||
|
||
Max caught the scroll and read its name.
|
||
|
||
"Crimson Havoc Fist: Sevenfold Slaughter Technique."
|
||
|
||
The moment he held the scroll—
|
||
|
||
He felt it.
|
||
|
||
A cold, eerie aura pulsed from within it.
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes narrowed.
|
||
|
||
"What’s so dangerous about it?"
|
||
|
||
His voice was calm, but he was genuinely curious.
|
||
|
||
The blob’s expression remained grave, its liquid body shifting uneasily.
|
||
|
||
Then, in a solemn tone, it spoke—
|
||
|
||
"Master mentioned that this fist technique requires one to possess Slaughter Aura before even attempting to practice it."
|
||
|
||
Max’s brows furrowed.
|
||
|
||
The blob continued—
|
||
|
||
"If someone doesn’t have Slaughter Aura but still tries to practice it… then they will inevitably lose themselves to the technique."
|
||
|
||
Max’s grip on the scroll tightened.
|
||
|
||
"They will go mad—controlled by the slaughter aura inside the technique, losing all human emotions."
|
||
|
||
Max felt a chill run down his spine.
|
||
|
||
"In the end…"
|
||
|
||
The blob’s voice was eerily quiet as it delivered the final words.
|
||
|
||
"They would become nothing more than a puppet—one that only knows how to slaughter. A puppet of pure destruction."
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes widened in shock.
|
||
|
||
"A Technique That Controls the User?"
|
||
|
||
He had never expected that a technique could be this dangerous.
|
||
|
||
And now, he was holding one in his hands.
|
||
|
||
A technique so deadly, it could strip a person of their mind, emotions, and will—turning them into a mindless slaughtering machine.
|
||
|
||
His voice was filled with disbelief as he looked at the blob.
|
||
|
||
"How could a technique control someone?"
|
||
|
||
A short pause—
|
||
|
||
Then, he added—
|
||
|
||
"That sounds absurd!"
|
||
|
||
The blob shook its head, its expression grim.
|
||
|
||
"There is nothing absurd about it."
|
||
|
||
Max listened carefully, sensing the weight behind the blob’s words.
|
||
|
||
"Slaughter Aura is one of the many forbidden auras in this world."
|
||
|
||
A short pause—
|
||
|
||
Then, the blob’s voice deepened.
|
||
|
||
"It is born from the accumulation of endless bloodshed and carnage."
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes narrowed.
|
||
|
||
The blob’s form trembled slightly, as if recalling something unpleasant.
|
||
|
||
"It is very dangerous because it gradually corrodes the wielder’s sanity, pushing them into an endless thirst for bloodshed and destruction."
|
||
|
||
Max felt a chill.
|
||
|
||
"The more one relies on it, the more it seeps into their soul—"
|
||
|
||
"Turning them into little more than a mindless beast driven by slaughter."
|
||
|
||
The blob’s voice grew colder.
|
||
|
||
"Those who cannot resist its influence eventually lose themselves."
|
||
|
||
Max remained silent, absorbing every word.
|
||
|
||
"They become nothing more than war-driven monsters—unable to distinguish friend from foe."
|
||
|
||
A long pause.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
"Therefore, there are only a handful of people in history who have ever comprehended Slaughter Aura."
|
||
|
||
The blob’s eyes darkened.
|
||
|
||
"And even they were… more or less had gone insane."

|
||
The blob turned to Max, its liquid body rippling.
|
||
|
||
"But there is a 99% chance that anyone who tries to comprehend this aura will go mad—never to recover again in their life."
|
||
|
||
Its eyes turned sharp adding—
|
||
|
||
"And this technique… possesses the Concept of Slaughter itself."
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes widened in disbelief.
|
||
|
||
"Concept of Slaughter?"
|
||
|
||
His voice was quiet, but the shock in his tone was unmistakable.
|
||
|
||
He understood better than anyone—
|
||
|
||
An Aura was powerful.
|
||
|
||
But a Concept…
|
||
|
||
A Concept was an entirely different realm of power.
|
||
|
||
’It’s like comparing a vast ocean of water… to a single drop.’
|
||
|
||
Simply uncomparable.
|
||
|
||
Max had seen what Auras could do.
|
||
|
||
He had witnessed firsthand how powerful Lightning Aura, Flame Aura, Sword Aura, and even Space Aura could be.
|
||
|
||
Yet even the strongest Aura was only a fragment—
|
||
|
||
A mere shadow of what a Concept could become.
|
||
|
||
His fingers tightened around the blood-red scroll.
|
||
|
||
If just Slaughter Aura could drive people to madness…
|
||
|
||
Then what would happen to someone who grasped the Concept of Slaughter?
|
||
|
||
Max shuddered at the thought.
|
||
|
||
Would their very soul become a vessel of endless bloodshed?
|
||
|
||
Would they even remain human?
|
||
|
||
Max had always pushed himself toward strength.
|
||
|
||
But this…
|
||
|
||
This was something beyond just power.
