As Linda clicked to add skill points, the binding chains wrapped around the skill icons gradually untied with a rattling sound.

This skill also released a dazzling purple light.

Linda stared intently.

[System notification: You have learned the ultimate skill 'Poison Dragon Roar'!]

[Skill Name: Poison Dragon Roar]

[Quality: Orange - Rare and Exclusive]

[Type: Ultimate Skill]

[Consumption: Large]

[Proficiency Level: Level 1 Beginner]

[Effect: Condenses a giant energy dragon with the magic of poison, devouring everything in its path, dealing 'significant' damage, and inflicting 10 stacks of 'Dragon's Lament' on the target, each stack dealing 'high damage']

In the game "Secret Realm Continent", skills described as "significant" have damage multipliers that fluctuate between 600% and 1000%, depending on whether the skill is single-target or area-of-effect.

In other words, Linda's ultimate skill, "Poison Dragon Roar," has a minimum damage increase of 6 times and a maximum of 10 times.

These are secondary.

The main advantage is that it can stack up to 10 layers of 'Dragon's Lament'.

Each level of Dragon's Lament deals significant damage, with a multiplier of around 300%.

10 floors...that is, 3000%.

The total damage is at least 3600%!

Even though Linda had anticipated that her ultimate move might be very strong, its power was still somewhat beyond her imagination.

To put it bluntly, if Linda were to face a level 20 Black Armored Crab General, she could simply use one Poison Dragon Roar to send the opponent packing.

This ultimate skill can deal approximately 30,000 damage to the Black Armored Crab General.

What used to require the entire Phoenix Tail Flower team to unleash a full barrage of attacks to defeat a monster, Linda, now at level 21, can do in a single move.

This is the terrifying increase in an adventurer's strength after crossing the level 20 threshold.

The 200 increase in all attributes also greatly improved Linda's dual defenses.

Now, his physical strength allows him to withstand the attacks of the Crimson Crab King without the Azure Shield!

It's worth mentioning that while adventurers are incredibly powerful against monsters, they can't deal such high damage in internal battles.

Whether they are demon adventurers or adventurers from the secret realm continent, they all essentially operate magic circuits through the source core, transforming them into skills.

Their life barrier power also comes from the source core. When two identical energies clash, the power of their skills will be greatly weakened.

Linda's Poison Dragon Roar deals insane damage to Black Armor Crab Generals, but it doesn't reach that level against adventurers.

The game has a negative status effect of "player PvP damage reduction", but after the transmigration, a rule has evolved that "attack and defense are of the same origin, therefore damage is reduced".

Otherwise, everyone would be incredibly fragile, and many star-level adventurers wouldn't even have any health points...

That being said, Linda's current damage is enough to pose a threat to Star-Rank Adventurers.

After learning 'Poison Dragon Roar', he turned his attention to the recovery skill tree.

There is also a golden fruit here.

The fruit has skill icons on it.

Above is a white-bearded sage, facing Linda, holding a long sword in both hands, held vertically in front of him.

The sage closed his eyes, and wings of light spread behind him.

In the background, feathers formed from light fluttered everywhere.

A group of believers raised their hands in a frenzy.

They all had golden light shields around them.

Linda raised an eyebrow. Such a cool icon! This ultimate move seems pretty awesome, possibly even more powerful than the Poison Dragon Roar!

Without saying a word, he clicked to learn the skill.

[You have learned the skill: Guardian Sword!]

【Skill Name: Guardian Sword】

[Quality: Orange - Rare and Exclusive]

[Type: Ultimate Skill]

[Consumption: Large]

[Proficiency Level: Level 1 Beginner]

[Effect: Conjures a guardian sword with magic, attacking targets in a small area, dealing 'significant' damage, and granting a guardian shield equal to 50% of your maximum health to allies within the area (currently up to 3).]

At first glance, the damage doesn't seem high, unlike Poison Dragon's Roar, which can stack up to ten layers of Dragon's Lament.

Among the ultimate skills of each profession, this ultimate skill, in terms of damage alone, is just average.

But its strength lies in its auxiliary effects.

Linda instantly figured out what made this skill truly powerful.

The included Guardian Shield can be stacked with the Emerald Shield.

Faced with increasingly ferocious high-level monsters, a single Azure Shield is insufficient to effectively alleviate the pressure on the back row.

Even a fragile character like Monica, with the Azure Shield on her, could be taken down by an epic monster pouncing on her face with a single double attack.

The same applies to other mages.

His blood is thicker than Monica's, but not by much.

In the game, ensuring the survival of the back row and enabling them to continuously deal damage to monsters is a major challenge that players need to consider.

Now, Linda has the Guardian Sword, which not only deals area damage but also provides a shield to her teammates.

The initial thickness of the Guardian Shield is terrifying, reaching 50% of Linda's maximum health.

In contrast, the Azure Shield, even at level 4, only provides 45% of the maximum health.

Linda is absolutely certain that once the ultimate skill, Guardian Sword, is maxed out, the shield's thickness will reach an astonishing 100%.

Currently, you have 3 skill points and 1 gold skill point remaining.

Linda gritted her teeth and clicked on the Guardian Sword.

[Would you like to consume 2 skill points to upgrade Guardian Sword proficiency to level 2?]

2 pieces?

A big question mark appeared in Linda's mind.
