I am the Scourge

Chapter 127 Soul Mastery
The day is about to break dawn, the blood moon hanging on the dome gradually fades away, leaving only a blurred outline of stars, a hazy halo rises in the distance, and pale mist rises from all around, filling the plain, moistening everything, bringing a touch of light into the bone marrow coolness.

After a night of excavation, three quarters of the ruins have been cleared.

Based on the fact that the total area of ​​the ruins does not exceed one square kilometer, the excavation progress of tens of thousands of slaves should not have been so slow. The main reason is that the battle with the Moon Eye guards delayed most of the time.

The intricate streets in the ruins divide the entire building complex into three rings. Right now, the outer ring area and the middle ring area have been completely cleared.

The outer ring area is dominated by simple block-style buildings, which look like metal cages, but Li Wei discovered that those cage buildings are the places where the Moon Eye guards sleep, so this guess needs to be verified.

The middle ring area of ​​the ruins is mainly covered with a three-story tower-shaped building. At the top of the building is an oval metal sphere with strange patterns of three overlapping rings carved on it, like eyeballs.

When an undead unit steps into the central area, these eyeball towers will be activated, emitting energy beams capable of destroying sixth-tier units. A total of 32 defensive towers are built in a ring, protecting the ruins.

In terms of the architectural strength of the entire ruins, it is basically impossible to destroy these defensive towers from the outside.

It is also difficult to destroy inside. Li Wei has carefully observed that this kind of defense tower has no entrance outside, and it is likely to be built in one piece, controlled by a certain terminal. To close them, you can only find the terminal building.

Fortunately, these towers will only react to undead units.

As long as Li Wei does not die and summons the undead servants near them, he will not be attacked.

However, this also prevented Theodora from entering here temporarily.

She is actually not an undead, but a vampire. Vampires have nothing to do with undead. Speaking of which, she should be considered a demon, but her blood is not that pure.

It stands to reason that Coffin of the Dead, which can only recruit undead units, would never summon her.

But what Li Wei didn't know was that the coffin of the dead was the one where Theodora's predecessor was buried, which led to the first awakening of Theodora who was buried in the coffin after he issued the recruitment order. pull.

She was supposed to be resurrected as an undead, but she still has the blood of the demon killed in the last battle in her body.

That happened to be an evil devil with infinite regeneration ability.

The demon originally wanted to use its unique blood power to transform Theodora, but it didn't want to be killed in the process, causing its blood power to fall silent in Theodora's body.

And after Li Wei awakened her through the coffin of the dead, this blood power was also activated by the system and merged with Theodora's blood, which led to her becoming a unique hybrid demon race.

Not to mention that Li Wei didn't know about this kind of wonderful coincidence, even Theodora herself might not be aware of it. Under the influence of the system, she acquiesced to her resurrected identity, let alone pursue the reason for it.

The center of the ruins is the inner ring area.

Seen from above, there are only three buildings in the inner ring area, which are three towers with different styles.

The most central one has the same shape as the eyeball tower in the Central District. At the top is an oval metal ball with a diameter of five meters. The light blue energy threads on the ball are densely covered, making people feel dizzy.

This tall tower is continuously stimulating energy, releasing a blue light film from the top sphere, sheltering the entire inner ring area within it.

The function of this light film is not detection, but a practical protection function. It not only isolates the earth and rocks that have fallen above, but also activates a warning when Li Wei approaches, and he must obtain permission to enter.

The licensing method is unknown.

The other two buildings are a pitch-black spiers with a spiral shape, and a hexagonal purple crystal tower.

The former is dead silent, without any energy fluctuations.

The latter flickers a faint arc of light from time to time, spreading rapidly to the entire ruins. This arc of light will eventually merge into the outermost barrier of the ruins, and then continue to circulate.

Inside the ruins, Li Wei didn't feel anything when he was swept by the light arc, which reminded him that it might be some kind of detection method.

