Chapter 78: 【Witchcraft】Transmutation Pool!

~8 min read 1,430 words

Steam Tower 12th floor.

Even if the indoor wall lamps and wall furnaces have no light source.

The steam ring's light outside still manages to give the room enough brightness.

At this moment, Ta Ke, who was eating snacks, sat opposite the Steam Knight 'Xiluo'er'.

At the Necromancer Mage Tower, there aren't such tasty little trinkets.

As the transcendent's strength increases.

After the flesh truly transmutes into a 'transcendent state lifeform'.

Basically, one can detach from the bodily life state, needing food, water, and other resources.

Transcendents who also possess the 'transcendent state'.

They will also have a longer lifespan and a longer peak period.

However, the transcendent state is at least something only intermediate transcendents can access.

Now Ta Ke is merely a first-rank transcendent.

That state is still far away.

As for food and water, Ta Ke not only needs them but also enjoys the process.

Beside him is Kalosu, who gazes at the steam ring outside, wearing an unnatural expression of not recognizing the great Light Sovereign.

Although the Light Sovereign and the deity believed in by the Transcendent Nation to which the Saili'angsi Duchy belongs have nothing to do with each other.

Three days!

Ta Ke and Kalosu have already been up there for a full three days.

If it weren't for Ta Ke forcibly dragging Kalosu away.

Kalosu would probably continue staying there.

When Ta Ke pulled him away, Kalosu was still shouting.

"Damn Ta Ke, you destroyed my dark angel's inheritance."

"First of all, that's not a dark angel, it's a fallen angel. Moreover, you came to the wrong place to inherit a fallen angel." In the end, Ta Ke forcibly turned Kalosu into a sheep and took him away.

Without a doubt, Kalosu is a bit abnormal.

Ta Ke had already noticed some clues earlier.

In itself, the Steam Tower has already been contaminated to a certain extent.

Plus the current situation's severity.

The desire and pursuit of power have already been etched into many people's subconscious.

The erosion of desire on one's mind is far more direct than the Dark Sun.

The appearance of light seems to have stimulated the Dark Sun, turning it into a catalyst.

Many people act even crazier than Kalosu.

During these three days, Ta Ke knows of four fanatics who jumped from the balcony into the steam ring to embrace the light.

They almost without exception murmured softly.

"I feel the light."

"The light is calling me."

"Great Sovereign, I am your devout follower!"

A height of over a hundred meters.

Of the four people, two died on the spot.

The other two were lucky survivors.

One of them, the next day, jumped again from the nearby Priest Tower; this time he got his wish.

As for that knight, after being saved, he firmly believed he was a Light Knight and sought to purify the outside darkness.

Seven or eight priests simply couldn't hold him down.

After rushing into the darkness, he was never seen again.

Of course, the appearance of the steam ring's light also isn't without benefits.

At least, Ta Ke can feel that some of the Dark Sun pollution sources around are slowly being purified.

At the same time, members of the Dark Sun Church also dare not casually approach the tower area.

Light itself is a deterrent.

The gaze withdrew gradually from Kalosu, who had been staring out the window at the steam ring.

The ever-composed Xiluo'er now had worry written all over her face.

"Kalosu doesn't have any serious problems; after the priest clears the pollution and does some psychological counseling for a while, he'll recover."

Ta Ke comforted from the side.

"I know."

After taking a deep breath, Xiluo'er gradually returned to her aloof Steam Knight state.

"But the current situation is that if we don't quickly resolve the Dark Sun's pollution and erosion, or leave La More,"

"improvement is only temporary."

"Moreover, we must constantly monitor his condition; a moment's inattention will quickly send him sliding into deeper pollution."

"Kalosu is not like you."

Xiluo'er examined Ta Ke and said seriously.

"The Dark Sun cannot leave a trace on you, but it can easily wipe out Kalosu."

"Then let's speed up the progress of the Demon King's Tomb."

Ta Ke, rubbing his palm, provided a solution.

"Aren't those big shots above also waiting for the progress of the Demon King's Tomb?"

