Linda nodded secretly; this prop was exactly what he needed.
A powerful, explosive, and wide-range trump card!
Although she has Kafni, a powerful weapon, Kafni's divine power can only be used once, and it's unknown how long it will take to recharge.
During the charging period, Kaphni will also become a useless cripple.
The cost is a bit high.
Large explosive stones can be used as Linda's regular trump card without any negative effects.
He quietly clicked on the system inventory and materialized the large explosive stone into his palm.
It is the size of a die, resembling a red cube.
Touching it reveals the terrifying temperature contained within; if Linda infuses it with magic and throws it out, it will trigger a powerful explosion.
"nice one."
Linda carefully placed it into a special hanging pocket on her belt and fastened the button to prevent accidental contact.
Then, the skill tree page was opened.
He leveled up to level 8 and had 6 skill points left unused.
Keep 2 skill points for emergencies.
Just like in League of Legends, you don't add skill points at level 2; you only add them when you need a specific skill.
You have 4 skill points available.
Linda turned her attention to the poison skill tree.
Level 5 unlocks the second tier of skills, namely: [Thorn Armor] and [Poison Resistance].
Click to view Linda.
[Thorn Armor: Covers the body in spike-like magical energy, increasing physical defense by 30% and reflecting 10% of damage.]
[Poison Resistance: Reduces poison damage taken by 30%]
Both are very practical skills.
The former reminded Linda of the 'Thornmail' item in League of Legends. Tank characters who equip Thornmail can stand still and reflect damage back to the enemy's damage dealers until they die.
The Hero is a tanky character, which makes him a perfect fit for the 'Thorn Armor' skill.
The second [Poison Resistance] is also very useful, with 30% damage reduction, which is definitely not a small amount. If you max it out, you can probably get 50%.
Linda consumes two skill points to learn.
[System Notification: You have learned the new skills 'Thorn Armor' and 'Poison Resistance'!]
With her two remaining skill points, Linda invested them into the recovery skill tree.
The two skills in the first tier are: [Intermediate Healing] and [Self-Healing].
Linda learned about self-healing.
The skill description is: [Bindles oneself with magic, restoring a 'small' amount of health every three seconds, lasting for thirty seconds.]
Healing combined with Thornmail is a perfect match.
Moving our gaze upwards, we arrive at the second tier of the healing skill tree.
Only one skill: [Small Group Heal]
The healing skill tree is more geared towards the late game; there don't seem to be many powerful skills in the early game.
Linda thought to herself.
He didn't need the group healing spell for the time being; he could use it when needed. He invested this available skill point into his attack skill, [Venom Orb].
After adding points, the icon color of the Venom Orb becomes deeper.
The description has also changed accordingly.
[Skill: Venom Orb]
Current proficiency level: lv2 proficiency
【Effect: Fires a venom orb straight forward at a moderate speed, dealing high damage to those hit, dealing damage once per second for 6 seconds, and can stack up to 1 time】
The duration was increased from 5 seconds to 6 seconds, and the number of layers was changed from 0 to 1.
Linda nodded in satisfaction. The Venom Orb had reached level 2 proficiency, a qualitative leap.
Now he can throw out two venom orbs and then leave the game running, waiting for the monsters to lose health and die.
Linda left two spare skill points and closed the system interface.
He saw Kaphni beaming with joy.
"What good thing happened?"
Kaphni proudly puffed out her massive chest: "I, a level 8 thief, have mastered a powerful attack skill."
"What?"
"Poison Explosion Dagger: Deals double damage to poisoned enemies. Also includes Dagger Scatter: Throws three daggers, causing area damage!"
Kaphni laughed, "This deity now has the ability to defeat monsters on her own."
"At least I don't have to drag this good-for-nothing around anymore," Linda sighed.
"Useless trash? I took all the magic cores!" Kaphni snapped, rolling up her sleeves, ready to fight Linda.
Just then, the bathroom door was pushed open with a whoosh.
They saved the overconfident Kaphni.
The two stopped their playful banter and looked at the orc girl warily.
No one can accurately predict what the other person is thinking at this moment.
Having witnessed the witch's purifying abilities, do you intend to befriend them or remain their enemy?
Linda looked over and saw water droplets clinging to Lulu's short hair after her bath, with steam rising from her warm skin.
He caught a faint, pleasant scent wafting towards him.
The girl, chewing a piece of slime gum, with her hands in her pockets and her tail hanging down slightly above her ankles, calmly walked to the other side of the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Why did you save me?
Lulu scrutinized the two of them and asked directly.
Kaphni stood by as if facing a formidable enemy, wisps of golden light appearing in her eyes, ready to unleash her divine power at any moment.
Linda reached out, pressed her hand on Kaphni's shoulder, and shook her head.
"but..."
Kaphni was not entirely at ease.
However, she couldn't withstand Linda's firm attitude, so she had no choice but to withdraw her divine power.
"If things go wrong, I won't be responsible." Kaphni retreated to a relatively far position, just in case anything happened, she could come to the rescue.
Linda's actions were not reckless.
In the game, Lulu's profile describes her as a loyal and righteous orc girl; otherwise, she wouldn't have defied the nobles to protect her friends and been demoted to a slave.
He saved her life, and she also has the powerful weapon Kaphni. Logically and emotionally, Lulu wouldn't lay a hand on him.
Of course, being able to understand something and being able to do it are two different things.
Linda's composure surprised Lulu and also prompted Linda to receive a system notification:
[Witch Lulu's trust level +3, current trust level: 33, polite greeting]
Linda replied casually, "There's no reason, I just had an itch to help, and I happened to save her."
Lulu shook her head, stared into his eyes, and said, "I don't believe it."
If it were me, I wouldn't believe it either.
Linda silently thought that he was willing to expose his witch purification ability in order to save a 'strange' witch... If he were Lulu, he would think that the other party was lusting after his body or had other motives.
In short, there was definitely a purpose behind it; it's impossible for someone to be a pushover who would just "save you by chance."
But Linda couldn't tell Lulu that it was to make up for her in the game in their past life.
And, saving her will earn you a trust reward from the system...
So he chose not to answer, and instead asked, "So, what have you decided to do? Thank me, or kill us both to cover your tracks?"
Lulu had long since given up on the idea of fighting and killing. Her hands, hidden in her pockets, never turned into beast claws.
