I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

However, he couldn’t stop just yet, after all, he was still a great distance away from reaching the Gold Level, let alone the Legendary Level.

The scenes of Legendary powerhouses battling like natural disasters that he remembered made Arsen’s emotions gradually stabilize.

After all, this was just a minor breakthrough on the path to becoming a stronger entity, and there was still a long journey ahead!

After a brief moment of pleasure, Arsen began to ponder over the enhancement of his Skills and specialties.

The first was the reward for clearing the secret realm "McGwire’s Death Tomb".

Killing McGwire and clearing the secret realm, he gained a total of 5 million Experience Points.

Because he defeated McGwire by using a clever trick, and the completion rate of the instance was relatively low, he didn’t receive the full Experience for clearing it.

But for Arsen, this was already the best result he had envisioned; being too greedy could have cost him his life.

It’s worth mentioning that the Talent "All-Purpose" bestowed an extra 1.5 million Experience on Arsen.

The terrifying aspect of Legendary Talents was gradually revealing its sharp edge.

Breaking through to the Silver Level cost him about 2 million Experience, and although the remaining Experience could raise his Level by about four levels, Arsen didn’t plan to invest it in Level advancement right now.

Having breached the major barrier of the Silver Level, the subsequent four to five Level advancements wouldn’t help Arsen’s strength significantly.

It was better to invest this Experience in enhancing various Skill Levels, especially since many of Arsen’s frequently used Skills were still at the pitiful Level 1 due to his early promotion to Silver.

So with the remaining Experience Points, Arsen intended to plan and emphasize the enhancement of Skills that currently benefited his strength.

Killing McGwire and passing through the secret realm also rewarded Arsen with several powerful specialties and Skills.

"Undead Slayer": As a hunter of Undead, you deal 20% more damage to Undead creatures and have a small chance of being immune to the negative Status effects they produce.

"Enemy of Undead": Having returned from among the Undead, they hate you but also fear you. Undead below your tier dare not appear before you, and you inflict an additional 30% damage to Undead creatures below the Legendary Level.

"Intermediate Undead Energy Resistance": You have a higher chance of being immune to the negative effects of Death Spirit Energy, and the damage from Undead Spells, Divine Arts, and Martial Arts against you is reduced by 20%.

Each of these Skills was quite potent, significantly strengthening Arsen’s ability to confront Undead creatures.

Especially the specialty "Undead Slayer", without the restrictions found in "Enemy of Undead", Arsen could be considered a natural predator of Witch Demons, spectres, and the like.

As for the Four Rings Magic Spells "Control Corpse" and "Fear Technique", they were just the icing on the cake, sparing Arsen some study time.

And about the Nine-Circle Spell "Death Finger" (1/3), in his past life, games always liked fragmenting things, but it was of no use to Arsen right now.

Even if he collected them all, he couldn’t use it now, so it had to be stored away in the system to gather dust.

Among the landmarks Arsen had achieved, "Golden Secret Realm Conqueror" was one that every player who cleared it would obtain, with the effect of dealing an additional 10% damage to creatures within Gold Level or lower secret realms, which was quite decent.

As for the hidden landmark "Incredible Miracle", Arsen had never obtained it in his past life, nor had he heard any player mention it.

"Incredible Miracle": No matter how you achieved it, completing the miracle of killing an enemy across two major tiers has ensured that your deeds will be sung by people everywhere, Luck Value +1.

This hidden milestone actually added a point to Lis’s Luck Value, an extremely rare and precious reward indeed!

But it made sense, defeating an enemy across two stages was simply too outrageous.

In his past life, even knowing the shortcut to clear McGwire’s Death Tomb, the lowest level required to pass was still Silver Level strength.

That said, if he hadn’t completed it this time, would he have needed to kill a Legendary Level enemy at the Silver Level?

Lis grumbled to himself and delightedly watched as his lowest Luck Value solidly turned into 4, becoming a Lucky one was just around the corner!

What remained was the capability he gained upon advancing to silver, most of which Lis was familiar with, not much different from his past life, and the most important were actually two.

Attribute completion and the "Extraordinary Magic" specialty.

Attribute completion was a second supplementation of Lis’s basic attributes after breaking through to silver, bridging the difference between one point and three points of attribute improvement per level, while also rewarding free attribute points.

The "Extraordinary Magic" specialty was a bit special, unlike the "Silver Rank Tier Bonus" that all Silver Level powerhouses would receive, Lis remembered that when he broke through to the Silver Level in his past life, he didn’t get this specialty.

Or rather, no player had ever received it, it had only been seen on main characters in the storyline or bosses.

The effect of "Extraordinary Magic" was quite powerful. Similar to other specialties like "Extraordinary Force," it not only provided a mana value bonus but primarily an extra damage bonus.

This effect alone widened the gap between players and storyline protagonists by a lot!

This was also why Lis felt he was already a Silver Level boss.

Finally, and most fundamentally for Lis’s power, the "Talent: All-Purpose" had a new enhancement, a transformation that might occur when a game character broke through a major tier.

Lis knew that some players’ talents had been upgraded from Silver Level to Gold Level through this opportunity, which was very rare.

But he never expected that his Legendary Talent could also be improved.

The extra experience bonus provided by the "All-Purpose" talent increased from 30% to 50%.

In addition, a new effect emerged, reducing the restriction for Lis to use extraordinary items.

Lis felt this effect probably involved lowering usage requirements.

For example, if the usage restriction of a piece of equipment was Player Level 100, under the effect of Lis’s "All-Purpose" talent, the level restriction might drop to 50.

However, these were all guesses by Lis, as he had never heard of any player’s talent having a similar effect in his past life.

After understanding the talent upgrade, Lis even had some alternative plans in mind, which he noted down, to experiment with when he had the chance.

Once all matters were sorted out, Lis walked back to camp with a spring in his step.

Seeing that Arsen, Ailina, and the others were all deep in sleep, Lis shook his head; it seemed they had a hard time in the tomb, as the commotion from his breakthrough hadn’t woken them.

After setting up warning spells around the camp, Lis dove into his tent, shook out the bundled-up blanket, picked up the still-slumbering Angel, flopped him onto a newly taken-out pillow, and then Lis himself collapsed on the blanket and fell into a deep sleep.

The excitement from the breakthrough to Silver Level gradually faded, and Lis, who hadn’t closed his eyes for two days, was finally able to get some much-deserved rest.
