Chapter 215
Zeke examined the changed screen.
Surprisingly, the screen displayed detailed information about the room where Zeke was, as if it had been perfectly replicated.
All sorts of information appeared, listing the room’s structure, furniture placement, and even wall materials.
“So this is what building a defense zone means.”
Areas designated as defense zones allowed for much more detailed viewing of area information compared to regular maps.
Zeke got up from his seat and moved some objects around.
The screen immediately reflected those movements.
“This would be incredibly advantageous if we could use it in siege warfare.”
If they could link a fortress like the Agamemnon Castle or a defensive base with defense mode, they could easily track both enemy and ally movements, making battle management much smoother.
Zeke recalled the wars from his past life.
The situations where they had to fight the Imperial Army while trapped in the castle, forced into a defensive position, were utterly hopeless.
‘If we had this ability back then, everyone would have survived.’
It was a bitter memory. Still, many things had changed since his regression.
If something similar were to happen again, he had no intention of being pushed around like before.
Since his regression changed the future, there could be a different outcome instead of the Third Continental War.
Zeke planned to thoroughly crush Abel’s ambitions to prevent the horrific war from his past life from happening again.
‘If I can stop Abel and those Narak bastards, the worst-case scenario won’t happen. The best option would be to kill Abel first… but if I make a clumsy move, it could backfire, so for now I’ll focus on using Sister Kali to keep him in check while I concentrate on getting stronger.’
Zeke refocused and opened the settings window again. This time it was to distribute karma points.
“Let’s see. 6,834 karma points. That’s quite a bit saved up.”
Zeke first decided to increase his inventory capacity, which had expanded after promoting to Senior Administrator.
While Intermediate Administrator had a 500-slot limit, Senior Administrator allowed for double that at 1,000 slots.
Since four slots could be expanded for 1 point, he could add 500 more slots by spending 125 points.
“Good, this should be enough to work with. That leaves 6,334 points.”
After thinking it over, Zeke nodded.
“Let’s unlock Dragon Clan Skills Level 4.”
Unlocking Dragon Clan Skills Level 4 required 3,000 points.
However, after acquiring the Great Dragon being title, the points needed for Dragon Clan skill unlocks were reduced by 20%.
“2,400 points to unlock. Alright, let’s do it.”
Zeke unlocked Dragon Clan Skills Level 4.
[Dragon Clan Skills Level 4 unlocked.]
[Title ‘Dragon Clan’ detected.]
[Title Dragon Clan changes to constitution Dragon God Body.]
[Active skill ‘Hydra’s Poison’ is absorbed into constitution ‘Dragon God Body’.]
[Dragon God Body ability fully unlocked, enabling partial transformation of body parts into dragon form.]
[‘Dragon God Body’ unlock partially releases Bahamut’s Heart seal. Current compression seal level: 47.5%.]
[Dragon’s Breath skill grows.]
[Dragon Warrior Soldier skill changes to Dragon Warrior skill.]
“The ability to transform body parts into dragon form.”
Having gained Dragon God Body, Zeke could instinctively feel how to use this ability.
He raised his hand and concentrated his spirit force.
CRACK!
Amazingly, Zeke’s hand transformed to become like a dragon’s.
His nails lengthened and scales appeared on his forearm like a dragon’s.
Zeke lightly swung his transformed hand.
This left marks on the wall as if dragon claws had scratched it.
“So it combines Dragon Scale Armor and dragon claws.”
Hydra’s Poison had also merged with his body abilities, allowing him to freely create and use poison.
“As my constitution changed, abilities merged with my bodily organs.”
This time when he concentrated spirit force in his eyes, unlike before, Dragon Eyes appeared in both eyes.
The range and amount of information he could see with Dragon Eyes increased compared to before, and using the dragon’s sense to read the past felt much more natural.
Since he could use abilities much more instantaneously compared to using them as skills, it seemed like it would be useful in battle.
Next, Zeke checked his transformed Dragon Clan skills.
Dragon Clan Skills (Level 4 Released): Gluttony (Expert) / Incantation (Skilled) / Dragon’s Breath (Skilled) / Dragon Warrior (Beginner+)
Due to Dragon God Body’s influence, Dragon’s Breath skill proficiency had increased.
“I couldn’t properly use Dragon’s Breath before because it consumed too much mana at once. Now that the proficiency is higher, it should be more usable.”
As Dragon Warrior Soldier skill changed to Dragon Warrior, the proficiency reset to beginner.
“Dragon Warriors can summon up to 20 units…”
Zeke tried summoning one Dragon Warrior.
SWOOSH!
The Dragon Warrior appeared larger than the previous Dragon Warrior Soldiers and seemed to have sturdier armor.
Additionally, unlike the bow-wielding Dragon Warrior Soldiers, the Dragon Warriors were equipped with what appeared to be throwing spears and crossbows.
Zeke could now summon a total of 25 units – 20 Dragon Warriors plus 5 Ghost Soldiers received from Hoshgar.
“Though the numbers decreased, I can use them more tactically than before.”
Zeke dispelled the Dragon Warrior summon with satisfaction and checked the list of Dragon Clan Skills Level 4.
―Dragon Clan Skills Level 4―
Dragon Wings (Locked) / Dragon Race Summon (Locked)
Requires 8,000 karma points to unlock Level 5 skills
After checking the list, Zeke read the descriptions of the Level 4 skills.
―Dragon Clan Skill Introduction―
Dragon Wings: Grants the ability to fly freely through the sky. (Required points for unlock: 2,000)
Dragon Race Summon: Enables temporary summoning of dragon race beings through a medium. (Required points for unlock: 2,500)
“The ability to fly, and I can summon dragon race beings?”
