Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons
Chapter 868 - 750: So That’s How It Is
Looking at the shield on the table with the Lamp Mark.
Longbei curiously picked it up and examined it from all sides, but without the skill of appraisal, he couldn't discern anything special.
Aside from the newly added patterns on it.
"Hey buddy, what's your new skill? I can't see any difference in this shield," he asked.
Hearing Longbei's words, Kane smiled and took the shield from his hand.
He appraised it himself.
Sure enough, a new entry appeared on the shield, the result of his own Blessing.
"No, it has already changed. You just need to infuse it with Magic Power to feel its transformation," Kane explained, handing the shield back.
After listening to Kane's explanation, Longbei nodded. He took the shield in his left hand.
Magic Power flowed from his hand into the shield, and the Lamp Mark on it flickered slightly.
In an instant, the shield communicated its information back to him. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"Is this... how you use it?"
Longbei said uncertainly, then the round shield in his hand began to change.
The surface and internal materials started overlapping and transforming.
It condensed inward, expanding outward on both sides.
In less than a second, the round shield transformed into a long, narrow arm shield fitting to Longbei's arm.
Then, under Longbei's control, it changed again.
This time it transformed directly into a wide, sharp blade.
The manner of transformation was very much like when Kane used his Origin Skills to condense objects.
Specifically, it was somewhat like Kane's Golden Weapon and Longbei's Golden Shield.
It could transform in shape, yet seemed much freer than the former two.
Kreya, who was watching nearby, asked uncertainly, "Did you add a feature of your Origin Skills to this equipment?"
"Smart, just as you thought. I indeed infused a feature of my Origin Skills into this shield," Kane replied to Kreya.
What the Origin Skills can bestow is what Kane possesses.
For example, he can add certain traits of his Origin Skills to others or objects through Blessing.
This doesn't harm him in any way but requires a specific amount of Magic Stones.
The need for Magic Stones arises because Kane hasn't truly entered the Divine Domain yet.
He has not reached the three colors or climbed the Stairs to Divinity.
So the cost must be borne by the Magic Stones.
This shows that the correct timing for using this skill should be at the stage of the three colors, and not at the current Golden level.
He can also add certain physical attributes to equipment.
Such equipment would then feature terms like increased strength, enhanced Magic Power, etc.
The extent of increase depends on how much energy the equipment can handle and how many Magic Stones Kane is willing to spend.
This is the Blessing.
A method to crazily enhance the power of those in the lower ranks.
Just like Kane in his copper phase, he completely lacks a copper mode and can bless an Explorer's entire set of equipment.
With this set of equipment, this Explorer in the copper phase is virtually unstoppable.
Becoming an invincible entity.
After some thought, Kane held a Silver Magic Stone.
The Magic Stone disappeared in his hand, melding into it, and Kane realized that what he intended to bestow required more than just one Silver Magic Stone.
Upon some simple calculation, Kane took out two more Silver Magic Stones, which he then melded into his palm.
Then, he touched the Silver bracelet with his finger.
With the infusion of Blessing,
a Lamp Mark appeared on the Silver bracelet.
This time Kane downgraded his Magic Power Library skill to the Silver phase and melded it into the bracelet.
He then reassessed the bracelet.
Sure enough, a new entry appeared, no different from that of the shield.
[Blessing: Magic Power Reserve] (Blessing Source: Kane Lafray).
Seeing this entry, Kane thought for a moment and made a change.
(Blessing Source: King of Platinum)
It was actually feasible; if he didn't change it, it would default to his own name.
This means Kane can indirectly allow others to use the skills he learned or the Skill Stones he possesses through the blessing of equipment.
Simply possessing this equipment allows one to use the Blessing and inherently possess the skill.
This implies that if the Blessing were granted to a person, the same effect could occur.
The specific limitations remain unknown.
Moreover, bestowing skills this way does not cause Kane to lose his own skills.
However, everyone's capacity is limited. For instance, besides Kane, Kreya and others have only one Skill Grid.
But they can equip many pieces of equipment to gain additional skills.
This is definitely a loophole that can be exploited.
The cost, however, is significant. Just the Silver phase Magic Power Reserve cost three Silver Magic Stones.
Some more powerful skills might cost far more than just three Silver Magic Stones.
With increasing skill power, the cost to embed them into equipment rises.
One must also consider if the equipment's strength can withstand it.
No matter the constraints, it is undoubtedly useful.
Now it's time to test the Golden phase.
Kane picked up a Golden Magic Stone.
The Golden Equipment on the table, a test piece made of Steel Armor, was a Battle Saber.
As the Golden Magic Stone disappeared, energy surged into Kane's hand.
He felt the energy in his hand.
It's impossible to grant this equipment with golden-level skills due to insufficient energy, far from enough.
Better-quality skills can't be borne by this equipment at all.
