[Fallen God Art: God Technique Arrays - Vital Burial]

Active Skill

Mastering Requirements: Fertile Sect Oathbreaker Maeve Xiangluan, Fertility Magic Specialization Level 40, Intelligence 230, Faith Value cap ＞3000

Consumption/Restriction: 1000 Magic Points, 1300 Faith Value, 20% of current Health Points, presence of at least eighteen [Twisted Seeds] within caster’s range

Effect: Arrange [Twisted Seeds] in the form of [God Technique Array·Growth], suppress the vital signs of all living units in the designated area for five minutes, attaching [Decline], [Exhaustion], [Parasitism], [Sluggishness], [Confusion], [Phantom Pain] effects, and reduce all attributes by 15%; during the skill’s duration, the user can attach [Life Burial Beacon] to any target within the God Technique Array range, replacing the area effect of [God Techinque Array·Life Burial] with an individual effect, granting the specified target an additional [Deprivation of Life] effect, and further reducing their all attributes by 15%; cooldown time 720 minutes.

[Remark: Maeve... had already died a long time ago...]

...

Clearly, this skill isn’t something that Double Leaf can easily comprehend, but even so, looking from a player’s perspective, she can still effortlessly control this highly stylish exclusive function.

Quickly, despite Fourteen’s cautious stance which rendered Double Leaf’s earlier ’preparation’ useless, he likewise could not prevent the activation of the God Technique Array. Within seconds, countless twisted thorns sprouted from the [Twisted Seeds], thoroughly transforming the floating ’stakes’ into firm [Twisted Seeds]. The eerie dark purple aura immediately spread out, transforming into some kind of intangible substance that clung to Fourteen’s robust body in the next moment.

"Hmm..."

With some exertion, Fourteen lifted his right hand, squinted his pupil-less eyes to carefully observe his arm. Though still glimmering, it gradually turned a dark purple shade, and he murmured gently, "Interesting... eh?"

The hoarse voice squeezed out from his chest startled him, and the eyes, difficult to read any emotion, gradually dimmed.

Just as the skill description stated, as the guiding target of the [Life Burial Beacon], Fourteen was being swiftly deprived of life energy, and within a few seconds, his well-defined muscles shriveled.

Unlike elements which are relatively clear and understandable, from an objective perspective, ’Divine Arts’ are always ambiguous. Compared to the straightforward effects of magic, most Divine Arts possess multiple traits.

Take Motan’s most familiar [Solidifying Light Arrow] as an example; it combines the ’temperature’ of Fire Element, the ’gentleness’ of Water Element, and the conceptual ’Exorcism’.

Maeve Xiangluan’s [God Technique Array·Life Burial] is a ’twisted’ Divine Art, yet it retains this trait. In an instant, it achieved outstanding results on Fourteen.

Neither Motan, who is quite knowledgeable in Divine Arts, nor the magical genius Double Leaf in the world of Realm of Innocence, could offer any explanation for this skill.

But as they couldn’t explain it, considering the player’s privileged identity, Double Leaf eventually successfully completed the skill release, achieving the first step of their plan to ’de-energize Fourteen in a short time and greatly reduce his body’s resistance’.

Immediately—

Whoosh!

Motan swiftly lifted his right hand, shooting a concealed poisoned arrow from under his bandages straight at Fourteen’s heart.

"Don’t underestimate me..."

Despite his figure stooping under the suppression of the God Technique Array, Fourteen deftly raised his right hand, lightly pinching the arrow with his index and middle fingers, emitting a fragrant aroma, and sneered, "If it’s only this level, then..."

"Of course it won’t just be this level."

Motan smiled slightly, cutting off Fourteen’s hoarse sarcasm with a light heart.

At that moment, accompanied by a barely perceptible ’pop’, the ground under Fourteen’s left foot suddenly loosened.

"I see."

Though he quickly lifted his left foot, upon seeing a long needle wrapped with several twisted tendrils and stained with blue spots of blood, the unperturbed Fourteen realized he had been hit, and then directly asked Motan, "What is this?"

"Poison needle."

Motan’s response was terse.

Fourteen nodded slightly, glanced at his left leg that had started trembling unknowingly, and curiously asked, "What kind of poison?"

"A toxin that is mostly ineffective for the majority but causes great harm to certain individuals."

Motan took a deep breath, replying solemnly, "Do you remember that ’Black Anna’ antidote? The principle isn’t actually to detoxify us but to attract ’Black Anna’ within everyone to a toxic spore, then..."

"Really?"

Fourteen smiled interrupting Motan, licking his chapped lips, and repeated, "Really?"

Motan was initially stunned, then furrowed his brows and retorted, "Can it be true?"

"No, it might indeed be true."

Fourteen shook his head, his gaze sharpening, "But the problem is, that ’toxic spore’ thing you mentioned, I had already dealt with it half a month ago, yet I’m now still affected by your poison needle."

"Oh dear..."

Motan sheepishly chuckled, awkwardly spreading his hands after a long silence, "I originally planned to confuse you and stall for time, but I didn’t think you’d see through it so quickly."

Fourteen also spread his hands, chuckling similarly, "If you had used a different story, I certainly wouldn’t have doubted it. So... what exactly is this toxin?"

Motan candidly shook his head, without hesitation replying, "No comment."

"Haha, it seems you aren’t as confident as I imagined."

Fourteen’s complexion darkened, his body trembling as he steadied himself again, and asked with a laugh, "Can this poison kill me?"

Motan maintained keen vigilance, shaking his head and seriously stating, "Impossible; though this poison needle is certainly domineering, in my view, as soon as Maeve’s Divine Art loses effectiveness, even if Mr. Fourteen does nothing, the toxin within will gradually be neutralized and dissipated."

"I see."

Fourteen looked helplessly as the luster on his skin faded, then softly said after a long silence, "So, what’s your real final blow?"

Motan was about to speak when Double Leaf, suddenly emerging from behind him, stopped him with a raised hand.

"No more stalling."

Maeve, pale and weak, smiled and locked her gaze on Fourteen, speaking warmly, "The real final blow is ready."

"Oh?"

Fourteen nodded slightly, observing the massive Divine Art Array behind Maeve, now exposed in the air without arcane concealment, "It seems you are confident, Lady Maeve."

"Not confident, really."

Double Leaf dryly chuckled, twitching at the corners of her mouth, "It’s just, if this doesn’t work, we both have to concede..."

Meanwhile, a grey-white ’stake’ like object etched with intricate carvings slowly emerged from the God Technique Array behind her, drilling into the outside world.
