Giving Specialties Extra Effects?

"Notification: Your Forging Authority Rank stirring..."

"There are such good things?"

Roger's face lit up with joy.

The effects of the Nirvana Magic Crystal are open to interpretation.

If the quantity is sufficient.

And if the devouring effect has no upper limit.

Who knows what kind of hodgepodge weapon he'll come up with!

As it stands now.

The Life Sword in his hand was already showing this tendency—

"Magnetic flux/spectral dispersion/ Formless Sword"

If there are more powerful special effects in the future.

The number of prefixes will naturally increase over time.

"Red Moon is also acceptable."

"With the Ghost King around, even if I don't use it much myself, it can still make good use of the weapon's value..."

"Just be careful not to make the stitching effects conflict with each other..."

Roger became more and more tempted the more he thought about it.

At present.

He quickly put the treasure away.

Then he became even more attentive in burning the Copper Dragon's buttocks.

Whoosh! A wave of heat surged up from beneath the rocky area.

A short while later.

The nearby sand and soil melted into a thick, gelatinous substance.

You can vaguely see a glass-like luster.

Axiya was steaming hot.

She endured the pain.

He closed his eyes and let Roger do whatever he wanted to him.

The Jade Phoenix True Fire is incomparably domineering.

Not long after.

Most of Axiya's tail was burned off!

Those unsightly scales were all reduced to dust.

However, to Roger's disappointment...

In this process.

He did not find a second Nirvana Magic Crystal.

"It seems to be a low-probability, random drop."

Roger thought to himself:

"However, as long as the probability is there Jade Phoenix True Fire is plentiful, it is not difficult to accumulate a batch of Nirvana Magic Crystal."

"In the future, if we encounter highly mutated monsters, their corpses can be turned into treasures."

He wasn't worried about the lack of Jade Phoenix True Fire.

Although my Little Jade Phoenix is still in hibernation.

But it often unintentionally spews out some real fire.

Letting these real fires run rampant would be a waste.

On the contrary, it could become a hidden danger.

Roger has appointed a Dragon Priestess to be in charge of collecting the true fire using a pen holder.

Therefore, there will be no shortage of real fire for the time being.

"However, the collected true fire is ultimately not as pure as the fire exhaled by the Mythical Creature itself."

"When will this little guy wake up?"

"If I can fool people properly, I might be able to get a free flamethrower forever..."

Just as Roger was indulging in his daydreams...

Suddenly, a new activity appeared on the data panel.

He looked closely.

It turns out the Honor Shop for the Advanced Campaign Mode is finally open!

Roger casually glanced through the list.

The number of items available for purchase in Advanced Mode is almost the sum of the previous few times.

All the props that appeared before are included this time.

Some unfamiliar faces also appeared.

For example, Roger recently acquired the "Nature Set".

Here you'll find the pure green "Natural Belt" and "Natural Shoes".

If we can win.

You can then summon a temporary Land Divine Kingdom!

In terms of the domain of authority, it is most likely the "Nature" series.

Although it is not particularly aggressive.

However, it has a wide range of applications.

Roger is someone we absolutely must win over.

However, the items in the high-level honor shop are extremely expensive.

Both green items are priced at over 500,000 points.

Unless Roger can mediate all the fights in this battle.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to accumulate enough Honor Points.

Besides the natural set.

Roger also discovered two promising gadgets in the shop.

The first item was a yellowish-brown stone.

It has concentric arc-shaped patterns on it.

If you stare at those patterns for a long time...

It can even cause slight disorientation and dizziness! It's an extremely rare enchanted item!

"Silent Thunderstone: An enchantment applicable to weapons and armor"

"Purpose: To fuse a designated item with a basic enchantment or a tripartite enchantment, granting it the 'Soul Annihilation' effect."

"Special Effect (Soul Annihilation): Every 10~5 normal attacks."

This weapon can deal 1 point of soul damage to the target;...