After all, this equipment is merely at the golden stage, with attributes considered ordinary or even slightly lower.
It's just a piece of steel armor crafted as an early practice.
Feeling the magic power in his hand, Kane could only add some attributes to this equipment, and some expansions of origin skills.
Kane could even split some golden skill features to grant this equipment.
For example, infusing the divine power of Radiant Balance's divine power into it, transforming it into a piece of Holy Light Divine Power equipment.
Simultaneously, he can also detail some of his so-called rules to grant.
There are many things that can be done, but none are sufficient to significantly enhance the power of this battle saber.
It is a limited enhancement.
The main reason is that the energy of a golden magic stone is not enough.
But even Kane himself does not have enough golden magic stones, naturally, it can't be used for such tasks.
So Kane did not use golden-level equipment blessings but let the golden-level energy stay on his right hand.
Understanding is basically enough; there's no need to truly bless.
After testing equipment blessings, it's time to use blessings on life.
Kane thought and swung his arm.
Then, a flash appeared before the crowd, and a Moon's Child was transported from the Platinum Palace.
The Moon's Child, suddenly seeing the surroundings drastically change, immediately entered a combat state.
Then, seeing Kane and others, immediately withdrew from the state and half-kneeled in front of Kane.
"Your Majesty."
"Sorry for teleporting you here abruptly, mainly because there's a matter I need your assistance with."
Upon hearing Kane's words, the Moon's Child immediately nodded: "It's my honor to help Your Majesty."
"That's good, stand up, and close your eyes to feel."
As he spoke, Kane gathered the energy of the Silver Magic Stone into his left hand.
Contemplating the blessing he would bestow upon her.
The same silver stage magic power reserve, but only two Silver Magic Stones are needed for blessing this Moon's Child in front.
That's one less than needed for blessing equipment, why is that?
Kane carefully felt.
Ah, just like he had thought, a life's capacity is equally limited.
Similar to Kreya and their skill grid, these lives generally can only exist with one skill stone.
And there are no options for learning, that is, only one chance.
Once blessed, unless the grateful strength reaches a certain level, otherwise the blessing cannot be retrieved.
It's not possible to bless new skills again.
Naturally, the consumption would be less than equipment.
If there is only one chance, one cannot rashly grant others; careful consideration is necessary.
After all, each Moon's Child has the potential to ascend to golden level; rashly granting a silver skill occupies a precious skill grid, resulting in a loss of her combat power, right?
Thinking thus, Kane touched the head of the Moon's Child in front and said, "Thank you for your help, I now understand."
"Is that all, Your Majesty?"
"That's all, alright, get ready, I'll teleport you back."
"Okay."
With a wave of Kane's hand, the Moon's Child in front disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this scene, Kreya next to him asked: "Can you also add those attributes you just added to the equipment to these Moon's Children? Like granting us skill stones through rituals?"
Kane nodded: "That's right, it's almost like that, but the items that can be granted are more detailed, and the cost is higher."
Indeed, as he said, the cost is indeed quite significant, and only when the stage is reached and magic stones are sufficient, freedom is attained.
Only then can one be so lavish.
Now it feels like blessing at the golden level is not very worthwhile, whereas below the golden level, Kane has sufficient Silver Magic Stones, making it extremely worthwhile.
But the problem is Kane doesn't feel this skill can bring him any improvement.
Nor does he sense any difference in this skill compared to others; based on current experience, it's definitely not as good as Divine Power, Divine Gaze, or Dragon Bloodline.
More likely to enhance Kane's subordinates, strengthen the guild members' combat power.
After all, with such blessings, Kane adds some skills to the equipment and then hands them to guild members.
They then equip these on themselves, doubling the strength of these silver-level members without any issue.
The golden-tier blessings attached to his equipment genuinely significantly strengthen Kane's combat power.
But the problem is Kane's magic stones cannot support it at all now.
Thinking this way, it's not the problem of the skills, rather his own problem.
If he had enough golden magic stones, adding a Magic Chalice or Magic Power Reserve to his golden equipment.
Thinking like this…
…so poor.
Looking at the silver energy in his left hand, and golden energy in his right.
Can't let it go to waste, right?
Must experiment, need to use golden-tier magic stones to carry out the blessings.
That is to bless the entire environment.
This covers a broad area; a room could be considered an environment.
A world can also be considered an environment.
Just depends on Kane's energy, specifically how much there is.
Thinking about it, Kane directly created a 10-square-meter, three-meter-high small room on the spot.
Then said to Kreya and others behind him: "Wait outside, I'll go in to test the skills."
Having said that, Kane walked in alone.
After all, Kane also doesn't know if the environmental blessing would cause any major changes.
So it's better to enter by himself.
But the material of the wall was changed to transparent, allowing Kreya and the others to see the situation inside.
