Everything around him fell silent.
The energy storm that was enough to shake the sea and tear the sky apart has subsided, as if it had never existed. The doomsday scene caused by the two stage seven warriors fighting for their lives was now only a mess of ruins and the cold water pouring down from above, gradually filling the deep valley.
Li Wen under Witch State is suspended quietly in mid-air.
"The Final Codex" has disappeared, and the top priority is to count the gains brought by this gamble. Although this promotion was hasty, the changes it brought were extremely significant.
First up is the newly acquired ability, Lament of Paradise.
[Lament of Paradise lv1]
[Twilight-Spell]
[Requires: 50 magic power, casting medium, Pure Tear Drop.]
[Directivity-Quantity 1]
[At the end of paradise, the witch sings an elegy for the lost old world. That song is not for mourning, but for announcing that everything will come to an end.]
[Sing the final lament to a single target, and within the next [ability level x 10] seconds, the target will fall into the "Eternal Silence" state. In the "Eternal Silence" state, the target cannot receive any form of treatment, gain, or purification effect, and all its restorative, defensive abilities or equipment effects will be forced to sleep. After the duration ends, the target will suffer an additional true damage equal to the total damage received during the period [ability level x 15%].]
This is an ability that exists purely to kill a target. Its effect is extremely overbearing, directly cutting off the target's survival and endurance capabilities at a fundamental level. This is undoubtedly a fatal sentence for enemies that rely on strong recovery or solid defense. The high magic power consumption of fifty points and the prerequisites of Pure Tear Drop also highlight its status as a finishing move.
Pure Teardrop is a consumable made of alchemy recorded in "The Final Codex". It can only be used for spell casting. It is very difficult to refine and requires relatively precious materials. Before getting "Emerald Tablet", Li Wen didn't even have the ability to make it.
The original "Poem of Paradise" was also promoted to level two after Li Wen was promoted to "End Chanter".
[Poem of Paradise lv2]
[Twilight-Spell]
[Requires: 5 magic powers, casting medium]
[Range-Diameter 20]
[...]
[The chanting witch's Poem of Paradise will cause one of the following effects (can be specified) on everyone within the range (except yourself): 1 Fool's Praise-... the duration is increased to [ability level x40] seconds; 2 Gift of Temperance-...; 3 Tower's Collapse-... the duration of the negative status is increased to [ability level x7] seconds.]
Both scope and duration have been improved, but the most critical change lies in the words "specifiable". This means that "Poem of Paradise" has transformed from an unstable group control skill into a tactical magic skill that can be used at will according to the battle situation. Whether it is necessary to immobilize, purify or exert multiple controls, Li Wen can accurately achieve the purpose, and its practicality has undergone a qualitative leap.
Then, there is the new trait that replaced "Professional Pickpocket".
[Touch of Wither-Mystery (Purple)-Dusk]
[Everything touched by the witch has no eternal moment.]
[Any of your attacks and damaging spells will add a layer of "Wither" status to the target when it causes damage. In the "Withered" state, the target's physical and spell resistance is reduced by 5%, and all forms of life recovery effects are weakened by 10%, lasting 15 seconds. This effect can stack up to three times.]
This is a perfect passive trait. It can not only weaken the enemy's defense, but also restrain its recovery ability, forming an excellent linkage with Li Wen's existing ability system. Whether it's Prayer Incantation's curse, Spell-less Arc Light's slashing, or Candle of Darkness's range damage, it can steadily superimpose the "withering" effect on the enemy, making the enemy more vulnerable without even realizing it.
Regarding the disappearance of the characteristics of "Professional Pickpocket", Li Wen did not feel the slightest emotion. At today's level of power, that kind of mundane skills have long lost their use. Using an almost obsolete trait in exchange for such a purple trait with endless potential, this deal is a huge profit no matter how you calculate it.
The huge harvest gave her some peace of mind, but there was still no clue to the most critical original text. Poe Drian and Kourt are both dead and soulless. Even if Kourt really knows the whereabouts of the corrupted original book, Li Wen will no longer have any means to obtain information from him.
Is the clue really just cut off?
Li Wen stretched out her hand, and "The Final Codex" quietly appeared in her palm.
Undying Flower swallowed up Remnant Soul of Kourt, and the former itself was "The Final Codex". So, did it also swallow up something that did not belong to it?
She concentrated and tried to communicate with Yuan Dian. Driven by her thoughts, the pages of the book began to turn, and finally stopped on a new page.
The paper on this page presents a dead gray-white color, which is completely different from the texture of other pages in the original book. There were no words on the page, just a vague picture of countless broken bones and dried grave soil. In the center of the picture, a white figure wearing a hood and holding a huge scythe looms, and below the picture, a line of twisted text Gaeum is barely legible:
"The Moment of Falling Souls, Valhalla are at the northernmost end, Undying Flower in the west, and Bone-White Bird in the east. At the Forgotten Kingdom, White Death God are waiting for His coronation..."
Forgotten Kingdom...White Death God...
Li Wen's heart skipped a beat.
"White Death God" is the person in charge of "Path of the Death Soul" under Decay Lineage. The Forgotten Kingdom is the kingdom he established personally in Mortal World. That kingdom has long since disappeared in the long river of time, but there are countless legends about it. The Order of the Exalted Gift that believes in Moon Phase Twin Gods and Dreadful Death Witch, their followers firmly believe that they are descendants of the forgotten kingdom.
Obviously, this is a secret phrase, and its description should be the scene where "White Death God" is crowned.
The clue has been found, Li Wen is very confident about it. "White Death God" as the person in power on the road, his coronation must be related to the original scripture.
But now is not the time to solve the puzzle. She has to find a place to stay first, preferably back to Port Belen. Li Wen glanced at his status bar and saw that the negative effect of [Lost] was still counting down, lasting for a full twenty-three hours.
The effect of getting lost is that you cannot accurately reach the place you want to reach. Under the influence of this state, Li Wen will not only make mistakes when using the displacement ability, but may even make mistakes in the direction, take the wrong road, etc. just when rushing.
It's better to wait until this state disappears first. With this thought in mind, Li Wen chose to exit the game.
