Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 30: The Words of Mysticism
The essence of the secret art is a curse.
Use the words of mysticism to combine mysterious props, stimulate the mysterious energy inside and apply it to the recipient.
Because there are so many strange and bizarre mystical items, and mystical arts do not have a set principle system like magic, mystical arts are also an empirical technique. Behind any mature and controllable mystical art are countless failures.
These failures could potentially be life-threatening.
Most mystics may never find a single word of mysticism in their entire lives.
Being able to possess one or two secret words of one's own is the highest dream of all mystics.
But as a player who is not afraid of death, there are not so many concerns.
Professional occult players can even create a collection of failed occult attempts called “10,000 ways to die” and post it online for everyone to admire.
With the continuous development of players, the secret arts have quickly grown from an unpopular system in the era to a popular system. And as the materials become more abundant, more and more top-quality items are available for players to experiment and consume, and various perverted secret words have appeared.
In the later period, the secret arts with no upper limit became the most powerful power system in the era.
Just look at Qingkong's Wings of Space and Time to realize how overbearing the late-stage secret arts can be.
However, the existing conditions do not allow Luke to complete any fancy mystical words.
You can only choose a secret technique from the available materials that can allow you to quickly acquire a certain self-protection ability.
An unexpected discovery in the Whisperers' mysterious house made Luke determine the secret language to be implemented this time.
Bloodline: Taotie
The name is very cool... because it is a secret technique developed by players, and the name was also given by players.
It’s not too high-end, but it’s very suitable for Luke at this moment.
Qingkong took out the black wooden sculpture that he bought from the Whisperer Mystery House and placed it in Luke's hand.
Although it is a little bit difficult to control two bodies at the same time, I can still do some simple interactions once I get used to it.
Luke held the wooden sculpture in both hands and turned the snake's head towards himself.
Rhythmic drumbeats sounded in the secret room.
Then, in the candlelight, shadows of trolls wearing animal skull masks appeared one after another. They surrounded Luke, beating waist drums and performing sacrificial dances.
A series of rhythmic sounds came out of his mouth.
In Luke's hand, the venomous snake carved on the outside of the wood moved.
It snaked upwards and coiled itself like a pile of poop on top of the wooden column, its head staring at Luke, its red tongue spitting out.
Qingkong walked over and placed a small piece of meat in front of the little snake.
The snake swallowed the meat in one gulp.
Then it twisted in pain.
A pair of dragon horns pierced the skin on the snake's head and stretched out, and four dragon claws grew from its abdomen.
The black snake skin flipped from the head to the tail, and the fine snake scales turned into large crystal-like dragon scales, and the color also turned red.
It raised its head and let out a slight dragon roar, and a dragon breath like a lighter flame blew out of its mouth.
A pair of fleshy wings spread out from its shoulders.
After eating the dragon meat fed by Qingkong, the little snake turned into a dragon similar to the Eastern Yinglong. It spread its wings and flew around Luke, then landed on the back of his right hand.
The tail wrapped around the wrist, and the dragon's body gradually imprinted in.
A red dragon and snake tattoo was left on the back of Luke's right hand and on his wrist.
At this time, the dance of the surrounding troll shadows turned into a cheerful rhythm.
They twisted their bodies, beat the waist drums rapidly, and danced towards Luke.
One by one they overlap with Luke.
The drum sounds and shadows gradually faded away.
At this moment, Luke felt a surge of madness rising from deep within his heart, his muscles squirmed uncontrollably, and his bones made crackling sounds.
The excruciating pain made him open his mouth but no sound came out.
Qingkong handed over a bottle of mental concentration potion, and Luke took it and drank it in one gulp.
Qingkong handed over another bottle of physical strength potion, and Luke drank it in one gulp.
The medication took effect quickly, and the pain was still there, but not unbearable.
The changes in his body functions quickly consumed his physical strength and energy. When he couldn't hold on any longer, he took a bottle of potion from Qingkong and drank it.
At this moment, Luke began to be glad that he did not choose the words of advanced secret techniques. If he had really tried it, he would probably have exploded and died in an instant.
The pain and body changes persist.
It took two hours before it gradually became stable.
Luke's clothes were soaked with sweat, and there were more than a dozen empty medicine bottles on the ground.
At the same time, Luke felt the changes that the secret technique brought to him.
There were no obvious changes in his body and appearance, but the sense of strength and the enhancement of his five senses were things he could only experience in Qingkong.
Although I still feel not as good as the level 60 Qingkong, compared to my previous self, I have completely entered another realm.
Probably stronger than a two-star hero , and slightly weaker than a three-star hero.
When the physical burden brought by the increased strength was completely over, Luke couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Then he raised his right hand and looked at the tattoo on the back of his hand.
Taotie: It is a troll bloodline developed by players based on a race called the Carnivore Trolls in Mandeljung.
Players with "Taotie" bloodline have the power of trolls and their powerful recovery ability.
The carnivorous trolls also have a special ability. They can temporarily gain the power of flesh-derived creatures by eating meat.
This ability comes from the totem of their faith...Swinburne Barry Snake.
Players call it "Snake".
The Carnivore Trolls will seal the old and dead Swinburne Barry Snakes into a special tree in the Mandel Jungle .
As the Swinburne Barrie snake grows, it blends in with the tree, forming the Swinburne Barrie snake pattern on the outer layer of the trunk.
The pattern looks like it was carved.
The carnivorous troll cuts off this piece of wood and then, through a ritual, can obtain the flesh of whatever the Swinburne Barry snake eats, and thus gain the power of the meat-derived creature.
The meat must be raw in large quantities.
The ritual itself is a kind of secret art.
After a player obtained this secret technique, he improved it through experiments and created the troll bloodline secret technique "Taotie".
Players who obtain the "Taotie" bloodline do not need to eat raw meat themselves, they only need to feed the totem snake meat, and they can also store the power they gain for a certain period of time.
When the snake on the back of the hand is in dragon form, it means that a part of the power of the red dragon Neilcolon is sealed in the body of the dragon snake.
Luke released the sealed red dragon power.
Dragons and snakes flew out from the back of his hand.
It let out a roar, which was no longer the "wailing" sound from before, but a real dragon roar.
Its body also grew larger in an instant, and after circling Luke's body, it quickly turned into a spark and drilled into his body.
At this moment, Luke's eyes turned into the vertical pupils of a dragon, with golden light bursting out from the pupils.
His skin was covered in red dragon scales.
The face also showed slight changes into a dragon shape, and with every breath, sparks flew out of the nostrils.
