Chapter 1013: Chapter 34: Demon Lord – Crimson Funeral Robe "Ability replacement complete!"
As a hint of evil aura enveloped Duncan, some special abilities unique to the Dark Guard were also activated.
——"Dark Blessing (Special Ability); the Dark Guard can add his Charm bonus to all Immunity Judgments." (Current all Immunity Judgments +5)
The charm of the human form is decent.
However, the real significant enhancement comes from the divine blessing of Shunni, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, through the Holy Water of the Eternal Gold Pool. After using this divine artifact, Duncan’s human form directly gained an additional mark of ’Transcendent Charm.’
Of course, his Charm improvement isn’t entirely reflected in ’looking more handsome,’ but rather an intangible inner aura and a unique affinity.
Speaking of looking more handsome, there’s a bit of that too, because after Duncan used the Holy Water of the Eternal Gold Pool, all scars on his body disappeared, and even his skin became exceedingly smooth. But these are quite secondary matters, as the most substantial impact of the Charm enhancement is to strengthen the warlock side’s Casting Ability, namely the affinity for magical energy.
In special advancements such as the Dark Guard and Tim Warrior, extra charm can enhance immunity resistance, even when invoking divine grace, more divine power can descend.
——"Despairing Spiritual Light: the Dark Guard can emanate an evil spiritual light, causing enemies within 10 feet to suffer -2 penalty on all Immunity Tests."
——"Awaken Undead: summon an undead creature to fight."
——"Summon Dark Demon: the Dark Guard can summon a purgatory servant."
When the profession level replacement is complete, the Paladin system’s abilities vanish entirely, and Duncan masters ’Sneak Attack’ and replaces ’Holy Healing,’ though the originally possessed Combat Specializations largely remain unchanged, instead the unique professional abilities will change accordingly.
The simplest point is that after replacing the Dark Guard path, Duncan no longer needs to use ’Evil-Bringing Slash,’ and can only perform ’Virtue-Breaking Slash.’
Upon reaching legendary status, Dark Guards can contract stronger purgatory servants, the most representative being the Enchanting Demon.
Because Enchanting Demons are capable, and extremely capable.
Inside the room.
Sharella Tebron half-kneeled on the ground, fastening Duncan’s belt and arranging all his equipment, while an attendant presented a pair of exquisite storage gloves, with about two cubic meters of space, able to store weapons and directly switch between weapons and shields.
Storage bags in the Ferren dimension are somewhat costly, and many adventurers can’t afford them, as for storage rings, they are exceedingly rare, with even many legendaries having never seen them, and only exceptionally powerful mages might forge them.
But whether they truly exist or not remains a rumor, as few have genuinely seen them.
Even with the authority and status of the Five Fierce Women, they could only prepare storage bags and unique small storage gloves for Duncan.
"Does the master truly plan to venture alone into the Bottomless Abyss?" Sharella expressed a slight concern.
In her view, Shadow Devourer-Victor is an outsider, and bringing him is not as convenient for Duncan.
However, having too many people is equally inappropriate. The Bottomless Abyss is not like other places; the more the people, the greater the chaos.
Duncan calmly flexed his wrist, a two-handed greatsword appeared in his palm, soon disappearing, he softly said, "This action is just to gather information, fewer people are more convenient."
Upon hearing this, Sharella hesitated, "We can recruit legendary wanderers."
"As long as we are willing to spend, they will find a way."
The Five Fierce Women are indeed lavish in this manner.
Casually recruiting legendary wanderers, with the backing of the Wealth Church, this truly isn’t difficult.
But, unfortunately, even legends are insufficient.
The Bottomless Abyss is not like any other place, where ordinary legends are as common as dogs.
Duncan shook his head, "I must personally go."
"Rest assured."
"I have the divine grace of various goddesses on me, I am confident."
Sharella ultimately sighed softly, stepping forward to give this man a hug, then offering a tender kiss, softly kissing Duncan’s lips, whispering, "I’ve prepared some new gadgets."
"I’ll wait for your return."
Regarding the depth of affection, it surely is feigned, but the soaring climaxes are not feigned. Duncan is the best and most suitable man she has encountered.
It’s just that now, her status is already beneath Duncan’s, and may drift further in the future, merely serving by his side is commendable.
If Duncan really rescued the Goddess of Wealth, she would have to voluntarily kneel whenever she sees Duncan in the future.
Duncan maintained a calm expression, unaffected.
Once this man enters the combat readiness state, he truly has a heart of stone; for him, all kinds of beauty are mere clouds, only upon completion would he consider getting up to tread upon.
He did not turn back to glance at the lingering Sharella behind him; whether it’s genuine emotion or feigned sentiment, it doesn’t matter.
On the grand stage of Ferren, those lacking performance skills cannot go far.
Even the Mother of Great Bliss, her performance capabilities far exceed that of mortals, and others such as Lady Sestha White, their acting skills are top-notch; affection, admiration, adoration, all can be faked.
Duncan merely needs to ensure that his strength suffices to make them serve him.
Inside the room.
Shadow Devourer-Victor had already prepared the teleportation array, he glanced at Duncan before him, respectfully said, "Master. Everything is ready."
Duncan’s outfit couldn’t be described as luxurious; too excellent equipment invites trouble, too inferior equipment causes more trouble.
He wore spare gear, as moving in the Bottomless Abyss, the Wealth Church’s equipment is too eye-catching.
