Regarding skills.
Irin noticed something strange not long after the arrival of the Great Apostle Era.
It seemed that not only him, but every apostle's probability of obtaining "skills" from various sources had greatly decreased.
Moreover, in the version update notes, there was one thing worth noting.
That was …
When an apostle died, all the skills, equipment, and unused items he obtained from the tower would return to the "wishing pool." They would return to where they came from.
Then, did this mean that …
After the mass summoning, because there were too many apostles, there were not enough skills to go around?
Later, Irin vaguely noticed this point from the words of his friends or the posts on the apostle forum.
There were fewer and fewer people discussing what skills they had obtained.
In the past, this kind of thing was quite popular.
For example —
[A newbie accidentally obtained an "A" level skill in the last trial. Is this probability too high?]
[May I ask if you can be considered an expert if you accidentally obtained an S-rank skill?]
[I have too many skills now. I don't have enough Spiritual Energy Points. So annoying!]
In the past, there were many similar posts on the forum.
But recently, there were fewer and fewer posts.
[Sword Mastery] and [Sword Mastery] were two passive skills related to the "sword."
They fell on Irin, but currently, they were completely useless.
Ah, no.
It was not completely useless. He still had two [Rare] swords in his bag. In Haiting City, Irin forgot about them and did not have time to give them to Oda Wu. With these two passive skills, it would be easier for him to pretend to be a new melee fighter in the future.
In the future, when he met people he did not know, he could say, "I am an ignorant two-sword type close combat fighter."
From the various signs, this point was reflected.
"In this circle, internal conflict is becoming more and more serious."
No wonder in Haiting City, the remnants of the Church of Dawn could easily stir up conflicts between newbies and veterans.
Compared to newbies, veterans had too much of an advantage.
According to Li Kai, most of the newbie apostles could not muster up the courage to step into the door trial after surviving the first cruel preliminary apostle trial. Even if they had seen a whole new world, they would rather be an "ordinary person" and try their best to survive.
Yi Lin sighed softly. Thinking of this, he silently closed the Apostle Panel.
After checking the loot, it was time to deal with the "Chaos Value".
Nothing major happened on the ship for the time being, so it was still safe.
Even if a sea monster were to emerge from the sea, Irin believed that with Miriam's combat prowess, she would be able to easily destroy the sea monster. He might even be able to have a delicious supper.
Irin had no doubt about that.
When it came to supper, Miriam was more concerned than anyone else.
Irin closed his eyes and felt his body falling. A moment later, he arrived at the Module Space.
This strange space that only existed in his spiritual world was as barren and silent as ever. There were only glowing spheres that were connected by strings in the depths of the void.
He decided to leave the two new skills aside for now.
Although Yi Lin now had 300,000 Chaos Points, which made him rich this time, compared to the huge amount of Chaos Points needed to level up the Module Skills, it was just a drop in the bucket.
"300,000."
Irin thought for a moment.
A moment later.
He skillfully shrunk the Module in front of him and pressed his finger on the light sphere where [Grip of Annihilation] was.
Irin was already familiar with the upgrade process, so he skipped the confirmation process.
The skill sphere flashed, and [Grip of Annihilation] consumed a total of 160,000 Chaos Value and upgraded to 4-star.
…
[Grip of Annihilation]
【Grade】 4-star
【Consumption】 400 Psionic Energy Points
【Restriction】 Empty handed casting.
【Effect】 Lock onto a 10x10x10 cubic area with your bare hands, creating an explosion of unknown power. The casting distance and power of the explosion are directly related to Strength, Agility, and Spirit. There is a certain chance of triggering the "Annihilation" effect, which is related to Luck.
【Description】 Your hand is filled with killing intent, and it will not recognize anyone. If you are not careful, you might even die from the "Annihilation" effect.
…
After the skill was upgraded.
Irin carefully read the description attached to the skill.
After reading it, Irin was slightly stunned.
It seemed that something was wrong.
"Strange, when the Grip of Annihilation was 3-star, it only consumed 200 Psionic Energy Points, and the explosion range was' 4x4x4 '. But how did 4-star become '10x10x10'? This doesn't follow common sense? The consumption has doubled, and the range of the explosion is higher than expected? "
Irin frowned.
The upgrade route of this skill was a little different from what he had imagined.
After a while, Irin happily accepted this cruel reality.
At first, he thought that the explosion range of the skill would only be upgraded to '8x8x8'.
As for the extra consumption, heh, with his current Psionic Energy Points, could that be considered a consumption?
The only thing to worry about was that the upgraded [Grip of Annihilation] should be more difficult than expected to roll the Annihilation Ball. He needed more practice.
In short …
This skill became another skill that Irin could be called a "one-shot" after [Bloodthirsty Disaster].
In the Apocalypse Guild, Irin and Old Pan were categorized as the "one-shot" group.
