Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 94
094. Craving (4)
「The skill ‘Blood Seeker (B)’ is created.」
The grade of the skill completed through the failed work was considerably higher than expected.
‘The seeker of blood…’
Right away, I opened the status window and checked the skill description.
『Skill – Seeker of Fresh Blood (B)』
『Proficiency level – 0%』
『Basic Effect – Vitality, stamina and magic can be extracted from the blood of a creature, and powerful blood dominating ability blooms.』 『
Detailed Effect – Flows from the user’s body . All the blood that comes out and is consumed is automatically restored little by little at regular intervals.”
“….”
As before, in the explanation text, the restriction that you can only extract life force, physical strength, and mana has disappeared.
Even…
the ability to dominate blood?
As if they were vampires, they added a mysterious ability, so there was no reason not to expect it.
And that’s not all.
The ability to restore blood, which was added as a detailed effect, went well with items that consume blood to create a shield, such as the old tailcoat of the Vampire Count.
Of course, in reality, how useful the restoration ability is can only be judged after directly experiencing the restoration efficiency.
‘Well, that’s not bad.’
Should I say that there is at least something worth spending a huge amount of points on?
Immediately after deactivating the recovery effect in the waiting room, I immediately cut a long cut on my left arm with the Blood Demon Sword.
「The skill ‘Ashen Blood’ is activated.
」
At the same time, blood flows from his left arm, and the wound is then healed by gray blood.
Seeing the blood flowing down my left arm, I narrowed my eyes and concentrated.
‘Move, move, move…’
That was the moment.
“oh.”
Squeak.
In an instant, the blood that flowed down his left arm began to rise upward as if against gravity.
It didn’t even stop at that level, and the blood soon flowed down his left arm and then floated into the air.
“…”
In that state, I tried to manipulate the flowing blood more and got a feel for this ability.
As soon as the sharp blade was formed with blood, he was convinced with a laugh.
“This is a real scam.”
What if this ability could affect not only the blood that flowed out of my body, but also the blood of other living beings?
As I pondered that question, a pleasant chill ran down my spine.
It is the ability to extract life force, physical strength, and mana from the blood of a creature, and to manipulate the blood without killing it.
‘Of course, there must be restrictions, but there is no other ability as good as this.’
The Grand War, which was originally good thanks to necromancy, will become stronger as a seeker of fresh blood.
The process of fighting one-on-one, which can be called a weakness, will be supplemented with this ability.
After checking the blood restoration ability, I realized that it is quite useful when going to a long-term battle.
“It’s simple, but it sure makes it easier to handle.”
Now, since the seeker of fresh blood seemed to know the composition in his own way, he turned his attention to other skills.
『Skill – Overgrowth (C-)』
『Proficiency – None』 『Effect –
Increases all HP recovery abilities and basic HP by 70% in proportion to the level of physical strength』
It is a skill that can
‘It’s worthwhile to increase the ability to restore physical strength and the basic physical strength.’
It was even more so because the effects were applied in proportion to physical strength.
Of course, overgrowth also fails to synthesize like Seeker of Blood, and when synthesized, it may be possible to turn it into a fairly good ability.
‘I don’t have the energy to spend more points like that right now.’
No matter how much I saved up enough points to use, it was no longer enough.
Of course, if there is a skill to synthesize separately, I will be in trouble if I randomly mix non-perfect skills.
It was all the more so because there was a history of mixing skills once before and acquiring a skill that existed like a gyereuk.
That was the moment.
‘…Come to think of it, it’s not like I don’t have any skills to synthesize.’
Suddenly, I remembered the skill ‘Strong Eyes (E-)’ that I neglected after synthesizing in the past.
The skill rank was low and the effect was mediocre, so it was an ability that I didn’t care about as it was.
However, since then, the ability to try synthesis, such as ‘truth eyes’ or ‘mind’s eye’, has been gathered in my hand.
“Hmm….”
However, the Eye of Mind or the Eye of Truth were worth a lot to blindly synthesize skills.
The mind’s eye now allows you to perceive everything around you, and the truth’s eye allows you to see through lies and see information.
‘It’s a gamble.’
Know.
That this is actually a gamble among gambles that you really shouldn’t do.
But at the same time, I was well aware of the value of successful synthesis.
“…”
As I continued to think about it, I instantly came up with a good idea.
“shop.”
Immediately after opening the shop window, I entered the skill shop and started looking at the skills that were being sold.
and-.
「Skill: Mind’s Eye (F-)」
「Price: 10000 points」
「Explanation: You may feel the invisible.」
“This is real.”
Soon I was able to find out that Shim’an was for sale.
‘Of course, the rating is lower than expected, but…’
In the battle against Namgung-hyeok, he frantically raised his mind’s eye proficiency and figured out how to use it.
Even if it was an F-class skill, I was confident that I could instantly grow it into a higher-grade skill.
「Inherent Authority ‘Skill Synthesis’ is activated.」
Right away, I selected and synthesized the Inner Eye and the Strong Eye.
