Chapter 128: Chapter 76: Holy Nail and Mask_2
Translator: 549690339 |
Previously, Leonard Churchill had no idea what the mask was supposed to absorb, but now he knew.
It was the divinity that was being absorbed.
He removed the mask and put it in his card, and saw that its color had changed from flesh-toned to white, as if a layer of foundation had been applied.
When Leonard saw the mask’s attributes, his eyes lit up: “The artifact has been upgraded?”
Not only had the effects of all mysterious immunity increased by about 20%, but two new operators had also been added.
1, “Mental Power Absorption +15°/o”
2, “Cognition +2”
“Hiss….”
Leonard breathed in sharply.
This clown mask was an artifact that was already incredibly effective; thanks to this mask, he had escaped several near-death experiences before.
Now, its attributes have significantly improved.
This means that any mysterious second-tier Curse Card Master threats will be extremely limited in the future.
Looking at the two newly appeared operators, Leonard found himself deep in thought.
The first operator allowed him to absorb external mental power to a certain extent and recover his own, which was easy to understand.
But what about the enhanced cognition?
Leonard wore the mask and immediately understood what was happening.
The mask temporarily increased his cognitive limit.
Looking again at the nail in front of him, the enlightenment from it was different.
[Light and Dark Holy Nail]
Detailed Explanation: in Ancient artifact; Holy +9, Curse +9; Pierced into the target, it can seal the energy vibrations of undead creatures that aren’t higher than the artifact’s own law level. This is a tool used to execute an indescribable existence in ancient times. It possesses both the power to slay gods and holy power, making it one of the rare artifacts in the world with both righteousness and evil. It also has a strong Light and Dark contamination characteristic.
Originally, the enlightenment was almost only an attribute introduction, but now, he could see some of the cause-and-effect backgrounds of the artifact.
Looking at the enlightenment before him, Leonard suddenly realized: “Was that dark golden blood the blood of that indescribable existence?”
With the increase in cognition, the world he saw was different.
“This ability is amazing!”
Leonard even felt that this ‘Cognition +2’ operator was more useful than the attribute increase.
Although it doesn’t seem to directly improve combat power, being able to see more information than others through enlightenment is more significant than merely having more attributes.
But then something struck him, and he glanced at the pottery jar at his waist.
A bucket of cold water seemed to pour over him.
It was still the same.
Um… this feature needs upgrading.
But Leonard was still in a good mood. This meant that the maskhad room for improvement. He thought to himself, “Looks like I need to pay more attention to things with divinity.”
He didn’t expect to grab a nail that he didn’t know what to do with, but it had unexpectedly unlocked new features for the clown mask.
Leonard took out an Advanced Containment Card, activated it, and the [Light and Dark Holy Nail] was immediately contained within it.
Now it wouldn’t be inconvenient to carry it around.
After packing up the spoils of war, Leonard started to absorb the Secret Cause
Spirit Medium.
The time flew by, and it was night again.
As Leonard expected, the process of absorbing the Spirit Medium went very smoothly, and no one disturbed him.
In the morning, the early steam train whistled through the street.
The noise of last night had completely disappeared.
A new day had begun.
Leonard opened his eyes from his meditation, a bright light flashed in his dark eyes, building an increasingly calm momentum.
He let out a long breath, speaking to himself: “My attributes have reached the limit for a Card Master Apprentice…”
Upon inspecting.
The Spirit Medium in his hand had disappeared, replaced by an outrageously enhanced body attribute.
‘Leonard Churchill1
Strength: 10.82
Physique: 10.96
Agility: 10.11
Tenacity: 10.04
Spirit: 6.37
Curse Power: 3321
Aura: Curse Gambler
Elemental Affinity: Dark 41 / Light 19 / Land 18 / Wind 15 / Water 16 / Fire 11 / Thunder 8 / Wood 21 / Metal 9
All attributes were essentially above 10.
Seeing this, even Leonard himself felt like he was dreaming.
Normally, absorbing the Spirit Medium last night should have increased his attributes by around 4 points.
But in reality, it only increased by 2 points.
Not because there was a problem with the Spirit Medium, but because he had already reached the limit for a Card Master Apprentice.
By midnight yesterday, when his attributes reached 10, Leonard noticed that the increase had significantly slowed down.
It was like in his previous life, when an athlete’s 100-meter sprint entered the 10-second mark, it was exceedingly difficult to improve by 0.01 seconds.
Since he couldn’t keep the Spirit Medium, and he could still endure it, Leonard continued to consume it.
Until he cleanly consumed all of the Spirit Medium.
The feeling was like eating too much, with the food stuck in his throat.
His body felt terrible.
But the good news was, his attributes had been forcibly increased to almost 11. Don’t underestimate this small gap. The higher the base, the bigger the gap will become after transferring like a snowball effect.
Leonard jumped up, his body filled with a surge of power, making him feel fantastic in a way he’d never experienced before.
After throwing out a few punches, just relying on his strength, he could already create ripples in the air, and he could faintly hear the sound of air being compressed and popping.
Looking at the lights on the distant tower, Leonard was a bit excited, but also had a happy problem: “I have to consider the transfer card soon…” Three days ago when he went to the Black Market, he was just browsing. He thought he would face this question in a few months at least.
But to his surprise, because of an unforeseen gain of a Spirit Medium, his body attributes were directly pulled up to the peak of a Card Disciple.
If he doesn’t transfer, it will be very difficult to continue improving.
He had digested the Spirit Medium and contained the Holy Nail.
He had nothing that others would covet..
