Handling the Death Orb, the Otherworldly Realization of Class Change
The [Cursed Knight]'s class information made Tang Zheng couldn't help but read it several times.
So strong!
Just by looking at the class introduction, Tang Zheng could feel the power of this class.
He knew that even classes of the same rank had their strengths and weaknesses, but he didn't expect the difference to be so great. Tang Zheng had always thought the passive effects of the [Magic Swordsman] were pretty good.
Especially "Mana Infusion," which could be applied to Alchemy and Scroll Production, among other things.
But compared to the passive "Curse Immunity" and "Dark Resistance I" in front of him...
This was a real passive!
Not to mention the negative status effects automatically attached to the class skills.
The only negative class penalty, "Restless," didn't seem to have much impact on Tang Zheng, since he didn't even have a decent piece of equipment.
On the soft bed.
Tang Zheng sat cross-legged, and as he moved his mind, a dark black curse energy emerged from his palm like a mist.
"Is this the power of the curse?"
Tang Zheng felt the palpitating energy in his palm, comparing it to the energy released by Renners.
The energy of the two was exactly the same, except that the curse energy in his hand looked deeper.
There were no difficulties in controlling it.
Tang Zheng could clearly feel the energy, as if it were an extension of his arm.
With a flash of thought.
The black mist curse dissipated directly, as if it had never appeared.
"I can completely control it freely, easily mobilizing it and retracting the energy."
Tang Zheng was thoughtful, subconsciously reaching out to touch his cheek, "And unlike Renners, my skin isn't rotting."
"So, the rotting of half of Renners' face shouldn't just be from the [Cursed Knight] class."
Tang Zheng recalled the information about Renners. The reason she was able to obtain the high-level [Cursed Knight] class was because during a sweep of the family's territory for monsters.
She was cursed by a special monster before it died, which caused her disfigurement and indirectly granted her the [Cursed Knight] class.
Special monster?
Tang Zheng's heart stirred with interest. Could he obtain this level of high-level class just by being cursed by a monster?
Renners was able to kill it at the time, so the monster couldn't have been very strong. Even the current Renners was at most at the Orichalcum Rank among adventurers.
There must be some special circumstances he didn't know about.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath. He felt that this matter might need to be investigated, perhaps leading to an incredible discovery.
"Now I can finally deal with this Magic Item." Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he whispered, "*Undying Spirit!*"
With a flash of Mana, he added a layer of will resistance to himself.
Tang Zheng reached out and grabbed the Death Orb from the void, appearing in his palm.
The next moment! "Human, what have you done?"
"Where have you put the great will of death!"
"This is not a cemetery, what is this place?"
"Death is eternal, only the dead are the ultimate destination of life!"
"Embrace death!"
"......"
"Do you want to be strong, to gain power?"
In an instant, noisy voices kept ringing in Tang Zheng's mind, making him feel as if a swarm of bees were buzzing in his ears.
Tang Zheng stared blankly, indifferently watching the Death Orb in his hand. After waiting for a moment, he found that the noisy sounds from the Death Orb showed no sign of stopping; on the contrary, they were getting louder and louder.
No effect?
Tang Zheng's already furrowed brows deepened even more.
According to the passive ability of the [Cursed Knight], it should have an effect on this Death Orb, but currently, there was no change.
Could it be—
Tang Zheng carefully examined the passive effect "Restless Spirit," and his eyes lit up.
Whoosh! Dark, cursed energy surged from Tang Zheng's body. The instant this energy came into contact with the Death Orb, the surface of the Death Orb instantly erupted with a black iron-like light.
"Ah—what is this!"
The consciousness of the Death Orb let out a sharp cry.
However.
Even though the Death Orb desperately emitted magical light to resist, under the effect of the power of curse, the black iron-like light rapidly melted away like summer snow.
Tang Zheng's heart stirred, and the power of curse immediately disappeared, and the power corroding the Death Orb also stopped.
"Just like the [Magic Swordsman], the passive characteristics of the class have indeed changed." Tang Zheng didn't care about the sharp voices in his mind, and his spirit was lifted.
He had carefully observed the information of the passive effect "Restless Spirit" just now, and there was a hint at the beginning: "When releasing curse abilities..."
After a brief experiment just now.
Tang Zheng had basically determined that this passive's negative characteristics would only activate when using curse abilities.
If he didn't use the power of curse, the negative characteristics wouldn't trigger.
Obviously, there was no such situation in the game!
Tang Zheng suddenly remembered Ulbert, one of the 41 Supreme Beings of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, who possessed the powerful annihilation-type magic class [World Disaster].
This class had a negative passive that doubled the Mana consumption of spells. This could not be changed in the game and was a class characteristic.
However, after Bone King transmigrated to another world, he mentioned after some verification that if Ulbert also transmigrated to this world, he could choose to automatically turn off such negative characteristics.
"Mana Infusion · Curse!"
Tang Zheng looked at the Death Orb in his hand, using the passive ability of the [Magic Swordsman] to directly infuse the power of curse into the Death Orb.
"Human!!!"
"Who are you..."
"How could there possibly be... a power stronger... than death in this world!"
The Death Orb continued to emit ear-piercing wails.
The next day, early morning.
Tang Zheng carefully withdrew the power of curse, looked at the black stone in his hand that had become inconspicuous, and breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Success."
...
Item: Magic Item · Special Craft · Death Orb
Rank: High-Tier (30~40Lv)
Effect: Energy Bar (0/280)
——Passive: Negative Energy Absorption: Can absorb negative attribute energy to restore the energy bar.
——Active: Bone Dragon Summon: Consumes 100 energy.
...
Re-identifying the "Death Orb," the information had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to before.
The energy bar value had decreased from the original 300 to 280.
The biggest change was that the original four passive characteristics and four active magic skills were all reduced to just one.
The item was still "High-Tier," but in Tang Zheng's view, the specific level had dropped by at least two ranks.
"This Magic Item specifically enhanced for necromantic casters has already plummeted in value to rock bottom."
"However, it's perfect for me."
Although he hadn't slept all night, Tang Zheng's spirit was unusually invigorated.
"Is it dawn?"
Tang Zheng turned his head to look out the window, put away the Death Orb, and got up to walk downstairs.
Someone was even more anxious than him.
When Tang Zheng arrived at the first-floor living room, he indeed saw Renners and Imina, who had been waiting for a long time.
The two were sitting on opposite sides of the sofa.
Renners maintained a kind smile on her face, but she was absent-minded.
Imina, on the other hand, had her arms crossed in front of her chest, leaning against the back of the sofa, occasionally glancing at Renners, her amber pupils revealing vigilance.
As Tang Zheng walked down the stairs, the two women immediately looked over.
Renners was even more quick to stand up from the sofa, looking at Tang Zheng with a complex emotion of expectation and fear of no result in her eyes.
Before Renners could take the initiative to speak.
"Two methods." Tang Zheng said directly as he walked downstairs.
