Thank you, Primal Zerg, for delivering this exquisite essence.
This increased the Blade Queen's essence collection progress by six percentage points.
Su Bai smiled broadly as he checked his newly acquired skills.
[Skill 4: Health Shield]
[When the Queen of Blades deals damage to enemies, she absorbs some of the excess health into herself. Once this amount exceeds a certain threshold, it transforms into a temporary health shield.]
[If no health or mana is replenished, the shield will continue to weaken until the user is defeated.]
"What a powerful skill!"
Su Bai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise.
Based on the skill description, this should be a passive skill.
It deals damage to enemies, absorbs their vital energy, and integrates it into itself to form a temporary shield.
Although there are certain limitations, the shield will continue to weaken without replenishment of health and mana, and cannot be retained indefinitely.
However, as long as you keep killing enemies during battle, this health shield can last indefinitely.
Having this brand-new passive skill will greatly enhance the Blade Queen's sustained combat ability.
Charging into the enemy ranks and killing a large number of enemies converts their damage into a health shield, which effectively protects one's own safety.
With the added advantage of her innate talent—Heroic and Resolute—the Queen of Blades will become a war machine.
He could single-handedly annihilate a large number of enemy troops.
"Kerrigan, if we kill the evil cultists who previously invaded our territory, will the Blood Shield still work?" Su Bai turned around and asked.
"The evil cultists are not made of flesh and blood, but are composed entirely of bones. They have no blood and qi to absorb, so they cannot be converted into a blood and qi shield."
Kerrigan answered quickly without hesitation.
“It seems there are still some limitations.” Su Bai paused, then continued, “However, most of the enemies we are currently facing are made of flesh and blood, so the Blood Shield skill can play a huge role.”
"Charging into the enemy ranks, slaughtering all around! My lord, your queen will be unstoppable!"
Kerrigan's lips curled up into a smile.
"Your words made me feel incredibly safe!"
Su Bai grinned, his face practically beaming with joy.
It has to be said, having the Queen of Blades by my side is truly wonderful.
When encountering high-level ferocious beasts, monsters, or local forces, she is always the first to take the lead and eliminate them.
This made Su Bai feel very at ease.
"The Queen of Blades' power fills me with awe."
Dehaka, standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up.
“You are now part of the interstellar swarm, a close comrade-in-arms. There’s nothing to fear,” Su Bai said with a slight smile.
"I can sense that the aura emanating from the swarm is shrouded in an evil, dark power. What's going on?"
Dehaka stretched out his thick tail, grabbed a jumping insect, held it up in front of him, and examined it carefully.
“Indeed! The swarm is suffering from the Dark Blood Curse, causing continuous cell damage. Only by staying on the ground covered by creep can this damage be mitigated.”
Su Bai paused for a moment, then continued, "Do you have a solution?"
“This is too complicated for my brain cells to handle.” Dehaka released the springtail by releasing its tail.
"By the way, try using this book of experience."
Su Bai took out a pale yellow old book from his storage space and handed it over.
"Reading? That's something humans like to do. Primitive Zerg seek power and have no need for useless knowledge."
Dehaka shook his head, appearing somewhat resistant.
"No, no, no, this book doesn't contain knowledge. It seals within the essence left behind by the death of the most powerful ferocious beast. Once absorbed, it can be transformed into pure energy, rapidly increasing your level," Su Bai quickly explained.
"So that's how it is! My lord, I have great respect for your generosity and kindness!"
Dehaka, his face beaming with excitement, stretched out his forelimbs and took the Book of Experience in his paws.
"Follow me, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."
Su Bai's lips curled up, revealing a smile.
The way to govern subordinates is to use both kindness and severity.
Dehaka, a rare and formidable general, joined the Zerg swarm for the first time.
Signing a blood pact is a way of displaying the lord's authority.
The gift of the Book of Experience now symbolizes the lord's benevolence.
"Thank you, my lord! I swear to serve you to the death!"
As he spoke, Dehaka couldn't wait to use the Book of Experience.
In an instant, a surge of powerful yellow energy erupted.
After circling in the air once, it went straight into Dehaka's body.
"Clap clap clap!"
A loud cracking sound of bones popping occurred.
Dehaka's size began to increase at a visible rate.
His height increased from three meters to four meters.
His muscles also became stronger, with more defined lines, exuding power.
However, the severed arm still did not grow back.
"Your figure has increased significantly; the difference before and after is very obvious."
Su Bai raised his head, looked into Dehaka's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Great lord, you have made me stronger!"
Dehaka's eyes lit up; he looked extremely excited.
Just then, the system's mechanical synthesized voice rang in Su Bai's ears.
[Notification: Congratulations, Lord Su Bai! Your hero Dehaka has reached the maximum experience points and has leveled up to Lv12]
[Note: After the upgrade, Dehaka's strength, speed, size, and the lethality of his mammoth ray are enhanced.]
[Tip: After upgrading, the talent - Essence Collector - is strengthened, allowing you to obtain more essence by defeating enemies, and increasing your size faster.]
[Tip: After upgrading, Skill 1 - Savage Leap is enhanced, allowing you to leap to a farther location and deal greater damage to enemies within the landing area.]
[Note: After upgrading, Skill 2 - Intimidating Roar - is enhanced, its power is increased, and the sound wave coverage area expands to a diameter of 150 meters.]
[Note: After upgrading, your combat power level will increase by four levels, reaching level 20]
[Note: A brand new skill has been awakened. Please check it yourself, Lord.]
"Promoted four ranks in a row!"
"This is a well-made book of experience, not bad at all!"
"A brand new skill has been awakened, and Dehaka's overall combat power will be enhanced once again!"
Su Bai smiled, in a great mood.
The most noticeable change after the upgrade is Dehaka's physique.
He grew a meter taller in one go; his growth rate was truly astonishing.
In time, the level will become higher.
Wouldn't it become a Godzilla-like monster tens or even hundreds of meters tall?
That scene is spectacular just to think about.
When the time comes, riding on Dehaka's shoulder and strolling around in front of other lords' houses will definitely be very cool.
"Why haven't my arms grown back yet?"
Dehaka raised his severed arm, a look of distress in his eyes.
