232. Sanctuary Quest
[A special item "Holy Demon Bone" has been detected, which can purify the ominous power in your body, do you want to use it?] 】
The cold, mechanical sound of the system, without the slightest emotion, echoed in Sean's mind.
Moreover, it is obvious that he still takes the trouble to repeat it over and over again, and it looks like Sean will not give up without giving an accurate answer.
It's just that Sean obviously didn't give any clear answer, and he was thinking about a question at this time.
The exorcist's manuscript clearly records the importance of the Holy Demon's bones, which is why Sean came to find it. According to what was said in that manuscript, Sean should be able to break through to the upper golden realm at the moment of obtaining the bones of the Holy Demon, but at this time, the sound in the system was just an ominous power to purify the body? So it's debatable what this ominous force refers to? Was it the dark power in his body, or was it something else he didn't know?
"What's wrong?" As if sensing Sean's hesitation, Cecilia asked softly, "Are you alright?" ”
"Oh? Oh! It's okay. Sean was stunned for a moment, then reacted, he chuckled and shook his head, and then turned his gaze to the piece of bone that he had already held in the palm of his hand.
The number jù that comes from the eyes of truth is also very different from what it used to be.
[Holy Demon Bone: Special Material (Unknown), Hardness???。 】
[Item Description: No one knows the origin and value of this thing, and it seems to have extremely subtle special powers on it.] But only those who resonate with this power will find it. To a normal person, this is a beautiful piece of bone, which may be used as some kind of decoration. 】
Under the watchful eye of the True Eye. It is impossible for all the qiē in this world to hide the number of the true eye. But now, this Holy Demon Skeleton shows that it is not even known for its specific material, and it does not explain the specific purpose of this thing. This means that although the name of this thing is called the Holy Demon Bone, it is clear that it is not bone material.
This really surprised Sean.
The annoying voice of the system continued to echo.
Sean hesitated for a moment, then finally chose to use it as if he had made some serious decision.
The next moment. Sean let out a scream.
Yes, real screams.
Because there was an extremely hot sensation in the palm of his right hand, as if it was about to completely melt his hand. This kind of intense pain was something Sean had never felt before. So he had to let out a scream like a scream to distract himself from the pain, but the severe pain caused by this holy demon bone was obviously a bit beyond the scope of normal people.
At least, now Sean knows why so many people can't bear the "impact" of the Holy Demon Skeleton. For the vast majority of people, I am afraid that they would rather be depraved or alienated. I wouldn't be willing to suffer like that.
But it's really scary. Apparently it doesn't stop there.
The small Saint Demon Skeleton soon burst apart, like the internal brittle cracks of burning black charcoal due to the high temperature.
Several cracks burst out on the Holy Demon Bone, followed by the complete shattering of the entire Holy Demon Bone, and then an extremely staggering amount of silver liquid gushed out from this Holy Demon Bone. The amount of these liquids is completely beyond the imagination of normal people, because logically speaking, such a piece of liquid that is only one finger long and two fingers wide is obviously impossible to have such a large amount of liquid, no matter how much it is condensed and compressed.
At this scale, it is at least equivalent to a cubic meter of capacity. Maybe even more.
A large amount of silver liquid erupted, and then turned into a silver wyvern in midair. It rushed through Sean's screaming mouth as if it were a spiritual thing. This extremely strange picture lasted for more than ten seconds, and Sean was obviously very uncomfortable in the process, because his eyes were wide and almost jumped out of his sockets, and his body was constantly shaking, looking like an electric shock.
When several people next to them saw Sean's situation, they immediately wanted to go up to stop or rescue, but an invisible force blocked them all from being three or four centimeters away from Sean. It's not far, but it makes people even more anxious and crazy, because they can only watch Sean continue to struggle, and endure pain that is obviously beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
When all the bones of the Holy Demon that had been transformed into liquid completely rushed into Sean's mouth, Sean's whole body fell to the ground as if he was paralyzed, and his whole face became extremely pale, as if he had just been fished out of the water. But at this time, everyone still couldn't get close to Sean's side, even the two Sanctuary powerhouses of Harding and Cecilia - or rather, the two of them had to be more sensitive to their surroundings and judgment, and their intuition told them that if they forcibly approached, they might cause a stronger backlash.
