Arcane Journey

Chapter 23 Psion



Chapter 23 Psion
"its mine!"

A gnoll in ragged clothes snatched a high-quality cloak from another gnoll, clutched it tightly, and roared in the vulgar common tongue of the Underdark.

It has the head of a coyote, with greedy green eyes, and a gray-red mane extending from the top of the head to the back. It looks like a large coyote walking upright.

"mine!"

Another gnoll with a bloody mouth roared, "I bit off his thigh."

"No, it should belong to me!"

The third gnoll who lost one ear felt that he was being ignored, so he threw away the half-gnawed bone in his hand angrily, and growled dissatisfiedly: "I smashed his head with a stone, I did it!" !"

The unequally divided gnolls wrestled together, screaming, and tore back and forth with their yellow teeth and claws, tearing the cloak into a pile of rags.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, a sword light flickered in the shadow of the cave.

The gnoll who was missing ears jerked forward, and the pieces of cloth and jewels he had snatched slipped from his bloodstained fingertips bit by bit.

It lowered its head with difficulty, looked at the sharp sword protruding from its chest that was dripping blood, and with a 'plop', it lay dead on the ground whimpering.

Seeing the death of their companion, the remaining two gnolls were stunned, staring at the hunter who appeared from the darkness in shock and fear.

He raised his head, his black hair was hidden under the hood of the magic cloak, and a terrible smile appeared on his sharp-edged face.

The two jackals screamed in unison, scrambling to escape the nightmare in front of them.

The hunter in the dark came at him, swinging his sword.

in a blink.

The two fleeing gnolls became the dead souls of his sword, and the fluorescence of evil life faded from their eyes until they became as cold and dark as stone.

A neat battle ended, Brian sheathed his sword, shook his head and shook off his hood, and began to inspect the small cave.

He saw that it was a drow warrior killed by the gnoll.

Judging from the badly worn short boots and rusty chain mail shirt, this should be a wandering elf who was accidentally blocked by three gnolls in a small cave and unfortunately lost his life.

With a wave of his hand, Brian unceremoniously pocketed the scattered money and three black jade gemstones.

Money is never too much for him who is poor.

As for gems, they are in short supply.

Although each of these three low-level gemstones is worth at most five gold coins, they are the best casting materials for the caster to release shadow spells.

After picking up the loot, he piled the four corpses together, muttered a spell, and burned them to ashes.

After finishing it, Brian waved his hand and used simple tricks to clean up the garbage, smell and gunpowder smoke in this hidden and small cave.

Then he took out a piece of gemstone and silver thread from his pocket, and simply arranged an illusion and a guard for hiding at the entrance of the cave.

After everything was ready, he stretched out his finger contentedly, and the entire dark and oppressive cave was enveloped by a soft light.

It has been two days since I left from the portal of the spider wizard.

As he expected, the portal was not as accurate as he had imagined.

Therefore, based on his knowledge of the surrounding terrain in his memory, he finally came to the familiar Fansi trail on the second day without any danger.

However, he did not explore the ruins of the Netheril period for the first time.

In the distant surface world, beasts kill for food and territory in order to survive.

But the monsters haunting the dark labyrinth of the Underdark region are not slaughtered for survival, because survival itself is a kind of ordeal for them.

They are driven to kill for a variety of reasons, madness, hatred, and the vicious out-of-control leyline radiation that etches every stone.

They kill, more like because only in the killing, can they get relief.

It was this atmosphere full of killing and danger that made his two-day adventure not as easy as he imagined.

Therefore, he must find a hidden cave to take a good rest.

Because besides recovering the psionic energy and arcane energy he consumed through meditation, he also had one more important thing to do.

After all, the relics of the Netheril period were not something anyone could dare to venture into easily, so he naturally had to make adequate preparations.

Thinking of this, Brian immediately sat on a rock, called up his attribute bar, and began to upgrade his level.

"Increase the professional level of the psion."

"Consume 1300 experience points."

"The Psychic profession has been upgraded to level 2."

"Acquiring Domain Abilities: The Creator's Call."

"Acquired power points: 4 points, extra power points: 2 points."

……

"Increase the professional level of the psion."

"Consume 3900 experience points."

"The Psychic profession has been upgraded to level 3."

"Acquire secondary powers: Psychic Restoration, Shockwave."

"Acquired power points: 5 points, extra power points: 2 points."

……

"Increase the professional level of the psion."

"Consume 7800 experience points."

"The Psychic profession has been upgraded to level 4."

"Get 1 free attribute value."

"Gain 1 point of psionic feat."

"Acquired power points: 6 points, extra power points: 2 points."

……

After three levels of improvement in a row, Brian immediately felt a surge of life energy spread throughout his body. The stiffness and soreness of his body immediately disappeared without a trace, and even his spirit returned to a stable and satisfied state.

Obviously, every time his level increases, his life energy—that is, the so-called health value (HP)—will also increase accordingly.

Although he didn't show it with detailed data, he could clearly feel this improvement.

Then, he directly added the extra 1 attribute point he got to his intelligence attribute.

This is the main attribute of his battle mage profession and psion, and it determines all aspects of his abilities.

Such precious attribute points are naturally added to the most critical attributes.

With a little attribute improvement, his intelligence attribute smoothly reached the critical point of 20 points.

For him, there will be a qualitative breakthrough for the intelligence attribute of 19 points and 20 points.

Because for a spellcaster, every time his main attribute increases by 2 points, his own spell slots and spell damage will be additionally increased.

Just like it is now.

The moment when the intelligence attribute increases to 20 points.

His extra psionic energy value increased by 2 points, and the battle mage profession gained an additional first-level spell slot, and the arcane power of his arcane fire also got an increase of 7 points.

Of course, the damage of all his own magic and psionic energy will also be significantly improved when released.

Bryan set his sights on a newly acquired property of the creative field.

Creator's Call: When a psion who is proficient in the creation department concentrates on displaying the ability of the creation department, the duration of the ability is increased by 30%, and his own psi crystal servants and astral constructs will gain an additional special ability.

Psicrystal minions and astral constructs.

This is the most representative ectoplasmic ability construction as a psion of the creation department.

With a thought of Brian, a dark blue crystal the size of a fist appeared in his hand.

Although due to time constraints, it is impossible to spend a lot of time to extract the same amount of materials from the astral world to make astral constructs, but the astral crystals used to make psi crystal servants do not need much, and now he has collected them together.

His purpose of hiding here, apart from improving the Psion level, is actually the main reason for making his own psi crystal servants.
