Chapter 299: Ancient Curse 183

The talent isn’t enough to enhance.

This system notification nearly gave Dean McKenzie a heart attack!

Isn’t this just dangling a carrot in front of someone?

Wait, what exactly is this so-called enhancement?

Also, is the skill level capped at level 12?

Can it not exceed level 15?

What would happen if the skill level surpasses 15?”

Dean McKenzie was extremely curious about this.

He quickly looked over his own skills.

It seems to be the case.

After his skills reached level 15, the increase from the equipment seemed to become ineffective.

Even the skill enhancement of fLich King’s Wrath J is capped at level 15!

”Wait, the effect 4 of Lich King’s Wrath doesn’t seem to limit the skill level cap. Theoretically, after activating fLich King’s Wrath] , shouldn’t the Corpse Explosion Skill be able to break through level 15?”

As Dean McKenzie spoke, he looked over at his Corpse Explosion Skill.

This skill had a base level of 1.

Lich King’s Wrath added 1, Wizard’s Knowledge Hat added 1, and activating

Lich King’s Wrath increased it by 10 for a total level of 13.

It’s still one level short of the 16 Dean McKenzie wants.

But this problem isn’t a big deal for Dean McKenzie.

Dean had just plundered the Giant Bear Tribe’s lair and found two golden equipment items of a fifth-turn Mage within its confines.

Equipment: Magic Power

Quality: Gold

Level: 120

Effect 1: Increases basic spiritual power by 1.3,

Effect 2: Skill level +1 (up to level 10)

Equipment: Skill Necklace

Quality: Gold

Level: 120

Effect 1: Increases skill effect by fifty percent

Effect 2: Skill level +2 (up to level 10)

After equipping these two items, Dean looked at his skill (Corpse Explosion] and found that its level had reached level 6.

The critical moment has arrived.

To test out his idea, Dean left the Land of Bone, and had Old Four put the

(Guardian Shield] on a poor skeleton.

Next, Dean threw a corpse next to the skeleton.

At the same time, Dean activated (Lich King’s Wrath] I

A surge of power enveloped Dean’s body and the system notification refreshed. [You have activated fLich King’s Wrath] . Your skill (Corpse Explosion] has increased by 10 levels and is now level 16!]

Seeing this system notification, Dean was both shocked and ecstatic. He immediately checked the attributes of the Corpse Explosion Skill.

Skill: Corpse Explosion (Enhanced) (Seven-turn)

Level: 16

Mana Consumption: 15 million

Effect: Use on a corpse to inflict damage equal to the sum of the four-dimensional attributes and Spirit/Mana values of the corpse in life plus the caster’s Spirit multiplied by 60 to everything within 1000 meters, ps: Attack range reduces by twenty percent for each additional 1000 meters of range

Looking at the words “Enhanced” and “Seven-turn” on the attribute screen,

Dean’s eyes lit up.

Afterwards, Dean conjured a Corpse Explosion Skill.

The corpse he threw exploded on the spot, and the unfortunate skeleton protected by Old Four’s Guardian Shield was shattered at once.

Even Old Four was gravely injured by the backlash.

In one hit, Dean experienced the terrifying power of the enhanced version of the Corpse Explosion Skill.

Without a doubt, Dean’s attack just now was definitely a Seven-turn level attack, capable of causing damage to a Seven-turn entity.

“That body I threw was just a regular six-turn skeleton corpse. If I were to use Carl’s corpse, I would probably level the entire Giant Bear Tribe in a single strike.”

Dean, having tested out the strength of the Corpse Explosion, couldn’t help but feel both shocked and ecstatic.

However, before Dean could celebrate for too long, two pieces of equipment ‘snap’ and shattered.

[Your equipment fSkill Necklace] and (Magic Power] are destroyed due to overload!]

Hearing this system notification, the smile fell from Dean’s face.

“The skill is strong, but the consumption is not small!

One use has destroyed two pieces of golden equipment!

Dean hastily took out Lich King’s Wrath and looked it over thoroughly with the Appraisal Skill. Upon confirming that Lich King’s Wrath wasn’t damaged, Dean finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, Lich King’s Wrath is sturdy, so that’s not an issue!

But, even though Lich King’s Wrath is fine, I can’t have two pieces of golden equipment getting destroyed every time I use a skill, right?” Although Dean had some resources at the moment, he couldn’t afford such a high consumption rate.

He thought about it and concluded that he could likely only support this consumption once more.

“It seems I need to level up the Corpse Explosion Skill. Yes, if I find a suitable trait in the future, I should also enhance it.”

Since this skill was Dean’s current trump card, he would definitely invest more resources into it.

Dean checked his status and saw that he had about 6 slots remaining.

And about 600,000 gold coins left.

At most he could add 12 million attribute points, but Dean felt this was not enough, therefore he decided to temporarily shelve the skill enhancement project for now.

With Dean’s plan to enhance the Corpse Explosion Skill now on hold, the resources he upset from the Giant Bear Tribe were almost depleted.

The Giant Serpent Tribe had moved into the Land of Bone, and it was time for Dean to confront the next situation.

“The earnings from this operation weren’t small, but I think it will be difficult for me to achieve a six-turn with the Giant Bear Tribe’s Promotion Temple. Unless I can defeat that Seven-turn entity from the Giant Bear Tribe..”
