Chapter 973: Chapter 973
"This time the haul is the biggest yet, a total of fifteen advancement materials," said Du You, who hadn’t kept track before. This time, counting them carefully, the number was truly not small. So, he began.
It was the same as before, starting with the first material, going in order, with no need to worry about who goes first. After living together for so long, the three of them wouldn’t squabble over such a trivial matter.
First was the Heavenly Disaster Core of the Earthquake Disaster Giant Beast, placed in the Skill Hall, corresponding to his own Death Gorilla. The compatibility between the two was still quite high, needing only three days to take shape.
Although the Giant world was a fifth-tier territory, where skill extrapolation would be faster, the number of fourth-tier Professionals who had recently joined the territory had increased. Going over there and crowding with everyone wouldn’t be better than using the Skill Hall of a fourth-tier territory to extrapolate at full speed, which was why Du You had chosen this place. As for the other territory, he let the people of the territory and the academy use it.
Afterward, everyone settled back into the life of waiting for advancement and studying the Death Divine Manual.
Three days later, the Death Gorilla was successfully advanced.
Death Gorilla: A mutation of the Heavy Rock Gorilla mixed with Divinity Toxins, it can be summoned again 24 hours after death. (Level 33, 10 stars)
Skills: Divinity Toxins, Super Resistance, Super Defense, Land Transfer, Unloading Force, Slowness, Shockwave, Vibration Layers
Divinity Toxins: Attack or being attacked will cause toxin damage, ignoring 80% Poison Resistance.
Super Resistance: Own resistance level increased by level+level+level.
Super Defense: Own defense level increased by level+level+level.
Land Transfer: Utilize the power of the earth to perform instantaneous movement, range (level*10) meters, with a 5-second interval.
Unloading Force: Reduce damage received from attacks by 30%.
Slowness: Movement is slower by 50%, strength increased by 50%, vitality increased by 100%, vitality recovery increased by 200%.
Shockwave: Attacks carry the force of shockwaves, strengthening own attack, causing tremors inside the opponent. Significant destruction to buildings.
Vibration Layers: Form layers of vibrations from the epidermis to the inside, dissipating the enemy’s attack power with each layer, enhancing defense.
"The name is still the same; no changes there. Advancement added two new skills, no other major changes," Du You carefully compared it with before and reached this conclusion.
"However, with the Vibration Layers, the Death Gorilla’s defense is higher now; it’s a qualified damage sponge," he assessed.
Lin Yucha also spoke up, "It’s not only the defense that’s enhanced, but the key point is that the attack, which it wasn’t good at before, has now been boosted. With the Shockwave skill, at least for general combat situations, this attack power is sufficient."
As the level increases, even the most peculiar Summoned Beasts will gradually improve, compensating for their own weaknesses and enhancing their strengths. This is a normal progression and change that comes with the continuous elevation of a creature’s level.
Regardless, now he had a qualified damage sponge to use again. The Death Gorilla’s size hadn’t changed much, still around three meters, but its resilience was much stronger than those fifteen-meter-tall Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs.
As he conducted the tests, Du You began to incorporate the second advanced skill into the Skill Hall. The eyeball of the giant bird corresponded to another of his summoned beasts, the Ghost Pattern Crow.
The Ghost Pattern Crow had a higher compatibility with the eyeball, and given that the Ghost Pattern Crow wasn’t primarily combat-focused, its evolution proceeded even more rapidly. It took less than three days for the evolution to complete. Of course, it might also be due to the increase in territory experience, which could be invisibly speeding up the evolution process in the Skill Hall.
Ghost Pattern Crow: A fusion of the Cursed Crow King and Ghost Stripe Butterfly, mysterious and bizarre, it naturally carries deadly curses. Shaped by the dark element, an Element Creature. After death, it requires 24 hours to be summoned again. (Level 33, 10 stars)
Skills: Weakening Aura, Song of Misfortune, Bloodthirsty Feather Arrow, Evil Protection, Soul Snatching Eyes, Rotten Curse, Plague, Ghost Shadow
Weakening Aura: Weakens all enemies within the curse range, reducing various attributes. Range 100 + (level*10) meters.
Song of Misfortune: When the Ghost Pattern Crow sings the cursed song, enemies who hear it will be afflicted with misfortune.
Bloodthirsty Feather Arrow: Condenses dark energy into feather-like arrows, inflicting the Bleeding Curse on those who are attacked.
Evil Protection: Evil forces envelop the Cursed Crow, greatly enhancing its resistance to magic attacks.
Soul Snatching Eyes: A death magic spell, there’s a chance of causing instant death by stripping the soul with the gaze of Soul Snatching Eyes. Should it fail, there’s a chance the caster dies from backlash, with a cooldown time of 5 hours.
Rotten Curse: Releases a rotten curse on the zone, causing flesh and blood of creatures within the area to gradually rot.
Plague: Creatures approaching the Ghost Pattern Crow may contract a plague, which significantly weakens the basic attributes of the creature’s body.
Ghost Shadow: The actual body of the Ghost Pattern Crow is hidden within layers of ghost shadows, making it extremely difficult to hit with physical attacks, and is most effective against them.
"Like the Death Gorilla, there hasn’t been much change in the previous skills. Aside from the fact that pet equipment can no longer be used, three new skills have been added. Let’s see, the Rotten Curse, that must be related to that Rotting Giant Bird and is a very dangerous sustained damage skill. Unfortunately, the damage is still quite slow and isn’t much effective against powerful creatures." For more chapters visıt 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
"I’ll test out this Plague skill, according to its effects, it’s the same; it’s slightly less effective against creatures of the same level. But, if it can affect for an extended period of time, perhaps the results will be very noticeable."
After the experiments, Du You was somewhat dissatisfied with the growth of the Ghost Pattern Crow in terms of its curse abilities.
"It’s already quite good, the comprehensive abilities of the Ghost Pattern Crow can have a strong impact on creatures of the same level. With a whole bunch of curses applied, our battles will be much easier," someone said.
Du You spread his hands, "But the problem is that our enemies are ultimately not ordinary tier fours, and might even be tier fives." Du You had high aspirations and was not satisfied with battling against creatures of the same tier.
"This last skill, Ghost Shadow, must be the evolution of the Ghost Pattern Crow’s innate abilities."
Originally, the Ghost Pattern Crow’s flight was full of illusory shadows which wasn’t an ability that could affect hit rates. Now that it has morphed into the Ghost Shadow skill, its survival ability has greatly increased. After Du You’s tests, regular physical attacks could hardly harm the Ghost Pattern Crow.
Even against magic attacks, the Ghost Pattern Crow’s evasive abilities were very strong. Unless it’s an area-covering strike or attack with special targeting abilities, it was practically impossible to hit the Ghost Pattern Crow.
The once fragile Ghost Pattern Crow, now, as long as it doesn’t seek death, has a survival ability that is quite high even among his summoned beasts. There’s no need to go out of our way to protect this assistant anymore.
