Chapter 125: Obtaining Dual Wielding and Mage Talent! Entering the Ancient Domain

Caelus did not chase after them. He focused on the null players he had just eliminated and initiated extraction.

Ding!

[Extraction Failed...]

[You have received the Talent: Dual Wielding (C-Rank)]

[Dual Wielding (C-Rank): Equip two weapons simultaneously.]

"Not bad. At least I got one hit." Caelus nodded. It seems like he needed to forge himself another Origin Light Sword.

"I need to get the Mage talent today," Caelus said. "After this, we are going to hunt in the Ancient Domains. We need more power for that."

"That guy must still be lingering around our Region Cluster," Caelus said, turning to Sylvia.

Mia looked at them with visible confusion.

"Are you after Sebastian? I can help with finding him," Mia proposed.

"Why?" Caelus tilted his head. "I thought you considered us enemies."

"It was a mistake," Mia said softly.

Indeed, she had seen Caelus’s actions up until now. He could not possibly be an envoy. She initially thought Sylvia was an envoy too after seeing her Fighting Spirit, but no system quest triggered for her. That meant Sylvia was not one either.

"Let’s get going then," Caelus nodded.

Soon, they began their search. After an hour, they finally found Sebastian. It was Mia who tracked him down.

They were engaged in a fierce battle when a terrifying bolt of lightning descended from the sky.

"I will deal with him. Thanks for finding him."

Before Mia left the area, Caelus made sure she hid her appearance and name. This was a royal. He would never let her or Fortis City go if he found out her real identity. Hence, her display name simply read: [Player 101].

"Player 555. Are you really going to move against the royal family?" Sebastian sneered, stepping back. "We know you are somewhere between Golden Eagle City and Fortis City. We know many ways to force you out and reveal your true self."

"If you dare harm me, you will face severe consequences!"

"Iris."

Sebastian swiftly placed down an anti-magic barrier around himself as he prepared for battle.

But Caelus simply smiled. He raised his hand.

LIGHTNING SINGULARITY!

INFERNO POINT!

It was an incredibly strong combination. It allowed him to increase the temperature to a terrifying degree around the selected area. Most importantly, since this skill was powered by pure Chaos Axiom Energy, the anti-magic barrier was completely useless against him.

BOOM!

The chaotic energy effortlessly shattered Iris, Sebastian’s anti-magic barrier. The intense heat immediately began melting his flesh.

"ARGH—!"

Only his agonizing screams echoed as he was burned away into nothing.

Seeing this, Caelus stepped forward.

Ding!

[Extraction Successful.]

[You have obtained the Talent: Mage (Upper A-Rank)]

"I got all of Sebastian’s abilities too," Caelus grinned.

His Endless Extraction never disappointed him.

[Spell Calculator (Legendary, 2-Star)]

[Details: Spells are complex structures that need to be solved. This skill allows one to compute the structure and solve it to unleash its power. Solving speed: 1/s for Common, 2/s for Rare, 4/s for Epic, 6/s for Legendary, 12/s for Mythical.]

[Cost: 1 for Common, 2 for Rare, 4 for Epic, 8 for Legendary, 16 for Mythical Mental Power / CA]

Ding!

[It has been detected that you possess the trait "Parallel Calculation".]

[Merging Spell Calculator and Parallel Calculation...]

[Divine Calculation: Your mind is equivalent to a god’s. You can process 60 split consciousness all at once. Your new spell processing speed is: 0.2/s for Common, 0.4/s for Rare, 1/s for Epic, 2/s for Legendary, 4/s for Mythical.]

[Cost: 1 for Common, 2 for Rare, 3 for Epic, 4 for Legendary, 5 for Mythical Mental Power / CA]

This was incredible. He had received a massively powerful calculation skill. He could officially use spells now, and he could even create them with spell creation.

[Spell Creation (Mythical, 2-Star)]

[Details: Form spells by using Hex Paper containing the structures of spells.]

[Mythical Effect: Starting now, there is a small chance for beasts and enemies to drop Hex Papers that can be utilized to create new spells.]

The Mage talent was extremely interesting. It was entirely based on mental calculations and instead of needing a fixed amount like skills, it scaled with rarity. With his new skill, he could process them at lightning-fast speeds. But he did not test them out just yet. Mia was nearby.

’Is he dead for real?’ Caelus looked at the charred remains of Sebastian silently.

He did not think so. As a royal, Sebastian must have life-saving treasures equipped. Killing a royal would not be that easy unless he did it in real life. Life-saving items were the most sought-after treasures, and the Solaris Kingdom’s royal family hoarded all of them for themselves.

’Once I get my hands on the Awakening Stone, I will be heading straight to the Silver Rank.’

With that thought, he, Sylvia, and Mia left the Origin Domain after their allowed time ended. They just did some basic maintenance here and there and kept other stray players at bay.

This was the perfect time to enter an Ancient Domain in the real world and grab some high-tier rewards since they couldn’t level up right now. Luckily, Mia knew exactly how to get into one. There was a domain gate located very close to Golden Eagle City.

It was labeled "The Judgment of Osiris". It had massive pyramids inside and had not been fully explored yet.

He wanted to make use of this rare opportunity to acquire a Chaos Awakening Stone by clearing the trials.

Soon, they set off and arrived at the trial area. Here, there were a few Silver Rank awakeners gathered as well. But they were all stuck at Silver I. The vast majority of the crowd were Bronze II and higher.

This specific Ancient Domain could only be entered by those in the Bronze and Silver ranks.
