This isn't a souls-like game at all.

As for what the King's Dragon Power is, I'm afraid you can only know it after getting the tutorial book on the Dragon King's magic.

"So can I use this thing?"

He scratched his chin, took out the hymn book, cleansed the metal ball, and then pressed it against his chest to activate it.

"Kaka!"

The metal sphere was successfully activated, and the metal mechanism expanded and assembled outward along the body, eventually turning into a huge suit of armor.

"Good weight!"

He frowned. Even though he was the Power now, he felt like he was wrapped in a thick layer of iron.

Moreover, the armor did not match his body shape. Not only was it one size larger overall, it made it difficult for the joints of his limbs to move, and his back felt cold.

He tried to take two steps, and then heard two clangs.

Looking back, I saw a pair of small wing armors lying on the ground.

"Shit! It's even falling off! And... I don't have wings!"

He reached out and pressed the back of his neck, and the armor slipped off his body, turning into a metal ball again.

"It seems that it can't be used for the time being, but after using the Evil Mushroom to transform into a Degraded Half-Dragon, I can try wearing this thing."

Ye Yiyi thought in his heart, then put away the metal ball and walked towards the vehicle.

He planned to show this thing to the old blacksmith after returning to the Cursed Hall.

"Let's go, let's continue. You drive."

After getting in the car, he called Angel, pushed the somewhat confused Winged Man away from the back seat, and sat in with great confidence.

"I?"

Angel, who was forced into the driver's seat, was stunned.

"Yeah, you can drive it, right?"

Ye Yiyi took out the book of basic techniques from behind his back and waved his hand casually.

"I'm the one doing all the traveling, fighting, and searching for corpses. Don't you think that's unfair?"

"It seems to be the same..."

Angel thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

Along the way, Ye eliminated all the enemies he encountered one by one, including a corpse flying dragon and a dragon-transformer. He did nothing except escape and save his life.

I think he must be tired. After experiencing so many high-intensity battles, even a master of magic could not withstand it.

"I understand."

Thinking of this, Angel nodded very seriously.

"Please take a rest for a while, and leave the rest of the journey to me."

"Oh, you're sensible." Ye Yiyi nodded with satisfaction.

Soon the burden bearer started up again, crossed the rubble-filled hole, and went deeper into another corridor.

Ye Yiyi began to check the three kings' magic spells that came with the basic magic spells.

These three spells are all the king spells of clever skills and magical powers. Since they are basic spells, the usage requirements are not high, and even Ye Yiyi can use them.

Inorganic Resonance

Spell Slots: 1

Skill cost: 12

Requirements: Intelligence 8, Faith 8

Item Description: The power shared by the ingenious machine.

One of the most commonly used magic techniques among the kings.

Can produce material resonance with inorganic matter,

Sharing its properties and attributes and bringing them to life.

The activated inorganic matter can remain in an active state.

Greatly improves the efficiency of forging and control.

It is said that this is the basis for inorganic life to control itself.

The secrets of life are revealed through clever tricks and divine devices.

Therefore, it can be used to control all inorganic matter in the world.

"Sharing the properties and attributes of inorganic matter?"

Ye Yiyi recalled the knowledge included in the basics of magic.

"This technique is used for smelting and forging. It can share the properties of one substance with other substances. Simply put, it can share the hardness of steel with stone, making the stone as hard as steel.

"Of course, it's also possible to transfer the properties of inorganic matter to organic matter, such as giving skin the hardness of steel."

Thinking of this, he shook his head.

"Of course, doing so is absolutely forbidden in the fundamentals of sorcery. The reason is simple: while inorganic matter can share properties with one another, organic matter can't change back if it does."

The specific reason is unclear and is not mentioned in the basics of the technique, but Ye Yiyi extracted a very cautionary case of incorrect technique operation from the accompanying knowledge.

When this technique was just beginning to spread, a blacksmith had a sudden idea and used his own bull's calf and some extremely hard alloy to create inorganic resonance.

The final result is: the blacksmith's bullhead becomes an extremely hard alloy bullhead.

However, since the calf is still flesh and blood, it was too hard to soften and eventually became congested and necrotic, so it had to be removed.

After learning about this case, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but feel a tightness in his crotch.

"Well, the idea is good. After all, who doesn't want to stand tall and proud? But the fact is, unless you are an inorganic life form, it's best not to use Niuzi to resonate with inorganic matter."

