Chapter 98 Practitioner - Xiao En! Reinventing Himself

Bad thing.

It was really blown up!

As soon as Xiao En walked over, he saw the bone staff that had been completely blown off. All the rune engravings on it were destroyed, and the unknown material that served as the carrier of the strange object was also blown into pieces.

The good news is that the extraordinary relics sealed inside are still there, and a trace of the spiritual light of extraordinary essence is still flowing.

——Cursed Staff【Completely Damaged】.

The knowledge in Xiao En's brain flowed out and touched the remaining supernatural essence. All the strange objects in the grotesque kingdom are the embodiment of the supernatural essence, so if those destroyed strange objects are not completely disintegrated, they may still retain some of the supernatural essence that served as the core material during production.

"Knowledge has discovered the essence of evil spirits, which contains the mysterious knowledge of spellcasting and plague."

Knowledge told Xiao En his discovery in an emotionless, cold, mechanical voice.

After completely suppressing the madness of knowledge, it gives people the feeling of a tool with extremely high intelligence.

Xiao En suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and murmured, "That was a close call."

"It's a cursed object from the spirit world."

One is Curse and the other is Pestilence. The former is a curse and the latter is a disease. Both are 4th-level spells. This staff is quite vicious. The magical diseases in the weird kingdom have no incubation period and the symptoms are very serious. They are generally blindness, insanity, rotten fever, hematoma, etc. If you are infected, the impact is very serious.

Xiao En carefully collected the remaining supernatural essence. It was somewhat contaminated and ordinary people might trigger its abilities if they came into contact with it.

——Demon Amulet (Night Witch) [High-level Rare Item].

Among a pile of scattered flesh and blood, Sean found a complete rare object, with a blood-red gem in the center.

No knowledge is required to identify this rare object, Xiao En can identify it by himself, because the Night Witch and the Ghost Queen each have their own unique natal rare objects, which are usually made in the form of gem amulets.

"Demon Amulet (Night Witch): This strange demon amulet can instantly cure the wearer's illness and remove some curses. It also increases the wearer's saving throws by +2 while in possession. A demon that loses the amulet cannot enter the spirit plane until it creates another one.

This amulet can only be used 10 times, and will turn into powder when its power is exhausted."

This is a rare item that must be dropped by night witches and witches. They rely on this amulet to move across dimensions, but it is difficult for others to use its teleportation ability, so it can only be used as a rare item with blessing.

“This thing is very valuable.”

Xiao En put it away and put it close to his body. It is a hot commodity in Abyss City. Although it can only be used ten times, it is worth more than 200 soul stones. If it is used for exchange, at least it can be exchanged for a decent staff. It can be used on all spells that trigger immunity judgments, whether it is an instant death spell or a domination spell, etc., it can enhance the wearer's ability to resist these spells.

It is generally used to save lives and will not be easily sold.

Theoretically, the Demonic Amulet can cure most diseases, and its value in the real world would probably be many times higher.

"Why are there two extraordinary relics?"

"Is that night witch possessed by an evil spirit?"

Xiao En turned over a section of intestines that had been blown into pieces and found a pitch-black diamond-shaped crystal. This was a high-quality soul stone. It was not circulated on the market and its value was difficult to estimate. It could only be dropped by monsters in the spiritual world.

If you make it yourself, you can kill a powerful enemy, use soul stealing or soul trapping to seal its soul into a gem, and you can also get the corresponding soul crystal.

The essence of this thing is soul power, and any spell ritual that requires the payment of soul power can be replaced by it.

If you make a deal with a powerful devil, this thing will work better than anything else.

Sean found three rare items on the Night Wizard's body, including two extraordinary relics, whose value far exceeded any of his previous gains. The Night Wizard's robe should also be a rare item, but it was blown to pieces and not even the scraps could be found.

The last strange item is a small dimensional bag sealed with a secret seal, and Sean still has to figure out how to open it.

It takes a high level of occult knowledge to decipher the arcane sigils of other spellcasters.

"It is indeed the old family."

Finally, we had to deal with the body of the fly man. Although it was stronger than the night witch, its value was far less than that of the night witch. Enemies of the spellcasting system would give double or even triple the loot, and in other places, it was the same level of rewards as challenging dragon creatures.

"Is there only one rare item?"

"Why aren't there even any extraordinary relics?"

Xiao En's brows were furrowed, his eyes turned on the clairvoyance mode, and he carefully searched the enemy's body.

