The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 432: Bound: The Heart of Sisyphus

Annan carefully examined the skills of the Victory Knight.

"...This profession is really good."

He marveled.

——It is indeed an extremely rare profession.

After a hundred consecutive failures without mistakes, you still have to succeed in the end... Annan even doubted whether ten people in this profession would ever advance.

Victory Knight LV23: [Winter Swordsmanship LV10 (Max)], [Frost Swordsmanship LV10 (Max)], [Bypass LV1], [Victory Will LV1 (Max)], [Brilliant Sword LV1], Free Skill Points 3

The first-level [Silver Hand] and [Silver Blade Strike] have become two new skills [Victory Will] and [Brilliant Sword].

The will to win is a passive skill that only needs one level to reach the full level.

His effect is that when the sum of strength and agility is lower than the will attribute, you can use the will attribute instead of the strength or agility attribute to make any judgment once a day.

Every ten points of will attribute can increase the chance of using [Victory Will] once more. Annan's will attribute is currently 31 points, which means he can use it four times a day.

This is also the first skill that Annan has seen. The attributes must be lowered to trigger the effect.

——There is no doubt that this is a very powerful skill.

It was even so powerful that it scared Annan.

What it actually means is the opportunity for "temporary doubling of strength or agility attributes" several times a day.

You must know that the sword skill [Full Strike] requires three times the physical strength to temporarily increase the strength by 30%.

And in a duel, even a 30% increase ten times may not be as decisive as the 100% increase last time.

The Brilliant Sword is a skill related to both will and physical attributes:

Its description is, "Burn the will to the limit, increase the damage saving ability that is directly related to the will attribute (currently the saving throw is 31%), and store all damage taken. Use this skill again to absorb the damage Cut them all out to form a huge ray slash; the lower your health is, the more powerful the ray slash will be, reaching the highest level when your health is below 30%."

This skill can only be used once per day and is a true "ultimate move".

To put it simply, when hit during the charging stage, the damage will be increased, and finally a light cannon will be fired.

Its greatest value is that the charging time is very flexible.

It is considered a channeling spell.

As long as Annan does not use other guidance spells or chant spells, he can always maintain the charged state. Even if you use other sword techniques to attack, the charge will not be interrupted.

If Annan is equipped with [Elven Hand], he can use another guidance spell while charging. It will not affect Annan's status...it is equivalent to a semi-permanent damage immunity.

So Annan did not hesitate and put all three free skill points on [Brilliant Sword].

The brilliant swords at each level have not undergone qualitative changes. It’s just that the additional damage has been increased...

But when the Brilliant Sword reached LV4, the first special effect was finally triggered:

[At LV4: the damage of this skill is increased by an additional 50%]

...Annan's mentality is very complicated.

So long.

He finally looks like a boss...

——Although he has become a backwater, he is still more or less a boss.

His golden "rare elite" template finally gained some convincing.

"I finally have my first ultimate move...my first serious range attack skill."

Annan immediately felt that [Silver Blade Strike] was not good enough.

As expected, the new profession is really cool.

But since the release form of this skill is "cutting".

Then it may interact with Annan's first curse to further increase the damage.

"'Knight of Victory'...?"

Annan muttered to himself.

One skill can only be triggered by lowering the attribute, and the other skill can only be used by lowering the status.

He felt a little ironic inexplicably.

"Forget it, collect the decryption reward."

Annan sighed.

Get ready to receive your reward.

His "brilliance" element originally had a 63% awakening depth. In the nightmare of "The Great Hunt", Annan had already improved to 73%, and after calculating the level of improvement that could be achieved through element extraction, it had already reached 95%.

Now that he accepts this, Annan has officially crossed the 90% threshold. There is no need to pursue 100% awakening depth... because Annan can already fully extract the "brilliant elements" within a safe range. Even if part of the soul is burned for training, the remaining part can be quickly completed.

The other four elements must be pursued next.

——"Wisdom", "Glory", "Beauty", "Strict".

Including "Glory", which has basically completed its awakening in advance, and "Frost", which is naturally mastered. These are the six elements that Annan mastered.

Only by perfectly clearing the twisted nightmare can the depth of awakening of the elements be steadily and safely increased. Although the awakening depth of an element is not directly equal to the awakening rate, it can be regarded as "qualification".

In other words, it is the depth of awakening that "inherits" the elements possessed by the nightmare master. Of course, the premise is that you must also have these elemental qualifications...otherwise, the relevant rewards will not be triggered.

This is one of the reasons why many extraordinary people suppress their own state before advancing to gold.

In addition to looking for advancements and rituals that suit them, they are also looking for distortion-level nightmares ~IndoMTL.com~ that suit them to absorb the elemental power of the nightmare master to enhance the depth of their awakening. Just like in the immortal cultivation simulator, if the level of the golden elixir is not high enough, there is no hope of ascending.

Only when the awakening depth exceeds 90% can one hope to complete the perfect crystallization of the elements without taking drugs. Of course, if they are a truth-level transcendent or a direct descendant of a god, then they are born with an element that is 100% awakened.

However, does the first stage need to be completed at 90%?

So how is the second stage triggered...

Annan thought.

After he confirmed, two traces flashed before his eyes:

[Get the dungeon decryption reward: the element (brilliance) awakening depth increases by 20%]

[Get the dungeon decryption reward: the cursed "Heart of Sisyphus"]

"...Huh?"

Annan let out a light sigh.

This is the second time he has received additional spells in nightmares.

...Don't be Denton's last curse, right?

Annan opened it and took a worried look.

"..."

He suddenly fell silent.

[Heart of Sisyphus (forbidden type): You must not despair due to failure. 】

[This curse is attached to itself, has no maintenance cost and is automatically triggered. It will be automatically lifted when the conditions are met]

[Triggered when you fail any judgment three times in a row and try again—]

[Before this judgment is successful, all your abilities applicable to this judgment will be temporarily +1]

[This curse can be triggered infinitely, but each time this curse is triggered, the erosion rate will be +1; if it is triggered multiple times on the same judgment, the erosion rate will be increased by +2 when it is triggered for the second time, for a total of +3; When triggered for the third time, the erosion degree will be increased by +3, totaling +6, and so on]

[A loser’s last gift and respect—Denton]

Is this your...last ripple?
