Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 210 A New Round of Self-Created Skills (5k2)

As early as when Luo Xiu was on his way to Red Maple City, he had already thought of the skill option that he would use to invest in "creating his own skills".

He then opened the first "blank scroll" and quickly meditated on the technical knowledge he was about to invest in his mind, and completed the engraving on the scroll.

——【Glorious Inscription】+【Glorious Judgment】+【Holy Domain】+【Holy Punishment】!
【…】

[The destiny has been confirmed, and the destiny is "Glorious"]

[Current character level is lv.30, "Glorious Inscription" level is lv.4]

[Self-created skills - success rate 35% (min) ~ 75% (max)]

[Please confirm the experience points you want to invest. The minimum investment is 4400 experience points]

【…】

After the four [Glorious] skills were engraved on the scroll, the panel quickly showed the content related to the skill creation. Luo Xiu then invested twice the experience to ensure the maximum success rate.

After absorbing these experiences, the contents on the panel disappeared, and the golden and white light on the surface of the blank scroll on the desktop began to merge and converge, gradually forming new patterns.

After a not-so-long wait, new content appeared on Luo Xiu's panel again.

[Successfully created a skill]

[The "Glorious" destiny skill has been generated...]

[Obtain: Holy Hall of Purification (Glorious, lv.1)]

[Purification of the Holy Hall (Glorious, lv.1): All sins will eventually be destroyed in the Holy Hall. ]

【With the caster as the origin, a large-scale "Purification Hall" domain is launched. All non-"Glorious" destiny transcendents within the "Purification Hall" domain will receive an additional 30% increase in "Holy Light" attribute damage. At the same time, a large amount of "Holy Light" attribute annihilation damage will continue to be caused in the domain, with the damage amount per second being 60% of physical attack + 90% of spell attack value. The duration of the "Purification Hall" domain is 30 seconds (continuously consumes mana, and ends when the mana is exhausted). 】

【…】

The first time Luo Xiu created a skill of his own, he obtained the "Holy Hall of Purification".

This is a skill of large-scale debuff + large-scale dot damage, which can make up for Luo Xiu's skill gap in group damage, allowing Luo Xiu to deal with large numbers of miscellaneous enemies more easily and cope with many complex battlefield environments more calmly.

After he obtained the "Holy Hall of Purification", Luo Xiu immediately began to work on the second "skill creation".

——【Glorious Inscription】+【Holy Beast Contract】+【Abyss Beast Summoning】+【Holy Light Affinity】+【Dark Corrosion Affinity】!
【…】

【…】

This time, Luo Xiu's panel crashed for a while.

Before this, Luo Xiu had been thinking about a question - how to find a compromise between the "holy beast" and the "abyss beast", two creatures that were originally incompatible with each other, so that they can coexist.

Until he finally decided on such a combination, allowing the "Abyss Beast" or "Holy Beast" to have "Holy Light Affinity" or "Dark Eclipse Affinity" at the same time, perhaps this problem could be solved.

If successful, Luo Xiu will also be able to use the "Holy Beast Slot" obtained when learning the skill "Holy Beast Contract" to summon and contract a new, real "Holy Beast".

In the blank scroll in front of Luo Xiu, the five golden, brilliant white, dark purple and pitch-black inscriptions began to merge and reconstruct. The different colored lights flowed freely on the surface of the scroll and gradually outlined new patterns.

When the light on the scroll stopped flowing outwards, the inscriptions of the five skills became stable, and new content appeared on Luo Xiu's panel.

[The destiny has been confirmed, and the destiny is "Glorious"]

[Current character level is lv.30, "Glorious Inscription" level is lv.4]

[Self-created skills - success rate 16% (min) ~ 35% (max)]

[Please confirm the experience points you want to invest. The minimum investment is 6900 experience points]

【…】

"Hiss... the success rate is a bit low..." Looking at the new content appearing on the panel, Luo Xiu's eyes suddenly became deep.

At this time, his experience value savings were less than 150,000.

If he continued to invest double experience to ensure the success rate, Luo Xiu would only have eleven attempts left.

Eleven times... this should be enough... Luo Xiu thought. From the perspective of expectation, this probability is enough for him to succeed three times out of the remaining times.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu didn't think about it anymore. He directly paid 13,800 experience points to the next skill creation and began to wait quietly for the result.