"After all... this might also be the last thing they can get from Lamoer."

"How much longer is needed before it can be opened?"

"One week." Xiluoer's tone was somewhat uncertain.

"I'm talking about level 18."

"Do you want someone to go in first?" Xiluoer's sharp, curved-eyed gaze slightly lifted.

"Is that not allowed?"

"I believe in your strength, but the problem is... those big shots won't allow us to do that." Xiluoer shook his/her head.

"Shenglande, Wumu Fortress, Heihe Valley, Red Blood Lake High Tower City-state, etc."

"Their experts are all helping Lamoer resist the erosion of the Eclipse."

"We want to break away from them and act alone."

"They would dare to abandon Lamoer on the spot and flee with the funds."

"I'm afraid that when you come out, those waiting outside won't be Lamoer's people."

"But rather, the Eclipse Church Archbishop, the three bishops, and many priests will be there to greet you."

"Someone like you, a genius, they would be happy to turn you into a follower of the Eclipse Church, even become... a vessel for the Son of Eclipse; I've heard they've been searching for such a vessel lately."

"That cold joke of yours was told very well!"

Ta Ke reluctantly agreed, then immediately shook his head.

"The idea of a head start is impossible,"

Xiluoer's gaze, unintentionally, fell on Carlos again.

After a moment, Xiluoer seemed to suddenly think of something.

"Right, you've been training at the Undead High Tower this whole time."

"There's an important matter that hasn't been notified to you yet."

"That is, the Lamoer Steam High Tower's Supernatural Ability Conversion Pool has been opened, and it's specifically for those entering the Demon King's Tomb this time."

Ta Ke's heart leapt slightly upon hearing that.

"Is it free?"

Ta Ke never forgets to mooch resources off Lamoer.

"How could that be possible."

Xiluoer shook his/her head.

"Half price!"

"Half price?" Ta Ke laughed.

"Being able to get half price is already good, and moreover, the opening of the conversion pool is usually rare."

Ta Ke currently has many supernatural arts at his disposal.

Bullet Tentacle, Blood Thorn Vine, Fire Oil Technique, Wind-Speed Sprint, Origin Scale Shield.

These are the basic arts Ta Ke has learned.

Ta Ke merely used the system to upgrade them all and conducted in-depth development.

Plus, with the advantage of the Primordial Dark Sea's source energy and the synergy of the second-tier Light-Shaping Spear, these arts become relatively powerful.

Essentially, these arts are still of the weaker type.

Now, as Ta Ke gradually gains his own unique mage methods and abilities,

then these basic mage arts should also be replaced.

Currently, Ta Ke has already raised these arts to a higher level, and has conducted in-depth research in all aspects.

Replacing a similar art would necessarily require starting training from scratch.

Basically, the time, effort, and source energy accumulated so far would all go down the drain overnight.

Changing methods means having to start cultivation from the beginning.

This situation, when the supernatural sequence is not yet perfected, is indeed a major drawback.

This leads many supernatural beings to not dare to deeply study those common arts at all.

But now, in the steam supernatural era where the supernatural sequence is already well perfected,

the Supernatural Ability Conversion Pool will perfectly solve this problem.

Inside the Supernatural Ability Conversion Pool,

supernatural beings can establish a conversion bridge.

allowing the same-type spells/abilities, within one's own ecology, to complete the absorption of levels, and even devour the traits of same-type spells.

For example, Ta Ke had long planned a powerful one-star arcane art, the Arcane Bullet.

Then the level and source energy experience invested in Bullet Tentacle can be transferred into the Arcane Bullet.

Ta Ke remembers that their similarity reached 92%.

Thus, 92% of Bullet Tentacle's spell traits and source energy experience will be absorbed into the Arcane Bullet.

Bullet Tentacle, Blood Thorn Vine, Fire Oil Technique, Wind-Speed Sprint, Origin Scale Shield.

These few arts can no longer keep up with Ta Ke's pace.

Ta Ke originally intended to replace these arts.

Now the opportunity has arrived.

Ta Ke naturally will not miss it.
