Chapter 877: Blaspheming the Strong
Compared to the Skeleton Giant, the mode of this aircraft is not only more suitable for its role and ability, but also maximizes its combat effectiveness.
After all, it also has the ability to reborn as a shadow. As long as you don't encounter someone like Gavin who controls the ability to directly destroy sex, even if it is destroyed, it won't take long to be able to return to Vizeme Manor. Reborn.
The ultra-high movement speed can also maximize the ability of the shadow beacon. As long as there are supporting buildings in various places, even if they only have a few skull aircraft, they can still be everywhere. The effect of shadow territory.
It is nothing more than transferring the skull aircraft to wherever it is needed.
"Teacher, can the flight method and attack of this aircraft be improved? It is no longer a pure magic flight, but uses an energy propulsion method, just like Luna's energy sprint.
The attack capability is not simply limited to energy rays. Look at this skeleton cannon. Can it add more energy? Put it on top? It's really not possible to give it the ability to bombard. It uses magical energy as a push to eject those material bullets to form a physical strafing strike."
Gavin also has something that Filancini lacks. That is a large amount of resources and the development direction of the technology tree of another world for reference.
"Energy sprint? External attack device?" Filancini's soul of scientific research was completely ignited, and she repeated her old tricks, facing the skeleton cannon with a burst of analysis.
Both Delphine and Grace stared eagerly at the magic formula surrounding the skeleton cannon.
They have been studying this skeleton cannon for more than a day or two, and they have been trying to imitate it.
The progress has been slow. At present, we can barely repair the damaged skeleton cannons, but we are unable to imitate them because this thing involves not only magic, but also the divine power and laws. use.
I haven’t fully understood it yet, but the harvest is extremely huge.
The Skeleton Giant is their harvest from analyzing the Skeleton Cannon. Many of the magic formulas above are reversely analyzed from the Skeleton Cannon, especially the core magic formula remains intact - with Wiese Plum Manor is connected by remote shadows.
It can be seen that Filancini's analysis of the skeleton cannon is obviously much more time-consuming and laborious than the skeleton giant, but that's all.
The progress of the analysis progressed slowly and steadily, and a cylindrical cannon was cut open by Filancini by laying out the drawings.
"Mixed structure? These magic formulas are not only smooth forward, but also backwards. There are also magic modules between three dimensions. No wonder we always felt that something was missing when we studied it before. It turns out that the problem lies here ."
"I Even if we find it, it will be very difficult to restore it. We must have extraordinary ability to manipulate bones. We don't have the expertise in this area, and it is difficult for most spells to achieve this level."
A layman sees the excitement, an expert sees the door.
Daphne and Grace, who have deeply studied the Skeleton Cannon, immediately saw many unique things in it. They not only found the problem, but also found their own fatal flaws.
"Extraordinary ability to manipulate bones?" Gavin couldn't help but smile at the side, "What a coincidence. If you have needs in this regard, I really have a way to help you solve it."
"What can we do?" Daphne and Grace asked at the same time.
As two necromancy casters, bones are a very special casting material, ranking among their top three most commonly used casting materials, second only to soul and flesh.
“I wonder if this ability is what you want?” Gavin didn’t waste any time and directly showed them his basic ability to manipulate bones.
“Is there such a special ability?”
"Manipulation ability, this is exactly what we want. With the help of this ability, not only can the Skeleton Cannon be imitated, but our spellcasting ability in terms of undead can also be greatly improved, because this kind of spell is more biased towards It assists in the study of nature abilities and makes it easier to study spells related to bones."
Daphne and Grace's eyes shone. For them, this ability is exactly what they dream of.
The first time they saw this ability, they even had the idea of wasting their resources.
This ability is a waste in Gavin.
This idea just came up and was suppressed by them.
"This ability of the lord is not obtained by purifying and devouring the death hunter, right?" Although Daphne used a question, her tone was very certain.
She can be regarded as a veteran around Gavin. She can’t say that she knows everything about his abilities. At least she knows about them, including the uniqueness of destroying evil.
"Yes." Gavin nodded and admitted, "This is the special ability that the Death Patroller's purifying essence opened for me."
"The Lord wants to actively summon death The way of the hunter, kill and purify them, big Get the maximum amount of strengthened essence!"
Daphne was obviously a little disappointed, "I'm afraid the difficulty of this matter is very high. The Death Patroller is not an ordinary undead demon, and there is no way to summon it using ordinary methods of summoning demons. Arrived.
You must first find a way to obtain the demonic essence fragments of a death hunter. On a battlefield with heavy casualties, with the help of the powerful aura of death, it is possible to summon them to the material plane.
It is easy to find on the battlefield, but the essence fragments of the Death Hunter are difficult to obtain.
Either obtained from killing Death Patrollers who have entered the material plane, or by going deep into the bottomless abyss and directly depriving those Death Patrollers or signing a devil's contract.