Of course, since Eye of Mind has a higher skill level, Strong Eye was pushed out of the center of skill synthesis.
As it is, the synthesis proceeded with the mind’s eye as the center of the skill synthesis.
「Skill synthesis has been completed.」
「Skill ‘Evil Eye (A-)’ is created.」
The strong eye and mind’s eye disappeared, and magic was newly imbued in the eye.
‘I can understand what kind of ability it is without reading the skill description.’
Basically, it can be used like the mind’s eye, but the ability to detect magical power has dramatically improved.
How many steps higher than the magic detection that relies on the magic circuit?
Even if it is used as it is, it is an ability that is close to the higher compatibility of the mind eye skill, but it is one step short.
Instinct whispered to me like a demon.
Only when the Eye of Truth is synthesized will a proper skill be born.
It’s also a very good skill that I won’t disappoint.
「The skill ‘sixth sense’ is greatly activated.」
As if to support that idea, I even came up with the phrase that even the sixth sense was greatly activated.
After that, I activated skill synthesis, and the skills were synthesized within no time.
“Skill synthesis has been completed.”
And—.
“A new skill will be created.”
As if that intuition was not wrong, the resulting skill was a result beyond imagination.
***
Soon I opened my eyes wide as I saw the system message floating in front of me.
「The skill ‘Fire Dragon’s Eye (A+)’ is created.]
Fire Dragon’s Eye.
Aside from the grandiose name, the rating was quite high.
Among the skills I currently have, it is a level that can enter the top ranks.
‘I never thought it would work out so lucky.’
I was able to reach this point thanks to the skill synthesis never failing.
『Skill – Fire Dragon’s Eye (A+)』
『Proficiency – 0%』
『Basic Effect – The power of the Fire Dragon dwells in your eyes, allowing you to see invisible things.
』 You can see the information of the opponent, and it becomes possible to determine the lie of the other person.”
The contents of the skill were also in the form of no disadvantages, only the advantages were kept intact.
The only thing that has changed is that the power of the Fire Dragon dwells in its eyes.
‘It’s the power of the Fire Dragon.’
It was strange in many ways, but it was difficult to find out what had changed only with the changed phrase.
‘Still, there will be differences and improvements.’
The rating has risen this far, so it must be.
Whatever it was, it would have an advantage, so I activated the Fire Dragon’s Eye right away.
「The skill ‘Hwaryong’s Eye (A+)’ is activated.]
It was nothing else but to confirm the inherited ability from the eyes of truth to grasp the information of objects.
Just in case, there might be something special about this ability, so I wanted to check it carefully.
and-.
“What is this again…?”
Soon I could understand the true meaning of Hwaryongan’s phrase, ‘You can see the invisible.’ An item that was stolen from Kim Seung-jun before
「Blood Demon Sword」
and has now become my favorite sword.
“…When a user who has reached the state of sword flame activates the exclusive effect Blood Energy to the maximum, the true ability is revealed.” A phrase that had not been seen before was revealed
.
“….”
It was a useless ability compared to checking the item directly….
Now, not only can you completely check the item performance, but you can also check the new phrase.
‘What is this…’
was absurd.
I just thought it would have been slightly strengthened by combining the Eye of Mind and the Eye of Truth.
It’s because I didn’t expect it to evolve into such a useful skill.
Then, when I opened the item description window instead of the skill, it became clearer.
‘In the item description window, the phrase that can be seen as a dragon’s eye does not come to mind.’
Realizing that fact, I then checked all the other items. Hidden phrases
such as “The Vampire Count’s Old Tailcoat”
existed here and there.
“…when blood is consumed to form a protective film, an additional correction is added to the hardness of the protective film.
”
A new phrase was found even on an item I didn’t pay much attention to,
“boots of swiftness.”
“…When magical power is applied to the shoes, the duration of the instant speed increase is slightly increased.”
That, too, was a bit helpful when used in battle.
Of course, other items didn’t come out with special phrases, and it wasn’t that they were very helpful in battle.
Even so, it was not at a level that could be ignored.
“….”
While looking at this and that through Hwaryong’s eyes, I realized one fact.
This dragon’s eye is much better than I thought, and its true value has not yet been fully revealed.
The Eye of Truth skill, which was not properly used, was inherited and strengthened to this extent.
If you check the succession of the Mind’s Eye in direct combat, how strong the effect will be.
With my thoughts reaching that far, I couldn’t do that even if I tried not to raise the corners of my mouth.
Eventually, instead of thinking about it, I immediately issued the command.
“Are you willing to accept the 11th floor trial?”
I pressed accept at that question without considering any other options.
Soon, without hesitation, I entered the portal that appeared in the center of the waiting room.
「Entering the 11th floor of the Tower of Trials.」
「Difficulty – Hard」
「The subject of the ordeal is ‘Spirit Proof’.」 「I hope that the
challenger will have a satisfactory result at the end of the penance he/she chooses.」
The two newly appeared skills are.
Even if you don’t want to know soon, you will be able to properly check its true value.
