"F * ck!"
Søren couldn't help but curse. He hurriedly picked up the bag and put it on himself.
Luckily, he couldn't fit the items after the trap was removed. Søren made a bag out of the clothes of the dead and put the parts of the crossbow trap inside. After all, this was a real world. Søren didn't have a storage space, nor did he have a multi-dimensional bag. There weren't many things that he could carry with him. He didn't think that he would be able to escape from the trap. At least he still had the box for the crossbow and the clothes of the dead.
As for the loot he obtained at the beginning, it was all gone.
"Damn it!"
"I can't believe I got a Godly Thieving Card."
Søren was no stranger to this card. Someone had drawn it before and opened it in front of everyone.
The result was obvious!
Søren put on the badly damaged and moldy clothes and opened the second card. After the card was opened, it would turn into an ordinary piece of art. The magic attached to it would disappear. There were people who liked to collect these cards, but no one had ever collected a complete set. At that time, there were three sets of cards that were popular among the players. They were all left behind from the Arcane Empire: the Deck of Many Things, the Arcane Cards, and the Deck of Fate.
The first set had 108 cards, the second set had 72 cards, and the last set had 36 cards.
The easiest to get was the Deck of Many Things. The Arcane Cards could only be found in rare underground ruins. As for the Deck of Fate, there were only three until the fall of the Gods.
A faint light appeared!
After the second Deck of Many Things absorbed Søren's blood, it spun like a whirlpool. The first thing that appeared was a barren land. There were almost no living things in sight. In the distance, there was a boundless desert. In the middle of the desert, a hunched figure appeared. He walked forward with firm steps. His body was as firm as a rock, and his eyes were fixed in the distance.
"The Ascetic."
A powerful force poured into Soran's body. After the tearing pain all over his body, endless fatigue surged in his heart. It felt as if he had traveled a long distance of over ten thousand kilometers. His body was already exhausted, and he was only relying on his tenacious willpower to hold on until now.
A row of data appeared:
"Deck of Many Things [The Ascetic] activated! Personal Ability [Perseverance] awakened! … "
"Physique increased to 18! … "
"Magic Modification completed."
Søren felt an indescribable fatigue, but at the same time, he felt a strong vitality.
It was as if he had really traveled tens of thousands of miles and experienced countless wind, frost, and snow. His body had also become stronger and stronger during the long journey.
After the endless fatigue, he had a strength's.
It was as if as long as he did not fall, he would continue to move forward, and he would not stop until the moment of his death!
"Perseverance [Personal Ability]: Your will has withstood the test of difficulty, and it has almost formed a kind of spiritual power that is almost tangible! When you face any charm type control spells, you will gain an additional 5 points of immunity! "
I've earned it.
Søren's face showed a hint of joy. It was as if he was grateful for his good luck!
There were very few cards that could increase attributes in the Deck of Many Things. Out of the 108 cards, only a dozen could increase attributes. Other than the two mysterious trump cards, the best card that had appeared was the 'Champion Knight'. This card increased the user's Strength to 20 points and Physique to 18 points. Even though the person who opened the card was a wizard, he still became known as a violent melee wizard. This guy used to have a very high reputation in the Northern Plains. Unfortunately, he fell during the Blizzard War.
It was because there were not many attribute points gained from leveling up that many people were looking for other ways to increase their attributes.
Regular training was no longer effective for players who had solidified their Hero Template. Many people had to make a decision when they first allocated 90 attribute points. The reason why Søren was known as a violent dual-wielding rogue was because he gave up on Charm and increased all his other attributes to 15 points. In other words, other than his unattractive appearance, his other abilities were at the peak of the average person's level.
Items that could increase attributes were very rare!
Most of them were Legendary items. It was very difficult to obtain them, and they could only be increased by 20 points at most.
After entering the Realm of Extraordinary, it was almost impossible to use items to increase attributes.
"My Physique increased by 3 points.
That's equivalent to six Profession Levels! "
Søren punched his chest. Even though he used 70% of his strength, his internal organs did not feel any discomfort. This meant that his Physique was close to the Realm of Extraordinary. A normal person with 10 points of Strength would not be able to hurt him. If his Physique could reach 20 points, he would be able to awaken the Extraordinary talent 'Rebirth'. It was the easiest Extraordinary talent to awaken. The other talents could only be awakened after reaching 25 points of Physique.
Those who could reach 25 points of Physique were already at the Realm of Legendary Professions!
As for the Personal Ability 'Perseverance', it was a relatively common Personal Ability. Many people awakened it under difficult circumstances. Søren had awakened it in the Fire Elemental Plane. At that time, he was almost roasted to death. He was lucky enough to survive after falling into the lava. At the same time, he also awakened the talent 'Weak Fire Resistance'. At that time, Søren's body was almost unrecognizable. In the end, he had to spend a lot of money to hire a Legendary Priest to cast 'Greater Restoration' to save his life.
