Lord of War

[The special item "Holy Demon Skeleton" has been detected. This item can purify the ominous power in your body. Do you want to use it? 】

The system's cold mechanical voice without any emotion echoed in Sean's mind.

Moreover, it was obvious that he repeated it over and over again tirelessly, as if Sean would not give up until he gave an accurate answer.

It's just that Sean obviously didn't give any clear answer, and he was thinking about a question at this time.

The importance of the skeleton of the holy demon was clearly recorded in the manuscript of the exorcist, which is why Sean came to look for it. According to the statement in that manuscript, Xiao En should be able to break through to the high-level golden realm the moment he obtained the skeleton of the holy demon, but at this time, the sound in the system is just to purify the ominous power in the body? So what is worth discussing is, what does this unknown force refer to? Is it the dark power in his body, or is it something else he doesn't know?

"What's the matter?" Seeming to see Sean's hesitation, Zecilia asked softly, "Are you all right?"

"Oh? Oh! It's okay." Sean was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses. He shook his head with a light smile, and then turned his gaze to the piece of bone that was already in his hand.

The data from the Eye of Reality shows that it is also very different from the past.

[Holy Demon Skeleton: Special material judgment (unknown), hardness? ? ? . 】

[Item description: No one knows the origin and value of this kind of thing. It seems that there is an extremely subtle special power on it, but only those who resonate with this power will discover it. In the eyes of normal people, this is a beautiful piece of bone, perhaps it can be used as some kind of decoration. 】

Under the observation of the Eye of Reality, everything in this world cannot be hidden from the data displayed by the Eye of Reality. But now, apart from showing the "special material" of this holy demon skeleton, the specific material is unknown, and the specific use of this thing is not explained. This also means that although the name of this thing is called the Holy Demon Skeleton, it is obviously not a bone material.

This really surprised Sean.

The disturbing voice of the system is also constantly echoing.

Sean hesitated for a while, then finally chose to use it as if he had made some major decision.

In the next moment, Sean let out a scream.

Yes, a real scream.

Because there was an extremely hot feeling from the palm of his right hand, that feeling seemed to completely melt his hand. This kind of severe pain was something Sean had never felt before, so he had to scream like a scream to distract himself from the pain, but the severe pain caused by this holy devil bone Obviously some are beyond the tolerance range of normal people.

At least, now Sean knew why so many people could not bear the "influence" of the Holy Demon Skeleton. For the vast majority of people, I am afraid that they would rather degenerate or alienate than bear this kind of pain.

But the really scary thing obviously doesn't stop there.

This small piece of holy demon skeleton suddenly exploded quickly, just like the internal brittle cracks caused by the burning black charcoal due to the high temperature.

Several cracks exploded on the holy demon bone, and then the whole holy demon bone was completely shattered, and then an astonishing amount of silver liquid spewed out from the holy demon bone.

The amount of these liquids is completely beyond the imagination of normal people, because logically speaking, such a thing that is only one finger long and two finger wide is obviously impossible to have so many liquids no matter how condensed and compressed it is. weight.

Judging from this level of scale, it is at least equivalent to the capacity of one cubic meter, and may even be more.

A large amount of silver liquid spewed out, and then turned into a silver flying dragon in mid-air, rushing in from Xiao En's screaming opened mouth like something with spirituality. This extremely weird scene lasted for more than ten seconds, and Sean was obviously very uncomfortable during this process, because his eyes were wide open, almost jumping out of their eye sockets, and his body was constantly emitting There was a burst of shaking, which looked like an electric shock.

Seeing Sean's situation, several people nearby immediately wanted to stop or rescue them, but an invisible force blocked them all three to four centimeters away from Sean. This distance is not far, but it will make people more anxious and crazy, because they can only watch Sean struggling continuously and enduring pain that is obviously beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

When all the bones of the holy demon transformed into liquid were completely flushed into Sean's mouth, Sean fell to the ground as if he was paralyzed. Take it out generally wet. But at this time, everyone still couldn't get close to Sean, even Harding and Cecilia, the two sanctuary powerhouses—in other words, the two of them were more sensitive to the surrounding senses and judgments, and their intuition told If they forcibly approach, it may cause a stronger rebound.

At this moment, Sean felt like he was in a melting pot.

He could feel the hot silver liquid in his body rushing on rampage—that feeling, as if the inside of his body was regarded as a battlefield, and with an almost overwhelming advantage, it crazily killed its enemies : That is, the dark power in Xiao En's body. Under such a powerful offensive of this silver liquid, if the dark power in Xiao En's body does not want to be wiped out, then naturally he needs to counterattack, so all the dark power in this moment is gone violently.

However, the more the dark forces run amuck fully and thoroughly, the deeper and clearer Sean's pain becomes.

He could feel the boiling of dark power, and the superimposed power of this boiling and hot silver liquid was obviously not as simple as one plus one equals two. At this moment, Sean even felt that he was about to melt. The intense heat made him almost suffocate, as if his whole body would be completely ignited the next moment. But every time Sean was about to faint, the silver liquid slowed down in a very timely manner, so that the crisis that was enough to make Sean faint would not appear—at least this gave Sean a little Breathe.

