Chapter 214: 194: Master the Minor Forbidden Spell—“Venom Storm,” and the Exquisite Skill—“Elemental Arrow”!_2
The top combatants, Lao Tie, Lao Gui, Demon Spider with a Human Face, and Spider Queen, among them Lao Tie had the highest combat strength.
High-end combatants, the Dread Knight King, and the Wraith Mage King, two of them could command a squadron of Dark Knights and Corpse Witch teams, their combat strength was also formidable.
Mid-tier combatants, the Ghost King of the Blood Race and the Phantom King; each could lead a small team, acting as scouts or covert intelligence collectors, both were very capable.
Low-end combatants; the Zombie King and a rare zombie BOSS team, and the skeleton army led by the Skeleton King, ensured a one-man army.
It could be said that Zi Liyuan had become a power to be reckoned with within the undead summoning sect, mainly due to the top combatants raising the overall assessment.
He took out various materials used to evolve creatures into BOSSes from his Spatial Backpack and used them on each of the summoned monsters.
First, he created ten rare-level Skeleton King BOSSes. Having these ten Skeleton Kings was equivalent to controlling an army of a hundred thousand Skeleton Warriors.
With the zombie legions also amassing in great numbers, it could be said that the Undead Sea had basically taken shape.
Afterward, he took out nine Hearts of Dread, summoned nine Dark Knights, used them on each one, and once again created nine hero-level BOSSes, the Dread Knight Kings.
After a series of operations, all the purchased evolution materials were used up, and the number of BOSS-class summons had significantly increased.
“Ten Dread Knight Kings leading the charge, a group of Dark Knights following, it’s definitely a sharp knife that could pierce directly into the enemy’s heart.”
Aside from the inability to fly, the combat strength of the Dread Knight Kings was comparable to the output ability of a Bone Dragon.
Next, he started learning the Skill Books he had bought.
These Skill Books were not part of the set provided by the Dragon Academy that could be used repeatedly; rather, they were disposable one-time use.
After learning each skill, he took out five scrolls.
One was a reward for his third job advancement, “Dead Spirit Profession Skill Fusion Scroll,” while the other four were rewards from the Fan Family sisters’ third job advancement—unrestricted “Fusion Mutation Scrolls.”
For the exclusive Dead Spirit one, he had long planned how to use it.
Nether Crystal Core couldn’t mutate and strengthen poison series skills, so he intended to fuse his least used poison series skills into a powerful mutant fusion skill.
He opened the “Dead Spirit Profession Skill Fusion Scroll,” then selected poison series skills from his skill bar but excluded “Poison Spear” and “Poison Enchantment” from this list.
These two skills, the former could be integrated into his usual spell rotation to increase his output, while the latter could enchant many summoned creatures, enhancing their damage.
Moreover, poisoning – this type of continuous erosion debuff – was able to stifle the monsters’ recovery abilities, thereby simplifying the strategy for boss battles.
Over thirty poison-related skills were all dragged into the fusion mutation panel.
Seeing the success rate drop to only 0.1%, Zi Liyuan did not hesitate to activate the fusion mutation interface.
A greyish haze of light instantly enveloped the interface as the thirty-plus skills turned into clusters of emerald glow, starting to interweave and fuse with one another.
In less than a minute, as the interface engulfed by the greyish haze suddenly burst forth with a jade radiance and the next moment, it shot into Zi Liyuan’s brow and disappeared in an instant.
[Congratulations to the professional for successfully fusing and mutating the skill—Toxic Storm (Gold)]
Toxic Storm (Gold, LV1, 0/1000W): Infused with a hint of the poison series’ rule power, using ten kinds of deadly poisons condensed into tornados to create a massive toxic storm that devastates the area covered by Spirit, causing 100W Magic Damage per second from poison, eroded by the violent toxin (sum of ten kinds of deadly poisons), casting time 30 minutes, consumes 30W Spiritual Energy, continuous guidance of the storm is required after the casting succeeds, consuming 1W Spiritual Energy per second during the guidance, skill cooldown time ten days. (Note: Ten kinds of deadly poisons to be provided by the user, skill usage requirements: Physique 1500 points, Spirit 3000 points, Spiritual Power 3000 points)
(⊙_⊙)???
