Chapter 645 - Chapter 645 Chapter 555 The Abilities of the Cat Fraction_2

Chapter 645: Chapter 555: The Abilities of the Cat Fraction_2 Chapter 645: Chapter 555: The Abilities of the Cat Fraction_2 In the room, Higurashi Chika appeared somewhat pale but only looked a little weak, with no significant damage to her foundation.

Upon seeing Roger, Higurashi Chika immediately stood up, “When do we start?”

Feeling her own powerlessness, she couldn’t wait to begin her training.

“Don’t rush.”

Higurashi Chika’s current condition was not suitable for training, and Roger could only comfort her for the time being. Now that things had settled down, he also had time to explore some of his own abilities.

In addition, there were also the training methods of the Factions promised by Yatagarasu Kensumi.

These things might only serve as references for others, but for Roger, they were the foundation for his continuous advancement.

After calming Higurashi Chika down, and not long after he returned to his room, Yatagarasu Kensumi sent someone with a wooden box. Inside the wooden box were not books, but tapir skins etched with runes.

With a thought, a cat head shimmering with metallic luster emerged from Roger’s chest. Spiritual power infused into it, and the lineage information of various Factions flowed into Roger’s mind.

[Moku Shirou Style][Wind Clear Water Flow][Toya Defense][Flame Spirit Ascension]

Not only did these provide the basic sword momentum of various Factions, but they also involved the use of spiritual power. With methodical training, under normal circumstances, one could condense a corresponding guardian spirit.

However, subsequent inheritances were already lost, so actual training was of little significance.

In truth, Roger never considered retraining in other Factions. What he needed more was to expand his own reserves. However, one particular guardian spirit’s training method caught his attention.

Chenghu Raccoon Dog.

Raccoon dogs and cats, in many places, are just different names for the same creature. Although there is some controversy due to regional differences, there were too many similarities that could provide Roger with many insights.

Roger slowly flipped through the information, concentrating deeply, and immersing himself in the world of spiritual power.

He didn’t notice that his floating guardian spirit was slowly changing. Suddenly, a strange fluctuation interrupted Roger’s thoughts. He turned his head and discovered a vortex appearing on the forehead of the guardian spirit.

Through the vortex, Roger felt a familiar wave of energy.

“Isn’t this the lost Isobushi?”

When Uchiyama Mamoru was killed, the guardian spirit Isobushi also began to collapse after his death. But before the collapse concluded, the scattered fragments of the spiritual body were absorbed by Roger’s guardian spirit.

Having absorbed numerous fragments of the guardian spirit, Roger had noticed no change until now when an unknown stimulus revealed it.

Perhaps this would unlock a guardian spirit power unique to him.

From the inheritance method of another Fraction, Roger accidentally found some information about the Nekomata.

In many legends, cats are considered spiritually gifted creatures. A cat that lives nine years can communicate with spirits. After communing with spirits, an extra tail would split and grow from the tip of its existing ninth-year tail.

Thereafter, every nine years another tail would grow, until after ninety-nine years, the original cat would transform into a Nine-tailed Cat Monster.

After another nine years of cultivation and surviving ordeals, the Nine-tailed Cat Monster would then take human form.

Nine Tails Nine Lives!

Roger was not sure if the Nekomata lineage inherited by Higurashi Chika was related to this legend. There might be similarities, or they might share the same origin.

However, the guardian spirit Roger condensed was modified by the Hunter’s Cabin, and now, fragments of Isobushi’s spiritual power were being shredded inside the vortex at the guardian spirit’s head.

Then devoured, transformed, and absorbed.

At the same time, Roger also noticed changes in his guardian spirit.

The guardian spirit’s body gradually perfected itself until it was fully exposed to Roger’s sight, and the change still had not ended.

As the absorption and transformation continued, a new tail appeared at the end of Roger’s guardian spirit.

The information board provided a new prompt.

[Spirit Eater] can devour fragments of guardian spirits, absorbing the essence and energy to strengthen itself. During this process, due to the interference of chaotic spiritual power, it’s highly likely to catalyze a monster transformation in the guardian spirit.

