Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

"Could it be that the effects of the Mad Fire are still lingering?" Lu Ye asked suspiciously.

“Probably not,” Melina said. “The madness initially affects the eyes, and only after the eyeballs are burned into charcoal balls will it further erode the mind.”

"Okay, I understand. Anyway..." Lu Ye took out the panacea, "Give me an injection! It's always good to be a little preventative!"

"I do not want!"

Ah Tui trembled as he looked at the sharp needle.

She didn't want to get a shot.

Under her strong insistence and request, Lu Ye did not force her.

Anyway, A-Tui has the mark I left on her body, so I can give her a calming injection whenever something happens.

"But what about the ashes just now?" Melina asked, puzzled. "They actually found their way back on their own."

"Isn't this normal?" Lu Ye asked.

"The ashes are affected by the summoning bell and are at the summoner's command. Once the distance is too far, the effect will be lost, and the ashes will disappear automatically."

“That must be an inherent property of the ‘Bionic Teardrop’,” Lu Ye said. “After all, it’s a technological creation of the Eternal City.”

Melina neither nodded nor denied it.

What just happened was indeed beyond her comprehension.

After finishing their meal, the two began to tally up their "spoils of war".

Lu Ye shot and killed a little over a hundred mutated giant birds... no, it can't be called shooting them, they jumped off the cliff on their own.

With the added bonus from the Golden Bird Claw, the average rune count for a giant bird is around 15,000.

In total, I acquired approximately 1.5 million runes.

As for A-Tui, she had fewer piggy banks because she wasn't very efficient at cleaning them and she also had to handle them without being noticed.

Therefore, she only received about 700,000 runes.

A total of 2.2 million runes is a huge sum of money.

As for how to allocate the funds, Lu Ye and A Tui received advice from Melina.

“Dividing it equally or each taking what’s yours is a foolish thing to do,” Melina said. “What you need now is to figure out how to maximize your fighting power.”

"Please enlighten me, Teacher Amei!" A-Tui said.

"More points are not necessarily better. Whether it's life or intelligence, each stat has a soft cap."

As she spoke, Melina pushed up her glasses, adopting the demeanor of a female teacher.

Although Lu Ye really wanted to complain about where her eyes came from, he still asked about the important matter.

What is a soft cap?

"Each time you add points, the corresponding value will increase, but after a certain point, this increase will slow down."

"It will also cause the growth effect to decline, not as good as before."

“That’s right.” Melina nodded.

A-Tui looked at Lu Ye, then at Melina, and raised his hand, saying, "Teacher Melina, I don't understand!"

Melina sighed softly: "To put it this way, when you're hungry, you eat very quickly, but when you're full, you eat more slowly because your stomach is almost full."

"I see, that's easy to understand!"

Although Melina's analogy was a little strange, A-Tui could understand the general idea.

The main point increase for Luye is currently in sensing, with a soft upper limit of 90 sensing points.

Once you reach 90 points, upgrading your sensor will offer almost no further benefits.

In fact, at 20 points, the benefits gained from each level of sensing begin to decrease.

However, at that time, the number of runes required for upgrading was not large, and the benefits of unlocking the Sensing skill were still quite significant for Lu Ye.

After all, the weapons used also have compensating values.

For example, the famous sword Moon Shadow has the scaling values ​​of Sensing and Intelligence. The higher these two points are, the stronger its power will be.

For mages, intelligence is usually a hard requirement; if they don't have enough intelligence, they can't even use magic, let alone weapon enhancement.

Tops was called "Useless Stone" by the Academy because he couldn't use the Great Magic Stone.

Fortunately, Lu Ye's own values ​​were relatively high, starting with a sensing value of 39, which gradually increased to over 50 later.

But Lu Ye's improvement wasn't just in his senses; he also gained more energy.

His current level is [62].

The number of runes required to advance one level is 22903.

To reach level 100, you'll need over 900,000 runes, which is about half the cost.

The rest were naturally assigned to A-Tui.

Needless to say, intelligence is a must.

A-Tui's physique is not well-suited for close combat; ashes and magic are the most suitable fighting methods for her.

In addition, focus is also important, since mages cannot be without mana.

As for the remaining runes, they can be used to increase life and improve survivability, or allocated to energy to improve A-Tui's stamina.

"Ugh...can't you spare a little for strength?" A-Tui said, sounding a bit aggrieved. "I also want a strong body."