But when Sean has enough time to breathe, this silver liquid will explode with a stronger "aggressiveness", stimulating the dark power to boil again.

It seems that this silver liquid has its own wisdom and will, and it is constantly testing Xiao En's final bottom line. This kind of situation where he wanted to pass out but couldn't, and could only endure the pain made Xiao En feel extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, he even hated why his will was so high.

But although this painful feeling is extremely long for Xiao En, it seems to be very short in the eyes of outsiders.

At least, not as long as Sean imagined.

When Sean's face finally recovered, Cecilia rushed over immediately, hugged the nearly collapsed Sean, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Sean panted, but his voice was extremely weak, "I just didn't expect that the solution to this thing would be so simple and rude. But it turns out that this is indeed very effective, at least... …I don’t have to worry about turning into a demon or anything any more.”

Hearing Sean's words, Cecilia, who was already in tears, immediately showed joy on her face: "Really? This is really great!...Although it is a bit painful, at least it should be regarded as very rewarding , isn't it?"

"I think, yes." Sean nodded with a wry smile, and at the same time opened his personal attribute panel, "Don't worry about me, at least I'm fine now, just let me rest for a while.  … You guys, why don't you take advantage of this to see if there is anything worth taking away from here, and we will leave here as soon as I recover a little bit, I don't want to run into those guys from the Blackwater Tribe."

"According to my observation of you, I'm afraid it will take a long time for you to recover your mobility." Harding glanced at Sean, and then said, "I think we can wait here for a while. It is best After those guys from the Blackwater Tribe come back, we’ll leave at night, so...you’d better take a good rest now, such as taking a nap or something.”

In fact, what Harding said is indeed very correct.

Because Sean saw an extremely weak state added to his personal panel, and this state would last for a full twelve hours, all his mobility was also reduced by 90% due to this state. This also means that before this state disappears, Sean will lose all related actions including all action capabilities such as mobility and combat capabilities.

Therefore, Sean was naturally noncommittal about Harding's proposal.

And he really needs to check his personal state immediately, because this time the realm improvement is also very different from his previous situation.

When he felt the heat wave in his body finally calm down, two new system prompts sounded in Sean's mind.

The first system prompt was the same as the usual rank promotion, indicating that he had been promoted to the eighth-level profession.

[Magic Seal Master (eighth-level occupation): The ominous power in your body has finally been completely purified, and the problems that have troubled you for a long time are now finally solved. After losing the obsession of the unknown force, you find that your magic sense of the outside world has become more acute. You start to find that the way of fighting is not just limited to swinging weapons. 】

【Employment Reward 1

Multiple magic seals: Because you have withstood the purification torture of the holy demon bones, your willpower has been greatly improved, and you find that you seem to be able to seal and use more dark creatures. And you are no longer limited by the previous seal constraints, you can not only replace the magic seal effect, but even activate several magic seal effects at the same time (now you can replace the magic seal effect you don't like, and it will not produce any negative effects function; you can seal more dark creatures to make magic seals, and activate the effects of these magic seals at the same time.);

Painful Will: You have withstood the test of purification of the bones of the holy demon, and you have not given up or alienated because of this. You have proved to the world that your strength can stand the test. (Strength ten old, strength limit ten old, endurance ten old, endurance limit ten old, agility middle old, agility limit ten, wisdom mouth, wisdom limit ten, willpower ten old, will limit blank);

Blessing of Holy Water: You can gain a temporary power boost by consuming Pilgrim's Holy Water. (Taking a pilgrim's holy water can give you a special reward of doubling your combat power in the next 30 minutes, and you can only take it once every 24 hours.)]

【Inauguration Punishment 1

Sigil Limit: When you activate the third Sigil, the Will attribute will be permanently reduced. After that, every time you activate one more magic seal, the reduction penalty of the will attribute will be doubled; when you have two magic seal effects at the same time, for each additional one, your will attribute will be temporarily reduced, and each additional activation will With a magic seal effect, the penalty for reducing the will attribute will be doubled]

After Sean opened his personal panel, he quickly saw these introductions and instructions.

Judging from the superficial data, this time's improvement of realm didn't bring about much change in Sean's strength, endurance, agility, and wisdom. Basically, it can be said that there is no difference from the previous seven levels.

But only the will attribute has undergone earth-shaking changes, because this ability has the largest increase, and the limit has been increased by 25 points, which is almost comparable to the promotion of a ninth-level magician.

Any "Miracle" player is very clear that all the professions in the game may not have a special attribute bias in the early stage, but with the promotion of the class and the determination of the direction of specialization, the bias of attribute increase will only become more and more obvious . Therefore, in the middle and late stages of the game, every time a player's class level increases, the degree of increase in his attributes can well explain the future development direction of this class.

Of course, most of the time, players will make half-breaks based on this point, because the introduction of these classes is a bit vague, and the inauguration rewards and inauguration penalties always make many people feel confused.

But obviously, Sean's advancement this time does not have such a problem.

