Second World

Chapter 1970: Chapter 1970. Organizing Skills and Levels



The loots Satan dropped were even more than Dajja. The grades were also higher on average. This was not strange, considering Jack used the Runestone of Luck when Satan died.

He stored all the gold coins, mana cores, equipment, materials, and ingredients. Most of those he would donate to the guild. He kept one equipment because it was the only legendary gear he was missing, a ring.

*

Ring of Devil Incarnate (Legendary accessory).

All stats +30

All elemental resistance +70

10% chance to deal double damage. Cooldown after triggering double damage: 1 minute

Skills and spells have a 25% chance to ignore barriers. Cooldown after triggering ignore barriers: 5 minutes

Devil Blood (active ability): All attributes +200%. Defense +100%. Resistance +50. Increase damage based on HP loss (up to a maximum of 100%). When HP falls to 60% and 30% for the first time, deal 1000% chaos damage to the nearest hostile. Duration: 30 minutes. Cooldown: 6 hours

*

He replaced his Ring of Heroism with this legendary ring. Now, all his equipment was legendary grades.

Aside from the ring, four other items caught his interest. The first was a unique-grade technique book. It contained the skill, Devil Eye Flare. It was another eye skill but an offensive one. Peniel explained this skill was what Satan used when he shot fire beams from the eyes.

Jack learned the skill without delay.

*

Devil Eye Flare (Active skill)

Shoot two beams from the eyes. Each beam deals 1000% fire damage and can chase targets separately.

50% chance to inflict Burn and Rage.

Cooldown: 30 minutes

*

The next loot was also a technique book, but its grade was legendary. The skill contained inside was called the Runic Ring of Defense.

"Not the Soul and Chaos Ring of Defense?" Jack uttered with a disappointed tone.

"The Soul and Chaos Ring of Defense is a skill unique to Satan. No one else can learn it," Peniel explained. "This is the next best thing."

Jack also didn't waste time learning this skill.

*

Runic Ring of Defense (Special skill).

Create a ring that blocks damage. The ring's defense is affected by overall stats.

Cooldown if the ring is destroyed: 3 hours

*

"Another skill with stingy info," Jack remarked.

"If you need to know, that ring is more durable than the War God's Shield," Peniel informed. "If the ring is not broken, any attack blocked by the ring will not harm you. So, it is not just damage reduction."

"Cool," Jack uttered.

Since this Runic Ring of Defense had no duration, Jack tested it. A ring made of light appeared on his hand. Its size was as large as his body. The ring had runic symbols adorning its edge. Jack cast an Ice Bullet and used mana manipulation to control it to fly back toward himself. He placed the ring before him. Although it was shaped like a ring, which was hollow at the center, the ice bullet was destroyed when it crashed into this seemingly hollow center.

"Hm...," He thought about using a stronger skill to test the ring's durability but decided not to waste time doing that. He could join the ongoing war and test the ring in real combat.

The ring disappeared from his hand.

Both the skills he just learned were independent elite skills. They were not bound to a class. Any elite class could learn them. Like his other independent skills, these two skills didn't have a level. Their improvements were the star upgrades.

The third loot that got his attention was a legendary-grade Evolve Seed. Its name was Demonic Seed. Peniel explained this seed was best used on an offensive skill. The next best thing to use this seed on was a buff skill.

Jack decided to use the seed on his supposedly most powerful offensive skill, which he just gained. After defeating Satan and Dajja, he leveled up again. All three of his classes level up one time. His Beast Monarch was originally locked out from receiving exp points, but both Void Sword Saint and Time Sage had increased to the highest level of 99. There were still exp points left, so they went to the Beast Monarch, which was now level 95.

Like others with the pinnacle classes, he received a skill when he reached this highest level. The new skill of Void Sword Saint was an offensive skill.

*

Void Living Sword, level 1/20. (Active skill, range, requires sword).

Create a sentient sword made of void. The sword dealt 300% chaos damage with each slash.

All attacks received by the sword are absorbed by the void and can be redirected.

The sword possesses a gravitational field that affects its vicinity, slowing all hostiles within

its range.

Each hit has a 1% chance of causing instant death.

Has a very high chance of wounding a hit target.

Duration: 1 minute.