“Did I just fuse a frickin’ Minor Forbidden Spell!?”
Terror, it could only be described as terror, the attribute of this skill.
A golden-quality skill, all categorized as Minor Forbidden Spells, this Toxic Storm deals a whopping 1 million poison damage per second, not to mention the deadly corrosive BUFF, its damage is off the charts.
But the requirements to use this skill are also extremely stringent; it’s not so easy to meet the three basic attributes.
At the very least, with Zi Liyuan’s current attributes, besides his physique, the other two don’t meet the mark, with his Spiritual Power nearly one-third short.
Moreover, with a casting time of 30 minutes, it’s absurdly long; if someone interrupts the casting, then the joke’s really on me.
The more powerful the skill, the greater the backlash if interrupted, and just thinking about the consequences of interrupting this Minor Forbidden Spell makes Zi Liyuan break out in a cold sweat.
With his current frail body, a spellcasting failure would only lead to death.
As for the skill’s requirement of 300,000 Spiritual Energy, that’s the easy part; after all, when using this Minor Forbidden Spell, his Spiritual Power must reach 3,000 points, which is completely sufficient for the casting’s energy consumption.
But the subsequent Spiritual Energy needed for guiding it is also significant, with a consumption of 10,000 per second, even constantly chugging potions, it wouldn’t be so easy to maintain.
As for the need for ten types of deadly poisons, that stuff is pretty easy to find; the Dragon Academy’s treasure hall has them for exchange, and it doesn’t require many Contribution Values.
“Damn it, this skill looks powerful but the conditions to use it are too harsh, it’s just for show; for now, it can only sit at the bottom of the chest and collect dust.”
Zi Liyuan’s mood could be described as fluctuating, as unpleasant as an EKG graph.
“Did I roll out this over-the-top skill because I fused too many at once?”
When I first created Lao Tie, I only fused nine skills, but this time it was a whopping thirty-something, resulting in this oddity, truly mixed feelings.
He shook his head and then looked at the several hundred profession-unrestricted general skills he’d learned earlier.
The “Fusion Mutation Scroll” has no profession restrictions, only limits on the types of fusion, such as attack spells being only able to fuse with other attack spells, without mixing in auxiliary or control spells.
He opened a “Fusion Mutation Scroll” and accessed the fusion interface, starting to drag and drop each general skill into it.
Frost Cone, Wind Blade, Thunder Strike, Golden Needle, Wooden Spear, Water Arrow, Flame Shot, Earth Spike… every attack spell was basic stuff, only a few had slightly more powerful attack spells.
This time, the skills dragged into the fusion interface were even more numerous, reaching into the hundreds.
Looking at the dense mass of skills and seeing the fusion success rate drop to a mere 0.01% on the interface, Zi Liyuan pursed his lips.
“Big lucky goddess wife, let me fuse a powerful and suitable skill!”
Lord Zi glanced at his own talent and decisively activated the fusion interface.
The greyish light reappeared, instantly enveloping the entire interface, turning hundreds of skills into a mishmash of red, green, blue, and gold lights, tangling and fusing with each other.
After another minute, the interface, previously shrouded in greyish light, suddenly burst into a colorful glare, and in the next moment, it shot into Zi Liyuan’s brow and disappeared in an instant.
[Congratulations to the profession user for successfully fusing and mutating the skill—Elemental Arrow (Silver)]
Elemental Arrow (Silver, LV1, 0/900,000): Formed by the fusion of nine different elemental skills into a single Elemental Arrow, dealing 900 mixed elemental damage + 900% Magic Damage enhancement to the enemy, casting time 15 seconds, consumes 10,000 Spiritual Energy, skill cooldown 60 seconds.
(Note: Each level increase adds 900 mixed elemental damage, Magic Damage enhancement +10%, Spiritual Energy consumption +1000, cooldown CD reduced by 1 second.)
“It’s always the lucky goddess wife’s long, black-stockinged legs that deliver, isn’t it? Just think of something and bam, it happens.”
