Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 676 - 597: 2 Months Later

Platinum Country, northern region.

Since Platinum Country returned to normal, combined with a 10-year respite, the four seasons have reappeared within Platinum Country.

It is currently winter, and heavy snow is falling in the northern region.

In the far north, at the coastal border region where the previous battle with Prince Qing took place.

"Bang!"

A resounding explosion echoed throughout the winter.

On the coast, the sound of guns and cannons reverberated continuously, as if a fierce battle was taking place here.

Looking around, two teams of mechs were attacking each other on the coastline.

Each team of mechs had a total of five units, and the different equipment and configurations on the mechs seemed to emphasize various aspects.

The two teams exchanged fire in the sky and around them.

Ammunition and cannon fire sounded continuously around them.

And Kane stood not far below them, with his arms crossed over his chest, watching this scene.

The ten mechs in total were constructed by him, but they were not piloted by him.

They were all controlled by Intelligent Cores. Kane now had quite a few Intelligent Cores, each with different responsibilities, though they were all degraded ordinary versions.

Controlling more is daunting, but letting these ordinary degraded Intelligent Cores each pilot a mech for various combat tasks works just fine.

Moreover, these Intelligent Cores are simpler, making it easier to use gold-level skills to condense them.

The higher the level of the Intelligent Core, the longer the cooldown time required, and the expenditure involved rises exponentially.

Therefore, having one or two top-tier Intelligent Cores is quite sufficient; more often, it's the ordinary degraded versions that are used.

These Intelligent Cores are inexpensive and easier to condense, saving time and effort.

In mid-air, the two sides continued to exchange fire, and any damages were promptly repaired by Kane below, who tirelessly continued the battle.

Beside him were some small Floating Cannons, all controlled by the high-level Intelligent Core now at Kane's side.

Kane was responsible for maintaining the expenditure and conducting the manufacturing.

Under the control of the Intelligent Core, these Floating Cannons fired accurately, disregarding the casualties of both sides.

A single shot could destroy one, and a new Floating Cannon could be reconstructed in the same place within a second.

Thus, in an unending cycle of relentless attacks.

From the dawn of sunrise to the dusk of evening.

Kane then commanded the various mechanical devices in the sky to cease fire, subsequently dispersing them entirely.

Then, ten mechanical spheres descended, shutting down automatically, and Kane stored them in his space equipment.

Only then did Kane sit down on the ground to rest for a moment, taking out a bottle of water to drink.

During these two months, Kane had spent a considerable amount of time training and battling, finally fully mastering his first rule.

The first rule he mastered was fully aligned with the comprehension of his Origin Skills.

The purpose was to reduce the consumption of objects created by his Origin Skills, making them more sustainable.

To enhance the speed at which the created objects were constructed, allowing him to create what he wanted in even less time.

In fact, Kane's speed in constructing objects was already fast, but the issue was that everything he constructed was exceptionally complex.

If Kane were merely constructing simple structures like sword and shield, the speed would be exceptionally fast.

Almost instantaneous, but now Kane is constructing various firearms, intelligent weapons, and high-precision Floating Cannons, which are nearly impossible to create instantly.

During the Silver Peak phase battles, Kane felt that the speed of creating things began to lag behind the combat rhythm.

So he sought to comprehend such a rule to allow his Origin Skills to keep up with gold-level combat.

Now, the constructions in battle are almost instantaneous, even the mecha that Kane uses typically won't take more than three seconds.

And after the mecha were broken, they could almost instantly be repaired, not affecting intense combat.

And now, with the help of the Intelligent Cores, Kane hardly needs to act himself, already stepping into the Summoning Stream.

Kane now mostly relies on his nearly 100-meter skill range to manufacture intelligent weapons for the Intelligent Core to control.

While he merely constructs various mechanical equipment and maintains the expenditures.

During these two months, besides comprehending rules in ordinary times, he started designing more advanced weapons because the previous ones couldn't keep up with the pace of battles anymore.

Many weapons could hardly damage Kreya's group, instead being effortlessly destroyed by them.

This forced Kane to further delve into the Finger of the God of All Machines, as mastering many of the technologies there would certainly suffice fully.

Yet it came with severe encryption and various complex precise structures, requiring Kane to explore and learn by himself.

Each technological acquisition invariably raised Kane's strength by a tier.

Moreover, Kane was now following Lirulu for more intensive learning of higher-level magic, primarily in the area of Rune Arrays.

Kane's current strength was almost entirely linked with his level of knowledge.

