Finger of Mind Seal

"Notification: You have consumed 1 Milestone Points to redeem the title ' Rope Master ' and gained its effects..."

"Eightfold Chains: Your eight main chains can now make slight bends!"

"Hey..."

"This title is quite useful!"

See here.

Roger smiled knowingly.

He wasn't interested in collar enthusiasts or anything like that.

Only this kind of tangible enhancement can make him feel happy and fulfilled!

It seems to be in the system's definition.

The air column derived from the Eightfold Chains is also a rope in a certain sense.

This will naturally allow you to enjoy the title's effects.

However, on the other hand...

Compared to the titles awarded by the Milestone System.

Roger was more concerned with the effects of charisma and the special abilities it rewarded.

"Heavenly Grace".

The former is terrifying enough to be felt from the description alone.

Although Martial Artist also have a need for charisma.

But it is truly rare for someone like Roger to elevate a non-major attribute to such an extraordinary level.

Fortunately, his own strength was already strong enough.

Otherwise, such beauty would cause a huge uproar wherever she is.

On the Nine Great Planets with an open atmosphere.

The story of "beautiful women causing trouble" obviously doesn't only happen to women.

but.

From another perspective.

Good-looking people naturally have a huge advantage.

Roger believed that after possessing extraordinary charisma...

His "deception" skills are probably going to get him fired.

Just as the effect description says.

He doesn't need to lie to you.

Everyone lies to themselves.

All of these conclusions were reached by Roger himself after he couldn't help but look in the mirror for 30 minutes.

final.

With immense perseverance, he reluctantly discarded the mirror.

But then I recalled the face I had just seen in the mirror.

A slight ripple still stirred in his heart. "I'm so handsome!"

If improving one's appearance is the most direct manifestation of extraordinary charm...

The "Warlock" profession, which involves passive part-time work, is yet another example of how charismatic individuals are treated kindly by the World Will.

That said.

The Warlock class.

No effort or sacrifice is required.

All you need to do is look good to become very strong!

She's good-looking.

She's incredibly charming.

It doesn't matter if you spend all your time eating, drinking, and idling around.

Transcendent Energy will occasionally surge from your veins.

These Transcendent Energy are called "Spell-like Abilities.

They possess effects comparable to magic.

However, it requires no learning or effort.

The only drawback is that the acquisition method is not very stable.

You might not awaken a Spell-like Abilities for a very long time.

He might have just taken a nap.

I awoke to find myself extraordinary.

Meanwhile, a whole page of available spells appeared in his mind.

In conclusion.

The deviation value for this profession is ridiculously high.

certainly.

A warlock's potential is determined by the maximum potential of their bloodline power.

It is also closely related to the charm attribute.

And once your power approaches this limit.

Then your career development in this field has pretty much come to an end.

Objectively speaking...

Most warlocks are unable to consistently increase their charisma.

After all, this world doesn't have makeup, beauty filters, plastic surgery, or Photoshop.

therefore.

The typical behavior of warlocks is to live a life of idleness and complacency after awakening.

despite this.

Thanks to her extraordinary charm.

The lives of powerful warlocks are usually quite remarkable.

The prerequisite is not to be born into a place like Mystra, where even civilizations struggle to survive.

Roger's journey.

I didn't encounter many warlocks.

He probably died while just waiting to die.

There's really nothing we can do about it.

In summary.

Warlocks are not suitable for Mystra.

But it's perfect for Roger!

Because Roger was different from other sorcerers.

His ceiling...

Extremely high! It depends solely on the types and numbers of monsters on the Nine Great Planets! There seems to be no end in sight.

And as a Longevity Species.

He has ample time to accept and process the goodwill from the World Will.

Thus, various Spell-like Abilities were continuously unearthed from the bloodline.

"Mass Animated Rope" is just the first one.

But it certainly won't be the last one.

"No learning curve required..."

"You can master Spell-like Abilities even while AFK (away from keyboard)."

"This is absolutely perfect for a busy person like me!"

Roger stared at the "Heavenly Grace" column for a long time.

My heart is filled with a sense of satisfaction.

He enjoys the feeling of getting stronger every day.

Even if it's just a little bit stronger each day.

It can also bring him immense pleasure! "Mmm."

"I'm in a good mood today."

"Why not become a little stronger..."

Thinking this way.

Roger returned to the basic Attributes Panel.

They quickly got to work.

This time, he wants to improve his intelligence, one of his innate talents!...

