NOVEL WEB Chapter 173: Chapter 172: Unique Skill: Voidless · God-Slaying Curse!
SWOOSH, SWOOSH, SWOOSH!
Three consecutive beams of golden light fell from above Zhang Yue's head.
With the rewards from the mission, Zhang Yue's level skyrocketed from level 40 to level 43 in an instant.
The SSS-level rewards were heart-racing, and even Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel a deep sense of shock.
In the Otherworld, rare skills hold value far beyond ordinary skills. Any random rare skill book would have a starting market value of millions, often priceless and hard to obtain.
As for unique skills, their value surpasses rare skills by more than tenfold.
This is no exaggeration.
Every unique skill exists as the only one in the entire Otherworld, with extremely high power levels.
Currently, across the entire world, the number of professionals possessing unique skills does not exceed three digits.
What's more, the unique skill book Zhang Yue had obtained was SSS-level from the very beginning, with no learning requirements!
This meant he could learn it even at his current level 43, in a second-tier state.
Under normal circumstances, professionals would need to reach level 120 and their fourth tier to upgrade a skill to SSS-level.
Zhang Yue retrieved the skill book from his inventory.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Voidless · God-Slaying Curse] (Unique Skill)
Grade: SSS-level
Skill Effect: Harness the power of heaven and earth to summon a forbidden curse, dealing 900% magic damage to a single target.
Special Effect 1: If this skill kills the target, the cooldown is immediately reset, and the mana cost for the next use is reduced by 70%.
Special Effect 2: If this skill fails to kill the target, the damage for the next use against the same target increases by 30% based on the previous base damage. This effect can stack infinitely until the target is killed.
Cooldown: 9 seconds
Mana Cost: 480 points
Usable by: Mage, Beast Tamer
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
From what Zhang Yue knew, even the highest single-target burst skill of mages, the Lightning Strike, only had a damage coefficient of 70% at SSS-level.
This God-Slaying Curse surpassed Lightning Strike's damage by 200%, and that wasn't even the most powerful aspect of it. Its true strength lay in its two special effects.
Killing resets cooldown.
Damage to the same target stacks infinitely.
No wonder not even the Asura of the previous era had the chance to obtain a unique skill like this.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh in amazement, "This is ridiculously strong."
Without hesitation, Zhang Yue immediately learned this SSS-level unique skill, worth at least over a billion on the market.
For Zhang Yue, his goal was not money but power.
Once he had power, wealth and status would come naturally.
To be honest, this single skill book alone was enough to justify the SSS-level reward.
Next, Zhang Yue shifted his attention to the other two items.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Void Set] (Level 45, 7-Star Complete Set)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
How should its value be defined?
"It's said that the set of 6-star War God gear crafted for Martial Saint by the Glory Guild was valued at over 100 million."
Ouyang Ling'er, reading through the information, analyzed, "For levels below 50, ordinary professionals can only access 5-star equipment at most. Beyond that, 6-star gear is extremely rare. Only when reaching levels 60 to 70 do professionals gradually come into contact with 7-star quality gear."
After hearing Ouyang Ling'er's analysis, Ning Tiantian looked at the set in Zhang Yue's hands, her round eyes full of surprise, her mouth wide open, "So this set of equipment from Brother Zhang Yue is 15 to 25 levels ahead of everyone else…"
"Not just that. This level gap applies to ordinary equipment," Tian Yu added thoughtfully, "Zhang Yue's set is a 7-star set."
"Even if it has only basic attributes, its market value is estimated to be at least 500 million."
As soon as Tian Yu finished speaking, everyone present gasped audibly.
Zhang Yue's attention, however, was focused on the other item.
To Zhang Yue, that item was far more valuable than the Void Set!
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Void Stone] (Legendary Treasure)
Type: Auxiliary
Effect 1: +1 pet battle slot.
Effect 2: -30% experience required for all pets to level up.
Effect 3: The highest-quality pet currently owned increases its quality by one grade.
Description: A divine stone born from the void, containing infinite holy power...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Under normal circumstances, Beast Tamers need to reach level 70 and their third tier to unlock their third pet battle slot.
Necromancers are no exception.
This Void Stone not only unlocked an additional pet battle slot in advance but also improved one pet's quality.
"No wonder it's a legendary treasure." Zhang Yue marveled. Compared to the mythical treasure Supreme Oracle he obtained in his previous life after defeating the ninth-tier beast tide, this was only slightly inferior.
The Void Stone took effect as soon as it was bound. Zhang Yue immediately bound it to himself.
[Ding~ The Void Stone effect has activated: Congratulations, you have unlocked a third pet battle slot, and all pet experience requirements have decreased by 30% (This effect stacks with Necromancer class effects; your pets now require 80% less experience to level up)]
[Ding~ The system has detected your highest-quality pet as [Twelve-Winged Extinction Black Dragon] (Epic). The Void Stone effect has activated: Congratulations, your Epic pet Twelve-Winged Extinction Black Dragon has evolved into a Legendary pet, Twenty-Four-Winged Extinction Black Dragon] [T/N: Fu*k yeah]
ROAR—
A deafening roar shook the heavens. Without any summoning from its master, the Extinction Black Dragon tore through space on its own, leaping out from a rift above Zhang Yue's head.
Its size grew instantly, and its aura surged. As it appeared above City of Ice & Snow with an overwhelming presence, countless professionals in the city turned their attention to it in shock.
"Holy crap! How did the Dark God Dragon boss from the fourth world's Dragon Valley end up in the sixth world?"
"Northern Darkness has a fish called Kun, but Kun is too big to fit in a pot. Oops, wrong place…"
Zhang Yue looked at the Extinction Black Dragon, now evolved from Epic to Legendary.
Not only had all its attributes seen a significant increase, but its three special effects had all upgraded from Lv3 to Lv4.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Body of Extinction] (Lv4): Increases attack speed by 70% and normal attack damage by 80%.
[Destroy Heaven and Earth] (Lv4): Gains a 25% damage boost for ten minutes with every enemy killed, stacking up to five times.
[Black Dragon Bloodline] (Lv4): Increases all attributes by 70%.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Additionally, it had gained a new special effect:
[Dark Fury] (Lv4): Increases critical hit rate by 40% and critical hit damage by 80% (effective only for normal attacks).
As the descendant of the fourth world's dark dragon progenitor, the Extinction Black Dragon's abilities far surpassed those of regular Legendary pets.
It was on the same level as the Dark Skeleton King, which had been converted from a boss.
The Skeleton King served as the tank, and the Extinction Black Dragon was the AD carry.
Zhang Yue now planned to raise an AP pet next, creating a magical artillery unit. [T/N: AD means Attack Damage and AP means Ability Power(magical) in MOBA terms]
Against sufficient explosive power, even the strongest enemies would be like fleeting clouds.
Of course, this depended on having a suitable choice.
He would rather go without than settle for less.
The next pet had to be on par with the Skeleton King and the Extinction Black Dragon.
This time, Zhang Yue had made up for a regret from his previous life.
Now, he could prepare to challenge the sixth-world boss and set his sights on the seventh world.
"Let's test it out on a world boss."
Looking at the SSS-level unique skill [Voidless · God-Slaying Curse] in his skill list, Zhang Yue murmured, "That'll do."
