2025-08-06 20:57:49Viridian did not attack immediately.
The absolute calm forged by countless client demands in his previous life allowed him to instantly suppress that primal hunting impulse born of his bloodline.
The richer the profit that made one tremble, the more meticulous the plan had to be down to the smallest detail.
He moved like a ghost melting into the darkness, gliding silently as the vampire clan’s extraordinary senses were driven to their limit.
The giant sewer crocodile before him was methodically dismantled and analyzed in his vision, completely converted into data.
[Target: Aggregate of Sin (Elite)]
[Body length: approximately 7 meters] [Primary attack methods: frontal tearing bites, tail-swing heavy blows, death rolls] [Movement traits: rapid straight-line charges, extremely slow turning] [Weaknesses: eyes, soft underbelly]His gaze swept over the giant croc's maw, capable of easily crushing steel, and finally fixed on the entangled pipes around them and the massive stone columns.
A cold, cruel curve lifted silently at the corner of Viridian's mouth.
This was not an open marsh.
This place had been tailor-made as his "training room"!
The plan took shape in zero point zero one seconds.
The next moment, he stepped out from the shadow of the stone pillar, casually picked up a chunk of rock the size of a human head, summoned all his strength, and hurled it at the crocodile's ugly skull!
"Boom!"
The stone struck precisely at the edge of the crocodile's eye socket. It wasn't very forceful, but it was horribly insulting.
"Roar—!!!"
The wrath kindled by a lowly creature's provocation ignited the century-old savagery smoldering within the monster in an instant.
Crash—!
The giant crocodile's massive body, like an out-of-control heavy truck, churned the entire pool of foul water as it lunged at Veridian with brutal force!
A reek of blood struck his face!
Three meters, two meters, one meter!
At the very moment the blood-gaping maw was about to close, Viridian suddenly kicked off the slick wall, his body defying physics as he sprang sideways and, like a bolt of lightning, darted into a narrow pipe beside him.
Crash!!!
The giant crocodile's skull slammed hard into the hard pipe entrance, scattering broken stones and unleashing a deafening roar.
At that moment, a line of pale blue text quietly appeared.
[ Ding! You used the environment to avoid a lethal attack. passive skill [Environmental Exploitation] unlocked. Current proficiency 1/100. ]
It worked!
Viridian's expression didn't change a bit; like the slickest of fish he slid out from the other end of the pipe and moved to the crocodile's rear.
However, just as he was about to try the same trick again, an unexpected turn of events occurred!
The giant crocodile didn't attempt to turn — instead that massive tail, thick as a steel whip, tore through the air with a shrill howl and whipped back with a violent crack!
Too fast! It completely exceeded his expectations!
"Bang—!"
The heavy tail whip crashed into his chest with full force, and Viridian flew backwards like a sack of rags, slamming hard into a distant wall and sliding to the ground.
[HP: 9/15]
Agony spread through every limb and bone, his sternum seeming about to split—but just as the pain reached its peak, a new system notification popped up like the most potent cardiac stimulant, brazen and abrupt!
[Ding! You have taken blunt damage. Passive skill [Impact Resistance] unlocked. Current proficiency 1/100.]
"Ptut…"
Viridian suddenly coughed up a mouthful of spit laced with clotted blood.
He lifted his head and looked at the giant crocodile laboring to pull its head out of the pipe, the expression on its face twisted from pain slowly being replaced by a more blazing, more sickly rapture.
So… it could be like this!
A brand-new, far more efficient and crazed method of "score-farming" thundered into being in his mind!
"Hey, you ugly thing."
Viridian staggered to his feet and taunted again with words.
"Roar!"
The giant crocodile roared and charged again.
This time, Veridian slipped into the pipe with practiced ease and circled to its rear. At the moment the massive tail swept toward him, instead of dodging he took a deep breath, crossed his arms over his chest, and deliberately met it head-on!
With brutal force, he absorbed the blow!
"Bang!"
[HP: 8/15]
[Ding! [Pain Resistance] proficiency +1, current proficiency: 2/100.]An unparalleled rush of pleasure instantly overwhelmed the body's pain!
This is the feeling!
Taunting, luring, circling, taking hits to absorb the damage...
What should have been a life-or-death struggle he forcibly turned into a cold, efficient harvest of proficiency!
Each attack from the giant crocodile became numbers wildly leaping across his stats. Each of its roars became a delightful accompaniment on his path to growing stronger.
"Bang!"
[HP: 7/15]
[Ding! [Resilience] proficiency +1!] [Ding! [Tough Skin] proficiency +1!]"Bang!"
[HP: 6/15]
[Ding! [Hit Resistance] proficiency +1!] [Ding! [Pain Endurance] proficiency +1!]When her HP drops below 5, Viridian will calmly pause this "game," vanish into the dark like a ghost, pounce on the fat rat carcass in the corner, siphon that meager blood to pull her health bar back to safety, and then throw herself into a new round of "training."
He moved like a tireless madman, on that filthy stage, performing self-destructive waltzes with the raging leviathan.
Time passed amid extreme agony and extreme ecstasy.
The giant crocodile's movements visibly slowed, its roars shifting from ferocity to confusion and fatigue.
And Viridian—his eyes grew brighter and madder by the moment!
The moment had come.
He looked at the panting leviathan; any hint of "play" in his eyes had vanished entirely, replaced by the cold focus of someone reaping the final harvest of a project.
Once more he lured the giant crocodile into launching its last charge.
The crocodile's skull smashed hard against a thicker stone pillar. It let out a pained wail and, driven by massive inertia, toppled over, exposing that soft, unassailed swath of gray-white belly.
Viridian's figure shot out like a black arrow loosed from a bow, all his strength, speed, and every shred of ferocity honed in this insane training condensed into a single point!
The target: the giant croc's murky right eye, slightly ajar from pain!
His sharp claws, augmented by all the practiced skill he had accumulated, precise and ruthless, plunged deep into the crocodile's eye socket, driving in up to his wrist!
"Argh—!!!"
An unprecedented, piercing, agonized howl tore through the entire sewer.
[Ping! Critical hit! Triggered critical damage!]
[Ping! [Claw Attack] proficiency +10!]
Viridian didn't pull his hand back. With his other hand he clamped hard over the giant crocodile's eye socket, sank his body down, opened his mouth, and his sharp fangs drove viciously into the softest major artery at the crocodile's neck!
"Glug! Glug!"
A torrent of energy, hotter, fouler, and far more overwhelming than that knight's blood, erupted like a volcano and thundered down his throat!The dark-blue panel before his eyes was instantly drowned by a waterfall of data!
[Warning! You are drinking the blood of the "Aggregate of Sin"! Corruption level rising rapidly!]
[The world's underlying law "Corruption of Evil" has been triggered! You have gained a massive amount of extra proficiency!]
[[Holy Light Resistance] Proficiency +200! Current: 258/300!]
[[Tough Skin] Proficiency +300! Current: 351/400!]
[[Hit Resistance] Proficiency +300! Current: 302/400!][Beginner Bite] Skill Proficiency +100!
[Blood Siphon] Skill Proficiency +150! [Environmental Utilization] Skill Proficiency +100! [Your Maximum Health +5!] [Your Constitution permanently +0.5!] [Your Strength permanently +0.3!]Viridian's body trembled violently — the ultimate ecstasy of being washed through by an immense flood of power! He could feel, clearly, his skin, muscles, and bones strengthening and reorganizing at an incredible speed!
The crocodile's struggles grew weaker and weaker, until it was nothing but a shriveled, enormous husk that collapsed with a thunderous crash. Viridian loosened his jaw, slowly straightened, feeling the brand-new power surging ceaselessly through his body.At that moment, an unprecedented prompt, suffused with blinding, consummate golden radiance, thundered into view before his eyes, occupying the center of his entire vision!
[Ding! Detected: skill [Toughened Skin] proficiency, after massive experience infusion, has broken through the current level cap!]
[[Toughened Skin] proficiency has reached MAX!]
[Conditions met, beginning talent metamorphosis...]

