CHAPTER 1825: CHAPTER 874: PROFANE VIGOR_3

Now that it’s discovered Gaven also possesses more brutal methods, capable of directly refining her soul and extracting her abilities, naturally, she cannot indulge in reckless actions anymore.

The ability to Destroy Evil is clearly linked to Gaven’s personal power; the might of this ability increases as his power grows, and this directly manifests in the refining time.

Refining a Sage Undead that has just stepped into the Transcendent level is no trouble for Gaven now, it merely took a little more than ten seconds.

"It seems I underestimated this manipulative ability a bit; this Bone Claw body indeed harbors Demon’s Power similar to the Death Stalker but relatively, it’s too thin. It probably just slightly enhances your perception and manipulation of bones, far from reaching a level of manipulation; even accumulating quantity would hardly enable this ability."

With the Bone Claw Essence in hand, Gaven already has a basic evaluation; in terms of size, the Bone Claw is tens of times smaller than the Death Stalker, the latter’s Purified Essence is as big as a basketball, the former barely reaches the size of a ping-pong ball.

Sometimes, quantity determines everything.

This tiny quantity is absolutely impossible to unlock a manipulative type ability, not even a Lesser type.

Upon completing the evaluation, Gaven directly tossed it to Daphne.

"Better than nothing," Daphne gladly received it, crushed it, and the purest power instantly fused into her body.

The exquisite sensation of pure power integrating made her shiver uncontrollably for several seconds, just once and she fell in love with this feeling.

When the power completely blended with herself, Daphne promptly shared the newly formed ability with Gaven.

Claw Extension (Spell-Like Ability) — When you cast this ability, your hands will transform into three-fingered bone claws similar to the Bone Claw. You can freely control their length (between twenty centimeters to six meters), duration is Charisma Adjustment Value per second, usable once daily.

This is the signature skill of the Bone Claw.

To exchange a Transcendent troop unit for such a type of spell-like ability seems somewhat of a loss.

After all, the Bone Claw has no duration limit and can freely use this ability.

Moreover, for a Spellcaster, this ability is not very practical; firstly, they rarely have close combat opportunities, secondly, during the casting of this ability, it becomes a casting hindrance, three-fingered bone claws do not facilitate casting, especially when gestures are required.

Daphne instead was somewhat excited and said, "Lord, continue, continue, continue purifying other Bone Claws, I can now sense a miraculous intuition towards bones that I couldn’t before; I seem to be able to evaluate the quality of those bones, the enhancement is just too weak, let’s see if it can be accumulated in quantity."

Gaven complied without consideration, treating it as a special experiment; he also wanted to see what unique effects would result from absorbing similar Purified Essences in larger quantities.

Soon after, the remaining Bone Claws were refined one after another.

Upon absorbing the second Bone Claw, Daphne did not produce new abilities but continued to strengthen the Claw Extension ability; the power did not change much, only the daily usage limit increased by two times.

Upon absorbing the third, the same occurred, Daphne’s usage count for this ability increased to five times daily.

Only upon the fourth one did a qualitative change appear, deriving a new ability.

Surprisingly, it was Lesser Bone Strengthening, with both Daphne’s Strength and Constitution being enhanced slightly.

The significance of this is obvious; the Bone Claw Essence indeed contains the power to manipulate bones, only this power is too weak compared to the Death Stalker, even accumulating four cannot compare to a Death Stalker, only able to unlock one aspect which is rather weak, primarily used for self-enhancement.

Seeing that accumulations indeed resulted in qualitative change, both Gaven and Daphne were invigorated, eagerly anticipating the fifth enhancement.

In Felen, there is a tacit rule: never go beyond five.

Five is an extreme number.

Magic Equipment has five levels, +5 is top-level.

Beyond that, it is not ordinary Magic Equipment; it is either Legendary Equipment or Divine Artifact, although extending the level of Magic Equipment usage, it represents a different set of rules, with the limit being +10.

The same means of attribute enhancement can only be raised by five points; for example, the Wish Spell can only enhance the same attribute five times, similar to using Divine Nature Attribute Enhancement, etc.

This Soul Enhancement should be no exception.

Indeed, as the final Bone Claw Essence entered Daphne’s body, even outsiders could clearly perceive her transformation.

This transformation was inside out, both bones and flesh underwent subtle adjustments, and exposed areas displayed clear muscular outlines, giving an impression of unimaginable perfection and harmony.

She herself radiated an extraordinary charm, like a glittering black pearl.

Profane Vigor (Special Ability) — The holder will gain Charisma Adjustment Value multiplied by Life Dice in Extra Hit Points.

Seeing this ability, not only did Daphne exult in triumph, even Gaven was excited.

Because this ability is useful not only for Daphne but for all high-charisma professionals, including Gaven, it is a highly beneficial ability.

Just speaking of Daphne, Charisma is her main attribute, reaching up to twenty-five points; she has eighteen professional levels, just by this, can provide her with 126 points of Extra Life Force, directly doubling her Life Force, with some to spare, especially in Spirit Form.

At that time, without Constitution attribute, there would be no extra Constitution bonus, Daphne only has 76 (18D8) points of Life Force, now directly rises to 202 points; this Life Force can overpower same-level Barbarians and warriors — without equipment enhancement or Special Abilities added.

And Gaven’s Charisma value is not much inferior to Daphne’s; if he activates this ability, it would be enough to add over a hundred points of Extra Life Force.

No one minds having higher Life Force, stronger bodies.
