He took a deep breath, absorbed all the souls with a complex feeling that he couldn't tell whether it was joy or something else, and opened the attribute panel.
Colin Black
Occupation: Necromancer
Level: Level 2 [528/1000]
Strength:3.
Agility:4.
Constitution:3.
Energy:8.
Health:35.
Magic:85.
Elemental resistance: Fire 0, Ice 0, Lightning 0, Poison 0.
Free attributes:2.
The level has been increased by 1, and the attributes have all been increased by 1 point compared to before.
With the improvement of soul energy refined by the attribute panel, it can be said that the practice of several days or even dozens of days can be shortened to less than half an hour.
However, despite the outstanding results, Colin did not look very happy.
What is needed to shorten the time of his practice is a human soul, or a human life.
But after killing more than thirty people, he only gained more than 900 experience points, which only allowed him to level up a little more than one level.
So how many souls and lives would he need if he wanted to continue to improve using this method
You have to know that he is only at the lowest level now. The higher he advances, the more experience he will need.
He lit a cigarette with slightly trembling hands, and after puffing away at it for a while, he put it out.
This is a devilish temptation.
But he is not a person who has great self-control in the face of temptation.
I also can't convince myself not to use it when I know I have this ability.
But even so, he still set a bottom line for himself.
Never suck the souls of innocent people or those who have not committed such crimes, even if it means death!
To be honest, this bottom line is a bit idealistic, and he is not sure whether he can stick to it.
However, he wanted to be a person who controlled power rather than a slave controlled by power.
I don't want to see myself slaughtering all living beings for power one day in the future.
"I would rather you didn't have this ability now."
Colin grinned and looked down at the attribute panel.
He now truly understood why those necromancers marked this spell as taboo.
I guess he is worried about the same thing as me.
He shook his head, stopped questioning himself, and turned his thoughts to the current situation.
The improvement after one level is quite big, but considering the super power of thermal weapons, this improvement in attributes is nothing.
After casually adding two points of free attributes to his energy, he opened the skill panel with a comfortable groan.
The mastery of skills is no different from before, but the mana consumption of skills is generally reduced by 10%, and there is an extra skill point.
Colin knew that this was caused by the improvement in magic quality, so he didn't think too much about it and directly added his only skill point to the bone armor.
After a prolonged journey through hell, Colin collapsed on the bed, dizzy and swollen.
He now felt that his head was full of various knowledge such as bone density construction, magic property transformation, and 108 methods of bone construction.
Fortunately, due to the improvement of his energy attribute, his comprehension and endurance abilities were also greatly enhanced, so it was not as difficult as the first time he used skill points.
He adjusted the bone armor spell model in his sea of consciousness according to his current understanding. Soon, the spell description of bone armor on the skill panel changed.
Bone Armor: Level 2.
Learning requirement: Level 1.
Skill Effect: Creates a bone armor that absorbs physical damage.
Defense:6.
Damage absorbed (equivalent to health): 30
Mana cost: 11.
Bone Armor gains bonuses from other skills:
Bone Wall: +15 damage absorption per level.
Bone Prison: +15 damage absorption per level.
The upgraded bone armor has one point higher in defense and ten points higher in damage absorption, while the mana consumption remains the same as before.
Of course, the mana consumption should be improved in essence, but due to the improvement of mana quality, the amount of mana consumption has been reduced.
He summoned a new version of the bone armor in the room, and suddenly, he was covered with a somewhat strange bone armor.
Unlike in the beginning when he didn't understand much and set the appearance of the bone armor to be majestic and domineering, after who knows how many hours of deep torture... cough, after learning.
In addition to increasing the strength and toughness of the spell model itself, he also made modifications to the shape of the bone armor as much as possible.
First of all, the overall shape is streamlined.
In order to maximize the chance of the bone armor protecting him while causing the least damage, this was the shape that could best defend against arrows that he had found from the thousands of bone armor spell essences in his inherited memory.
Secondly, the head and the front and back chest are thickened.
Although this approach will inevitably lead to the weakening of defenses in other places, it is also the most effective way to save your life.
As long as he is still alive, no matter what kind of injuries his body suffers, he is confident that he can recover successfully.
After walking back and forth in the room twice, Colin pursed his lips as he looked at his image in the mirror.
"It's a bit ugly... Never mind, life is the most important!"
With a slight sigh, he summoned Fang to attack the bone armor. After roughly calculating the maximum attack that the bone armor could currently withstand, he waved his hand to cancel the summoning.
