Wrong, my skills refresh every week

"As expected, this magic was refreshed by making me sacrifice the opportunity to continue stacking attributes."

Charles was secretly excited. His ability still had room for development. His current state still maintained full strength and had specialized agility to the maximum extent.

Compared to [Gambler's Instinct] which has the permanent [Durability] experience, and Dexterity which affects the hit rate, Ciel chose Agility which directly affects speed and reaction.

Of course, he could choose to continue to slowly accumulate ability values, but that would slow down his development. With his strength, agility, and magic reaching S-level, the experience points that Ciel could actually gain were only half of what they normally were, which was not worth the loss.

When his supplies ran out and he could no longer rely on teleportation to move to other floors, Charles chose to upgrade himself first to ensure his own safety.

Theoretically, floors 50 to 30 are very dangerous and can easily cost Charles his life.

And of course, there's Alfia.

[Talent and Disaster Price] prevents her from fighting for a long time, so it is best not to let her participate in the battle, lest the durability that has been accumulated with great difficulty will decline rapidly.

on the other hand……

There was a large-scale floor collapse on the 60th floor, and Jagnut was not hatched, which made Charles a little worried. He was anxious to leave the floor, and this was also a factor.

Ciel could only attribute it to the fact that the dungeon monsters didn't care about the floors, but there was no need to take chances, he had to run. Even if he hatched a Jagnat, it would turn into bones after a while.

at the moment……

"There's a change of plan. Well, let's spend the next nine days in the dungeon." Looking at his new panel, Charles made a decision.

……

After 5 days.

37th floor, White Palace, Arena.

Shila-

Two lightning bolts flashed past the roaring skeleton monster one after the other. Ciel, who had landed on the ground, spread out his five fingers:

"I will eat your soul!"

The dark orb was swung out, piercing through two skeleton sheep magic stones covered in black robes. At the moment the magic hit, a circle of invisible magnetic force exploded, blasting countless arcs and cracks on the ground.

【overload】

·When you cast a spell, you generate an electric charge that is released the next time you attack, dealing damage and slowing nearby enemies.

On the other side, Alpha, wearing a Fire Fairy protective cloth, also emerged from a ball of lightning. Her raised pink fist brought up a huge electric charge exactly the same as Charles'.

With a loud bang, the ground shattered, and the roaring monsters that were surrounding them stopped moving, unable to move forward.

As lightning flashed alternately, monsters were reduced to ashes in the sea of ​​thunder.

Soon, the surrounding rock walls and ground cracked, and new monsters crawled out again, roaring and chasing the two.

Two halos, one red and one blue, rose up under Charles' feet. A force rose up from the dead monster and filled the bodies of the two men.

skill:

【Heating】

·Continuously restores your own and your teammates' mental strength to a large extent.

[Vampire Aura]

Friendly forces within the range will regain 20% of the damage dealt and their health and strength will be restored.

Two endurance skills + magic amplification + mobility speed, this combination is unbeatable in the "37-story White Palace" specialized in hand-to-hand combat.

As long as he still has mental strength, those monsters, mainly werewolves, earth-born people, skeleton sheep, and barbaric warriors, can't even touch the corner of Charles' clothes.

They were constantly attacked and then slowed down by the electrostatic force field attached by [Overload] until they turned into ashes.

Except for the first two days of traveling, this scene has lasted for three whole days.

Except for the time he spent sleeping to recover his energy, Ciel had been hiding in this "arena" where monsters were spawned endlessly, reaping the lives of monsters.

Looking at the empty arena once again, Ciel patted Alpha beside him:

"Go here first, and come back when your mental strength recovers."

Alpha nodded obediently and happily picked up the scraps of items dropped by monsters.

After collecting the spoils, Charles found the familiar ground, blasted away the rocks, and entered the secret realm beneath the arena.

The blue cave and the gurgling water.

This is a little-known safe zone in the maze. No one would have thought that beneath the "arena" where monsters spawn infinitely, there would be a secret realm where monsters would not spawn.

The two men followed the river and soon saw a bonfire.

The witch was leaning on the belly of a grizzly bear, flipping through Ciel's "Monster Diary" while clumsily handling the ingredients.

"Ciel, I'm hungry." Alfia raised her eyebrows when she saw Ciel coming back, and expressed her desire without any shame.

"Thank you for your help." Charles came to Alfia and took over her work.

"Pochi, have you been obedient?" Alpha jumped to the big bear and rubbed the bear's head angrily.

The stupid bear named Pochi sneezed and lay there quietly without raising his eyelids.

This grizzly bear named Pochi by Ciel is a creature created by Ciel's magic [Summon Bear Spirit].

This is a core skill derived from the dota druid.