This "one-shot" group lived up to its name.
Irin himself didn't know what would happen if he threw the Annihilation Ball down.
Even he was a little scared when he thought about it.
On [Grip of Annihilation], Irin consumed 160,000 Chaos Points.
He only had 140,000 Chaos Points left.
"I can still upgrade one more skill."
Irin pondered for a moment and decisively made a choice.
There was nothing to hesitate about.
Pa ~
"Upgrade for me!"
…
[Bloodthirsty Disaster]
【Grade】 4-star
【Consumption】 50% Health
【Restriction】 You must loudly say, "It's not me who's wrong, it's the world!" to activate the skill.
【Effect】 Every time you kill a life, you can choose to absorb 40% of the total attributes of the dead person's "Strength", "Agility", and "Spirit" to condense 1 layer of "Blood Will". You can accumulate 5 layers of "Blood Will" in total. After using the skill, you can consume all of the "Blood Will" to generate temporary attribute values.
【Duration】 240 seconds
【Cooldown】 48 hours (Note: during the cooldown period, the apostle will enter a "weakened" state)
【Description】 Death is like the wind, accompanying me! If you're not careful, you might die before you kill someone.
…
As the trump card of the trump cards, Irin once again placed [Bloodthirsty Disaster] at the forefront of his priority.
As Irin's three attributes increased, the "weakened" state was no longer as terrifying as before.
At the very least, Irin's Spirit attribute wouldn't drop to the point where Irin would have "cerebral palsy".
As a skill that could turn the situation around, Irin had sought a chance of survival many times in a disadvantageous situation. At first, Irin was against it, but now he felt that it was a lot better.
After the module skill was upgraded,
The skill still consumed 50% of his HP. This didn't change much. After all, it was a Critical Blood skill, so Irin could understand.
The change in the skill was that every level of Blood Will increased from 30% to 40%. Irin didn't need to purposely choose a target to condense Blood Will on. As long as it wasn't too weak, with five levels of Blood Will, Irin could easily raise his Spirit, Agility, and Strength to one level of Transcendent.
With all three attributes broken, Irin could truly go all out. Other than [Doom Echo], he could use all of his other abilities freely.
Also,
The duration of the skill was extended from 210 seconds to 240 seconds.
A full four minutes.
Within these four minutes, if Irin went crazy, it would become the nightmare of countless people.
The operation was completed.
Irin exited the module space.
After a busy night, a faint white light appeared on the distant horizon.
After using up a lot of Mana, Irin was a little tired, so he laid down on the spot and fell asleep.
The days of sailing were boring.
Cyberras was as calm as ever.
But Yi Lin could see that deep down, she was restless.
The cargo ship's motor was running at full speed.
Logically speaking, there were only two reasons for Cyberras to be so anxious.
One was because of the stolen treasure from the Clock Tower.
The other was because his relatives were here.
As for which one, Irin was too embarrassed to find out.
As for Irin,
He had the experience of sailing in the vast sea for more than two months, so this didn't make Irin feel any negative emotions.
There was a foldable bed in the cargo ship.
He took out one and lay on the deck to enjoy the sun when the weather was clear.
Griffin squatted on the roof of the cockpit, gritting his teeth as he stared at the book in Irin's hand.
— "A Humanistic Ethical Discussion of Animal Transformation Magic in Daily Life"
Obviously, this was another book that Irin had "borrowed" from the Clock Tower's library.
In these short twenty-four hours, from sunrise to sunset, Griffin had been staring at Irin. She found that there were already six different books that Irin had switched back and forth.
"How many books did he steal!!"
During the boring voyage, an interesting thing happened.
Irin quietly dripped a few drops of blood into the sea, and it attracted a group of hungry sharks.
That night, Miriam, who had been hungry all day, ate a full shark feast in satisfaction.
Irin changed his style and used different shark positions … uh, body parts, to make a total of eight dishes.
When Miriam was satisfied with her meal, the ancestral ahoge on her forehead curled into a strange shape and could not stop trembling.
On the third evening after they went out to sea.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sea red.
The cargo ship quietly arrived on the other side of the English Channel.
On the other side of the coast, when Irin and the other four went ashore, they did not encounter any local armed forces such as robbers or road bandits.
Irin was deeply regretful about this.
Not long after Irin and the others went ashore.
A very ordinary-looking white pigeon flapped its wings and flew recklessly toward Irin and the others.
Just as Irin raised his hand and was about to slap the passing white pigeon, Cyberras' expression changed slightly. He quickly suppressed Irin's restless thoughts.
"It's a communication between magicians."
As Cyberras spoke, the white pigeon accurately landed on Cyberras' shoulder.
