…
On the tree-lined road in the southwest suburbs of Tivian, a carriage pulled by two horses was moving quickly along the road towards the city of Tivian. Dorothy was sitting in the shaking carriage, wrapped in a blanket to resist the cold in the early morning. She had dark circles under her eyes after a night of sleep, and her face showed an unconcealable fatigue.
“Wuuuuuuuuu~ This is such a long New Year’s Eve… But fortunately, it’s finally over…”
After a long yelp, Dorothy murmured in a sighing tone that her first New Year's Eve in this world was destined to be unforgettable for her.
'I started working at around 10pm last night and have been working till the sun is about to rise. I haven't stopped for a moment... If I don't finish now, I will probably die of exhaustion... But the result is not bad. Although the process was a bit thrilling, at least the important goal has been achieved...'
Rubbing her eyes, Dorothy thought to herself that she was now a professor of esoteric studies at the Cretaceous level, and her biggest goal in recent months, promotion, was finally achieved.
When Dorothy thought that she had finally been promoted, she felt a surge of joy in her heart, and the accumulated fatigue was relieved a lot at once.
After using thunder to completely destroy the derivative of the Spider Fang Priest, Dorothy did not stop, but immediately picked up all the holy emblems and dealt with the scene of the promotion ceremony. After taking Edek, who was used as a target, back into the magic box, she immediately got into the carriage and controlled the coachman's corpse to leave immediately.
After the red-level derivative body was destroyed, the spiritual thread connecting him to her body could no longer be maintained and was severed, so no one could track Dorothy this time.
This time, after Dorothy defeated the enemy, she immediately evacuated the scene and did not choose to search the bodies. The reason for this was that the noise of the previous lightning strike was a little loud. Due to the distance, although the official extraordinary people would not be attracted for a while, those accomplices in Barrett's villa would definitely be attracted.
The reason why Dorothy, after being promoted to Creature, can seemingly easily control a Red Form derivative above Creature is mainly because the other party had previously actively absorbed Dorothy's corpse in order to track Dorothy, and contained Dorothy's spiritual thread in the body. After Dorothy's promotion, she can use the connection of the spiritual thread to perform a series of actions.
Dorothy used the spiritual silk to transmit a large amount of damage to the Spider Fang Priest, and finally bound him and destroyed him with thunder. However, if the opponent did not contain the spiritual silk first, it would not be so easy for Dorothy to deal with him.
There was a Creature and an unknown number of Black Soils and apprentices in the Barrett Villa. Dorothy did not want to fight him as his spiritual energy was exhausted and there was no way to connect with his spiritual thread, so she chose to leave. Anyway, she saw that the derivative was eroded by a shadow man. Apart from Luer, there would not be any good things on a Black Soil, and even if there were, they would probably be smashed to pieces by thunder.
After a night of tossing and turning, Dorothy was already very tired. The promotion and fighting had consumed her spiritual energy, so Dorothy didn't want to stay in this place for long, and she chose to evacuate immediately. Because her current state was very bad, Dorothy didn't even plan to fight for the remaining information in the Barrett secret room. What she wanted now was to find a bed and have a good sleep.
So, Dorothy drove quickly through the city exhausted. During this process, she was finally able to take a good look at her current condition.
The current Dorothy is a "Professor of Esoteric Studies" of the Pure Reason Path. She also simulates the two "Enlightenment" Path professions of "Spiritual Witch" and "Thunder Summoner", and acquires the main abilities of these two professions.
Needless to say, the ability of the spiritual witch through the spiritual thread is damage conduction. Now Dorothy can arbitrarily conduct various damages between the targets connected by the spiritual thread.
However, this kind of conduction also has some limitations. The damage it conducts can only be the damage suffered within one day. If the time limit is exceeded, the old injury cannot be conducted.
Moreover, the conduction of this kind of injury is only related to the size and range of the injury, and has nothing to do with the location. The larger the wound, the more spiritual power is consumed during the conduction. Just now, Dorothy conducted three pistol wounds to the Spider Fang Priest. Although they were all in vital parts, the damage range was not large. Therefore, each gunshot wound only consumed 1 point of "Cup" and 1 point of "Initiate". Three conductions consumed 3 points of "Cup".
Another key point is that damage conduction cannot reverse death. If a person is fatally injured and dies, Dorothy will conduct the fatal injury away, but the person will not be resurrected, and there will only be a complete corpse at the original place.
In addition to damage transmission, Dorothy's original puppeteer abilities have also been enhanced to varying degrees. For example, Dorothy's maximum radius for controlling corpses has been increased by 10 feet, and within 10 feet, Dorothy can control 30 corpses at the same time without obvious spiritual consumption. The size range for controlling animal corpses has also been expanded, and Dorothy can now try to control slightly smaller or larger corpses.
In addition, Dorothy's puppet mark has also been strengthened. Now she has stronger control over the living puppet, and the spiritual loss of controlling the living puppet has also been reduced. Each point of "cup" can maintain the control of the living puppet for one hour.
In addition to the Spirit Witch, the only ability Dorothy obtained was the lightning ability of the Thunder Summoner.
Dorothy can now generate electricity by consuming "Stone" and "Inspiration" spirituality. This discharge ability is mainly released based on herself at the black level. For example, Dorothy can add a state to herself, allowing the current to flow through her body, while improving her own lightning adaptability and conducting contact discharge on the enemy. She can also release arcs from her hands through energy storage to carry out long-range attacks on enemies within a certain range.
After reaching the next level, this discharge ability has a more powerful use, calling for lightning. Dorothy can now call for lightning from any point in the sky within a seven-foot radius of herself. The power of this lightning is extremely huge, but it must have a basic charging time. This charging time is more determined by the weather conditions.
If the weather conditions are right, that is, if there are heavy thunderclouds or rain clouds in the sky, this energy storage only takes one or two seconds. If there are clouds in the sky, it takes more than four seconds depending on the degree of cloudiness. If the sky is a clear day, it takes extra spiritual power to create thunderclouds. This kind of lightning can also be enhanced by storing extra energy and extra spiritual power.
Just like just now, when Dorothy struck the Spider Fang Priest with a bolt of lightning, she consumed 3 points of "Stone" and 3 points of "Inspiration". Intercepting the arc of the Spider Fang Priest's blood spear consumed 1 "Stone" and 1 "Inspiration" from Dorothy.
After Dorothy's promotion and battle, her current spiritual accumulation outside of the blue bar is like this.
1 “cup”, 6 “stone”, 5 “shadow”, 2 “lamp”, 14 “silence”, 0 “start”.
In a sense, it was like falling back into poverty overnight.
"Huh... It's like going back to the time before liberation..."
Sitting in the carriage, Dorothy looked at her current spiritual situation and couldn't help but sigh with heartache. Before, everyone was still in two digits, but now, except for "寂", they are all in single digits, and some are even only 1 and 2.
At times like this, she would sigh for those normal miscellaneous professions, who had two blue bars, could use their abilities normally, and the spiritual consumption could be used up easily by resting for a few days.
After being promoted to level 1, Dorothy could already foresee that in addition to the "cup", she would become a big "stone" shortage.
Fortunately, I have a good relationship with the Craftsmen's Guild, and they have no shortage of "Stone" secrets. I can talk to them and tell them that as long as I have enough money, I will definitely have enough spirituality.
