Chapter 381: Chapter 381

But meditating to level 5 from level 4 is indeed quite difficult.

Lin Rui still has 30,000 universal experience points, but he’s always been reluctant to use them easily. Relying on daily meditation to further raise skill levels would consume a very long time.

However, having this trait changes everything.

As long as you meditate, there’s a 0.1% probability that Will+1.

Things involving probability mechanics in the Golden Pansy Domain will always be rewritten.

Under the effect of the Saint Hall of the Goddess of Fortune, Lin Rui has at least a 10.1% minimum probability to increase one point of will.

If you also count Lin Rui’s +6 Luck Level, this probability could be substantially increased.

This basically means Lin Rui doesn’t need to worry about raising his Willpower until he reaches Tier Six.

The later in the game, the stronger this effect becomes.

A total of 35 levels in Tier Six, even if breaking through ahead of time, it can only give 140 attribute points.

As a hero, once full Command Value is added, there’s hardly any Commander Value left to enhance other attributes.

Now the Willpower is guaranteed, which means Lin Rui is spared a major hassle.

So although the other two traits are very powerful, Lin Rui can only painfully forfeit them.

Lin Rui is in desperate need of Will attribute, with 100 Will Attribute Points required for "Faith Intervention" to transform all damage into True Damage, which will be his winning trump card.

This means that after burning 100 Will Points, for a brief time, Lin Rui will possess half, or even two-thirds of Wutong’s output capability. Moreover, this is a controllable power boost, it doesn’t require reduced Life Value, as long as there’s assurance to dodge enemy attacks and control, there’s little risk.

Having selected the trait, Lin Rui turned his attention to the soldiers.

Under Falken’s guidance, the soldiers rapidly besieged various High-Tier Demons in the cage. Inside the Earth Cavern Cage was full of the roar of monsters and the terrifying sounds of swords cutting into flesh.

It must be said, Super-Tier Demons are indeed formidable. Their True Damage is especially ferocious.

A swipe with the scythe, and it’s over a thousand points of True Damage, completely ignoring the soldiers’ high-level Damage Reduction and Physical Defense.

However, Falken is a Holy Hall Knight, who not only has self-healing traits but also possesses several healing skills.

Despite the fierce battle, the danger was mostly avoided.

Lin Rui didn’t need to take action; various system notifications echoed continuously.

[Ding, Your subordinate Heroic Spirit Knight Lundestadte killed a Heroic Spirit Level Six Demon. You, as Lord, receive 10% of the experience. Experience +641000.]

[Ding, acquired Strategic Treasure: Judgment Counterattack]

Strategic treasure appeared unexpectedly!

Lin Rui’s eyes shined; this is not easy to come by.

In the past, when massacring prisoners of war, the gods were very stingy with rewards.

And now, in the demon slaughter, not only were the gods not stingy with rewards, but they also exploded an extremely rare strategic treasure!

Lin Rui immediately equipped the new strategic treasure.

[Strategic Treasure: Judgment Counterattack: Judgment Blade doesn’t fear any human or demon; they can always manage to initiate an offensive and find the enemy’s defensive openings, thereby leading other troops to push forward. Soldiers kill enemies on the battlefield, supporting nearby allies to counterattack opponents, injecting powerful attack power into their defense lineup, ultimately forming a perfect army well-negotiating between offense and defense.]

[Each soldier killing opponents allows nearby three soldiers to gain one layer of [High Morale] status, Physical Attack +10%, Physical Defense+10%, lasts for 3 seconds; stacking 3 layers of [High Morale] status immediately initiate a [Judgment Counterattack], completely counteracting opponent attack moves, and attach one Physical Attack.]

This strategic treasure is practically a divine artifact for large-scale warfare; the sharper the soldiers’ attacks, the more perfect the state.

Lin Rui is very generous to the soldiers, directly distributing the Super-Tier Demons’ dropped [Demon Origin] to them.

The lower the tier that uses this, the stronger the result, with 10 extra main attributes for every tier difference.

The Tier Four Heroic Spirit Knights after using Demon Origin, all received effects of [Physique+20], [Spiritual Energy Value+5000], [all attacks add 100 points of True Damage].

Within the entire Demon Cage, against 115 Super-Tier Demons attacked, Lin Rui’s subordinate soldiers battled nearly two hours to kill all the demons.

Lin Rui’s fortune erupted, acquiring as many as 3 gilded treasure chests, 16 golden treasure chests, and even enormously surprisingly dropped two Epic-level weapons, one was a long scythe, the other was a short sword.

But these two weapons aren’t very suitable for the Golden Pansy Domain; Lin Rui plans to hand them to the Master of Armaments Burton for modification.

If the modification succeeds, two standard Epic-level equipment will emerge.

Even if the modification does not go smoothly and attributes slightly decline, it doesn’t matter.

Lin Rui can sell them at the Divine Throne Banquet, even a piece of slightly weaker Epic-level equipment is still Epic-level, always valuable yet unavailable.

As long as Lin Rui is willing to auction, there’ll sure be bidders competing to purchase.

All 115 Super-Tier Demons were cleared out, the soldiers finally released heavy breaths.

Lusen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead: "Heavens, it’s over at last. These two hours felt like the most torturous two hours ever. Every time switching cages, it felt like dancing on knife’s edge."

Sterling sat down beside the broken cage wall, dazed and said: "I feel like never have I ever had dreams with so many monsters. Every time we open a cage, a kind of evil terrifying monster appears, pressing my heart with throbbing pain."

Falken heavily nodded in wholehearted agreement: "I can even understand why this Demon Warden would be corrupted. Facing these terrifying monsters daily, how could one’s mind not be twisted?"

Lin Rui also felt somewhat uneasy; this was only a hundred demons yet already so arduous.

If a large-scale demon invasion occurs, with Super-Tier Demons number in the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

How could the Golden Pansy Domain survive in this horrifying tide?

As Lord, he feels more pressure than anyone.

But pressure is also the strongest motivation, Lin Rui immediately commanded with a wave: "Time waits for no one, have a brief rest, then we go to Black Domain Castle to meet Hanna. Before we leave, destroy this Divine Hall completely. I want to see if the God of Light dares to directly confront me."

Hundreds of Extraordinary Knights went all out, within just ten minutes a magnificent Divine Hall was utterly demolished, even the statue of the God of Light was smashed, its head crushed under the soldiers’ feet.

[Ding, Explorer demolished a major Divine Hall of an opposing force, Reputation+1000, Territory Reputation+1000]

[Ding, Your actions are appreciated by the territory’s Goddess of Faith, Luck Value+1]

[Ding, You successfully stoked a faith conflict, current conflict tension 1%. (Note: If tension surpasses 30%, both party’s Divine Champions and God-selected Priests can initiate faith expeditions. If tension surpasses 50%, both party’s Divine Spirits can ignore detachment and project intervention. If tension surpasses 80%, Divine Spirits can choose to descend to participate in the battle. If tension surpasses 100%, comprehensive war inevitably erupts, from Divine Spirits to serfs within the faith forces, no one can circumvent involvement, forced into battle, unending until death)]

After reading the notifications, Lin Rui immediately firmed his resolve, to never let others rush into the territory and smash his wife’s Goddess of Fortune Saint Hall.
