Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 40: The Multitalented Cat

The battle erupted in an instant.

However, it wasn’t quite as the Starfire Sect members had anticipated. It was they who were attacked first.

Almost the moment Troy’s words left his mouth, two Starfire Sect members let out bloodcurdling screams, their bodies splitting apart into several pieces in midair, as if they had been ripped apart by a ferocious beast’s claws.

What the hell?

An incredulous thought flashed through the minds of all the Starfire Sect members.

Before they could comprehend what was happening, two more of their companions were flung into the air with a bang, their bodies contorting into bizarre and unnatural angles. Gruesome bone-breaking sounds emanated from within them, and after landing, they only twitched once before lying still.

Troy finally realized what was happening, shouting in a mix of shock and anger, “Something’s hidden nearby, be on your guard!”

However, these words did little besides instill fear in his subordinates. They had no idea where the hidden enemy was, nor how to defend against or attack it. They could only watch helplessly as their comrades were torn apart, their bones shattered, their bodies contorted, their agonizing cries echoing into the night.

In a mere three or four breaths, more than ten Starfire Sect members had been killed. The rest were pale, trembling with fear.

“Damn it!”

Troy gritted his teeth, watching this scene unfold. He spun around and charged towards Su Nan.

“Take out that guy first!”

Ryan had also finally realized that this bizarre situation was definitely Su Nan’s doing.

Let’s kill this guy first!

Facing the two men charging towards him with murderous intent, Su Nan remained calm and collected. Without hesitation, he hurled a rune gem.

With a whoosh, the gem erupted with a blazing red light in midair, transforming into a raging wave of flames that engulfed Ryan.

Ryan’s martial energy shield lasted less than a breath before shattering, followed by the flames engulfing his entire body, instantly turning him into a towering pillar of fire.

“Aaaaah!”

Amidst his heart-wrenching screams, the Great Knight was quickly incinerated into ash.

Troy on the other side watched, his scalp tingling, his body chilled to the bone.

While Ryan wasn’t as strong as him, he was still a junior Great Knight. Yet he was instantly killed in a single encounter. The mysterious individual’s methods were terrifying!

Seeing Su Nan’s gaze turn towards him, a sense of fear, as if his heartstrings had been tightened, suddenly surged within Troy. He turned on his heel and fled.

He had figured it out. This person was simply not someone they could handle!

Even if they threw their lives at him, they wouldn’t be able to defeat him!

To retrieve the divine blood potion, they had to return and seek the help of the Priest!

However, upon turning around, Troy was horrified to find that his entire force had been wiped out, the ground littered with severed limbs and bodies, blood staining the scene in a gruesome sight.

Moreover, the surrounding area was empty, and the monstrous figure was still nowhere to be seen.

An ominous feeling suddenly crept into Troy’s heart.

Sure enough, the next instant, a powerful and heavy force struck him from the side, crashing down on him like a tidal wave!

Boom!

Troy was sent flying like a cannonball, landing a hundred meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with flesh.

Ignoring the throbbing pain, he roared as he scrambled to his feet, quickly dashing forward.

However, something was even faster than him. A streak of lightning!

A streak of lightning that tore through the night sky, traversing over a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, striking his back!

Crackle!

Countless electric arcs exploded, engulfing Troy’s entire body in an instant!

When the blinding electric light faded, Troy was lying motionless, charred and lifeless.

From afar, Su Nan calmly withdrew his hand.

Against Great Knight-level enemies, both zero-ring spells and simple control of energy particles were quite limited in effectiveness.

The true combat methods he could pull out were the rune gems.

A single rune gem was enough to instantly kill a junior Great Knight.

If the cost weren’t so high, Su Nan would have considered rune gems as his regular combat methods.

“Meow, Su Nan, you’re so awesome!”

Amy materialized out of thin air at Su Nan’s feet, gazing at him with admiration.

So many bad guys, all gone with a swoosh!

So cool!

“By the way, was that big guy who could hide your pet?” Amy asked curiously.

Su Nan was surprised. “You can see the Stealthy Dragon?”

“Yeah yeah.” Amy nodded vigorously. “Master said my perception is very sharp, and I can see many things others can’t.”

“Something like the True Sight ability,” Su Nan mused.

Realizing he had been discovered, the Stealthy Dragon no longer concealed himself, revealing his form and looking Amy up and down with wide eyes.

Amy instantly puffed up, hiding behind Su Nan with a swift swoosh.

“Meow, don’t eat me, Amy isn’t delicious!”

Su Nan was stunned. Just now, he indeed sensed through the magical companion contract the Stealthy Dragon’s thoughts: ‘This cat looks delicious.’

“Can you sense the thoughts of other creatures?”

Amy huddled behind Su Nan and said, “Not meow, but I can sense other people’s malice towards me.”

He actually has this ability?

Su Nan suddenly realized.

He had previously thought Amy was too naive and innocent, approaching a stranger with no reservations, and answering every question.

Now it seemed that because he sensed no malice from Su Nan, Amy had no guard at all.

Su Nan couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. Fortunately, when he saw the divine blood crystal and the space-type magical item that looked like a bell, he hadn’t felt any greed. Otherwise, Amy would have probably run away by now.

However, this little cat is too multitalented.

Space warping, True Sight-like abilities, and now add to that a malice detection ability, the number of quasi-magical abilities he possesses is really quite a lot.

Moreover, who knows if he has even more quasi-magical abilities?

After pondering for a while, Su Nan walked over to Ryan’s corpse and searched him, finding a statue on his person.

Ryan had used this statue to deduce that the divine blood crystal was on Su Nan.

Perhaps the reason why those people were able to accurately determine his location in the room was also due to this statue.

The moment he held the statue, Su Nan heard the familiar murmuring sound again.

Suppressing the mental pollution, he examined it carefully.

But this didn’t seem like a magical item. He couldn’t figure out how to use it based on its enchanted runes. After studying it for a long time, he still couldn’t figure anything out.

With no choice, Su Nan crushed the statue, and inside, he found a divine blood crystal.

“Now I have two.”

Su Nan happily placed both divine blood crystals into the cube, then looked at the synthesis interface.

【Divine Blood Crystal, divine blood content: 0.1 milliliter. Carrying it on your person can increase your attraction to energy particles, but it has a certain level of mental pollution. Long-term close contact can cause changes in thought and cognition, leading to a fanatical devotion to the source of the divine blood.】

After synthesis, the words ‘fanatical devotion’ in the description of the divine blood crystal were missing the word ‘intense.’

This confirmed Su Nan’s earlier guess. Synthesis could indeed reduce the side effects.

“Next, I just need to find enough divine blood crystals, and I can synthesize an item that greatly increases my meditation efficiency!”

A joyful smile spread across Su Nan’s face.
