Chapter 432 Curse: Heart of Sisyphus

Annan carefully checked the skills of the Victory Knight.

"...This profession is really good."

He marveled.

——As expected of an extremely rare profession.

After 100 consecutive failures without mistakes, he still had to succeed in the end... Annan even doubted whether ten people in this profession would ever advance.

Victory Knight LV23: [Winter Swordsmanship LV10 (Max)], [Frost Swordsmanship LV10 (Max)], [Bypass LV1], [Will to Victory LV1 (Max)], [Brilliant Sword LV1], Free Skill Point 3

The first-level [Silver Hand] and [Silver Blade Strike] have become two new skills, [Will to Victory] and [Brilliant Sword].

Will to Victory is a passive skill that only needs one level to be fully leveled.

His effect is that when the sum of Strength and Dexterity is lower than the Will attribute, once a day, the Will attribute can be used instead of the Strength or Dexterity attribute to make arbitrary judgments.

For every ten points of willpower, you can get an extra chance to use [Will to Victory]. At present, Annan's will attribute is 31 points, which means that he can use it four times a day.

This is also the first skill that Annan has seen, and the skill must be lowered to trigger the effect.

——There is no doubt that this is a very powerful skill.

It was even so powerful that it scared Annan.

What it actually means is the burst chance of "temporarily doubling the strength or agility attribute" several times a day.

You must know that [Full Strike] This swordsmanship skill needs to consume three times the physical strength, so it can only temporarily increase the strength by 30%.

Moreover, when fighting against each other, even if it is increased by 30% ten times, it may not be more decisive than the effect of the previous increase of 100%.

The Brilliant Sword is a skill related to both will and physical attributes at the same time:

Its description reads, "Burning Will to the limit, increasing the ability to save damage positively related to the Will attribute (currently saving 31%), and storing all damage taken. Use this skill again to chop all absorbed damage out. , forming a huge light slash; the lower your own health, the more the power of the light slash will increase, reaching the highest when your health is lower than 30%."

This skill can only be used once a day and is a true "big move".

To put it simply, being beaten during the charging phase can increase damage, and finally chop out a light cannon.

Its greatest value is that the charging time is very flexible.

It is considered a channeling spell.

As long as Annan doesn't use other channeling spells or use chanting spells, he can always maintain the charged state. Even if you use other swordsmanship to attack, the charge will not be interrupted.

If Annan is equipped with [Elven Hand], he can use another channeling spell while charging. It doesn't affect Annan's state...it's equivalent to a semi-permanent damage save.

So Annan did not hesitate, and directly placed all three free skill points on the [Brilliant Sword].

The brilliant swords of each level have not undergone qualitative changes. It's just that the additional damage is increased...

But when the brilliant sword reached LV4, the first special effect was finally triggered:

[LV4: The damage of this skill is increased by an additional 50%]

... Annan's mentality is very complicated.

so long.

He finally looks like a boss...

——Although he has become a backwater man, he is also a boss to some extent.

His golden "rare elite" template finally had some persuasive power.

"I finally have my first big move... My first serious area attack skill."

Annan immediately felt that [Silver Blade Strike] was not fragrant enough.

Sure enough, it's still a cool new career.

But since the release form of this skill is "slash".

Then it may interact with Annan's first curse to further increase the damage.

"'Victory Knight'...?"

Annan muttered to himself.

One skill can be triggered when the attribute is lowered, and the other can be used when the state is lowered.

He felt a little ironic inexplicably.

"Forget it, get the decryption reward."

Annan sighed.

Be prepared to accept your own reward.

His "brilliant" element originally had a 63% awakening depth. In the nightmare of "The Great Hunt", Annan had already increased to 73%, and in terms of how much he could improve through element extraction, it had already reached 95%.

Accepting this now, Annan has officially crossed the 90% threshold. There is no need to pursue 100% awakening depth...because Annan can already fully extract the "radiant element" within a safe range. Even if you burn part of your soul for training, the rest can be filled up quickly.

The other four elements will then be pursued.

- "Wisdom", "Glory", "Beauty", "Strictness".

Counting the "brilliance" that has basically completed the awakening ahead of time, and the "frost" that was naturally mastered. These are the six elements that Annan mastered.

Only by perfectly clearing the distorted nightmare, can the awakening depth of the elements be improved stably and safely. Although the awakening depth of an element is not directly equal to the awakening rate, it can be regarded as "aptitude".

In other words, it is the awakening depth of the element "inherited" to the Nightmare Master. Of course, the premise is that you also have the qualifications for this part of the element... Otherwise, the relevant rewards will not be triggered.

This is one of the reasons why many extraordinary people suppress their state before advancing to gold.

In addition to looking for advancements and rituals that suit them, they are looking for distortion-level nightmares that adapt to them, to absorb the power of the elements of the nightmare master, and to enhance their awakening depth. Just like in the immortal cultivation simulator, if the Jindan level is not high enough, there is no hope of soaring.

At least more than 90% of the awakening depth, can we hope to complete the perfect crystallization of the elements without taking drugs. Of course, if they are truth-level superhumans or direct descendants of gods, then they are born with an element that is 100% awakened.

However, the first stage needs to be completed 90%?

So how did the second stage trigger...

Annan thought.

After he confirmed it, two traces crossed his eyes:

[Get dungeon decryption reward: Element (Brightness) awakening depth increased by 20%]

[Get the dungeon decryption reward: Curse "Heart of Sisyphus"]

"……what?"

Annan snorted lightly.

This is the second time he has received an additional spell in Nightmare.

...don't be Denton's last curse, right?

Annan glanced worriedly.

"..."

He was suddenly silent.

[Heart of Sisyphus (taboo type): You cannot despair because of failure. 】

[This curse is attached to itself, has no maintenance cost and is automatically triggered, and is automatically released after the conditions are met]

[Triggered when your arbitrary judgment fails three times in a row and you try to make a judgment again——]

[Before this judgment is successful, all abilities you apply to this judgment are temporarily +1]

[This curse can be triggered infinitely, but each time this curse is triggered, the erosion degree is +1; if it is triggered multiple times on the same judgment, the erosion degree will be added +2 when it is triggered for the second time, for a total of +3; At the second trigger, the erosion degree will be added +3, the total is +6, and so on]

[The last gift of a loser, and tribute - Denton]

Is this your... the last ripple?
