Re: Evolution Online-Chapter 1152 Rummaging through the spoils of war Part 1

Meanwhile…

Back in the forbidden territory, Liam settled comfortably in a small space in between the dense lush trees. There was a steadiness in his action as he withdrew the first spatial ring from the pouch and examined it.

The spatial ring was not bound to anyone. So all he had to do was place a drop of blood and he was immediately able to bind the item and access the things inside.

Liam's hand slightly trembled as he saw a stack of skill books in this first ring. To be able to freely acquire this many skill books from the system shop… He held his breath as he took out all of the skill books one after the other.

[Bone Stitching and Bone Repair] - F Rank, Uncommon Skill, Necromancer Class Specific Skill Book

When flesh fails, bones endure. This skill allows the necromancer to mend and fortify skeletal structures, both in themselves and their undead minions. When activated, fractures heal and bones grow tougher, granting increased resistance to physical damage. The effectiveness of this skill is dependent on the caster's abilities.

[Grave Mist] - E Rank, Uncommon Skill, Necromancer Class Specific Skill Book

Wherever death lingers, so does the fog of the grave. This skill allows the necromancer to summon a mist that obscures the vision of anyone who enters. The potency of the mist depends on the necromancer's abilities.

[Grim Harvest] - D Rank, Uncommon Skill, Necromancer Class Specific Skill Book

All enemies hit by your spells also suffer a passive bleeding effect. The duration of the bleed will depend on the caster's attack power.

[Necrotic Lance] - C Rank, Uncommon Skill, Necromancer Class Specific Skill Book

Harness the power of the dark arts to unleash a devastating lance of necrotic energy. This ethereal bolt is capable of piercing through multiple enemies, draining the life force from each one it passes through. The power of the lance and the amount of life force drained are dependent on the necromancer's abilities. There is also a small chance for necrotic decay to trigger.

[Necrotic Decay] - B Rank, Uncommon Skill, Necromancer Class Specific Skill

When afflicted with the curse of decay, the living cannot continue living. The soul, spirit, and life force of the enemy are constantly drained; The effect depends on your abilities and the enemy's abilities. Cannot be stacked.

[Raise the Dead] - A Rank, Uncommon Skill, Necromancer Class Specific Skill

The death god doesn't want the dead to rest. Command the dead around you to stand up and serve you for all eternity. The number of undead you can wield depends on your abilities.

[Fate Sever] - S Rank, Uncommon Skill, Necromancer Class Specific Skill

The final word in necromantic arts, this skill severs the fragile thread of fate that binds the living to the world. For a brief moment, the target is suspended between life and death. The ultimate outcome—be it instant death or a temporary lifeless state—depends on both the necromancer's skill and the target's resistance to dark magic.

Liam closed his eyes, taking in everything that he saw. It looked like this batch of skill books was his registered class-related skill books. Since only one skill book would be displayed at a time for one rank, there were seven skill books in the pile.

"That merchant gave me an S Rank skill book?" Naturally, this was the first thing Liam noticed. "Fate sever! What a powerful skill!"

This was a necromancer class-specific skill that had immense potential. If a necromancer was strong enough then he could control the temporarily dead being to fight for them.

And if the being was a powerful expert, then they could exhibit the full power in this state which was neither dead nor living but also not undead.

There were obviously many drawbacks and at its worst, it was a skill similar to stun with a very high cool down. However, Liam pondered along other lines.

He couldn't help but wonder how this skill affected one's soul. Could it maybe make the soul vulnerable in some way? He mulled over this skill and its various nuances.

"That fairy must be really desperate to see the elven empire destroyed."

When Eldrin confirmed the system in place for this world and how the shops were exceedingly rare, this was the first thing Liam had thought of.

From the limited information he had about the fairies, he guessed that they shouldn't be too pleased with this situation. He had in fact gambled a lot on this and it seems that he was right on point.

Without holding back, the fairy had even given him an S Rank skill book.

Liam calmly placed all of the skill books aside. He did not plan on learning it just yet. Now that he knew his world still existed, he needed to meticulously plan.

He might have only one shot to enter his world. If he did, he had to face Crawford. There was no other way about it and this time, he had to win no matter what and completely destroy him.

If he could just take care of this one guy, then a decade was more than enough time for him to figure out some ways to deal with the divine temple high-priestess.

Liam looked into the spatial ring and found a few more skill books.

Some were general-type essential utility skill books such as [Blink] and some were even rarer skill books such as [Nether Tempest] and [Solar Flare] that involved combining multiple elemental essences.

These were powerful A Rank skills and Liam immediately had some insight on how to use them to his benefit and get the maximum damage output, perhaps even push them close to a S Rank skill.

Ever since he stepped into this world, thanks to its abundant natural elements, he had been gaining a lot of insights and he was more attuned to the thriving nature around him.

However, he was still far from reaching the pinnacle that he wanted and the main reason for this was his injuries. With this hopefully, he would be able to get an answer to that.

Putting aside the ring with the skill books, Liam took out the next spatial ring to take a look at what was inside.