"Notification: You have consumed 12 points of talent."

"Ascension Road: Your Intelligence has reached 25 points, and you have completed your Attribute Ascension."

"You have gained authority: Intelligence."

"Intelligence Authority: You have mastered a very small number of intellectual laws, and you can choose a rank in the relevant field of intelligence and promote it;

You get the highest correction factor in all judgments involving intelligence;

The power of all spells you possess is increased by 100%;

(Hint: You do not possess any magic)...

Your casting speed is increased by 300% when channeling spell scrolls or Spell Book;

Your focus increases by 50%;

You have gained one 'Deep Appraisal of Magical Items' per day;...

"You have acquired the upgraded Intellectual Bonus Feat - Mind Torrent".

"Mind Flow: Within 24 hours of activation, your Aether supply increases by 100% and your Spell Slot slots double;...

Restriction: 14 days/time

"Note: You have no Ether or Spell Slot. This feat is ineffective. Do you wish to convert it to an effective feat?"

Roger chose no.

Although he is not a mage yet.

But regardless of whether it is the "Endless Magic Net" that is about to be completed.

Even the Little Jade Phoenix about to hatch in Kuinan can grant him the identity of a mage.

The effect of this specialty is quite simple, direct, and powerful.

From a long-term perspective.

It's a better choice to keep it and let it gather dust.

"Ascension Road: You have gained an additional perk granted by the Intelligence Authority - Finger of Mind Seal"

"Finger of Mind Seal: Law and Decree System Magic".

Lose a portion of your own intelligence.

Use a precise finger strike to target the enemy unit.

This will lock out more of the target unit's intelligence.

Duration: 1 hour.

Under the condition that the difference in ring number does not exceed 4 rings.

For every 1 point of intelligence lost, 10 points of the target's intelligence will be locked;...

Note 1: There is a low probability that the target will be exempted;...

Note 2: This feat will remain active even if the user's Intelligence drops by 25 points due to using ' Finger of Mind Seal ', until the Intelligence drops below 20 points, at which point the feat will disappear;...

Restriction: Once every 7 days

"What a ruthless skill!"

I carefully read the detailed description of "Finger of Mind Seal".

Roger couldn't help but beam with pride! This specialty...

Isn't this targeting mages too much?

Theoretically speaking.

Let's assume the opponent is a super mage with 25 intelligence.

Roger only needs to pay the price of 3 points of intelligence.

There's a chance to lock his intelligence down to 5 points! And what does 5 points of intelligence mean? Even if the other party was once a genius mage.

After being banned from using his intelligence.

They might even be reduced to a point where they can't even trigger spell items or spell scrolls! As for casting spells...

Stop joking.

With 5 points of intelligence, one cannot perceive the existence of ether at all.

on the contrary.

This group of people with low intelligence will also be hated and ostracized by the ether! They will be maliciously attacked by the elements even when walking in areas with a high density of ether!

"In other words."

"As long as I have enough intelligence points or talent points..."

"Single-target mages are just toys to me."

"Provided that no exemption is granted..."

"Well, this is a low-probability event, it's not a big problem."

Roger's heart pounded with excitement as he thought about it.

This specialization adds another significant advantage to his potential battle with Vilan!

As long as we can successfully seal his intelligence.

For the remaining hour, wouldn't he be free to do whatever he wanted?

Gradually.

Roger was increasingly looking forward to the clash with Vilan!

He couldn't help but glance at the horizon.

After the complete annihilation of the six Sky Islands.

The Evil Shadow City, which stood between the two continents, also disappeared.

Vilan must know what's happening on this continent.

Next.

It all depends on how the other party responds.

Thinking about this...

Roger's heart gradually calmed down.

The emergence of this expertise also foreshadows a new trend—

In the future.

Attribute Points may also become a consumable item!

He needs to collect more attribute fragments! He glanced at the Ascension Mission.

Roger's fighting spirit burned intensely! He clenched his fists.

A surge of fighting spirit welled up within me:

"Evil Shadow City! Black Blood Soldier! Vilan!"

Even if you don't come looking for me, I'm still coming to find you!

but.

Now is not the time.

After intelligence is upgraded.

Roger's nine-sided plan was beginning to take shape.

Five of the corners have protruded very sharply.

The remaining four attributes still need to be improved.

And at this point...

The inventory of the spoils is finally coming to an end.

Cindy presented the "battlefield cleanup report" that she had written at great speed.

Roger quickly read it through.

I had a general idea in mind.

