Lord of the Karmic Fate

[Your Luck Energy had been boosted by 5%!]

Raven stood motionlessly on the only clear path within the Realm Domain, his indifferent gaze staring coldly at the approaching figure among the tall crops with his dagger flickering with coldness under the crimson light.

"What the hell is that thing?" raising his weapon scarcely as his dark hair and clothes fluttered wildly in the strong wind, Raven squinted his eyes.

The figure in the cornfield was by no means small. Even from where Raven stood, which was about a hundred meters away, the creature looked incredibly tall, very likely having a height above three meters!

As for its appearance, it looked insanely dreadful. The skin on its face was akin to a sack, its mouth was sewn shut with strings and stitches while where its eyes should have been there being only two gaping empty eye sockets filled with worms and maggots!

Moreover, it also had insanely long hands made out of straws covered in shredded flesh that oozed blood almost infinitely. And to make its already gruesome image even more horrifying, the way it approached him looked almost as if it didn't walk at all!

It looked as though it just stood in one place, gazing at him from afar, yet at the same time not!

It was truly a sight that sent shivers down one's spine.

"They are called the Watchers. Before the Domain Mutation, they liked to lurk after others and only attacked if their prey was alone or got lost from their group."

"Also, in the past, they had a very low Rank of 27, however assuming from the aura of this one, I must assume it should be between Rank 39 and Rank 42.' Old Dan explained calmly, his gaze quickly spotting another Watcher.

"Any special powers or characteristics?" Raven asked as he tightened his grip around the hilt of his dagger.

"They have." Old Dan nodded and quickly explained, "Watchers although being incredibly slow if they catch up with you and land a blow you are as good as dead. Their ability is called Soul Shred."

"Soul Shred?" Raven frowned.

"Yes. It is an ability that allows them to damage their prey's soul directly if they injure them. Just a small scratch on your shoulder is enough to make you feel as if your entire arm had been torn off!"

"That is quite a terrifying ability," Raven mumbled calmly, his gaze and posture not at all shaken after hearing what these Watchers could do.

It seemed his tempered mind now played a huge role to keep him calm and collected.

"It seems there is a total of 7 Watchers. This is not good at all..." Old Dan clicked his tongue from irritation, knowing way too well that even with his Rank 41 this will be a dire battle not to mention for Raven.

[Rune Mark: True Heir's Resolve activated!]

[5 Random Avatar Traits will be increased +50!]

[Title: The Blessed Prodigy First Effect had been triggered!]

[All Avatar Traits +10!]

Feeling as his Traits jumped by 60 points in an instant, a confident and at the same time cold smile formed on Raven's face, and quickly summoned his Monarch's Crown.

"I will take care of them."

Old Dan was confused when he heard Raven saying those words, but even before he could have said anything Raven turned into a blur, appearing right before the closest Watcher with his dagger already swung at its abdomen.

Swish!

Crack!

With a sound that was akin to breaking a tree branch in two, the Watcher, which was ready to swing its insanely long hand at Raven, suddenly froze and fell to the ground in two pieces.

'A clean cut.' Raven thought calmly while deep inside he was shocked beyond words.

This speed and force just now... So this was how it felt moving and attacking someone with a Rank above 40?

This was just simply too absurd!

Even the ground where he stood a moment ago had cracked and turned into a medium-sized crater, that's just how much momentum and force he could put into his leg in less than 1 second!

'I should start training again and refine my strength.' Raven took a mental note and was ready to target the next Watcher when something unexpected happened.

[Congratulations! You have slain Rank 40 Watcher!]

[Your Mystique has increased by +2!]

'Huh?' Raven felt confused, however, the next second he was forced to snap out of his daze as a sharp claw flew straight at his throat from the side, belonging it to another Watcher that hid and lurked in the corn-field all this time.

However, as he had dozed off and the attack had already been an inch away from his, while he had the chance to avoid it, he couldn't do it completely without sustaining at least a small scratch.

And considering what these creatures' ability was, that small scratch could be just as lethal as a dagger straight into his heart!

But luckily, he had Plan B to save himself.

----------------

• Current Chances to safely avoid: 92.4% (Max: 100%)

• Available Luck Energy to enhance: 19%

• Needed Mystique to activate Luck Enhancement: 1,930 units

----------------

Upon seeing the panel above the claw of the Watcher, Raven didn't hesitate at all and increased the chances by 7%.

And just as he did, something flashed in the corner of his mouth, and even before he could have blinked twice the hand of the Watcher was cleanly cut off, giving him the chance to avoid it safely!

"If you doze off you are as good as dead, brat! Now come and help me, will you?" in the distance surrounded by 3 Watchers while dodging their deadly claws, Old Dan shouted at Raven loudly.

Looking at the small sharp object on the ground beside the cleanly severed arm that looked like a throwing star, Raven tightened his grip around his dagger and swung it.

Swish!

Paff!

Once the Watcher that wished to see him dead was beheaded, causing his Vitality to increase by 2, Raven picked the throwing star up and glanced at the three Watchers surrounding Old Dan.

----------------

• Current Chances to kill all enemies with one throw: 6.882% (Max: 100%)

• Available Luck Energy to enhance: 12%

• Needed Mystique to activate Luck Enhancement: 56,900 units

<Not Possible to Manipulate!>

----------------

'Tsk...' clicking his tongue in frustration Raven threw the throwing star at the closest Watcher to him and quickly ran toward Old Dan.

[Congratulations! You have slain Rank 40 Watcher!]

[Your Mystique has increased by +2!]

[Congratulations! You have slain Rank 40 Watcher!]

[Your Constitution has increased by +2!]

[Congratulations! You have...]

And just like that, all the Watchers had been killed.
