Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 683 - 603: Spoils of War

Looking at this pile of battle loot, there are a total of 5 items.

The most eye-catching are a pair of arm guards, a necklace resembling Buddha beads, and a mask like a ghostly face.

The remaining two, judging by appearances, seem to be materials or tools.

The first step in identification, of course, has to start with the equipment.

Kane picked up the arm guards for identification.

This pair of arm guards should be the same pair the bald strongman was wearing on his arms just now.

The golden arm guards are curved, fitting closely to the forearms, with engravings of monk-like figures and some undecipherable scriptures.

[Compassion]

[Arm Armor]

[Color: Golden]

[Attributes:]

[Provides a large amount of strength]

[Shield Penetration] (Attacks will penetrate the energy shield.)

[Crushing] (When the attacking power exceeds the enemy's power by 1.5 times, a crushing effect occurs, doubling the damage.)

[Skill: Compassion] (Will never pose a life-threatening danger to the enemy, but the attack will make the enemy clearly aware of their mortality and inability to stand as an enemy.)

[Introduction: An attack with compassion, focusing on awakening and repentance, rather than eliminating enmity from the heart.]

Kane looked at the attributes and skills of this equipment, the attributes were quite easy to understand, but the skill was a bit peculiar.

An attack that won't endanger life but will make the enemy clearly understand they can die.

Roughly it should mean beating those arrogant people with the strongest blow to make them realize their disparity and give up hostility.

Kind of like showing mercy.

Yes, that should be it.

Without a doubt, this equipment is definitely most suitable for Kreya, secondly for Kane and Longbei.

Kane handed the equipment to Kreya and explained the attributes and skills to her.

After receiving it, Kreya tried it out.

The second piece of equipment is one of the strings of Buddha beads previously on the bald strongman's wrist, though there's only one string here.

These Buddha beads look like round balls carved from wood, strung together.

Each bead is carved with different monk-like human faces, emitting a woody sandalwood fragrance that is quite refreshing.

[Eternal Memory]

[Bracelet]

[Color: Golden]

[Attributes:]

[Illusion Resistance]

[Will Enhancement]

[Ignore Pain]

[Skill: Eternal Memory] (A firmly rooted thought spirals in the mind, lasting 10 seconds, during which any mental attack or deceit is completely ineffective.)

[Introduction: Ascetics experiencing various spiritual hardships hone their mental will, making it unbreakable, and this bracelet bears witness to it all.]

This equipment, from attributes to skills, is all about various forms of mental resistance, substantially weakening any attacks on the mind and will, let alone the skill granting ten seconds of mental invincibility.

It's virtually a pure defense item, just an internal mental defense.

No need to say more, this skill is definitely more suitable for Longbei, then comes everyone else who can use it.

Then Kane handed the beads to Longbei, explaining the skill attributes to him.

Next is the mask.

This mask is in the shape of a ghost face, like a malevolent ghost from Shura, with a color scheme of red and black, sinister eyes, and gaping fangs.

Kane tried it on, finding it doesn't affect vision, only feeling like a thin film was laid on the face, adjusting details according to face shape.

[Face of Evil]

[Mask]

[Color: Golden]

[Mental Attack Enhancement]

[Spell Strength Enhancement]

[Incorporates Malicious Attack] (Attacks will inflict mental damage, maliciously disturbing the soul and will of the enemy.)

[Skill: Evil Stance] (Enter the evil stance, lasting one minute, attribute bonuses from equipment are doubled. One's will becomes resilient; the more upright and pure, the less fearful of malicious disturbances.)

[Introduction: An ascetic monk struggling against the evil ghost within one's heart, eventually defeating and sealing it, then crafting a mask with compassion.]

This equipment obviously suits Lulu the best, followed by Meizike, as the rest are less appropriate.

Especially after using the skill, there are additional negative effects. If Lulu uses it, whether she is upright is unclear, but purity is certain.

After contemplating, Kane gave the mask to Lulu, and then explained the attributes, skill effects, and its negative effects to her.

Once the equipment identification is finished, they will observe how severe the negative effects are.

If the negative effects are too strong, it's better to stash it in the Space Equipment, or refrain from using the skill.

But without using the skill, the equipment becomes rather lackluster.

The remaining two loots are completely unrelated to equipment.

One is a magic material similar to gold, and the other seems to be a golden-level magic item.

Kane picked up the magic item to inspect first.

This is a small sculpture similar in appearance to a statue of Buddha, its face carved without any features, standing with hands clasped. Its robe bears densely packed scripture.

[Recitation of Scripture]

[Sculpture]

[Color: Golden]

[Attributes:]

[Unbreakable]

[Reciting the Scripture] (Monks and related professions can gain more enlightenment by practicing recitation towards the sculpture.)

