Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 37: The kitchen knife needs mobility
"You have a lot of ideas."

"Just tell me if you can."

The 'friend' smiled but said nothing, but a list of exchanges had already appeared in Wu Chen's perception.

[Ability Enhancement - Consumes a certain amount of energy to slightly increase all attributes within a certain range for a period of time. To purchase this skill, you need to pay 500 resource points and 1 Level 1 purchase voucher.]

[Super Ability Boost - Similar to Ability Boost, but with a greater degree of improvement. Can be combined with Ability Boost to a certain extent. To purchase this skill, you need to pay 1000 resource points and 1 Level 1 purchase voucher.]

[Super Avoidance - Consumes a certain amount of energy, enhancing your sense of danger for a certain period of time, allowing your body to instinctively react to danger. To purchase this skill, you need to pay 800 resource points and a Level 1 purchase voucher.]

[Unbreakable Fortress - Consumes a certain amount of Spirit, significantly increasing Defense for a very short period of time, and is particularly resistant to physical damage. To purchase this skill, you need to pay 1200 Resource Points and 1 Level 1 Purchase Voucher.]

[Flow Acceleration - Continuously consumes energy, significantly improving reaction speed within a certain range. To purchase this skill, you need to pay 1000 resource points and 1 level 1 purchase voucher.]

[Speedy Wind Breaker – Consumes a certain amount of energy, significantly increasing reaction speed and speed within a certain range for a period of time. To purchase this skill, you need to pay 1500 resource points and 1 Level 1 purchase voucher.]

Wu Chen glanced at the immobilized Clementine. From the feel of her, she didn't possess any reliable defensive abilities, and her muscle strength wasn't much better than he'd expected. Yet, she was able to survive a direct hit from 20kg of high explosives at close range with only serious injuries, rather than being shattered into pieces. This was likely due to the effects of the Unbreakable Fortress.

Unfortunately, Wu Chen felt that his own iron armor technique was still more powerful.

As for abilities like ability boosts, they could be replaced with Encouragement, and there was a potential conflict between it and the amplification effects of Illusion. And considering he only had one Level 1 voucher, there was only one thing he should buy on the edge of the battlefield.

Wu Chen glanced at the number of resource points in his pocket. Thanks to his followers and himself, the total number of resource points was already over 2,000. He could buy anything he wanted, without the embarrassment of being unable to afford a penny.

So--

"Clementine, the ninth seat of the Dark Scripture, the swift wind breaks through."

"The wind breaks through."

The most expensive, and also Clementine's title. Plus, it effectively provides Wu Chen with the mobility he desperately needs as a kitchen knife spellcaster, so there's really no reason not to choose it.

"I bought 'The Wind and the Wind,'" he said.

"as you wish."

A hue suddenly faded from Clementine's body, its power silently transferring to Wu Chen. Numerous fragments of knowledge and memories surged through Wu Chen's mind. In a trance, he seemed to see a girl with short orange hair, rising and falling again and again on the training ground.

【I want to become faster and stronger! 】

Memories turned into impulses, impulses into skills, and power sprouted from deep within.

A slight burden appears on cognition.

It was like staying up all night to finish an entire novel, or working on a difficult math problem for two hours straight. Even though such a loss wasn't a huge burden for Wu Chen, whose soul had grown stronger, it was still a burden, and he successfully transformed it into strength.

The boundaries of the dream shattered silently.

Time has resumed its flow but it does not flow as fast as before.

In Yu Wuchen's eyes, the flow of everything was slowing down. He could even clearly see the several-meter-tall bone dragon crashing through the broken brick wall, and the fragments of its skeleton exploded, spinning and shooting in the air.

Time didn't slow down; it was my own speed that increased dramatically. I lifted my foot and took a step forward. What had once covered only a short distance, in an instant, leaped several meters!
The wind howled, tearing at the armor glow that touched Wu Chen. He activated the Light Blessing once again. In just a moment, he had arrived at the place where the skull dragon was.