The bottom structures of the three buildings are staggered to form a huge semi-circular building, while the other semi-circle is empty, which gives Levi a very weird feeling, as if that half has been forcibly erased.

It's not that he thinks too much.

From his perspective in the air, if the other semicircular structure is completed, the shape of the entire inner ring area is exactly an ellipse.

An ellipse similar to an eyeball.

But looking at it now, the inner ring area seemed to be swallowed up in half by something.

But in fact, this is just his visual experience. The structure of the three buildings is very complete, and there are no traces of corrosion or cutting, and they were built so deliberately.

Now there is only one buried area left in the entire ruins. He has checked all other places and found nothing. If it is related to the permission to enter the inner ring area, there is only that area left.

It will take about two or three hours to completely clean up.

Li Wei just took advantage of this time to lead the team to familiarize themselves with the newly mastered skills.

First up is Theodora.

She already has four skill slots, but two of them do not increase her combat ability.

One is blood rebirth, which is a life-saving skill, but Theodora basically never triggers it in battle.

Her abnormal blood recovery ability is equivalent to a second life, especially after she has the feather of the phoenix, she will not need this inferior life-saving ability that will be weak for a period of time after resurrection.

The second is Vampire's Embrace.

The effect of this skill is to transform other units into vampires. The premise is biological units, and the transformed units will always be under Theodora's control. It seems powerful, but... isn't this the characteristic of undead?
If Theodora wants to form her own power, then this skill is very useful, allowing her to obtain a group of loyal servants without fear of betrayal.

But Theodora has not yet shown any subjective awareness.

In fact, she still has a kind of resistance to sucking blood herself, let alone asking her to transform other units.

This is also a useless skill that occupies a slot.

Li Wei bought a bunch of Forgotten Gems for skill washing, and simply washed away her two skills. In this way, she had four empty skill slots, and Li Wei then chose three melee skills for her.

【Phantom Rush】

【level one】

[Type: Active]

[Level: Rare]

[Consumption: 530 mana points]

[Cooling: 20 seconds]

[Explanation: Lock on an enemy, and then make a dash that ignores obstacles, causing physical damage equal to 310% of the enemy's physical attack, and causing a foot lock effect for 3 seconds, and the dash distance must not exceed 15 meters]

……

【Grudge burst】

【level one】

[Type: Active]

[Level: Rare]

[Consumption: 50 mana points]

[Cooling: 30 seconds]

[Description: After using this skill, it will clear all the control effects it has received, and enter a super body state that lasts for 1.5 seconds, ignoring any control during this period, and reducing the damage it receives by 30%]

……

【Basics of Swordsmanship】

【Melee】

[Type: Passive]

[Level: Normal]

[Explanation: When equipped with a sword weapon, all types of damage +10%, crit +3%]

【upgradeable】

……

three skills.

One rush, one release, one passive.

The reason why she only learns three skills is because intelligent units like Theodora have a chance to comprehend skills on their own in battle, and her Wind King Long Sword also has similar characteristics, leaving a slot in case of accidents.

Among these three skills, the most valuable is the fighting spirit burst skill, but the rarest one is only the basic level of swordsmanship.

This is a basic passive skill that grows.

In the common sense of most players, any type of item will become especially precious once it involves basic bonuses.

However, the weapon proficiency skill is a surprise.

Because, every melee player will master the corresponding weapon proficiency skills at the beginning.

Skill effects of the same type do not stack, which makes this type of weapon mastery skill book worthless.

It is rare because the way of production is very rare, and most people know that this thing is useless and cannot be sold at a price, so few people sell it. Generally, after getting it, they basically throw it in the store.

Even if some people know that mercenaries can learn, few people buy them, because mercenaries have limited skill slots.

Mastering a passive skill that requires continuous investment in resources is far less effective than learning a powerful active skill.

But Theodora is different. Her output comes more from the flat slash after the attack speed bonus, and the blood recovery and battery life attached to the flat slash, which ensures the output and improves her frankness at the same time, so as to achieve standing boss.

So this skill is very useful for her.

