Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons
Chapter 825 - 716: Magic Chalice
After Kane and his group discussed the specific matters, they went their separate ways.
Engraving the Gate of Two Realms and communicating with Facundo took them into the evening.
Kreya and Kane returned to their room.
Sitting by the bed, Kane reached into his Space Equipment and took out a blue gemstone, shaped like a drop of water.
This was something Facundo gave to Kane before he left.
In Kane's eyes, it was just another silver item. Why was it worth Facundo personally handing it to Kane?
Kreya, seeing it, said, "Isn't that what Facundo gave you before?"
Kane nodded and said, "Yes, it's what he gave me. He said he divined that it might be useful to me, so he gave me a small advance reward."
"Divination, huh?"
"Yeah, although Facundo is a Necromancer Law God, he was once a divine being, so a mage doing a bit of divination should be quite normal."
After all, he is a Law God, even if he is a Necromancer, he is still a mage, right?
As a Law God, his divination should be fairly accurate.
Saying this, Kane appraised the gemstone in his hand.
[Tear of Eternal Magic]
[Magic Material]
[Color: Silver]
[Rule: Magic Power]
[Attribute: Uses Charged Magic Stone Energy]
[Description: Gathered from the purest magic power, forming a drop-like gemstone. It can be seen as a solidified form of magic power.
It is very rare and very precious. It only forms when magic power converges exceptionally.]
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a piece of silver Magic Material.
Of course, the main focus isn't on that but rather the rule it carries, [Magic Power].
This means that any Skill Stone extracted from this Magic Material is guaranteed to be strongly related to magic power.
It's like a small-range targeted Skill Extraction.
This should be Kane's third piece of Magic Material containing a rule.
Kane also more or less grasped a bit of the rule within it.
Magic Materials with rules are not necessarily rare and precious, but their origin is certainly special.
They must be of an existence that's unreplicable or extremely hard to replicate.
It gives off a sense of uniqueness.
But, no matter the case, given the possession of this Magic Material, it should be extracted immediately.
Materials with a rule attribute have never disappointed Kane with the Skills they produce.
Even if it's not the best among Kane's Skills, it's generally above average and always useful.
Thinking of this, Kane wasted no time and summoned the [Book of Adventure].
"Huh? What's this book?" Kreya asked, puzzled, as she saw the ancient book suddenly appear in Kane's hand.
She could feel that the book was imbued with a strong aura of Kane.
And in her perception, there was something strange about it, existing yet not existing.
It felt as if it were a part of Kane's arm.
Kane wasn't surprised at Kreya's sudden ability to see his [Book of Adventure], not even a hint of astonishment on his face.
As if he knew this situation would happen.
To Kreya's question, he simply explained, "This book is the manifestation of my Origin Skills."
Upon hearing Kane's words, Kreya nodded in realization.
"No wonder, I always felt this thing was like a part of your body. So that's it."
Kreya believed Kane's explanation.
And Kane wasn't deceiving Kreya either, because now this thing might truly be such an existence.
Subsequently, Kane opened the first page, turning to the Extraction Array.
Without placing his hand on it, the array began to operate on its own.
[Skill Extraction]
[Do you wish to consume a Silver Magic Stone to extract a skill?]
[Yes] [No]
"Yes"
[Detecting Magic Material with rule attributes]
[To use, please first toss the Magic Material into the array]
Kane directly threw the teardrop material in his hand into the array.
As the Magic Stone and material vanished, the array began to rotate slowly.
The revolving brilliance was no longer the same as before, not visible to outsiders.
Kreya next to him was clearly watching this moment.
It was her first time seeing such a scene, so she stared without blinking, looking quite curious.
Next, a silver Skill Stone floated out of the array, gently drifting into Kane's hand.
"So this is the whole process of a Skill Stone appearing? It's really interesting to watch," Kreya remarked.
Hearing Kreya's words, Kane smiled without saying much more.
Instead, he directly began to identify the new Skill Stone in his hand.
[Name: Cup of Magic Power]
[Category: Active Skills]
[Color: Silver]
[Explanation: A skill usable once every three days. Upon using this skill, you will have infinite magic power for three seconds.
After three seconds, regardless of how much magic power remains when the skill ends, your body's magic power will stabilize at 1/3 capacity.]
[Description: Cup of Magic Power, a legendary goblet supposedly made of pure magic power, born from the tides of magic power.
Its bearer is said to wield infinite magic power, blessed by magic, becoming a child of magic.]
Looking at the skill in his hand,
Kane inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
Isn't this just like the Holy Grail Blessing he once used in that arena dungeon?
Having infinite magic power for a limited time, except now it's become a skill, though it's been somewhat diminished.
But at least it can now be used once every three days.
Undeniably, this is indeed an exceptionally powerful skill for Kane.