Note 1: The number of times a normal attack triggers Soul Annihilation depends on the forging technique and the number of Annihilation Thunderstones.

Note 2: A weapon can be forged from a maximum of 3 Annihilation Thunderstones.

After reading the instructions.

Roger then highlighted this prop.

Faced with an unpopular yet insidious attribute.

The price of 600,000 Honor Points couldn't stop his determination to buy it!

"Soul damage" is an extremely rare and difficult type of damage to inflict.

An ordinary person's soul strength is around 3 points.

The soul strength of an upgraded Divine Kingdom Practitioner is at most around 10 points.

Unlike undead creatures that coalesce into "semi-tangible" forms.

The soul, which is attached to the body, is formless and intangible.

Most living beings find it difficult to defend against or attack the soul.

At most, it can only intimidate and control the soul.

That's already quite remarkable.

As of now.

Roger never encountered anyone who could deliver a blow to his soul! This shows how rare soul-crushing attacks are.

in this case.

If the Annihilation Thunderstone can truly inflict a devastating blow on the enemy's soul.

Its value is simply immeasurable.

You're saying it only triggers once every 10 attempts? That's no big deal for Roger! He can just keep slashing!

Both the Red Moon and the Life Sword.

Roger can now trigger it two or even three times per second! Not to mention...

He doesn't even need soul damage to kill his enemies.

A major success is simply to disrupt the enemy! A person whose soul is wounded will have a clouded mind.

therefore.

Even triggering it just once would be a huge win! "Fusing it into the Life Sword is also an option."

Roger pondered silently.

"The Magnetic Spectroscopic Invisible Thunderstone Stone Sword sounds pretty domineering..."

If the arrival of the Annihilation Thunderstone will once again expand Roger's arsenal of combat methods...

The second item will then provide a powerful boost to his tactics and strategies! (See the shop display.)

It was a cloud of water vapor contained in a clear crystal bottle!...

"The Formless Mist: An ordinary, unremarkable cloud of mist."

Purpose: After casting Formless Mist on the target.

Its surrounding area within a 10-kilometer radius is protected by Formless Mist.

Any prophetic abilities such as divination, prediction, or calculation applied to targets within the Formless Mist.

Users of this ability will unknowingly encounter situations such as misjudgment of information, over-interpretation, logical gaps, and false information gaps.

They may often make judgments that are completely contrary to the facts.

Note: This excludes Celestial God-level prophetic abilities.

You cannot fool the gods.

Price: 1.5 million Honor Points

After reading the description.

I checked the price again.

Roger drooled with envy while grinding his teeth to powder.

It's really expensive! But it's also really useful!

With this thing.

Roger had an almost 100% chance of winning when he was scheming against others.

No more worrying about having too many layers to consider!

Because the enemy will never be able to guess the truth about you!

Don't underestimate the power of information asymmetry.

When everyone is a master.

Even a small misjudgment could cost a life!

Therefore.

Despite Roger getting stronger and stronger.

But he himself has become increasingly cautious.

For example.

When he saw the Formless Mist.

He secretly reminded himself.

In the future, when you divine or observe something that is completely contrary to logic...

You have to consider whether the other party also has a similar "Formless Mist" item!

"There are more and more good things, but why do I feel more and more tired?"

After highlighting the Formless Mist.

Roger began to sigh silently, "In any case, we still need to follow the approach of making bold judgments and verifying them carefully..."

Thinking this way.

He was just about to continue looking through the data column.

But at that very moment...

A weak voice sounded in his ear:

"I..."

"Feel sorry."

"I'm not going to make it..."

Roger was immediately startled.

He immediately looked away from the data panel.

But all that could be seen was an open space in front of the rocky area.

The Jade Phoenix True Fire had already reached the base of Axiya's buttocks.

Her tail had been completely burned to ashes.

The concentration of Aberrant Matter in his body has also been reduced significantly.