Even if his personal attributes didn't increase so significantly, Sean knew that the direction of his career development must be related to the will attribute. After all, the inauguration reward and inauguration punishment have been made very clear. As long as he has enough will attributes, his [magic sealer] profession can exert an extremely heaven-defying effect, but if he lacks enough will attributes, then His strength growth has not improved much.

Sean's gaze quickly turned to the column of personal attributes.

Today, Sean's naked attributes are Strength; 62 (); Dexterity: 63 (88); Endurance; 56 (); Wisdom: 53 (78); Will; 54 (97).

In other words, if Sean is willing to invest a lot of proficiency points in the will attribute, then he can completely increase the will attribute by another thirty-three points at most. But this is the growth limit. If he wants to continue to improve the will attribute, then he must find a way to increase the maximum growth amount of the will attribute, otherwise his will will stop at ninety-seven points until his next time. Rank promotion.

And if you count the increase of various equipment, etc., the personal attribute is

Strength: 62+51+21 (86) agility; 63+55+21 (88); stamina; 56+30 (86); wisdom; 53+23 (78) will; 54+25+5 (97).

Among them, the extra blackjack attribute of strength and agility comes from [Mysterious Sword Art, Changed], and the extra five-point increase of the will attribute comes from the first time I entered the barren land, it was acquired by the Nordic master. Obtained after being injured by Bloodline Trademaster Burrell. But even so, the attribute of will is only ninety-four points.

According to the current inauguration rewards and punishments, Xiao En silently calculated, and found that the strength that the ninety-four points of will attribute can improve is too limited.

If he wants to activate the third magic seal effect, then his will attribute will drop by ten points, and if he activates the fourth one, then it will drop by thirty points. And in battle, if you want to maintain the effects of four magic seals at the same time, you will also be punished by an additional 15 points of temporary decrease in will attribute. In other words, if Sean decides to activate the four magic seals, then his will attribute will drop by as much as forty-five points.

As we all know, the level of the will attribute largely determines a person's resistance to soul energy magic, as well as his ability to persist in many other aspects. For example, people with high will attributes can still maintain a high combat effectiveness in some harsh environments, and will not be easily disturbed by the environment to reduce their personal combat effectiveness. The growth rate of such negative attribute values ​​will also be greatly suppressed.

Although the judging criteria have never been officially announced, there will never be a lack of sophisticated parties in the game. So under the research of these guys who are very idle but worthy of respect, people soon found that every 50 points increase in the will attribute, the decline rate of various abilities will have an impact of about 3% fluctuation value. Don't underestimate the 3% fluctuation value. In the case of high-level players, this 3% change often represents one or two powerful attack skills in the hands of high-level players, or even multiple attacks. Run that little distance, swing that one more attack, and so on.

The will attribute of ninety-four points is not very good in the realm of high-level gold, it can only be said to be a relatively satisfactory statistic. But one of the prerequisites here is that Sean does not activate the third or even fourth magic seal. Once he activates multiple magic seals, his will attribute will be greatly reduced, and it will drop to a more dangerous level. stage.

For Sean, multiple magic seals are a real double-edged sword.

Sean's eyes couldn't help but look at his proficiency point.

Because he advanced to high-level gold, and Sean also has enough experience to burn the level, so this time he got 20 proficiency points in one go, plus the ten proficiency points that were lacking in the low-level gold before. After breaking through at this time, all of them will be returned, so Sean now has a total of 30 unused proficiency points. Moreover, there is another item in his backpack that can also increase the attribute of will.

What Sean is hesitant about now is whether to put all these proficiency points into the will attribute.

However, after hesitating again and again, Sean was still reluctant to put all thirty proficiency points into the will attribute. After all, this thing will never depreciate, and it can be used at any time, and the most important thing is that Sean doesn't have any demons or devils to catch now—although Sean knows where the Miracle Continent is now. He met these guys, but he currently doesn't have time to capture them, so choosing to activate multiple magic seals now is a waste in Sean's view.

So cruel, Sean still didn't make such a extravagant move after all.

However, Sean felt that it was necessary for him to take a look at the steeple. After all, the attributes of the legendary rings, the Twin Rings of Destiny, were too drooling. In particular, the tears of scarlet also add 15 points of wisdom and 15 points of will

Now Sean has begun to become obsessed with all the equipment that can increase the attribute of will.

There is no way, after all, the level of the will attribute determines the level of Xiao En's future combat effectiveness. He doesn't like to be a strong man for three minutes or five minutes, because almost when he saw the reward of multiple magic seals, he had already conceived a perfect combination of magic seals in his mind. It can allow him to have the strength to truly rival the lower Sanctuary powerhouses, and from now on he no longer needs to be limited by the time-limited problems of light-weight techniques and adrenal stimulation.

It's just these, Sean has no way to get them for the time being.

Because what he lacks the most now is time—whether it is hunting demons, devils, or even other dark creatures, or looking at the steeple to find those mages seeking to unseal the double rings of fate, obviously it will take a long time time. So even though Sean is really impatient now, his real situation is still powerless. After all, he can't be selfish enough to only care about his own affairs and ignore the safety of all his followers.

Especially now that Sean has received a world quest that can be counted as the main quest.

This was also the second system prompt that Sean heard after the purification of the holy demon's bones was completed.
