Chapter 854 Using the Rewards from the Dungeon: The Immense Benefits

Reign grinned as he saw the boots and their effect. They were perfect for him, and they would also give him an increase in stats, to be more specific, he would now have 5% more in strength, endurance, and vitality. As for the necklace, it increased his willpower and spirit stat by 20% each, and upon switching his previous necklace to this one, his spirit stat would gain a 5% bonus and his willpower would rise by 10%. ( AN: the previous necklace gave him bonuses in those two stats, that is why it's not 20% each but 5 and 10 respectively. )

That was of course not the only thing the necklace did as it also came with a skill.

The skill was a simple one, but it was definitely powerful.

[ Soothing aura ]

Description: By activating the skill, an aura will appear from the necklace, and all the friendly beings in a radius of 200 meters will have their souls protected from soul-based attacks and soul-based debuffs. If the soul-based attack is made by a being that is an entire Tier higher than the player using the skill, the aura will only be able to either block 2 such attacks or last for several seconds before dissipating.

Furthermore, if the soul-based attack is made by a Tier IX being, the aura will only be able to weaken it by 50% if the player is in the same Tier, and if the being that is attacking is a Tier X being, then the aura will be useless.

The skill was actually amazing for group fights as it could potentially save their asses if used at the right moment.

Next on the menu were the skill improvement cards.

Reign held both of the cards in his hand before he activated both to see what would happen.

He couldn't choose the skills he wanted to improve but would have to hope for the best.

[ 2X Skill improvement ( level-up ) cards have been activated. ]

Ding!

[ The skill 'Lightning Palm' has been improved ]

Ding!

[ The skill 'Inspect' has been improved ]

Ding!

[ The skill 'Inspect' has evolved and has now become 'Eye of Truth', a rank SS skill thanks to the experience the player has had with the exclusive skill 'All Seeing Eye', as well as the fact the player has managed to become one of the rare players in the world that have managed to unlock 10% of the system's functions for those in the leveling phase ]

[ Thanks to the great value the player has shown to the system, as well as the fact he is amongst the 1% of the players in the world that have unlocked 10%?of the functions, he has gained enough value to gain more information from the system on various things, including the ability to see more of another being's status screen ]

Ding!

[ The skill 'All Seeing Eye' has evolved thanks to the evolution of the skill 'Inspect' ]

[ The skill 'Eye of a Sage' has been created ]

[ Eye of a Sage – Rank SSS skill ]

Reign blinked numerous times as he stared at the many notifications that had suddenly appeared.

He definitely didn't expect the newest skill he had gained to be one of the two to suddenly improve.

He didn't have time to even check it out, so he had no idea how powerful it was, nor how powerful it had become after improving.

The biggest surprise was the [ Inspect ] skill.

Who would have known that by improving that one skill, he would actually get a better version, as well as an improved and evolved version of the [ All Seeing Eye ], which was already quite a broken skill.

Right now, with the [ Eye of Truth ], Reign could get a better look at another person's status screen. Not only that, but the description he would get about monsters would also be longer and more detailed. He would also gain a brief description of other players if he used it on them.

As for the [ Eye of a Sage ] skill, well it had truly become a cheat-like skill now.

[ Eye of a Sage ]

-?????Eye of a Sage skill will be unlocked for the player while in his own territory, inside an allied territory, and while not further away than 500 meters from one of those.

-?????The player can inspect up to 300 players a day and see their detailed status screen which will also show their current goals and dreams. The player will also be able to see how loyal to the territory and to the person he is inspecting is.

-?????The player can sense who amongst the people has any hostile emotions toward himself or the territory, the emotion no longer needs to be powerful for the player to see it on the status screen. All hostile emotions will be shown, but the player can choose to place a filter for that.

From now on, nobody could escape Reign's sight.

He could actually inspect over 300 people a day, and even though there were now a ton of people in his territory, hundreds of thousands of them if one included all the territories, all the bases, as well as all the allied territories, he didn't need to inspect everybody.

He would always know who has negative or hostile emotions toward the territory or him, and he could see who has the most hostile thoughts and inspect only those people.

Placing spies in his territory would no longer be an easy task. Only those who worked as spies but didn't have anything against him or the territory would be viable, and nobody except for Reign and some selected few knew of the skill.

Hell, nobody knew about the improved version.

'Well, this was certainly not what I expected.' Reign told himself as he smiled like a kid who got a new toy. His joy over getting such a boost in those two skills was obvious, and without losing a moment, Reign decided to continue using his rewards.

[ 1X ability improvement card used ]

Ding!

[ The system has found that the player has a total of 4 abilities, all four innate abilities. ]

[ Due to restraints that the player has in 3 of his 4 abilities, only one is viable for improvement in this manner. ]

[ Thanks to the player's high understanding of lightning, the ability is now level 4, with 80% exp filled ]

Reign suddenly found himself staring at the ceiling as he felt a ton of information go into his brain. For an instant, he felt as if he would lose his mind, but nothing bad happened and he was soon back to normal.

Still, he actually managed to learn a lot. The information that flooded into his brain was not just information but also experiences from other beings of the universe that had the same ability as he did. He had learned how to better manipulate the lightning, how to utilize it more effectively to boost his body, and use skills as well.

"Quickly, while the information is still fresh, use the other card!" Aethion suddenly shouted in Reign's head, causing the latter to flinch from the loud noise, but he quickly listened to him.

He knew that if Aethion was shouting and acting like this, it meant that he had truly stumbled upon a great opportunity.

[ 1X opportunity for ability enlightenment used. ]

[ The system has found that the player has a total of 4 abilities, all four innate abilities. ]

[ Due to restraints that the player has in 3 of his 4 abilities, the player can only gain an opportunity to become enlightened in one ability. ]

Ding!

[ The system has found scattered remains of experiences and understanding of the same ability around the player ]

[ The system shall gather them and use them for enlightenment to increase the chance of the player gaining enlightenment ]

"I knew it, it is willing to help you!" Aethion shouted in happiness as Reign stared around him in confusion as he saw thousands of blinking dots suddenly appear before they all started gathering in front of him.

'What, what is this?'

"When you used the previous card, not everything was absorbed by you, otherwise the ability might have reached level 5."

"That always happens, too much can be detrimental at times and your brain simply can't take it all at once."

"But, the system has already shown that it treats you differently than others, and this confirms it as it would definitely not be willing to use what you didn't manage to absorb to help you reach enlightenment and potentially evolve your ability."

"Just relax, this isn't something that you can power through, you need to keep your mind steady when it starts, that is the best way to reach enlightenment."

"Good luck kid."

Suddenly, all the blinking dots had gathered and formed a ball of light in front of Reign that was as big as a tennis ball.

[ The enlightenment opportunity shall now commence. ]

The world suddenly turned blank for Reign who had to close his eyes as a blinding flash of light appeared in front of him. Suddenly, he felt as if he was no longer inside his own room.
