Chapter 2630: Chapter 877: You’ve Put Off Advancing for So Long—Vampire, You’d Better Reflect on Yourself!_3

Adel being so proactive is a rare sight; given the current state of Murphy’s and Triss’s relationship, Adel always maintains a pretty sensible and well-behaved image, and her occasional intimate interactions with Murphy are just superficial.

But Murphy knows why this is happening.

E Sister is worried about him.

So he didn’t reject the display of emotion and instead reached out to embrace her waist, getting lost in the moment until a poorly-timed voice sounded at the door:

"Yo yo yo, young lovebirds playing a kissing game here, this old lady better keep her distance, lest the fickle little rascal gets annoyed."

Triss’s jealous tone made Adel jump, retreating like a frightened rabbit and disappearing into the shadows, while Murphy could only look back helplessly at the fully armed Triss.

The latter was dressed in a rather intricate and luxurious vampire-style spiritual energy robe, with nine fully activated intelligent shuttles flying around her.

Murphy is to complete the Silver Trial at the frontlines; with Triss’s protective nature, how could she let him venture alone?

Especially when all the Gold members at the frontlines have been dispatched by the lord to slay gods, the responsibility of protecting Murphy falls solely on Triss.

"Troublesome thing, if I had arrived a few minutes later, wouldn’t Adel have been..."

Triss teased:

"Given the tense situation at Klim Fortress, Shani is likely to arrive soon too, I dread to imagine what it will be like with three women and one stage around you!"

"Shani and I have nothing to do with each other, don’t talk nonsense."

Murphy replied somewhat guiltily:

"And Adel and my future is a hundred years away, that’s the promise!"

"Hehe, a promise..."

Triss said sharply, hitting the nail on the head:

"I don’t even need to activate Mindstream to hear every part of Adel’s devilish body screaming for your comfort, if she can hold on for three years, I consider her impressive. Alas, but this is inevitable, who can resist my Murphy’s allure?

However, this feast is mostly devoured by me, sharing the leftovers isn’t a big issue."

She caressed the unique miniature locket hanging on her chest, which contained the sealed creation energy, the thing shimmered faintly enveloping Triss, greatly diminishing the Midnight Mother’s call on her mind.

Murphy called this thing "Triss’s Desire Valve."

This name full of complaints fully represented Murphy’s disdain for it, ever since it came into existence, Triss had refused to spend delightful one-on-one time with him for some time.

"Hmph, it’s obvious your head is filled with filth without even guessing."

The Crimson Witch raised her finger and gave Murphy a hard tap on the forehead, avoiding Murphy’s complaints, she changed the topic and asked:

"How are your preparations for the Silver Trial? How many Ancestor’s Powers do you have? I remember you swearing to gather nine to complete your Silver Trial."

"Uh..."

This question made Murphy a bit embarrassed, he glanced at the entire page of Ancestor’s Powers options on his character card.

Apart from the ones he got from the start: Crimson Storm, Blood Slash, Dark Night Claw, Crimson Ability, there were also the Immortal shared through Secret Technique by Triss, and the special Ancestor’s Power: Time’s Elect given by the Endless One, these were Murphy’s accomplishments through his own efforts.

But aside from these, there were more ridiculous ones: Crimson Conviction, Shadow Walker, and Plundering Hand.

These three powers, just by hearing the names, are known to be the ancestral powers of the Blood Covenant Clan, Thorn Clan, and Blood Fear Clan.

But that’s not all!

On the players’ side, there are contributions like "Annihilation" from Giant Shark, "Blood Battle Aura" from Sister Pomegranate, "Crimson Spiritual Body" from Cheche, "Wind Slash" from Brother Cat, "Crimson Summon" from Brother Meow, "Blade of Elimination" from Niu Niu, "Soul Link" from Little Brother Fu, "Shadow Dance" from Ya Ya, and a series of new understandings from players’ exploration of power creating new Ancestor’s Powers.

The characteristic of these powers is that they are mostly in the "completion" stage, belonging to newly emerged power interpretations, Murphy could reference them, but he couldn’t use them for the promotion of the Silver Trial, otherwise, it would easily lead to exploitable weaknesses due to incomplete power interpretations.

Triss saw the curious expression on Murphy’s face, sensing a change, she immediately pursued:

"How many Ancestor’s Powers do you have exactly? Tell the truth! Murphy, this is no joking matter!"

"Uh..."

Murphy hesitated again for a moment, considering Triss was his closest, he couldn’t continue to hide it, so he held out three fingers and shook them.

"More than? 30?!"

Triss was utterly stunned, and Murphy corrected academically:

"39...and if I delay a little longer, with more players breaking through the Silver Rank, surely more innovative ideas regarding power usage will be fed back to me, I estimate breaking through 300+ is not impossible."

The Crimson Witch thought she had seen everything in her life, but this scene before her was something she truly hadn’t encountered.

This made her only hold her head and exclaim:

"Did you misread? How can there be so many? My god, now the fusion difficulty of these 39 Ancestor’s Powers already exceeds the limit you can control..."

"Ah?"

Murphy responded in surprise:

"Wasn’t it said that I can select some as the main body for power fusion?"

"You can select!"

Triss said exasperatedly:

"But different Ancestor’s Powers will affect each other! Do you understand? These are all power interpretations, and if you want to derive your interpretation from them, you must undergo such influence.

The more choices, the greater the difficulty... 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Murphy!

You’ve made a mess for yourself!

If I knew it would be like this, I should’ve forced you to complete the Silver Trial! By the Midnight Mother, you really are a... Ah, damn! I called its name, and it’s howling again.

Why are you standing there?

Take off your clothes!

Damn it, watch me give you a good lesson for being a naughty little brat."
