Roland's Manifest Level increases in tandem with the Divine Skill Level, and his class type is closer to that of Psychic Warlock. He now has a power level of 13 and can master up to Tier 7. While he's not a full psionic professional, and can't automatically awaken abilities as he levels up like a Psychic Samurai or Psychic Warlock, that doesn't prevent him from absorbing the abilities contained in the Expanding Knowledge Upanishads.

In fact, to put it bluntly, an opportunistic person like him who forcibly achieves "dual cultivation of gods and spirits" through dirty behind-the-scenes transactions with the goddess's sister can only learn new abilities through two ways: "mind surgery" and "expanding knowledge".

The attack range and damage range of the "Purgatory Corridor" are similar to the 3-ring arcane "lightning beam", and when it manifests its energy, it is like emitting a black lightning bolt, but in addition to the above external characteristics, the "purgatory corridor" is still very different from the "lightning beam".

First of all, it's a psychic ability that doesn't require chanting, spell casting gestures, or spellcasting materials, and secondly, Inferno Tunnel has an initial damage of 9d6, which is about the same as the maximum damage of Lightning Beam, and this ability has another advantage over arcane: the more psionic points you put into it, the more effects of the ability will increase.

Roland's current Manifest Level is 13, and he spends 13 psionic points to show the "Infernal Passage", which increases damage to 13d6. The damage may not seem very strong on its own, but don't forget that the Infernal Path also fuses negative energy, which can cause the aforementioned damage to creatures while restoring as much life to the undead in the attack area.

Spells that can heal the undead are rare, and the Infernal Passage attribute can play a key role in special situations. In fact, Roland had also heard of a Tier 5 ability called "Celestial Path", which invoked positive energy from the Celestial Realm, which could only kill dead souls, and could produce healing effects on ordinary creatures, as opposed to "Purgatory".

With nothing else of value on Yusefka, Roland returned to the clinic and searched and found four bottles of potions in the medicine chest on the first floor. After identification, it was confirmed that this was the "sober medicine" prepared by Yusefka, which can temporarily suppress the symptoms of madness after taking it, but the side effects are also very serious, and the more you take it, the weaker your resistance to madness, which is similar to drinking a donkey to quench your thirst.

Roland's side effects from the "sobering agent" were not unexpected. Yusefka herself is proof of this, and if the potion really worked, she herself would not have gone mad.

Roland picked up a bottle of "sobering potion" and couldn't help but think of what Jessica had said to him—her mother had ventured to Yusefka's clinic to buy the potion with strong side effects.

Roland glanced back at the twisted corpse outside the door, and had to suspect that Yusefka had gone berserk long before Jessica's mother came to the clinic, and what happened to Jessica's mother can be imagined.

The half-human, half-maggot-looking woman who resembles Jessica is most likely Jessica's mother, Anna, who was killed by a mad Yussevka and transformed into this tragic appearance using her abilities......

The maggot girl shattered her bones at the moment of her self-explosion, with Roland's current level of divine art...... There is no power to resurrect her. One step late, there is a failure to Jessica's request, and Roland feels deeply guilty for this.

With a sigh, he pulled out the music box Jessica had given him from his storage bag, opened the lid, and let the ethereal melody echo through the clinic as a requiem for her mother.

Probably because of the different environments and moods, listening to the same piece of music will always have different feelings, this time Roland heard the unspeakable sadness from the music box, and what made him feel even more depressed was the source of this sadness. As long as the blood moon of Akron still hangs in the night sky that never fades, and as long as this nightmare continues, similar tragedies will continue to play out, and this mournful music is like a prophecy dedicated to all the "sober" struggling to survive in this nightmare city, constantly torturing people's souls: is it worth paying such a price for maintaining a conscious self-will, is it better to join the dehumanized madmen in the streets, or simply degenerate into a carefree maggot living in the gutter?

Roland has his own answer to this question. Pressed for time, he didn't want to soak up his grief for too long, so he closed the music box and planned to light a fire to burn down the clinic and hold a simple and solemn cremation for Jessica's mother.

Just as he was about to light the torch, a groan suddenly came from the operating room on the second floor, and he was taken aback! Only then did I recall that there was still a disemboweled unlucky guy lying on the operating table on the second floor, and I thought that the other party had been killed by Yusevka, but he was still alive!

Roland put away the torch, flew up to the second floor, walked quickly to the operating table, leaned over to look at the man who was lying naked on the table moaning, and couldn't help but laugh to himself, it turned out to be Anthony Fogel.

Master Fogel's situation was truly miserable: he was stripped naked, and his belly was cut open with a scalpel by Yusevka, and the wriggling internal organs could be seen as blood gushed out.

For this kind of disemboweling wound, the "Holy Healing" and low-level divine arts could not do anything, and Roland was not good at using needles and threads to suture the wound, so he had to tear up a 7-ring "Regeneration" scroll given by Pastor Boris. This scroll is also worthy of the expensive price, after casting the spell, it emits a soft light, and the divine energy is injected into Anthony's body, quickly repairing the cut internal organs, and smoothing the abdominal knife with a speed visible to the naked eye, after just one minute, the wound on Anthony's abdomen heals as before, leaving not even a trace of scarring.

"Brother Fogel, wake up, wake up!" Roland slapped Anthony on the cheek.

Anthony shook his head, opened his eyes blankly and looked at Roland for a long time before he came back to his senses.

"Why are you here?"

"Or who else are you counting on to save you, that beautiful and sexy female doctor?" Roland teased.

"Well, speaking of Dr. Yusefka...... What the hell! She can't be a perverted murderer, right? Anthony shuddered, sat up abruptly and stroked his abdomen, "I was woken up by a burst of music, and as soon as I woke up, I saw a big hole in my belly, and there were blood-stained scissors next to it, Roland, tell me, it's all a nightmare?" ”

"Unfortunately, the truth is quite the opposite, if I hadn't arrived at the clinic in time to stop Yusefka from taking your internal organs, you would have probably been transformed into a half-human, half-maggot monster by now."

"Oh my God, it's terrible! I really regret trusting that enchantress! Anthony was heartbroken, "What's wrong with this world, a beautiful woman has a vicious heart!" ”
