This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Level 85 → 88↑

Faith 12→15↑

Current Soul Echoes: 4680

Soul Echoes Required for Upgrade: 39800

First increase the faith to 15, mainly to be able to use the hymn of Strength and Burning Body frequently.

After all, anything could happen in battle. If the priest's crown was broken during the battle, he would not be without hymns.

Of course, the most important point is that this armor does not match his current outfit very well.

"In order to be handsome, people always have to sacrifice something."

Looking at the black trench coat of the same style that he and Bai Yu had bought at the Qiqiao Workshop after they had rested in the afternoon, he curled his lips, patted the non-existent dust on his shoulders, and then checked his newly acquired personal characteristics.

When faith reaches 15, you gain the first faith trait.

Faith Trait·Baptism (15): Increases the damage and recovery of hymns; slightly increases resistance to holy and dark attributes.

"Well, the most basic belief characteristics have not been improved much."

After closing the personal panel of the Power, he turned his attention to the panel of the Mage.

The last time I upgraded, the mage still had 2 attribute points left, plus the 3 I gained this time, a total of 5 points.

After a little thought, he decided to maximize the violent output of the Mage, so he added 4 points to intelligence, bringing it to 75, and gaining another intelligence characteristic.

Level 85 → 88↑

Intelligence 71→75↑

Concentration 21→22↑

Focus: 286 → 296↑ (166 + 130)

Intelligence Characteristics: Deconstruction of All Things (75): Ability to explore the ways of constructing magic from the operation of the world, and use it to deconstruct existing magic; ability to simplify, stack, and reset the additional effects discovered in the deconstructed magic; slightly increase the damage of all magic, and slightly increase the duration of all continuous magic.

After the concentration reaches 20, each subsequent level increase will increase the concentration value by 10 points.

Compared to the 6-point increase in focus before level 20, the benefits of the increase after level 20 are greatly increased.

But even so, this is not as good as the intelligence characteristics brought by 75 intelligence.

Although Ye Yiyi had long known that the level after 70 for a single attribute was a watershed, she had not expected that the characteristics brought by 75 intelligence would be so special.

Looking at the feature description on his personal panel, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"If I remember correctly, the 'Deconstruction of Everything' in the game seems to simply add a special state that can be applied to magic, right?

“Why does it become so complicated in reality?

"Besides, my intelligence is already 75, can't I create my own magic?"

As a "magic master" who learned magic through unconventional means, Ye Yiyi's control and use of magic are absolutely impeccable, and his damage is second to none.

As for how to deconstruct magic, after acquiring this characteristic, he has learned the method of deconstruction without any teacher.

But when it comes to how to create magic, his eyes go dark and he has no idea what to do.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand the principles of magic. After all, the concentration practice method provides a lot of magical knowledge. He just doesn’t know where to start.

Glancing at the column for concentration practice, Zhige frowned slightly when he saw the 45% progress.

"And this progress bar, what on earth is it for? Could it be related to my homemade magic?

"It seems I still need to find a magic teacher to learn systematically."

There is no rush to deconstruct the magic for now. Let’s deal with the problem of the Cursed Tower first.

So he said goodbye to the saint and was teleported to the holy monument in the cemetery under the wall of Lupe Castle in the Plain of Knowledge through the holy monument.

Arrange the magic you carry at the holy monument, put down the [Incomplete Metamorphosis] which you don't need for the time being, and take the [Shedding Spirit Waterfall] you just got.

There are 13 spell slots in total, and [Shedding Spirit Waterfall] alone takes up 3 of them.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of spell slots for now, enough for him to carry enough functional magic.

When they set out from the holy monument and found Alice under the leadership of the Knight of Fire Crown, she happened to be talking to the red-robed bishop.

"Mr. Gus! You are finally back!"

Seeing Ye Yiyi coming from the gate, the red-robed bishop let out a long sigh of gratitude, and his old face full of wrinkles and tension finally relaxed a little.

"what happened?"

Glancing at Alice, who rolled her eyes at him with her arms folded, he looked at the anxious bishop with a confused expression.

"Is there something wrong with the Cursed Death Tower?"

"It's not the problem of the Cursed Death Tower."

Alice looked up and down at Ye Yiyi's new clothes and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Nakuya was killed on the way to the capital by the Fire Crown Knights. The Fire Sparrow Kingdom's State Religious Council believes we are the murderers. The people they sent to trouble us are on their way and will probably arrive tomorrow morning."

"what?"

Ye Yiyi blinked blankly.

"Who is Nakua?"

"Yeah, who is Nakua?"

Alice repeated these words, squinting at the red-robed cardinal whose face was filled with worry, and said them with disdain.

"My Lord, did you hear that?

"Guts went out only to find a safe way to resolve the problem of the Cursed Death Tower. Do you think he would go out of his way to hunt down a nobody whose name he couldn't even remember?"

"I never doubted Gus-sama!!"

The red-robed bishop emphasized his tone. He looked at Ye Yiyi, who was dressed in a unique black trench coat, and lowered his head slightly.