With the current defense, although it still cannot ignore attacks like rifles, it is much stronger than before.
And this is enough for now. He is not the kind of person who can endure being bullied!
He looked up at the sun gradually setting outside the window, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
…
…
"Kill him! Kill this demon!"
“… You losers, aim and shoot! Aim!”
“… He’s too fast! We’re no match for him!”
“… I called to let you know! When will the reinforcements come back? Reinforcements!”
The roar sounded from inside the factory on the edge of the city.
Colin, wearing bone armor, kept shuttling between bullets, wiping out the enemy's lives with the most efficient actions.
The power of these three points made his movement speed far beyond that of ordinary people, and he was like a charging tank when he ran.
Four points of agility allow him to notice every detail that should be noticed in this chaotic battlefield, and always lock onto the enemy that poses the greatest threat to him at the first opportunity.
The energy from eleven o'clock kept his brain in the clearest state at all times and in full control of his body, so that every action that the brain thought of was perfectly executed by the body.
Putting all these together, he is like a sophisticated killing machine, even though he has not systematically learned how to kill people efficiently.
He jumped to three meters, reached out to grab the chandelier, used the force to reach the second floor, and killed the last member who escaped here with magic fang.
Smelling the strong smell of blood filling the room, he began to clean up the battlefield in silence.
This is a drug manufacturing den belonging to Jin Bing, and it is also the fifth base belonging to Jin Bing that he has destroyed tonight.
After stuffing all the valuables into the storage space, he sprinkled gasoline in the factory and threw the lighter on top.
The flames rose up instantly.
Colin walked out of the factory, looked at the dazzling flames, took off his cracked bone armor, and disappeared into the night.
He wasn't going to proceed any further.
One reason was that it was almost dawn, and another reason was that his backpack, including the space inside the Horadric Cube, was almost full of seized supplies.
But the most important thing is that the magic power in his body has become very thin.
It would be too dangerous to do it again.
Returned to the hotel secretly.
After questioning the last soul, Colin felt slightly disappointed.
No one in the stronghold he finally destroyed knew Jin Bing's location.
After today, it will be extremely difficult to find Jin Bing, who is already on alert.
Even, when there is no chance.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket, thought for a moment, and didn't call Joseph.
His identity will definitely not be hidden during Jin Bing's investigation, maybe tomorrow, maybe the next moment.
And Joseph, his best friend, will inevitably be used as a card by Kingpin against him.
To be honest, he didn't have a good solution to this problem, because no matter where he hid Joseph or sent him, Kingpin's power could easily find out where he was hiding and continue to use him to threaten him.
So he simply gave up protecting Joseph.
Of course, giving up protection does not mean giving up on Joseph. He is just considering using another way to solve this trouble.
It might be dangerous, and it might cause Joseph to suffer.
But this was the only way he could think of to resolve the incident while keeping himself free.
More than that, he could only apologize to Joseph afterwards.
As for surrendering like Jin Bing in exchange for safety and abundant resources
He is the man who is ready to fight against Thanos and his space fleet!
A gangster boss who can only bully others on the surface of the planet is nothing!
Let me first talk about the book’s defense settings.
First of all, defense does not mean physical immunity. Take the protagonist's current bone armor as an example. Even if the defense reaches six points and the damage absorption reaches thirty points, even if it is punched by an ordinary person, it will still cause damage to the bone armor. Even if the damage is only 0.000001, theoretically, one hundred million consecutive punches can still break the protagonist's bone armor.
As for firearms, one bullet from a rifle can deal 0.3 damage, and 100 rifle bullets can completely break the armor. With the firing rate of a rifle, this only takes a few dozen seconds, and it's just one person and one gun.
Therefore, it is no problem for the protagonist to fight against a mob, those with good coordination and accurate shooting skills are far from being as strong as he appears now.
Let’s talk about the description of the protagonist learning spells in this chapter.
It's not just to increase the word count, but mainly to show that the protagonist is not just obsessed with the use of spells, but understands the knowledge behind the spells, and that the protagonist can make some changes to the spells according to needs, thus having greater flexibility.
Okay, that’s all I have to say. There is no need to worry about the power system collapsing. I have made the plot outline reach the level of 700,000 to 800,000 words. The protagonist will have a huge power increase later, but even so, he is far from invincible under the system of modern society.
PS: The trial push will be this weekend, and the results of the trial push will directly determine the future recommendation level of this book, so please recommend it! ! ! !
Xianyu would like to express his gratitude here! ! ! !
