Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 129 The Pope's Special Appointment
As he stepped outside the gate, he heard the roars of the guild's Nedara members, and Ling Chuan left the guild territory with satisfaction.

As an apprentice, if you can't openly set a trap for your master, then you can secretly help him out; that's what it means to show filial piety.

[Ding] World Announcement: Congratulations to player [Nan Ge Chu Yu] for completing the class promotion. As she is the first [Assassin] in the entire server to complete the class promotion, the system rewards her with Legendary Glory +10, Gold +25, Luck +3, and the skill book [Blood Moon].

[Ding] World Announcement: Congratulations to player [Yi Shui Han] for completing the class promotion. As he is the first [Knight] in the entire server to complete the class promotion, the system rewards him with Legendary Glory +10, Gold Coins +25, Luck +3, and the item [Holy Light Crossbow].

……

Blood Moon?!

Ling Chuan was astonished. Could it be that their studio was a gathering place for incredibly lucky people? Top-tier skill books were given away as a gift upon becoming a full-fledged member?!

There's no need to look up information from past lives. For players who specialize in assassins, recording their skills is a matter of professional etiquette!

【Blood Moon】, SSS-level skill, one of the most dazzling skills of the assassin, has two effects. Effect 1: After activating 【Blood Moon】, the dagger will transform into a blood-red light blade, increasing the attack range by 100% and the attack power by 10%, lasting for 5 minutes, with a 30-second cooldown. The maximum level is 10. At the maximum level, the attack range is increased by 200%, the attack power bonus is increased by 30%, and the duration is changed to permanent.

Effect 2: During the [Blood Moon] state, the skill can be released again to activate [Blood Flash], which deals linear damage with an initial range of 5 meters and deals 100% physical damage. If it is a back attack, the damage is increased by an additional 50%, and the cooldown time is 20 seconds. At the maximum level, the damage is increased to 200%, the additional damage from back attacks remains unchanged, and the cooldown time remains unchanged.

The status effect is self-explanatory; the most crucial element is "Blood Flash," a rare boon for single-target burst damage classes, much like "Mother and Child Soul Chase." Although its range is only a line, its explosive damage is undeniable. Moreover, if you can master this skill, your offense, defense, and evasion will all be significantly enhanced! Furthermore, what makes this skill the most dazzling isn't the blood-red light it displays, but rather its built-in kill effect.

If you use [Blood Flash] as a finishing move to kill your target, the player who is killed will see a spectacular scene before respawning.

The surrounding environment turned to night, and a blood moon hung halfway in the sky. The dead player overlapped with the blood moon. With a crisp cutting sound, the moon and the player were severed in one fell swoop. The player died and the moon fell.

Even though I'm past the age of teenage angst, just thinking about that cool scene still makes me envious and excited! Wow! I want one! Want one?

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed through Ling Chuan's mind. He slowly turned his gaze to his side, where Hermes was quietly floating beside him.

"Have it!"

Ling Chuan suddenly realized that if it weren't for his desires, he would have forgotten that he possessed a great treasure.

He snatched Hermes away, and dark demonic flames instantly enveloped it. Ling Chuan was overjoyed and quickly gave it special attention.

Exploration techniques.

Hermes (Silver-tier [Upgradable])
Level: 23 [Grows with its owner]

Attack Power: 253 [Scaling with Level]

Strength: Current Strength 10% [Scaling with Grade]

……

Ultimate Divinity: [Survival]

……

Lord of Eternity: [Past Lives and Present Life]

……

Level requirement: None

(For attributes omitted, please see Chapter 91: Unlocking the Mysterious Module)

……

As the level increases, attack power changes accordingly, while other stats that scale with grade remain unchanged for now; because those aren't crucial, the key is the extraction. Looking at his lower back, he'd completed the upgrade, and the secondary weapon slot in his waist area had appeared. This meant Hermes had finally made the down payment and owned his own home; and as the homeowner, he also gained access to his secondary weapon, able to truly wield this weapon of the gods!
Click on the equipment.

With a bang, energy surged from his palm, transforming into a warm current that swept through his entire body. Opening the character panel, the attributes of the dagger form were revealed!

……

It's ridiculously powerful! The base damage is over 100 points higher than in heavy crossbow mode! The actual damage is over 940, close to 1000 points. It's only thanks to the fact that heavy crossbow skills can't be used in dagger mode that the destruction of the Divine Revelation Continent would be imminent.

Health points are also increased by level due to the official promotion. With each subsequent level increase, health points will increase by 120 points; 80 for cloth armor classes and 200 for armor classes.

Looking at the skill bar, apart from a black hand depicting a grasping motion, a colorful vortex resembling the fusion of cards from Yu-Gi-Oh!, and a dagger icon, the rest are all empty.

That's normal. He said it before: when the hunter is in dagger form, he will not be able to use any character skills.

Touching the black hand, a message pops up.

【Surpassing】(Ultimate Divinity)
Description: Divine Artifact Skill.

Use: After use, Hermes gains the Steal effect, and hitting the target with any attack will grant access to the target's skill list; touching a skill will replicate and merge it into Hermes. The skill costs 20 Legendary Items and has no cooldown.

Capable of taking: 3
Current quantity: 0/3
No matter how many times I look at it, I still feel there's no solution. Surprisingly, the price for using the ultimate divinity is a legendary item. Luckily, I have a large number of early access points and ample stockpiles, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to afford it. As for the term "divine weapon skill," it's easy to understand—it's a skill that comes with the weapon. Coincidentally, this skill is unrelated to the character; you can use it simply by equipping the weapon, perfectly solving the shortcomings of hunters using daggers.

Looking at Lin Xixi in the team list, Ling Chuan grinned. He had given her Hermes' first time.

Tap the second fusion icon, and the 【Divine Principle Advancement】 appears. The debt of a hundred Radiant Silver Daggers looms over you, giving Ling Chuan a headache. He quickly closes the message.

The third one doesn't require a physical attack; it's passive dagger mastery, meaning he has the right to use daggers.

After browsing, Ling Chuan casually put Hermes into the extra dagger sheath at his waist and walked towards the general store.

[Ding] World Announcement: Congratulations to player [Bei Ji An Liang] for completing the job promotion. As she is the first [Exorcist] in the entire server to complete the job promotion, the system rewards her with Legendary Glory +10, Gold Coins +25, Luck +3, and the item [Spell Staff].

The fourth person finished, but his older sister, Ling Feixue, was still not done. Far from being in a hurry, he smiled. Because being slow was normal; he had previously mentioned that achieving the first-time achievement would grant him a prerequisite for his sister's profession, and now was the perfect time.

【Ding】

With a system bell ringing throughout the main city, Ling Chuan chuckled and said, "Here I am."

World Announcement: Congratulations to player [暮里烟雪] for completing the job advancement. As she is the first [Healer] in the entire server to complete the job advancement, the system rewards her with Legendary Glory +10, Gold +25, Luck +3, and the Imperial Decree [Papal Appointment].