The Judge "Annihilation," on its smooth, featureless face, the two black hole eyes that devoured light, produced a fluctuation beyond logic for the first time.This trial was far more interesting than he had imagined.Its indifferent will swept over the holy light legion rushing toward it.Like a programmer, taking one more look at the comments before deleting a redundant piece of code.Then, it extended a finger.Or rather, from its form, a stretch of purer "nothingness" extended forth.A gentle point forward.There was no sound.No light.No collision of energy.Gabriel and the thousands of Holy Guards he led, along with the fanatical holy light upon them that could burn evil, froze in the instant they charged into the dead zone around "Extinction."Then, they began to "disappear."Not death, not decomposition.But something more absolute, an erasure from the very plane of existence.

Veridian's will was as calm as the frozen deep sea.This judgment was not sudden.Rather, it was one he personally orchestrated, a precisely crafted invitation.Three days ago.Veridian's will transformed into a "Network Ghost," infiltrating the deepest and most hidden undercurrents of information on the continent.He spread no panic, nor did he create any miracles.He merely, as an anonymous intelligence broker, leaked a message to several secret channels that were certain to be intercepted by the Ash Council.A message powerful enough to tear away the indifferent masks of the council's highest echelons."Deep within Silver Sail City, an ancient 'key fragment' associated with the 'Law of Termination' has been discovered, and its power is awakening."The bait has been cast with precision.Now, the fish has taken the hook.The sky above Silver Sail City was "stained black" without any warning.It was

Lilith is the ultimate weapon, the most crucial "key fragment."This realization froze in Viridian's mind.Passive defense, waiting for the "herbicide" of the Void to arrive, then neutralizing it with Lilith's "primal" aura — that was not his style.He was never the sort to wait for judgment.He intended to be the one to flip the board, even to seize the pieces.Inside the Saint Abyss Workshop, Viridian's thoughts ran like a quantum computer operating at breakneck speed.He began to deconstruct every concept he possessed.The Law of Termination, whose essence is the analysis and negation of concepts.
