Chapter 332: Chapter 202: Soul Mystery: Unextinguished Fire, Chain Blade - Call of the Underworld_1
[Do you want to solidify ’Type IV Ultimate Source of Doomsday――’Almighty True Knowledge’ into a ’Sacred Object’?]
[Please note that this solidification operation is irreversible, choose carefully!]
[Solidifying...]
[Solidification successful]
[You have received the ’Type IV Ultimate Sacred Object (Almighty True Knowledge)’]
[’Type IV Ultimate Sacred Object (Almighty True Knowledge)’: Equipping this sacred object can amplify your soul, and the amplification effect is 50%!]
[You have equipped the ’Type IV Ultimate Sacred Object (Almighty True Knowledge)’]
[This shell is affected by soul amplification, shell strength is increased by 50%!]
[Total soul amplification: 120%]
[Your soul is stronger!]
[Your soul strength has been upgraded, your current soul strength is 4/4!]
With the new equipment, Lin Xun’s limit for soul strength had increased by one point.
Although the rate of recovery remained unchanged, having a few more points on the limit certainly gave a greater sense of security.
At this moment, the game text suddenly displayed...
[Your soul’s amplification has exceeded the 100% threshold, and your powerful soul resonates with the ’Book of Salvation’.]
[Your soul will comprehend a mystery!]
[The first comprehension is a fixed mystery and will not be random.]
[Comprehending...]
Lin Xun’s eyes widened.
What is this soul mystery?
[Comprehension completed!]
[You have obtained a soul mystery-’Unquenchable Flame’!]
Lin Xun hurriedly opened the Apostle panel and found an additional line of text below Thousand Faces and Million Forms in the soul talent.
[Soul Mystery-’Unquenchable Flame’: The existence of the soul is like a weakly burning fire. When swept by a storm or when firewoods run out, the fire of the soul will also burn out. But some powerful souls can withstand the torrent of obliteration and rekindle the fire that extinguished themselves!]
[Once you comprehend this mystery, when your soul strength is reduced to zero or encounters soul obliteration, your soul will be reborn in front of the ’Book of Salvation’. As a price for rekindling the fire, your soul’s strength limit will be reduced by one point.]
"Hiss~ this mystery is indeed... quite frightening."
Lin Xun gasped in a breath of cold air.
If he had not experienced the ’Bookmark of Annihilation’ and the existence similar to the ’Cage of Impounding Stars’, he wouldn’t have realized how powerful this ’Unquenchable Flame’ soul mystery was.
Even if an Apostle dies once in a Wandering Soul state, it will only reduce a point of soul strength.
For an Apostle whose upper limit of soul strength is only two points, at the most they would only be subject to a ’title ban’ punishment.
However, after learning about the soul obliteration effect of the ’Bookmark of Annihilation’, and the ’Cage of Impounding Stars’ and ’Temple of Knowledge’ that trap Apostles so similarly, Lin Xun felt that this soul mystery was nothing short of a lifesaving technique.
He carefully chewed over the text, and the game displayed [Soul Amplification Exceeding 100%], he then comprehended the soul mystery.
Following this line of thought, once the soul strength exceeds 200% or 300%, it should also be possible to comprehend soul mysteries.
The game text indicating [The first comprehension is a fixed mystery and will not be random] also verified part of his conjecture.
However, this mystery called ’Unquenchable Flame’ seems to be a mystery that every Apostle who has over a 100% soul amplification will comprehend.
To increase soul amplification to a higher level, one must randomly comprehend mysteries.
Lin Xun carefully thought about it and didn’t feel that this ’Unquenchable Flame’ was a common mystery.
One must know how demanding the conditions are to increase soul amplification to 100%.
No Apostle has so far been able to achieve an SSS evaluation in the decoding, and even if there was, they would be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Even the top-ranked Apostles can only achieve a double S rating.
According to the current information, a double S rating yields a 20% increase in Sacred Object Soul Amplification.
An Apostle wants to comprehend soul mysteries by maintaining a high double S rating in each Chapter.
Even if it’s a nine-difficulty boss, they must maintain an S grade rating in each difficulty Chapter and at least one double S rating.
This is simply the most ideal state. Don’t forget that the ’Source of Doomsday’ has a ’uniqueness’ characteristic, even if it solidifies as a Sacred Object, it still maintains this uniqueness.
If an Apostle, after all the hardships, gets an S grade and the ’Source of Doomsday’ of that Chapter has been obtained by someone else, then he will return empty-handed and will not increase the soul amplification.
"I wonder if there are any organizational bosses who cheat potential excellent Apostles by upgrading them to ’Sacred Objects’..."
Lin Xun thought about it and figured that according to the Underworld game style, there would definitely be some restrictions on this. They would never let such things happen.
The New World is not worried about handing over the ’Source of Doomsday’ to team members for fear they would sneak back into the Library, solidify the sacred object and secretly swallow the ’Source of Doomsday’. This could explain the key.
After solidifying the Sacred Object and unexpectedly gaining powerful ’Soul Mysteries’, Lin Xun began to strengthen himself.
First, he ran to the ’Book of the Craftsman’ to see what kind of elite equipment he could produce with the materials he had accumulated.
[You reach for the ’Book of the Craftsman’, and your powerful soul resonates with the book.]
[Do you want to use the forging function of ’Book of the Craftsman’?]
The function of the ’Book of the Craftsman’ to generate blueprints is to tailor equipment for shells. Additionally, the overall equipment cost exceeds that of standard equipment.
Both the Earth Giant and the Chairman’s Watcher in the shell column have epic weapons, the former has armor, and the latter has a magic shield, so they are not lacking in defense.
The only ones without powerful weapons and armor were the Dancer and the Primordial Hermit.
Given a choice between the two to purchase equipment, Lin Xun would definitely choose the powerful Primordial Hermit.
