Chapter 809. Leveling up the Divine Skill
When Jack received the notification of his Beastmaster reaching level 50, he paused for a bit, which almost caused him to get fried by Garland's lightning. He jumped away at the last instant.
When he was worried Garland's lightning would come again, he heard the man's voice, "So, this is your people's trick?"
Garland was looking at the sky. Arther and Duchess Isabelle were in battle some distances away while a few people flew to the West carrying someone that wore Prince Alonzo's royal armor.
"Don't expect that your prince can escape!" Garland uttered as his body started floating.
However, an incredibly powerful force dragged him down.
"You stay here!" Duke Alfredo uttered. He cast a spell that caused Garland to lose his flying ability.
"Traitor to the crown! Are you so eager to die?" Garland shouted, angry for being interrupted from chasing after the third prince. Uncountable lightning came out of his body.
Duke Alfredo cast Magic Wall just when uncountable lightning snakes came at him. He was dual-casting another spell while maintaining his magic wall which was being bombarded by the lightning snakes. However, several lightning snakes shot from above the magic wall before changing direction and coming at the duke. The duke saw them. He expertly changed his mid-casting spell. A barrier surrounded his body and protected him from the lightning.
In his anger, Garland seemed to have forgotten about Jack, allowing Jack a reprieve. But when he thought he could rest, two nearby enemy soldiers came at him. Luckily, they were only level 49 elite soldiers. He had no problem dealing with the two. As he fought the two, he also used the chance to open his status window. He went to his inherent skill page and activated the upgrade option of his Lightning God Blessing.
The one divine gem and ten magic crystals floated out from his inventory before re-entering him. They were not re-entering his inventory, though. These materials entered and dissolved into his body. As they did, he heard the notification that his Lightning God Blessing had upgraded to level 2.
Lightning God Blessing, Level 2/3
- Lightning resistance +100 (passive skill)
- Every attack +20% lightning damage and 2% chance to cause Paralyze for 3 seconds (passive skill)
- Lightning God Barrage (Active skill 1), Shoot 20 balls of lightning that explode dealing 500% lightning damage each in a 5-meter diameter area, 30% causing Paralyze for 10 seconds. Range: 50 meters. Cooldown: 5 hours
- Lightning God Suit (Active skill 2), Don a suit made of lightning. Immunity to lightning. Immune to all movement restrictions. Reduce all received damage by 70%. All hostiles within a radius of 3 meters received 30% lightning damage each second. Duration: 3 minutes. Cooldown: 6 hours
Upgrade to the next level require: 1 Divine Crystal, 3 Divine Gem, 20 Magic Crystal, exp: 0/30,000,000
Jack was speechless after reading the description. Peniel had informed him that he would get another active skill once this divine skill leveled up, but he never thought that the existing skill would receive an upgrade as well. The lightning god barrage was already heaven-defying as it was, but now both its damage and range had increased. The two passive skills were also doubled from the previous.
For the new active skill, it was a defensive skill that not only gave a better damage reduction compared to Gold Scale Armor but also dealt constant damage to all nearby enemies. It even gave him a complete immunity to lightning.
What dismayed him was the exp needed to feed this divine skill again. It was ten times previous. Although the monsters he could kill now gave more exp points. This number still required a lot of time. Unless this war was prolonged, of course. But tonight would be the end of the current war, no matter the outcome.
The materials required to upgrade also increased. There was one new material, a divine crystal. He knew this material was of the legendary grade because he had seen one before. He wondered if this material was still where he last saw it.
He wanted to ask Peniel if he knew any other sure place to get this divine crystal, but he realized the fairy was not around. As he was about to send a thought to her, she suddenly materialized beside him. She fell to his shoulder and clung to him.
"What's wrong with you?" Jack asked.
"I can't fly!" Peniel uttered. "Some moron had cast a spell that caused everyone to lose their flying ability in a large area."
'I hope the duke didn't hear that,' Jack thought and looked at the duke, who was still in a fierce battle with Garland.
