Chapter 135, Sequence Five, Completed
Then Altair turned to the children and said to them, "I hope we can actually meet in real life someday."
After saying goodbye to everyone, she immediately felt her astral body rise again, breaking through the edge of the hazy world.
She saw her dream as a giant bubble growing from the "island of consciousness," quietly enveloping it.
The area around this bubble is hazy, and other bubbles can be vaguely seen in the distance. Below those bubbles, there is often a consciousness island.
In the hazy depths lies a silent, shimmering, illusory ocean with an unseen bottom.
Seeing this scene, Altair couldn't help but exclaim, "The 'sea of the collective unconscious' is truly magnificent! Is this the special perspective of the 'dream traveler'—the way they can see the inner world of others?"
After browsing through the images, Altair reluctantly withdrew his gaze, no longer lingering, and returned to reality, leaving the dream world behind.
They called Vivian, who was standing at the door, back to sleep, and then the two of them fell into a deep sleep again.
On November 30, 1347, at dusk, under the full moon, Altair picked up the materials beside him and began to prepare—
He drank the "Crimson Scholar" potion and completed the secondary pathway, the Moon Path, advancement.
On December 5, 1347, in the evening, after Altair finished assembling the specially made astronomical telescope beside him, he asked Adam, "Is it necessary? I am only observing the stars, not looking at them."
Adam stood to the side, nodding seriously, and said, "I think it's absolutely necessary."
After taking a deep breath, Altair stopped talking about the topic and started calibrating the star finder. He casually asked, "How is stargazing going in this world? How many stars are known to people? Can we still use the ones that have been observed in the old world?"
"There are millions of stars, the exact number is unrecorded and cannot be verified. There are about 100,000 deep-space objects—the Old World can use the observed celestial objects for advancement, but they are not the best choice," Adam replied calmly.
Altair nodded, then asked, "Do you have any personal advice for my promotion to astronomer?"
"No." Adam shook his head.
-
After Altair finished adjusting the specially made telescope, he ignored Adam and began observing the starry sky on his own.
After more than half an hour of observation and random naming, Altair's spirituality finally gave her an insight that she could advance.
She looked up, wanting to share her joy with someone, but there was no one around.
Seeing this, Altair thought to himself, "Do you even have any humanity at all, or are you just pretending?"
After disassembling the astronomical telescope, Altair returned to the underground laboratory, retrieved the materials he had prepared, and began to concoct the potion.
Main material: "Astrologer" extraordinary characteristics.
It is a sheet-like crystal covered with mysterious cracks and sparkling stars.
Auxiliary materials: 200 ml of Star-Scarred Elephant Blood, 3 pieces (fragments) of the ordinary shell of the Enchanted Giant Turtle, 1 set of convex and concave mirrors, 10 drops of Starflower Dew. After pouring the potion from the pot into the beaker, Altair will obtain a cup of liquid reflecting the dreamy starry sky.
Calming his mind, Altair drank the potion in one gulp. After it was fully absorbed, he arrived at the Spirit Realm Castle and began his transformation.
As time passed, and after the defects no longer appeared on Altair's body, she returned to reality.
I began to experience my new abilities.
First, the fifth sequence of the Witch Path, the core ability of the Witch of Pain.
"Disease Domain": Creatures within fifty meters will slowly become infected, starting with basic skin allergies, colds, and fevers, which can escalate into severe pneumonia within twenty or thirty seconds—and a stroke within two or three minutes—
"Charm": Influenced by abilities such as "Dreamwalker," "Modification," "Vampire," "Blood Servant Transformation," "Beastmaster," and "Animal Senses," it was transformed into an active skill and a passive ability. Altair, for the sake of simplicity, named it:
The active ability "Beast Taming" requires her to act like a beast tamer, taking the initiative to enter the fray, taming creatures, and making them follow her wholeheartedly.
However, this ability has a major drawback: it requires dealing with the beast's counterattack on your own.
As for what kind of counterattack that would be, she felt disgusted just thinking about it. What good counterattack could someone who had been seduced possibly have!
Passive ability "Influence": Anyone whose spirituality is not higher than hers and who does not have special protective abilities will gradually be influenced and controlled by her charm, and will submit to her as their master. This ability is very gentle and covert, and is not easy to detect. It is suitable for use on lower levels.
"Guidance" has become somewhat combined with "Crimson Scholar's" "Nightmare Resistance," resulting in her now being a natural counter to this path. As long as the opponent is not one sequence higher than her, she can guide them in the opposite direction, making them reveal their innermost secrets.
As for restrictions, they remain the same as always: the device can only be used after the other person has fallen asleep, unless she actively intervenes using abilities such as "charm and hypnosis".
"Dream Travel" is combined with "Crimson Scholar's" "Moonlight Transformation" and "Flash," allowing her body to become ethereal at night. Under the moonlight, she can freely travel and flash within 500 meters, jumping into other people's dreams.
The simplest and most efficient way for the enemy to interrupt this special state targeting her spirit is to do so. For physical attacks, they would need to find her, stabilize her physical state, and then deliver a swift and decisive blow.
Without moonlight, it can only become ethereal and enter the dream world. But please don't forget that "Crimson Scholars" can "create" it themselves.
The full moon shines.
As for the final "full moon," it combines with the astronomer's "false celestial phenomena," "blessing of the stars," and "curse of the stars" to form the "false heaven."
"The False Heaven":
The first layer of effect is to create a false celestial phenomenon that can confuse the enemy, interfere with the target's astrology, and bring about false changes in the celestial phenomena.
Of course, it's not entirely an illusion; the most crucial anomalies within a hundred-meter radius are real, such as tides and electromagnetic disturbances.
The second effect is to attract starlight and change the gravity acting on the target or the area within it.
By gathering starlight and rubbing rays by hand, one can inflict various effects such as weakness, mutation, and injury.
The third layer: The first effect is: "Creating a Full Moon" changes a certain area nearby to a full moon state, with moonlight shining, spiritual growth, enhanced inspiration, and increased power over death.
The second effect is to conceal the "full moon" state, allowing the spirit to remain unaffected by the "full moon" and return to normal.
In addition to these, Altair's original supple and agile physical strength, dark magic, curses, potion effects, and extraordinary item creation abilities have all been enhanced to some extent.