Though the time is only three seconds.
It seems it still needs to be upgraded to the golden level.
Given the skill's attributes and quality, it's entirely worth Kane upgrading it to the golden level.
He wonders how long the duration of infinite magic power would extend upon reaching the golden level.
Three seconds of infinite blue energy means three seconds of invincibility for Kane.
There is not much difference between the two.
Kane's origin skill and the way he uses it.
It means that in those three seconds, Kane is in a state of invincibility, even akin to divinity.
However, the damage Kane can inflict in this current phase is limited to those three seconds.
After all, the larger and more intricate the object created, the longer it takes.
So, you could consider those three seconds as a means of creation, ignoring distance.
Hopefully, the upgraded duration will bring more surprises for Kane.
"Looks like this skill stone really suits your taste, your face is about to crack from smiling," Kreya laughed beside him and reached out to tug Kane's cheek.
Kane took Kreya's hand down and held it, smiling, "Am I smiling that obviously?"
"Not obviously, but I can sense you're very happy."
Kane smiled, saying nothing.
Instead, he reopened the [Book of Adventure].
He took out a golden magic stone and a silver magic stone from the space equipment.
Kane currently has a total of three golden magic stones on him.
They were obtained when rescuing Kobok before; Kreya and others dropped them.
At that time, the first wave of attacking enemies contained three gold-level enemies.
They were all eliminated, dropping two golden magic stones.
As for the wave of enemies in the air, none of the three died, so no golden magic stones were obtained.
The third one was obtained by Bonona a few months ago, when attacking the Kingdom of Feiten, killing the general.
Even after this upgrade, Kane still has two left.
At this stage, the demand for improvement and need for gold-level power isn't as big.
Kane often keeps one or two golden magic stones on hand for emergencies.
After all, the guild's Spring of Rebirth requires magic stones for resurrection.
If you don't keep a few golden magic stones, you won't be able to resurrect people when it's needed.
You should know there are quite a few gold-level beings in the guild now.
Therefore, keeping some golden magic stones without using them is a necessity.
Otherwise, guild members who contributed may want to resurrect teammates or friends upon death, but it'd be awkward if the president can't provide the magic stones.
Thinking of this, Kane tossed the magic stone and skill stone into the extraction array.
[Upgrade this Skill Silver → Gold?]
[Yes][No]
Yes
[Array in operation, please wait...]
[Upgrade complete]
With the flow of the array, after a burst of brilliance,
a brand new golden skill stone appeared in Kane's hand.
Kane proceeded with identification.
[Name: Magic Chalice]
[Category: Active Skill]
[Color: Gold]
[Explanation: A skill that can be used once a day, granting ten seconds of infinite magic power upon use.
After ten seconds, no matter how much magic power is left, the magic power within will be restored to full.]
[Introduction: Magic Chalice, a legendary cup formed by pure magic power, born only in magic tides.
A convergence of the essence of the entire magic tide, yet some say the very Magic Chalice stirred the tide.
Regardless of how it's described, this item is legendary.
It's said that its possessor attains infinite magic power, controls the tide, elevating a world to a new height.]
10 seconds?
This time, the upgrade from silver to gold completely exceeded Kane's expectations.
In Kane's estimate, doubling the duration to six seconds was the best he could hope for.
Even if the duration was only increased to five seconds, he could accept it.
However, not only was it doubled, it was directly increased to ten seconds.
It even has a side effect of completely restoring magic power.
Yes, directly restoring magic power to full, even became an optional side effect of this skill.
This skill.
Invincible.
Kane can only describe this skill as invincible.
Perhaps he doesn't have the flashy Divine Gaze or Divine Power.
But for Kane, this skill is a subtle yet powerful force.
For others, perhaps within 10 seconds is just throwing a costless ultimate move.
The damage and effect possible are limited.
But for Kane.
10 seconds, he could plow several kilometers inside and out.
With Kane now, even with the largest and most intricate objects, unless they're made into solids, he doesn't need 10 seconds to construct them.
10 seconds, Kane can directly transform and sculpt the battlefield into a venue suitable for them.
Anywhere Kane can sense and clearly see, he can construct objects within that range.
Within 10 seconds, he can make anything in sight happen.
These are things Kane can achieve within 10 seconds.
With various skills and enhancements, under the blessing of various rules.
Kane's origin skills have reached a fairly absurd state, played to perfection by Kane.
Now with 10 seconds of non-consumable mana, adding wings to a tiger.
Nearly 200 gold-level undead?
Bring it on.
Watch me annihilate you.
Kane's heart is swelling with excitement now.
"Your excitement is a bit excessive, calm down."
Kreya placed a hand on Kane's chest.
Kane directly leaned down to kiss her: "I'm too excited right now."