[Insight and Wisdom] (Looking at the sculpture can quickly dispel one's negative emotions and slowly enhance willpower.)

[Skills: Evil Retreat] (Radiates light, any creature with evil attributes exposed to the light will experience a burning effect, which will infinitely stack.)

[Introduction: Monks who have achieved supreme practice channel their lifetime perceptions into the carving knife, creating a Buddha figure with heart and mind.]

You can say this equipment is useful, it definitely is, but its usefulness is limited or hard to encounter situations where it's needed.

But once the occasion arises, it becomes extremely useful.

For example, when dealing with large-scale evil attribute monsters, especially in dungeons filled with undead, simply bathe in the golden light and advance directly.

Kane placed this equipment in the space equipment, just in case it might be useful someday.

The final item is a piece of golden magic material with extremely abundant energy.

Kane thought for a moment and took out the previously half-charged golden magic stone from the space equipment, then placed it on the magic material.

Golden energy flowed into the magic stone like threads.

After a while, the golden material turned to ashes.

Looking at the ashes in his hand, it seems that once golden materials are used for charging, they directly turn into ashes instead of dimming and becoming ordinary like silver and copper ones.

And the golden magic stone in hand is now completely charged.

It seems a golden magic stone requires two portions of golden magic materials to be fully charged, which can be considered good news.

After identifying the equipment, Kane turned to look at his teammates.

"How's it, the golden equipment works pretty well, right?"

Longbei, holding a string of Buddha beads, said, "The effect doesn't feel very obvious."

"How could you feel anything with spirit defense equipment, you only notice when getting attacked and realize how resilient your mental will is," Kane replied helplessly.

At this time, Kreya returned the arm armor to Kane.

"What's up?" Kane asked in confusion.

Kreya shook her head and said, "This equipment isn't quite suitable for me, plus the Lion Suit is about to be promoted to golden equipment."

"So soon?" Kane asked with some surprise.

Although knowing Kreya's origin skills allow equipment to upgrade, he didn't expect it so quickly, considering it's been less than three months since Kreya's promotion to gold.

Kreya explained, "You can't calculate the promotion by the time of becoming golden. The Lion Suit was already maintained to the top level at the silver level.

After promotion to gold, I focused on nurturing it, reducing energy for other equipment. Plus, it's a suit with stronger energy and foundation, allowing quicker promotion to gold."

Hearing Kreya's explanation, Kane nodded, realizing there is no need for excessive surprise.

Since Kreya won't use it, Kane didn't hold back and directly wore the equipment.

The most direct feeling was a significant increase in strength, slightly beyond Kane's control.

"Wow!"

Lilulu flashed before them, wearing a face of evil and making scary sounds.

"Haha, Lilulu is an evil ghost, ready to eat you!"

Lilulu held her hands like claws, flying around them with her mask.

Kane helplessly stretched out a finger, flicking Lilulu's forehead: "Stop playing, test if using skills affects you in any way."

"How could anything affect Lilulu, just watch!"

Speaking, Lilulu entered an evil stance, black-red aura enveloping her entire body through the mask.

Even Lilulu's colorful crystal-like wings transformed to resemble bat wings.

The whole person exuded a bloodthirsty, savage aura.

"Hahahaha! This truly is an excellent vessel! I'm free again!"

A sinister, low voice hoarsely emerged from Lilulu's mouth.

Both in tone and essence, dramatically different from Lilulu, as if Lilulu had been completely taken over by the evil ghost sealed in the evil stance.

However, everyone wasn't flustered but instead watched Lilulu's performance with bemused expressions.

"Honestly, it's overacting." Kane couldn't help but comment.

Kreya beside him nodded in agreement.

Their sharp senses could perceive Lilulu's evil aura was merely the surface layer of flame membrane, essentially retaining her peculiar fairy tale aura.

Mostly, Lilulu's fairy tale aura was notably recognizable, very unique.

Seeing everyone unmoved, Lilulu dejectedly reverted her voice.

"Lilulu did not act convincingly? Next time will need improvement."

Speaking, Lilulu reached out, grabbed the mask fiercely, pulling out a black-red phantom, and threw it on the ground.

Lilulu gave the ground phantom a hard kick: "Don't alter Lilulu's cute appearance, return it!"

The ground phantom trembled and nodded, then merged back into the mask.

Then Lilulu's body and wings reverted to their previous appearance, albeit still enveloped in a black-red aura.

Only then was Lilulu satisfied, pushed the mask atop her head, and exited the evil stance.

Kane realized his previous worry was entirely unnecessary as he watched this scene.
