Chapter 816: Chapter 816
"Who’s next?" Standing at the entrance of the Skill Hall, Du You spoke to the two sisters.
"You should still go first, master; we can wait until the end. We won’t encounter any danger here now," both Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi said to Du You simultaneously.
"Then, we’ll take it slow; the Skill Hall can also help the people of the territory to enhance their skill levels. Although it takes quite some time, it doesn’t consume any Crystal Coins. Wait until our skills have fully evolved, then Shaliya, you can use it too."
Ordinary people couldn’t, but Shaliya had long joined the territory, and as the deputy lord, she had access.
Furthermore, the territory also trained some denizens who were from the territory itself. Using the Skill Hall to enhance their skills could indirectly increase the number of talents within his territory.
This method of use was very rarely employed. Only in territories like Du You’s, where there weren’t many external Professionals, could it be used. In most territories, there were hardly enough skills to evolve for Professionals.
Shaliya nodded slightly and didn’t say much, keeping her gratitude to herself.
Without any unnecessary words, Du You took out a black iron arrowhead and placed it into his Skill Hall; this time, he absorbed his Dark Flame Arrow Array. It took over two days again, but this time the cost in Crystal Coins was even less.
Two days later, Du You’s skill returned; its name hadn’t changed, it was still Dark Flame Arrow Array.
Dark Flame Arrow Array: Burns dark attribute flames into arrows, striking within a regional range, dealing double damage to Light Creatures and 20% less damage to Dark Creatures. Number of arrows (level*10) (31st level, 10 stars)
"It seems there’s no change besides the level enhancement; everything else is the same as described on the panel."
As Du You muttered to himself, he walked aside and tested it out, waving his hand to fire a mass of arrows.
"No, there is a change. I can control the arrows more flexibly, and the power of the arrows has indeed increased significantly. They are very powerful against most tier-four enemies. It’s a pity it doesn’t have an explosive effect."
Originally, Du You had thought his arrows would turn into bombs, but they looked similar to before. However, now the targeting had improved a lot. Previously, Du You could only release the Dark Flame Arrow Array dispersively, in all directions.
But now, Du You could control the arrows to form a torrent within a 0.8 miles range, concentrating all arrows in one direction. Even if he used the Spell Splitting Skill, it was the same. If he needed to target something harder to handle, this method could effectively prevent wastage of power, making it stronger.
Encouraged, Du You then placed a Nanmu Shield into the Skill Hall; this time, the skill constructed was his own Shield Spell.
This time, the process took over three days and consumed more Crystal Coins than before. When the skill reappeared, Du You was very satisfied with it.
Shield Spell: Creates a shield at will, providing robust defense. The shield can defend against various kinds of attacks. Upon encountering an attack, it actively defends, capable of multi-point defense (31st level, 10 stars).
"There’s a significant change; my defensive ability has increased a lot going forward."
"Exactly, master, no wonder they say that Mages with strong defensive powers are harder to kill than other Professionals; seeing this skill has made that clear," Lin Yucha was also very pleased with this skill.
On the surface, it appeared unchanged, but in reality, that was not the case.
The new Shield Spell no longer required active usage. If an attack was too fast and exceeded his reaction capability, the Shield Spell would still activate automatically to ward off the enemy’s attack, making it so he needn’t fear being ambushed anymore. Previously, Shield Spell didn’t have such capability. Hence, it was said that going forward, safety was much more secured.
Du You tried it out; the maximum range of the current shield was no longer hemispheric, but an entire sphere, offering perfect defense from above and below, no longer having to worry about comprehensive attacks from all angles leaving him helpless.
A change in the skill was the multi-point defense. Previously, Du You could only control the formation of a single magic shield. If the enemy executed multiple attacks, Du You could only enlarge the shield to defend.
But now, Du You could create multiple smaller shields to defend, minimizing the consumption as much as possible.
Having reached tier four, the continued use of Shield Spell didn’t increase the consumption of Magic Power significantly. Previously, his continuous use of Shield Spell was terrifyingly draining on his Magic Power, and Du You could barely sustain it. But now it was different. Although the consumption was still considerable, he could maintain it for a long time. As long as he had enough Magic Power, routine usage wasn’t a worry.
Tasting the sweetness of the new skills, Du You did not hesitate to continue. He put cladding plates into the Skill Hall, corresponding to Dark Absorption.
Yet again, after over three days, the second defense skill was freshly completed, and its effect was also very significant.
Dark Absorption: Forms a dark shield using Dark Magic Power to absorb the enemy’s attack. Upon encountering an attack, it actively absorbs, can coat itself around the body like armor. It converts 20% of the absorbed enemy’s attack into one’s own Magic Power (31st level, 10 stars).
With the addition of a second layer of defense, Dark Absorption had also become an active defense skill. Previously, Dark Absorption primarily disintegrated and absorbed the enemy’s power, releasing it after absorption, causing waste.
But now, with 20% of that absorbed power converted into his own Magic Power, it served to replenish himself.
Nevertheless, Dark Absorption was increasingly targeted at energy attacks; its effect was much lesser on physical attacks. Fortunately, this layer of defense was initially intended as a supplement to the Shield Spell. With both layers of defense combined, he was now incredibly tough.
Even if he encountered formidable tier-four enemies difficult to combat in the future, at least he wouldn’t be easily killed by his enemies.
With his safety secured, nothing could give Du You more peace of mind than this. Newest update provıded by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Next up was the multi-headed pen, which was for his Spell Splitting Skill.
Spell Splitting Skill: Incurs a Magic Power cost of (level-30) times, releasing a number of spells equal to (level-30). It can split up to 10 spells of tier four and below (31st level, 10 stars).
"There’s not much change in the skill, and rightly so, as the time spent was only a day or so, and the Crystal Coins used were very few. The change isn’t significant, which is normal. From the effects, there’s no difference from before, and at level 31, there are no effects; I have to wait till level 32."
Du You shook his head since the enhancements of the previous skills were so high, the new skill didn’t meet his expectations. But there was nothing else, and among tier-four skills, this was definitely a powerful one.
