Chapter 136 Acquiring Molly the Hero's Attributes!

Louis's eyes lit up when he saw the talent of this new team.

So strong!

However, Louis then wondered if there would be any restrictions on the use of this talent, such as not being able to share the hero's exclusive class talent.

But the result was—there were no limits whatsoever!

Whether it's the high Intelligence stat of 25, the new talent skill "Dominate", or even the talent "Ability Sharing" itself, it can all be shared with every teammate.

Even the demonic attributes can be shared with teammates.

The only thing that cannot be shared is one's own unique advantage, which is neither a skill nor a talent.

Of course, some level 2 skills with special requirements can only be shared with teammates after they have also completed their second job advancement.

Otherwise, even if they share it, they won't be able to use it.

The hero's class talent is still strong.

After reviewing his new talents, Louis began to consider the requirements for his next job change.

It goes without saying that magic adaptability and five or more basic attributes must be at their maximum value, but to create a level three Hero's Codex, one must accomplish the great feat of saving five million people.

The increase from 100,000 to 5 million was an astonishing 50-fold, leaving Louis speechless.

Could it be that the requirement for condensing the Level 4 Hero's Codex is to accomplish the great feat of saving hundreds of millions of people?

Even in a fantasy world, the population of the Kingdom of Lortheran has only just surpassed 100 million—this demand is simply outrageous.

But soon, Louis learned a new piece of information from the second-level secret manual.

Every time I personally slay a level 3 demon with a racial stat of 50 or higher, it's equivalent to saving a million people.

However, it is important to note that when slaying demons, humanity's high-end combat power should not be wasted; the enemy must be killed individually or in a team of heroes.

In other words, the great feat is accomplished by killing five level-three demons with a racial stat of 50 or higher.

Upon seeing this message, Louis's expression turned somewhat strange: "The Hero's Codex is truly pushing heroes onto the path of fighting against the demons."

"Does it think that a level two hero has grown to a usable level and should go and confront the demons head-on?"

But soon, Louis shook his head vigorously, unaffected by the information in the secret manual.

He was just a weak level two professional; it would be too dangerous for him to launch an attack on the demons.

Let's just focus on doing the commissions honestly for now.

"Moreover, although I am a level 2 hero, I have only just changed jobs. Facing a demon whose basic attributes are 10 points higher than mine from the start, I have no chance of winning at all."

Louis muttered something to himself, but then, as if he had just thought of something, his eyes lit up.

Wait a minute! It's true he just changed jobs, but he can loot corpses and collect their attributes.

By acquiring the attributes from Molly's remains, he can probably max out all his attributes to reach the limit of a level 2 professional.

In this way, the gap between them and the third-level demons is not so big.

That's fine.

Louis quickly ran to Nora and Dinah's room, pulled back the blankets on Nora's bed, and took off the sack containing Molly's body.

With a heavy heart, Louis gently touched Molly's exposed cheek with his finger.

[A pickable attribute has been found. Pick it up?]

Pick it up!

An unusually long progress bar appeared, and a full three minutes passed before an immense power and vast amount of knowledge surged into Louis's mind like a tsunami, causing him to momentarily lose his focus.

Large swaths of cheat codes popped into Louis's ears.

[You have picked up the corpse of a Level 3 Hero. Extraordinary +10, Vitality +14, Concentration +10, Stamina +10, Strength +13, Dexterity +10, Intelligence +10, Sensing +10, Demonic Transformation +10]

[Unlocked Talents: Extraordinary Assassin, Mortal Power, Mortal Soul (not yet unlocked), Comprehension Gathering, Complete Resistance, Equipment Enhancement (not yet unlocked)]

[Insight Gathering: Briefly gathers the insight of everyone in the team; every team member can use it.]

[Complete Resistance: The entire team has 50% resistance to all adverse external factors.]

Louis acquired Molly's attributes and talents.

Although this was expected, Louis was still shocked as he felt his power constantly increasing and the effects of his hero talent becoming more and more outrageous.

Having just changed jobs, all of his basic attributes have reached the limit of a level 2 professional, almost reaching the level of a level 3 professional. This is something that other professionals would never even dare to dream of.

Molly's talent also gave Louis a huge surprise.

He had seen the "extraordinary assassin" many times before.

But after Louis actually possessed this talent, he discovered that it could not only be activated in the form of a chest cannon, but could also erupt from various parts of the body and even weapons and equipment, making it impossible to defend against.

The chest cannon merely maximized the power and range of the extraordinary assassin, a testament to the demons' poor control over Molly's remains.

"Ordinary Power" can only be used after the Extraordinary Killer has been activated.

Once the extraordinary assassin is activated, and the individual is temporarily unable to use their extraordinary characteristics, their strength, stamina, concentration, vitality, dexterity, and senses will all unreasonably increase by 10.

With this talent, Louis could theoretically bring all his extraordinary attributes, except for magic adaptability, to the peak of a level three professional.

However, in this state, most of his talent skills are unusable.

This means he cannot defeat the strongest level three professionals, but he can still crush all level two professionals, and even those who have just entered level three.

The uses of "Enlightenment Collection" are self-evident, and "Complete Resistance" is even more outrageous. In layman's terms, it means 50% damage reduction, which applies to poison, magic, and physical attacks.

Even more astonishingly, this "complete resistance" also complements the "superhuman killer" ability, allowing it to be used even when superhuman traits are lost.

In short, Molly the Hero's talent can only be described with two words: all-around and — invincible!

However, to Louis's surprise, Molly's skill pool was surprisingly shallow.

[Gained Level 3 Skill: Molly's Swordsmanship (Perfect: 100/100) (Not yet unlocked)]

[Gained Level 2 Skill: Molly's Swordsmanship (Perfect: 100/100)]

[Gained Level 1 Skill: Molly's Swordsmanship (Perfect: 100/100)]

[Gained Level 0 skill: Molly's Swordsmanship (Perfect: 100/100)]

She used a self-created Molly sword technique from level zero to level three.

Having acquired this knowledge of swordsmanship, Louis could clearly recognize that although each level of Molly's Swordsmanship had the same name, the skills and power contained within increased exponentially.

This is a prime example of someone who has mastered a skill to its fullest extent.

Furthermore, Molly's swordsmanship is quite effective against Louis.

While "Skill Domination" can disable a target's talent or skill, the related knowledge is not erased from the target's mind.

Even if he disabled Molly's swordsmanship, as long as Molly the Hero still has hands and feet, it won't affect her ability to wield her sword.

As for why Molly only practiced swordsmanship and didn't explore any other skills...

The reason is simple: her talent as a hero is that of an extraordinary assassin.

Once this talent is activated, her own extraordinary powers will be temporarily erased, and learning more skills will have no effect.

Moreover, Molly's swordsmanship is truly comprehensive.

She is able to gather the insights of all the team members and has devoted herself to studying only this one sword technique, pushing it to an unimaginable peak.

Her sword can be used for attack and defense; if the timing is right, it can even deflect any enemy attack.

Even non-solid magical attacks such as fireballs, water jets, and lightning can be deflected.

And this is the effect that level two Molly's swordsmanship can achieve; level three swordsmanship will only be stronger.

The skill is close to the Tao; that's probably what this kind of swordsmanship is all about.

"I will pass on Molly's swordsmanship."

Louis sighed inwardly as he contemplated the profound mysteries of swordsmanship.

With the assassination of Molly the Hero, even her former teammates could not know the full details of this sword technique, and it was naturally lost.

But Louis will pass it down properly.

Her teammate, the magic swordswoman Dina, would be a perfect fit to learn Molly's swordsmanship.