|
||
|
||
This was power that would devour the wielder whole.
|
||
|
||
A technique so cursed that even the previous owner of the temple—a man powerful enough to stand above countless warriors—
|
||
|
||
Refused to practice it.
|
||
|
||
Max took a deep breath, his eyes flickering between hesitation and temptation.
|
||
|
||
"If one does not already possess Slaughter Aura…"
|
||
|
||
The blob’s voice dropped to a whisper—
|
||
|
||
"And they try practicing this technique…"
|
||
|
||
"Then the Concept of Slaughter inside the technique will consume them—"
|
||
|
||
"Turning them berserk… forever."
|
||
|
||
Max took a deep breath, staring at the blood-red scroll in his hands.
|
||
|
||
He understood now.
|
||
|
||
This wasn’t just a powerful technique.
|
||
|
||
It was a cursed technique.
|
||
|
||
A technique that tempted its wielder with overwhelming strength—
|
||
|
||
At the cost of their very sanity.
|
||
|
||
’A strong technique but at a risk.’
|
||
|
||
Max’s mind raced.
|
||
|
||
The Crimson Havoc Fist: Sevenfold Slaughter Technique was without a doubt an insanely powerful technique—
|
||
|
||
But it came at a terrifying cost.
|
||
|
||
Would he take the risk?
|
||
|
||
Max exhaled slowly, calming the storm of thoughts in his mind.
|
||
|
||
’I will think about it later.’
|
||
|
||
This wasn’t a decision he could rush.
|
||
|
||
For now—
|
||
|
||
He would keep the technique with him.
|
||
|
||
After all—
|
||
|
||
Both the Voidborne Edge: Sevenfold Sword Technique and Crimson Havoc Fist: Sevenfold Slaughter Technique were Epic Rank techniques.
|
||
|
||
No matter how dangerous the second one was,
|
||
|
||
Max couldn’t simply leave them behind.
|
||
|
||
"I’ll keep them for now."
|
||
|
||
His voice was firm as he glanced at the blob.
|
||
|
||
The blob glared at him, its liquid form rippling with discontent.
|
||
|
||
Then, in a stern tone, it warned—
|
||
|
||
"Don’t get greedy. Otherwise, you won’t even have the chance to regret it."
|
||
|
||
Max nodded solemnly.
|
||
|
||
"I understand."
|
||
|
||
His voice was serious.
|
||
|
||
He wouldn’t risk his life for power.
|
||
|
||
Not recklessly.
|
||
|
||
Not without fully understanding the consequences.
|
||
|
||
For now—
|
||
|
||
These techniques would remain sealed away.
|
||
|
||
And when the time came—
|
||
|
||
He would decide whether he had the strength to wield them…
|
||
|
||
Or whether they were better left untouched.
|
||
|
||
Max shook off his thoughts and focused back on the task at hand.
|
||
|
||
"Let’s continue our search."
|
||
|
||
His eyes swept across the overwhelming piles of treasures as he resumed digging through them.
|
||
|
||
The blob, too, went back to rummaging.
|
||
|
||
Max noticed something amusing as he worked—
|
||
|
||
The blob’s expressions constantly changed depending on what it found.
|
||
|
||
Sometimes it would frown in disappointment.
|
||
|
||
Sometimes it would chuckle greedily, as if it had found something valuable.
|
||
|
||
And sometimes—it would just eat the treasures outright.
|
||
|
||
Max smiled, shaking his head.
|
||
|
||
’This guy just love treasures.’
|
||
|
||
As he shifted through various scrolls, his eyes caught something interesting.
|
||
|
||
A skill scroll titled—
|
||
|
||
Lightning Steps.
|
||
|
||
A movement-type skill that utilized lightning to enhance speed and reflexes.
|
||
|
||
Without hesitation, Max picked it up.
|
||
|
||
He didn’t even think twice and learned it on the spot.
|
||
|
||
’Good, with this skill, my speed on the ground will increase even more.’
|
||
|
||
With that satisfaction in mind, he continued searching, hoping to find even more useful things.
|
||
|
||
Time passed quickly as he and the blob dug through the endless wealth of artifacts, scrolls, and weapons.
|
||
|
||
Eventually—
|
||
|
||
They left the treasury room, both wearing satisfied smiles.
|
||
|
||
The blob chuckled, its liquid body shifting as it spoke.
|
||
|
||
"I didn’t know you had almost infinite space in your storage artifact."
|
||
|
||
It shook its head in mock frustration.
|
||
|
||
"Otherwise, I would have asked you to take everything away at once!"
|
||
|
||
Max shrugged, his expression relaxed.
|
||
|
||
"Yeah… but it’s good that we inspected almost all the treasures inside first."
|
||
|
||
He gave the blob a knowing smile.
|
||
|
||
"That way, even if they’re all with me… I know what treasures I possess and what I don’t."
|
||
|
||
The blob paused, then nodded in agreement.
|
||
|
||
"True."
|
||
|
||
Following that— |
