307 Mental Scour

As he was partly inhuman and at the same time a being of flesh and blood, Incarnation Randy was essentially an anomaly that shouldn’t have existed. After Randy failed to create him with 99.99% accuracy, his fundamental constructs should have collapsed and he should have disappeared into nothingness as a result.

Despite that, Incarnation Randy somehow managed to survive. In addition to surviving his first inception, after his second inception, he only retained a few defects. The turn of events was very enigmatic and mystifying, to put it mildly.

Before his resuscitation, he only maintained a trace of his consciousness and could be considered on the verge of death. However, the main reason why he still did not die was that he wasn’t a complete human in the first place. By that logic, it was highly possible that Incarnation Randy would someday become a complete incarnation.

Considering his track record of surviving certain death as well as his ability to not only survive but surpass his previous state, that was not an unimaginable possibility. At least that was what Incarnation Randy himself thought of his strange body after examining it for a while.

That aside, the thing he discovered when he activated the [Ancestral Regression] skill was that, although the form of the innate talent, [Transfiguration] was related to his ancestral bloodlines, it wasn’t possible for him to use the [Ancestral Regression] skill to initiate the [Transfigured Form] as he did with the Crimson-haired [Ancestral Form].

Incarnation Randy decided to experiment more later on to find out why that was the case. But for now, he decided to put it to the side and deal with pressing matters. Although perhaps as a result of his personality flaw, he tended to like playing around or having fun, that did not mean that he would neglect his duties simply because of that yearning.

After all, he could just find a way to satisfy his interests while carrying out his duty. His policy was to work and then have fun. Working all the time without any chance to relax in between could cause dullness, a trait that seemed to be present in his main self.

After Incarnation Randy was done with his morning routine, he proceeded to change his clothes, except for the black coat, which was his armor. He then walked downstairs and took a few minutes to have breakfast, which was provided by the inn. After he finished with his breakfast, he left the inn right away to check on Gutz’s progress in the Coliseum.

Throughout all three days spent in the inn, Incarnation Randy was cooped up in his room. He refused to leave his room until he learned more about the newfound power that he coined [Transfiguration].

.....

As a result of his decision, he wasn’t able to go out to continue his postponed tour, which was incomplete because he had to spend an extended period of time gathering information from Barian and Zante, the two Holy Knights.

Despite having to stay in his room all these three days, he didn’t regret his decision to study his discovered innate talent. Furthermore, he had pretty much seen everything there was to see three days ago.

So far, he has visited Market Street, Residential Street, Church Street, and Entertainment Street. The remaining sections of Imperial City that he hadn’t visited were probably Aristocratic Street, Society Street, and Mercenary Street.

There was no need to visit Aristocratic Street and Mercenary Street.



He was initially interested in Mercenary Street for various reasons, but he decided to postpone his interest until later on. As for Society Street? Later, he would visit it with Gutz in order to check in with the Society for Dungeon Hunters.

Besides these reasons for staying in his room, if he ventured out frequently these three days, the casino, which he had offended, and had most likely put a target on his back, would undoubtedly make an attempt on his life in the event that he found himself alone out there.

Although he wasn’t afraid of challenges, he still wanted to be in top shape before fighting once more. That way, he would be able to make full use of every skill or ability in his arsenal to fight his enemies.

That was extremely crucial preparation. Because it would enable him to have more cohesive control of his body and power.



A few weeks ago.

In an isolated dimension.

Inside the Safe Room.

Randy had taken out the corpse of the Holy Knight Captain of the Church of Light and carefully placed it on the floor of the Safe Room. He then proceeded to examine the state of the corpse.

The Holy Knight Captain was wearing full-body golden armor with white as a decorative design on the surface. He had blonde hair and pale blue eyes. His face, on the other hand, began to pale the moment he took his corpse out of the spatial ring, which had a portable locked space devoid of the concept of time.

In other words, everything placed inside the spatial ring would be in stasis, but after they are taken out, they begin to be affected by time as evident in the Holy Knight Captain’s corpse.

After Randy finished examining the corpse, he closed his eyes and recollected the instructions given by the knowledge he acquired from his sea of knowledge.

With the instructions still fresh in his mind, Randy acted right away. He mobilized and projected his Psionic energy through his hand. Then, he pressed his hand on the forehead of the corpse, sending his Psionic energy deep inside its brain.





A few moments later, Randy carefully guided and allowed his psionic energy to permeate every fiber of the brain tissues. He then cast a spell with only two beckoning words of command.

[Memory Scour]

The moment he commanded his psionic energy with these two beckoning words, it surged violently inside the brain of the Holy Knight Captain’s head nonstop. It was as if the psionic energy was intended to devour the brain of the corpse, but that wasn’t the case.

A short while later, Randy removed his right hand away from the corpse’s head. At the same time, he retracted the psionic energy he sent inside the corpse’s brain earlier into his mind through his brain.

Following this sequence of actions, a stream of scenes started appearing and playing inside Randy’s head. These scenes are the memories of the Holy Knight Captain, observed from a first-person perspective.

Randy was aware of the effects of the [Memory Scour] spell. He knew that having another person’s memory invade his own memory would have an adverse effect on his personality and identity.

Therefore, as per instruction, he used his psionic energy to form a protective layer inside his Mind Space through thought visualization. This separated the two memories away from each other until he fully grasped them as an experience separate from his true memories.

A while later, Randy had roughly observed most of the life experiences of the Holy Knight Captain. His name was Kolat Grant. A direct heir to the Grant Family, a highly prominent aristocratic family famous in Acruxia.

The Grant Family were so prominent that even the Royal Family had to show them respect. Their respect was even greater when faced with their mysterious ancestor. Randy had decided to skim through most of the memories, as they were either useless or unpleasant to look at.

According to his most recent memory, Kolat Grant was assigned a mission to find the possible hideout of a plausible Vampire Queen. The Vampire Queen’s traces were found in the Meistic Forest. In the middle of the mission in the Meistic Forest, they met Klara, who was gathering herbs for their village.

As for the remaining events, that was already history. After all, that was when Randy arrived and killed him to rescue Klara from his clutches.

Having observed Zolat’s memory, Randy witnessed scenes similar to what was happening to Klara playing out on multiple occasions. Most of his victims were commoners. Very few were aristocratic. Furthermore, those aristocratic ladies had insignificant backgrounds compared to him.

The disgusting part was that some of the ladies he had his way with were wives of common men. In other words, he cuckolded the men of those women and threatened them with the destruction of their families if they reported his deed.

As for the people he laid his hands on, they were the lost, innocent young girls whom he ran into by chance during his ‘sacred’ missions.

Whether it was considered Zolat’s retribution for his conduct as a Holy Knight or not, the Cardinal of the Church of Light, who was his titular superior, at least in the church, had somehow learned about his blasphemous deeds. He then threatened to use it against him.

Hence, Zolat was instructed by the Cardinal to find the location of the possible Vampire Queen under the guise of dealing with the disappearances of the outskirt villagers.

The Cardinal wanted him to submit his results to him in exchange for him not letting the public and the Royal Family become aware of his blasphemous act caused by being possessed by a demon. Naturally, he wanted to take credit for discovering the location of the Vampire Queen, but he didn’t wish to risk his life in doing so. Thus, he ended up using Zolat.

Randy had a scowl on his face the entire time. He was extremely repulsed by Zolat’s actions, but even more so by the action of the Cardinal, who condoned his behavior in exchange for some credit.

After Randy finished browsing through the memories, he decided to seal those memories and find a way to get rid of them later.
