With the emergence of the new class,
Lyle looked at the class's passive skill and felt a momentary blank. It was a passive skill he truly didn't know how to describe.
It felt rather useless.
"Perhaps it's related to the class structure of this system." Lyle shook his head slightly, shifting his attention to the class skill he cared about.
If he didn't have to master "Shaman Mentor" to learn this class's skills, he wouldn't want to waste this 1 level of fault tolerance.
Skill: Totem Possession Cost: 3/day — No skill description:
Transforms the soul of an animal or monster into a totem tattoo, branding it onto one of five locations on one's body (legs, back, chest, hands, head).
Depending on the branded totem, a certain amount of basic attribute enhancement is added. During this process, one can choose the totem's power—Physical Enhancement / Feat Acquisition.
PS: Physical Enhancement: When choosing Physical Enhancement, totems can be activated. Activating one totem allows selective enhancement of a specific basic attribute. Up to five consecutive enhancements can be performed at once (3/day).
PS: Feat Acquisition: When choosing Feat Acquisition, one can exercise a certain innate ability that the totem creature possessed in life (usage count is related to the creature's own usage count).
Lyle blinked. It was his first time seeing a class skill with so much descriptive information. He read it several times before fully understanding the skill.
In most games, the Shaman class has always been relatively versatile, capable of both melee and ranged combat,
and able to provide support and healing.
However, in most cases within the Shaman system, players generally choose the magic-oriented or support-oriented path.
A Shaman class like Jieruo, who exhibited a completely combat-oriented style, was quite rare.
After reading the description of "Totem Possession,"
Lyle finally understood why Jieruo, after activating all his totems, would erupt with strength far exceeding his own level.
However!
What surprised Lyle even more was that this skill actually offered different combat styles.
Physical Enhancement!
Feat Acquisition!
These were practically choices between two different systems!
"Feat Acquisition — exercising some ability of a beast or monster?"
Lyle murmured softly, a look of surprise and contemplation in his eyes.
"Physical Enhancement" needed no further explanation; the combat style displayed by Jieruo, the "Fighting Ghost," was the best proof.
As for "Feat Acquisition," no matter how one looked at it, in the game "YGGDRASIL," it was a highly versatile and diverse combat style.
"It feels a bit similar to the abilities of a Forest Priest." Lyle mused thoughtfully.
He re-examined the "Shaman Mentor" class.
The more Lyle looked, the more he realized that this intermediate class was very likely a core class within the Shaman system.
And the two different combat styles displayed by "Totem Possession" were inextricably linked to subsequent classes.
For a moment,
Lyle felt like he had struck gold.
Lyle didn't know if the upper limit of this skill was high, but its lower limit was definitely not low. The basic attribute bonuses from the totems alone made it worthwhile.
"Only by actually using this class can I fully understand the specific abilities of 'Feat Acquisition'."
Lyle suppressed his various thoughts and continued to scroll through his attribute panel, quickly finding a certain spell.
Skill: Fly (Tier 3)
Cost: 15MP
Description: Releases magic power to envelop oneself, granting the user the ability to fly. Can also be used on others.
This magic was naturally acquired from Divanok, the "Undead King."
Although Lyle could transform into a flying beast or monster through "Wild Shape," it wasn't true flight after all.
[Skill Points: 39]
Originally 40 skill points, three were spent to master the "Shaman Mentor" class. Due to leveling up once, he gained three more skill points.
"It's not easy to approach Azure Rose right now."
Lyle glanced out the window, his gaze shifting slightly: "It's time to leave."
According to his understanding,
the popular adventurer team "Azure Rose" had already completed their mission and returned, and should be back in the capital in a few days.
However,
Lyle temporarily had no intention of making contact. It wasn't that he couldn't wait a few days, but rather he suddenly remembered something.
Besides the members present at the beginning of the story, there was actually one more member of "Azure Rose": Rigrit, the "Necromancer," one of the legendary Thirteen Heroes.
A living legend!
She could be said to be one of the earliest members to join Azure Rose. Lyle highly suspected that Rigrit joined "Azure Rose" possibly because of Lajius's family.
Simply put,
it was to protect Lajius, who had impulsively formed an adventurer team at the time.
Rigrit not only had a secret connection with the Platinum Dragon King, but as one of the former Thirteen Heroes, she was also one of the few individuals who clearly knew of the existence of "Players."
In short,
this person posed a considerable danger to Lyle at the moment.
Lyle was not sure if Rigrit had already left "Azure Rose."
According to his understanding,
there were two relatively clear points when Rigrit left "Azure Rose." One was when she found Evileye,
and after the joint team defeated Evileye, she joined "Azure Rose" in her place.
The other point was Gazef's Ring of Avarice, which Rigrit had given to Gazef.
Of these two points,
Lyle couldn't temporarily confirm whether Evileye had already joined "Azure Rose," but he could confirm another thing: Gazef did not yet possess the Ring of Avarice.
As for
the upcoming battle between Renners and Gazef, Lyle had no interest in watching.
Regardless of the outcome of the battle, the objective would be achieved.
The next Fire Moon.
On September 14th, Imina arrived at the door of Lyle's room and waited for a while. Seeing no movement inside, she couldn't help but raise her hand and knock on the door.
"What's going on?"
Imina hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door open and walked in.
Only then did she realize that Lyle and the little evil spirit dog were long gone from the room.
"That scoundrel!"
"He just dumped a pile of things on me!" Imina stomped her foot in anger.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Footsteps echoed from the stairwell.
Imina clearly felt the atmosphere throughout the inn suddenly quiet down. Her expression changed slightly,
and she quickly walked out of the room.
She saw three strangely dressed, dangerous-looking figures coming up from the stairs.
When these three saw the Half-Elf Imina, they clearly showed expressions of surprise and sudden realization.
"Who are you?!"
Imina watched the three, carefully stepping back.
"Miss 'Thousand Killings,' I am Ront of the Dunes." "Illusion Demon" Ront of the Dunes stepped forward first, speaking with a somewhat fawning tone.
"Peshurian."
"Edstren."
Immediately following, the other two voices sounded.
