I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 407 - 273: Aerial Acrobat, The Gods of Escape

Chapter 407: Chapter 273: Aerial Acrobat, The Gods of Escape

Chen Lun seized the fleeting gap as Terence and Lafa faced off, not giving it a second thought, and directly poured more than four hundred thousand Experience Points, all into the “great cause of leveling up.”

This was largely thanks to the massive amount of Experience Points contributed from hunting Lost Souls in the mines beneath the murky plains of the Immortal Realm with Floey, as well as the number of times players had died while delving into dungeons recently.

An invisible golden light flickered unceasingly around Chen Lun, unseen by others.

[Your Level has been raised!]

…

[Sequence Six—Aerial Acrobat LV15!]

...

[You feel an enhancement in your body! Life Points upper limit +1300, Physical Strength upper limit +400, Sanity Value upper limit +10, Strength +7, Endurance +7, Agility +15, Intelligence +15, Insight +4, Willpower +5!]

[You have gained 15 Skill Points and 15 Attribute Points!]

Ever since the “Wake of Insects” bookmark gained Howard’s power through “Absorption Evolution,” Chen Lun developed the “Wonderland Login Device” with the Wake of Insects seed, greatly increasing the interaction rate and activity of players.

As a result, during this time, players from the Circus who died in dungeons provided Chen Lun with 25 Attribute Points in a steady stream.

‘A total of 40 Attribute Points… All allocated!’ Chen Lun thought as he operated on the panel in secret.

This time, he finally truly became a Hexagonal Warrior.

In the most important four items in the basic Attributes—Strength, Agility, Endurance, and Intelligence—all were uniformly brought to 95 points, just one step shy of the Attribute threshold of 100 points for a Sequence Six Transcendent.

Then, he turned his attention to the new Skills he had acquired after advancing to an “Aerial Acrobat,” which were also the most important pillars of reliance for his upcoming plans—

[Aerial Walk LV1]

This is an advanced ability of the magic “Levitation,” allowing one to move freely in the air, ignoring gravity. In other words, it’s the power to fly through the air without any external force.

‘It overlaps with the functionality of Variegated Wings but switch the perspective, and in the future, I could remove the wing traits, freeing up a valuable memory slot.’ Chen Lun thought to himself.

Apart from [Aerial Walk], there was another Skill.

[Instantaneous Movement LV1]

This is an advanced power that combines the magic “Great Human Transformation” and “Cage Escape,” no longer requiring a prepared substitute or using distraction props to carry out Blink movements directly.

But this range is limited to within fifty meters centered on oneself.

‘Strength has risen, but not completely…’ Chen Lun made an objective assessment of his advancement.

But he had the experience from advancing to a Magician before, knowing that the Path of Destiny was tricky like this, seemingly unsatisfactory, but one needed to level up the Skills to see their true effects.

So he looked at the 30 Skill Points he had saved up and quickly added them to these two new Skills.

Both Skills capped at Level 5, but each level required 2 Skill Points. Ultimately, Chen Lun spent 16 Skill Points to max them both out.

[Instantaneous Movement LVMAX]

With this Skill at max level, the applicable range increased; now Chen Lun could Blink at will within a hundred meters from his center.

Of course, each use of Blink also consumed quite a bit of Physical Strength.

[Aerial Walk LVMAX]

This allowed Chen Lun to move faster and more freely in the air, to perform a multitude of unpredictable and bizarre trajectories. One could even say that now, fighting in the air was easier for him than on land, the sky was his home turf!

Furthermore, after [Instantaneous Movement] and [Aerial Walk] were both maxed out, a brand-new Skill was unlocked!

[Cloud Leap LV1]

Skill Description: After years of exploration and accumulation, you have honed the Aerial Acrobat’s trademark tricks to perfection. You are the darling of the sky, as well as a master of playing with the stage’s space.

You feel a certain connection has formed between you and the Spirit World, which has helped you understand the ability for long-distance leaps.

‘This is it! No wonder Her Majesty Maggie once said that I should advance to Sequence Six as soon as possible. Although I won’t discuss other aspects, the survival ability is quite decent… If even the Cat God can give such a comment, it must be an extremely powerful Skill!’ Chen Lun rejoiced inwardly, as he immersed himself in the subtleties he perceived.

[Cloud Leap] was different from regular Spirit World Shuttle; he didn’t need to spend time traveling through the Spirit World but could reach a destination hundreds or thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye, much like Blink.

The prerequisite was knowing the Spirit World coordinates of the destination, the anchor in the present world.

And this was not a concern for Chen Lun at all.

‘Add points!’

8 Skill Points were used up all at once, maxing out [Cloud Leap]!

At that moment, the Skill’s description changed.

Now, Chen Lun merely needed a conceptual impression of the destination in his mind, and he could obtain the coordinate anchor and other information of the destination through feedback from the Spirit World.

Simply put, even if Chen Lun had only seen a place once, knew of it through text descriptions, harbored a general scene and impression in his mind, or used the iconic things of that place, he could obtain the corresponding coordinate anchor.

This was a high-end Skill involving affinity with the Spirit World, Divination, Premonition, and many other Mystery Studies!

A long-distance Blink ability!

The maximum distance for each Cloud Leap was roughly between two cities.

‘With this… the plan is even more secure!’ Chen Lun thought to himself.

“The Red Apple Church…” Terence spoke faintly within the column of light.

“Do you think the Empire is unaware of your deeds in the past, Lafa?”

“Heh… Knowing and having the ability to stop are two different things. In the past hundred years, the Empire’s accumulated problems have gradually become apparent, and that is also an opportunity for other forces.”

