Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 35 Combat Skills and Prayer

Lucia understood that the dragon's blood inheritance that was hidden behind the bronze door in the depths of his soul had been engraved in his memory, and the two nebulae on the top of the stars were the concrete form of the inheritance.

He tried to concentrate his thoughts on the nebula according to the method he used when he summoned the two stars representing himself and Samuel, and the knowledge it carried suddenly turned into pieces of bright text light curtains under the combing of the memory battlefield in the night sky.

His father, Platon Sanks, is the dragon king in charge of the war power of the ancient dragon dynasty. His virtual image nebula not only records all the combat skills of the ancient dragon family, but also includes the most orthodox combat skills inheritance of the ancient storm dynasty.

The latter originally originated from the imitation of the ancient dragon's combat skills by humans in the Storm Dynasty. After hundreds of years of development and evolution, it gradually formed its own unique style and advantages, and became the object of reference for the Dragon Clan.To this day, the combat techniques used by the ancient dragon and flying dragon warriors in the human form and half-dragon form still contain many traces of the storm combat technique, but because they have physical fitness far superior to that of humans, they are also different in the use of combat techniques. It looks more extreme and violent.

Whenever Lucia concentrates on observing a small rune, the corresponding dragon-shaped or human-shaped phantom will immediately condense in the memory battlefield, repeating every detail in the process of releasing the combat skills with flowing movements, together with The matching breathing rhythm, exertion skills, and even the mental state that needs to be maintained are all displayed in the form of a light curtain at the same time.

It just so happens that Lucia possesses extremely powerful spiritual power under this starry sky, and can easily grasp the most critical details of this knowledge, and can roughly master a combat technique with just a few simple repetitions.

Of course, he can only roughly master it through this method - combat skills are the killing skills that soldiers have honed in countless battles. Without actual combat polishing, even if the knowledge is mastered proficiently, it will be difficult to go further. , truly realized the essence of combat skills.

After briefly trying several combat techniques, Lucia temporarily stopped and turned his gaze to the core of Nebula.

Different from the basic content recorded on those single runes, Platon Sanks' dragon heart, dragon wings, dragon scales, dragon claws, and dragon tail each contain an extremely powerful royal combat technique. Composite of obscure and profound rune arrays, just a casual glance is enough to feel the scalp-numbing difficulty of these five combat techniques, and correspondingly, there are various shocking effects in the records——

[Dragon King's Body: It is divided into nine levels, with the heart as the core, melting the ancient dragon's innate blood power and physical power into one furnace, tempering the power of blood that is not inferior to divine power and magic power, and at the same time extremely Significantly and permanently strengthen the caster's physique. 】

Permanent reinforcement?Lucia froze there at first glance.

According to his understanding of the major skill systems of the junction in his past and present lives, any ability that can "greatly" enhance a certain ability of the caster generally has a strict time limit, and some of them also have some additional negative effects.

Take the Golden Tree Prayer, which is famous for its various extraordinary buff effects, for example, although the golden vow in reality is not only a few dozen seconds old like in the previous life, but even the most powerful caster is powerless to make this kind of prayer The level increase prayer is always on the body.

And under the two lines of text woven by flowing light, there is a short and domineering note.

[Today's limiter - Platon Shanks, ninth rank. 】

"Of all the ancient dragon royal families throughout the ages, only my father has reached the ninth rank. It's really difficult!" Lucia sighed, and by analogy, he read the records of the other four royal clan's combat skills.

[Wings of the Void: There are nine levels in total, the highest speed achieved by the ancient dragon family tempered by storm and frost. The caster in the extreme state is enough to escape into the cracks of time and space, so that the law of time imposed on oneself can achieve a certain meaning stagnation on. 】

[Today's limiter - Platon Shanks, ninth rank. 】

[The Immortal Scale: There are nine levels in total, the strongest defense achieved by the ancient dragon family after tempering the dragon scales with lava and flames, accompanied by a strong self-recovery ability. 】

[Today's limiter-Platon Shanks, eighth level; Fur Sanks, eighth level. 】

[Claw of Destruction: There are nine levels in total, the powerful attack released by the ancient dragon family with the ultimate thunder power, and at the same time boosted by the power of blood and divine power, the power is strong enough to destroy all obstacles in the world. 】

[Today's limiter-Platon Shanks, eighth level; Lance Shanks, eighth level. 】

After reading this, Lucia suddenly thought viciously, what would happen if the indestructible Destruction Claw was used to deal with the indestructible Indestructible Scale?
He thought about it for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that according to the ecological niches of Sister Lance and her younger brother Furshanks, the power of the Claw of Destruction is definitely above the Scale of Immortality!

He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, put these messy thoughts aside, and looked at the last royal combat technique——

[Boundless Tail; divided into nine levels, the first high priest of the Sky Temple, Gulan Shanks, created the magical skills with reference to the half-god body of the Dragon King. It was born out of the furnace and has even more power. After training, the dragon body can be extended and changed at will. , greatly and permanently improving the speed, agility, and dexterity of the caster. 】

[Today's limiter: Gulan Shanks, rank nine. 】

"Refer to the body of the Dragon King's demigod?" Lucia mused, "Father's five-headed dragon body is really different from other ancient dragons, is it because he is the first ancient dragon born from the furnace of life?"

In the epics handed down from generation to generation by Fam Yazra, the ancient dragon king Platon Shanks is the supreme and most powerful pioneer and conqueror, the first and strongest ancient Elden king, everywhere in the sky city It can be seen that the sculptures and murals depicting the glorious deeds of the Dragon King, and the flying dragon warriors and storm knights are also keen to wear ancient king amulets made with reference to the image of the Dragon King. The face of the Dragon King was not completely reproduced, but the image of the four-headed dragon body was made.