The process of transformation is irreversible. Once initiated, the guardian spirit will enter a berserk state, with greatly increased attack power, bloodthirsty and violent, but once the energy is exhausted, there is a very high probability of causing the guardian spirit to break away.

Onmyoji or Samurai who lose their Guardian Spirits enter a state of blood frenzy, minor cases result in disability, while severe cases lead to death!

Elegance and brutality, like a cat walking on a tightrope, are separated by a mere thread.

[Three Transformations of Cat Type] transform at every third of the way, corresponding to Three Tails, Six Tails, and Nine Tails, respectively. In these three stages, the Guardian Spirit will undergo corresponding changes.

[Shadow Hide] Stealth is increased in dark environments, combat power is enhanced, and the desire to attack rises slightly.

“This Spirit Eater ability is so domineering.”

It can devour fragments of other Guardian Spirits to strengthen itself, or temporarily increase its own combat power through transformation.

However, the corresponding terrible side effect is a terrifying one: not only is there the loss of strength, which can be accepted, but there is also a certain chance of the Guardian Spirit breaking away after a Monster Transformation.

For a Cultivator, this is simply fatal.

In Roger’s view, if such a thing really happened, it would almost certainly mean certain death.

As for the later Three Transformations of Cat Type, it should be an inheritance of a part of the Nekomata’s abilities. From this perspective, the Guardian Spirit Fraction passed down by the Higurashi Chika family must be very powerful.

With such a powerful inheritance, there should correspondingly be powerful strength.

But from the little Higurashi Chika has said, it seems his father’s power is also quite ordinary, without anything special. Could there be other secrets hidden within this?

Or is it just because of the intervention of Hunter’s Cabin that Roger’s Guardian Spirit was enhanced to such an exaggerated extent?

Without pondering this question, Roger calmed his mind and completely unleashed the power of the Spirit Eater.

This time, it was not just a simple absorption; a crackling sound of Spiritual Body Fragments being crushed came from within the vortex, and at the same time, Roger felt his own aura growing wildly at an extremely fast pace.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The heart beating, no, not the heart, it was his Guardian Spirit.

Over time, more and more impurities were absorbed by the Guardian Spirit, and a faint blood color appeared in the cat’s pupils, even affecting Roger himself.

Vitality surged within him, and with a thought, Roger suppressed the changes in his vitality with his powerful physique, and soon this reaction also affected his Guardian Spirit.

Immediately after, Roger noticed a wonderful change.

The transformation continued, and the eyes of the Guardian Spirit turned redder, but since Roger controlled his own changes, he maintained calmness in his heart.

This allowed the Guardian Spirit to remain agitated, yet maintain a calm frenzy.

A reckless idea flashed in his mind.

“If I can always maintain absolute calmness in my mind, does this mean… even on the verge of madness, I won’t trigger the consequences of complete Monster Transformation?!”

“To be able to crazily enhance strength, while also possessing combat power equivalent to that of a Monster Transformation!”

“And if other abilities are added on top…”

“Then the fully evolved Cat Fraction will embody both madness and calmness, they could be swordsmen in the sunlight, as well as cold-blooded assassins in the dark.”

With the addition of the Sword Seal, Roger could not imagine any other Guardian Spirit that could defeat the Cat Fraction under such an extreme heritage state!

“It’s feasible!” With a new idea, Roger felt he would definitely find a way to solve the hidden dangers.

At this moment, the surging Spiritual Power in the vortex on the forehead of the Guardian Spirit gradually dissipated, and although the cat’s eyes were red, there was no sign of Monster Transformation.

The aura subsided, and Roger began to check the changes in his body.

“Just a little more and it can evolve to the Three Tails state.”

With each additional tail, the required power will greatly increase, and Roger found that the Spiritual Power reserve in his body was also straddling the border between Third Tier and Fourth Tier.

One more step forward, and it can enter the Fourth Tier through Spiritual Power, achieving the synchronization of the Fourth Tier in both Eastern and Western systems.

Bloodlines and Spiritual Power.

An idea suddenly popped into Roger’s mind: what if he could achieve balance or Resonance, would there be a new change?
