Glex City.
This city wasn't very famous in the Underdark. Compared to this rather majestic city of the Grey Dwarves, perhaps the people of the Underdark were more familiar with its lord.
Greybeard!
This was an outstanding character that was rarely seen in a hundred years.
There would always be some heroes in every race, such as Eugene of the Orcs, Cui of the Drows, the Griffin King of the Humans, and so on. Greybeard was such a character. He was born in the wilderness. It was said that his father and mother were slaves controlled by the Mind Flayer Elder. He had been tortured and controlled by the Mind Flayer Elder as an experiment in his childhood. This torture changed his mind. While giving him great pain, it also allowed him to advance into a powerful Psionic Warlock.
Perhaps it was a little sad.
The fate of the Grey Dwarves had always been difficult. They were enslaved for a long time. Although they resisted and defeated the Mind Flayer in the end, this tragic history still brought a lot of pain to their race. Many of the Grey Dwarves' minds had been completely distorted in this way, so there were often some evil lunatics in this race.
Greybeard was such a product.
However, his talent was amazing. This painful experience finally achieved everything for him!
Greybeard endured for a long time under the control of the Mind Flayer until he was strong enough. He freed the enslaved Grey Dwarves and led them to fight a powerful Mind Flayer Lair head-on.
Greybeard became famous in this battle!
Not only did he destroy the evil Mind Flayer Lair, but he also succeeded in killing the Mind Flayer Elder.
Of course.
The price was also very heavy.
Greybeard's mind was damaged. His mind occasionally fell into a terrible state of madness. There were two permanent scars on the back of his head, which were caused by the tentacles controlled by the Mind Flayer. The Mind Flayer Elder tried to suck Greybeard's brain, but before it succeeded, Greybeard suddenly went berserk and directly split its skull open with a battle axe.
Since then, there was one more Legendary Grey Dwarf Psionic Warlock in the Underdark.
Greybeard was not only a Legendary Psionic Warlock (Profession Level 21), but also a Level 5 Berserker and Level 5 Wizard.
No one knew what kind of ability the Mind Flayer's torture brought to him, but there was no doubt that he would be a very dangerous enemy!
Glex City.
This majestic city of grey dwarves was dug out directly from the ground. There weren't many people here, only around ten to twenty thousand, but there were also many slaves of other races.
This was the tradition of the Underdark.
Every city in the Underdark liked to capture slaves. To them, slaves were free labor and consumables.
The duergar city was a bit of a mess.
This was similar to other dwarves, because dwarves liked drinking, liveliness, and fighting. As long as no one died, no one would care if they were beaten black and blue in the tavern. Most of the dwarves had rough skin and thick flesh, so fighting was not a big deal at all. Soran had just passed by a tavern when he saw a drunk Gray Dwarf being thrown out. The resources of the Underdark were quite abundant, and the gray dwarves were living quite comfortably by relying on the weapons trade. Søren also knew that Glex City was actually very rich.
The reason was simple.
There was a Mithril vein here!
Thinking of this, Søren couldn't help but look up at the castle in the distance. There was a furnace erected there, and a dazzling fire could be seen from afar.
The fire here hadn't been extinguished for more than ten years!
About ten years ago, the gray dwarves of this city discovered a large vein of mithril while they were in the process of mining. This was quite a shocking amount of wealth, and if it was leaked out, it might even lead to a crazy attack from the drows. Therefore, the ruler of Glex City, Greybeard, blocked the news for a while and restricted all the dwarven craftsmen who knew the truth, not allowing them to leave. Since then, the fire in Glex City had never been extinguished. Greybeard was using the Mithril to forge a powerful equipment.
A Mithril Mail Armor of the divine level!
The production of Mithril had always been very low, and refining it was also quite difficult. Even if Greybeard controlled a Mithril vein, he had only recently completed the creation of this equipment. [Note: The Mithril Mail Armor worn by Frodo in the Lord of the Rings is almost equivalent to the reserves of the dwarven kingdom for hundreds of years.]