"In this way, the high priest's body size far surpassing that of other royal families should also be the effect of Infinite Tail." He thought.

Not long ago, he witnessed the rock-solid defense system of the outer city of Rodel. If it wasn't for the fact that Gulan Shanks had reached the peak in the cultivation of the Infinity Tail, so much so that he could change the dragon's body into that kind of unreasonable It is impossible to become the only existence in history who captured the city wall of the Golden King's capital.

On the other side, the virtual image nebula of mother Helaris records all the prayers of the ancient dragon family.

Among the many prayers, the thunder power that Gu Long is most proud of is the core, and it also covers the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire. Around the body, the soul-stirring power is released in the circulation of starlight.

Legend has it that the dragon god Helaris was born from the pious belief of countless ancient dragons. He is the leader and protector of the best and the most virtuous, and the ancient god who is in charge of the original ring and the original law.Different from father's five royal family battle skills, the thousands of prayers of the five element elements are all in the mother's name in the item of "today's limiter", without any exception.

When Lucia first saw it, he felt his head was as big as a bucket. Not to mention the number of prayers compared with the previous life, even compared with the combat skills on the left, it can be said to be in sharp contrast, not to mention that most of them involve various exquisite divine power skills, complex At first glance, the degree is far above those simple and crude combat skills.

After studying patiently for a period of time, he found that many prayers of the same elemental power lead to the same goal by different routes. As long as he masters the basic laws of the operation of divine power, most of them can be understood by analogy. Much simpler.

As for the world-famous moves like Sister Lance's "Thunder Knife" and Fur Sanks' "Thunder Gun", they are basically just the most convenient way for them to use the power of thunder after they have mastered the power of thunder.

At this point, Lucia already has a good understanding of the contents of the Dragon Blood inheritance, and then only needs to select a few items to start formal training.

However, there is the last part of his mother's virtual image nebula that he can't decipher—it is at the position of her eyes, and a more profound rune is depicted in the icy blue starlight. Looking at the two nebulae, only this one The rune was not recorded in his innate blood memory.

"The runes on other parts of Nebula already include all the combat skills and prayers of our clan, so what else can be recorded in that rune?"

For a while, he had a lot of conjectures, but due to the lack of more information to support, he could only give up for the time being, and planned to make a copy later and show it to Sister Lance.

However, he didn't expect too much about it. Sister Lance is more than 600 years old this year, and she is not as good as some older Gu Long elders. This kind of content that cannot be understood by his blood must only be active The elder dragon leaders before the Forbidden War were capable of reading.

But now there are only two ancient dragons with that qualification—one is the father who lives in the gap between time and space, and the other is the "Mother of Flying Dragons" Guior who fell in Gelid. In the deep sleep, there must be no hope in the short term.

He let out a sigh of relief, determined not to care so much, and first raised his own combat power to a higher level.

After careful consideration, he finally decided to start cultivating the Dragon King's Body and the Claw of Destruction first. For prayer, he naturally chose the Thunder Power, which is the most lethal among the five elements.

As an ancient dragon and demigod, his body is filled with the supreme blood of the Dragon King and Dragon God. Although he is far from a mature body, his speed and agility are no less than that of a dragon in a half-dragon or even a full-dragon state. Most heroes are strong.

As for the super defensive power of the Immortal Scale, it is very fragrant, but he now has the defense base of the ancient dragon scale, and has a life attribute of up to 40 points, which is not just needed for the time being.On the contrary, it is absolute strength and attack power that are currently his biggest weak link.

According to his experience of dozens of duels with Samuel, as long as he doesn't carelessly get face-faced by the black flame prayer, it is very difficult for the opponent to hack himself to death in half-dragon form—but the reverse is different. His low-level ancient dragon combat skills and storm sword skills can't even break through the defense of the god-skin shirt, and it's even more difficult to get close if he encounters the noble aura.

When he upgrades these two pieces, even if he is far from being Samuel's opponent, he can at least get more analysis progress in each confrontation. He also wants to see what benefits will be gained after reaching 20% ​​of the analysis nodes Woolen cloth.

After a lot of tossing, Lucia was exhausted physically and mentally, but he still pulled himself together and carefully studied the cultivation methods of these skills for a long time. After he could repeat them accurately, he quit the battlefield of memory and lay on his back on the ground of the quiet room Go, relax and fall asleep.

　ps.1. Regarding how many heads the Dragon King has, according to the text and appearance of the ancient king amulet, there should be only four. According to the unpacked model, there are three fractures except for the two intact heads, but it is not sure that they are all heads-this article is based on handsome Considering setting it as a five-headed dragon, the setting of the ancient king amulet was also changed accordingly.Of course, the color of the Dragon King is also the same. According to the performance effect of the boss battle, it should be a gray-black color in a withered state, so in order to match the setting of the Dragon God, it is set to pure black. There will be other black colors in Sky City in the future. There is no difference between the ancient dragon and the white dragon in terms of blood.

　　2. Regarding Gryor, the "Mother of Flying Dragons" refers to the ancestor of all flying dragons in this article, because the high-ranking flying dragons such as Gürel and Aegis are all set to be strong people who can transform into shapes and whose blood is close to that of ancient dragons, so Gryauer Er directly set it as an ancient dragon, and the flying dragon can be understood as her descendant.The flying dragon warriors in this article refer to the mid-level flying dragons that can transform into shapes. As for the later "little dragon descendants without eternal life", they are those low-ranking flying dragons that have bred n generations of weak blood.
