章節 38: Bloodlust
編輯: Atlas Studios
In the beginning, Roy wanted to create a long-range skill. On the one hand, he could shoot out this skill with a biubiu sound, which would have a very hands-on feeling. On the other hand, he subconsciously felt that only skills that were launched could be called magic.
Roy knew quite a number of such skills such as Fire Arrow, Frost Arrow, Chaos Arrow, Spirit Ball, Windblade, Railgun, and so on. As a result, Roy suffered from difficulty choosing. He wanted to learn everything.
However, he currently only had one fallen soul in his possession, and he did not know how much it would consume to manifest a magic skill. Therefore, Roy could only control his mind and think about which one would best fit his situation.
He had idled most of his time away in the Van Helsing world, although it was for exploration and seeking answers. Moreover, if he had not planned to return early, he almost could not have come back. His first experience being summoned allowed him to understand many things.
Most of these worlds that could summon demons usually had extraordinary powers like magic. However, there were differences in their power, which were the low and high-magic worlds often mentioned. In low-magic worlds, the monsters and exorcists mostly used their physical strength when fighting. This was why the low-rank demons of the upper level of the Abyss could make waves in such worlds.
Roy was a low-rank demon himself. He had drawn out most of the potential of his demon body after using the T-Virus to strengthen himself. His current strength was equivalent to that of a normal top-low-rank demon, but even this strength was enough to crush the famous vampire Dracula in the Van Helsing world.
However, it was worth noting that even Roy was not sure if he had any chance of evolution because of his impure bloodline. Roy felt that he either had to seek ways to evolve like demons had done so over the millions of years or seek a way to collect a large number of souls and use the system to evolve himself. No matter which method he chose, the fact remained that Roy would have to spend a lot of time in the upper Abyss.
Roy was not sure how big the upper Abyss was either, no clue how many low-rank demons there were, and if there were any stronger or faster than him among these demons.
The so-called top-low-rank demons were just a phase. It did not mean that they had reached their peak, but that they had crossed infancy and entered maturity. The longer a demon lived, the more powerful they would be. This was an indisputable fact.
Roy felt that the effect of a magic arrow would probably not be any stronger than the damage with his claws given his current magic energy situation. So after thinking about it, Roy finally decided on his first skill.
His first magic skill should be something that could increase his own strength and speed!
After deciding, Roy started modeling. He first completed a model of his normal self, fixed the proportions, and made a bigger copy of it.
He went to work, though he did not spend too much time, and quickly completed a GIF animation.
In the animation, Roy's body was normal at first, but then his body began to swell after a burst of red light. Not only did his body become larger, but his muscles were stronger.
Roy even added a BGM for this animation in his head. Oh oh oh oh…
It was a very familiar animation. Right! Its name was Bloodlust!
After completing the animation, Roy began to define this skill. He kept its name as Bloodlust, and his description for it was 'increase strength and speed by percentage'.
Roy did not set a specific percentage increase. After all, if he set it himself, he would definitely increase it to 100%, 200%, or the like. The higher, the better. However, the higher he set it, the higher the consumption of souls.
Even if he wanted to set it lower, he did not know what the best price-performance ratio was. Therefore, he simply handed it over to the system to decide the optimal number.
With that, Roy completed his first magic skill. The modeling of this skill was pretty simple. It did not even need any extra actions other than enlarging the model. The rest was nothing more than the length of effect for the Bloodlust skill and the red glowing special effect emanating from his body.
Roy saved the skill, and before long, the Bloodlust skill appeared in his attribute panel.
Without further ado, Roy wanted to experiment with it. However, he was a little unsure if he should do it in the nest, so he flew out and landed on the ground before using it on himself.
Since he had not set any extra movements, the effects of the Bloodlust skill were almost instantaneous. When the blood-red light permeated his body, Roy immediately felt an immense power all over his body.
Roy's original two-meter-tall body began to swell, and the muscles in his arms, chest, abdomen, and legs bulged up. This feeling was like changing into the Hulk, and Roy could not help but roar!
After a short while, he stopped growing bigger. He grew about fifty centimeters, and his weight increased quite a fair bit as well. The ground he was standing on now had a shallow pit from his weight increase, and even his wingspan grew wider. The blood-red light permeated his body, feeling as though it was radiating.
Roy looked at the ground and picked up a stone the size of a grinding disc with both hands. He gauged it in his hands and felt that it was at least a few tens of kilograms. He pierced his right claw into the stone, picked it up with that hand, and then flung it forward!
This large rock flew out with a whistling sound. It traveled for quite some time, drawing a curved trajectory before landing about a kilometer away!
"Ooh!" Roy exclaimed. Such strength was indeed incredible.
Then Roy stomped on the ground and sprang out. He did not take too long to cross the kilometer and reach where the stone landed.
I used… about thirty seconds?
Roy estimated the time he took and came to the conclusion that he could easily run at a speed of ninety kilometers an hour with his legs, like a car running on a highway. This speed was simply…
His power was so ridiculous that he did not know how much strength he had now.
He opened the system interface and found that his strength attribute had increased from the original 77 to 108, and his speed increased from 35 to 50. That meant that the increase brought by his Bloodlust was about 40%. It was not like the 100% that Roy wanted, but it satisfied him since it only used up twenty magic energy. One point of magic energy brought an equivalent of a 2% increase in his attributes.
Most importantly, the duration was very long, lasting about three whole minutes before the light of Bloodlust faded away.
This was the optimal choice after automatic adaptation by the system. The increase might only be 40%, but the magic power consumption was within acceptable range. The duration was also enough to support a small-scale battle.
Roy was naturally very satisfied with it. But the cherry on the top was that it did not fully consume the fallen soul! In fact, there was plenty left!
This surprised Roy. It seemed like this fallen soul was not only of high quality, but it also contained more soul power than he had imagined.
Roy thought about what to do with the remaining part of the fallen soul. He did not intend to make another skill, so he modified Bloodlust by adding another definition attribute to it: Can cast on specified target!
In other words, after the modification, Roy could not only use Bloodlust on himself but also on targets that he wanted to enhance.
Saving the modification consumed quite a lot of the fallen soul. The description of the fallen soul in the system was now 'nearly disappearing', meaning there was not much left.
Roy still had the souls of Anna and Viken, as well as several other human souls that Lucius had contributed to him. They were all relatively large but were low-quality souls. After thinking about it, he used these souls to make a Magic Energy Growth Potion once again.
After drinking the Magic Energy Growth Potion, Roy's magic energy increased more than a dozen points again, breaking through to forty. This way, he could at least ensure that his magic energy was enough to use Bloodlust twice.
He basically exhausted his supply of ordinary souls, so Roy was now left with that 'holy soul fragment'…
So, what can I do with a holy soul fragment?