"Sir Gus, I have never doubted you... Nakuya's death was clearly a conspiracy by the nobles. Two lords and nobles have already died because of you. Putting aside the truth, your actions are enough for them to regard you as a threat!

"I hope you can solve the problem of the Cursed Death Tower as soon as possible and leave Fort Lupe, the sooner the better!"

"Threat?" Ye Yiyi rolled her eyes and laughed in anger. "You're even ignoring the truth. If you don't even talk about the truth, then what else is there to talk about?"

His good mood was gone at this moment. He waved to the bishop and then looked at Alice.

"Let's go, the ritual is complete. Let's go and deal with the Cursed Death Tower and then leave Lupe Castle."

Alice nodded silently. Upon hearing this, the bishop stood up straight and said solemnly, "I will lead the way!"

Following the bishop to the underground tower and leaving the bishop waiting outside the door, Ye Yiyi took out the key to the secret door and entered the separated secret space again.

Ye Yiyi looked at the black and white light screen in front of him, then looked up at the circular tower and the many rooms located in the tower, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

“It’s a pity.”

"What's a pity?"

"There are so many skilled slaves imprisoned here, and I haven't had a proper fight with them yet."

"..."

Alice lowered her eyes and spoke after a moment of silence.

"I do not believe."

"Why don't you believe it?"

"You just crave the metal materials and weapons, not the battle."

“…You actually discovered it.”

Ye Yiyi muttered, turned his head, stretched out his hand, and counted lightly on the black and white light screen.

“Beep, beep!”

After two quick, sharp sounds, a bright red alarm appeared on the Cursed Death Tower.

The bishop and others who were waiting on the top floor looked at the tower that had turned bright red in surprise and doubt, and trembled slightly in their hearts.

"Get ready to go."

At some point, Ye Yiyi and Alice appeared beside them.

"In two minutes, the Cursed Death Tower will begin to self-destruct. The ground may shake slightly. Send your people to maintain law and order."

Feeling some powerful force building up beneath his feet, the bishop became increasingly worried.

"Master Gus! Is Lupeburg okay?"

"It'll be fine." Ye Yiyi shook his head and said, "I can't explain the principle to you, because you probably won't understand, but I promise it will be fine... I guarantee it in Gus' name!"

"I understand!"

The bishop nodded heavily and walked out the door without hesitation.

Ye Yiyi and Alice stood outside the gate, silently watching the Cursed Death Tower go to destruction.

Intertwined black and white beams of light shot from the bottom of the tower to the top, and invisible waves spread outward, causing ripples in the space itself.

The space before my eyes was twisting, spinning, and collapsing.

The metal tower shattered in it and was eventually swept up by an invisible storm. In a burst of brilliant light, the Cursed Death Tower turned into a small black ball with cracks on its surface and fell from the sky, lying quietly in front of Ye Yiyi.

He lowered his head to pick up the black glass bead, then looked up at the gate in front of him that had turned into an earth wall, and finally met the gaze of Alice, who seemed a little depressed.

"The power of space and time in the universe, that is His Highness's power..." Alice's eyes were a little dazed. "It turns out that even the Cursed Death Tower itself was created by His Highness's power..."

Ye Yiyi held the girl in his arms, sniffed the faint fragrance with his nose, rubbed her head gently, and whispered comfortingly.

"It's resolved. Sweetheart, don't be unhappy. At least we've taken that power back, right?"

"Um……"

The girl in his arms hummed softly like a dream and hugged his body tightly.

Ye Yiyi looked down at the black bead in her hand, and a light curtain popped out.

[Lacquer Shadow Cave] (broken)

Chapter 262 Set off again

[Lacquer Shadow Cave] (broken)

Item Description: A magic crystal containing the power of the Light of the Universe.

One of the purest crystals of the technique.

It can use physical matter to create a physical space that exists forever.

It is said that the Universal Light One was one of the first ancient kings to die in the war.

What remains of its purest power is carefully guarded,

Therefore, it became a key prerequisite for victory in the war.

"The crystallization of pure power..."

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi looked at the light screen beside him thoughtfully.

After watching the Tower of Death Curse collapse, he suddenly had an inexplicable mysterious feeling in his heart, and on the simplified light curtain, such a prompt popped up.

[Deconstruction of All Things: Annihilation Storm Deconstruction Progress: 9%]

"Annihilation Storm?"

If he guessed correctly, this so-called "Annihilation Storm" was the force that had just caused the collapse of the Cursed Death Tower.

One of the effects of the intellectual trait of deconstructing everything is the ability to explore how to construct magic from the operation of the world.

In other words, Annihilation Storm is a way of constructing magic by exploring the collapse of the Cursed Death Tower and then using the deconstruction of all things.

"Then what will happen when the deconstruction progress is complete?" Ye Yiyi fell into deep thought.

"Is it an additional effect called 'Annihilation Storm'?"

The deconstruction of everything in the original game can be set at the holy monument to add effects to magic.

There are only three additional effects, namely [Remove Charge Limit], [Reduce Concentration Consumption], and [Increase Magic Damage]
