Four Split Personalities

What would be the consequence if an undead mage drank holy water?

Boom!

"Ah!!!!" Meddy suddenly screamed loudly. But because of the barrier activated earlier, his sound obviously couldn’t leave the cabin. Pale flames ignited within his body, burning his flesh and soul. In other words, his health was rapidly declining.

At this point, Motan’s plan was already 90% complete.

Previously, when he left the street, he didn’t rush here immediately. Instead, he found a small shop and bought a flask using the money in the grocer’s wallet. Then he filled it with plain water and began praying earnestly, successfully creating a simple version of [Holy Water].

Then he managed to glean a lot of information about Meddy from the town’s folk under various pretexts before he set off.

One hour later, the former priest, now an undead mage - Meddy Leven, was in his own cabin, burning, and it seemed like he was soon going to be at death’s door.

But...

"You despicable... vile... bastard! Maggot! Trash!" Meddy croaked, struggling step by step towards Motan, "Pay the price! You think you can kill me just by tricking me into drinking some holy water? You should know that I am..."

"A former priest, right? I gathered from others that you preached to some children every Sunday." Motan’s voice sounded devilish in Meddy’s ears, and he chuckled softly, "Your knowledge of Holy Light is much stronger than your study of undead magic. This is why you have not been ’purified’ for so many years, and also the reason why you’re confident that you won’t be destroyed by holy water, but..."

Thud!

Meddy fell to his knees, spitting out streaks of black blood from his mouth.

"Who told you this is just holy water?"

[Fake Holy Water]

One-time consumable

Effect: Unknown

[Note: made from a hypocritical prayer from an unbeliever]

Meddy attempted to dissolve the effect of holy water with the power of his faith and in doing so, took a second hit, one that was spiritual.

If consuming holy water would cause significant damage to a creature with an undead-friendly constitution, then this bottle of fake holy water has both the effect of the former while also causing any powers granted by a deity to backlash.

Of course, it’s useless to high-level beings such as the head of a priesthood (at least level 35 of the Holy Light School) or a zealous believer, but Meddy clearly did not come under that category. Hence, moments later, he was on his last breath...

"Mana..." The fallen old man reached out his arm, mumbling in a feeble voice as if trying to grasp something. The agony on his face from earlier had turned into relief at this final moment. He smiled.

"She has been waiting for you for a long time." Motan crouched in front of Meddy. His voice was unprecedentedly gentle,"You can rest now, Mr. Meddy."

"I’ve waited... waited too long for this moment..."

The moment Meddy Leven stopped breathing, he turned into a heap of black ash.

The next second, the system’s voice echoed in Motan’s mind:

[You’ve unlocked the job: Fraud, level 2, experience 77/150]

[You’ve obtained a new skill]

[You’ve obtained the talent: Unbeliever]

[Guided tasks completed; you may choose a reward job: Thief/Warrior/Mage, and gain 60 experience points.]

[Task completion 300%, reward: one equipment, optional 150 experience points.]

[Unlocked Itemography, Characterography, Storyography]

[Holy water, Fake Holy Water, Meddy Leven, ’The Love of Meddy’ have been added to itemography]

[You’ve gained a unique mission, unique tasks unlocked]

"Well, that was beneficial..." Motan mumbled distractedly, and then picked up a ring from the pile of ashes on the ground. As expected, it was an item of pretty decent quality.

[Meddy’s Wedding Ring]

Type: Ring - Set

Quality: Fine - Unique

Attributes: Intelligence +5, Constitution +5, Strength -1, Undead Knowledge +1

Traits: Additional Skill: Meddy’s Perseverance

Equipment Requirements: None

Set Effect: [Meddy’s Wedding Ring]/[Mana’s Wedding Ring] - Increase Constitution by 10%

[Note: The pair of rings exchanged at the wedding of Meddy Leven and Mana Aine. Mana Aine’s soul once resided in it, and it has never been removed.]

Literally, this ring of fine quality is an excellent piece of equipment for the early stages of the game. It’s something to show off for sure, also being part of a set. Given Motan’s wisdom, it wasn’t difficult for him to guess where the other item was. Without a doubt, the counterpart [Mana’s Wedding Ring] would definitely be beneath the tombstone in the backyard that didn’t have anyone buried below it.

But...

Motan didn’t put it on his finger. Instead, he found a jar in the cabin to store the ashes left by Meddy, then brought both the ashes and the ring to the backyard. After digging up another ring, he reburied the pair along with the jar.

This move was something that most people couldn’t understand, just as they felt puzzled about how Motan could kill the infatuated undead mage without any remorse.

But he didn’t care, or rather, this personality known as Tan Mo didn’t care. He simply wanted to do it, and so he did. As for losing two good pieces of equipment, whether the deceased NPC could ’rest in peace’ or not, those things didn’t bother him.

We can see from here that there are no words that can describe him better than [Neutral Chaos].