“Your body is already strong enough. If it really doesn’t work, you can buy a set of chainmail.” Melina ruthlessly rejected A-Tui. “Anyway, first raise your intelligence to sixty points so you have enough aptitude to use ‘Origin Magic,’ then raise your focus to 30, and then raise your health to 40…”

Melina's tone left no room for argument.

Despite having the heart of a warrior, A-Tui was ultimately outmaneuvered by Melina.

Of course, Lu Ye wholeheartedly supported Melina.

If A-Tui were a warrior, even splitting himself into two wouldn't be enough to keep him busy.

The next morning, Lu Ye and A Tui arrived at the Volcano Mansion again.

Today is the day they face Laqad directly.

They are determined to get this large rune.

“Very good, it seems you are ready to face our King Lakad.” Tanis nodded. “Then extend your hands, and I will lead you to meet the true master of the Volcano Mansion. From then on, you will become members of our clan.”

Lu Ye and A Tui grasped Tanis's outstretched hand.

A wave of darkness descended.

A moment later, the two opened their eyes again and found themselves in a dark cave.

Tanis was not by his side; only her ethereal voice faded into the distance.

"Farewell, I hope it will be a perfect encounter."

In front of the cave was a huge fog gate, from which flowed blackish-yellow mist, and a faintly scorching aura emanated from within.

Lu Ye and A Tui passed through the fog gate, and the sweltering air rushed towards them instantly.

Behind the fog gate lay a massive cavern. The ground beneath their feet was cracked, and the red glow emanating from the magma beneath the fissures illuminated the torn surface. Within the cavern were dozens of enormous stone pillars, but upon closer inspection, they were actually pillars made of corpses. The corpses were charred beyond recognition, piled up in heaps, and tightly coiled by dead pythons, forming what appeared to be pillars. Were it not for the outlines and the limbs of the corpses writhing and thrashing in agony before death, they would be easily missed in the dimly lit cave.

The scorching wind caused a fine layer of sweat to seep from Lu Ye's forehead, and it also slightly shook the several large chandeliers hanging above the cave. Corpses were also hanging from the chandeliers and the ropes supporting them. The broken armor on the corpses was charred black, and the front half of the longsword in their hands, which they had never let go of until their deaths, had melted.

Below, a huge mass was slowly wriggling.

It was a giant serpent that lived in lava.

Unlike ordinary snakes, it coiled itself into a huge ball, its sharp, thick scales rubbing against each other, making a grinding sound, like a tangled ball of yarn, yet it contained a terrifying aura.

This place is basically a large cemetery.

The Herrschers gain power by hunting their own kind.

For a long time, Tanis sent warriors here to become food for the Rakad.

The warriors who served Gmir also perished here.

"Why... does the underground of the border area always feel so dark?" A-Tui murmured, looking at the hellish scene.

“Things from the underworld have to live in the underworld,” Lu Ye said in a low voice. “Keep your voice down, it hasn’t noticed us yet.”

It appears the giant snake is still resting.

Lu Ye's eyes searched around.

He was looking for a hunting serpent spear.

This is the weapon that the Gemir Knights used to deal with the giant serpent; it is said to be extremely effective.

However, these people ultimately fell into the hands of the giant snake.

According to Bernal, Luye found the large spear on the pile of bones to the left of the entrance.

In fact, this weapon doesn't quite resemble a spear; it's more like a combination of a greatsword and a spear, and it's currently being held tightly in the hand of a charred corpse.

Lu Ye hesitated.

Does this spear really work?

Well, let's give it a try anyway.

The moment his hand touched the Hunting Serpent Spear, a few lines of small text popped up in front of Lu Ye.

[Item Obtained: Hunting Serpent Spear (Weapon)]

[Note: This weapon is both a greatsword and a spear. Legend has it that it was used in ancient times to hunt the immortal serpent, and when confronting the serpent, it could form a long, luminous blade. When the tyrant's ambition degenerates into base greed, the knights set out to find a weapon that could stop their master.]

[Combat Art: Hunting the Great Serpent]

[Note: When facing the giant serpent, it will generate a long blade of light, revealing its true power.]

After reading the item description, Lu Ye had a general idea of ​​what to expect.

Others might lie to him, but he wouldn't give a genuine explanation.

Since this spear has the power to kill the giant serpent, then let's use it.

"Shall we go?"
