Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 722 - 638: Gold 2x Extraction

Since luck cannot be enhanced, let's proceed with Skill Extraction with the luck we currently have.

Everything that needed upgrading has been upgraded, it's time for the exciting phase of Skill Extraction.

Rubbing his hands, he turned the pages of the book.

Looking at the Extraction Array on the Book of Adventure in front of him.

Kane slowly pressed his palm onto it.

In his other hand, he held two Golden Magic Stones.

[Skill Extraction]

[Do you want to use Golden Magic Stones for Skill Extraction?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes"

[Extracting Skills...]

The Extraction Array in front of him began to emit a golden glow as the Golden Magic Stones in Kane's hand disappeared and started to rotate slowly.

Golden light pulsated outward.

And where the Golden Magic Stones disappeared in Kane's hand, two Skill Stones appeared.

Looking at the two newly appeared Skill Stones in hand, Kane picked one up to examine.

[Name: Celestial Punishment]

[Category: Active Skills]

[Color: Golden]

[Explanation: When using this skill, expend Magic Power to gather the surging Magic Power in your hand and then throw it into the sky.

Next, it will bring Celestial Punishment to the enemy, causing massive damage.

Depending on the amount of Magic Power used, the damage of Celestial Punishment will have three levels of intensity, increasing in power.

It can also gather multiple Magic Balls at once to cause an area-wide Celestial Punishment.]

[Introduction: This is the roar of the heavens, let the wicked be punished.]

The first skill is evidently an absolute strong offensive capability, entirely born to inflict more damage.

The attack is also very user-friendly, divided into three levels and able to cause area damage.

However, the exact damage of this skill and its casting speed remain unknown.

By looking at the prerequisites alone, it can be inferred that this skill might not be instantaneous; it requires some preparation time.

This leads to certain demands on its range of use and timing.

Then he looked at the other Skill Stone.

[Name: Eternal Firm]

[Category: Automatic Skills]

[Color: Golden]

[Explanation: Creates a protective shield like a golden eggshell lasting for three seconds, completely covering an object, rendering it invulnerable to outside forces.

Each use requires a cooldown period of one month.]

[Introduction: Eternal firmness with absolute rules.]

(Invincible!)

This skill is unexpectedly an Automatic Skill, Kane once acquired an Automatic Skill before.

Such skills do not occupy space in the Skill Grid, simply placing them in the Skill Stone warehouse allows automatic use.

Similarly, it has an extended cooldown period of one month per use.

Perhaps this is a common trait of Automatic Skills.

However, more joy came from Kane's understanding of this skill's introduction and explanation.

Both the introduction and explanation reflected the annotation below.

Invincible!

This signifies that this skill should confer a three-second invincibility effect.

The three-second invincibility effect is utterly absurd whether for saving lives or attacking, truly a powerful skill.

Spending six Magic Stones at once undoubtedly brings a significant enhancement, but six Magic Stones also mean Kane needs more time to learn and adapt to the effects brought by these new skills.

Kane instantly vanished from the bed, reappearing in the training ground of the Platinum Palace.

After some thought, he felt this place seemed somewhat too small, so he immediately returned to the Guild Hall.

It was nighttime, and the Guild Hall was scarcely populated, with only a few members still drinking.

Kane directly entered the training ground.

Upon entering, he immediately saw a figure not far away using black and white flames to attack on the platform.

"Kreya!"

Hearing the distant call, Kreya turned her head and extinguished the flames.

Then, with a few flashes, she appeared in front of Kane.

"Why are you back at the training ground so late?" Kreya asked curiously.

Suddenly thinking of something, she nodded knowingly: "You got new skills, so you're here to experiment, right?"

Kane pinched her cheek with a smile: "Smart, since I'm here, why don't you accompany me to experiment a bit? I need your involvement for some skills."

Kreya nodded.

Kane placed the newly extracted Skill Stones and upgraded skills all into the Skill Grid.

He decided not to place High-Level Magic Power Reserve and Glory Promotion in just yet.

The first skill he was eager to test was Celestial Punishment, which piqued his interest greatly.

Absolute strong attack skills, I want to try out just how absurd the damage of this skill can be.

As the knowledge and experience of the Skill Stone flooded into his mind, Kane closed his eyes slightly, then extended his right hand into a claw shape, gathering a mass of Magic Power in his palm.

The Magic Power gathered in his palm, condensed into a mass, like a Magic Power-filled sphere.

The Magic Power in his palm wasn't anything special, just a mix of Magic Power.

Then a trace of peculiar energy was injected into it.

Kane held the Magic Ball in his hand and forcefully projected it into the distant sky.

