Chapter 1522: Chapter 1522

Du You and the two sisters were advancing, and the Summoned Beast Duo was not to be outdone. After being suppressed in the battle against Xiaozi last time, this guy was shamed into bravery and bit down harder than anyone.

As a Divine Beast, Duo had great innate talents from the start, so the benefits he received were substantial.

Even without Du You’s resource support, he managed to advance all three of his skills on his own.

Following his Dispersion Aura, Holy Flame Trample successfully evolved into Holy Flame Control. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

Holy Flame Control: Command the holy flames, utilize flames condensed with Light Attribute to launch various attacks at enemies, particularly effective against Dark Creatures. The body burns with Holy Flame, granting certain offensive and defensive capabilities. Holy Flame has an extremely strong purifying effect on evil forces, and it also attracts hostility from Evil Creatures. (Level 61, 9 stars)

This skill has almost completely changed, utterly different from before. The previous Holy Flame Trampling was just Duo burning Holy Flame on his four hooves, then kicking and stomping to attack enemies.

Now it is different; this skill has become a complete ability. Although it has not Strengthened the Holy Flame, it can now use Holy Flame as a type of flame. Direct attack power might not be stronger than pure flames, but it possesses a strong Light Attribute. Its lethality against Dark Creatures and Evil Creatures far surpasses normal flames.

Moreover, what was initially only flames on the hooves has become an ability to burn flames all over the body. A Unicorn cloaked in flames is imposing, and the defensive and offensive capabilities that come with these flames are no joke.

With this skill, the originally combat-averse nature of Duo has been totally transformed.

In the past, Duo had powerful moves, single-target attacks, and melee attacks. However, he lacked area-of-effect attacks, which Holy Flame now compensates for. Moreover, the versatility of the flames, if well-used, could rival that of a Mage.

The next skill to advance was Duo’s bread-and-butter, Divine Blessing. In the early days, Duo did not participate in combat; it was through Divine Blessing that he became an indispensable member of the team.

Divine Blessing: Range tier × 100 kilometers, all attributes of blessed units increase by tier × 1%. (Level 61, 9 stars)

The advancement of this skill remains brutally simple. The range has increased ten thousand fold, from formerly tier × 10 meters to now tier × 100 kilometers, a crude addition of four zeroes.

Such a range is staggeringly massive. Spanning over 6000 kilometers, many small planets could be completely covered in one go. After reaching tier 7, the improvements in all aspects are incredibly drastic, incomparable to before.

Of course, if really used over such a vast range, and if too many people within the range are blessed, Duo’s consumption would also be immense. Or rather, the consumption of this skill increases with the number of blessed units and the range of blessing.

The increase in strength remains the same as before, now directly improved by 61%. Any Summoned Beast enhanced this much would perform completely differently from before, almost on a different level.

With just this one skill, Du You now feels he could bridge two tiers, matching up against a level 63 enemy.

To Du You’s surprise, Duo’s last evolved skill was unexpectedly the Illusionary Doppelganger. This skill was originally meant to confuse enemies and preserve life, and its effectiveness was only considered decent.

Now, Duo is not as fearful of death as before, and unexpectedly advanced this skill. But when Du You saw this skill, he slowly began to understand Duo’s thoughts.

Illusionary Doppelganger: Constructs a doppelganger with Holy Light that perfectly mimics the original in breath, the doppelganger has no combat power, and the main body can freely swap places with the doppelganger. The number of doppelgangers is equal to the level. Doppelgangers come with Holy Flame. (Level 61, 9 stars)

The main ability of the doppelganger remains unchanged. However, now the doppelganger can even deceive the eyes of tier 7 powerhouses. With such doppelgangers, Du You finds that his Spiritual Perception seems unable to detect which is the real one, significantly enhancing Duo’s survivability.

Since Duo does not possess Spatial Law, the ability to swap places in this skill is no longer a spatial ability.

Even though Duo could forcibly tear through space using Light Attribute power, doing so would consume more and cause massive spatial fluctuations, alerting others, which would render the skill meaningless.

However, using the Light Attribute to construct also achieves a very powerful effect. Instantly swapping positions between each other, as long as there is light, accomplishes not just the speed of light, but a speed that surpasses it.

The last addition to this skill is a special ability, which is to possess Holy Flame.

After letting Duo experiment with this skill, Du You finally understood what this skill was really meant for.

Originally, the doppelganger had no attack power, but with the addition of Holy Flame, it’s different now. Given that Holy Flame itself possesses certain defensive capabilities, the doppelganger, having a form or mimicking a form, has become even harder to distinguish.

Moreover, each doppelganger can now use Holy Flame to attack, and even though they are not as powerful as the original, they can still be used for harassment. If well-exploited, it can greatly enhance Duo’s combat capabilities. These seemingly insignificant doppelgangers, if not carefully dealt with, can also cause injuries to tier 7 powerhouses. That’s their purpose.

An immensely strengthened Duo, full of aggressive energy, went to fight Xiaozi again. However, the result was even more pitiful than before since Xiaozi had adapted to her own Law powers and perfected her base. This time, Duo suffered even more.

After losing again, Duo was disheartened, but then began to Cultivate even more diligently.

Seeing this situation, Du You didn’t mind; as long as strength improved, state of mind didn’t matter. Getting used to being beaten was fine as long as improvement in strength was real.

The advancement of their main skills took a lot of their energy, so much so that they didn’t have time to advance their other skills. If those advanced skills could evolve into Law skills, the improvement would be substantial.

Unfortunately, just when Du You and others were ready to investigate advancing their skills, trouble came again.

"Mandatory quest from the alliance, didn’t expect it to be forced upon tier 7 this time, it seems this quest isn’t simple," sighed Du You looking at the new information, feeling somewhat dejected.

Even having reached tier 7, he hadn’t expected things to get easier, instead, it felt more urgent. Fortunately, he hadn’t slacked off during this time, otherwise, he would be in danger with this type of combat mission.