Then he pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"But then again, inorganic life doesn't rely on sexual reproduction, so where do they get their sperm?

"Uh……"

All in all, this spell is useless in combat, but it can be used to temporarily strengthen weapons and shields.

It can also activate inorganic material props, greatly improving the efficiency of the universal cauldron in making items. From the perspective of effect, it can be regarded as an auxiliary effect spell.

Although its effect description is more like forcing Ye Yiyi to understand his common sense of physics.

But considering that the principle of this technique may be more complicated and logically rigorous than high school physics, Ye Yiyi decisively threw his common sense of physics behind.

How can your knowledge of the physics of the earth and the universe have anything to do with me?

Rubbing his temples helplessly, Ye Yiyi continued to look at the next spell.

【Refined Deformation】

Spell Slots: 1

Skill cost: 8

Requirements: Intelligence 8, Faith 8

Item Description: The power shared by the ingenious machine.

One of the most commonly used magic techniques among the kings.

It can refine inorganic matter and make it undergo plastic deformation.

And remember the deformed shape, switching between the deformed form and the prototype.

It can make activated inorganic substances memorize various deformation forms.

It is said that the prototype of this technique comes from the creator of heaven.

After being improved by the disciples, the magic was able to appear in a new form.

"This is the reason why these dragon armors can transform. My ferocious and deformable Splitting Fang should have been cast with this magic before." Ye Yiyi thought.

The upper limit of this technique is extremely high. The knowledge in his mind mentioned:

Refined deformation not only allows you to freely set the deformation shape of the metal, but also prevents it from being affected by metal fatigue after the deformation shape is memorized.

As for what metal fatigue is, take a piece of wire and bend it repeatedly. You will eventually find that after many bends, the wire breaks at the bend.

Refined iron wire, on the other hand, will not break, and no matter how you tamper with it, the metal will not accumulate damage.

This spell can significantly and permanently increase the service life of metals, allowing some metal facilities, such as the large smelter under the Principality of Rit, to continue operating after 10,000 years of continuous operation.

"This technique is indeed powerful, but it still has an auxiliary effect. How can I use it in battle?" Ye Yiyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Transforming inorganic matter should allow shields to become swords, and stones to become flying knives...

As for practicality, if it is used for assassination, it might be able to achieve a surprise victory.

But who still plays assassination nowadays?

Wouldn't it be better if I could just shoot him in the head with a Meteoric Armor-Piercing Cone from hundreds of meters away?

He couldn't help scratching his head, thinking that this technique could be very useful in the field of smelting, but it seemed that it would not be useful in combat.

"Perhaps I could refine the dung?"

He thought about it and then felt disgusted by himself.

"But feces is a mixture, there's no way to refine it..."

Shaking his head, he continued looking at the next spell.

【Conduction stress】

Spell Slots: 1

Skill cost: 16

Requirements: Intelligence 10, Faith 10

Item Description: The power shared by the ingenious divine machine, one of the magics of the kings.

It can form a conductive stress field on the body surface, and when it is attacked physically,

You only have one chance to ignore this attack.

It is said that this technique is an advanced application of [Refined Transformation].

Improved by the king, it was awarded to craftsmen who performed dangerous work.

"???"

After reading the introduction to this technique, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Is this... [Temporary Invincibility]?

"No, this can only ignore physical attacks, unlike [Temporary Invincibility] which can be immune to all damage.

"And it doesn't look like this one is invincible at the lower level. After all, after using the temporary invincibility, the body becomes immobile, unable to attack or dodge. Unlike this one, which can still move normally...

"Conductive stress field?"

Ye Yiyi fell into deep thought again, searching the knowledge in his mind.

But he quickly gave up because the concept of stress fields was not on his mind.

He even suspected that this technique was not actually part of the basic technique book, but was added later by someone.

"This technique... is very powerful."

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment and quickly gave his evaluation.

It does not simply increase resistance, but "ignores" attacks.

Although the specific implementation principle is still unclear, ignoring may mean that physical attacks will not cause any effects on him, including stiffness and displacement.

In other words, after performing this spell, he might get a chance to possess absolute dominance.

"This effect is enough to serve as my permanent spell."

After reading these three techniques, Ye Yiyi was quite satisfied.

After all, it is just the basics of magic, and it is more inclined towards auxiliary direction. In this case, you can also obtain a super defensive magic, which is very worthwhile.