"A messenger pigeon? What an ancient method! "
The white pigeon spat out a mini emerald in Cyberras' palm. After the white pigeon completed its mission, it trembled as it looked toward Irin's direction and flew away as if it was running for its life.
Cyberras patted the emerald, and the emerald flashed. Ancient words appeared on the emerald one after another.
This was the "Rune of Runes" magic that Cyberras was used to. It had many functions and could be used to convey secret messages.
"We have to hurry."
After reading the content of the message, Cyberras did not explain anything.
They rushed through the night and only rested for three hours. They sped toward the Deutsche Republic.
Along the way.
There were many abandoned gas stations that were unguarded.
Irin finally let Nightingale have its fill of pure fuel for once. The motorcycle under Irin's butt burped all the way. Its tires wobbled as it walked, as if it was drunk from the fuel.
The fifth day.
According to the plan, they finally arrived at the legendary "Red Hair City."
It was also the former Munich City.
Along the way, Irin and the others purposely avoided populated areas, so they did not encounter any trouble.
Even if there was trouble, it would be someone else's problem.
Munich City was an ancient city.
In Irin's impression, a city was nothing more than a bustling street, lively crowds, well-connected roads, and bright lights at night. There would never be a day of sleep.
But looking at the city from afar, "it" gave Irin a different feeling.
If London was always shrouded in fog, it was like a shy girl wearing a thin veil.
In that case, Munich was filled with passionate, bold, and unrestrained women.
The Gothic domed buildings with ancient decorations retained their original appearance. Orange, red, blue, and all kinds of bright colors were arranged neatly and stacked on top of each other.
Looking down from above, the roofs of different colors seemed to form an abstract oil painting with a different artistic conception.
Many buildings in the city had a black flag on top of them. The picture on the flag was a ferocious white skull with flame-like "red hair" fluttering above it.
These flags seemed to be announcing to the outside world that this was the territory of the "red hair."
"Be careful, Joe D. Solomon, also known as the" red hair. "This person is not simple."
Miriam was outside the city. She had a rare serious expression as she said to Irin, "On the Tower of War server leaderboard, Joe D. Solomon is one of the few veterans who voluntarily revealed his name on the leaderboard."
Joe D. Solomon?
Irin opened the "World Individual Leaderboard" expressionlessly.
After not paying attention to it for a long time, the leaderboard had a slight change.
Irin's own ranking went from 87th to 85th in the world.
Flipping to the first page of the leaderboard, Irin's eyes narrowed. He saw the name "Joe D. Solomon."
World Ranking, 58th!
In terms of overall strength, Joe D. Solomon's ranking was even higher than Irin's!
Although Irin knew that he had only been an apostle for a short period of time, his improvement was too fast, causing his apostle level to be unable to keep up with the pace of his improvement. In terms of overall strength, Irin was greatly dragged down by his apostle level. This made Irin suspect that he was pretending to be weak.
But —
Among the billions of apostles, those who could be ranked in the top 100 were all elite fighters. Their strength was not to be underestimated.
"The world's seventh guild, ranked 58th in terms of individual strength."
The leaderboard was only for reference, but Irin was still slightly excited.
After thinking for a while, Irin turned around and asked Seibras, who had a constipated face, "Are you sure that Circia Von Einzbeuren is still in this city?"
"I can't be sure."
Seibras answered honestly.
Irin looked at Gu Tianqing, who was silent on the side.
Gu Tianqing opened her hands and smiled with her eyes narrowed. In a helpless tone, she took the initiative to say, "My esteemed chairman, you know very well that my divination is more inclined to predict the direction of events than to locate and find people."
Irin believed her for the time being.
Around Ber City, a tall barbed wire fence was pulled up. It was at least five meters tall.
In just a few months after the mutation, the city had become a private fortress.
Teams of soldiers in dark green military uniforms patrolled the main entrance of the city. The defense was tight.
"Should we charge in?"
Griffin carried a black bag on his shoulder and asked coldly.
"No need."
Irin stuffed a "crystal" into Miriam, Seibras, and Griffin's hands.
The three of them were dumbfounded.
"Gu Tianqing, come with me. From your appearance, I can tell that you're locals. You're too obvious. "
Hearing this, Griffin and Seibras tilted their heads and typed out a question mark.
They instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Irin's words.
Wasn't it because he and Gu Tianqing had two standard Asian faces that made them more eye-catching?
Irin called Gu Tianqing, patted his clothes, tidied up his slightly wrinkled suit, and walked straight to the door.
Gu Tianqing froze for a moment. She seemed to understand Irin's plan. She smiled helplessly and followed.
"Wait."
Seibras had a rare surprised expression. She grabbed Irin's collar and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Find someone and ask."
Irin answered matter-of-factly.
"Right, this is called throwing a 'stone' to ask for directions."
In the end, Irin made a vivid gesture of throwing something forward and explained to Miriam.
