Lord of Enigma

Chapter 48: The Death God's Ravings

"Sorry, you said you once killed a vengeful spirit. Can you tell me what kind of spell you used?" Tang Qi walked to the young blond man who was falling into self-doubt, asking curiously as he kept a polite distance.

If it was someone else, or if it happened in some other circumstances, this young blond man named Ryan would have immediately put away the compendium in his hand to prevent anyone from spying.

In his view, this was how he could protect his future.

Ever since he came into contact with this mysterious world after an accident and found the old compendium left by his grandfather that was filled with various monsters and accompanied by all kinds of monster hunting spells, he embarked on being a bounty hunter.

He even roped in several like-minded "hobbyists" and formed a team.

In addition, he accidentally used the spell in the compendium to eliminate a vengeful spirit and obtained a large reward while successfully creating some cohesion within the team.

But now, another test was coming.

Perhaps Tang Qi's appearance was too deceptive, and the act of keeping a distance also made him feel good. Moreover, he was under the eyes of many and was in a state of confusion. Upon hearing Tang Qi's words, he instinctively flipped through the compendium again.

The entire compendium was, in fact, pieces of paper that were bound together with something that looked like a linen rope. Its construction was crude, and the texture of each page was mostly different. In it, the monsters or ghosts depicted were not that rare.

At least they were frequently sighted in "Monster Files".

Soon, Ryan turned to that page. It was very different from the other pages. Its texture felt extremely thin and light, almost transparent. On it was portrayed a picture of Death a large black robe that engulfed the spirit body, two reddish glows, and the scary sickle that looked like it might come chopping down anytime.

Below the picture was a line for an extremely complex and weird-looking spell.

"Hum"

At this moment, faint light appeared in Tang Qi's eyes.

[Mysterious Object: The Death God's Ravings]

[Status: Incomplete Pages]

[Information Fragment 1: In the ancient times, a lucky yet unfortunate teenager accidentally entered into a state of false death which lasted for three years. During this time, he overheard the whispers of the death god and recorded them down after he woke up, thus forming the supernatural masterpiece "The Death God's Ravings".]

[Information Fragment 2: The young man's actions angered the death god. After completing the last verse, he was taken away by him. Also, those verses became blurred due to the death god's curse. Only a few pages remained.]

[Information Fragment 3: Using the incomplete pages, you can practice the "Spirit Medium" profession. However, there is a risk of angering the death god again.]

Initially, Tang Qi was shocked that there were suddenly a lot of information fragments passing under his eyes. After seeing the content, he understood why.

Generally speaking, the higher an item's supernatural grade, the more information fragments it contained.

Of course, this was not always the case and could only be considered a side rule.

"It turned out to be a remarkable item that allows people to step up to the professional level. From this description, its supernatural grade must be very high.

"This explains why he could kill the vengeful spirit. The living upon hearing the death god's ravings will experience unpleasant things. However, for less powerful vengeful spirits, there is no other outcome except death.

"Therefore, this young man does have the potential to become a Spirit Medium. Otherwise, he would not have been able to master the death god's ravings."

Tang Qi briefly glanced through the spell on that incomplete page. He only wanted to understand it and did not intend to practice it. He had already offended the Witch of Misfortune from a foreign world and did not want to provoke the death god from an unknown plane. And compared to that spell, Tang Qi believed that his power of the furnace would be more damaging to vengeful spirits.

These thoughts then ended with Ryan showing that page.

After which, he turned his attention to proper business. The atmosphere in the auditorium was full of tension, chaos, and fear almost pulling Tang Qi into it.

Tang Qi motioned Ryan to put away the compendium. He then walked to the center of the auditorium before the fire basin.

Because a lot of herbs had been burnt inside, together with an ointment-like substance and that disgusting pus, there was a pool of black and yellow liquid in the fire basin. Although it looked disgusting, it gave off a fragrance that made people swallow their saliva.

Moreover, it was extremely strong.

Tang Qi squatted slowly in front of everyone's amazed expression. He then raised the fire basin as his voice rang.

"Lunar flowers, egg-shaped orchids, thorn-less grass, knoxia root, poison hemlock juice, and human fat concentration. When put together to burn, it can indeed emit a sweet fragrance that is deadly to spider-like monsters. However, this plan did not account for a particular possibility."

"This trap can only work on monsters in the wild. What if the monster hiding in Moses University is in human form?"

Hiss~

As soon as Tang Qi finished speaking, there was a commotion in the auditorium. Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Tang Qi suddenly took a few steps and hurled the pot of liquid in his hand toward a remote corner of the auditorium.

Two people were standing over there a beautiful lady with a slim figure in a professional attire, and a strong man that looked like a bodybuilder. One was the assistant of Professor Rick Kassel, the other was the university security guard.

When they saw Tang Qi splashing the pot of liquid over, they instinctively revealed a terrified look. However, the female assistant seemed to react quickly, grabbing the guard who was about to dodge. She then shouted: "It's okay, we are not"

Hiss hiss.

Before the beautiful female assistant could finish talking, she seemed to be soaked in some strong acid. A terrible sound traveled over as the skin on her body began to melt. It was as if a hot piece of soldering iron was inserted into a block of cheese as yellow and viscous liquid bubbled out.

The security guard beside her shared the same fate.

Before everyone had time for sympathy, they were stunned by the horrifying scene that appeared next.

The female assistant and that security guard screamed as their lower bodies began to swell, growing out thick black hairs. A fat spider belly appeared, and their upper bodies began to distort. Their beautiful faces each transformed into a ferocious mouth, sunken nose, and three extremely evil eyes that looked like rubies.

Hiss~

Hiss hiss.

The two completely transformed Spider Monsters had all of their six eyes staring at Tang Qi.

It was this little human that exposed them.

Their first thought was to rip him into two and devour him separately.

As they wailed and looked over, Tang Qi smiled mysteriously at them and stepped away to reveal Stana who had already raised her pistol.

Bang!

Bang!

Along with the gunshots, two azure blue rays penetrated the heads of these two monsters. Their sturdy skulls became extremely fragile under the power of the sea monster bullets and split open in front of everybody as their brains inside exploded.

Their inhuman bodies collapsed to the ground.

Dead!

Everyone did not dare to believe their eyes. Everything had happened so fast that they did not even have time to react. It felt like a dream to them.

They only saw a teenager suddenly stepping forward to explain something, then pick up a pot of disgusting but extremely fragrant liquid, and splash it on the female assistant and the security captain. After which, two spider monsters appeared, which were swiftly shot in the head by that mature sisterly police sergeant.

But they were indeed dead. Corpses didn't lie.

Everyone had to accept this. They then froze for a while before cheering together.