Now that you destroy and purify this death hunter, it means that the Sel red-robed mages have lost the opportunity to summon a powerful demon. It is completely dead and cannot be summoned again. ”
The summoning rule mentioned by the undead priest can be regarded as a general rule.
Whether it is summoning monsters, natural allies, allies from other worlds, or demons, spells below the ninth level only summon more conventional creatures, and the strongest ones have just reached legend, such as the six-armed snake demon.
She is already the summoning ceiling of the nine-ring demon summoning spell.
If you want to summon a more powerful existence, you need a more unique method.
This method can be said to be varied, but one thing is the same, and that is to establish contact with this powerful existence in advance.
At that time, your summoning spell can only summon this being, not a random creature with the same name.
A death stalker with a minimum of thirty hit dice is out of the normal summoning range.
“You are thinking of a narrow path. This ability is not unique to Death Hunters. I speculate that most demons whose native place is the Plains of Bones have similar abilities. We can learn from those who are more familiar with it. Most of the regular demons have a chance to awaken similar abilities.
After all, it is just a basic control ability, so it should not be as difficult to obtain as you think. However, if you want to strengthen it in the later stage, you may need to find a death hunter. Such a powerful person is hunting." Gavin had a personal guess about this.
"The Lord's guess is not unreasonable." Daphne said thoughtfully, "But what I am thinking of is not the devil, but the devil, the Osei devil. They are also called bone devils. I don't know. Can it be purified from them?"
“The abilities are wrong.” Gavin shook his head and said, “They are called bone demons because they resemble skeletons, not because they have the ability to manipulate bones. Compared with them, they are an old acquaintance, but more powerful. May have this ability.
The bone claws of the distant sea swamps have the ability to extend their bone claws, which is very similar to manipulating bones. When those hags created such undead servants, they probably used the power of the bottomless abyss. It is very possible that they It's the Plains of Bones. ”
Gavin’s guess is not bold, but the possibility is very high.
Because those hags have a very close relationship with demons and demons, the night hags are even more famous. A soul dealer who often takes the souls he harvests from the material plane to sell in the abyss or the nine hells
Many of them have even transformed into devils. Whether it is the power of the abyss or hell, they may borrow it. The bone claws are their exclusive product. The real secret of their creation is likely to be related to the power of the abyss or hell.
“If it’s a bone claw, that would be easy. We have eight of them in the manor, let’s just try to purify one of them. "Daphne suggested enthusiastically.
The bone claws of Weizeme Manor were naturally captured from the hags in the Far Sea Swamp during the battle in the goblin wilderness.
They are the main ace in the hands of the hags in the distant sea swamp.
This is not the case in Weizeme Manor. They are mid-range thugs at best. Not to mention those night shadows, even many real shadows are stronger than them.
Now that there are violent winds, their ranking is even lower, directly reduced to the middle and low-end, and they will not be easily dispatched unless there are special occasions. "You can try this." Without saying a word, Gavin directly summoned a Boneclaw from the Vizeme Manor, wrapping it in bright white light.
"Ah... Master, please spare my life..." The bone claw, who was in a dazed state, screamed and begged for mercy.
They belong to a kind of intelligent undead, and their wisdom is not low.
Even undead creatures have a survival instinct.
"Stop!" Gavin directly used his absolute control ability to limit the opponent's speech ability.
Although the other party possesses high intelligence, he has never treated them as real subjects.
Putting aside the sins they bear, if they were not restrained and suppressed by the Vizeme Manor, they would bring death and killing wherever they went.
Weizeme Manor is a special prison used to imprison various war prisoners, especially the souls harvested by war plunderers. This effect will be more obvious after they need to be divided 50-50 with Ms. Strategy. .
The souls sent to Ms. Strategy should be kind or relatively innocent souls as much as possible.
Those guilty souls will remain in Gavin's hands, undergo labor reform, and serve in another way.
Daphne, who was in the same situation, did not feel sad about the death of a rabbit or a fox. Instead, she stared unblinkingly at the bone claws that melted into a ball of light while destroying the evil, as if she were looking at a supreme delicacy.
All the undead couldn't help but take a step back, looking at the burning white light, their eyes filled with deep awe.
Especially the Lizard Queen, who was eating bones all over the world, was even more shocked, and her originally nonchalant expression suddenly calmed down.
Her unscrupulousness is based on the premise that Gavin has no way to cause more serious harm to her.
Now it is discovered that Gavin has a more cruel method, which can directly refine her soul and extract her abilities. Of course, he can no longer seek death indefinitely.
The ability to destroy evil is obviously linked to Gavin's own strength. The stronger his ability, the stronger the power of this ability, which is directly reflected in the refining time.
Refining an intelligent undead soul that had just entered the transcendent realm was effortless for Gavin now, taking only a dozen seconds.