The Magic Ball's speed was extremely swift, like a meteor, reaching the high sky in an instant, then immediately disappeared, turning into something resembling clouds.

The clouds quickly transformed into dark clouds, and the rumbling thunder could be heard as a large amount of Magic Power gathered within.

At this moment, Kane could sense that he could control the thunderclouds to attack downward.

He flicked his finger downward.

"Boom!"

A massive thunder sound, blue and black lightning intertwined, striking straight down.

The speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already hit the ground.

The stone slab beneath his feet was directly pierced through completely in the space of about one person, while the surroundings remained unaffected.

Stage 1's attack power was enormous and had very strong penetration, with the target location alone being assaulted and energy very concentrated.

Though it's called lightning, it felt more like Kane's used Light Speed Attack, equally gathered and rapid.

The gathered and penetrating energy brought damage that surely won't disappoint.

Kane closed his eyes again, a larger Magic Ball appeared in his hand, and this time took longer to condense compared to before.

Then again, forcefully throwing it into the sky, the sphere's speed in the air noticeably slower than just now.

It seems the stronger attack requires a longer prelude.

Again, it transformed into dark clouds, not much different from before, just seemingly broader and heavier cloud layers.

With another swing came a thunderbolt straight down.

This time it was black, blue, and yellow intertwined.

Moreover, the lightning was more than twice as thick as before, the sound this time was deafening, causing Kane to involuntarily cover his ears.

And the inflicted damage did not disappoint them.

A circular hole with a meter radius appeared on the stone slab.

It seemed to be just this, but Kane knew the three-color lightning caused three different kinds of damage, each with significant penetration.

Now it's time to use the strongest power of the third-level attack, consuming even more Magic Power.

Kane needed to use both hands to gather this time, as the required Magic Power made the sphere bigger than half of Kane's body.

Kane's internal Magic Power shrank by half during this attack, entirely merging into the Magic Ball in front.

The maximal Celestial Punishment's Magic Power consumption was somewhat exaggerated, and Kane's current Magic Power shouldn't be underestimated.

Then Kane forcefully pushed the Magic Ball between his hands outward.

This time for some reason, the Magic Ball didn't fly quickly to the sky but ascended slowly at a speed completely visible to the naked eye.

Then in the sky, it broke into surrounding dispersing ripples, transforming into massive dark clouds completely covering the sky.

Amidst the thick black thunderclouds, thunder rolled, and various lightning could be seen shuttling within the clouds.

A heart-stirring surge of Magic Power was gathered above.

The slow formation speed brought an immense attack range, much larger than before.

The entire sky darkened.

This time, Kane swung down again.

However, there was no huge roar like before, it was silent.

A gigantic light column six meters in diameter stabbed straight down.

Multicolored lightning covered the light column, overlapping inside and out.

The giant light column brought massive light pollution, causing Kane and them to squint slightly.

The energy generated by the light column crazily rushed towards the ground.

When the light column disappeared, a huge hole appeared on the stone slab, even the seawater below was pierced through, like a deep well suddenly created.

This was true Celestial Punishment, completely different from the previous first and second levels, fundamentally different things.

If the previous first and second levels' power were 1 and 2 respectively, then the final level directly became 50~100.

It's not a gradual step, but a big leap.

Though also increasing a numeral, the power gap is so vast.

It's not that Kane underestimates himself, Celestial Punishment's third-level attack is undoubtedly the greatest damage he can currently cause.

Not even the large-scale bombs used previously in the Golden Dungeon could achieve such a remarkable effect.

Because the light column was formed by energy gathered together, if this energy exploded instead of being gathered to penetrate, the resulting energy explosion would be dozens of times more exaggerated than Kane could envision.

The gathered energy poses immense danger to stronger enemies, an absolute deadly thing.

Kreya, beside him, watching this scene, couldn't help but speak.

"It seems you've gained an incredible skill this time; now I'm really looking forward to seeing how this attack feels on an enemy's head."

Hearing Kreya's words, Kane chuckled and couldn't help but anticipate.

Though the formation of the third-level attack is slow, the gathered energy ball, frankly, is very deceptive.

When enemies see the Magic Power possessed by that Energy Ball, they would never imagine it could cause such exaggerated damage.

Kane roughly understood the formation process of Celestial Punishment.

The so-called Energy Ball was merely a trigger, and when it appeared in the sky turning into dark clouds, it gathered massive energy, and this Energy Ball was merely bait to gather all the surrounding energy.

Spending minimal Magic Power to cause massive damage is the essential effect of Celestial Punishment. This skill's core outcome.