At this time, Sean felt like he was in a furnace.
He could feel the hot silver liquid in his body rampage—it was as if he had used the inside of his body as a battlefield, and in an almost overwhelming way, he was madly killing its enemy: the dark power in Sean's body. Under such a powerful attack of this silver liquid, if the dark power in Sean's body did not want to be destroyed, then naturally he also needed to fight back, so at this moment, all the dark power was violently gone.
But the more the darkness went on a rampage, the deeper and clearer Sean's pain became.
He could feel the boiling power of the darkness, and the power of this boiling and the boiling silver liquid was obviously not as simple as one plus one equaling two. At this moment, Sean even felt like he was about to melt, and the intense heat made him almost suffocate. It was as if the whole body would be completely ignited in the next moment. But every time Sean was about to faint, the liquid was slowed down at the right time, so that the crisis that would make Sean faint not arise - at least it gave Sean a chance to breathe.
But when Sean got enough respite. This liquid of silver will burst into a stronger "aggressiveness", stimulating the dark power to boil again.
It seems that this silver liquid has its own wisdom and will, and it is constantly testing Sean's final bottom line. This kind of situation where he wanted to faint to death but couldn't, and could only endure the pain constantly, made Sean feel extremely uncomfortable, and at this moment he even hated why his will was so high.
But this painful feeling was extremely long for Sean. But to outsiders, it seems to be very short-lived.
At least, not as long ago as Sean thought.
When Sean's face finally recovered, Cecilia rushed over as soon as possible. hugged Sean, who was almost collapsed, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Sean gasped, but his voice was extremely weak, "I just didn't expect it." The solution to this thing would be so simple and crude. But it turns out. It's really very effective, at least ...... I don't have to worry about turning into a demon or something. ”
Hearing Sean's words, Cecilia, who was already teary-eyed, immediately showed joy on her face: "Really? It's really great! …… It's a little painful, but at least it should be rewarding, isn't it? ”
"I think, yes." Sean nodded with a wry smile as he opened his personal attribute panel, "Don't worry about me. At least I'm fine now, just let me rest for a while. …… You guys. Let's see if there's anything worth taking here, and we'll get out of here as soon as I'm a little bit back, I don't want to bump into those guys from the Blackwater tribe. ”
"Based on my observations of you, I'm afraid it will take a long time for you to regain your mobility." Harding glanced at Sean before speaking, "I think we can wait a little longer here." It's best to wait until the Blackwater guys come back, and then we'll leave in the evening while it's dark, so ...... It's best to take a good rest now, like get some sleep or something. ”
In fact, what Harding said was very correct.
Because Sean saw that there was an extremely weak state on his personal panel, and that the state would last for a full twelve hours, all his mobility was reduced by 90% because of this state. This also means that before this state disappears, Sean will lose all his actions, including movement ability, combat ability, and other mobility abilities.
Therefore, for Harding's mention, Sean is naturally noncommittal.
And he really needed to check his personal state immediately, because this time the realm ascension was also very different from his previous situation.
When he felt the heat boiling in his body finally stop at all, two new system prompts rang in Sean's head.
The first system chime is the same as the usual rank promotion, indicating that he has been promoted to the eighth rank.
