Following the black cat's instructions, Otto carefully opened the lid of the earthenware jar.
The moment the lid of the earthenware jar was opened, a chilling, bone-deep aura gushed out from it.
The chilling aura was a hundred times stronger than that in the cemetery, causing Otto to shiver involuntarily.
Otto dared not be careless. He immediately concentrated his mind, mixing his mental power with his magic power to form an energy barrier that tightly enveloped the cold aura emanating from the pottery jar.
Then, he guided this chilling aura and offered it as a sacrifice to the black cat.
The black cat closed its eyes and began to absorb the power from the underworld.
The black cat's body began to emit a faint black glow; its transformation had begun.
With the prompts, Otto could clearly sense that the black cat's power was rapidly increasing.
Time passed by, second by second.
Otto remained highly focused, not daring to relax for even a moment.
He knew that if anything went wrong at this moment, not only would the black cat's transformation fail, but he would also face greater danger when facing the shaman later.
Fortunately, after an unknown period of time, the transformation seemed to have been successful.
The black cat has successfully absorbed the Netherworld Mist and is undergoing a transformation.
[The black cat transforms into a soul-crossing black cat.]
Seeing the prompt in front of him, Otto finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the Soul-Crossing Black Cat, a fantasy species, Otto had never heard of it before.
He needs to investigate this thoroughly when he gets back.
However, since it is not recorded in the common fantasy species encyclopedia, it must be a very rare species.
Just as Otto was pondering this, the enhancements that the Soul-Crossing Black Cat brought to Otto had already begun.
[The Soul-Crossing Black Cat has sensed the aura of the Shadow of the Underworld and resonated strongly with you. Your Shadowless Steps level has been increased.]
[Shadow Steps upgraded to LV8.]
The Black Cat, the Soul-Crossing Demon, has officially embarked on the path of chaos.
The black cat, standing atop the gray deer's large antlers, arrogantly and gracefully declared that it was now the true leader.
Before Otto could react, the Soul-Crossing Black Cat had already provoked the Magic-Imitation Demon Ape.
Clearly, a new battle for leadership has begun.
The Soul-Crossing Black Cat easily defeated the Magic-Imitation Demon Ape with its agile movements and immense strength.
The Soul-Crossing Black Cat has issued a challenge to the Moonlit Spirit Hound.
The Moonlit Spirit Hound was defeated by the Soul-Crossing Black Cat.
Finally, the black cat that carried the soul looked at the brown bear in the corner.
The brown bear roared defiantly and charged at the black cat that was ferrying souls.
The brown bear was no match for the Soul-Crossing Black Cat and was soundly beaten.
The Soul-Crossing Black Cat has successfully defeated all challengers and become the new leader.
[The black cat who ferryed souls said, "Thank you for your efforts on my behalf."]
[The black cat who ferrys souls swears that from this day forward, all attacks and betrayals against you will bring calamity.]
The Soul-Crossing Black Cat apologizes to you. As a member of the Path of Chaos, this is the only way it can express its gratitude.
At this moment, Otto seemed to have acquired some very strange property.
This characteristic differs from the analytical abilities of the Magic Ape, the carrying capacity of the Brown Bear, and even the protective instincts of the Moonlit Spirit Hound.
The black cat seems to possess a mysterious ability that allows extreme chaos to secretly ferment within the enemy.
This is not a specific attack ability, but rather a curse from the Soul-Crossing Black Cat.
Otto thought that in countless legends, black cats seemed to represent misfortune, curses, the underworld, or even all things ominous.
Perhaps the black cat that carries away souls amplifies this characteristic.
"To prevent surprise attacks?"
That's a good feature.
Otto let out a long sigh and muttered to himself.
He immediately sensed his own condition.
In addition to the upgrade of his Shadowless Steps level, his Agility attribute also received a significant boost.
Come to think of it, other fantasy species would bring some extra attribute breakthroughs, and the Soul-Crossing Black Cat is no exception.
Just as Otto was sensing his own condition, the pottery jar in his hand seemed to undergo some kind of change.
Otto carefully looked at the pottery jar and discovered that the so-called underworld mist had been completely absorbed by the black cat.
Now, only some small finger bones remain inside the pottery jar.
"What is this?"
Otto picked up a piece of pale finger bone and asked in confusion.
These finger bones don't look like human finger bones at all; they are thinner and longer than human finger bones, and they are engraved with some strange patterns.
Just as Otto was wondering, the Magic Ape had already provided some analysis.
The Magical Ape stated that this was likely a finger bone left behind by some powerful demon.
The magic ape gradually began to explain the things before Otto.
Although the Magical Ape couldn't discern the true form of this demonic creature, it could sense the immense power contained within the finger bone.
[The Magical Ape explained that the terracotta pot, the finger bone, and the Netherworld Mist combined to form a kind of cursed artifact. Originally, it was an item capable of amplifying certain properties, and it was further enhanced by combining it with the power of Grak.]
As the magic-mimicking ape analyzed the situation, Otto suddenly realized the truth.
This thing must be the medium, the root cause of why the carnivorous vine is so terrifying.
Now that they have completely solved the problem with the pottery jar, they have also ruined the shaman's plan.
However, Otto looked at the pottery jar in front of him with some doubt.
What exactly does that shaman want to do?
This carnivorous vine doesn't seem to have anything to do with his sacrificial ritual.
But the Magic Ape offered its own answer.
The Magical Ape believed that since the other party had chosen to hunt down the priests, it meant he had already made his own plan. Faced with such a dangerous situation, he wouldn't have carelessly caused a disaster. Presumably, the birth of the Flesh-Eating Vine was closely related to that sacrificial ritual.
[The Magic-Phantom Ape speculated that the Carnivorous Vines might be a decoy he used to attract attention, or perhaps a tool he used to collect materials to aid in the sacrificial ritual; however, further investigation is needed to determine the specifics.]
Otto also found the analysis of the Magic-like Demon Ape to be reasonable.
But since he couldn't find any answers for the time being, Otto simply put the pottery jar away and prepared to deal with it later.
The magical ape stated that the clay pot was unimportant; the Grack symbol embedded in it was the crucial element, as this symbol, along with the finger bone, was the core of the curse's operation.
Seeing this, Otto smashed the pottery jar and put the metal piece engraved with the Grac logo into his pocket.
After doing all this, Otto looked up at the sky.
The east was already showing the first light of dawn; daylight was approaching. Otto was feeling somewhat exhausted after a night of commotion, and he knew it was time to go back.
Once back, Otto felt he needed to recover from his exhaustion and also check if Goren had sold the spoils of their last adventure for profit.
Otto stood up and brushed the dirt off his clothes.
He took one last look at Juliet's tomb in the distance, then turned and walked toward the cemetery gate.
At this moment, sunlight gradually pierced through the clouds and shone on the ground of the Crow Cemetery.
The eerie atmosphere gradually dissipated under the sunlight.
Otto knew that the anomaly at the Jackdaw Cemetery had been temporarily resolved.
But this is just the beginning. His pact with Juliet and the mysterious shaman are both waiting for him to resolve.
There are many troubles ahead, but Otto believes he is prepared.
With that thought in mind, he gripped the iron sword at his waist and strode towards Oak Town, facing the morning light.