When he chose to use Origin Skills to create Mechanical Weapons, this was an unavoidable issue he had to face.

The strength of his abilities and the breadth of his various responses entirely depended on his knowledge and the devices he invented.

While Kane was sitting on the ground thinking, a loud noise came from nearby.

Looking in that direction, Kane got up, patted his buttocks, tidied up, and walked towards the source of the sound. From his expression, it was clear that Kane knew why the sound came.

Under the dim light of dusk, Kane stepped on the thick snow, flipped over the small snowy hill in front of him.

The snow here had nearly all melted, as if winter had not yet arrived.

The falling snow from the sky had not yet descended to the ground before transforming into water droplets and mist, seemingly hit by something.

The bone-chilling wind around this area completely disappeared, replaced by a feeling of sultry heat.

But within this sultry heat, there was also a piercing cold, forming a bizarre sensation.

This strange feeling made the creatures within this space feel uncomfortable, as if there was something wrong with their bodies.

A phenomenon similar to having a high fever, with sweat pouring but unable to stop shivering.

Scanning the surroundings, one could understand why such a scene was occurring.

Ahead, there was Kreya, who was comprehending rules related to death.

Kane wasn't very clear about the rules Kreya was understanding, only knowing it seemed to target soul attacks.

This piercing coldness was an embodiment of that rule.

At that moment, Kreya stood at the center of this area, with black and white flames burning fiercely on her body.

The falling snow from the sky was not melted by this temperature, but struck by tiny black and white flames, one after the other.

When these black and white flames hit, they didn't directly vaporize the snow, but transformed it into water droplets or steam.

If water droplets fell to the ground, one could see frost Breath spreading from the spot they touched.

The earlier loud noise was occasionally made by Kreya condensing a large black and white fireball and throwing it toward the sea surface.

These black and white fireballs would freeze the surrounding area upon hitting the sea, creating a ghostly green scene.

Seemingly aware of Kane's arrival, Kreya opened her closed eyes, the ghostly green light in her pupils faded. The fiercely burning black and white flames on her body also converged into her body, then disappeared.

"How is it, Kreya?" Kane walked over and asked.

Hearing Kane's question, Kreya nodded and said, "Almost there, I can feel that in a day or two, I should be able to fully master this rule."

"Let's go, let's check on the others."

Hearing Kane's words, Kreya nodded and then followed him in another direction.

All of them were training in this area because it was sparsely populated, with harsh geographical conditions, almost no vegetation, and close to the sea surface. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

It was very suitable for them to train for various rules.

Longbei, Meizike, and Lilulu.

The rules they comprehended were quite different from those of Kane and the others.

Kane wielded the Authority of Creation, which was very similar to his Origin Skills, so Kane only needed to follow the Creation Rule to comprehend it.

The same situation applied to Kreya; the Authority of Death highly overlapped with Kreya's power.

But Lilulu and the others were different.

They mostly used two authorities, blending them to comprehend.

At the gold stage, understanding rules mainly involves ensuring that each rule comprehended connects with one another, combined to unleash more formidable power and effects.

It doesn't necessarily require climbing up a specific rule, as long as the rule comprehended each time is more significant than the previous stage.

For example, Meizike, his path was a mix of Life and Harmony.

He first comprehended the authority related to life, used to enhance the potions he created and the degree of injury recovery.

Later, he began to understand the authority of Harmony, making it easier for attributes of materials difficult to fuse, to create stronger potions.

Longbei's was Life and Soul, his first comprehension was also an authority related to Life, regarding constitution.

This was to give him greater endurance, and the next stage was to enhance defenses concerning the soul.

According to his brother, once at the gold stage, various levels of soul attacks would emerge; either equipping soul defense equipment or possessing soul defense Skills was necessary.

Longbei already possessed some, but more of such things could never hurt.

Lilulu's was Soul and Creation, she would extract rules related to fairy tales from these two authorities for learning.

However, in the second stage, Lilulu intended to use the opportunities granted by the Mist to comprehend fairy tale-related rules.

Currently, there were no fairy tale-related rules, Lilulu needed to understand rules close to them, then softening and creating her storybook rules.

Later, Lilulu might comprehend rules related to Harmony, without Harmony as a binder, success might not be guaranteed.

Thus, Lilulu's rule comprehension was the most challenging, and the requirements were also the highest.

However, correspondingly, in terms of rule comprehension, Lilulu's talent was unparalleled.

Such was the existence of the newborn individuals.
