Another god-tier skill: Demonic Burst!

"These hell fruits are targeting this King!"

Osirio was instantly enraged!

The skill it unlocked, Whistle, was not only merely Legendary-grade, it could only take effect on its subordinates…

Yet Grey Chicken had not only unlocked an Ancient-Grade skill, but it could also take effect on Grey Chicken itself, and even on all allied units.

Comparing them like this…

The difference was clear as day!

This caused Osirio's mental state to crumble slightly!

Facing Osirio's 'impotent rage', the beautiful Snake Woman Shamiya watched coldly from the side, while Grey Chicken held its head high, clearly feeling 'smug'.

"Shamiya, you give it a try."

Qin Feng tossed two hell fruits to Shamiya.

Shamiya nodded, her expression appearing very calm as she reached out her slender hands to grasp the hell fruits…

As those heart-like hell fruits transformed into purple-red energy and converged into her body, a system notification arrived!

——

【Skill from Hell: Demonic Burst (Ancient-Grade) — Divinity Special Skill. Consumes 45 points of the master's Divinity to cause energy from hell to erupt and surround an allied target. For a duration of 5 seconds, the Divinity cost of casting skills is halved, and all other costs are completely waived. Cooldown: 60 minutes.】

(Note 1: Resources that can be waived include 'Mana', 'Health', 'Experience', 'Shields', 'combo points', as well as proprietary resources of various special classes — Battle Qi, Fist Intent, Electrical Energy… and so on!)

(Note 2: If the rank of the skill or equipment consuming Divinity exceeds Ancient-Grade, the effect will be attenuated.)

——

"A god-tier skill, this is absolutely a god-tier skill!"

Qin Feng was directly shocked.

Although he was surprised that this was yet another support skill…

One had to admit, Shamiya's luck was truly somewhat heaven-defying.

Twice in a row, she had directly unlocked Ancient-Grade Divinity Special Skills!

"And this Demonic Burst skill…"

"It can provide a buff status to allies."

"Under the buff of Demonic Burst, using any skill that does not exceed Ancient-Grade will have its Divinity cost halved!"

"And all costs other than Divinity will be waived!"

To Qin Feng, both of these effects were extremely useful.

For an average player, just casting 'Demonic Burst' would consume 45 points of Divinity.

Although in the burst state, the cost of casting other Divinity Special Skills or divinity rules is halved, the overall reduction might not amount to much…

But it was different for Qin Feng.

After all, for Qin Feng, some skills and methods consumed far too much Divinity!

"Now, judging a middle-level NPC consumes nearly two thousand points of Divinity."

"Or using the White Sprout Blade to perform a Soul Harvest also consumes 1,200 points of Divinity."

"Even if I cast Frozen Calamity together with the elf Leng Che, it will consume all of my Divinity, which is 4,350 points."

"But!"

"As long as I have Shamiya give me a Demonic Burst first… the costs of all these methods will be reduced!"

Such a support skill…

Could be called a bug-level existence!

In the future, if there are skills that consume tens of thousands or even more Divinity, wouldn't using them with 'Demonic Burst' be the ultimate lifespan saver?

"However, I still need to test how much the Demonic Burst effect attenuates for high-rank skills and equipment."

Qin Feng intended to experiment.

He immediately had Shamiya cast 'Demonic Burst' on him once.

Then…

Qin Feng used the Blade of Judgment, attempting to adjust the rules of the minigame within the Judgment Land.

To adjust that rule, it originally would have consumed 10 points of Divinity.

But under the 'Demonic Burst' state, Qin Feng discovered…

This adjustment only required 8 points of Divinity.

"The cost was reduced by 20%."

"Does that mean…"

"If casting a skill not exceeding Ancient-Grade, the cost is reduced by 50%; if casting an Immortal-grade skill, the cost is reduced by 40%; if casting an Old Days Grade skill, the cost is reduced by 30%…"

"And finally, if it's a Primordial-Level skill, the cost is reduced by 20%?"

Qin Feng felt his speculation was quite reasonable.

Looking at it this way, although the effect on high-rank skills would attenuate, the overall effect was still very satisfying.

Take 'Frozen Calamity' for example; since Leng Che is a Primordial-Level Calamity Spirit, then this skill definitely belongs to the Primordial-Level as well.

In this case, if Frozen Calamity saves 20% Divinity, that would save 870 points of Divinity!

"Furthermore, in the Demonic Burst state, when I cast skills, even combo points won't be consumed."

"Doesn't that mean I can use Finishing Moves repeatedly at will?"

This was also a means that allowed Qin Feng to become even more flexible and free in combat.

Although the base duration of 'Demonic Burst' was only 5 seconds, when this buff was applied to Qin Feng, it could be extended to 62.1 seconds!

"Being long-lasting is indeed good!"

Qin Feng smiled.

And when Osirio and Grey Chicken both learned that Shamiya had unlocked another Ancient-Grade Divinity Special Skill…

Even though it was another support skill.

It still left this pair of 'Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix' somewhat disfigured by jealousy.

Grey Chicken doubted its life: "Brother Dragon, do we usually talk too much, and our talking has drained all our luck?"

Osirio: "This King doesn't believe it! Boss, two more, let me reroll my skills again!"

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow: "How about you just unlock a new skill and keep that Whistle skill? Consider it looking out for your subordinates."

Osirio: "No, I won't!"

Qin Feng threw two more hell fruits to it.

Osirio used them again…

A second later, this bone-white Bone Sword Wyvern King, which was originally majestic, suddenly became completely listless.

Qin Feng looked at the skill it had rolled and was speechless.

The original 'Whistle' skill had turned into 'Hellish Arrogance'.

This 'Hellish Arrogance' was also a Legendary-grade skill; when facing a target whose comprehensive combat power was lower than its own, it would gain a 50% damage boost against them.

So here was the problem.

The opponent's comprehensive combat power is already lower, so what's the point of this 50% damage boost?

"Hahaha, what kind of 'bully the weak' skill is this?"

Upon learning that Osirio had unlocked such a skill, Grey Chicken couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But soon, when it was its turn to unlock, it couldn't laugh anymore.

It used 3 hell fruits this time to unlock a third hell skill, and as a result, it unlocked a Legendary-grade Self-destruct skill…

"Huh???"

"Does I, Chicken Bro, look like a terrorist?"

Grey Chicken was also furious!

Qin Feng offered an opinion: "Actually, this skill might really be useful sometimes? Although the damage isn't high, you can Self-destruct. You know, sometimes people want to Self-destruct but can't."

Grey Chicken: "???"

Qin Feng ignored the pair of 'Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix' who were questioning their lives…

He glanced into the Greedy Space and saw there were 4 hell fruits left, so he gave three of them to Shamiya.

"Try again and see if you can unlock any more heaven-defying god-tier skills?"

At this moment, Qin Feng had become incomparably expectant of Shamiya.
