33: Chapter 33 The Unknown Past!
Yarberna's stats were simply more monstrous than his own as a three-star Mythic-grade Professional.
If the buff from his domain was included, this Legion Commander's four-dimensional attributes would instantly soar to around 10,000!
An average attribute of 10,000 was likely comparable to a Professional above Level 90.
He especially noticed that Yarberna herself possessed two divine artifacts.
Divine artifacts!
Those were the top-tier equipment for human Professionals, each possessing an indescribably terrifying boost.
It was no exaggeration to say that divine artifacts were the ultimate goal for all Professionals.
Even those Awakening Level powerhouses above Level 100 might never see one in their entire lives.
Although Yarberna's divine artifacts were currently sealed, as he grew stronger, there would eventually come a day when they would be unsealed.
At that time, Yarberna's strength would instantly rise to another level.
However, to unseal a divine artifact, one had to complete a corresponding Divine Artifact Quest.
And Divine Artifact Quests could only be issued by a god.
In other words, Lu Yin still needed to find a way to communicate with the new god behind him once more.
Lu Yin wasn't in a hurry about this; as long as he could reach Level 30 and complete his first job advancement, he would have another chance to Awakening with that god.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yin tried his best to calm the shock in his heart.
He had originally intended to slay the Abyssal Demon General alone, but now he had Yarberna.
He felt even more confident now.
Lu Yin then took a look at the capacity of the Death Space.
Now that the first Legion Commander had joined, he could already convert 20 Death Soldier.
This directly doubled the size of his legion.
The only thing he lacked now was high-level souls of death.
Of course, this wasn't something to be rushed; he had only been a Professional for three days.
He believed that before the National Examination, he would definitely be able to assemble an unparalleled legion of death.
Then, with a thought, he intended to withdraw Yarberna into the Death Space.
However, to Lu Yin's surprise, Yarberna actually ignored his withdrawal command.
Hmm? Could it be that a Legion Commander cannot enter the Death Space?
Lu Yin looked at Yarberna suspiciously and asked, "You can't enter the Death Space?"
Hearing Lu Yin's voice, Yarberna asked in confusion.
"Master, why do you want Yar to enter such a dark place?"
"Uh?"
Yarberna's question actually left Lu Yin stunned.
Because these were clearly not words a mere summon should be able to say.
But carrying around a creature in such flashy armor was also a bit too conspicuous, so he could only explain.
"It's not that I want you to go to a dark place, but your current look is too eye-catching."
"Oh, so it turns out Master doesn't like Yar's outfit. Then how about this?"
Yarberna's voice was languid as she gently raised her right hand and swept it elegantly across her chest.
Her body flickered with ripples of eerie light, and the originally ferocious armor transformed into a well-fitted black dress.
The material of the dress seemed ordinary, yet it shimmered faintly under the moonlight, perfectly outlining her exquisite figure.
Lu Yin couldn't help but freeze.
The woman's skin before him was as white as snow, and her ink-black hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall.
Her features were so delicate they didn't seem mortal, and her deep purple eyes seemed capable of stealing one's soul.
The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, adding a touch of languid charm.
Two long, straight, beautiful legs were faintly visible beneath the hem of her skirt, tempting the senses.
For a moment, Lu Yin was actually dazed.
Although he knew that beneath that armor was a female...
...he hadn't expected her to be such a peerless beauty.
"Master?" Yarberna tilted her head slightly, a faint smile swirling in her purple eyes. "Is this less conspicuous?"
Her voice carried a hint of playfulness amidst its languor; she had clearly noticed Lu Yin's momentary lapse.
Lu Yin gave a light cough and quickly pulled himself together.
*Cough cough*, "You seem a bit different from the other Death Soldier."
Yarberna's red lips curled up as she slowly approached, a sudden waft of fragrance hitting his nose.
"Because I am a Legion Commander, Master."
She stopped in front of Lu Yin and leaned down slightly, her long hair sliding over her shoulder with the movement.
This single movement alone was enough to make any man's heart race.
Especially the cleavage that she deliberately brought into his line of sight; it could practically suck his soul away.
Having shed her armor, Yarberna seemed to have become more vivid, almost indistinguishable from a real woman.
Lu Yin only felt a dryness in his throat.
Was this summon... realistic or what?
"You... you are indeed different from the other soldiers." He barely maintained his composure, but his voice was a few shades deeper than usual.
Yarberna chuckled softly, carelessly twirling a strand of hair with her fingertip.
"The Death Space is a dwelling for low-level soldiers, whereas I would much rather stay by Master's side."
As she spoke, she took another step forward, almost pressing against Lu Yin, light shimmering in her purple eyes.
"Besides, doesn't Master think that keeping me outside is more useful?"
Her breath brushed past Lu Yin's ear, causing a fire to surge uncontrollably within him.
But Yarberna was, at the end of the day, his summon; he couldn't violate human ethics!
Under the moonlight, Yarberna's skin glowed with a pearly luster, and those purple eyes held a faint, seductive allure.
"Is Master afraid of me? In the past, Master wasn't like this, you know."
She chuckled, her voice like a feather brushing against his heart strings.
"In the past?"
Lu Yin's eyelid twitched as he caught the information in Yarberna's words.
"Yes, back then Master was much bolder than you are now."
She deliberately dragged out the end of her sentence, her fingertip gently tracing her jade-like collarbone.
"Whether it was close guidance on the training grounds or serving as a private guard in the bedchamber late at night, Yar protected Master with the utmost care."
Lu Yin felt a rush of heat go straight to his head, and he forced himself to look away. "Explain clearly, what exactly is going on?"
Yarberna let out a light laugh and finally backed away slightly, giving him some breathing room.
"Master, since your memories are locked, it means there are some things you cannot know right now."
"When your level increases, you will naturally understand."
Lu Yin felt his heart skip a beat; Yarberna's words clearly hid some secrets he was unaware of.
"Cannot know?"
He frowned slightly, trying to read something from Yarberna's deep purple eyes.
But he only saw a hazy smile, like a mist shrouded in moonlight—beautiful yet impossible to see clearly.
Yarberna gave a soft "mm," her fingertip winding around the end of her hair.
Her posture was languid and casual, as if those heart-stirring words and actions from just now were merely an impromptu game.
"Master only needs to know that Yar will always be an existence you can trust."
"As for the rest... when the time is right, you will naturally understand."
She backed away half a step, her skirt fluttering gently with the night wind.
That orchid-and-musk fragrance also faded a bit, finally allowing Lu Yin to breathe a little more easily.
"Now, Master's task is still to increase your level as quickly as possible. Yar thinks it's better if we focus on the matters at hand."
Lu Yin pondered for a moment, then forcibly suppressed those chaotic thoughts and restless emotions.
"You're right."
He nodded, knowing that now was indeed not the time to investigate these mysteries.
Level and strength were the most urgent priorities right now.
As long as he continued to get stronger, all the mist would eventually dissipate.
