YM778.TV Chapter 151: Powers and Options
This scene captured the essence of the saying "the bigger they are, the harder they fall."
And the one responsible for this feat was currently grinning from ear to ear, imagining the haul he\'d get from this.
Reign was so deep into grind mode that he didn\'t even consider for a second that this giant thing could reverse the situation.
He felt like an MMORPG player who had found a dungeon, realizing he could farm levels and gold by staying in one place and spamming skills.
It was the gaming equivalent of hitting the jackpot, and Reign was ripping the benefits in it without a second thought.
SLASH!
He alternated between slashing and breathing fire until finally, the entire entity collapsed into the ground.
Arc quickly exterminated all the remaining corrupted while Reign stood atop the pile of corpses, his body covered with the black substance, a visual proof to the carnage he had just unleashed.
He didn\'t linger on the victory.
Instead, he began devouring everything beneath him, using his usual tactic of summoning dozens of thin limbs to penetrate the corpses and absorb them rapidly.
And because he was on top a pile of corpses, all he had to do was dig deep enough to skewer dozens of Corrupteds in one fell swoop.
\'This will take some time,\' Reign chuckled, surveying the area now littered with corpses.
Halfway through the absorption process, he finally gained three levels, reaching the awaited Level 30.
[System: Evolution Option Available ]
Lightning Skull Monarchs: mutated form of Skull Monarchs, retaining the same shape but distinguished by its jet-black bones marked with intricate red lightning-like patterns. It\'s eyes emit a vivid red glow, and it bear a crown-like crest atop its heads, signifying its royal lineage.
>Advance Bone Summoning :Skull Monarchs had ascend to higher echelons of power, so its proficiency in bone summoning reaches another level. It can summon more bone puppets, each infused with the lightning attribute, +20 % damage resistance to normal elemental attacks. ( +50 Slots )
>Evil Warcry: Skull Monarchs, born to lead an army of undead, possess the ability to temporarily boost the skills of their troops, adding buffs such as [Enhanced Damage], [Enhanced HP], [Enhanced Armor], and [Bravery].
>Blessed by Storm: Forming a symbiotic bond with storms, Lightning Skull Monarchs possess heightened sensitivity to atmospheric changes. It can sense approaching storms and harness its power to augment its own abilities, gaining boost in overall firepower during thunderous weather .
[System: Would you like to evolved to Skull Monarch ?]
"Yes !, " Reign quickly replied.
There was no need to even ask such a question.
After consenting, the evolution commenced, and Reign could feel a change emanating from his two energy cores.
It wasn\'t something that expand the core capacity in terms of quantity rather, the cores themselves were undergoing a transformation.
They seemed to be transitioning from fragile glass to something sturdier, as if being forged anew by the process.
Right now, he did feel some pain, but it was not as excruciating as before.
Alongside the discomfort, there was also a warm sensation coursing through his body, which made the whole process more comfortable.
Over time, he discovered some improvement in his new cores.
Not just internally, but also how it operates.
Previously, his core resembled a water drum, where he needed to manually scoop energy when he needed it.
Now, it felt as though a streamlined pipe had been established, facilitating a more efficient and seamless transfer of power.
This, in turn, made him even more efficient in using his energy.
Not that he wasn\'t efficient already, considering he possessed the complete Trinity - Legendary Race, Legendary Core, and Legendary Domain.
Regardless, this upgrade was a welcome benefit that would become more apparent in the future, especially considering that the stronger he grew, the more energy his skills consumed.
Just his Bone Summoning alone would consume a huge portion of his reserves if he had more than five puppets at the same level as Arc.
In terms of appearance, not much changed except for the bone crown on his head. It didn\'t replace his hair; it just sat there like he was wearing a headband.
The good thing was, the crown was retractable. He didn\'t particularly like it because it was too flashy.
He felt satisfied with his growth, but his happiness was far from over.
Today felt like his birthday with the abundance of gifts he would receive.
[System: Congratulations, Host, for Reaching Level 30.
[System\'s Store is now available ]
"Sweet," Reign chuckled, opening up the new window, curious about what the Store could provide him.
A new window opened up, showing a number of items for sale that could be bought using Dark Dust.
There was even a slider with pictures that he could expand to see more details.
It felt like he was browsing an online shop, with all the descriptions of the items neatly laid out before him.
However, only a few items caught his attention because most of them were not useful for him considering his current strength.

======
(The store would be updated as the Host leveled up further. )
======
\'All of them are too expensive,\' Reign sighed.
They were useful, but in the end, they cost a lot of Dark Points to buy, so he had to be wise with his purchase.
First, the mutant serum wasn\'t something he needed immediately.
So, he was left with four options: the Bone Puppet Slot, Attribute Plus, Skill Plus, and Seed Cloner.
The benefits of the Bone Puppet slot were straightforward. With more slots available, he would be able to obtain more powerful puppets in the future, like Arc.
Arc had proven itself to be very useful to him thus far, making his life much easier by handling tasks that would otherwise be mundane.
Even now, instead of engaging in battles with corrupted beings himself, he could simply relax and check his status while Arc continued to slash and kill everything on sight.
If he had two or even four powerful puppets, his life would a breeze, and farming would be a cinch.
The next options were the Attribute Plus and the Skill Plus, which would allow him to break through the A+ cap for attributes and the level 20 cap in skill points.
Even after Evolving, his stats did not change at all, except for just having more Bloodline skills and his core undergoing major tempering ,.
This just showed that evolving alone was not enough to break through the limit.
However, after some thought, he felt that he didn\'t need to focus on his stats for now. He was already plenty powerful enough.
\'Seed Cloner ?\' He mused inwardly. MVLeMpYr-com-story
