Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

"Hey? Young man? Interested? Take a look and see which one catches your eye?"

The stall owner, a middle-aged man in his forties, was lying on a recliner behind his stall. When he saw Qi Xie approaching, he immediately sat up with a big smile on his face.

"Let's take a look first."

Qi Xie smiled and looked down.

There were three items on the stall: a palm-sized black insect scale, a retro-style monocle, and an old human skin scroll.

Those were genuine, legitimate skill books from the system.

Qi Xie picked up the ancient human skin scroll, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He muttered to himself:

"It really is a B-rank skill?"

Qi Xie originally didn't have anything he wanted to buy; he was just browsing around.

With his current strength and level, there are very few things circulating in the ordinary market that can pass his eye.

But in a fleeting glance through the blessing of the [Spirit Sight], he actually discovered a strange aura of a dangerous level.

It's even more popular than sealed artifacts!

After all, the latter is not as easily seized as the former, nor does it attract covetousness.

Logically speaking, skills of this level should rarely be sold.

Unusual Skill: [Sacrifice] (Rank B)

Seeing the notification that popped up on the system panel, Qi Xie finally believed that the other party had not fabricated anything.

"Wow? You have a good eye, buddy. You picked out the best thing in my pile right away."

The stall owner smiled broadly and said:

"This is a reward from the system after I completed a special mission. It's a B-level skill! It's just that it's so different from my own fighting style, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to sell it. If you like it, you'd better take it quickly, or if someone else takes a liking to it, the price might go up."

Qi Xie glanced at him and chuckled softly:

"You're actually a pretty nice person. Why are you so eager to sell to me instead of making money?"

The stall owner's smile froze.

Qi Xie ignored him and looked down at the skill descriptions on the system panel.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it; once you do, you'll want to curse.

Unusual Skill: [Sacrifice] (Rank B)

Skill effect:

Sacrifice a sealed artifact to unleash a strike equivalent to 200% to 500% of its maximum power, after which the sealed artifact disappears from the realm of existence.

The specific power is affected by factors such as the integrity, type, and level of the sealed artifact, as well as the caster's own condition, but is not affected by the skill level. Furthermore, this skill requires a certain preparation time to activate, similar to charging up. The more powerful the sealed artifact, the more difficult it is to complete the 'sacrifice,' and the longer the preparation time.

"Amazing..."

Qi Xie's eyes twitched a few times.

Judging from the skill name alone, I thought it was about sacrificing yourself, but it turns out it's about making others sacrifice themselves?

The effect of a skill is to throw sealed objects out like disposable firecrackers?!

If the sealed creatures had mouths, they would spit at it a couple of times and then yell, "How could you be so selfish?!"

But what makes this thing so incredible is that it takes time to break the seal!

Moreover, this time is affected by the state of the sealed object itself, and the state of the sealed object itself can affect the power of the attack.

This creates a vicious cycle.

The more difficult a seal is to break, the greater its power; the greater the power of the seal, the more difficult it is to break.

This timeframe is not even affected by the skill's level.

In other words, the level of [Sacrifice] only determines the upper limit of the level of the sealed items it can dismantle, and does not speed up the dismantling process.

When it was Rank C, it took a few seconds to break any sealed item, and it still took the same amount of time when it reached Rank B. The only difference was that it gained the ability to break Rank 2 sealed items.

This skill is something you'd never normally need.

Even if Musk plays with the sealed artifacts like firecrackers, he'd still have to go to the factory to tighten screws after a month.

But when things get really dangerous and someone comes at you head-on, you can't turn the tide without dismantling a powerful sealing artifact. But by the time you dismantle that powerful artifact, the other person has already finished and is all done for.

No wonder they don't use it themselves, but sell it!

Qi Xie held the parchment scroll and fell into a long silence.

Seeing that Qi Xie had seen through his trick, the stall owner could only laugh awkwardly and say:

"So? Are you interested? After all, it's a B-rank skill..."

"I am a historian."

Qi Xie replied with something completely irrelevant.

"Um?"

The stall owner was stunned.

"This is historical fabrication (bullshit)."

Qi Xie shook his head and lowered the human skin scroll.

Seeing this, the stall owner could only sit back down helplessly, feeling that this pile of "historical artifacts" was probably going to be a liability in his hands.

But suddenly, Qi Xie stopped moving, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

What does it have to do with my "daydreams" to make the sealed object disappear from existence?

I've always used a projector!

It erases the projection from the level of existence, so can't I just imagine a new projection?

Of course, it's not that simple.

Although [Sacrifice] is garbage, its B-grade status and prestige are undeniable, on par with [Daydreaming].

Qi Xie guessed.

It is highly likely that the projection of the seal that was destroyed by the sacrifice will not be able to materialize into a new projection for a period of time, since both the new and the old fall within the scope of "projection" and have overlap in existence.

However, it's not a big deal. At worst, we can project it again after a while, once the effects of the [sacrifice] wear off.

The stall owner watched as Qi Xie hesitated, holding the human skin scroll, looking puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought that it wouldn't be bad to keep this as a collectible."

Qi Xie didn't put down the human skin scroll, but straightened up.

The stall owner was taken aback:

"Didn't you say it was dog poop?"

"Can't I have pica?" Qi Xie replied without any psychological burden or concern for saving face.
