Chapter 875: Chapter 465: The Hand of the Arsonist_3

These people had all died, and following the laboratory’s usual practice, they would soon hold a recruitment to replenish their lost personnel.

Master Owen immediately took out several divine artifacts he had captured before - but the ones in his possession were only the standards of Four and Five Mountains, seeming unsuitable for his needs. He didn’t bother examining them in detail and abandoned them.

Then, he sought out the Mesmerizing Demon. She was initially somewhat disappointed that she couldn’t help her master, but when he asked for divine artifacts, she became very happy. She immediately presented the corpse of General Brad, allowing her master to choose any divine artifacts from his body.

As an independent leading general and the second military leader of the Boneset Country in the Nanni Nation, Brad indeed had a wealthy background. Apart from the five Six Mountain Divine Creations he had used before, he had two more Six Mountain items.

The monocle glasses were only Five Mountain level.

Among them, the "Mistaken Injury Arrow" had been decrypted and seized by the Mesmerizing Demon, and the "Rain and Fog Creator" had been eaten by the Magpie. That left the Leak-proof One and the Hairdresser, as well as the "Dragon Flame Horn" that condensed four black flame wings.

The other two unused items were the "Hand of the Arsonist" and the "Ancient Corpse Mask".

The Hand of the Arsonist was a special lighter, with eight ghostly skeletal hands carved on its surface. With this divine artifact, one could ignite up to eight targets at once, and the flames would never be extinguished until the target was burned to ashes.

The flames from the Hand of the Arsonist were capable of killing any entities below the level of Six Mountain. For those above, it could also deal continuous damage.

The Ancient Corpse Mask was a sealing- type divine artifact, specifically developed to temporally restrain not-yet-subdued divine artifacts or Demon Beasts.

Owen Bertram picked up the five divine artifacts and examined them carefully, letting his spiritual sense infiltrate each. In his mind, he heard four different voices simultaneously, and each was filled with temptation: Use me, use me... You will have even greater power!

Master Owen was momentarily dazed and couldn’t help but feel alarmed. Fortunately, his own spirit was stable; otherwise, he might have been tempted.

"No wonder even the Power of Six Mountains finds it difficult to use four divine artifacts at the same time. Besides the huge cost, this kind of corrupting temptation is a significant hidden danger in battle."

Master Owen first set aside the other four items. Starting with the Hairdresser, he inspected each one individually. After some deliberation, he returned the Dragon Flame Horn, Leak-proof One, and Ancient Corpse Mask to the Mesmerizing Demon and kept the Hairdresser and Hand of the Arsonist.

He took these two divine artifacts back to the capital and entered Eden Cave to find Swordswoman, told her his thoughts, and then presented the two divine artifacts: "Your Excellency, please take a look and see which one is suitable."

The two divine artifacts floated before Swordswoman. She glanced at each of them, then the Hairdresser flew back to Owen Bertram. Her finger-tip manifested a bright and dazzling sword light, which seemed to struggle even with a Tire-8 Sword Artifact.

Her finger slowly sent the sword light into the Hand of the Arsonist. As soon as the Six Mountain Divine Creation appeared before Swordswoman, it began trembling slightly. When the sword light infused, it trembled even more violently, and its eight ghostly hands nearly shattered and dispersed.

However, under the pressure of the Tire-8 Sword Artifact, they couldn’t escape, and the sword light was eventually sealed within the Hand of the Arsonist.

Swordswoman displayed signs of exhaustion and waved her hand. The divine artifact flew towards Owen Bertram: "I need to rest, do not come looking for me anytime soon."

"Thank you, Your Excellency," Owen Bertram said gratefully, bowing down. He then left Eden Cave with the Hand of the Arsonist, examining it and praising it: worthy of a Tire-8 Sword Artifact, even I couldn’t find any trace of the sword light.

Master Owen brought out the Bat Taoist from the Ghost Zone’s Ten Percent Pawn. Unlike the Lord, the Bat Taoist still retained his self-consciousness; Owen only controlled him with the Spirit Seed.

However, the Bat Taoist seemed too weak to complete this task. After some thought, Master Owen pulled out a Tire-5 Heroic Spirit from the Ghost Army Camp, pointing his finger and connecting it to the Bat Taoist’s body, and said, "If you cannot assimilate and absorb it, then you will die from body explosion!"

The Bat Taoist complained silently but did not dare to take any chances. He hurriedly began to devour the Heroic Spirit. Master Owen used his finger again, and a profound technique flowed into the Bat Taoist’s mind. He was overjoyed and immediately began to practice according to the technique, making the absorption of the Heroic Spirit much more efficient.

What Owen Bertram bestowed upon the Bat Taoist was the "Heavenly Ghost Transformation" from the Nine Transformations of the Desolate Netherworld, which was suitable for the Bat Taoist’s cultivation. At a more advanced level, it allowed one to switch between soul body and physical body.

However, it would take hundreds of years of hard work to cultivate this technique to such a level, and the Lord didn’t have time to practice this "Heavenly Ghost Transformation" when impersonating Sanni.

Once the Bat Taoist gained the "Heavenly Ghost Transformation" and used it for seven days, he narrowly devoured the Tire-5 Heroic Spirit. During this process, he was nearly assimilated by the Heroic Spirit several times.

Afterward, the Bat Taoist successfully advanced to Tire-5, and with a solid foundation, he could potentially advance to the Tire-6 level in the future.

"I have a task for you..." Owen Bertram spoke softly, then continued, "The journey will be fraught with difficulties. I will not be able to take care of you and you must adapt to the situation. Remember: The key to success on this trip lies in choosing the right people!"

"I understand, sir." The Bat Taoist lamented inwardly, for he was unsure if he would ever be able to return to the Eastern Land after this journey.

Master Owen waved his hand and used the Breaking Void Divine Ability to send the Bat Taoist to the Nanni Nation. He reunited with the Lord, and the Ten Percent Pawn’s two old partners were back together again.