Though the required points were enormous, these were very tempting abilities.
Especially the ability to fly could be a huge advantage in battle for striking enemy weak points.
“With 20% reduction, that’s 1,600 plus 2,000 points. So 3,600 points needed.”
After spending points on Level 4 unlocks, he had 3,934 points remaining.
Though it felt like his hard-earned points would vanish at once, Dragon Clan skills were always useful, so Zeke decided to invest 3,600 points.
“Alright. I’ll unlock both.”
Zeke boldly unlocked Dragon Wings and Dragon Race Summon.
[Dragon Clan skill ‘Dragon Wings’ unlocked.]
[Dragon Clan skill ‘Dragon Race Summon’ unlocked.]
Zeke opened the Dragon Clan skills window again.
Dragon Clan Skills (Level 4 Released): Gluttony (Expert) / Incantation (Skilled) / Dragon’s Breath (Skilled) / Dragon Warrior (Beginner+) / Dragon Wings (Beginner) / Dragon Race Summon (Beginner)
“Let’s try using it.”
Without hesitation, Zeke activated the Dragon Wings skill.
He felt his body float into the air according to his will.
“HOOH?”
He could maneuver freely in the air as easily as moving his hands and feet.
He would need to test various aspects like maximum height, maximum speed, and duration.
After deactivating the skill, Zeke landed back on the ground.
He smiled with satisfaction.
‘Good. This is worth the points.’
Deciding to test Dragon Race Summon later after getting dragon race components from Richmond, Zeke moved on to organizing the items he obtained from the tower.
“Let’s see.”
Zeke separated out items he could absorb abilities from using Gluttony.
He took out Anexi’s Flute with spirit suppression ability, Orc Race Medal, Dark Elf Race Medal, Shambhala’s Necklace, and Royal Vampire Medal.
“Is this all I can use Gluttony on for now?”
The Legendary Artifact Solomon’s Ring and the horn containing the power of ‘Judge of Trial of Struggle’ seemed better to keep for now.
Without hesitation, Zeke used Gluttony on the sorted items.
TSSTSSTSS!
Zeke’s shadow rose up and swallowed all the items.
Soon after, messages appeared.
[Active skill ‘Dissonance’ combines with ‘Battle Cry’ to become ‘War Cry [B-rank (Beginner)]’.]
[Acquired active skill ‘Taming [B-rank (Beginner)]’.]
[Skills Spirit Suppression, Blood Mist, and Eye of Truth combine to form a new skill.]
[Acquired active skill ‘Blood Eye [S-rank (Beginner)]’.]
Zeke checked the information of his newly acquired skills.
―Skill Information―
War Cry: Instills fear in enemies and boosts allies’ morale within range. Can also recover allies’ status ailments.
―Skill Information―
Blood Eye: A powerful ancient sorcery that can pierce through and suppress souls. Can exert stronger binding power using blood as a medium.
Zeke made a perplexed expression seeing Blood Eye’s ability.
“Ancient sorcery? This seems like forbidden magic that only dark mages would use.”
Though its power would be tremendous as an S-rank skill, he felt slightly uncomfortable using it.
Feeling somewhat uneasy, Zeke decided to test the Blood Eye ability first.
When he activated the skill, a symbol appeared on his forehead like when using Eye of Truth.
However, unlike before, an eye symbol that looked like it was drawn in blood appeared on his forehead.
WOOOONG!
The eye carved on his forehead began turning blood-red before opening as a third eye. This allowed Zeke to see both the physical and spirit realms overlapped.
“UGH.”
Even with Zeke’s powerful mental strength, seeing two dimensional worlds simultaneously was quite taxing even for him.
With pain like his brain was burning, Zeke had to frantically use Healing Factor.
After his brain recovered and he finally adapted to Blood Eye, Zeke could examine the previously invisible spirit realm dimension.
Unlike the physical world, the spirit realm appeared like a completely different world filled with energy displaying various colors.
‘So this is how it’s possible to pierce through and suppress souls in the soul world.’
Zeke recalled his past struggles catching necromancers who dealt with spirits. With Blood Eye, dealing with ancient spirits should become easier.
When Zeke stopped using the Blood Eye skill, the blood-red symbol on his forehead disappeared.
Zeke caught his breath, feeling significant fatigue.
“This seems to be the most taxing among all my skills.”
Given its powerful abilities, he needed to be careful when using it.
Finally, Zeke took out the random box from his inventory.
It was another unranked random box received as the final reward for conquering the tower.
The previous random box had yielded the Legendary Artifact ‘Solomon’s Ring’, so he was excited to see what would come out this time.
“Hope it’s another item containing divine power.”
Zeke muttered his wish as he slowly opened the random box.
Then a message appeared.
[Divine power Luck activates.]
[Due to Luck’s influence, the random box result changes.]
‘Luck activated?’
Like before, rainbow light burst brilliantly from inside the box.
After the light faded, Zeke slowly checked what was inside the box.
“What’s this?”
What came out of the box was none other than a compass.
“A compass?”
Zeke was slightly taken aback when a seemingly ordinary compass emerged despite divine power Luck’s influence.
He quickly checked the compass’s information.
―Compass Information―
Description: Points in the direction of what the user wishes to find.
Unique Divine Power: Absolute Search
Special Properties: Detects holistic causality to determine direction toward what the user wishes to find. However, cannot search for anything else until the chosen target is found.
“It detects causality to determine direction?”
Being a compass with a unique divine power didn’t seem particularly extraordinary for an item.
Then Zeke suddenly remembered something.
‘With this compass, I might be able to find the Fairy Lake…’
At that moment, a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.
