Hyper-Dimensional Player

Chapter 947: Chapter 13: Heavy-Handed Strike

Mother of Great Bliss is undeniably both inept and fond of play.

As the Grandmother of the Joyful Sect, and the earthly lover of the goddess of joy, Lierla, in the original historical trajectory, she was assassinated by the church of the goddess of torment, Lavita, shortly after the end of the Saint’s Calamity. A divine favored, a leader of the church, died in such a muddled manner, which shows how weak her personal strength was beyond her appearance.

In contrast, the High Priest of the neighboring god of murder, Baal, who also was a church leader, wreaked havoc even after Baal’s fall. He managed to plan the resurrection of the divine spirit he served through the Slaughter Divine Son and almost became a god himself after dealing with Chaneem.

The disparity between individuals is simply enormous.

Fortunately, the Mother of Great Bliss also had an advantage, which was her immense generosity, granting the entire Crimson Performer main team very generous rewards. Duncan’s side even had the legendary artifact from the church’s treasury sent to them.

Just as Duncan was taking a break, a Joyful Priest sent over the deed to a three-story mansion near the Temple District, contracts of six servants, ownership of a shop along the street, plus a miscellaneous collection of items.

From food, clothing, shelter, to young maidservants, Mother of Great Bliss arranged everything meticulously.

Of course.

The most valuable item was the legendary artifact from the church’s treasury—the Boots of Joyful Jumping.

——"Boots of Joyful Jumping (Legendary) (Sacred Item): Said to have been worn by the saint incarnation of the goddess of joy, Lierla, possessing extremely powerful magical abilities.

Trait One: Accelerate (Constant).

Trait Two: Greatly enhances skills like jumping, rolling, climbing, dancing, and significantly increases the height and distance of jumps.

Trait Three: Up to three uses per day of the ’Joyful Jumping’ ability, equivalent to a teleport spell.

Trait Four: Constant Feather Fall spell, can jump from any height after activation.

Trait Five: Agility Enhancement +5."

[Note: The Joyful Jumping ability requires the divine grace of the goddess of joy. If deprived of divine grace, part of the sacred item’s functionality becomes inactive.]

It’s said that it was originally a pair of legendary agility boots.

After the saint incarnation of the goddess of joy, Lierla, came to Sargon, Mother of Great Bliss offered them to the goddess of joy. Lierla adored them after wearing and granted them additional abilities. However, without infusion of divinity, it remained a church curiosity combined with a sacred item, not enhanced into a lesser divine artifact.

The goddess of joy, Lierla, rarely has divine artifacts as most of her divinity is used to maintain her power, given that historically, she lacks significant achievements.

A valuable item indeed.

Duncan accepted it without hesitation.

If he had been given this earlier, he could have taken down that group of assassins alone. But without making significant contributions, Mother of Great Bliss would never reveal her bottom-drawer legendary treasures.

As for why she herself didn’t wear it?

Mother of Great Bliss adored her lavish enchanted crystal shoes. This pair of agility boots could be worn by both men and women. Though powerful, they were a bit unsightly, unable to showcase her pearl-like beautiful toes.

Strength is temporary; looking good is for a lifetime.

She valued her charm over her strength because her crystal shoes made her even more dazzling (Charisma Enhancement).

The Mother of Great Bliss was favored by the goddess of joy, meaning she was the one being toyed with beneath, and all her status comes from the favor of Lady Joy. Naturally, she gained her favor through beauty and charm.

The critical point is she has nothing else.

Inside the room.

Duncan adjusted his gear and weapons, then took off his armor, and began attempting some high-difficulty moves. With the Boots of Joyful Jumping, his human form was granted a ’superior agility’ buff state.

The exact value remains unknown unless Duncan forcibly used divine format power to deduce approximate attribute value.

"Attributes enhanced by equipment are still somewhat lacking."

"It’s necessary to enhance intrinsic attributes."

Duncan effortlessly completed a high-difficulty Thomas flair, the strength of his human form was high, as a warrior, nothing else but strength and constitution are guaranteed.

"Commencing simulation of data-based attributes, transforming human form’s attribute specialization into data!"

In the Dimension Space.

As Duncan activated the divine format power, a massive data stream began functioning, and numerous fundamental combat specializations became manifest. Among careerists, warriors boast the most specializations.

After completing all this, Duncan heard soft footsteps outside the door.

Someone was coming.

This was a perfect opportunity to test his new abilities.

Duncan’s figure hid within the shadows by the door, and in the next second, his entire presence seemed to vanish. Though not truly invisible, the shadows enveloped his body, making him appear as though he didn’t exist.

——Stealth (Master Level).

Duncan’s first extra ability to reach master level; from knowing the Mother of Great Bliss, he was constantly killing assassins and wanderers, as this was their hallmark skill.

Creak.

The door opened softly, and the well-dressed Vera entered the room with food, followed by two young joyful attendants.

"My lord?"

Vera appeared puzzled upon entering, having just heard the attendant report that Lord Duncan was in the room, yet was now nowhere to be seen.
