Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Talent · Crimson Ancestor
?
"I almost didn''t make it, thankfully, my Crimson Meditation Method was sound; otherwise, I would have truly been doomed," Qin Muye said, his tone tinged with trepidation. He had spent a great deal of time modifying and assimilating the Crimson Source, even cultivating a special fusion medium using his own flesh with the flesh technology from the ''Book of the Gospel'' so that flesh could interfere with energy, which finally enabled it to integrate completely into his body.
As a result, he had also acquired a Lord Talent.
[Crimson Ancestor: Increase in Crimson Element Rank +1, Land''s Crimson Element Adaptability +1]
That is to say, he had become a humanoid Crimson Element. This affected not only him but also his territory, and this was just the initial version; it could still be enhanced further. Integration happened, but he had to rely on himself for development. Of course, forming a Lord Talent had its benefits, such as being able to enhance the Talent later on.
"But it''s a bit of a loss, as I have lost a whole bunch of skills and magic."
Because, fundamentally, becoming the Crimson Ancestor meant that his elemental magic had transformed into Crimson Magic. Furthermore, due to the inherent repulsion of the Crimson itself towards elements, divine powers, magic powers, etc., all related skills and magic had vanished.
For instance, Basic Fire System Understanding, Basic Nature Understanding, and so on.
However, skills like Mysticism and Wisdom skill had not disappeared and still existed, which Qin Muye found somewhat baffling.
While skills had disappeared, it wasn''t without compensation; Qin Muye had acquired Expert Level Crimson Understanding and Expert Level Crimson Mastery.
[Expert Level Crimson Understanding: +4 to the power of Crimson System Magic, -4 consumption]
[Expert Level Crimson Mastery: +20% to the effects of Crimson System Magic]
At the same time, only two items remained on his magic panel: his Intelligent Magic-Magic Net, and Crimson Magic-Magic Divine Arrow.
Yes, that was the magic that belonged to every category.
[Level 1 Crimson Magic]
[Magic Divine Arrow: Causes damage of (Strength x Crimson Rank x 14) + 14, consumption: 1 Magic Value]
Now with the attribute of Crimson Rank, even the Magic Divine Arrow formula had expanded. Though currently, his Rank was still 1, it had the potential to grow.
"Although it''s gone from ''Lord Era,'' I still remember how to release magic," Qin Muye pondered a moment, then tried to release a healing spell using magic.
Crimson Magic flowed, transforming into a red ocean that flowed out and instantly formed a huge red crystal.
And even his own body was soon covered with these red crystals. However, quickly, crimson stripes emerged on his epidermis, absorbing all the red crystals.
"The different natures of elements lead to different effects from the same magic, it''s vexing..."
Qin Muye was somewhat exasperated; Healing was a magic produced using magic power and the Water Element, but now it was different. Due to becoming the Crimson Ancestor and the unique nature of the Crimson Element, Healing had turned into something deleterious.
But there were advantages too; at least, he could easily control the entire Crimson Element, and he would never lack raw materials for Crimson Invasion in the future. He could achieve whatever concentration he wished.
And if he could increase the Crimson resistance of the spirit monsters under him a bit more, they could completely utilize Crimson Crystal products, which were devastating against magic.
With such a deadly weapon in hand, anyone challenging him would have to think twice.
"Damn, just thinking about this feels like a huge loss. If those ten days were spent researching something else, perhaps my territory could have reached a new level," Qin Muye murmured irritably. If it weren''t for the forced situation, he wouldn''t have turned to study these things
so quickly.
You should know that among the knowledge he brought back from Wen Country, there was information about nuclear weapons. If he could get the entire territory''s industry going, nuclear radiation wouldn''t be cheaper than a Crimson Invasion, nor would he need to convert to cultivating Crimson and turn himself into a Crimson Ancestor.
But there were benefits to this approach, at least... he now had the power to protect himself, the kind that didn''t require self-destruction.
After all, the Crimson was extremely powerful, especially since he, as the Crimson Ancestor, had an unprecedented advantage in Crimson Magic.
"The only issue is that the ceiling of this world is a bit too low, with only magic up to level 5; does this mean there will be server merges later?" Qin Muye, who was crafting the Crimson Invasion, couldn''t help but let his imagination run wild.
"If there''s a server merge, could there be cross-server battles?"
"After all, tier 6 is the limit. To reach tier 7, it would take the entire Magic Continent; it''s
unlikely to just stop at tier 7, right?"
Qin Muye felt that it wasn''t time for a reckoning yet.
Just the underhanded tactics played during the first month of the game proved that the "Lord
Era" was no simple matter; otherwise, why would it deliberately provoke conflicts between
lords and natives?
The fact that only a few lords are left today is enough to show its cruelty.
[Magic Scroll Crimson Invasion]
[Magic Level: Forbidden Curse]
[Effect: Causes 10,000 points of Crimson Damage within a 100-kilometer radius, forming a
permanent damage zone where elemental, magic, and divine powers decay and possess expanding properties]
The latest Crimson Invasion is of the Forbidden Curse level, which essentially means it is
above level 5 magic.
After all, the highest magic on the Magic Continent was level 5, and higher levels are designated as Forbidden Curses.
The damage remains the same, but its range has increased and it now has expansive
properties. It is said to be a 100-kilometer radius, but as it disperses over time, it could potentially reach up to 10,000 kilometers.
