Chapter 441: Spirit Sacrifice (Seeking Subscriptions)
“Is this how Rod conducts his business?”
Observing everything through the Eye of Mangodo, Su Lu had the urge to cover his eyes at the scene unfolding before him.
“Hecks any negotiation skills, just wielding his fists as a form ofmunication…well, if it wasn’t for his unique supply source and monopoly on certain businesses, I suppose he’d be bankrupt by now…”
“And… this transaction seems a bit too risky. I saw clear signs of greed in the crow’s eyes…”
Clearly, the treasures Rod had brought were enticing enough for the other party to consider breaking some rules.
As long as the benefits were attractive enough, what’s the harm in disregarding some rules?
Su Lu did not intervene immediately; he wanted to see how things would unfold.
Contrary to his expectations, Rod returned safely to the inn after the deal.
‘It seems… they n to track him down in the wild, or even find his hideout before making a move?’ Su Lu pondered.
Having stood up, Su Lu soon heard a knock on the door.<div>
“Su Lu, I’ve got the materials you needed,” Rod eximed with clear delight in his voice as he entered, presenting a ck crystal with a faint flicker of fire caught within it. “This is the all-important ck me Crystal!”
“Good,” Su Lu replied, taking the item which seemed to have been delivered at just the right moment.
If the crow made a move, it would be an entirely different affair from Rod’s minor skirmishes.
Without a Fifth Level, there probably wouldn’t be anyone who could maintain order.
More importantly, it would be best not to reveal the capability of the [Wandering Mage].
With this crystal, tonight, Su Lu could finally attempt to be an [Erosion Mage]! He couldplete his disguise for the second identity!
“By that logic…did they bring this upon themselves?”
Once he had dismissed Rod, Su Lu sat cross-legged, holding the ck me Crystal in his hand.
After another scan of his attributes, ensuring there were no major issues, he said solemnly, “Let’s get started!”
In the palm of his hand, a strand of ck me emerged.
This was Erosion Fire!
The ck me slowly wrapped itself around the ck me Crystal, providing warmth but not increasing the surrounding temperature.
Drops of ck liquid dripped slowly, transforming into ck threads that seeped into Su Lu’s body after an unknown amount of time had passed.
“Ugh…” Su Lu groaned softly, “Body modifications are indeed painful. Butpared to Dragon Blood Baptism, this falls short.”
Thin ck threads entered his body, forming a collection of ck, mysterious runes.
If he activated his [Wandering Mage] form, he would notice these runes located directly over the Void Runes – perfectly avoiding them, yet mysteriously interconnected.
When the night was at its darkest, the ck me Crystal held by Su Lupletely melded with his body, leaving only the ck markings on his body.
“This feeling… it seems like my attraction to the dark elements has grown stronger!”
He took a deep breath as his Inspiration scanned over his entire body, “Promote to [Erosion Mage]!”<div>
The screen of his attribute bar shifted, disying a load of information:
…
[Job Offer Condition 1: Precondition upation ck Robe Mage! (Met)]
[Job Offer Condition 2: Constitution 8.0, Spirit 10.0! (Met)]<div>
[Job Offer Condition 3: Dark Affinity LV8! (Met)]
[Job Offer Condition 4: Ritual of Corrosion (Met)]
[All prerequisite conditions met, consume 10,000 experience points to advance to Erosion Mage!]
…
In that moment, Su Lu felt as if his body had be transparent.
Countless ck lines surged and drew in the dark power from the world, forming a ball of ck mes in his chest.
This was the quintessential Erosion Fire!
The essence of bing an [Erosion Mage] is constructing a brand new spell system centred around the Erosion Fire!
But at that moment, Su Lu’s expression changed.
At his forehead, a purple halo shone and he inadvertently activated the [Wandering Mage] form!
“Juggling multiple jobs at once can lead to conflicts between their rules. The lighter oues stymy progression, while in the worst-case scenario, it could lead to death!”
The stern-faced Su Lu let go of the energy restrictions in his body, embracing the fact that everything happens for a reason.
The [Erosion Mage] and [Wandering Mage] capabilities could coexist as preconditions for [Spirit Mage], ensuring there would be no conflict.<div>
On his body, the Void Runes and the ck runes flickered, seeming toplement and connect with each other in some mysterious ways.
Not only that.
The core Erosion Fire rose to the level of his brow, merging with the heart of the Wandering Mage.
The purple halo seemed to engulf a growing orb of ck fire, giving it the appearance of a deep purple sun crown, fiercely burning.
His purple-gold robe contained traces of dark gold, adding a touch of majesty to his appearance.
After the [Wandering Mage] heart was stable, a notification from the attribute bar arrived:
[Ding! Job offer sess!]
[Took office of Erosion Mage! Spirit +3, Agility +2, Strength +2, Constitution +2!]
[Dark Affinity LV8 has reached the maximum passive level, initiating evolution… preconditions of bing an Erosion Mage met, passive skill converted to Dark Domain, current level LV1!]
“Dark Domain? It feels like I’ve entered the Mythic Domain… It makes me realize that all upations hold great potential. Havingplete control over the dark power in a particr area… If there are [ck Robe Mages] or other dark spell casters before me, a mere thought will probably have them meet a gruesome end.”
After carefully observing the attribute bar, Su Lu confirmed, “The Transcendent baptism at the legendary level, the added attributes really make it worthwhile… Unfortunately, indiscriminate juggling of jobs is suicidal.”
upational conflicts, it definitely wasn’t fun.
“Now that I hold two legendary professions, the Sixth Level is within sight!”<div>
He called up the job offer conditions for [Spirit Mage] in excitement:
[Sixth-Level upation Information – Spirit Mage!]
[Job Offer Condition 1: Precondition upations Wandering Mage, Erosion Mage!]
[Job Offer Condition 2: Strength 20.0, Agility 20.0, Constitution 20.0, Spirit 30.0]
[Job Offer Condition 3: Dream Seal LV8, Dark Domain LV4, Spirit World Traversal LV3, Void Physique LV3]
[Job Offer Condition 4: The ‘Spirit Sacrifice’ ritual, specific requirement: to gather at least 9,999 wise beings in a ce of resurgent Spirit Tide, and ritualistically salute the vast and ancient Spirit World…]
[Job Offer Condition 5: Consume 100,000 Experience Points!]
…
As Su Lu had seen this information before, he sank into contemtion.
“The [Spirit Mage] requires somewhat lesser attributes, but more advanced skills. Fortunately, these can be addressed with experience points. The only problem lies in the ‘Spirit Sacrifice’ ritual!”
Obviously, it will be difficult toplete this ritual in the Main World.
Or rather, as soon as he made an attempt, he would be discovered and attract a whole lot of attention.