“It seems that I have underestimated this kind of manipulation ability. This bone claw body does contain the same demonic power as the Death Patroller, but relatively speaking, it is too meager. It is probably only Slightly strengthen your skeletal sensing and micro-manipulation, and basically reach the level of manipulation. Accurate, even if the amount is accumulated, it is difficult to activate this ability.”
After starting with the Bone Claw Essence, Gavin already made a basic assessment. In terms of size, the Bone Claw is different from the Death Patroller. More than ten times, the latter's purifying essence is as big as a basketball, while the former barely reaches a ping pong ball.
Some things are determined by quantity.
It is absolutely impossible to activate a control system ability with this small amount, even if it is secondary.
After Gavin finished his evaluation, he threw it directly to Daphne.
"Something is better than nothing." Daphne took it with a look of joy and crushed it into pieces. The purest power immediately merged into her body.
The wonderful feeling of pure power made her tremble uncontrollably for a few seconds. After just one time, she fell in love with this feeling.
When the power is completely integrated with her own, Daphne will immediately share the new abilities she has formed with Gavin.
Claw extension (spell-like ability) - When you use this ability, your hands will transform into three-fingered claws with the same bone claws. You can control its length as you like (2) Between ten centimeters and six meters), the duration is Charisma modifier/second, and can be used once per day.
This is Bone Claw's signature skill.
It seems a bit of a loss to exchange an extraordinary unit for a high-end unit with such a spell-like ability.
After all, the bone claw has no duration limit, and you can use this ability at will.
And for a spell caster, this ability is not very practical. Firstly, they rarely have opportunities for close combat. Secondly, when using this ability, it will become an obstacle to casting. The bone claws on the fingers are not convenient for casting spells, especially those that require hand gestures.
Daphne said with some excitement: "Lord, continue, continue, continue to purify other bone claws. I can have a magical feeling about bones that I didn't have before. I seem to be able to evaluate those bones with excellent quality. It’s bad, it’s just that the reinforcement is too weak, let’s see if we can accumulate it.”
Gavin did it without thinking, treating it as a special experiment. He also wanted to see what unique effects would be produced by absorbing too much of the same purifying essence.
Soon the remaining bone claws were absorbed by him one after another.
When absorbing the second bone claw, Daphne did not generate new abilities, but continued to strengthen the ability to extend the claws. The power did not change much, but the number of uses per day increased by two. Second-rate.
The same is true when absorbing the third place. The number of times Daphne can use this ability increases to five times a day.
It wasn’t until fourth place that there was a qualitative change and a new ability was derived.
As a result of the secondary bone strengthening, Daphne's strength and physique have been slightly strengthened at the same time.
The meaning of this is self-evident. The bone claw essence does indeed contain the power to manipulate bones, but this power is too weak compared to the Death Patroller, even if it is four There is no way to compare with a death hunter. It can only activate one of the abilities, which is still relatively weak. It is mainly used to strengthen itself.
After seeing that the accumulation would indeed lead to qualitative changes, both Gavin and Daphne became energetic and began to look forward to the fifth enhancement.
In Faerûn, there is an unspoken rule that no one can do more than five things.
Five is a limiting number.
There are five levels of magic equipment, with +5 being the top level.
More than that, it is not ordinary magic equipment, it is either legendary equipment or artifact. Although it will extend the level of using magic equipment, it represents another different rule, and the limit is +10.
The same method of strengthening attributes can only be improved by five points. For example, the wish spell can only strengthen the same attribute five times, and another example is using divinity to strengthen attributes, etc.
This kind of soul strengthening should be no exception.
Sure enough, as the last bone claw essence entered Daphne's body, even outsiders could clearly feel her changes.
This change is from the inside out, and the bones and flesh are undergoing subtle adjustments. The exposed parts show clear muscle outlines, giving people a sense of perfect harmony beyond imagination.
Her whole person bloomed with an extraordinary charm, like a sparkling black pearl.
Profane Strength (Ex) - The owner gains additional hit points equal to Charisma modifier * Hit Dice.
Seeing this ability, not to mention Daphne who shouted that she had made a profit, even Gavin became energetic.
Because this ability is not only useful for Daphne, but also for all high-charisma professionals, including Gavin.
Take Daphne as an example. Charm is her main attribute, which is as high as 25 points. She has 18 professional levels. This alone can provide her with 126 points of extra vitality, which directly increases her The vitality is more than doubled, especially in the spiritual state.
At that time, there was no physical attribute and no additional physical bonus. Daphne only had 76 (18D8) points of vitality. Now it has directly increased to 202 points. This vitality can crush barbarians of the same level. Just humans and warriors - no equipment bonuses or special abilities added.
Gavin's charm value is not much inferior to Daphne's. If this ability is turned on, it will be enough to gain hundreds of extra vitality blessings.
No one thinks that his vitality is higher and his body is stronger.