The summoned bear spirit is different from the previous clones and doppelgangers. It has no so-called duration! As long as it does not die, it will continue to exist.

Although it is only level 1, it can directly gain experience points and improve its potential abilities by fighting, killing monsters, and swallowing magic stones.

Not only that, Pochi has thick skin and flesh, his attacks can also have a "tangled" effect, and his fur also has a certain immunity to magic.

The key is……

This guy has 6 equipment slots!

Not only does it have the very valuable space backpack ability, but it can also inherit the attributes of equipment and gain powerful destructive power.

The more Charles looked at this stupid bear, the more he liked it. He waved at Pochi, and it clumsily took out two, then three hind legs of a centaur from under its belly.

Things that are collectively classified as "corpses" belong to the same category in this stupid bear's world and are stacked in one grid.

Ciel then threw the magic stones he had harvested and the dropped materials to Pochi.

It simply stuck out its tongue, rolled up the magic stone and swallowed it, then obediently shoveled the material into its stomach and pressed it under its furry fur.

It can control, resist and fight, and it is also the best means of transportation and porter. When necessary, it can also be Alfia’s sofa and bed. It is simply too versatile.

……

The three men and the bear simply used the plants and roots they had found on the 40th floor, and the lamb legs they had hunted on the 49th floor to fill their stomachs. After a few days, there was very little food left.

"Looks like we need to find some food along the way." Charles gnawed the last two legs of lamb with care.

"On the 37th floor, only slimes are edible," Alfia said calmly.

The main monsters in the White Palace are undead, and it is the floor with the poorest resources. Slime tastes bad... This is a fact recognized by adventurers.

"If all else fails, the vegetation and moss around here can also fill your stomach." Alfia pointed to the river.

"Just hold on for another four days, it won't be a problem."

Charles calculated the numbers in his mind. After three days of all-out killing of monsters, at least 1500 monsters had died at the hands of the [Dark Sacrifice].

Although this number is not much, it means that Ciel casts at least 500 magic shots a day. The total amount of Belle's level 3 mental power is only enough to maintain about 60 rounds of Flame Volt.

At this rate, Ciel estimated that in four days, he would be able to raise his magic power to the Max level of his current level.

This is cheating!

Chapter 153 Food Chain and Slime

After dinner, well, maybe dinner. In this underground city where the secular world fades, it is hard to distinguish between day and night.

Charles took a 30-minute nap, and when his mental strength was fully restored, he prepared to set off again.

Before leaving, he came to Alpha and lifted his clothes to reveal his back:

"I'll update your ability value again."

The sublime light brought by the [Divine Text] drew a circle on Alpha's back, and complex block characters appeared. The central pattern was a group of Pegasus bathed in thunder.

This is the effect after the [Divine Text H] is upgraded. Ciel used the sacred text and the blood of immortal essence to copy a copy of Alfia's grace framework, and used Alpha's own blood to complete the second special "favor" after Lily.

Because it was a reference to Alpha's own miraculous power, the "divine blood" that was a necessary medium disappeared.

……

Ciel looked at the changing panel and nodded with satisfaction.

“It’s growing well.”

Alpha had been following behind him these past few days, performing some support work and also gaining some experience points.

Among them, the skill [Overload] played a big role.

Yes, this is the same skill as the [Overload] that Ciel refreshed this week, or in other words, it was sent over from Ciel.

This brings us to the second development ability acquired [Food Chain I].

At first, Ciel really didn't know what the food chain actually did, but when he used the [Divine Text] to grant Alpha a favor, he accidentally triggered the effect.

This ability originates from the cute king [Rimuru], or more precisely, is a branch ability of his [Lord of Gluttony].

Ciel recalled the abilities related to slimes.

In the worldview of the cute king, the ability of the [Food Chain] is: with Rimuru as the top, the abilities of the lower monsters are all concentrated in Rimuru, and the subordinates can also obtain some of Rimuru's abilities.

But the initial level of [Food Chain I] obviously does not have such a strong power, at least Charles has not discovered it yet.

After several days of exploration, Charles had only managed to give Alpha one skill, and as a subordinate, Alpha was his only target for the time being.

It is also unclear how to lock down subordinates.

Ciel deduced that it was probably through "naming" or "favor" that they formed a hierarchy.

As to whether the original name can be overwritten or if there are any other restrictions, it is not yet known.

Ciel guessed: "As the level of the food chain rises, the upper limit of the number and skills of subordinates will also increase. As for whether the attributes will be fed back by subordinates...? The improvement Alpha has received is too low, I can't feel it for the time being, but I guess there is some."

This is also the reason why Charles took Alpha to level up and named the bear spirit.

In short, this ability is promising in the future. You can reserve some of the powerful skills you draw for your subordinates and share some of the results yourself.

"I just don't know how to upgrade this ability..."