Lafa shrugged with an indifferent attitude.

“The believers of Rose only seized this opportunity, that’s all,”

“By openly violating the ‘Oath of the Seven Gods’ and causing irreparable damage to the Empire, you pack of Beelzebub’s lackeys will certainly suffer the Sun’s punishment and repent your sins in the burning flames,”

Terence said coldly.

“It’s just a matter of mutual need; don’t make it sound so unpleasant… Terence, even if you destroy this incarnation of mine right now, it won’t cause any substantial harm to me,”

Lafa said with a laugh, looking up.

He raised his skeletal hand, extending a grotesquely white, sharp forefinger toward the silent, pale young man hiding on the side.

“I have a proposal; why don’t we kill that guy first, then we can fight. How about it?”

Following Lafa’s words and the direction of his finger, Terence and several Sun priests behind him all turned their gazes toward Chen Lun.

Those burning, Sun-like gazes seemed to have an extremely strong penetrating power, giving Chen Lun the illusion that he had nowhere to hide.

He cursed inwardly, calling Lafa a bastard.

Then he lifted his head and showed Terence and the others a polite smile.

“Your Majesty Terence, the sinner of the Red Apple Church, Lafa, planned over a dozen large-scale mystical hazardous events, violated numerous decrees in the ‘Sun Codex’ and the ‘Containment Regulations,’ and even personally destroyed Yellow Iron City, as well as Ice Glutinous Town, Oil Bean Town, and dozens of other towns and villages using his incarnation; his sins reach to the heavens and are too numerous to be recorded…

I fought against him with all my might and did not disappoint, ultimately bringing him before you. I ask for no reward or commendation, only acting as a good citizen deeply in love with the Empire, unable to bear seeing peaceful and harmonious cities and people being wantonly destroyed and killed by such a villain, and thus contributed this insignificant effort,”

Lafa, hearing Chen Lun’s words, showed a strange expression.

He had never seen such a shameless person before.

The expressions of several priests behind Terence froze, at a loss for words at that moment.

“Silver-tongued devil,”

Terence said indifferently.

“The Lamp Protector Squad of our Church was ordered to go to Amber City to suppress the fugitive Bales Wolf. They disappeared on their way to your manor, and it is now confirmed that they have all perished… Also, the glove on your right hand, it belongs to our Church.

Various clues indicate that you cannot dissociate yourself from this matter. Stop trying to embellish yourself. You are a sinner that the Church needs to judge as well,”

Chen Lun showed a look of surprise and said discontentedly:

“Your Majesty Terence, don’t wrong me without evidence… As for the trial you mentioned, pardon my frankness, it is somewhat arbitrary and unreasonable, so… I refuse.”

“Father Isaac, suppress him,”

Without wasting words, Terence commanded indifferently without turning his head.

A bearded priest behind him caressed his white robe and bowed slightly in response.

Immediately, the man took a step forward, directly conjuring three beams of golden light; three identical priests appeared in front of Chen Lun with great speed.

Their movements in unison, they all extended their right palms toward Chen Lun.

The dazzling and scorching waves of air came from those palms, seemingly filled with terrifying power.

Chen Lun once again entered his extreme state and also used his new skill, “Instantaneous Movement,” appearing behind the “three” priests.

With a full-strength flutter of his two pairs of pale wings, the dense snake-like tendrils all struck out in the same direction.

Boom!!

The scorching waves overflowed, the “three” priests’ attack failed, and they were blasted dozens of meters away by this unexpected assault, hitting the high walls of the Church district with a violent roar.

The next second, the “three” Father Isaacs burst out from the dust, but the pale silhouette they were pursuing had already vanished without a trace.

All that was left in the air was a faint phrase:

“Your Majesty Terence, you might want to deal with Lafa first; I won’t interfere, I’ll be off.”

Everyone present involuntarily fell silent for a few seconds.

Father Isaac’s brows were tightly furrowed; as a “Sequence Five – Son of Light,” he hadn’t been able to prevent the other party from escaping. He was somewhat caught off guard by such power.

“The Sequence Six of the Path of Destiny, that is the ‘Aerial Acrobat’s’ ability to traverse space,”

Terence said faintly.

“I didn’t even notice it for a moment; that’s one cunning little guy,”

Lafa seemed to realize something and let out a sneering laugh.

“Heh… I never expected that Mr. Magician would actually use us to complete his Promotion Ceremony, then talk his way out and leave us holding the bag.”

He looked up at Terence with an unmistakable sneer on his face.

“I must say, Terence, you’ve been played like a dog,”

The cutting words of Lafa made the faces of the priests present turn cold.

Insulting one of the Twelve Bishops of the Lamp Protectors is not only a sign of disrespect to the Sun Church but also a desecration of the Sun God.

They hated Lafa to the bone and simultaneously developed an intense dislike for the young man who had escaped.

This was Lafa’s purpose after all; since he was unlikely to escape, he might as well pull Chen Lun into a quagmire of hatred.

Clearly, he had succeeded.

Seeing the expressions on the priests’ faces, Lafa was delighted.

“What makes you think you are any better, Lafa… caught like a dog and dragged in front of me?”

Terence said lightly.

The smile on Lafa’s face faltered.

“Dealing with you is just a matter of a minute, and it’s not too late to catch that little guy afterward…”

Terence lightly raised his hand.

The surrounding scene was instantly covered by a distorted view of pale blue, and the battlefield directly entered the Spirit World.

At the same time, blinding sunlight fell from the sky, like golden spears cast by deities from the clouds.

Boom—!!

Lafa, looking at the heavenly punishment-like scene and the surrounding priests, twisted his face slightly.

“Damn it…”