The awkward part is...

Unlike Hongye, Axiya herself does not possess extraordinary vitality.

Even more beautiful than red leaves.

He also used years of painstaking effort to burn off the Aberrant Matter.

Roger burned himself to death, which made him feel good.

Incidentally, we can also hope to burn out a second Nirvana Magic Crystal.

But Axiya couldn't take it anymore.

While destroying the Aberrant Matter, the Jade Phoenix True Fire was also destroying her body!

Her health points plummeted.

If only I had spoken a little later.

He might end up on the verge of death!

After clarifying the reasons behind it.

Roger decisively withdrew the Jade Phoenix True Fire.

As for that last little bit...

He retrieved a large handful of ashes from the Jade Phoenix Nest Ashes Field and successfully buried it—

These ashes were born in real fire.

However, it has the effect of extinguishing a small amount of real fire.

This is quite an interesting phenomenon.

After the fire was successfully extinguished.

Axiya let out a long breath.

After a while.

She spoke in a weary voice:

"Thank you."

"The Exorcist".

"But I'm afraid it's too late; my very essence can't withstand this intensity of burning..."

Roger stared quietly at her buttocks.

There.

Beneath the charred, burned marks, a patch of decaying flesh was exposed.

A long time passed.

No new muscle or scales grew back on the burned areas.

This indicates that Axiya was once Wilderness God.

Its fundamental power is already very weak.

Her body has difficulty healing and regenerating quickly.

So she is currently facing a double dilemma—

If the burning continues.

Axiya might be burned alive.

If we stop here.

Based on the degree of distortion and weakness of Axiya.

It is highly likely that it will be completely unable to resist the erosion of distortion.

And then he completely degenerated into a mindless monster!

Both of them were aware of this.

So no one made a sound.

The Copper Dragon was panting and struggling.

Roger, on the other hand, was deep in thought.

Seeking a solution.

He had always had a good impression of the Wilderness God.

Naturally, no one wanted such a self-reliant deity to perish.

However, he didn't have anything on him to replenish his source power.

Including in Quentin's collection.

There was nothing that could help Axiya.

"What about in Secret Vault No. 1?"

Roger suddenly asked, "Did the Red Valley Alchemist leave behind anything that could replenish their source power?"

Axiya shook her head with difficulty:

"No."

"There aren't actually many treasures in Secret Vault No. 1; those demons plundered too many things back then..."

Axiya mentioned those demons.

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

I couldn't help but ask, "Do you know their background?"

Axiya recalled:

"I'm not sure."

"At that time, I had just inherited the title of Dragon Spirit and was not able to help much."

"I only remember that those demons were related to the Rift of the Heavens War —at least some of them participated in the Rift of the Heavens War..."

The Rift of the Heavens War?

Roger was secretly surprised.

Those who participated in the Rift of the Heavens War and have survived to this day.

That would mean he'd be at least a demon lord level being! Based on the Historical Knowledge he'd traced back.

The Abyss suffered heavy losses in the Rift of the Heavens War.

Only 3 of the original 9 demon lords remain.

The remaining six have all honorably joined the Celestial Spoils Exhibition Hall to stand guard.

Even the most powerful Blue Blood King, as recognized, died in battle.

Could it be one of the remaining three Abyss deserters?

"However, the Ancient Desolate Continent and the Rift of the Heavens War are far too intertwined."

He suddenly thought of:

"The Starry Sky God Race was banished after their defeat in the Rift of the Heavens War. This Celestial Gods Race, whether through self-exile or expulsion, is also somewhat related to the Rift of the Heavens War. Now, a group of demons who seem to have participated in the Rift of the Heavens War have emerged..."

It's so confusing! Roger rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

His action was noticed by Axiya.

However, the Copper Dragon misunderstood that she was troubled by her situation.

She said calmly:

"Actually, death is not a bad thing for me."