The scroll in front of him immediately emitted a dazzling light, and the five inscriptions gradually merged into one, and it was about to succeed.

However, in the next moment.

Luo Xiu suddenly felt a strange and chaotic spiritual fluctuation coming from the scroll. It was a sign that the fusion had failed and the scroll was about to explode!
Luo Xiu immediately released his own spiritual power, and before the spiritual power in the scroll in front of him could escape into the air, he completely wrapped and sealed it up.

--boom!

A violent explosion came from the scroll, and the scroll was then shattered from the inside by a tearing force. The spiritual air wave quickly spread in a spherical shape around, but soon touched the spiritual barrier built by Luo Xiu.

The blast wave suddenly disappeared, and under the pressure of Luo Xiu's spiritual power, it slowly returned to its origin, and slowly dispersed outwards in a gentle spiritual form.

Luo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief after preventing a possible house-destroying accident caused by the exploding scroll. However, the blank scroll in front of him, which had been blown into pieces, was obviously unusable.

Luo Xiu then changed to a new blank scroll, and once again quickly completed the engraving of the skill, and also paid double experience.

【…】

——Boom! The second skill he created also ended in failure.

Luo Xiu frowned slightly, feeling a little hesitant.

After a brief psychological struggle, his conscience was finally overcome by evil, and Luo Xiu clasped his hands together and prayed:
"——I'll sacrifice Connor to be single for ten years..."

This is still a necessary process... Luo Xiu thought. Even though his luck value is now as high as 18 points, Connor is still the best choice for this kind of skill card drawing!
After completing this necessary process, Luo Xiu once again engraved the skill onto a new blank scroll and invested double experience points.

Under the gaze of mixed tension and anticipation, the inscriptions in the blank scroll merged and soon reached the critical point of success.

Finally, the five inscriptions completed the overlap and reconstruction, but the previous spiritual disorder and shock did not occur.

——Self-creation succeeded! Luo Xiu had foreseen the result.

Connor is awesome! As expected, it has to be Connor... Luo Xiu was in a good mood, waiting for the panel to refresh with new content.

After waiting for a moment, light and shadow floated on the panel in front of him, and new content appeared on it.

[Successfully created a skill]

[The "Glorious" destiny skill has been generated...]

[Obtain: Black Abyss Holy Beast (Glorious, lv.1)]

[Holy Beast of the Black Abyss (Glorious, lv.1): In the original 'chaos', there was no boundary between black and white. 】

[The "Holy Beast" that you have contracted with will also gain the racial characteristics of the "Abyss Beast", increasing the "Holy Light" or "Dark Eclipse" attribute damage caused by 20%, and reducing the attribute damage of "Holy Light" or "Dark Eclipse" received by 20% (this skill is passively cast and does not consume mana. Instead, it locks the mana limit of 10%*the number of summoned "Holy Beasts" depending on the number of summoned "Holy Beasts", which can be manually canceled). ]

【…】

"Sure enough... In this way, there is no need to maintain the form of 'Holy Flame Wolf' or 'Burning Feather Raven' for a long time, and Fenrir and Wuye can be regarded as 'holy beasts'..." Luo Xiu thought to himself as he looked at the contents on the panel.

The significance of this skill to Luo Xiu, besides being able to better disguise his identity, is more importantly that it can create compatibility between the "holy beast" and the "deep beast" without the possibility of infighting.

And this attempt on the "holy beast" can also be applied to the "angel" in the future... Luo Xiu thought to himself, he took out the next blank scroll at the same time, and started to draw the skill inscription of the next self-created skill while the iron was hot.

——[Abyssal Inscription] + [Sacred Beast Contract] + [Abyssal Beast Summoning] + [Holy Light Affinity] + [Dark Corrosion Affinity]!
Just replace [Glorious Inscription] with [Abyssal Inscription], and after waiting for a while, new content will appear in the panel.

