442. Spirit Sacrifice
"Is this how Rhode does business?"
Sulu was watching everything through the Eye of Mango, felt an urge to cover his eyes as he witnessed this scene.
"He has absolutely no negotiation skills, all he does is swing his fists... Well, if it weren't for his unique supply channels and monopolistic business, he probably would have gone bankrupt..."
"Furthermore... this deal is far too risky. I saw obvious Greed in the Crow's eyes..."
Clearly, the wealth that Rhode brought was enough for the other party to overstep certain rules.
What does it matter if the benefits are enough, trampling on the rules?
Sulu didn't go over directly; he wanted to see what the other party planned to do.
Somewhat to his surprise, Rhode returned to the hotel safely.
'It seems... the other side intends to track him down, in the wild, perhaps even to Rhode lair, and then eliminate him?'
Sulu stood up, and soon after, he heard a knock on the door.
"Sulu, I have obtained the materials you needed."
Rhode burst in with a hint of delight, taking out a piece of material that resembled black crystal, with faint flames rising from its center. "The most important Black Flame Crystal!"
"OK."
Sulu took it, feeling like a pillow had been delivered to someone who was already sleepy.
Once that Crow makes its move, it will likely be a completely different matter from Rhode's previous minor skirmishes.
Without a fifth-tier expert, it really wouldn't be possible to control them.
More importantly, it's best not to reveal your [Planeswalker] abilities.
With this crystal, I can try to become the [Eclipse Mage] tonight! And complete my second identity!
"So, wouldn't you say the other side shot themselves in the foot?"
After seeing Rhode off, Sulu sat cross-legged, holding the Black Flame Crystal in his hand.
He scanned the Attribute Panel again, and after confirming there weren't many problems, his expression turned slightly serious. "Let's begin!"
A wisp of black flame appeared in the center of his palm.
This is Erosion Fire!
Black flames slowly coiled and covered the entire piece of Black Flame Crystal.
Although it was burning continuously, strangely enough, the surrounding temperature did not rise at all.
Time passed, and the incredibly hard Black Flame Crystal finally showed signs of melting.
Drops of black liquid fell down, turning into black threads that seeped into Sulu's body.
"Hmm..."
Sulu groaned, "As expected... body modification is the most painful, but it's still a little less painful than the Dragon Blood Baptism."
Thin strands of black thread seeped into his body, outlining mysterious black symbols.
If he enters [Planeswalker] form, he will find that the location of these symbols just avoids the Void Rune, the two are clearly distinct yet have a mysterious connection.
It was past midnight.
The Black Flame Crystal in Sulu's hand had completely disappeared, replaced by a layer of black runes on his body.
"This feeling... seems to have a stronger attraction to dark elements!"
His Inspiration swept over every part of his body, and he took a deep breath. "Advance to [Eclipse Mage]!"
The light screen on the Attribute Panel changes, and a large amount of information appears:
[Job Requirements 1: Prerequisite profession: Black-Robed Mage! (Meets requirements)]
[Job Requirements 2: Physical Fitness 8.0, Mental Fitness 10.0 (Meets Requirements)]
[Job Requirements 3: Dark Affinity LV8! (Meets requirements)]
[Job Requirements 4: Ritual of Erosion (Completed)]
[All prerequisites have been met. 10,000 experience points have been consumed. Advancement to Eclipse Mage!]
In that instant, Sulu felt as if his body had become transparent.
Countless black lines surged, absorbing the dark power of the world, forming a black flame on his chest.
This is Erosion Fire condensed to its extreme!
The essence of the [Eclipse Mage] is to create a completely new spellcasting system centered around Erosion Fire!
But at that moment, Sulu's expression changed.
A purple halo appeared between his brows, and he unconsciously entered [Planeswalker] form!
"You can't just take on side jobs randomly, otherwise you'll run into rule conflicts. At best, it'll cut off your future prospects; at worst, it could lead to your death!"
Sulu's expression was solemn as he released the restrictions on the energy within his body, giving off a sense of letting things take their natural course.
Since [Eclipse Mage] can be used together with [Planeswalker] as a prerequisite for [Spirit Mage], there is naturally no conflict between them.
On his body, Void Rune and black runes flickered, seemingly complementing and connecting with each other.
Not only that.
The core of the Erosion Fire continued to rise, reaching his brow and merging with the Planeswalker Heart!
Around the purple halo, black flame patterns gradually appeared, making it look like a blazing, deep purple Solar Corona.
Sulu's purple-gold robe now features dark gold patterns, making it appear even more elegant and luxurious.
After the Heart of the [Planeswalker] stabilized, the Attribute Panel notifications appeared one after another:
[Ding! Job offer successful!]
[Joined the Eclipse Mage! Spirit +3, Agility +2, Strength +2, Constitution +2!]
[Dark Affinity LV8 has reached the passive level limit and is beginning to sublimate... Detected that the prerequisite class Eclipse Mage. Condition met. Passive skill is now transformed into Domain of Darkness. Current level: LV1!]
"The Domain of Darkness? It feels a bit like a mythical realm... Indeed, every profession is not to be underestimated. This feeling of completely controlling the dark power of an area... If there were any dark magic users like the [Black-Robed Mage] in front of me, I could probably make them die a gruesome death with a single thought."
Sulu carefully examined the Attribute Panel: "The legendary-level transcendent Baptism is a very worthwhile increase in attributes... Unfortunately, I can't just randomly take on multiple jobs, or I'll be courting death."
Career conflicts are no laughing matter.
"Now, I'm a dual- Legendary Professional! Tier 6 is just around the corner!"
He excitedly pulled up the job requirements for [Spirit Mage]:
[Tier 6 Class Information - Spirit Mage!]
[Job Requirements 1: Prerequisite jobs: Planeswalker, Eclipse Mage!]
[Job Requirements 2: Strength 20.0, Agility 20.0, Constitution 20.0, Spirit 30.0]
[Job Requirements 3: Dream Sealing LV8, Domain of Darkness LV4, Spirit World Travel LV3, Void Constitution LV3]
[Job Requirements 4: ' Spirit Sacrifice ' Ritual, specific requirements: In an environment of Spirit Tide revival, gather at least 9999 Wisdom beings to perform a sacrifice to the vast Ancient Spirit World...]
[Job Requirements 5: Consume 100,000 experience points!]
This was content that Sulu had already seen, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"The attribute requirements for [Spirit Mage] are slightly lower, but the passive skill requirements are higher. Fortunately, these can all be addressed with experience points. The only problem lies in the ' Spirit Sacrifice ' ritual!"
Clearly, this ritual would be very difficult to perform in the Main World.
Or rather, he's bound to be discovered as soon as he makes a move, attracting a lot of attention.