Greybeard's ambition was still very big.
As a spellcaster and a Berserker, he had always wanted to be able to exert his most powerful strength!
However.
This situation was very difficult to achieve under normal circumstances. This was because if he cast spells, he couldn't wear armor, and if he wore armor, there was a very high failure rate.
The failure rate of plate armor was 80-90%, the failure rate of half armor was 60-70%, the failure rate of chain armor was 40-50%, and even the failure rate of leather armor was 20-30%.
Once the spell failed!
He would directly suffer the backlash of the spell, which could be understood as the damage of the spell being transferred to himself.
Therefore.
Almost no spellcasters would cast spells with armor, and because of this, Søren didn't even wear leather armor.
This was a congenital defect.
Greybeard was facing the same problem as Søren. No matter what, he couldn't exert his most powerful strength. If he wanted to cast spells, he couldn't wear armor, and if he wanted to fight in close combat, he had to rely on strong equipment. For this reason, Greybeard spent a lot of energy to solve the problem. He defeated the Mind Flayer's nest, obtained the knowledge of an ancient empire, and finally found a little bit of direction.
The Mind Flayer Empire!
An ancient galactic empire that had been destroyed!
The Mind Flayers had also created a glorious psionic civilization. They were born with psionic energy (called [Psionic Energy] during the Mind Flayer Empire), and established an interstellar empire that spanned many planes of the sea of stars.
This empire might be more advanced than the Githyanki civilization, and the Age of Thorium hadn't even begun yet.
The evil nature of the Mind Flayers brought them destruction.
This ancient empire didn't leave many clues and disappeared in the sea of stars. It was said that the destruction of this empire was related to an Astral Beast that could never be killed.
Even!
The materials needed to seize the divine power of the Goddess of Magic during the Age of Thorium were also related to this Astral Beast.
The Mind Flayers went into decline.
Now, the Mind Flayers in many planes had almost degenerated to a primitive race. They only relied on their natural psionic energy to fight, and their research on knowledge had long reached a bottleneck. That was how Greybeard got a little knowledge from the Mind Flayer's nest, some very ancient psionic knowledge. He was going to use psionic energy to enchant the Mithril Mail Armor and completely eliminate its interference in the spellcasting process.
According to the original history, he succeeded in the end!
And.
The time was now.
The entire Glaix City's defense was very tight. Greybeard had been preparing for this for more than ten years. Now that the divine artifact was about to be completed, he would be even more cautious.
Søren, disguised as the Gray Dwarf, had not yet approached, but he had already alerted the guards.
However, he pretended to be passing by and walked directly near the mayor's mansion. The security in this area was quite tight. Søren found at least a dozen patrols with his god-level perception.
This didn't include the enemies lurking in the dark!
In the place where the fire of the furnace lit up, Søren could perceive a trace of psionic energy fluctuations, and it seemed that there were magic traps inside.
"This is a bit tricky."
Søren felt a slight headache at this time, but he quickly thought of a solution.
He planned to level up first!
As he became stronger, Søren needed more Slaughter EXP to level up his profession. At his current level, relying on his profession's level alone could not increase his combat power too much.
All of his abilities were almost comprehensive, and the combat power of the god-level template was more important.
This was a watershed.
Only when Søren's profession level reached level 30, or even level 40, would he clearly feel that the power of his profession level was gradually catching up with the power given by the god-level template.
Søren currently had nearly 2,300,000 Slaughter EXP!
This amount of Slaughter EXP was only enough for him to level up his Arcanist profession by one level, but it was enough for him to level up his Rogue profession by two levels.
The Slaughter EXP needed to level up the Rogue profession was much less!
A row of data appeared in front of his eyes:
"Rogue profession has leveled up to level 9."
"Received 45 (DEX 36 + (INT 27-10) * 0.5) skill points, HP increased by 15 (Profession HP 6 + (CON 27-10) * 0.5)."
