Chapter 33: Level 1 Death Magic
Chapter 33: Level 1 Death Magic
【You opened the Black Iron Chest (Hero) and obtained】
【Death Mage Class Change Certificate】
【Beginner Death Magic Book】
【Beginner Treasure: Ore Cart】
【Beginner Treasure: Death Mage Robe】
【Beginner Treasure: Bone Wand】
"Truly, this is a Black Iron Chest with a hero suffix. Although it didn't give me gold or resources, the items are far better."
The Death Mage Class Change Certificate and the Beginner Death Magic Book are both inheritances of the Death Mage. The former records cultivation and training methods, while the latter records Level 1 Death Magic, with only five spells.
They are: Weakness Curse, Disintegration Ray, Death Fog, Dark Rot, and Magic Arrow.
Indeed, Qin Muye also saw the Magic Arrow, a Death Magic version of the Magic Arrow. The description was identical to his Fire Magic Arrow, with no change in damage, only the magic type being different.
【Weakness Curse: Enemy unit attack power decreases by 5 points, lasts 10 minutes, consumes 5 magic points】
【Disintegration Ray: Enemy unit defense power decreases by 5 points, lasts 10 minutes, consumes 5 magic points】
【Death Fog: Summons a dense fog, reducing the defense and attack power of enemy units within the fog by 1 point. Lasts 10 minutes, consumes 5 magic points】
【Dark Rot: Removes one positive buff from an enemy unit, consumes 5 magic points】
Out of the five Death Magic spells, all except Magic Arrow are debuffs targeting the enemy. If the Death Hero had used all these spells during their battle, Qin Muye would have definitely lost.
【Ore Cart】
【Tier: Beginner】
【Attributes】
【+10 ore per day】
The Ore Cart, a beginner treasure, is somewhat underwhelming. It provides +10 ore per day, which would have made him ecstatic before, but now, it's barely noticeable. He casually tossed it into the resource warehouse, as it increases resources passively without needing to be equipped.
However, the existence of resource-type treasures surprised Qin Muye a bit. Beginner treasures might be lackluster, but what about intermediate and advanced treasures?
But these weren't his concerns; he couldn't obtain them anyway. Instead, the Death Mage Robe and Bone Wand might be useful to him.
【Death Mage Robe】
【Tier: Beginner】
【Attributes】
【+5% Soul Summoning effect】
【+10 magic points】
【Bone Wand】
【Tier: Beginner】
【Attributes】
【+2 strength】
【+5% Soul Summoning effect】
Well, he was hasty. These items weren't useful to him, not even as good as his Apprentice Robe, which increased knowledge and defense. Without the Soul Summoning skill, they were practically useless.
While 1 point of knowledge equals 10 magic points, knowledge held far more significance for Qin Muye.
After tidying up, he took a moment to check the three newly built Magic Golem Workshops, which were now complete. He recruited all the Magic Golems inside and purchased 212 sets of standard equipment to fully arm them.
Next, he opened the Points Shop and spent 10,000 points to exchange for 5 consumables.
Each consumable had the same effect: increasing knowledge by 10 points for 24 hours, and these effects could stack.
Qin Muye wanted to survive, and simply increasing the number of Magic Golems wasn't enough. A powerful hero could sway the outcome of a war, while units were often just supplementary.
If it were before, he would have needed to exchange for consumables to increase his knowledge attribute and a Mage Class Change Certificate to become a Mage-type hero.
But now, it wasn't necessary. He had obtained a Death Mage Class Change Certificate from the chest, which, though not a rare profession, had appeared when he meditated to gain magic power.
Next, he would study the contents of the "Corpse Curse" Death Mage Class Change Certificate and attempt to transform the two Magic Golems affected by the Death Curse, aiming to see if they could become Champion-level units.
Even if they couldn't reach Champion level, he needed to find a way to neutralize or remove the Death Curse from their bodies.
Regarding how to advance to Champion level, Qin Muye believed that misfortune and fortune were intertwined. If he could integrate the Death Curse into the Magic Golems' bodies and transform it into power, even if not reaching Champion level, it would still enhance their strength.
Of course, the Magic Golems had to be able to withstand it, as it was an unbearable torment for them.
To accomplish these tasks by noon the next day, Qin Muye needed a strong learning ability, which is why he decided to increase his knowledge attribute.
As a scholar, increasing knowledge was the only way. Increasing strength would be pointless.
Using the five consumables, his knowledge attribute immediately reached 67. For an 8th-level him, even with beginner treasures equipped, he only had 17 points, which was quite underwhelming. This highlighted the gap between common and rare professions, and between Lords and heroes advanced from Champion-level units.
The difference was significant.
"After getting through this crisis, I need to find a way to quickly enhance my knowledge attribute," Qin Muye thought. With the surge in knowledge, he felt his thinking had become faster, especially in learning.
It was like upgrading from a tricycle to a Lamborghini. The sudden increase, without a gradual process, made him feel this way.
It was now or never. He picked up the "Corpse Curse" and began to read and study.
A quick glance, and he had memorized the content. After some serious contemplation, the deeper meanings started to surface.
"I underestimated the boost knowledge provides to my two talents."
He had thought it would take an afternoon to master the "Corpse Curse," but with his current progress, it would take no more than two hours to fully understand it.
Based on this, he made a new decision: if he survived the monster siege and had enough points, he would exchange for more consumables to increase his knowledge attribute as a reserve.
Outside, the activities were intense, but Qin Muye was in a peaceful state, fully immersed in his studies. He quickly found the relevant information about the Death Curse, which, like the Blood Rage in the "Blood Warrior Training Manual," was a secret technique that could be inscribed in the body, releasing a terrifying curse upon death.
The more powerful the inscribed magic, the stronger the curse upon death.
Fortunately, the Death Hero was only Level 11. If it had been higher, it would have been a total annihilation, a ruthless tactic to drag others down with him.
Through his research on the Death Curse, Qin Muye began to conceive a plan to resolve the issue and turn it into an advantage.