"What do you want with Laurent, by the way?" Jack looked at where Laurent was. He was still supporting Arlcard who was battling Claudius. Surprisingly, another person was aiding Arlcard. Someone who was supposed to have died already.
"Bailey?" Jack uttered.
"Laurent has the Resurrection spell," Peniel explained.
"So, that's why you go to find him," Jack said. "Hey! Ask him to resurrect Miller as well."
"Cannot," Peniel answered flatly.
"Why?"
"Two reasons. First, The Resurrection spell has a three-hour cooldown. A native can only be resurrected if he or she dies within an hour of the spell being cast. Longer, then the spell will fail because the soul will be too far gone already. Second, the spell needs a body for the resurrection. Miller's body was completely destroyed. He is gone for good."
"Oh…," Jack was dejected. He had been hopeful after hearing about the resurrection spell. At least Bailey was saved. Jack hoped she didn't bite the dust again. But with Laurent providing support, she and Arlcard should be safe.
The two elite soldiers that were fighting Jack were frustrated. The guy was fighting them but he could chat and looked around as if the two of them meant nothing. The worst thing was, they could hardly hit him while they kept on getting slashed by the dude.
For Jack's Hundred Synchronous Thoughts, it was not a difficult thing for him to fight weaker opponents while doing other things.
"Alright, let's finish these two weaklings and then we go take care of that fat lightning fellow," Jack said. The two soldiers who heard were getting even more provoked. They redoubled the ferocity of their assaults, but they still could hardly hit Jack. Jack had been using only Formless Flowing Sword style and Eight Diagram Illusory Steps against these two soldiers.
"Do you have a death wish?" Peniel asked. She knew Jack was talking about Garland who was fighting with the duke not far away.
"Don't worry, I have Lightning God Suit," Jack said.
"Lightning God… You have upgraded your Lightning God Blessing… Your Beastmaster is level 50!" Peniel uttered.
"Yeah."
"Use the Ultimate Beast skill," Peniel said.
The Ultimate Beast was the level 50 standard skill that Jack received when he became level 50 Beastmaster.
Ultimate Beast, level 1/20 (Active skill, requires pet)
Release the secret power of the pet. +300% to pet's attributes, +20% to pet's damage, damage received by the pet is reduced by 30%. Certain pets might display unique abilities during the skill.
Duration: 3 minutes
Cooldown: 6 hours
"For most beasts, this skill only gives the pet a boost as stated in the skill description," Peniel explained. "Therras Beast, however, had a unique ability that will be triggered once its owner activated this skill. I told you before the founder of the Themisphere kingdom was a beastmaster that had a Therras Beast as a pet, right? He was famous for uniting the kingdom with the power of his Therras Beast, which was triggered by this Ultimate Beast skill."
"Are you sure it will be safe? I don't want my Therras to die. It doesn't have lightning immunity," Jack said. He was still worried, the damage reduction stated in the skill was only 30%. Garland's lightning was so destructive that 70% damage was still a lot!
"It will be hard to kill a Therras Beast under the influence of Ultimate Beast skill," Peniel said. "Additionally, your Therras has an armor. It should survive."
"Should?" Jack asked. That didn't sound like a certainty.
Peniel shrugged.
Jack rolled his eyes at her. However, there was indeed never a certainty in a battle. His Therras indeed had very high HP. With that unique armor it wore, it won't be so easy to get killed even if the opponent was very strong. If something went wrong, he could always forcefully unsummon the pet before things got too dangerous.
Jack looked at Therras. It and the Ice Demon Fiend had finished the lightning golem. They were currently fighting common soldiers in that area.
Jack used the burst attack of Formless Flowing Sword style, dealing combo damages to the two soldiers. The two were shocked. Only now did they realize this outworlder was taking it easy with them. Their health was low already, so they turned around and tried to escape. Jack used Shredding Fang. The fangs pierced their bodies and devoured their remaining HP.
After finishing the two soldiers, Jack sent a mental command for Therras and Ice Demon Fiend to come to Garland. He did the same.
