Chapter 264 - Exploring a Shocking New Feature!
[A new form of energy is directly interfering with skills and abilities.]
[Contained. Isolated. Analyzing]
[This..!]
His home world’s core continued to speak in its monotone voice as the cores of the other two worlds continued to speak with more emotions, all three rapidly analyzing this new form of energy given off by the defeat of the Infernals in this First Realm of Hell.
The Infernals existed in the Seven Realms of Hell, with the first one having the lowest levels of Infernals, the place where most of them are newly born.
When the various powers first faced the Infernals, they found to their surprise that the defeat of these beings would grant them boosts in their power, with beings that studied the Laws of different elements finding themselves gaining increased comprehension speed as they progressed much faster.
This same energy that many powerful powers in the universe had come across, Noah was finally coming in contact with it for the first time.
[Isolation and Analysis successful. New form of energy has been broken down and quantified, and will be displayed in the form of numbers under a new feature- Infernal Skill Point(s)]
What?!
To put it in simpler terms, these Infernal Skill Points could be used to enhance the level of power for each of his skills, and once they reached the highest required number, which in the case of SAINT+ skills is 15, he can choose to proceed with the evolution of the skill and by sacrificing two SAINT+ skills and open up the Skill Trees of two possible paths while also allowing the skill to reach the Void Rank. This was different from the usual Skill Combination that took two complementary skills of the same level and simply increased their rank.
In the case of the [Lich Lord of Abomination] skill, after it reached 15/15 Skill Points and he chose two Saint+ skills to sacrifice as the base, it would upgrade the skill and open up two possible directions- one which focused on strengthening the poison aspect, while another direction focused on improving the death aspect of the Lich Lord’s abilities!
Each pathway provided additional abilities that could be unlocked by the Skill Points, and even strengthened to even more powerful levels depending on how many points he placed in one particular ability.
For example, if there was a [Raise Skeleton] ability that allowed one to raise 1 small weak skeleton after placing 1 Skill Point in it, placing another skill point would increase the power and allow you to summon 2 skeletons. Placing another Skill Point would allow you to summon 4 skeletons that would be much stronger than before...and this process just continued until the ability reached the cap of exactly how many Skill Points could be assigned to it.
The more that Noah put this new feature into simpler terms, the more he felt his heartbeat increasing as he came across too many stupendous ways to strengthen himself and his skills to insane degrees through using these Infernal Skill Points.
His attention went towards the Lich Lord of Abomination as he observed it to have grown a few inches bigger, its aura becoming slightly more powerful. This was the result of him placing the 1.6 Skill Points into the skill, the power of the lich becoming even stronger.
The number of <<Infernal Skill Point(s)>> continued to increase in his stat panel as the Lich rained down poisonous death through his Summon Poisonous Totem and even more pain through the undead that were spreading out.
Noah felt a brilliant smile forming in his face as he so quickly wanted to obtain even more Skill Points from these Infernals so he could test the immense boost they would provide when they were focused in one particular direction.
OONG!
His body shone a reddish hue as he activated his Arch Demon Transformation and pulled out the medallion that was connected to the outside world and showed how many Infernals each person had killed. He cut off the signature of ’Crixus’ as he put the medallion in the isolated Spiritual Land, not wanting to scare the watchers outside on how many Infernals he was about to kill. He would reconnect the signature every now and then as time passed so that he could keep his achievements high enough to be able to obtain his goal of the Absolute Space Technique once the events in the First Realm of Hell were over.
His gaze turned voracious as he looked for the two Saint Ranked Infernals that were throwing powerful attacks towards the Lich Lord of Abomination that was standing above the Bone Dragon’s head as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke, his targets locked on!
