Our Family Has Fallen

However, it might be due to the incomplete success of [Fleshcrafting].

It can transform, but only slightly, and cannot undergo significant changes.

For example, he can make the gauntlet’s fingertip protrude like a sharp claw, but he can’t turn the blade on his arm into a long sword—the maximum transformation is just a slight elongation.

When Lance ascended to [Champion], he already felt the limits of the human body, which is why [Master] is the limit for most humans.

To step into [Champion], one must rely on external forces to surpass human limits.

Warwolf relies on the power of the Spirit of the Wilderness from the tribe, Alhazred on the power of the Evil God in the Golden Sand Temple, even Lance broke through with the help of a panel.

At this point, they have already differed from ordinary humans in some way, possessing some non-human supernatural power, which is probably the source of the so-called [Extraordinary Bloodline].

Champions might be rare, but over the long history, there has definitely been a considerable accumulation; the power they left behind lurks within the bloodlines.

According to the reproduction of humans, after so much time, everybody probably has a bit of it, the difference is just the concentration and whether it manifests.

That’s why after stepping into champion, Lance felt the power brought by Bless started to weaken, even hard to feel any improvement.

But tonight, this situation has changed drastically.

Previously, with a single piece of equipment, Lance didn’t feel much, until he donned the complete set and realized that it brings not only defense and resistance.

But also a terrifying boost, in all aspects.

Strength, reaction speed, body control...

Moreover, wearing feels not like ordinary armor’s empty can sensation, but like a layer of fitted exoskeleton, giving a strange feedback from external senses through the armor, almost exaggeratedly a part of the body.

Insects can exhibit strength several times their body weight because of their unique body structure, with exoskeletons supporting muscle force explosions.

With the support of the armor, Lance’s muscles gained higher utilization, under exaggerated foundational strength, any enhancement is monumental.

To make Lance’s [Champion] physique feel significantly enhanced, one can imagine the effect, which was already evidenced by the previous display.

Effortlessly crushing those heretics, even the flesh monsters transformed from Ascendant Seeds were defeated.

But more special was wearing the Limping Walker helmet, it seemed truly like using the eyeball on the helmet to observe the world from the Void perspective.

Additionally, the view was broader than humans’, even providing a three-hundred-sixty-degree seamless feel.

Though exaggerated, [Void Insight] enhances the user’s senses, making everything exposed with no place to hide, like the looter hiding afar spotted early, but processed last.

This is merely a part.

[Aura of Dread]: a gifted ability from the Limping Walker, all life forms that glimpse his presence must undergo a judgment, the closer the distance, the stronger the aura effect.

Just like when they first saw the Limping Walker, enduring adds pressure, but those who couldn’t withstand... that looter who died of fright already answered.

[Void Striding]: fused with the power of Limping Walker, allowing users to traverse the Void.

Simply understood as short-distance instantaneous travel, only within ocular range, requiring the full armor set equipped.

Like the flash before Cunning Fox earlier, and suddenly appearing to frighten the last looter.

This was just a test, but the body strain was greater than defeating the flesh monster before, evident by the peculiar complexion after removing the helmet.

Even with armor protection, traversing the Void with a flesh body is still too forced.

Armor and amplification can only be considered the basic functionality of a supernatural power armor.

[Living Armor] characteristic is clearly an effect brought by [Fleshcrafting].

While [Void Insight], [Aura of Dread], [Void Striding], these three traits obviously derive from the power of Limping Walker.

All related to the raw materials of armor crafting, aligning with basic logic.

It can be said if no accident occurred, this should be the limit of crafting armor with Limping Walker’s flesh.

But accidents are evidently commonplace.

The Meteorite mixed within brought bizarre power from Otherworldly Space, polluting the crafting process.

Though ultimately suppressed by the power of [Sacrifice], some incomprehensible mysterious power from existence was added, bringing more variables to the armor.

[Power of the Evil God], manifested as the unquenchable dark flame igniting the armor.

As for why it’s named this way, because Lance doesn’t know what else to call it.

He knew that probably when the Limping Walker was struck, the black flame ignited on the body, and Alhazred’s festering wounds burning were all costs of contacting the Evil God’s mighty force.

In terms of effects, apart from the cool dark flame visual effect, attacks come with additional damage.

Simply described as the dark flame burning enemies upon contact, or corrosion as more accurate.
