Chapter 135 Job Change and New Talents

"Great Demon Lord, is this answer satisfactory? Could you please spare my sister and me?"

Anruido asked timidly.

Louis pondered for a moment, then asked another question.

"How can you prove you're not lying to me? Maybe these high-sounding words are just something you made up to survive."

"I really hate fake things."

You dare call yourself a human being?

Anrudo muttered a resentful remark to herself, but still answered honestly, "Hilen's adoptive father went to the capital to complain, but was stopped and locked up by my elder sister."

"We didn't hurt him; we gave him good food and drink every day."

"Because he shed a lot of fat when he faked his death, he became a skinny person after turning back from a turtle. However, he should have gained back the weight during this time. Even though he curses at us every day after eating, we don't try to shut him up."

"Once my future sister takes power, she will release him."

Louis was slightly taken aback.

So, that old swindler Griffin is still alive?

It sounds like they're living a pretty good life.

Since that's the case—then I can go to the largest bank in the capital with a clear conscience and take away all the equipment and savings he has deposited there.

Wealth only generates value when it circulates.

I'm looking forward to seeing his expression when he's released, only to find himself alive but his possessions gone.

Suppressing his wicked thoughts, Louis rubbed the red gemstone in his hand to remove fingerprints and other traces, then tossed it in front of Erisil.

"I'm very satisfied with this story; it finally shows what a true hero looks like."

"I look forward to the day when you kill your own father and overthrow the Kingdom of Lortheran. I will be standing by your side to take a good look at the scene."

Louis said with a smile.

He then added a threat.

"Princess Erisil, you can use any method to investigate my identity, but remember, the power of the Slave Heart Lock will always exist within you."

"If your behavior displeases me, I will return to your side and take control of your body."

Erisil reached out and firmly grasped the Level 2 Secret Codex that had fallen to her feet in her palm.

Her expression remained calm as she spoke to Louis in a composed voice, "Your Excellency, the Great Demon, you too must strive to improve, lest I surpass you."

Louis remained noncommittal, then turned to look at Anredo.

This timid blonde girl always aroused his strong sense of wicked pleasure.

He reached out and pinched Anruido's delicate cheek hard, emphasizing his persona as a fun-loving person.

"Little girl, hurry up and go wash your skirt."

"Don't tell anyone what happened tonight, or I'll tell everyone you wet your pants."

Anrudo's face turned red from being pinched, but after hearing Louis's words, her face turned even redder, and she hurriedly covered the wet stains on her skirt with her hands.

When she suppressed her shame and anger and looked up again, she found that the male demon who had given her the nightmare had disappeared without a trace, as if he had vanished into the darkness.

"Big sister, are you alright?"

When Anruiduo saw her eldest sister, she saw that she had already broken free from the order to squat down and slowly stood up.

The silver-haired girl's face was hidden in shadow, but an overwhelming killing intent surged from her body.

"I will repay you for this humiliation in the future, even more severely."

A flash of red light appeared in her hand, and the Hero's Tome transformed into a stream of light that flowed into the heart of the third hero.

The transition from level one to level two has begun.

That same night, another person also made it towards becoming a Level Two Hero, and that person was none other than Louis.

He returned home under the cover of night. The magic power he had used up in the battle with Erisil had been fully restored, and even the minor injuries he had sustained had been completely healed thanks to the combined effects of his succubus physique and physical barriers.

Leaning back on his bed, Louis was certain that he had reached his peak condition.

Job change! It's starting!

Just like when Louis transitioned from a quasi-professional to a first-level hero, his basic attributes in all aspects became more solid and pure under the blessing of the second-level secret manual.

It's like pig iron being forged into fine steel.

The maximum Magic Adaptability is 30 points.

The upper limits of the eight basic attributes and the upper limit of the demonization level have also been increased by 10 points.

The maximum value for the Intelligence attribute is 35 points, which is the level of a third-tier professional.

"Fully proficient Super Speed ​​Thinking" has evolved into the Level 2 skill Extreme Speed ​​Thinking.

The skill still costs 3 mana points. After activation, the thought speed will be accelerated to 3 times the normal speed, and the spell casting speed will also be increased by 3 times.

The Shadow Sword Technique, which already incorporated five level 1 skills, was automatically upgraded to a level 2 skill.

The level 2 skills obtained from the Lich King—Bone Corrosion Curse, Plague Curse, and Intermediate Demonic Manipulation—are unlocked in sequence.

The Bone-Eating Curse is a single-target spell. As long as the enemy's aura is recorded, it can be used to attack from beyond visual range. Demonic fire will ignite in the cracks of the bones of the person afflicted by the curse. If it is not extinguished in time, the person will be burned to death from the inside out.

As the name suggests, the Plague Curse is an evil group spell that fills a certain area with plague gas. Creatures that inhale the gas will become infected with the plague within ten seconds. If their resistance is weak, they will lose their ability to fight off within one minute and die within three minutes.

Because this skill is a level 2 skill, even a level 1 professional can still be affected by it, as it is extremely damaging.

The intermediate-level Demon Manipulation Technique is a skill used by witches to control the remains of the hero Molly.

Its essence is to inject demonic energy into the body of a puppet or living creature to achieve the effect of remote control. It can be considered a variant of "parasitism", but the effect is better and it will not harm the controlled one.

To have five level-two skills right after changing jobs—perhaps only Louis in this world could achieve that.

However, compared to the other gain, these skills are not important.

That is the class talent awakened after changing to a level 2 hero.

[Personal Talent: Skill Mastery]

[Skill Domination: Effect 1: Randomly disables one of the target's talents or skills for 10 minutes. The higher your Intelligence attribute is compared to the target, the greater the probability of disabling the target's core talent or core skill.]

[Effect 2: Temporarily steal the target's disabled talents or skills for your own use, lasting 10 minutes.]

[Current Intelligence attribute can disable a maximum of 5 target skills or talents simultaneously]

[Mana Cost: Determined by the target's level]

The new class talent immediately made Louis feel the beauty of strength.

Compared to the "fusion" talent skill, which is only suitable for oneself, the "domination" skill is undoubtedly a practical talent skill that is incredibly powerful no matter which hero it is placed on.

Even compared to the incredibly supermodel-like "super killer," she seemed to be evenly matched.

The only downside to this skill is that it depends on luck.

But don't worry, "Skill Domination" isn't limited to one use, it can be used five times in a row!

Even if you're incredibly unlucky, you're bound to win at least once in five tries, right?

Moreover, this number of draws seems to increase as the intelligence attribute increases.

"My current intelligence is 25 points, which is enough for 5 consecutive draws. Does that mean I get one more draw for every 5 points of intelligence I gain?"

Louis wondered to himself.

As for whether this guess is right or wrong, he will soon be able to verify it.

There are also two level-two witches and Molly the Hero's attributes waiting for him to collect.

However, before that, Louis focused his attention on another talent he had awakened.

Team Talent: Shared Abilities

[Capability Sharing: Your teammates can temporarily share one of your designated base attributes or talent skills.]
