YM778.TV Chapter 41: Visitor
Graphical reiteration!
There was once again a clear requirement for graphical reiteration to upgrade protection from evil from novice level to competent.
[Yes/No Consume 10 points of Satiety, 1 point of Excitement of Feeding to upgrade Protection from Evil (Advanced Beginner → Competent)?]
[Judgement of Graphical Reiteration does not reach the required proficiency level. Skills can not be improved!]
“I need to have a higher skill level in graphical reiteration?”
“The advanced beginner level of graphical reiteration has already allowed me to interpret protection from evil. Logically speaking, I only need to improve protection from evil itself.”
“Yet now, a higher level of graphical reiteration is required…”
“Is it because the competency level of protection from evil will have some sort of changes?”
Jason’s eyes flashed as he guessed.
He did not reject the idea of raising the level of graphical reiteration.
Even in his original plan, after maxing out the satiety he could use to upgrade protection from evil, he was planning to use the remaining satiety to upgrade graphical reiteration.
This just meant he would bring forward his plan.
[Yes/No Consume 5 points of Satiety and improve Graphical Reiteration (Advanced Beginner → Competent)?]
“Yes!”
Jason gave an absolute answer.
[Graphical Reiteration (Passive) (Competent): Graphical Reiteration is an ancient language that only spread amongst secret organizations and mysterious forces. According to rumors, it will be produced through corresponding combinations in conjunction with rituals and gives unbelievable effects, but these are a little far away from you now. Although you can skillfully read and master a lot of rare words, you may want to build “Mystery” with these, and you are still far from it.]
More and more complex knowledge emerged with the improvements made to graphical reiteration.
It took a few seconds for Jason to come back to his senses slightly.
In the moment after returning to his senses, his mind could not comprehend the knowledge he had acquired, with the graphical reiteration that had been recorded on the sheepskin he had previously obtained.
This was a completely subconscious act.
But even then, Jason was still just as stunned.
It was not that he could not understand the strange words that had been written on it.
He already knew enough about these words.
What caused him to be in a daze was the above.
It was… a ritual of a secret technique!
A secret technique abbreviated in the rolled sheepskin. Just by reading a corner of the sheepskin, he could create a dense fog with a radius of 25 meters, and in the dense fog, obtain a concealment and speed bonus.
Jason was still unsure about how the mysterious ritual of the secret technique had been created, but the contents of the text were absolute.
To confirm this again, Jason took out the rolled sheepskin.
[Discover secret technique “Obscuring Mist”!]
[Judgement of Graphical Reiteration (Competent), You can read the scroll.]
[Judgement of Graphical Reiteration has not yet reached the required proficiency level. You cannot consume 5 points of satiety to learn the technique!]
The text in front of him appeared when Jason’s finger touched the scroll.
After Jason realized this, he reacted.
“It didn’t appear before because the requirements for the basic reading were not met.”
“Now that I have met the basic requirements for reading, I still need to be proficient to know the real meaning and learn it quickly!”
Jason subconsciously looked at the requirements for upgrading graphical reiteration to a Proficient level.
“10 points of satiety, 1 point of excitement of feeding…”
Looking at such requirements, Jason was a little shocked, because, with his current points in satiety and excitement of feeding, he could fully meet the requirements to reach Proficient level in graphical reiteration, and subsequently learn the mysterious Obscuring Mist.
But immediately, Jason shook his head.
To be called a secret technique, Obscuring Mist must naturally be a very good skill.
But if you compared it to protection from evil, at this point in time, protection from evil was of much higher importance to Jason.
After all…
The Moon Mask Club was right around the corner!
The nightmare that happened at the Moon Mask Club determined the final result.
He clicked again on protection from evil and Jason chose to level it up.
There was a warm rush in his stomach.
In that familiar light, it meant that protection from evil sl oT Yn graphical reiteration appeared once again.
However, the next second, another graphical reiteration appeared: “I”.
As if it were branding, this graphical reiteration appeared on the second line.
It formed a new curse marker:
‘I
He paused for a moment and the newly formed curse was imprinted on the walls of Jason’s heart once again.
Then, the competency level for protection from evil appeared in front of Jason.
[Protection from Evil (Competent): You have mastered this cursed secret technique. It is enough to ensure that you will not be the target of malicious attacks most of the time, but you still need to spend a lot of physical energy to be able to induce it. Also, as part of the inheritance of the night watchman, a certain night watchman made some changes to the technique you received. Effects: 1, a special force field attached to the surface of the body, it will not only defend against attacks of monster below the bullet level, but you can also expel them and the power they carry (below bullet level); 2, you can target the power of expelling evil to creatures or items within three meters of your center as one long-ranged attack.]
(Note 1: When you have sunflower or pollen, it will be easier for you to complete the spell and increase the range of 0.3 meters.)
(Note 2: There is no fixed time for the completion of the gesture, and it will depend on your hand speed.)
(Note 3: When your physical strength is not sufficient, the reflected move will backfire. However, the effects of defense and protection from evil still exist.)
Everything was like Jason had guessed. After reaching Competent for protection from evil, it had undergone a new change.
From the basic need of contact to an additional long-ranged attack.
For Jason, it not only represented an abundance of attack methods but also more of his safety when facing these weird creatures.
In fact, Jason didn’t want anything other than to not see these weird creatures in his life.
But he knew it was impossible.
Therefore, he could only do his best to improve himself.
“Below the bullet level…”
“Not enough!”
“It is only enough when it has reached at least the bomb level!”
Recalling the earlier fight with Herke in the afternoon, after comparing, Jason thought about this silently.
It was very clear that only when he had reached Grade of Explosive that he could truly protect himself or even fight back.
But, in the short term, this would definitely not be possible.
Looking at the remaining two points of satiety, protection from evil required a whopping 15 points of satiety and 2 points of excitement of feeding to upgrade to the level of Proficient.
Jason could not help but sigh.
Although he wanted it, he didn’t know how long it would take for him to reach the level of satiety and excitement of feeding required to reach the Proficient level for protection from evil.
Jason knew that, after the battle in the afternoon, it was impossible to get so much satiety and excitement of feeding. It was almost impossible.
Unless another beast tamer appeared.
But…
Was that actually possible?
Jason thought. He heard from footsteps from the corridor in his ears.
The footsteps were very foreign.
The footsteps were very light.
Their rhythm was neither fast nor slow.
The owner of the footsteps did not stop in the hallway and seemed to be heading straight to his room.
In the next moment…
The other party had stopped and was standing in front of his door.
Jason raised his shotgun slightly.
His muzzle…
Was aimed at the door.