[The fate has been confirmed, and the fate is "Abyss"]

[Current character level is lv.30, "Abyss Inscription" level is lv.3]

[Self-created skills - success rate 13% (min) ~ 30% (max)]

[Please confirm the experience points you want to invest. The minimum investment is 8200 experience points]

【…】

Since the skill level of "Abyss Inscription" is only lv.3, the success rate is lower than when he created the "Black Abyss Holy Beast" before, and the minimum experience required is also higher. Luo Xiu then invested double experience again and waited for the panel to calculate the result.

This time, Luo Xiu created a skill by himself. He failed twice, but succeeded on the third time. [Successful creation of skill]

[The "Abyss" destiny skill has been generated...]

[Obtain: Glowing Abyss Beast (Abyss, lv.1)]

[Glowing Abyss Beast (Abyss, lv.1): In the original 'chaos', there was no boundary between black and white. 】

[The "Abyss Beast" that you have contracted with will also gain the racial characteristics of the "Holy Beast", increasing the "Holy Light" or "Dark Eclipse" attribute damage caused by 20%, and reducing the attribute damage of "Holy Light" or "Dark Eclipse" received by 20% (this skill is passively cast and does not consume mana. Instead, it locks the mana limit of 10%*the number of summoned "Abyss Beasts" depending on the number of summoned "Abyss Beasts", which can be manually canceled). ]

【…】

The effect of the newly acquired [Abyss] skill - "Glowing Abyss Beast" is the same as that of "Black Abyss Holy Beast", but there are differences in fate and target.

After acquiring both the skills of "Black Abyss Holy Beast" and "Glowing Abyss Holy Beast", Luo Xiu decided to put the plan of summoning the first "Holy Beast" on the agenda.

However, only after the dwarf Mir officially moves to Red Maple City can Luo Xiu have a stable supply of high-quality materials. Therefore, there is no rush for the matter of "summoning the holy beast" for the time being.

At this moment, Luo Xiu still had more than 50,000 experience points left. According to his previous method of doubling the experience points, he could still perform three final self-creations.

After careful consideration, Luo Xiu finally decided to invest in a combination of skills he created himself.

——【Glorious Inscription】+【Soul Frenzy】+【Holy Territory】+【Holy Preaching】!
【…】

【…】

It was still a long wait before the panel showed new content.

[The destiny has been confirmed, and the destiny is "Glorious"]

[Current character level is lv.30, "Glorious Inscription" level is lv.4]

[Self-created skills - success rate 21% (min) ~ 45% (max)]

[Please confirm the experience points you want to invest. The minimum investment is 9200 experience points]

【…】

The minimum investment is 9,200 experience points! This is the one with the highest minimum experience points required in the "Create Your Own Skill" panel prompt that Luo Xiu has seen this time.

He thought for a moment, then made a decision, invested 18,400 experience points, and began to wait for the final result of his own creation.

——Boom! The first skill creation failed, and the scroll suddenly exploded within Luo Xiu's spiritual barrier, turning into fragments and scattering on the table.

After that, the second attempt also ended in failure.

Luo Xiu then started his third attempt and waited patiently for the final result.

This time, the inscriptions of the four skills on the scroll finally passed the most critical fusion stage smoothly, and there was no sign of explosion.

——The third attempt was successful. The four inscriptions began to merge gradually, and slowly generated a new inscription with white light as the background and purple light as the outline.

When the four inscriptions were completely integrated, a new prompt appeared on Luo Xiu's panel -

[Successfully created a skill]

[The "Glorious" destiny skill has been generated...]

[Obtain: Frenzy Glow (Glorious, lv.1)]

[Madness Radiance (Radiance, lv.1): A deep radiance pointing to the lost, crazy believers will return to the grave. 】

[Creates a large-scale "Frenzy Glow" field, which lasts for 300 seconds. All non-"Glorious" superhumans in the "Frenzy Glow" field will have their "Physical Attack" and "Magic Attack" increased by 20%, and their "Defense Reduction" reduced by 50%. After that, another "Divinity" attribute determination will be conducted, and all targets whose "Divinity" attributes are lower than those of the "Frenzy Glow" caster will fall into a "Deep Frenzy" state, with a greatly increased desire to attack, and unable to distinguish between friend and foe. The "Frenzy Glow" field will be lifted when the duration ends. ]

【…】

Crazy Glow... Luo Xiu looked at this new skill he had just created, and his eyes suddenly became deep.