The biggest gain from this battle was the Sun Fragment.

The underlings obtained 67 Sun Fragment of varying sizes from the people of Evil Shadow City.

In addition to the 7 that Roger had acquired himself earlier.

The number of 74 pieces already far exceeds the Sea Serpent Queen's requirement of 30 pieces.

He pondered for a moment.

They picked out 30 of the smallest ones from the pile of Sun Fragment.

He naturally kept the rest for himself.

This thing is recorded in the "Great Ascension Method".

Roger plans to use them to practice after he gets promoted.

Let's see if we can actually create a "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover".

Besides the Sun Fragment.

I also obtained quite a bit of Ruin Crystal Liquid.

It looks like there's a small bucket.

Specifically, this is equivalent to how many Primal Stone.

Further calculations are needed.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Put down the report.

Roger nodded slightly to Cindy.

Then he ordered everyone to stop working.

Immediately afterwards.

He then walked deeper into the swamp.

However, they didn't get very far.

Roger suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He suddenly looked towards a mountain range not far away:

"Huh?"

"Where is the aura of those two fairies?"

"How could it just disappear?"

Roger hesitated for a moment.

He still had some impression of those two fairies.

If it were a normal time...

Roger wouldn't mind talking to them a bit more.

The main purpose was to gain a deeper understanding of the situation in the Southern Continent.

This was helpful for the subsequent migration of the Clear Spring Sect.

It's a pity.

These are extraordinary times.

Roger's time was extremely valuable.

As for the fairy girl Aike's request.

Roger could only say that there was nothing he could do to help.

He actually admired Aike's courage.

But fairies can't practice martial arts!

Roger had used his Qi Divination Technique to investigate.

She has no Qi Aperture at all! This is even worse than what Martial Artist refer to as "completely ignorant".

Such congenital deficiencies are very difficult to compensate for.

Roger couldn't just carve a hole out of her, could he? Besides...

Fairies are natural elements.

They are actually variants of elemental organisms.

Therefore, they possess an exceptional talent for magic.

Instead of pursuing the path of a mage, he chose to learn martial arts.

Ultimately, it will definitely be a losing proposition.

So Roger rejected her outright.

As for that last sentence...

It did indeed carry a sense of testing.

Clear Spring Mountain currently has no fixed location.

It was not easy for the fairy girl to find it.

Ji Qiu is also the vice elder of the Clear Spring Sect.

How easy is it for an ordinary person to meet him?

This is a form of persuasion to withdraw.

This is also a test.

That's what Roger thought.

If this girl really finds Ji Qiu.

Then let her get started!

"Ji Qiu has been wandering around for so many years without a disciple. It's time to find him a successor."

"His cultivation of the Four Symbols Style is closely related to the elements, so he might actually be able to train a demon Martial Artist."

"As for the problem of not having Qi Aperture... well, he's not my disciple anyway, let Ji Qiu worry about it!"

The above is a summary of Roger's entire thought process at that time.

Simple.

simple.

Not a trace of malice.

It's truly all for the sake of the sect's legacy!...

"Forget it, everyone has their own fate, and I can't control that."

Roger slowly turned his gaze away from the direction of the mountains.

He walked forward for a while.

A familiar and strong aroma wafted over.

Roger's face beamed with a happy smile.

That is...

The smell of the Mud Monster Nest!

Hint: You have discovered a large number of ' Fluffy Mud Monster '

"Warning: The Fallen Plane is about to enter its first 'Long Night' since its birth. During this long night, there is a certain chance of a ' Genesis Event ' occurring. Please be fully prepared!"

In an instant.

The spine in the sky trembled violently.

Darkness began to creep downwards from the sky.

It was as if a basin of ink had been poured down from the top of the Fallen Plane.

It gradually permeated every inch of the space!

at the same time.

The temperature began to drop sharply! Cold frost began to condense on the ground.

"Waaaaah!"

At that very moment.

Roger heard the mud monsters making sounds filled with fear!

"Broken!"

"My good brother is afraid of the cold!"

"I need to hurry..."

"A long night can lead to many unforeseen events!"

Lost in thought.

He decisively charged into the mud monster's lair! And began to stir up trouble.

And so it was.

The mud monsters screamed even louder.

And beneath the sky.

Beyond the horizon.

Darkness surged in like a tide.

Ultimately, it submerged the entire Fallen Plane.

This is the first long night in this new world.

But it is an eternal night for many living beings.

Darkness descends.

