Chapter 243 Two Approaches to "Combined Techniques"
After Raphael combined the forms of "Wraith" and "Demon", he developed two "composite abilities" for the first time.
The first ability is "damage reflection". Raphael can choose to reflect a target's attack on him using a certain ability, but he can only use it twice a day. After fully consuming the potions from both sources, he can use it three times.
Raphael found this ability quite novel, as he didn't recall any Extraordinary individuals who had passed the "Prisoner" or "Criminal" pathways possessing this ability.
If I had to put it into words, it's somewhat similar to the ability possessed by Sequence 3 "Silent Disciple" in the "Prisoner" pathway. Once a connection is established with the target, any damage inflicted on the user will result in the target receiving the same damage. The key is that the damage received is completely transferred to the target, and ultimately the "Silent Disciple" doesn't even suffer any damage as a result.
However, this ability is only somewhat similar to "damage reflection".
Raphael named his second ability "Poisonous Flame Roast". This ability does not cause fatal damage, but it will make the target suffer greatly. It is equivalent to roasting the spirit, soul and body on the flame at the same time.
In combat, this ability can render a target incapacitated for one to three seconds, and the "scorching" state will continue for another ten seconds after those three seconds.
During those ten or so seconds, the target will still be in great pain, react slowly, and move more slowly.
If used for interrogation, Raphael felt it might be even more effective than "psychic communication," especially for the burning of the mind and spirit, which was a hysterical torment.
Raphael had not expected to acquire such a "compound ability".
Although these two abilities cannot serve as primary offensive capabilities, they are enough to surprise the opponent, especially "damage reflection"; they are very suitable for use when the enemy feels that victory is in their grasp.
If you suddenly "reflect" the opponent's ultimate move and then launch a surprise attack, you might be able to turn the tables and at least create an opportunity to escape.
However, Raphael felt that this situation might not happen too often, so he could also try using it in normal combat. "Reflecting" the target's most damaging ability would be enough to confuse the opponent.
Raphael then noticed that the combined state of "Wraith" and "Demon" only consumed the spirituality of the "Demon" state. In other words, with his current spirituality, he could maintain this state for an hour under normal combat conditions.
After drinking the "demon" potion, Raphael realized that his previous spiritual reserves were the sum of "vengeful spirits" and "demons," which was much higher than the spiritual reserves of a normal Sequence 5.
In fact, the spiritual reserves in the past were the sum of the two sequences. It's just that this was hard to detect when the sequence was low. When the sequence reached 5 and 6, the spiritual reserves became higher, and the extra spirituality could be detected.
Therefore, a "demon" in its normal state can only maintain its transformed state for about 15 minutes, but Raphael, because of his abundant spirituality, can maintain his transformed state for 4 times longer than a normal "demon"!
Such a long period of time is enough to withstand almost all battles.
In addition, when the two states are combined, Raphael can switch freely between the "Wraith" and "Demon" states. Regardless of the state, he can freely enter and exit the spirit world, ignore any physical attacks, and use all the abilities of the "Wraith" and "Demon" states!
Raphael couldn't help but smile. As the sequence level increased, the advantage of taking potions from two different sources simultaneously became greater and greater.
Having assessed his own abilities and condition, Raphael continued to restrain his spirituality. After resting for a day, he entered the "Dark Abode" to check on the situation on the western continent.
The disciples of the Dark Lodge in the Western Continent were all ready, so Raphael sent a divine decree to Zede in the “Forsaken Land”, instructing Sen’er City to prepare for the reception.
The extraordinary beings of the city-state of Pydis were only one day away from Senel City, so Raphael entered the "Dark Hut," transformed into the "Lord of Evil Desires," and instructed himself in the Western Continent and Zede in Senel City to prepare the corresponding rituals so that he could complete the personnel reassignment.
The underground altar of the Dark Lodge headquarters on the Western Continent.
"Demon Lord Zhou Fei," also known as Raphael of the Western Continent, is presiding over this "cross-border" ceremony.
To put it simply, it's about moving from Asia to Europe.
However, due to the seal of the "Celestial Venerable," normal means of transportation and most extraordinary methods cannot reach the destination.

During the ritual, Raphael extracted the characteristics of two types of mystical rituals from the Western and Northern Continents and invented his own ritual.
There are candles and symbols, as well as offering tables and ritual dances.
In reality, this ceremony is just a formality; the main point is to recite the name of "Lord of Evil Desires." Once you have a clear understanding of the role, things become much easier.
Below the altar, all the great monks of Dark Lodge were present. They were curious about the ceremony and hoped to learn more about the "Lord of Evil Desires" through it.
As senior cultivators of the sect, the "Master of Dark Lodge" had already revealed some information about the "Lord of Evil Desires" to them, which made them somewhat uneasy, unsure of what the future of Dark Lodge would hold.
This collaboration with the "Lord of Evil Desire" is kept extremely secret! It has also received high attention from the higher-ups at Dark Lodge!
Raphael performed a ritual dance for a while, pretending to do it—he had never danced this kind of dance before, and his movements and demeanor were inspired by the scene in the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" where Zhuge Liang borrows the east wind on the altar.
With a solemn expression and a touch of charlatan-like air, he wore a long-sleeved robe and held a long sword, pacing back and forth on the altar at varying speeds.
These great cultivators had never seen such a ritual dance before, and they were still marveling at it: the ritual dances of other worlds are just different.
When Raphael felt it was about time, he stood before the altar and uttered the name of "Lord of Evil Desires".
After the name was recited, Raphael knelt devoutly before the altar. The seven Dark Lodge disciples in the center of the altar felt an evil power descend upon them, and the next second, the seven people vanished instantly.
The powerful cultivators of Dark Lodge couldn't help but take a step forward, their faces showing some surprise, because they had no idea what had happened—the person was gone!
Only the "Master of the Dark Abode," who was observing from the shadows, could roughly discern some clues; it seemed somewhat like a "return of power."
Generally speaking, "descent" is when a high-ranking being bestows power upon someone who requests it, and after helping the requester, the high-ranking being reclaims the power. The ability used by the "Lord of Malevolence" just now is similar to the ability of "power return."
But there are some differences, after all, those seven Dark Lodge disciples do not belong to his own power.
At this moment, Raphael stood up and said to the high monks, "After the battle over there is over, I will come back to set up the welcoming ceremony."
I'll take my leave now.
Before the great cultivators could stop him, Raphael instantly turned into a phantom and vanished in a flash.
After Raphael from the Northern Continent was sent to the "Land Forsaken by God" by the disciples of the Dark Lodge, he immediately followed. At this time, the Dark Lodge needed a "big shot" to take charge, so he could not stay at the Dark Lodge headquarters.
Before coming here, he had made preparations, spending a lot of money to have a servant frequently whisper the name of the "Lord of Evil Desires," so that "Demon Lord Zhou Fei" could descend upon that servant at any time.
The great cultivators of Dark Lodge looked at each other in bewilderment. The people of Dark Lodge had been taken away by the "Lord of Evil Desires," so they definitely had to keep "Demon Lord Zhou Fei" here, but—but they simply couldn't keep him!