During that time, his Strength, Physique, and Dexterity all decreased by 10 points. He was almost a cripple!
"There's one more."
Soran's eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at the last card, which was the Deck of Many Things, after receiving such a shocking reward. If he could draw another card that increased his attributes, then his current attributes would be much better than when he was a Hero. At the very least, his current Charm value was now as high as 16 points, and he would no longer be as annoying as he used to be.
His Charm was so low that even the Goblins didn't care about him. Even when he applied to enter the Elven Kingdom, he was rejected.
Those damn Elves from the Appearance Association!
Since he had already used two cards, Søren naturally wouldn't leave the last one to rust. With a hint of frustration in his heart, he dripped his blood on the third card.
A blood-red light appeared!
Søren's face instantly changed. He threw the card away as if it was scalding his hand.
It was a Summoning Card.
The Card of Ten Thousand Creations was unpredictable. No one could predict what would happen after activating it. There was a possibility of gaining power, or obtaining treasures, but there was also the possibility of summoning monsters, or even receiving damage! The blood-red light represented the Abyss and Hell. The holy light represented the Gods of Heaven. The five-colored light represented the Elemental Plane.
This card summoned creatures from Hell and the Abyss in the lower planes!
A mysterious whirlpool appeared in the middle of the card. The image fell rapidly through the sulfur, lava, and ice, and finally stopped at a ferocious and twisted face.
"Snake Demon!"
The Card of Ten Thousand Creations turned into a blood-red portal.
After seeing the hideous face, Søren's general attributes immediately appeared in his mind.
It was the data that the players had collected and evaluated.
"Snake Demon [Abyss Demon] (Grade 3)"
"Challenge Rating: Level 6, Monster Level: 12, Spell-Like Abilities"
"Highest and Lowest Attributes: 21, 10, Total Attribute Points: 85-95"
"Special Abilities: Dual-wielding, Multi-Attack"
"Challenge Rating: A +"
The Snake Demon would grow an extra pair of arms as its strength increased. Each additional pair of arms would increase its Challenge Rating by 5 and its Monster Level by 6. In other words, the Four-Armed Snake Demon had a Challenge Rating of 11 and a Monster Level of 18. The Six-Armed Snake Demon had a Challenge Rating of 16 and a Monster Level of 24. As for the Eight-Armed Snake Demon, it was already a Legendary existence. Under normal circumstances, the appearance of an Eight-Armed Snake Demon meant the arrival of a Demon Lord.
"There's no way I can fight it head-on!"
This was the first thought that popped into Søren's mind. His current Rogue Profession was Level 3, while the Snake Demon's Monster Level was 12. There was a difference of 9 levels between them. The Challenge Rating of the team was 6, which meant that a team of at least 5 Adventurers with excellent equipment and Profession Levels above 6 would have a 50% chance of defeating the Snake Demon in front of him.
Although the Two-Armed Snake Demon summoned was the lowest level, it was still not something that he could easily deal with at this moment.
Abyss Demons were supernatural creatures.
Taking into account the difference in Profession Levels, the Snake Demon's HP and Stamina were more than three times higher than his. There was almost no chance of winning if he faced it head-on.
Several thoughts flashed through Søren's mind in an instant.
However, his movements did not have the slightest hesitation. Just as a dark red teleportation door appeared in front of his eyes and sent the Two-Armed Snake Demon into the stone room, he quickly threw himself to the ground, took out the crossbow box, and pulled the trigger.
The teleportation was completed in the next moment.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
A painful scream echoed in the stone room.
The Snake Demon was more than 2.4 meters tall and weighed more than 600 pounds. As soon as it appeared in the stone room, it was greeted by six powerful crossbow bolts. The bolts almost covered its chest, and most of them penetrated its scales and entered its body. The sudden attack caused the Snake Demon to go berserk. It did not even have time to check its surroundings before it waved its two swords wildly.
"Kacha!"
The 20 centimeter thick stone table was split in half. Søren's eyebrows twitched when he saw this. Without hesitation, he threw away the box in his hand and dashed outside. Six crossbow bolts were not enough to kill the Snake Demon. It was basically impossible to defeat it. Just by looking at the Snake Demon's fighting strength, it could probably cut him into pieces with just one strike.
As soon as Søren fled, the Snake Demon madly chased after him.
Most Abyss Demons were chaotic and evil creatures. Bloodthirsty, cruel, and murderous were their nature. They basically did not have the time to reason with people.
Once the summoning was successful!
Unless you could enslave it, you would be killed by it!
