The light of dusk streamed through the windows and into the temple.
It was quiet inside, with only the sound of breathing rising and falling.
The red-haired and silver-haired girls looked at the black magic ball at Linda's fingertips with confused expressions.
It's somewhat like the dark element, but not entirely. The energy within is much more volatile; even a small wisp of it makes them feel threatened.
My immediate thought was that I absolutely must not be hit by this magic-based skill, or the consequences would be dire!
"What is this?" Leah asked curiously.
"I call it 'Twin Magic'."
A faint smile appeared on Linda's lips as she looked at the two people who were like curious children, and said, "Twin magic is composed of poison and healing elements. These two energies have completely different properties, one is more offensive and the other is more defensive."
The most prominent characteristic of the twin magic formed by their combination is its instability.
Like an extremely compressed alchemical bomb, it is very powerful.
The downside is that even I, as their owner, am not skilled enough to handle them.
If we compare Linda's poison magic to a gray wolf and her healing magic to a sheep, then what comes from the two of them is a wild tiger.
Linda couldn't make the tiger completely obey her commands, but conversely, the tiger's strength was far superior to the former two.
Isa hesitated, "You look quite pale. Twin magic can be harmful to the body, so perhaps you shouldn't use it..."
"Wow, that's amazing! It looks really powerful!" Lia looked at the black magic particles in the air with curiosity, and reached out to touch them carefully.
Faced with their different attitudes, Linda smiled and said, "Don't worry, although this magic will cause me some damage, my life barrier is relatively thick, and I also have healing spells, so the benefits outweigh the drawbacks."
Just as Isa saw, using this fused twin magic would cause Linda to enter a state of continuous health loss.
He stared into the void and silently uttered, "Open the system."
Go to [Personal Interface] - [Skill Tree].
On the left is a bright green healing skill tree, and on the right is a purple poison skill tree.
Between the two, a much shorter twin tree, twisted together like a braid, grew, its branches a blend of emerald green and purple.
Its name is 【Twin System】.
A system message box displays a previous message: [Congratulations on touching a Law Fragment and comprehending the "Twin" skill!]
Fragments of Laws, a term that has never appeared in the game before.
Linda couldn't help but wonder if Isa's mastery of Ice Star Crack and Lia's mastery of Blazing Flame Slash were due to accidentally touching fragments of the law?
Just like the great laws and rules in fantasy and cultivation worlds, this fantastical world also has its own "Dao".
These are "fragments of laws".
If one could fully grasp the laws, perhaps one could obtain power comparable to that of a god... Various thoughts flashed through Linda's mind.
But right now, the most important goal is to become a Moon-rank adventurer; reaching level 100 is still a long way off.
Linda shook her head and turned her gaze to the newly emerged twin skill tree.
Currently, there are only two skills at the top. The bottom skill doesn't need any points; he has already mastered it and reached level 1.
The icon for this skill resembles a spiral gene chain, with healing and poison magic intertwined to form a two-colored pillar of light that soars into the sky.
[Passive Skill: Twin Magic]
[Level: lv1]
[Description: At the cost of -100 health per second, activate Twin Magic. Increases attack by 30%, reduces healing by 30%]
Increase attack power, but reduce recovery amount...
Linda pondered to herself. At first glance, this skill seemed like a double-edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages.
However, you can freely choose to turn it on or off depending on the battle situation.
Even at level 1 proficiency in Twin Magic, it can increase attack by 30%. I wonder how much higher it would be at level 5... This skill alleviates the drawback of Linda's poison magic dealing damage slowly.
You can give it a "mostly positive" rating. Later, when you reach level 5, it might be able to be upgraded to "overwhelmingly positive".
Linda shifted her gaze upwards, looking at the only two skills of the Twin type.
The skill icon is grayed out; you need to invest skill points to learn it.
This is when the importance of the habit of saving skill points becomes apparent.
Linda had 3 points left, and generously took out one.
"Add some points!"
Linda muttered a word, and the chains binding the skill icons loosened with a rattle, revealing the deep black skill icons:
A dark, crescent-shaped sword light slashed forward, and hordes of goblins were terrified and fled in panic, dropping wooden clubs, pitchforks, and straw sandals all over the ground.
They didn't even bother to pick up their weapons, terrified by the flash of the sword.
[Active Skill: Demonic Heart Slash]
[Type: Rare Skill]
[Number of uses: 3]
[Level: lv1]
[Description: With a demonic, steely will, he mutilates his own body to unleash a furious strike. Activated with 30% of his maximum health, it deals 'significant' damage.]
After reading the skill description, Linda's expression was somewhat blank. Was the cost of activating this Demon Heart Slash too high?
Not only does it consume health, but it's also calculated based on maximum health. This means that before he can even damage the enemy with a single sword strike, he loses 5550 health points himself!
Monica, being a fragile character, only has around 5550 HP.
This means that Linda needs to consume one Monica before she can unleash the Demon Heart Slash!
Just thinking about it hurts.
In contrast, the Demon Heart Slash is extremely powerful, and its proficiency level of only lv1 is comparable to the lv4 level Forest Dragon's Wrathful Fang.
In short, Demon Heart Slash is a pure damage-dealing skill; if leveled up to the maximum, it might even be stronger than a finishing move.