Li Wei then used the breaking gem to upgrade her swordsmanship foundation to swordsmanship proficiency.

Damage and crit chance bonuses increased by 5% and 3% respectively.

After mastering the new skills, Theodora's output ability has at least doubled, and her overall combat effectiveness has increased by more than several times.

Before, she would be afraid of units with multiple controls, but now she doesn't need to pretend at all, especially the crispy long-range, Theodora, who has a 15-meter dash distance and is out of control, will become their nightmare.

Then came Mill, who was also the main output, and Xiong Da, who was the team's meat shield.

The original skills of the two of them do not need to be changed. On the basis of leaving a space, Li Wei chose a new skill for each of them.

【Lianzhu Arrow】

【level one】

[Type: Active]

[Level: Rare]

[Consumption: 550 mana points]

[Cooling: 12 seconds]

[Explanation: Continuously shoot 3 (+1) times at an extremely fast speed, and a single attack will cause physical damage equal to 230% of the physical attack. When hitting the same enemy continuously, the damage will be increased in stages according to the number of attacks. 30%/60%/90%...]

……

【Deterrent gaze】

【level one】

[Type: Active]

[Level: Rare]

[Consumption: 650 mana points]

[Cooling: 15 seconds]

[Explanation: Stare at a single target. During the duration of the skill, the unit will not be able to face the caster with its back or side. After removing the gaze, the skill will automatically terminate. You can stare at the target for up to 12 seconds]

……

Lianzhu Arrow has greatly increased Mier's long-range output ability. The damage increase cost of this skill is not low. There are four attacks, and each attack has a bonus of 230%. With her panel, she can cause more than 5 damage.

Moreover, after hitting the same unit consecutively, the subsequent damage can also be increased by a percentage.

note.

This percentage increase is based on the increase in total damage.

If she can hit four arrows at the same time, then the damage of her last arrow will cause an output nearly double the total damage!

In terms of single target output, this skill is even a bit higher than Arrow Rain Storm.

And the release speed and cooling time of the two are completely incomparable.

The new skill that Xiong Da has mastered is an alternative compulsory control skill. As long as it keeps staring at the target, the target can only face it head-on. The effect of this skill is also effective for players.

out of curiosity.

Li Wei experimented with this skill himself.

He found that when Xiong Da stared at him, it wasn't that he couldn't control his face, but that he felt a great sense of fear that as long as he dared to ignore Xiong Da, Xiong Da would tear him apart instantly.

If he forcibly turned his back on Xiong Da, he would feel panic in his heart, which seriously interfered with his thinking and judgment ability. If such a drastic change of mentality occurred during a battle, it would be enough to bring fatal consequences.

He estimates that this skill can have a strong impact even on professional players.

It is worth mentioning that after Xiong Da learned the deterrent gaze, this skill was directly upgraded to the fifth level, and the duration was +4, reaching 16 seconds.

One second less than the cooldown.

This means that as long as it has enough mana, it can completely stare down a target.With this skill, Xiong Da was directly promoted from a simple meat shield to a main tank, and it was difficult for the enemy not to target it.

Choose good skills for their three main forces, and Li Wei also found some skills for himself to increase his combat ability.

Li Wei is very clear about his position. Although the Lord of the Rings has given him unlimited possibilities, and he can even switch to melee combat, Li Wei knows that he is not the material for melee combat, which requires a strong operation and awareness.

In terms of consciousness, he is at the top level, and he can operate it...

Li Wei's positioning for himself is assistance + control, but under this premise, he must first have sufficient self-protection ability.

So he chose four skills for himself.

【Magic Shield】

【level one】

[Type: Active]

[Level: Rare]

[Consumption: 500 mana]

[Cooling: 30 seconds]

[Description: Generate a magic shield. The attributes of the magic shield are affected by the caster's own elemental attributes. The initial durability value is 10% of the mana value + 130% of the magic attack, and lasts for 20 seconds.]

……

【level one】

[Type: Passive]

[Level: Rare]
