Chapter 57: Breakthrough, the First Boss Unit!
"Successfully reached level 9."
Hellscream rose from the boulder, clenched his fist, and felt the increased power within his body.
In addition, he also felt a sense of saturation.
It's as if his body has reached a certain bottleneck, and no matter how many more soul stones he continues to absorb, there will be no improvement.
Clearly, he has reached the first-order limit.
Only by breaking through to the second tier can one break this limit and continue to absorb soul stones to strengthen oneself.
at the same time.
A beam of white light fell from the sky in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair out of a small wooden house.
Your territory building: Campfire has been upgraded to level 5 (maximum level)
[Note: You can continue searching for materials to upgrade the 'Level 5 Campfire' to 'Level 1 Large Campfire'!]
...
"Oh? The campfire is maxed out at level 5?"
Shen Xing looked around and saw that the bonfire in the center of the village had swelled to more than two meters high, surrounded by two rings of black stones.
The firelight illuminated an astonishing 200-meter diameter area!
This is an astonishing figure; the entire territory covers an area of over 30,000 square meters, equivalent to four or five standard football fields joined together.
"Not bad, not bad. Now not only has our activity range greatly increased, but we also have places to cultivate fertile land." Shen Xing was satisfied.
Once the campfire is fully lit, the next stage is the large campfire.
I opened the territory interface and checked what materials were needed for the upgrade.
Materials needed to upgrade the large campfire: 200 Soul Stones, 200 Black Crystals, 10 Darkfire Stones, and 1 Black Spirit Wood.
...
"The other materials are easy to gather; we can collect them in a while. But I've never heard of this last material, [Black Spirit Wood]."
Shen Xing shook his head, deciding to check the trading channel when he had time.
They continued pushing the wheelchair around the perimeter.
The territory seemed cleaner than usual today; the pebbles and debris on the ground had been cleared away, and the cobblestone path was spotless.
At that moment, an orc with jet-black wings on his back and a rooster-comb hairstyle walked over.
"My lord," Hellscream strode forward and said bluntly, "This morning, I successfully leveled up to level 9."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Shen Xing's face.
As expected, the timing was close to what I had predicted.
In this way, I'll be confident of achieving a higher ranking when I go to the Misty Sky Realm tomorrow.
"Very good, now I'll help you complete your transformation and break your limits!"
Shen Xing's heart stirred, and he directly opened the talent bar to use Evolution on Hellroar.
[Should I use 'Sacrifice Evolution' to upgrade the territory orc 'Hellscream' to Boss★?]
[Note: This evolution requires sacrificing 100 Agility.]
...
"A steal? 100 points of agility!?"
Shen Xing's eyes widened, and she even thought she was seeing things.
Keep in mind that he's not considered agile right now, and his other three attributes combined only amount to 86 points!
Sacrificing 100 points at once is like an old lady flying a helicopter into the sky!
Without any hesitation, I clicked "OK".
"Buzz~"
A massive, unprecedented red light descended from the sky, completely engulfing Hellscream.
The orc's expression changed from calm to one of extreme pain, his facial features contorted in agony.
Underneath the green skin, blood vessels bulge, muscles are torn, and bones are deformed.
It was as if his entire body was undergoing an unprecedented reorganization.
"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"
A series of explosions rang out, blood splattered, and Hellroar was instantly transformed into a blood-soaked figure.
Shen Xing watched silently from the side.
As mentioned earlier, the highest rank a common unit like the Orc can be upgraded to is Elite 3.
Now, the [Sacrifice Evolution] directly breaks this limit, which is equivalent to breaking through the shackles of bloodline.
However, similarly, Hellscream must endure this pain of pushing his limits.
"Roar...roar..."
A low growl echoed continuously, like that of a wounded wild beast.
A violent aura emanated from the area.
But the more pain he endured, the clearer Hellroar's eyes became, and the calmer he became.
He gritted his teeth, trying his best to control the violent power within his body.
After a full three minutes, the restless atmosphere finally subsided, and system information flashed before our eyes.
[Evolution successful! Your territory unit 'Hellroar' has successfully broken through its limits and has the potential to become a Boss★!]
[This evolution grants a 30% increase to all attributes, and an additional 100 to Agility!]
[Class: Hell Vanguard → Hell Warrior]
[Activate Skill: Mirror Image]
[Activate Bloodline Skill: Half-Demonization]
...
As the red light slowly dissipated, Hellscream, carrying his battle axe, straightened up from the ground.
Compared to before, his body seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
Standing at a height of two meters, with a pair of black wings on its back that have a wingspan of two meters, it exudes a sense of oppression just by standing there.
His muscles were like cast iron, his thick limbs contained terrifying explosive power, and his whole body was steaming hot.
What's most striking is his hairstyle.
His original rooster-like head has disappeared, replaced by a completely bald head.
Wait, why is he bald?
Shen Xing found it strange. Could this be the legendary case of me becoming bald and stronger?
Putting those details aside for now, let's take a look at Hellscream's newly activated skills.
【Mirror Image: Creates a mirror image to assist in battle. The mirror image inherits 30% of the original's attributes and lasts for 35 seconds.】
Cooldown time: 80 seconds
(Note: One mirror image can be created for every 100 points of Agility. Currently, a maximum of 3 mirror images can be created.)
...
"Huh? It can even create clones, and the clones can even inherit the attributes of the original body."
"This skill is pretty powerful!"
Most importantly, this is also a skill that can be developed.
The higher Hellscream's Agility stat, the more clones he can create.
One can imagine what will happen when his agility reaches a thousand, two thousand, or even higher.
At that time, a single skill can create dozens of clones with attributes. Just thinking about it is exciting!
"Good, good, the Sixth Hokage has a successor."
Shen Xing sighed, then checked the second skill activated by Hellroar, which was also a rather special skill.
[Half-Demonized: Bloodline Skill]
【Effect: Activates the demonic power in your bloodline, putting you into a semi-demon state, increasing all attributes by 40%, and adding effects such as 'Hellfire Burn' and 'Hellfire Splash' to all your attacks.
Duration: 60 seconds; Cooldown: 30 minutes
(Note: In the semi-demonized state, there is a certain probability that you will lose your sanity and become unable to distinguish friend from foe.)
...
"This burst damage skill is incredibly powerful, but it also has significant side effects. It's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary."
Shen Xing gave his evaluation, then opened Hellroar's current attribute panel to check it.
Hell Warrior: Hellroar
[Detailed attributes: Click to view]
...
"You're going a bit too far."
All other attributes are in the 100s, but the agility attribute alone has exceeded 300, which is two or three times that of the other attributes.
One can imagine how terrifying it would be if Hellroar under this attribute were to use Wind Walk.
The orcs training in the distance also sensed the change in Hellscream, and their gazes toward him were filled with admiration, envy, and respect.
Orcs revere the strong, especially those who have grown alongside them and climbed their way to that position.
In their hearts, they have already taken Hellscream as their role model.