Stamina: 500

Cooldown: 2 hours

*

Jack decided to use the Demonic Seed on this skill. After absorbing the seed, the Void Living Sword changed its name to Void Demon Sword.

*

Void Demon Sword, level 1/20. (Active skill, range, requires sword).

Create a sentient sword made of void. The sword dealt 500% chaos damage with each slash.

All attacks received by the sword are absorbed by the void and altered into demonic spirit swords that strike distant enemies.

The sword possesses a demonic field that slows all enemies within its vicinity and deals 50%

magical damage each second.

Each hit has a 1% chance of causing instant death.

Has a very high chance of wounding a hit target.

Duration: 1 minute.

Stamina: 500

Cooldown: 2 hours

*

Jack was very eager to test this skill. He looked over to the warring armies.

"Later," he said to himself.

He took out his Container of Souls. Inside the container was an incredible number of souls. They came from the demons defeated by him and the armies several days earlier, but the biggest portion came from Satan and Dajja. As the number one devil and the number one demon, the souls generated by the two's death were incomparable to any foes he had

vanquished before.

Inside his Container of Souls were 15,600,000 souls.

He had 6 free skill points from Void Sword Saint. Adding 1,300,000 souls, he leveled up the

Void Demon Sword to its maximum level. Every level increased the chaos damage by 25%, the magical damage by 2.5%, and the duration by 6 seconds. At max level, Void Demon Sword dealt 1000% chaos damage with each slash. All enemies within its vicinity received 100% magical damage each second. The skill's duration was now 3 minutes.

Jack further upgraded the skill by spending 3,000,000 souls to give it ten stars. Each star of Void Demon Sword made its gravitational power stronger and increased the instant death chance by 0.4%. At ten stars, the instant death chance was 5%.

Jack again had to stymie his desire to try out the skill. He turned his attention to his other class. The Time Sage's ultimate spell was Time Reverse.

*

Time Reverse, level 1/20 (Active spell)

Turn back time by 20 seconds.

Cooldown: 2 hours

Mana: 600

*

It was a simple description, but its singular effect didn't need much explanation. Among the pinnacle classes, Time Sage was the only one devoid of offensive spells. Even so, Jack didn't think Time Sage was inferior to the other pinnacle classes. If anything, this class had the best support. By controlling time, one could control the flow of combat.

Jack wasted no time maximizing the spell. He spent Time Sage's 6 free skill points and 4,300,000 souls to upgrade the spell to level 20 and ten stars. Each level increased its duration by 2 seconds. Each star reduced its cooldown by 6 minutes. At level 20 and ten stars, Time Reverse could reverse time by one minute. Its cooldown was reduced to only one hour.

He still had 7,000,000 souls. He used it to upgrade the other new skills he had just learned. He spent 6,000,000 souls to fully upgrade the Devil Eye Stare and the Runic Ring of Defense. Each star of Devil Eye Stare increased the fire damage by 50% and decreased its cooldown by 2 minutes. At ten stars, each beam dealt 1500% fire damage. Its cooldown was only ten minutes. The durability of the Runic Ring of Defense increased with each star. Its cooldown was also

reduced by 12 minutes per star. At ten stars, Jack only needed to wait one hour if the ring was destroyed.

He then used 900,000 souls for Dragon Eye. Its seven stars were upgraded to ten stars. The active effect of the skill now lasted thirty seconds.

The remaining 100,000 souls he used in conjunction with Beast Monarch's 3 free skill points to level up Demonize Pet to level 11. The skill now lasted 45 minutes.

Jack also gained 15 free attribute points from his level-ups. He spent them on his Endurance

stat.

Now that he had gained all the available skills from his classes, he figured it was time to use

the level-down pills. He had stocked up a number of these pills during his past visits to the

underworld.

He didn't use the pills on the Void Sword Saint and Time Sage. If he did, he would lose the

ability to use the Void Demon Sword and Time Reverse. Both skills would still be on his skill

page but would be unusable. Hence, he only used them on Beast Monarch, which only granted free skills up to level 90.

He used five level-down pills and brought Beast Monarch back to level 90. He would need

fewer exp points to level up at that level. This way, he could continue increasing his stats without losing any skills.

Done organizing his skills and levels, he turned to the last loot dropped by Satan.
