My Summons Can Learn Skills - Chapter 25
[Deathwalker Armor: Defensive Artifact]
[Origin: Abyssal World of the Underworld]
[Grade: Silver]
[Attributes: Agility +5, Intelligence +2]
[Skill: MoonlightPassive. Able to absorb moonlight on a moonlit night and turn it into magic that will be stored within the armor, forming five Moonlight Shields at most. It will be activated automatically once attacked by magic. Each shield will at most absorb 200 magic damage.]
[Moonlight Shield Recharging Speed: One layer per ten minutes under the moonlight.]
[Note: After all five Moonlight Shields are activated, you need to reabsorb the moonlight at night to condense it.]
[Warning: Unable to absorb moonlight during the day or on nights without moonlight, but an already-condensed Moonlight Shield can be maintained.]
[Equipment Requirement: Awakened Level 5 and above, Base Agility at least 10.]
[Description: In the Underworld, vampires and werewolves have been enemies for generations. Deathwalkers are the most elite warriors among vampires. They have exquisite and strong pieces of equipment.]
[Remark: Dear Moon Goddess, nobody has ever been as attached to you as I am.]
These were the characteristics of the silver-grade armor that Chen Gou had chosen.
He had mainly taken a fancy to the Moonlight Skill.
Magical creatures below Level 10 all had a skill level of Level 1, and their skills would mostly deal less than 300 damage.
Therefore, the five layers of Moonlight Shield could help Chen Gou mitigate most of the damage suffered in a small but intense battle.
The only drawback was that recharging it was rather troublesome.
Without this flaw, it probably wouldn’t have been a silver-grade set of armor waiting for Chen Gou to take it away.
Upon walking through the church gate, Tony naturally returned to the Arslan Family’s residence.
This arrogant genius actually took the rare initiative to nod at Chen Gou and say, “See you in three days.”
“Okay.”
Chen Gou reminded him, “Don’t forget what you owe me.”
When he had first been surrounded by the four progenitors in the Abyssal World of The Strain, he had made a bet with Tony. If he brought Tony back alive, Tony would give him a gold-grade artifact as remuneration.
Tony naturally hadn’t forgotten about it, so his expression changed slightly.
Chen Gou’s expression changed as well. “As the Young Master of the Arslan Family, you wouldn’t go back on your promise, right?”
“I admit that I was wrong about you. I didn’t expect a poor kid from the slums like you to have some skills I have a younger sister with unrivaled beauty and gentleness. How about I introduce you to her?”
Tony’s expression returned to normal as he evaded the topic.
“B*stard! You would even make use of your younger sister for the sake of a gold-grade artifact!”
Chen Gou sneered and then said seriously, “What’s her name? Don’t read too much into it. I just want to help her get away from a beastly brother.”
“Sherry Arslan!” Seeing that things were going to be interesting since he had broken his promise, Tony said with a smile shamelessly, “I’ll bring her to see you in three days. As for whether you will become my brother-in-law, that’ll depend on you.”
Although he could see how proud Tony was of himself, Chen Gou pretended not to see it.
The gold-grade artifact was only a grade higher than the silver one, but it was actually worth at least ten times more.
A Gold Abyssal Knight Team might not be able to get their hands on a gold-grade artifact.
Despite Tony’s status, it would be very hard to give someone a gold-grade artifact.
After all, he wasn’t the only direct descendant of the Arslan Family.
Therefore, Chen Gou gave him a way out of this situation. Since they were going to be comrades in arms and members of the same team in the future, there was no need to reach a deadlock with him over a verbal promise.
Tony had a home to return to, while Chen Gou was all alone in the world.
He didn’t want to go to that shabby house with the air-leaking windows and a dead Strigoi.
After a moment’s contemplation, he turned and walked toward the Abyssal Expedition Team’s garrison in the city.
“Please inform him that Chen Gou is here to visit.”
The guard at the gate immediately realized that Chen Gou was an Abyssal Knight by looking at his bronze mask, so he didn’t dare be complacent. He turned around and entered the luxurious residence to report his arrival.
In a flash, Han Feng came out and patted Chen Gou’s shoulder as he said with a gratified smile, “Boss really wasn’t mistaken. You really came back alive!”
“Is Captain Edward in? I wish to see him.”
“He’s still here. If you had come half an hour later, we would have been out on our mission.”
Han Feng put his arms around his shoulders and said while walking in, “Follow me. You have been given a mission, right? According to the rules, you must have been assigned to the Abyssal Expedition Team. This time, I’ll take you out to see the world”
Upon sensing his sincerity, Chen Gou couldn’t help but feel touched. However, he said with a bitter smile, “I’ve been assigned to the Long Song Team. I’m afraid I can’t fight alongside you, Brother Han.”
“The Long Song Team? That’s the old man’s most treasured team!”
Han Feng was stunned on the spot and stared at Chen Gou without blinking, looking bewildered and astonished. However, he stopped talking about this topic and didn’t say anything else.
“Long Song Team”
Edward Park, who was clad in military armor and carrying a weapon, also had a complex look after hearing the team Chen Gou had been assigned to.
“Is there a problem?”
“There’s no problem. It’s just that you’re going to face a huge challenge. The Long Song Team is very special. It used to be overbearing and despotic when it was still strong and had achieved many merits. That team could be considered famous, but it has also offended many people as a result.”
Ye Qing took off the silver mask that was on her face and explained on Edward Park’s behalf, “Although you joined it after the Long Song Team’s fall and its past grudges won’t be settled by you, things will be out of your control once you’re a member of the Long Song Team.
“People might help you or plot against you because of the team you’re in. Just be careful and work hard to become stronger!”
“I understand.”
Chen Gou nodded and pretended to take the silver-grade Attribute Borrowing Skill Crystal out of his pocket. He then handed it over and said sincerely, “This is what I collected by killing an evil spirit in the Abyssal World. Thank you, seniors, for taking good care of me and helping me.”
“That’s not necessary. Your journey has just begun, so you’ll need it more than us. Keep it for yourself,” said the meat shield of the Abyssal Expedition Team, Mundo.
“I obtained the Gold Rank after the assessment this time and gained a lot. This crystal is a kind offering. Please accept it anyway.”
Chen Gou wanted to use this crystal to maintain a good relationship with the Abyssal Expedition Team, as the journey would be easier with more friends.
Ranger Alan had initially wanted to reject the crystal. When he habitually probed it with his mind, he was marveled by the attribute information he obtained.
“Hey, Boss, this skill’s attributes”
Upon seeing the subtle change in his expression, Edward Park reached out to take the crystal with an imperceptible change in his expression.
“We’ll accept it then.”
Edward Park said calmly, “But we won’t take it without giving anything in return. I’ll draw you a map. Follow the instructions on it before you reach Level 11 and go to the village marked on the map. There is a potion master there called Faceless. He has formulated a mysterious potion that can fuse two bloodline potions and purify a bloodline potion of a higher grade.”
Chen Gou was ecstatic to hear that.
A bloodline potion was a potion extracted from a magical creature through a special technique. A human Awakener would obtain a corresponding bloodline power after using it.
Such a potion could only be used at a specific Awakened Level and was also necessary to increase one’s strength at that level.
The bloodline potion could first be used at Level 10. After using it, one would be able to activate their magic imprint and obtain a magic attribute.
The existence of this imprint would cause the Magic Origin without attributes in an Awakener to form corresponding attributes and hence sublimate the power of the skills.