[Demon Seal Master (8th Order Profession): The ominous power in your body has finally been completely purified, and the problem that has plagued you for a long time has finally been solved. After losing the haunting of ominous powers, you find that your sense of magic from the outside world begins to sharpen. You'll begin to realize that combat is no longer just about wielding weapons. 】
【Inaugural Rewards-
Multiple Seals: Your willpower has been greatly boosted by the purification of the Holy Demon's bones, and you find that you seem to be able to seal more dark creatures and use them. And you are no longer bound by the constraints of the seals you used to have, and you can not only replace the Seal effect, but you can even activate several Seal effects at the same time (now you can replace the Seal effect you don't like without any negative effects; You can seal more dark creatures to make sigils, and you can activate those sigil effects at the same time. );
Painful Will: You have withstood the test of purification of the bones of the Holy Demon, and you have not given up or become alienated because of this, and you have proved to the world that your strength can stand the test. (Strength +10, Strength Limit +14, Stamina +7, Stamina Limit +14, Agility +10, Agility Limit +15, Intelligence +7.) Wisdom Limit +12, Will +16, Will Limit +25);
Blessing of Holy Water: You can take the Pilgrim's Holy Water through guò to gain a temporary strength boost. (Taking a Pilgrim's Elixir will give you a special bonus of doubling your combat power for the next thirty minutes.) It can only be taken once every 24 hours. )】
[Inauguration Punishment-
Magic Mark Limit: When you activate the third Magic Seal, the Will attribute will permanently drop by 10 points, and each additional Magic Seal activated, the will attribute reduction penalty will be doubled; When you save two magic seal effects at the same time, each time you save one more zài, your will attribute will be temporarily reduced by 5 points, and then activate each additional magic seal effect. Will's decreasing penalty will be doubled.
After Sean opened his personal panel, he quickly saw these introductions and instructions.
On the surface, this realm ascension didn't change Sean's strength, stamina, agility, and intelligence much. Basically, it can be said that it is no different from the previous seventh-order time. However, only the will attribute has undergone earth-shaking changes, because the increase in this ability is the largest, and the limit range has been increased by a full twenty-five points, which is almost comparable to the promotion of a ninth-order magician.
Any Marvel player knows this well. All of the classes in the game may not have a special attribute bias in the early stages. However, with the promotion of the rank and the determination of the direction of specialization, the bias of attribute increase will only become more and more obvious. Therefore, in the middle and late stages of the game, every time the player's rank is raised, the increase in his attributes can be a good indication of the next development direction of this profession.
Of course, most of the time, players will judge based on this, also because the introduction of these classes is somewhat vague, and the inauguration rewards and inauguration penalties are always confusing to many people.
It's obvious, though. Sean's advancement this time did not have such a problem.
Even if the increase in his personal attributes is not so obvious, Sean also knows that the direction of his career cultivation in the next step must be related to the will attribute. After all, the inaugural reward and the inaugural punishment have been made abundantly clear. As long as he has enough will attributes, his [Demon Seal] profession can exert an extremely anti-heaven effect, but if he lacks enough will attributes, then his strength growth will not be greatly improved.
Sean's gaze quickly turned to the personal attribute column.
Now, in Sean's naked nature is-
Strength: 62 (86); Dexterity: 63 (88); Stamina: 56 (86); Wisdom: 53(78); Will: 64 (97).
In other words, if Sean is willing to invest a lot of proficiency points in the will attribute, then he can increase the will attribute by up to thirty-three points. However, this is also the growth limit, if he still wants to continue to improve the will attribute, then he must find a way to increase the maximum growth amount of the will attribute, otherwise his will attribute will stop at ninety-seven points until his next rank promotion.
And if you count the increase of various equipment, etc., the personal attribute is-
Strength: 62 + 51 + 21 (86); Dexterity: 63+55+21(88); Stamina: 56+30 (86); Wisdom: 53+23 (78); Will: 64 + 25 + 5 (97).
Among them, the additional blackjack attributes of strength and agility are derived from the [Arcane Swordsmanship. The additional 5-point increase in the Will attribute was obtained when he first entered the Savage Lands and was injured by the trade chief Berair, who had Norse blood. But even so, the will attribute is only ninety-four points.
According to the current inaugural rewards and punishments, Sean silently calculated and found that the strength that these ninety-four points of will attribute can improve is too limited.
