Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Necromancer!_1
Translator: 549690339
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Beside the Origin Energy Well.
Tuck looked at the 22 Talent Fragments produced by the system, revealing a slight smile.
"I wonder what kind of change will occur when transforming from S Level to SS Level, crossing over the critical point of 500%."
Tuck, taking a deep breath, felt somewhat expectant.
He opened his attribute panel.
Tuck allocated all 22 Talent Fragments to the S Level [Precision].
As 478% became 500%,
S Level [Precision] transformed into SS Level.
A somewhat odd sensation welled up within him.
A complete and substantial view of trajectories and pathways reemerged.
Comparing to the last time, after stepping into SS Level, Tuck could feel a deeper integration with the world's pathways and trajectories.
He could precisely grasp any node of the pathways in the world around him.
Even with his eyes closed, the world he could sense was much larger than when he was at S Level.
At the same time, upon entering the domain of SS Level,
[Precision]'s enhanced direction became "cutting in."
"To cut in better and more perfectly into different trajectories, into the nodes of the pathways," he thought.
"Making [Precision] even more accurate."
"With further enhancement within the SS Level range, I might even be able to track back along these trajectories."
"It seems to be..."
Tuck's eyes narrowed slightly.
"A lock-on + auto-tracking?"
"That seems to be the idea, but as an SS Level Transcendent Talent, it definitely isn't limited to just that."
"The SS Level range is 500%-1000%."
"I have only just crossed the threshold of 500%."
"The true nature of SS Level has yet to reveal itself."
"After a period of improvement, the more powerful attributes of SS Level will certainly stand out," he mused.
After feeling it out carefully, Tuck restrained his newly born SS Level [Precision].
Then he turned his thoughts to the Wizard Sequence within his body.
"The transformation of Transcendent Talent is complete, and I can finally advance," he said to himself.
Tuck's eyes narrowed slightly.
Upon ascending to the first rank, the Wizard Seed would bloom.
Soul, life, Origin Energy—all would undergo a complete transformation.
A First-Rank Wizard.
That was where the true beginning of touching the Transcendent World lay.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Tuck looked up towards the depth of the corridor.
The "Origin Energy Barrier" Tuck had constructed to block the Black Rat Skeletons had been breached.
"Did the Black Rat Skeletons do this, or was it something else?" he wondered.
Precision Vision was quietly released.
Into the pitch-black corridor came a view of a robust silver skeleton, two meters tall, wielding a gleaming bone knife.
And the silver skeleton in the darkness also spotted Tuck.
"A Peak First-Rank Silver Bone Skeleton."
A thought flickered through Tuck's mind.
"How is such a rare skeleton present so close to the High Tower Area?"
"Moreover, this area seems to be the ecological environment for Black Mice, right?"
Observing the skeleton creature that was completely different from the local Black Rat Skeletons and likely a "gift from nature,"
Tuck didn't dwell much on it and raised his hand to fire a "Bullet Tentacle."
"Bang!"
The witchcraft bullet tentacle, remarkably precise, burst inside the head of the Silver Bone Skeleton through the eye socket.
The soul flame of the Silver Bone Skeleton was rattled by the impact, causing its body to sway.
By the time the soul flame of the Silver Bone Skeleton stabilized,
two Bloodthorn Vines had already wrapped around the skeleton's arms, binding them tight.
The Silver Bone Skeleton immediately began to struggle.
"Stop struggling," said Tuck, approaching slowly.
As he extended his right hand forward, a "Fire Oil Bullet" began to form in his palm.
"My Bloodthorn Vines might only be Level Nine, but their toughness and strength have been fully reinforced by me," he explained.
"You won't be able to break free."
While speaking, Tuck's fire oil bullet grew from the size of a chicken egg to that of an ostrich egg.
Manipulating the fire oil bullet, he pressed it forcefully against the chest ribs of the Silver Bone Skeleton.
The semi-solid, semi-liquid fire oil bullet, as if alive, quickly spread over the Silver Bone Skeleton's silver bones.
The blazing fire roared as it burned furiously.
...
In the depths of his pupils, the burning Silver Bone Skeleton was reflected, and even "Aubrey" could vaguely feel the intense high temperature.
"The flame is formidable, not just any ordinary Level 9 fire, otherwise my Level 19 Silver Bone Skeleton wouldn't have been so easily ignited."
"So the question is, where did this impressive little fellow come from?"
In the core of the Bone Corridor, the "Necromancer Tower" built entirely from black skeletons stood tall here.
Necromancer "Aubrey" pushed open the window and stepped onto the balcony, the deathly aura from inside the room spilling out just like his own.
Just moments ago, Aubrey had received a message from his Silver Bone Skeleton.
An enemy had invaded!
As he controlled the "Eyes of the Undead" to look over,
Aubrey suddenly made a new discovery.
The attacker of his skeleton was an Apprentice Wizard.
A bullet, injected into the skull of the skeleton.
"Not bad, pretty accurate."
Immediately after,
Fast, precise, and ruthless Bloodthorn Vines yanked at the Undead Skeleton from both sides.
Keep in mind, those were just Level 9 vines.
The Level 19 Silver Bone Skeleton had much greater strength than ordinary skeletons.
Yet it couldn't break free.
The final "Fire Oil Bullet" put an end to this brief confrontation.
The young Wizard's techniques were excessively skilled, and for an Apprentice Wizard, the power of his witchcraft was unreasonably high.
So much so that Aubrey couldn't ignore it any longer.
"I heard that this time a genius member of the [Dark Sun Church] came to Ramore City-State, someone with extremely high talent and very young."
"For that new member, they've been hunting quite a few Wizards lately."
"It's said that they've even prepared a [Steam Core] to facilitate that prodigy's Steam Upgrade in Ramore City-State."
Aubrey's mind conjured up the image of that young, calm, and expressionless face when making a move.
The impressions of the two gradually merged!
"Could it be... that I've really come across him!"
"Hmm... no matter what... I can't let him get away!"
......
As the silver skeleton burned,
soon a bone crystal about the length of a finger bone fell out.
"Undead creature crystal."
"Can't be used for promotion, but it's not bad as a material for Transcendent Weapons."
"Probably worth about 3 Magic Gold."
Having secured the Finger Bone Crystal,
Tuck looked at the unfathomably deep well behind him and then at the Bone Corridor outside.
"I can't stay here any longer."
Just now, when Tuck had killed the Silver Bone Skeleton,
he noticed there was a trace of someone spying on him.
Although the trace was very faint, Tuck still felt it.
He originally thought that this first-rank skeleton was a "gift from nature."
Now it seemed highly likely that it was the "property" of a Necromancer Tower within the Ramore Tower City-State.
So the question came.
Should he risk escaping through the well, or should he escape through the Bone Cave?
"I just killed a patrolling skeleton, worth merely 3 Magic Gold."
"Such a big shot wouldn't come after me for just 3 Magic Gold, right?"
"Let's go!"
After a moment of thought and casting "Wind Sprint" on himself, Tuck dashed towards the Bone Cave.
At first, Tuck was somewhat at ease.
After all, it was just a first-rank skeleton.
But as time passed,
Tuck realized the Bone Cave ahead seemed to stretch endlessly, without any end in sight.
The longer he ran, the grimmer Tuck's expression became.
At that moment, he heard noises from behind.
Turning back, Tuck saw,
the skeletons surged forward like a tide.
The major figure atop the Necromancer Tower had taken action.
Tuck's eyes twitched frantically.
"Damn it, I just set off a firecracker."
"You don't need to bring a cannon to bear down on me for that!"