The Old Ones are all very powerful creatures.

It shouldn't be that even the extraordinary relics didn't drop out, but he really didn't find anything. There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, the enemy's extraordinary essence has been transferred.

Usually in this situation, there may be another special equipment - a sealed object!

The old family and the old descendants.

Both of them directly inherited the blood of the Old Ones. Their strength is very strong, but it is mainly concentrated in the lower limit. In terms of the upper limit, they may not be much stronger than human extraordinary people. As long as the Old Ones have reached adulthood, they have at least ten extraordinary levels, which is equivalent to the relics of the third stage of human extraordinary fusion. Under normal circumstances, their extraordinary levels are around fifteen.

Not to mention the descendants of the old days, who were born legendary, born with a hint of laws and divinity, and were at least legendary.

If they are the descendants of the Upper Old Ones, their upper limit is also very high, because some descendants of the Upper Ones are born as demigods, with talents and abilities far exceeding those of mortal races. They are considered the racial template of the [Sons of God].

"The extraordinary essence has indeed been transferred!"

Xiao En saw a trace of contamination. He turned the enemy's body over, took out a dagger and began to cut the monster's body. Its skin and part of its limbs were integrated with the power of the extraordinary relics and had been transformed into a "natural" wonder.

This is a sealed object, an equipment that does not require any processing and can be used directly, but it is often heavily contaminated.

In the real world, sealed objects that can be recast into rare objects have been recast, and those that cannot be recast are sealed. It takes quite amazing mystical knowledge, craftsmanship, alchemical skills, etc. to transform sealed objects into rare objects.

——The remains of the Hidden Walker [Sealed Artifact]? !

Xiao En was unable to identify it passively, and could only actively perform identification techniques, relying on activation knowledge to recognize its abilities.

——"The remains of the Hidden Walker [Sealed Artifact]: The Hidden Walker active in the underground world is a certain old clan, and its remains retain most of the abilities of the Monster Path Shadow Sequence."

"Function 1: Serves as the core material for promotion to high-level wanderers."

"Effect 2: Activate the seal, at the cost of enduring flesh and blood pollution, all of your own extraordinary level is converted into the ability of a wanderer. This conversion is regarded as a branch of the monster path, the shadow sequence, and the highest level cannot exceed the upper limit of the seal itself." (The upper limit is extraordinary level 15.)
"Function 3: As the core material for ritual sacrifice, it can bring down a trace of the will of the old days."

"Sealed Artifact Pollution: When holding this sealed artifact, one's own flesh and blood will gradually become polluted, showing a trace of insect life characteristics. If the pollution is mild, it can be removed through restoration, limited wish, miracle, etc. If the user's flesh and blood is deeply polluted, the racial template will be transformed into insect life, and the life form will be distorted into that of the Old Ones."

[When the racial template is completely transformed, no matter which path the user is a transcendent, they will become a wanderer of the monster path. The remains of the crawler will never be taken off, it has become your new skin. ]

It is indeed a powerful seal!
Xiao En raised his head tiredly, looking at the large piece of strange skin in his hand, and muttered: "Replace professional abilities? You can even change your own promotion path at the cost of complete contamination."

He had no way of estimating the value of this sealed object!

However, in the hands of some people, it can be used as a prop to change the path of promotion, that is, to replace one's original professional ability with the professional ability of a wanderer.

This sealed item is definitely very rare, after all, it is a relic plucked from the body of an old family. "If I equip it, will it be a Transcendent Level 10 Wanderer?"

Xiao En looked at the strange skin in his hand, thought about it and put it away. The way of casting spells is mainly to deal with mental pollution. After using this seal, his flesh and blood and spirit will be polluted. Just thinking about it makes him feel headache.

Blood and flesh contamination often cause physical deformation, which is quite troublesome to deal with.

Powerful sealing objects are all comparable to legendary items. Although the one in his hand is not as good, it should not be far behind.

Xiao En sealed it up separately.

"I can only find a way to get rid of this thing in Abyss City. At least I can exchange it for a powerful high-level rare item."

He simply cleaned up the battlefield and rearranged the magic alert.

Spellcasters must remain vigilant at all times and only fight prepared battles. After all, their physical fitness is far from that of other extraordinary paths.

The skin is crispy, the blood is thin, and it is easy to be killed instantly.

Inside the Eye Demon's lair.

