Chapter 398: Chapter 398

The upgrade of the Disintegration Spell was as Du You had expected, except that the attribute rules had seen a significant upgrade. Previously, he needed to use the Disintegration Spell three times to decompose a sacrificial offering into fragments.

Now, he should be able to do it in a single go, as long as it isn’t blocked by special defenses, the sacrificial offering would not be able to withstand it. Moreover, the fragments that are formed now should be much smaller than before.

The heavily armed warriors that used to give him a headache, if they were still of the previous level, he could now decompose their defenses in one move without the Dissolution Spell. There was even a possibility that he could severely damage them in a single move.

After upgrading the Disintegration Spell to the 11th level peak, next was the Spell Splitting Skill. What Du You didn’t expect was that after being upgraded to the 11th level, the Spell Splitting Skill didn’t split into 11 separate spells.

"Seems like, I’ve overthought it. If this could constantly split, it would become an invincible skill."

Spell Splitting Skill: Pay (Level-10) times the magic power to release (Level -10) spells. Level one spells can be split up to 10 times. (11 levels, 10 stars)

With the variation in the Spell Splitting Skill, he could subtly control the power when using spells. If he controlled the spell power at a level one, he could still release up to ten spells at once, just like before.

But if it reaches the power of level 11, there would be no way to split it right now. This ability is ideal to deal with smaller enemies, but if facing stronger ones, there would be no need to split the Spell.

A level one skill, even if split into ten ways, would not be as potent as a level two skill. Furthermore, the consumption of magic power is much more than using a level two spell, making it completely uneconomical.

The variation in the Spell Splitting Skill seemed to provide more options in the use of his skills.

Du You continued to upgrade the next skill, the Shield Spell. As he invested ten Red Crystal Coins, the defensive ability of his Shield Spell became more exaggerated. The most notable change was in the casting distance and shape.

Previously, he could only create a quarter sphere, covering his front area at most. But now it was different, Du You discovered that his Shield Spell could now create a full hemisphere, that is to say, he could completely enfold himself from all directions. As long as the attack didn’t come from underground, he could block it.

In an instant, the practicality of the Shield Spell increased significantly. Moreover, the casting range was also greatly expanded.

But the consumption had escalated correspondingly, the stronger the defense, the more horrifying the consumption.

Last of all, Du You upgraded the Dissolution Spell. The Dissolution Spell did not have any variations. It was just like Disintegration Spell, only seeing an increase in power. The Spell Splitting Skill still had no effect on the Dissolution Spell.

However, this skill was originally used to make up for his weaknesses, so Du You did not have any major expectations for changes in this skill.

After upgrading these four skills, Du You temporarily possessed no desire to enhance his other spells. He would figure out how to transform them into Dark Attribute in the future.

Next, Du You looked at his summoning skills. The first one was to summon Xiaozi, or Purple Lightning Golden Eagle. Without hesitation, Du You upgraded Xiaozi, his closest pet, to the peak level of 11. The skill did not change.

No additional skills or other attributes were added, just a change in the tag behind it, now showing Magic Power: 100%. It wasn’t just Xiaozi, other Summoned Beasts also had this tag.

Although Du You did not test it, he knew that the power of his Purple Lightning Golden Eagle, Xiaozi, had indeed increased greatly. The transition from a level one to two was a substantial metamorphosis.

One red crystal coin per skill, there were not so many considerations for the summoning skills. Du You once again upgraded the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, and their strength improved along with it, making steady progress in various aspects.

"What a pity. The collar of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs is almost useless now." Du You looked at the only equipment of the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs. It was level one equipment and didn’t have much effect on the level two Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dog.

There was nothing to replace it for now, so he might as well just keep it. Anyway, it’s better than nothing.

The last to be upgraded was the Death Scorpion. Looking at these summoned creatures, basically no changes could be seen before any experimentation. But the Death Scorpion was different from other summoned creatures; it had actually gained a new skill.

Controlling Sand: within the desert domain, it can control the sand to shape-shift for attack or defense purposes.

"At least there’s some gain." The previous Death Scorpion could only cover the sand on its body, forming a quicksand armor for attack and defense, and then resort to a mutually destructive course of action.

But now it was different, the Death Scorpion could control the sand to shape-shift and attack. This gave Du You a lot of ideas. He just didn’t know if this ability to control sand was powerful enough to achieve what he imagined.

No matter, he would know when the time comes for a test. The Death Scorpion had just perished along with the Beastman city’s lord, and it hadn’t been 12 hours yet, so it couldn’t be summoned temporarily even if he wanted to test it.

In the end, Du You looked at the Cursed Crow King, but after some thought, he gave up on it. The Cursed Crow King was different from other skills; due to insufficient preparation, the skill level was only at 8 stars.

Du You planned to refrain for the time being, and when the skill was ready for advancement, he would seize the opportunity to upgrade this skill and reach 10 stars. However, there were preparations needed for the upgrade.

Du You looked at some of the knowledge that had popped up in his mind. It wasn’t clear whether this knowledge already existed among Dark Shapers or if it evolved automatically after advancing, or perhaps it was a combination of both. After all, after his Spellcaster advancement, some knowledge related to Spellcasters also appeared in his mind. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

These were mainly the ones he already knew, which had further evolved in that direction.

However, as Du You read on, his face changed: "Are you kidding me? I can’t use the Dark Element Stones anymore? No, it’s not that I can’t use them, but I can’t use the low-level ones anymore. There are actually grades for Dark Element Stones. To create new summoned creatures in the future, only a higher-grade level two Dark Element Stone can be used, and the ones I bought before were only level one."

It was impossible for Du You not to regret it, he simply didn’t know about this before.

In his personal space, there was still a block of Dark Element Stone lying around, which was also level one.

If this Dark Element Stone had been used before, it could have produced an additional summoned creature. But now, it’s no longer usable.

"Wait a minute. Since the Dark Element Stone is a condensed form of dark power anyway, and my skills which haven’t advanced are still at level one, can I use the Dark Element Stone to transform them into Dark Attributes?"
