Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 888 Research on the Seven-Forked Fragments

Xia Shou walked out of the door, straightening his 16th-century clothes. Following him out of the door behind him were Jiang Wengao and Su Weiyu, both dressed in contemporary attire, including Su Weiyu this time.

The moment he entered the current era, Xia Shou clearly felt the changes within himself. The powers that were originally isolated in the shadows slowly emerged, and the skills that he had once devoured in this era were awakened again.

Even that night and the Fire Scepter seemed to rise from deep water and appear in the shadow of Merlin. Xia Shou had a thought, and these powers that he hadn't been in contact with for a long time transformed into words and were displayed before his eyes.

The skills he devoured include: Bat Shadow, Blood Clone, Even in Emptiness There Is a Place to Settle Down, Prayer Ash Blade, and the Broken Sword of Betrayal.

As for the props belonging to this era, there is only the Night and Fire Scepter, but that alone is enough, or rather, this scepter is the most important one.

【Bat Shadow】 is a fixed LV4 skill. Its effect is that at night, the user can split into a large number of intangible bat shadows, gain the ability to fly, greatly increase movement speed, and cannot be damaged by normal physical attacks.

Furthermore, in the Bat Shadow state, it can gradually draw blood from an animal's body by enveloping it, with the rate of blood draw increasing as the duration of the shadow bat swarm's envelopment continues.

The downside is that when attacked, the bat shadow constantly reassembles, which shortens the time it can maintain the bat shadow state.

Furthermore, during the day, the bat shadows will be unable to absorb blood, and the stronger the light, the slower their movement speed and the shorter the duration.

Simply put, it's a non-physical skill that allows flight, but its effect on Xia Shou is so-so right now.

After all, when Blood Demon first came to the Blood Dynasty, all of his supernatural abilities were devoured by his second self, and he could only use them after death. He had no reliable defensive skills, which is why Bat Shadow was so precious.

Now, the Mask of Desire has been completed, and the pseudo-blood demon form is much stronger than the Bat Shadow. Apart from being able to fly and drain blood, the Bat Shadow has almost no advantage in defense.

Furthermore, Scorpion Spine can now raise his level to level five or higher, while Bat Shadow is a level four fixed skill, and it's a skill that can only be used on himself. This makes Xia Shou unsure whether this thing will still be effective on him when he reaches level 5.

Compared to the outdated version of Bat Shadow, [Blood Clone] is much better.

Xia Shou read the skill effects of Blood Clone again.

[Introduction: Blood is me, and I am blood.]

If you don't have this ambition, don't be a vampire.

[Effect: Consumes a large amount of blood to create a blood clone that is exactly the same as oneself. The blood clone has a red base color. The original body can use the clone to perform abilities. Each blood clone can exchange positions with the original body three times.]

Blood clones can only exist for a maximum of ten minutes, and cannot be summoned again within ten minutes of being destroyed.

"Very good, very awesome," Xia Shou thought to himself.

There is no specific indication of the ability level, which means that this ability is on par with the level of the user.

This skill may seem ordinary, but its most powerful feature is that it can "use clones to perform the ability".

Last time, his skill inventory wasn't enough, so he couldn't utilize the synergy between skills. Now, with his skill count skyrocketing, the effect of this clone's abilities has made many skills potentially double in power.

For example, the first skill that Xia Shou thought of was [Three-Person Waltz].

Xia Shou decided that he could test the judgment mechanism of the three-person waltz when he had time, and see if the blood clones he created could join in the dance.

The third skill.

[Even in emptiness, there is a place to stand] [Synopsis: Birds soar through the sky, beasts rest on the ground; in emptiness there is nowhere to stand, yet even in emptiness, there is a place to stand.]

[Effect: You can treat anything your feet touch as a fixed point in space relative to the ground. The effect lasts for three seconds.]

[Cost: For three minutes after using this skill, your feet cannot touch the ground; otherwise, your feet will become paralyzed and require drinking large amounts of blood to recover.]

The fourth skill.

【Prayer Ash Blade】

[Summary: Just like Jesus in his crucifixion, even as he was consumed by flames, he infused his faith into the ashes, transforming them into a sharp blade.]

[Effect: When the superpower is activated, after burning or crushing the magical artifact into ashes, you can remember the effect of that artifact;]

You can manipulate any ashes that have been blessed by your devout prayers, transforming them into any shape. When you transform the ashes into the shape of a ritual object you have burned, the ashes will then possess the effect of burning the object, lasting for ten minutes.

[Cost: Once your ash loses its potency, you must consume it, or your body will begin to turn to ash.]

There's not much to say about "Even in emptiness, there's a place to stand." It's simple, straightforward, and easy to use. Although it's not powerful, it's a flexible skill that can be useful in any situation.

As for the Prayer Gray Blade... it's even more useful. This kind of thing that needs to be made in advance is incredibly convenient to use in conjunction with future prefabrication.

Its power is simple and easy to understand. Although it requires destroying the original sealed object, as long as you use the ashes that have been prayed for, you can completely replicate the item one-to-one. With a large amount of ashes, it can also be mass-produced.

Originally, there was only one sealed item, but it can be mass-produced and given to teammates. In the future, prefabrication can borrow ashes in advance to temporarily produce weapons during battle.

Of course, there are also drawbacks. Although Prayer Gray Blade has great potential, it is, after all, a skill. The level of the sealed object created by the skill is also comparable to the abnormal level of the activator. It will be low, but not high.

Burning an EX-level artifact and then mass-producing multiple copies is impossible, just like water with a boiling point of 100°C cannot be heated to 800°C.

In this metaphor, the sealed object is the temperature of the fire, and the summer guardian is the water. The boiling point is his abnormal level. Below 100°C, the temperature of the fire determines the temperature of the water, but above 100°C, it is definitely not acceptable.

However, even so, this skill has an extremely wide range of uses.

He doesn't have many skill slots; excluding the one he chose to commit suicide, he only has four. However, he currently has many Seven-Branched Fragments. Excluding the one given to the minister, he still has four.

The Seven-Forked Fragment, as a carrier of skills, can not only carry skills but is also not counted in the skill calculation.

So this time he can bring the skills back with him.

Xia Shou immediately tried to put all these skills onto the fragments, but soon discovered that a fragment could not carry a single skill.

"What happened?" Xia Shou asked, slightly surprised.

He found himself unable to apply those skills to those seven-pronged fragments!

Could it be that the fragments are too small to bear the extraordinary power of these skills?

But that doesn't make sense either. Glenn Doyle is an anonymous person, so his [Future Prefab] was easily brought back.