Xiao En opened the notebook on the table and began to record his thoughts and experiences today. Since he wanted to integrate knowledge and action, he had to summarize his own shortcomings.

"A spellcaster's battle is actually a math problem."

“How to deal with the ever-changing and complex external situation with limited resources.”

"The resources in my hands are the mana pool, the spells I master, the rare items I own, etc. A spellcaster must be able to mobilize all the resources he has at any time to deal with emergencies in the outside world."

"If you want to do this well, the first element is to be very clear about your own abilities."

“Complete knowledge of self.”

“Only when I have a clear understanding of my own abilities can I fully mobilize all the resources I have in an emergency.”

"Arcanist?"

“It seemed like a more scientific and appropriate path for me to take.”

"This path of advancement seems to require extremely high rational thinking. As an Earthling, the education I received is very suitable for rational thinking."

"In comparison, the path to advancement for wizards is a bit foolish, just like the word wizard. In ancient times, humans did not understand nature well enough, so they had to rely on the wizard's way to understand all things and ghosts."

“What I want to pursue is to know the reason behind it.”

Who says that the indescribable past cannot be understood in a rational way?
The wizards of the weird kingdom, the mages of the forgotten kingdom, and the arcanists that Sean is now embarking on the path of destiny, these three ways of casting spells all use the same source of power, but the way of mobilizing the power of the laws is completely different.

Wizards rely on living knowledge, mages rely on the Weave of the Forgotten Realms, and arcanists rely entirely on their own abilities.

It's that simple!
Among these three promotion paths, the threshold for becoming an arcanist is the highest, and requires the highest rationality, but the spells mastered are the same, except that the arcanist does not rely on any external objects to master the laws.

If it works, it works; if it doesn’t, it doesn’t; this is the path of the arcanist.

"Because there is no magic network to assist in casting spells, the mage's heritage has been transformed into a wizard's path in the Weird Kingdom?"

"Activated knowledge is a tool that adapts to the laws of distortion and assists in casting spells."

Xiao En felt the vibration of knowledge again.

He stopped writing and found that the extraordinary nature in his brain was undergoing further transformation. Rational thinking was reshaping the extraordinary nature in his brain, transforming the originally chaotic and disordered mysterious knowledge into a gradually orderly mode of operation.

"it works."

"The wizard's transcendental level is being converted into the arcanist's transcendental level."

"Then continue with the research you started with."

"If you use rational thinking to control the original magic power, then you must also use rational thinking to fight."

"The mana pool is the root of everything."

"A spellcaster is not a warrior. A warrior can kill people as long as he has strength, but once a spellcaster has exhausted his mana pool, he will be completely at the mercy of others."

“This is essentially a more efficient allocation of our own resources.”

"To fight in an absolutely rational way, I need to have a strong calculation ability. Just like in previous battles, I hardly considered these things, but everything tonight, every step was calculated in detail by me. I even calculated in advance how to deal with the enemy when the mana pool is exhausted."

"Arcanists don't believe in tears!"

"All battles must be conducted under the control of absolute rationality. My calculation of my own mana pool must be accurate to the level of a level 0 cantrip. Only then can I truly master the combat skills of an arcane master."

"Always make sure you have relatively sufficient resources. In the Weird Country, there are too many emergencies."

"I have the ability to rewind my death to save my life."

"As long as I have the resources to deal with it, there will always be a chance to turn the situation around!"

The knowledge in the brain is trembling slightly.

Xiao En remained unmoved and continued with his research records. Today's battle summary was just the beginning. He would always maintain rational thinking and practice his destiny in his own way, the way of the earthlings.

What Eamon said may not be right.

"Not only do I need to be tempered by battles, I also need a lot of research. Internally, I need to reshape my cognition, analyze myself, and improve my abilities. Externally, I need to hone my skills, understand the world, and acquire more resources."

"Wanting to reshape my spellcasting abilities in the ways of an arcanist."

"I must master most of the mysterious runes in the weird kingdom, and I cannot rely on the knowledge of animation to assist in casting spells."

"Arcanists only believe in their own abilities!"

Brain tremors.

I don’t know how long it took.

When Sean woke up from his meditation, the mysterious knowledge had been further reshaped and had more orderly rules - 2nd level arcanist/3rd level wizard/5th level psion.

The abilities gained from the Wizard Path are being further transformed into the Arcanist Path.

The source of the laws of the transcendental nature is the same.

The biggest difference is the way of using this source law. Xiao En knows that he is on the right track.
