265 The Stupendous Skill Points

Outside the flaming gateway of the Door of Hell, various powers stood in their ships as they observed the projection of various names the moment they entered the First Realm of Hell.

It fluctuated rapidly in the beginning, with some names quickly jumping up and only to be replaced a second later as yet another name gained more points. A minute in though, they were able to see a clear name take hold of the number one spot briefly, and even hold on to it for an entire minute.

That name was Crixus, of the Profound Astral Sect!

Elder Baldwin showed extreme elation as he observed his son's name actually occupy the top position among the many geniuses of the surrounding powers, while Elder Spacewarp was just happy that someone from their Sect had been the first to garner the attention of everyone else.

But the name Crixus only remained on top for a minute, before its exponential rise slowed down, and it was soon caught up by powerful and famous names that were well known among the major powers. 

William's name soon came into the picture as Crixus only continued to be pushed further and further down, with the names of powerful disciples of the Magus World, Underworld, and even the elusive group of Pureblood Vampires that had sent in their True Prince were among the powerful names that quickly took and retained the spotlight. 

The name Crixus gradually continued to fall until it moved out of the top 50, with much less attention paid to it now as the beings focused on the changing top 50 ranks as they brought out foods and entertainment around their ships and watched the continuing Infernal Hunt with great interest.

Names rose and fell on the huge projection in space, but neither of them were privy to the massacre of unknown proportions taking place by the same being who had exponentially risen in points just a few minutes prior.

Noah was moving with extreme enthusiasm that he had only felt when he first received the Skill Combination feature. The enthusiasm stemmed from the continuously rising Infernal Skill Points as he killed more and more Infernals. He was able to increase the slow decimal point additions even faster the moment he fully utilized the abilities of the \u003c\u003cAbsolute Sin\u003e\u003e on top of the powerful Lich Lord of Abomination.

What made him amazed was the maddening increase of power in the Lich as he continued to add more Skill Points to the [Lich Lord of Abomination], the counter next to the skill now reading 13/15!

All the other Undead that the Lich Lord summoned were increased in numbers and the power they released until they reached a climax when Noah placed the last Infernal Skill Point that made the skill [Lich Lord of Abomination] reach 15/15!

OOONG

A resonance of essence erupted out as a golden light shone briefly from the Lich and all the undead it was connected to, with Noah observing a second later that every single undead that the Lich had summoned now held powerfully glowing golden weapons on their hands. The Bone Dragon's claws and sharp teeth had a golden sheen as the serrated blades that the Skeleton Warrior and Dullahans carried became beautiful to look at. It was an enormous change that when Noah actually took a step back to measure the level of power that the still Saint+ Lich released from its body, he found it to be infinitely close in power to the next rank, even though he had yet to perform the final advancement!

He took a deep breath as he looked at the remaining number of Infernal Skill Points being no more than 3 as he pulled back and focused on the stat panel, wanting to observe for himself the first opening and activation of a skill tree that only went to further amplify the strength of the selected skill.

SAINT+ [Lich Lord of Abomination] (15/15)- Skill Point requirement met. 0/2 SAINT+ Skills are needed for advancement to either the Miasmatic Poison Lord OR the Abhorred Lich Emperor.

Time seemed to slow down as he increasingly felt the beating of his heart, his mind moving rapidly as it sent a command to use two Saint+ skills that were among the limited few he had raised in his months of time spent in the Time Space of the Spiritual Land 

The requirements were all met as Noah felt a resonance of essence, and a magnificent light erupted out as in front of his eyes, he synthesized his first ever skill of the Void Rank while also opening up a Skill Tree for the first time. Under the [Lich Lord of Abomination], connecting arrows had appeared as the blue panel expanded, showing the skill at the bottom of the screen with a blue arrow pointing towards a brightly shining [Abhorred Lich Emperor] above it!

That's right! He had chosen the skill tree that was geared towards increasing the death aspect of Lich, wanting to see exactly how crazy he could make the summoned undead of this skill.

[Lich Lord of Abomination] (15/15):: Abilities- Summon Poison Totem(0/5), Summon Undead(0/5), Noxious Outburst(0/5), and Dereliction of the Saintly Poison Lord(0/5) \u003e\u003e [Abhorred Lich Emperor](0/30) :: Additional Abilities- Undead Legion(0/5), Will of the Undead Emperor(0/5), and Delay Death(0/5)

[Undead Legion](Passive) (0/5) :: The summon's skill set is expanded as they are able to call upon even more variations of undead, and they become able to store the summoned creatures in an isolated space where they can be released in less than a millisecond. Possible Unlocks: Undead Blue Phoenix, Bone Qilin, Wraith, Specter

[Will of the Undead Emperor](Passive) (0/5) :: +50% to all damage. +50% Death Damage. +50% Poison Damage. +50% Death and Poison Resistance. +1 Summon Limit to all High Level Undead. -15% Skill Energy Cost. 

[Delay Death] (Active)(0/5) :: As long as it is within 10 seconds, the call of death can be delayed. As long as the target is healed of life threatening injuries during this time, they can live on.

A glorious selection of additional abilities that only went on to further increase the power of the summon appeared before Noah's eyes as he quickly honed in on the passive of [Will of the Undead Emperor] to test the stupendous effects of the Skill Points on a skill that provided damage and other types of modifiers. He added a single Skill Point to begin with as he observed the modifiers changing with his own eyes.

[Will of the Undead Emperor](Passive) (1/5) :: +100% to all damage. +100% Death Damage. +100% Poison Damage. +100% Death and Poison Resistance. +2 Summon Limit to all High Level Undead. -30% Skill Energy Cost. 



Every single modifier had effectively doubled with the addition of a single Skill Point! Noah's eyes shone as he added the rest of the remaining skill points and watched the results yet again.

[Will of the Undead Emperor](Passive) (3/5) :: +200% to all damage. +200% Death Damage. +200% Poison Damage. +200% Death and Poison Resistance. +4 Summon Limit to all High Level Undead. -60% Skill Energy Cost. 

A beautiful view of numbers passed through his eyes as he turned his attention to the outside world to observe the stupendous changes of his summon and the crazy rise of power each of its undead received with the [Will of the Undead Emperor].

The sight...left his jaws wide open!
