Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 4 "Judgment"

The learning of "Summoning Abyss Beast" gave Luo Xiu a shot of reassurance.

This skill is the key skill for the first level of the [Abyss] destiny, and it is also the last skill before advancing to the second level of transcendence.

However, to complete the summoning ceremony, a key medium is currently missing.

This key medium can only be obtained in the subsequent battle with the blood disciples.

Luo Xiu was not in a hurry. As he had mastered the key skills, he only needed to quietly wait for the inevitable battle...

Then, what Luo Xiu had to do next was very clear—

He is making final preparations before the battle!

First, prepare your weapons for battle!
Luo Xiu closed the Book of Abyss and cast his eyes on the weapons, props and materials scattered around.

"That should be enough..." Luo Xiu murmured.

Although Luo Xiu had not yet truly entered the realm of transcendence at this time, having mastered the "Inscription of Glory" and the "Inscription of the Abyss", he was already able to make the most basic transcendental weapons.

Both of these extraordinary skills are the skills of expressing one's own extraordinary spirituality in the form of "engraving" and preserving it.

The "light attribute" of the "Inscription of Glory" is more friendly and controllable than the "dark attribute" of the abyss.

Therefore, Luo Xiu prepared to make a preliminary attempt with "Glorious Inscription".

Luo Xiu first took a bottle of mana potion to restore his mana bar to full value, and then picked up the black steel dagger.

The dark blade of the dagger reflects a matte metallic luster under the dim light. If you are hiding in a dark environment, it is even difficult to detect the shape of the dagger.

But the reason why Luo Xiu bought this dagger was not simply to use it as a weapon.

A silver-gray light flashed, and the dagger drew a semi-arc in the air. Luo Xiu changed the dagger from forehand to inverted holding, and with his other hand he grabbed a short musket from the side and pressed it under his palm.

At this moment, the dagger can still be used as a crude carving knife...

It’s not that I can’t afford a carving knife, but a dagger is more cost-effective!
"——Glorious Inscription."

The knowledge and skills of "Glorious Inscription" began to emerge in Luo Xiu's mind.

The dagger held upside down in Luo Xiu's right hand, and the weapon base that was about to be engraved in his left hand - "Exquisite single-shot short musket", at this moment were like an extension of Luo Xiu's arms, connected to his soul.

There was a fluctuation of light and darkness in his mind, and in that instant, Luo Xiu seemed to be able to feel some kind of warm and sacred energy flowing in his body, which had now gathered on the blade of the dagger in his right hand.

At the same time, a single-shot short musket magnified several times appeared in Luo Xiu's mind.

However, the appearance of this short musket was obviously different from the one in front of Luo Xiu—the golden patterns were not complicated, and were entangled with each other on the surface of the musket in his mind.

Luo Xiu tried to imitate and use the dagger to carve the same patterns on the surface of the musket in his mind.

Although it was his first time holding a dagger, Luo Xiu seemed to have some proficiency in using one-handed weapons, which allowed the lines he carved to remain straight without too much deviation.

……

Time passed little by little as Luo Xiu was carving.

About half an hour later, Luo Xiu straightened his body and wiped the slightly sweaty sweat from his forehead.

"Complete."

The musket in my mind suddenly disappeared, and the short musket in front of me had completed the engraving work.

At the moment the engraving was completed, the golden lines on the musket suddenly emitted a dazzling luster, indicating the success of the glorious engraving.

[You have completed the production of an extraordinary weapon (gray poor quality)]

[Manufacturing (Ordinary) Proficiency +1, you gain 108 basic experience points...]

At the same time, the weapon panel of the enchanted short musket popped up in front of Luo Xiu.

[Equipment Name: Judgment (Gray Rough)]

[Equipment type: Fire gun/Extraordinary weapon]

[Equipment efficiency: reload capacity 1, single shot/instant shot, reload time 10s]

[Equipment bonus: Strength attribute +3, Agility attribute -1]

[Equipment requirements: any level 5 destiny, strength attribute 10+, divinity attribute +] [Equipment characteristics list]

[Judgment Shot (Active Skill): The fired ammunition can cause "holy light" attribute damage, the damage value is 150~200% of physical attack + 100~150% of spell attack, the upper limit of damage is 100 points, ignoring defense reduction. When hitting the "vital point", the damage judgment is doubled. ]

[Poor Quality (Passive Trigger): Poorly made weapons, damage judgment reduced by 10%. After three attack judgments, the weapon will be destroyed. ]

[Durability: 3/3]

[Note: It is crude, but still an extraordinary weapon that cannot be ignored.]

【Producer: Ross Durant】

Luo Xiu looked at it carefully for a while. As a novice's first work, being able to successfully produce a truly extraordinary weapon in one go was already beyond Luo Xiu's expectations.

Although it was of "poor" quality, it was completely sufficient for Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu did some calculations in his mind.

My current attributes meet the equipment requirements of "Judgment (Poor)". After obtaining the +3 strength attribute addition, my physical attack can reach 16 points.

According to calculations, Luo Xiu's "Judgment Shot" can cause 38 to 54 points of "Holy Light Damage". If he is lucky, he can even kill himself in an instant.

"It feels... okay."

Luo Xiu murmured.

After resting for a while and waiting for his energy to recover a little, Luo Xiu pulled out the second exquisite short musket.

Luo Xiu followed the same method and finished the second "Judgment (Gray and Rough)" half an hour later.

[You have completed the production of an extraordinary weapon (gray crude)]

[Manufacturing (ordinary) proficiency +1, you gain 98 basic experience points...]

Completing the production of extraordinary weapons can also gain experience points. At this time, Luo Xiu’s experience points can be upgraded again.

But Luo Xiu was not in a hurry to use up these experience points, because when killing enemies of higher levels and ranks, the greater the gap between himself and the enemy, the greater the killing reward he could get.

Anyway, the level can be upgraded at any time, so pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, or pretending to be a rookie is also part of the plan!

……

After putting the two "Judgments" into the package, Luo Xiu's eyes swept across the two gray wolf skins on the side.

This is the carrier prepared for the "Abyss" skill - "Summoning Abyss Beasts", and it is also the fundamental guarantee for the perfect solution to this blood invasion incident.

The "silver forged sheet" in the material is a pre-prepared inscription, and the "copper forged ring" is used as a packaging object.

Luo Xiu planned to complete the first half of "Summoning the Abyss Beast" first.

Just like when he was making "Judgment", Luo Xiu was meditating on "Abyss Engraving" in his mind.

The shape of the gray wolf skin after "engraving" appeared in his mind, and Luo Xiu began to pinch the silver forging pieces to draw patterns on the wolf skin.

As the thought came to his mind, the silver piece resonated with Luo Xiu's spirit and became as smooth as mercury in his hands.

He applied the softened silver flakes onto the wolf skin and reproduced the patterns that appeared in his mind. After a long time, the patterns on both gray wolf skins were completed.

[Prop name: Etched wolf skin (semi-finished product)]

[Prop type: material/super material]

[Item Effect: An item engraved with extraordinary skills, the specific effect is unknown...]

After checking that everything was correct, Luo Xiu rolled up the wolf skin like a scroll, put them into the package, and put on the copper ring.

Everything was ready, and it was almost dusk outside the window.

When midnight falls, two blood disciples will sneak in from outside the town, and the being behind them - the "Blood Lord" of Thorn Blood - will observe everything they see through the eyes of these two blood disciples.

After thinking for a while, Luo Xiu took the package and headed towards the path that the two blood disciples must pass.

He would set an ambush in advance and wait for the enemy to fall into his trap.
