Chapter 88 The Mighty Devil's Gold
The force was extremely violent, like a volcanic eruption. Wherever it passed, it was like lava flowing, making William's whole body turn red. He could only hunch over on the ground to alleviate the pain.
After the brutal force rampaged through his body twice, before it gradually disappeared. William, who slowly sat up, was already drenched in sweat, his lips bitten and bleeding, filling his mouth with a metallic taste.
William took a sip of water. The cold liquid sliding into his body made him feel a bit better.
'Something seems strange?' William thought.
William moved his right arm, holding the water bottle. His injury had healed.
He jumped around, finding the injuries from that day had all recovered.
Previously, William had never consumed the Treasure of the Sheep because Dreadram was rare even in the Land of Death. Many Dreadrams had evolved into high-level mutant creatures with tough skin and fast speed, making them very difficult to kill.
Humans had few opportunities to obtain the Treasure of the Sheep. With William's status in his previous life, even if they did, he wouldn't have gotten any.
Moreover, the Treasure of the Sheep was more effective for those with lower evolution levels. Strong individuals above Five-Stars rarely went after Dreadrams because the Treasure of the Sheep did not affect them.
But now, William was a One-Star Evolver. The one he consumed was from a Second-Level Dreadram, so the effect was naturally excellent.
With his body recovered, his physique improved a bit. William casually tested his strength and felt it was nearly eight to nine times that of an average person.
Besides these obvious changes, William also discovered that his mental power had significantly increased.
Previously, William estimated his mental power to be over two hundred points. This time, it had risen to over three hundred points, approaching three hundred and fifty!
Due to having two professions, William's mental power was always insufficient. He often lost control of his body due to mental exhaustion. Now, with such a significant increase in cognitive power, this issue was greatly alleviated.
Moreover, William possessed the basic coagulation and arousal spell, whose power and duration were calculated based on the summoning medium and mental power expended. The increase in mental power indirectly enhanced this skill, allowing William to control its use during battles based on the situation.
The Treasure of the Sheep brought about three changes in his body, making William quite happy. As for the legendary special abilities that the Treasure of the Sheep could grant, which he didn't experience, he didn't mind. William understood that miraculous things often happened in the apocalypse, but not every one of them would happen to you.
With his body recovering and mental power increasing, William felt full of energy as he worked. He stored the Dreadram skin, Ape-Turtle Croc eggs, hiking potion formula, golden cloth, Career Promotion Scroll, Hellhound summoning card, and man-eating plant seeds in the space crystal. The only thing left in William's hand was the Devil's Gold.
Such a large piece couldn't be used all at once. William thought for a moment and decided to use the Gathering and Refining spell to process the Devil's Gold since his mental power was sufficient.
This glorious craftsman profession skill, which consumed a lot of mental power, was indeed powerful. After consuming more than half of his mental energy, the Devil's Gold was divided into a hundred portions as William desired!
This made William fantasize that if he had a billion points of mental power, he could touch the Devil's Gold chains on the Chain Prisoner, and all the Devil's Gold would be his.
William glanced at the gloomy sky outside and decided to stop dreaming.
William decided to test the effect of Devil's Gold by using one hundred portions, each weighing about 0.02 pounds.
For the experiment, he used one portion which was 0.02 pounds of Devil's Gold. If the artisans from his previous life knew, they would definitely scold William, as Devil's Gold was usually used in portions of 0.002 pounds.
But since William had plenty now, he didn't care about wasting it.
Under the puzzled gazes of others, William ran to a secluded street outside. He found a car and used the forging spell.
With a flash of light, the car turned into a viscous liquid. Under the catalysis of William's last Second-Level Magic Crystal, it constantly changed shape. William added the Devil's Gold and the bone needle from Ant General's talent and skill in a timely manner to enhance additional attributes. Moments later, similar to the Edge of the Moon in William's hand, a silver long knife appeared before him.
William was relieved. Fortunately, it succeeded. He always felt uneasy about the fifty percent failure rate.
Item prompt, "Edge of the Moon: Base Sharpness 20. Attribute 1: Strength +10. Attribute 2: Penetration +10."
Additional prompt, "Devil's Gold additional skill, the Light of Full Strength: When the user swings the weapon with full force, a blade light with a sharpness increase of 5 and a length one-third of the blade appears."
William trembled, almost dropping the Edge of the Moon.
The last time he forged the Edge of the Moon, he was quite satisfied with the final attributes due to the inclusion of the previous white machete as a template with a base sharpness of 10, base toughness of 5, and additional characteristics of sharpness 10 and strength 3.
The previous Edge of the Moon was already a weapon capable of contending with second-level or even third-level evolved creatures.
But with the addition of Devil's Gold, this time's forging resulted in an astonishingly good and brand-new Edge of the Moon!
The inclusion of Devil's Gold not only increased the fixed base sharpness on the pattern to 20 but also, through two additional attributes, increased Strength and Penetration to a terrifying 10.
This number might seem small, but William had a deep understanding of its effectiveness. Not to mention the penetration's effect on sharpness, just the strength +10 attribute alone was enough to double the power of a single strike when William used this knife.
The bone needle from the Second-Level Purple Cloud Ant General might have played a role, but William believed the decisive factor was still the Devil's Gold!
The most unbelievable part was the additional skill from the Devil's Gold, the knife light! This was a professional skill that blade masters would only obtain after reaching the master level! It was a mark of whether a close-combat profession had reached an extremely high level!
Professions had to go through stages like apprentice, beginner, intermediate, and advanced. In the apocalypse, the vast majority of survivors' profession levels were concentrated in this stage. Above this process were the master, mentor, and extraordinary levels, which were extremely rare.
Survivors usually refer to those who have reached the extraordinary level as 'divine.' A Divine Swordsman referred to an extraordinary-level blade master, and a Divine Craftsman referred to an extraordinary-level craftsman.
Other professions were similar. Since the master and mentor levels were closest to the extraordinary level, people also habitually called them sub-divine levels.
Master-level close-combat professions would gain the professional skill of sharp light, becoming a mark of the sub-divine level.
The additional skill from the Devil's Gold was the Light of Full Strength, which excited William!
The power of the Light of Full Strength wasn't as strong as that of sub-divine and divine professionals, but the additional sharpness of 5 made the blade light's sharpness alone reached 25! With the penetration of 10, William felt he could cut through the skin of a Forth-Level Chain Prisoner!
Devil's Gold was indeed incredibly powerful!
