Chapter 529: The True Power of Darkness
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Small strands of dark energy flowed and quickly accumulated into a mini sphere.
The moment Su Wan saw the sand dune, she was unable to tear his eyes away. A strong desire surged in her heart.
The dark power within her body involuntarily surged and overflowed from her body. It flowed toward the mini sphere in Nami’s palm.
“Please accept this portion of the Dark Authority. I seized it from the gods. The Darkness Master God hides outside the boundless void, and 1 couldn’t find any trace of him.” Nami’s gentle voice calmed Su Wan’s tumultuous heart.
But this portion of authority was enough for Su Wan. Too much power might not be bearable.
‘The Dark Authority!’
Su Wan looked at Nami, but under the Blood Moon’s glow, she could only see Nami’s deep, glittering eyes and nothing else.
Su Wan trembled. Killing three dark gods was obviously not something that could be accomplished in a short time.
While Su Wan was silently laying the groundwork, Nami was clearly also making efforts behind the scenes.
Su Wan took a deep breath to calm herself and silently manipulated her dark power to envelop the energy formed by the Dark Authority.
Su Wan wasn’t one to express gratitude with words. Actions were more to her liking.
The moment she touched the dark power, Su Wan’s soul trembled. The unparalleled comfort was like reaching the utmost limit. It almost caused her to moan involuntarily.
Every cell in her body was excited. The dark power within her expanded rapidly at this moment.
Under the effect of the dark power, the mini-sand dune gradually reverted to gravel, which was then drawn into Su Wan’s body.
Su Wan slowly closed her eyes and experienced a power surge within her.
As the gravel integrated to a certain degree, scenes appeared in her mind! The vast darkness spread under the scorching sun and flickered with radiance.
Endless darkness extended to the horizon. It was ancient and desolate.
In her mind, it seemed as though the fast-forward button had been pressed. Days and months changed, and stars disappeared. But the darkness remained.
The wind howled and rain poured down, yet the darkness remained unchanged.
Time passed and everything changed, but no trace was left in the darkness.
The darkness seemed to become eternal.
Su Wan watched everything as emotions swelled in her heart.
For darkness, I wish to be eternal…’
Neither wind nor frost could leave a mark, and time couldn’t change it…
She didn’t know how long had passed. Maybe a minute, or perhaps half a century.
As time washed away the scenes in her mind and turned to dust, it left no trace behind.
A familiar prompt sounded in her ears.
[Successfully obtained a portion of the Dark Authority and acquired a special skill: Body of Darkness.]
[Body of Darkness]
[Special ability]
[After activating the Power of Darkness, when attacked, the damage can be transferred to the darkness.]
The Dark Authority possessed immense power that couldn’t be fully controlled, and it had fallen into dormancy. Only by breaking through the legendary state could it be reactivated.
A series of system prompts awakened Su Wan from her dream-like state.
She looked around. Everything was calm and Nami had already returned to her sofa and was savoring her cup of tea.
Her elegant figure pressed into the sofa. She looked at ease but still held unmistakable authority.
The Blood Moon had already dissipated from behind her.
The Dark Valkyrie and Mestre were currently gazing at Su Wan. Their faces filled with joy.
Su Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She sat back on the sofa.
Nami watched Su Wan with admiration and respect.
“Although it’s only a small portion of the Dark Authority, you managed to grasp it in just three hours. Lord Su Wan, you are truly astonishing.”
“The power of authority is too immense. I only obtained a tiny portion of it,” Su Wan said humbly.
Perhaps only when she reached the legendary state could she attempt to control it. The power of authority was the force that ruled the world.
If it weren’t for the previous blessing of the dark power, trying to control this power before reaching the legendary level would be difficult and fatal.
However, even though she hadn’t fully mastered it, the gains were incredible.
Su Wan opened her attribute panel. The newly acquired special ability, Body of Darkness, was insanely powerful.
‘All damage received can be transferred to nearby darkness, and the effect lasted for as long as three hours!’
As long as there was darkness around, no one could hurt Su Wan!
Su Wan was delighted.
Moreover, this was just a negligible portion of the Dark Authority.
It was really hard to imagine how immense the boost would be if one fully mastered the authority.
It was no wonder the gods are so powerful.
When this power accumulated to its fullest, legends became as insignificant as ants.
Su Wan felt overjoyed. She glanced at Nami.
The rewards for this mission were incredible, not only because it was an S-class mission, but also because of the previous task of helping the old man at the Red Dragon Store retrieve his heart. She had also set up the Tasirian Lords Association.
Everything was interconnected.
One thing was certain: the efforts made earlier were not in vain, and they received the best rewards.
Nami was truly generous.
Su Wan didn’t stay long in Canglan City. After having lunch, they left.
Not long after they left, the nobles and high-ranking members of the chambers of commerce in Canglan City visited the Lavender Manor.
Within less than two hours, the entrance of the manor was filled with luxurious carriages.
Although most of the nobles didn’t know about the relationship between Su Wan and Archduke Qing You, the archduke breaking the rules and allowing Su Wan into the forbidden grounds raised many eyebrows.
Even those forces that had never bothered with the Lavender Business Guild before this paid a visit to Mestre.
Mestre did not turn these visitors away. Instead, she welcomed them with a smile.
Her ambitious plans required making full use of connections. These nobles were the key to the future development of the Lavender Business Guild.
On the day Su Wan left, Prince Jia Wen also paid a visit to the City Lord’s Mansion.
When he left the City Lord’s Mansion, the excitement on his face was hard to conceal. He couldn’t believe the shocking news he had just received.
Although he had only sworn allegiance to Su Wan, Archduke Qing You openly stated that he would fully support his fight for the throne.
The archduke had also promised that the resources of Canglan City would be used fully in his support. The archduke had also gifted him a top-tier troop..
