Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

Seven gatekeepers followed the Northern Desert Army to the city gate.

As a result, not a single living member of the artifact spirit clan was seen.

However, their level mission has already been marked as completed...

"What's going on?"

"Who knows!"

"Holy crap, those two artifact spirits are huge! How did they die?!"

"And this city wall? It's been cut into pieces by something!"

"..."

In short, the seven people who pushed open the door followed the Northern Desert Army and entered Black Iron City in a daze.

Fortunately, there were some hidden spirits in the city that gave them a glimpse of the challenge.

Chu Yang did not participate in the task of sweeping away the remaining artifact spirits within Black Iron City.

Because his fighting style was too fierce.

If he were to actually "dodge" within the city, the entire Northern Desert Army would likely be trapped inside.

If that's the case, no matter how many human contribution points he has, it won't be enough...

Throughout the battle, Chu Yang killed nearly five thousand artifact spirits, and his level rose to level 8, while Hong Niang rose two levels to level 7.

Within the gate realm, killing alien races of lower rank or those that are not yet awakened yields very little experience points or other rewards.

Therefore, after this battle, Chu Yang only leveled up by one level.

This is also the main reason why Chu Yang only leveled up three times after killing over eight thousand weapon spirits in the previous level.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that higher levels require more experience points.

There were no powerful weapons in this city, but there were five powerful weapons, all of which were killed by Chu Yang.

Before the army charged in, Chu Yang had already taken the items from the battlefield treasure chest.

Finally, he descended from the sky and landed on the head of a battlefield artifact outside the city.

After unlocking the curse in the [Encyclopedia of Myriad Races], Chu Yang automatically understood how to use it.

Because only one character card can be created per level in the [Encyclopedia of Myriad Races], Chu Yang considered it and ultimately chose the giant artifact spirit beneath his body that had released a death ray at him.

//The "Encyclopedia of All Races" has been enhanced. The restriction of only being able to keep one character card per race has been removed, and now you can collect them infinitely. Of course, when using them, you can still only use the talents and skills of one card at a time—because the author's collecting addiction has kicked in…//

Chu Yang took out the glittering golden picture book from his backpack and placed one hand on the corpse of the artifact spirit at his feet.

As the [Compendium of Myriad Races] shone with golden light, a blue stream of light emerged from the head of the battlefield artifact spirit beneath Chu Yang's feet and entered the [Compendium of Myriad Races] in his hand.

Chu Yang opened the picture book and saw a blue card on the first page.

[Spirit Race - Black Reaper - Purple]

Black Reaper is the name of this artifact spirit, and purple represents the quality of this card.

The quality of a card is related to the card character's talents and skills.

The Black Reaper has only one talent: [Giant Spirit Soldier]

【Giant Soldier - Purple】—Your size will increase to gigantic, maximum health +5000, and you will be immune to knockback, knock-up, and other effects.

To be honest, this is quite a talent.

However, considering the potential inconveniences of becoming gigantic, Chu Yang did not choose to learn it.

"It's a pity, if only I could control my own growth to become gigantic..."

In addition, this "Black Reaper" also has five skills.

Chu Yang didn't think much of most of the skills, but the "Black Death Ray" looked pretty good, so he decided to learn it and try it out.

Black Death Ray - Purple - Unleashes a death ray from within, dealing continuous damage equal to 3 spell power per second to enemies within a 3000-meter straight-line distance.

You can rotate the direction during the spell, but you cannot move.

Skill cooldown is 10 minute.

This is a skill that looks very interesting.

Chu Yang's spell power is currently 265, and three times that would bring it to approximately 800.

800 spell power damage per second is not bad for other door openers, but it is not enough compared to Chu Yang's lightning-type spirit and mirror laser.

However, Chu Yang didn't learn this skill to deal damage.

He just thought that the sight of over 100 mirror images simultaneously unleashing the "Black Death Ray" would be spectacular...

This brought back the joy he used to find in playing roguelike games.

Chu Yang pulled out the character card and slapped it on his forehead.

The card transformed into a stream of light and entered his body.

The system then displayed a notification:

"You can choose to load one of the talents and skills of this card character."

Chu Yang then refused to load the talent and only loaded the skill "Black Death Ray".

In his character panel, a new skill, "Black Death Ray - Purple," had appeared in the skill list.

This skill not only did not occupy Chu Yang's original four skill slots, but it also had three rune slots!

Chu Yang put the [Encyclopedia of Myriad Races] back into his backpack with satisfaction.

With plenty of time before the checkpoint closed, Chu Yang flew to a quiet mountaintop and began to organize his loot from the checkpoint.

First, let's talk about the items that come out of the treasure chests.

Chu Yang didn't even bother to look at the items he got from the dozens of green treasure chests, but he did manage to get a rune that he could use from the remaining chest.

{Thunder Pivot Steps Purple} - Evasion Rune: Each dodge generates a [Thunder Mark] along the path that lasts for 10 seconds. Enemies who touch the [Thunder Mark] gain a stack of Electrocution and receive 30% more lightning damage for three seconds.

After equipping the runes, Chu Yang tried using them and discovered that he could leave behind [Lightning Marks] in the air by using "Dodge".

This rune, combined with his near-infinite evasion, should be able to leave [lightning marks] all over the battlefield.

This also gives his lightning-type Pokémon a 30% damage increase.

In addition, the electrocution effect applied by these [Lightning Marks] can also increase the infection efficiency of [Lightning Punishment].

The only thing to note is that [Lightning Mark] is not a summoned creature.

Even so, this rune is still quite good.

There's not much to say about the other items; Chu Yang didn't like any of them.

There were also a few companion artifacts that Chu Yang used as materials to integrate into his own companion artifact.

His companion's spell power and health increased slightly again.

Then comes the acquisition of money.

Given Chu Yang's fighting style of almost always taking on a team of enemies alone, the speed at which he acquires money is extremely fast.

Not counting items that can be sold, his money has already reached 19+!

This quantity is enough to buy out the entire store once.

Finally, there are the matchmaker's skills.

In the previous battle, the matchmaker's skill "Fan Step" had a flash of brilliance.

The three upgrade options at the time were as follows:

1. Skill cooldown has been reduced from 40 seconds to 6 seconds, but it can no longer be refreshed by killing enemies.

2. Each time you refresh "Fan Step", the cooldown of other general skills of the target you have attached to will be reduced by one second.

3. There is no longer a time limit for killing enemies. As long as you kill the target marked by "Que Shan Bu", the skill cooldown will be refreshed immediately.

Of the three upgrade options, the second one is definitely the most suitable for Chu Yang!

With his current output capabilities, after he has accumulated a certain number of mirror images and lightning-type spirits.

Unless encountering an alien race with invincibility, they can basically kill opponents of the same level instantly.

Therefore, the evolution effects of 1 and 3 are meaningless to him.

It should be noted that this cooldown reduction is ineffective for "Dodge".

Of course, thanks to the effect of [Mirror Flower Water Moon], it is now very difficult for Chu Yang's [Evasion] skill to have any gaps in its effectiveness.

In short, the upgraded "Fan Step" not only improves Chu Yang's mobility, but also gives him a cooldown reduction effect when killing enemies.

It's like having an extra talent similar to the {Heart of Slaughter} rune.

The only downside is that Chu Yang's current build doesn't rely much on general skills.