The other side of the Swamp Land.

A lone shadow was wandering quickly.

She drifted along.

A panicked muttering to himself:

"I really can't find anyone!"

"That monster wiped out all the humanoid creatures on this continent. You can't expect me to lie to that monster, can you? No, no, no, I can't, I can't... He's too scary, waaaaah..."

"Stop hitting..."

"I know, I'll go see farther places, kind adult, please don't hit me anymore, waaaaah..."

It was a little girl wearing a floral dress.

Accompanied by her muttering to herself.

On her white, lotus-like forearms.

Bruises were faintly visible.

She cried for a while.

Suddenly, he fell silent.

The next second.

She quickly wiped away all her tears.

Look towards a newly appeared Teleportation Gate not far away.

Inside the Teleportation Gate.

A tall, imposing middle-aged man walked out.

The man was radiating four colors of light.

In this pitch-black Fallen Plane.

It's ridiculously eye-catching.

As the person walked out of the Teleportation Gate, they were still talking to the little red bird on their shoulder. "Little Red, don't try to persuade me anymore!"

"I can't let the Sect Master the risk alone!"

"Now that everyone has landed safely, it's time for me to fulfill my duties as the deputy sect leader!"

"Risk?"

"Hehe... I, Ji Qiu, am at least Four Symbols Martial Arts Artist who Ascension-grade!"

"Even if there are risks, they are controllable... Damn!"

Why is this place so dark?

Ji Qiu's voice abruptly stopped.

Because a pitiful little girl appeared before him.

The girl covered her eyes with her hands.

I peeked through my fingers at Ji Qiu, who was glowing all over.

Then she uttered a soft and pitiful voice. "Kind uncle..."

Can you help me?

"My brother fell into the swamp..."

Ji Qiu was slightly taken aback.

He instinctively wanted to refuse.

At that very moment.

A tingling, intense sensation surged through his heart.

He was horrified to discover this.

His body was moving uncontrollably towards the Swamp Land! What terrified him even more was...

The four sacred beasts on his shoulders did not stop him.

Instead, they just watched him do it.

Thump! A dozen or so steps later.

Ji Qiu's body was submerged in a patch of soft, muddy mud! He could feel himself falling continuously.

In an instant.

The endless darkness completely swallowed him up!

His consciousness also began to blur.

"No!"

"I need to stay alert!"

Ji Qiu felt a jolt.

He silently recited the secret method of the Four Symbols Style in his heart.

I managed to keep my mind clear.

But my body is still out of control!

He could sense it.

It's still sinking! At this rate.

It's probably going to sink to the bottom of the Fallen Plane!

A few minutes later.

The speed of the fall began to slow down.

Ji Qiu cautiously surveyed her surroundings.

This place seems to be a space at the bottom of a valley.

On both sides are smooth, dark cliffs.

A faint glow emanated from the bottom.

That is...

That's the aura of Martial Artist! "Could it be the Sect Master?"

Ji Qiu was startled.

Upon closer inspection.

But what they saw were strange cages made of white bones! Inside one of the cages...

The brilliance of the air was intense.

She was a woman with a resolute expression!

"The zither!"

Ji Qiu cried out in a trembling voice.

But the other person seemed not to have heard him.

The next second.

Ji Qiu's body fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards.

A massive cage of white bones buried him at the bottom of the valley! After the cage appeared.

Ji Qiu then regained control of her body.

But soon.

He then discovered that his strength had been severely weakened.

He used various methods to strike the bone prison.

But they have never been able to break through this barrier!

"What kind of hellhole is this?"

Ji Qiu calmed down.

He looked around in all directions.

A young and beautiful fairy was imprisoned in the cell next door.

She also seems to be trying to break free from the cage.

It seemed to sense Ji Qiu's gaze.

The Harpy also looked at him.

She looked around for a while.

Then he walked a few steps toward Ji Qiu.

He asked in a low voice:

Were you also lured in by that monster?

"By the way, my name is Aike."

"Who are you...?"

Ji Qiu thought for a moment.

I have decided to answer truthfully:

"My name is Ji Qiu."

"He is a Martial Artist."

Who knew that these words would be so uttered?

The Harpy covered her mouth in surprise and delight:

"Ah?"

"You must be Mr. Ji Qiu? So you're also a powerful Martial Artist?"

"Wait, where's your latex suit?"

This time.

Ji Qiu was completely bewildered.

"What kind of glue, what kind of clothing?"

He asked, puzzled.
