Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Star Sculpt II Part 1
----------
Reji is currently focusing on renovating the Count Manor, not only to establish a demon stronghold, but also to fulfill the "Star Sculpt" condition of his Demon King career path.
From the previous example of the "Skeleton King," it can be seen that level is not everything.
The Lich and the Skeleton Dragon are actually the same as the Skeleton King, both are seventh-tier, and both belong to the "Undead" career path. However, it is clear that in terms of strength and intelligence, the former are much stronger than the latter.
This is the difference brought about by "Star Sculpt."
To put it simply, the Skeleton King is like a blank slate, while the Lich and Skeleton Dragon with multiple "Star Sculpt" are endowed with various talents and blessings. It is obvious that a super soldier or hero fighting alone would have no suspense.
Speaking of Reji himself, he has been in the Chaos Rift for only a day and a half since being summoned by the demon race, and he has already jumped from level 1 to level 29, just a little bit away from level 30.
In the game "Magic Chronicles" even as a player, this is impossible, as if a modifier has been opened.
This is the huge difference brought about by Reji\'s Demon King career path.
Even just lighting up the effect of "Star Sculpt I" which multiplies all basic rewards by a hundred, has such benefits. Reji wants to improve quickly, so he must light up the remaining "Star Sculpt" as soon as possible.
For example, now:
[Star Sculpt II - King\'s Rise (Can be activated)]
[Activation Condition: Own a "stronghold level" demon territory and gain at least one disciple\'s "deadly loyalty"]
[Territory: Ilinor - Royal City - Queen\'s District - Vedler Count Manor - Completed]
[Current number of disciples with "deadly loyalty": (2/1) - Completed]
[Activation Effect: Demon King, standing above all - you ignore all "skill/item" "learning/use" conditions]
There are Lich maids and Skeleton Dragon sculptures.
All human servants in the manor are controlled by the Soul Bell.
From the current "career path" panel, this Count Manor already meets the criteria for a "demon stronghold," so Reji has completed the conditions.
Reji immediately click [activate].
In an instant, his consciousness seemed to leave his body, and his soul came to the vast and boundless universe.
The universe is not filled with starlight, but is pitch black, like a deep forest at night.
There are even many chaotic currents mixed in.
This is like every living being, at the moment of birth, is in a state of chaos and confusion. In order not to be lost in the darkness, one must firmly establish a path and build one\'s own destiny.
This is the origin of the "career path."
Now, there are many fragments under Reji\'s feet, and each fragment reflects the demons, whether it is the invasion war, the prosperity of the tribe, or the history of the past.
This is the career path of the "Demon King."
Bearing the past, present, and future of the demon race.
At the starting point of this destiny, a star has been lit and is rotating around Reji, helping him dispel the darkness and resist the chaotic currents.
Under the protection of this star, Reji leaves the starting point and continues to move forward on the career path. There, the second star that was originally shrouded in darkness and dim, is now emitting a dazzling light, as if waiting for and welcoming Reji\'s arrival.
As Reji approaches, this star immediately turns into a stream of light and, like the first one, surrounds Reji, illuminating the way forward and clearing all obstacles on the road, allowing Reji to continue on this "career path."
With each step Reji takes, the demon race fragments under his feet surge into his body.
These fragments contain the ancient "spell" knowledge that the demon race has passed down for countless tens of thousands of years and the experience and knowledge of previous Demon Kings regarding various "rare items." Now, they are all being absorbed and digested by Reji, becoming completely his own memory.
This feeling is like the original Reji, as a "player," may only know the names of "skills" and "items" and their effects.
But now, he is like being enlightened, and he clearly understands the principles, operation, and even the deeper composition of these "skills" and "items," as if he has become a master of spells and items who knows everything.
This is the effect of "Star Sculpt II" - ignoring any "skills/items" "learning/using" conditions.
It should be noted that this is not given by the "system" to Reji.
The function of the system is actually equivalent to a translator, assisting Reji in understanding more simply and intuitively the demon heritage he has received and how to obtain more heritage.
This wonderful feeling made Reji forget to return and drove him to continue exploring until he encountered darkness and chaotic currents in front of him, and he came to his senses and realized that he had reached the limit of "Star Sculpt II."
In order to continue advancing on the career path, he would have to wait until he lit up "Star Sculpt III."
Although Reji was a little regretful, he did not linger too much. He believed that these were all just a matter of time, and he quickly exited the sea of consciousness.
After successfully activating the "Star Sculpt II," when Reji closed his eyes and recalled the previous Lich and Skeleton Dragon, it was completely different.
It was as if he could see the macro from the micro, and based on the memory of the sorcerer\'s summoning at that time, Reji felt that he had analyzed these two powerful undead and mastered their summoning methods.
Correspondingly, an eighth-tier purple spell appeared in his character panel\'s skill column.
[Lich Dragon Spell]
[Basic Consumption: 4600 Mana]
[Advance Consumption: 60231-? Mana/Equivalent Mana Value of Undead]
[Effect: According to the consumed Mana value, summon a Skeleton Dragon and a Lich at the same time. The quality of the Skeleton Dragon/Lich is determined by the Mana consumption.]
\'Heh Not bad\'
An eighth-tier spell usually requires at least level 70 to learn in the game, but now he, a level 29 newbie, has a purple spell directly added to his skill column. This is too unreasonable.
This is completely a cheat.
Reji was excited and had mastered the skill, but when he excitedly tried to use it, he got the prompt
[Insufficient Mana]
