The higher the Spirit Faction of the holder, the lower the Spirit Faction of the onlooker, the more difficult the test; conversely, the easier it is. Should the test fail, the onlooker will receive a Mind Suggestion, unable to harbor any malice towards the holder.”

“Distorted Mask: Distorts all detection results about the holder, and all sapient beings will notice the holder first glance. This effect persists regardless of whether the mask is worn, always in effect.”

Starting from the third rank, the awards for those on the Art Chart are typically double, or if it’s a single award, it would be extremely potent.

However, nobody expected the reward delivery to be so blunt, shooting directly from the Gospel Book and onto the ranker’s body as if it were a factory direct sale.

To everyone’s eyes, Ash seemed to be wearing a mask that fit as if the mask was the main body and Ash was just an ornament to the mask, but as soon as they shifted their gaze away, the mask would disappear again;

Hanna’s pupils were covered by complex violet ghostly patterns that, at first glance, could be mistaken for purple pupils, but a closer look revealed dense, maddeningly intricate patterns that could drive trypophobes insane!

“Is this… the reward from the Weaving Festival?” Hanna muttered softly.

She covered her right eye and scanned the room with her left, noticing a layer of different colored halos around everyone. Since this eye was called Catastrophe Vision, she tentatively named this sight Catastrophe Vision as well.

Harvey’s halo was a sickening moss green, unattractive but not highly dangerous; Igula’s halo was a clear dark red, seemingly pretty and irresistibly inviting at first glance, but the core was a murky darkness that was bone-chilling; Liss’s halo was seven-colored, fluctuating between darkness, deep red, pure white, and sky blue, making it baffling to discern.

However, what Hanna cared about most at the moment was naturally her future portrait model, Ash Heath!

Among all present, Ash’s halo was the thickest, so dense it almost obscured the halos of others. But his halo was also the most unique in color, like undulating rainbow waves, leaving Hanna completely unable to judge his level of danger by the color of his halo!

“Distorting all detection results about the holder”… The effect of the ‘Distorted Mask’ actually overshadows the ‘Catastrophe Vision’!?

Hanna’s face became shaded with gloom, and when she opened her right eye, the world in front of her returned to normal, and the halos around each person faded away.

Seeing with both eyes provided normal vision, while using only the left eye provided Catastrophe Vision. The Gospel Book was quite user-friendly in this aspect–if Catastrophe Vision were active at all times, it would affect normal life too much.

At this point, she realized everyone was looking at her. Igula asked, “What did you see with Catastrophe Vision?”

“Now’s not the time to talk about this.” Hanna shook her head, “Everyone pack up, I’m only giving you 15 minutes. We’ll leave here in 15 minutes.”

“Why?” Ash said in astonishment, “It couldn’t be because of me, could it? The Gospel Book didn’t say anything about me, and they surely can’t suspect that I’m the source of the catastrophe…”

“Actually, the Gospel Book did say so. Look at the product description, where there’s a long string of texts praising dad’s great achievements.” Liss raised her hand and said, “It’s just concealed by dad’s power, the descriptive text has all been wiped clear. Dad, you’re so powerful!”

“And it’s not just about the painting itself.” Igula said, “Look at the young lady’s exclusive reward, the meaning of ‘Catastrophe Vision’ is mocking the young lady for bringing a disaster like you home, and ‘Tongue of Relief’ is urging her to end the Contract with you quickly and to kick you out. Goodbye Ash, I’ll visit your cardboard box under the bridge in the future.”