If he wants to activate the third magic seal effect, then his will attribute will drop by ten points, and if he activates the fourth, then it will drop by thirty points. In battle, if you want to maintain the effect of four magic seals at the same time, then you will also be punished by an additional fifteen points of temporary decrease in will attribute. In other words, if Sean decides to activate the four magic seals, then his will attribute will be reduced by as much as forty-five points.
As we all know, the level of the will attribute determines a person's resistance to soul energy magic, as well as the ability to persist in many other aspects. For example, people with high will attributes are in some places where the environment is relatively harsh. They are also able to maintain a high level of combat power, and will not be lightly disturbed by the environment to reduce their personal combat effectiveness, and the growth rate of negative attribute values such as hunger, thirst, hunger, and exhaustion will also be greatly suppressed.
The criteria for judging it have never been officially announced. But there has never been a shortage of sophistication in the game. Therefore, under the research of these very idle but respectable guys, people soon found that for every fifty points of increase in the will attribute, the decline in various abilities will affect the fluctuation value by about three percent. Don't underestimate this three-percent fluctuation value, when it comes to the player's high-level situation, this three-percent change often represents one or two powerful attack skills in the hands of high-level players, or even running a little more distance, swinging that more attack, and so on.
Ninety-four points of volitional attributes. In the realm of high-level gold, it can't be regarded as very good, it can only be said to be a relatively decent number. But one of the prerequisites for this is that Sean doesn't activate the third or even fourth magic seal. Once he activates the Multiple Magic Seals, then his will attribute will be greatly reduced, and it will also drop to a more dangerous stage.
For Sean, the Multiple Seals are a true double-edged sword.
Sean's gaze. I couldn't help but look at my own proficiency point.
Because of the advancement to the upper gold. And Sean also has enough experience to burn the level, so this time he directly got twenty proficiency points in one go, plus the ten proficiency points that were missing when he was in the lower gold before were all returned after breaking through at this time, so Sean now has a total of thirty unused proficiency points. Moreover, there is another item in his backpack that can also increase the will attribute.
Now Sean is hesitant whether to devote all these proficiency points to the volitional attribute.
However, after much hesitation, Sean was still reluctant to devote all thirty proficiency points to the will attribute. After all, this thing will never depreciate in value, and it can be used whenever you want. And the most important thing is that Sean doesn't have any demons or demons to catch right now - although Sean knows where to meet these guys in the Miracle Continent now, he doesn't have time to capture them at the moment. So choosing to activate multiple magic seals now is a waste in Sean's opinion.
Therefore, Sean was ruthless, and Sean still did not make such an extravagant move after all.
It's just that Sean feels the need to go to the spire to look at it, after all, the attributes of the Twin Rings of Destiny and the legendary ring are too drooling. In particular, the Vermilion Tears also added fifteen points of wisdom and fifteen points of will--Now Sean has begun to have a kind of madness about all the equipment that can increase the attribute of will.
There is no way, after all, the level of the will attribute determines the level of Sean's future combat power. He didn't like to be a three-minute or five-minute powerhouse, because almost as soon as he saw the reward of multiple magic seals, he had already conceived a perfect combination of magic seals in his mind, which could allow him to have the strength to truly match the powerhouses of the lower holy realms, and no longer needed to be limited by the timeliness of light body techniques and adrenal stimulation.
It's just that, Sean can't get it for the time being.
Because what he lacks most now is time - whether it is to hunt demons, demons, or even other dark creatures, or to look at the spire to find those mages seeking the unlocking of the Twin Rings of Destiny, it obviously takes a long time. Therefore, even though Sean is really impatient now, his real situation is still powerless, after all, he can't be selfish enough to just take care of his own affairs and abandon the safety of all his followers.
In particular, now Sean has also received a world mission that can be counted as a main quest.
This is also the second system prompt sound that Sean heard before after the purification of the Holy Demon Bones ended.