"Born in the wilderness and dying in the wilderness is an inevitable life journey for a guardian spirit."

"Just don't let me turn into a monster!"

"So—if you still have that fire—please unleash it!"

Although the sound was very faint.

But Axiya's tone was very resolute.

Roger guessed that she had seen the horrific state of some spirits that had fallen into demonic ways.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so resolute.

He pondered for a moment.

He shook his head:

There must be another way.

"Given your current condition, how long can you withstand the Aberrant Matter?"

Axiya hesitated and said:

"Two weeks? One week? I don't know."

"Then let's calculate it based on one week."

Roger decisively said, "If we don't find a solution within a week, then keep burning!"

The Copper Dragon's body trembled slightly.

She seemed to want to say something more.

But seeing Roger's resolute face...

She ultimately acquiesced to his decision.

"That's fine too."

Axiya said in a deep voice:

"If it's convenient, please invite the young chieftain of the Primal Dwarves over."

"I will hand over the Guardian's Mark to you in his presence..."

As he spoke.

She opened her jaw.

With a thud.

Three beams of golden light shot out from deep within her throat! "Is this the Guardian's Mark?"

Roger looked puzzled.

"No..."

"This is a small token of my personal gratitude to you."

Axiya said respectfully:

"If I really die."

"Please also dispose of my remains properly, and bury my remaining wealth and ashes together in any dragon cemetery..."

"I believe in your integrity."

Upon hearing this...

Roger was taken aback at first.

He immediately chuckled to himself.

The dragon's love of money is truly ingrained in its very bones!

They said they would bring out three treasures as a token of gratitude.

Actually, they probably wanted to ensure that the remaining treasures could be buried with them, right? But from this perspective...

This also shows Axiya's determination to die.

Given the suspicious nature of the Copper Dragon.

To entrust such an important matter to Roger is truly remarkable.

This clearly shows how much she trusted him.

Under Axiya's slightly uneasy gaze.

Roger didn't say much.

He simply nodded and put those things away.

The first thing that catches the eye is a mask covered in exaggerated paint.

"Actor's Mask (Upgrade/Mask)"

"Attributes: Intelligence +3 / Performance +200"

"Note: After wearing this item."

The mask will issue you random commands—

1. Tell a joke that isn't funny.

2. Smash something as sturdy as possible...

3. Do something stupid

If you execute it successfully.

You will receive an 'Artistic Rank' (Field of Performance) (Temporary Rank +0.33).

And it will receive the following different upgrades.

...-Gained 'BUFF: Joker'

...-Gained 'BUFF: Domestic Abuser'

...-Gained 'BUFF: Idiot'"

Note: If you are unable to complete the instructions successfully.

You will have 1 point of your base attribute randomly drained! And you will be unable to wear the Actor's Mask for the next 72 hours!

"There's even a punishment?"

Roger raised an eyebrow.

Given the stingy nature of the Copper Dragon.

Did they give us three pieces of junk? Or what?

Is the buff obtained at the cost of punishment extremely powerful?

Thinking this way.

He glanced at the buff bar to check the description.

Joker 1: In non-combat state—

Your every move is deceptive.

You have the ability to make people laugh out loud.

You are always lonely.

In battle—

All your moves and techniques will become invisible.

Your enemy will suddenly freeze in a state of bursting laughter.

In a situation of fighting alone.

Your movement speed is increased by 300%.

..."

"Joker 2: With the simultaneous enhancement of 'artistic status' and 'performance realm'."

You can select a specialty that belongs to you.

Give it the 'Special Effect: Exaggeration'.

'Exaggeration' is a one-time special effect.

This will greatly amplify the effect and impact of this expertise.

Note: Each pair can only be used once.

"Hmm?"

"Isn't this just adding special effects to a specialty?"

Roger couldn't help but fall into deep thought, "I wonder what level the exaggerated ' Ten Years One Sword ' would be?"

"What other skills do you have?"