He could tell at a glance that this skill had a very strong chaotic property. In the skill library of "Glory", skills with similar effects were extremely rare, almost non-existent.

This is actually more like the skill of [Nothingness]... Luo Xiu thought.

But this skill also meets Luo Xiu's needs - throw a "Frenzy Glow" field onto the melee battlefield, and large groups of enemies will fall into a frenzy civil war, and the effect can be called a battlefield harvester.

After completing the creation of this last skill, Luo Xiu's experience value reserves were exhausted, so he put away the remaining blank scrolls, preparing to use them next time.

In fact, since defeating the "Exiled Knight" Mordred and returning to Sina City, Luo Xiu has gained a lot of new abilities. He also needs time to get familiar with them and consolidate them before they can truly raise his combat power.

At this time, when Luo Xiu finished doing all this, it was already evening outside and it was time to rest.

This is Luo Xiu's first day as the "High Priest" at the Red Maple City Wartime Church... Starting tomorrow, he will start planning for the church's future, and get in touch with the [Wisdom] Sage's Tower, the [Supreme] Law Office's Great Eloquent and the Great Inquisitor stationed in Red Maple City... The task of becoming the "High Priest" is more arduous than Luo Xiu had expected, which requires him to rest better so that he can have more energy to deal with it.

He then went to the bedroom, performed his daily skill training, and after gaining some experience points, he lay down on the soft bed and fell asleep.

……

The next day, early morning.

After the church's morning bell rang three times every day, Luo Xiu woke up from his sleep.

He then got up from the bed, grabbed the high priest's robe on the ancient clothing support, walked out of the bedroom, went downstairs, and left the high priest's residence.

Luo Xiu went straight to the "Holy Tribunal" and found Anthony in the innermost room of the sanctuary.

At this time, Anthony had organized the situation of the church into paper files and handed them to Luo Xiu after he arrived.

Luo Xiu flipped through the files and had a general understanding of the current situation of the church.

The current Red Maple City Wartime Church is still the size of a "small church" with very limited resources, which can only be supplied to the existing clergy.

To expand the size of the church, more resources must be obtained from various sources - from the diocese, from the alms given by the faithful, or directly from the enemy.

These are all ways to quickly obtain more resources, and the former relies on merit, the middle one relies on the masses, and the latter relies on force.

Anthony and Pamier, the two chief lieutenants of the Inquisition, had discussed the matter yesterday and finally came to a conclusion.

——"Seizing" resources from the enemy is the most convenient, fastest, and most suitable option for the church. This can not only solve the problem of shortage of church resources, but also accumulate merits and allow the diocese to give more support.

However, the newly established "wartime church" did not have time to immediately find out the details of all potential enemies. Moreover, for the current wartime church, being the first to show its edge to the enemy often means danger.

"..." Luo Xiu felt helpless about Anthony and Pamier's straightforward and reckless style, but he expressed his approval of the results of their discussion.

"That's right. This is the decision we should make." Luo Xiu said, "Besides, you don't have to worry about the enemy's intelligence. I have already investigated their details before coming to Red Maple City."

"..."

When Anthony and Pamier heard Rosseau's confident statement, they couldn't help but show confusion on their faces.

They looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at Luo Xiu, who looked confident, and felt that he was not lying.

"...Do you really know the situation?" Anthony couldn't help asking, "Until now, we have only grasped the locations of three small enemy strongholds, but this is far from enough..."

"..."

"I know, Anthony." Luo Xiu shook his head and said with a smile, "I said, I have already investigated it clearly. You just need to select the Holy Inquisitors who can participate in the operation, and leave the rest to me."

"...Okay." Anthony responded helplessly, and at the same time, he heard a knock on the door.

——Knock, knock, there was a knock on the door. Rossio, Anthony, and Pamier all looked towards the door at the same time.

With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open and Connor walked in, followed by Pastor Colen.

"You are indeed here, Master Luo Xiu."

Colen's eyes passed through Anthony and Pamier and fell directly on Rossio, saying:
"Someone is here to see you. It's Nelson, the new mayor of Red Maple City."

"When he learned of your arrival, he came with two followers, hoping to meet you."