"You have received one ability point!"
… … …
"Rogue profession has leveled up to level 10."
"Received 45 (DEX 36 + (INT 27-10) * 0.5) skill points, HP increased by 15 (Profession HP 6 + (CON 27-10) * 0.5)."
"You have received one free attribute point!"
… … …
Without a doubt.
Søren added the free attribute point to Dexterity, and now his Dexterity had reached 37 points.
As for the ability point, Søren did not have much to think about, and directly chose the passive ability [Legendary Reflex].
"Legendary Reflex [Epic Ability]: You have an unimaginable reflex ability. This ability allows you to receive an additional 4 points of reflex when facing any attack, whether it's a magic attack or a physical attack. This ability can be stacked with any reflex ability, automatically replacing the effect of [Lightning Reflex]. Any evasion ability will receive an additional bonus! "
"It's finally done!"
After receiving this legendary ability, Søren couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Legendary Evasion, Legendary Reflex, Legendary Combat Skills, Epic Dexterity, Reflex Evasion Proficiency, Intuitive Evasion Proficiency, Roll Evasion Proficiency, Agile Movement …
Except for the most difficult [Sixth Sense], Søren had almost maxed out all the passive evasion abilities.
"Only [Sixth Sense] is left!"
Søren looked at his attribute page and could not help but shake his head and sigh. If all the evasion abilities of a Rogue were used up, then the evasion value would be stacked to more than 95%!
Of course.
To reach such a high level, one would need the [Sixth Sense] ability or the [Super Sixth Sense] ability.
Søren couldn't do it yet.
If all the evasion abilities were calculated, his current evasion value should be around 75-85%, and his powerful Dexterity provided an additional evasion bonus. If he completed the [Sixth Sense] ability, then his evasion value would almost certainly reach more than 95%!
Basically, physical attacks would not be a problem for him to dodge to this extent, and he could even dodge magic attacks.
"Sixth Sense!"
"How can a Rogue get the [Sixth Sense] ability? There's no way to train this thing at all! "
Søren looked at his ability and then focused on other aspects.
For now.
Søren's evasion ability should be the best in the material plane, and there shouldn't be many people in the multiverse who could have a higher evasion ability than him.
It was too difficult to stack to the limit, so he didn't need to put too much effort into it for the time being.
Because combat power was not only reflected in evasion!
"Sneak is currently at 415 points."
Søren quickly focused on his own Sneak. The purpose of his trip was to steal things, not to fight, so he did not hesitate to put all his skill points into Sneak.
At his current level, it was very difficult to improve his basic skills by himself.
Currently, he could only use skill points to improve it.
As if reaching a critical point, when Søren's Sneak increased to 500 points, the space around him seemed to distort slightly, and then returned to normal.
The power of shadow!
When Sneak broke through the critical line of 500 points, Søren's whole body seemed to have disappeared.
No.
He didn't disappear, and he didn't even enter Sneak.
Søren was still standing in the same place, and the others could see him with their naked eyes. But unlike before, Søren could be seen, but he couldn't be felt.
All his aura disappeared.
There was almost no way to feel his existence in any way. 500 points of Sneak had reached an incredible level, and even the gods would find it difficult to detect Søren's existence.
"Finally, a basic skill has increased to 500 points."
Søren sighed softly, and then disappeared. There was no trace of him, and no change could be felt, as if he didn't exist at all.
500 points of basic skills was a watershed.
Any basic skill that reached this level was equivalent to stepping into the [Realm of Gods]!
Looking at the entire multiverse, only some of the old gods could reach this level. Even if a mortal was a legendary figure, the limit they could reach was only 400 points.
Søren had completely disappeared.
No one could detect his existence, and even the [Lord of Shadows] would find it difficult to detect Søren's Sneak.
He passed through the guards' protection as if he was invisible.
Søren quickly approached the location of the furnace. All the guards were just decorations to him, and the only thing he needed to be careful of now was the spell traps.