The sword is in hand.

As he approached the bone dragon, the skeleton, theoretically immune to all low- and mid-level magic, began to silently crack. He easily dodged the bone dragon's claw strikes, and the swinging binding sword blade accurately slashed at the skeleton dragon's bony joints!

A sharp friction sound followed, and large pieces of bone fragments flew out. With just one strike, a considerable crack was cut into the bone dragon's joint. A second swing of the backhand directly severed the massive bone claw!
Even physical and demonic resistance can't save it.

This monster, which Wu Chen had originally regarded as a formidable enemy, was actually weaker than expected.

The bone claws then dropped, hitting the ground and sending up a cloud of dust. Normally, striking with a strike system would be more effective against a bone dragon. However, given the enormous power disparity, this detail was insignificant. Wu Chen's palm then extended, piercing the gap in the broken bones left by the claws. The luminous flames gathered in his palm suddenly exploded within the bone dragon's shell!
——【Kill 1 large low-level undead and gain 5 resource points.】

One to fifty, one skull dragon is equivalent to 50 skeleton soldiers. My friend is just as stingy as he was before.

"The gust of wind broke through." Wu Chen shook his head.

The flow of time returned to normal in his perception, and the dead bone dragon shattered into pieces behind him. From the interior of the Xingping Mental Hospital, several more skeleton dragons suddenly burst out, accompanied by another long-range bombardment from the lesser liches.

Their tactics remain the same as before.

However, Wu Chen was already in a completely different state than before.

Long-range spell bombardments can be easily dodged, and whether it is incineration fireballs or light fire, they can cause huge damage to these undead creatures.

Speed ​​does matter.

Wu Chen stepped forward, delivering a second death to those who stood in his way. Only when his feet stepped through the outer door of the mental hospital did his eyebrows raise slightly.

There is a feeling of being weakened.

The divine aura of protection lingering around him was slightly suppressed. If the protective barrier Wu Chen had previously cast at the convention center was a weakened version of the Holy Dwelling technique, then the true core of this spiral of death was undoubtedly the Evil Dwelling. As soon as one set foot on this land, they would experience a weakening of their attributes, almost equivalent to that provided by the Encouragement technique.

The barrage of spells stopped.

Those hideous, twisted, and powerful undead spirits retreated back beneath the rubble of the hospital—a dark silence greeted them all. The shattered, collapsed hospital entrance was like a massive portal to hell, silently inviting him, the one with power, into its fold.

Khajiit is not Clementine.

Even though they were both projections from another world, as a spellcaster, it was bound to be more inclined towards defense and counterattack, countering every attack. More importantly, it was probably already a proper lesser lich at this point, unlike Clementine, a living being. Even if she was in the evil camp, she couldn't stay in the vortex of negative energy for long.

It waited for him to pass.

It awaited him inside its position.

Wu Chen raised his hand and hurled an incinerating fireball towards the gate. However, this higher-level fireball technique, which theoretically possessed greater destructive power, only caused a mild explosion inside.

The power of the quasi-evil dwelling magic strengthened this position. Pure magic power was no longer enough to suppress the opponent. However—

Wu Chen, take a step back.

He returned to the outside of the gate and was no longer harassed by the vortex of negative energy - the inferior lich remained silent because it knew that Wu Chen had no choice but to retreat or step into the position and fight it.

it's a pity.

If this were E-Rantel or Nirn, then Wu Chen might really only have this one solution. But—

Wu Chen raised his hand and beckoned to the drones hovering in the distance. They might belong to the Ying Mansion, or perhaps to the Western Continent. Regardless of which side they belonged to, they were constantly observing the battlefield from afar.

"Come here." Wu Chen said.

His voice echoed in the air.

He knew they could hear him.

He also knew that they would definitely respond to him.

"I want to discuss a business deal with you," he said.

At this moment, there are no magic cannons in the surrounding airspace that can intercept any flying props.
