Power.
Unprecedented power gradually fused into his body. Soren stood still, his figure seemingly becoming hazy, as the surrounding shadows enveloped him, distorting the entire space’s image. The power of shadows permeated the area, and the twisted shadows surged towards Soren’s body like a tide, making him feel as if he were in another space, as if he were merely a shadow. His real body had long since left the Material Plane and had entered another world.
Everything gradually vanished, and Soren’s figure returned to its original state.
A series of data appeared:
“Shadow Class has reached level 7.”
“Gained 32 (Agility 26 + (Intelligence 22 – 10) * 0.5) skill points; Health increased by 14 (Class Health 8 + (Constitution 22 – 10) * 0.5).”
“You have gained a free attribute point.”
………………
“Shadow Class has reached level 8.”
“Gained 32 (Agility 26 + (Intelligence 22 – 10) * 0.5) skill points; Health increased by 14 (Class Health 8 + (Constitution 22 – 10) * 0.5).”
“You have gained a specialty point.”
“Ascend to Legend!”
“You have gained an additional specialty point.”
“Wanderer’s total profession level increased to 15; you have automatically mastered the specialty [Shadow Control]!”
“Shadow Class level increased to 7; you have automatically mastered the specialty [Mental Agility]!”
“Breakthrough the critical point.”
“Specialty [Instinctive Evasion] upgraded to [Mastery of Instinctive Evasion]!”
“Breakthrough the critical point.”
“Specialty [Reflex Evasion] upgraded to [Mastery of Reflex Evasion]!”
………………
Finally entering the Legendary Domain.
Soren slowly opened his eyes, glancing at the gigantic spider corpse in front of him, then turned to look behind.
The little girl was sitting on a rock, tilting her head while watching him, her expression showing a hint of surprise, but just a bit. Upon seeing Soren turn to look at her, she couldn’t help but smile and said, “Congratulations!”
“It seems you’ve ascended to legend! But for you humans, the process of ascending to legend is a bit troublesome, compared to us dragons who just need to fill our bellies and take a nice nap to become legends.”
Dragons.
The gap between the two species is enormous; only dragons can leisurely ascend to the Legendary Domain by sleeping.
Soren’s accumulated killing experience had long since approached the critical point.
After he killed the toxic spider in front of him, he finally gathered enough killing experience to ascend to legend, so he chose to do so without hesitation.
A series of data appeared again:
“Ascend to Legend.”
“You have obtained partial information about the legendary specialty [Shadow Plane].”
“You have obtained partial information about the legendary ability [Shadow Step].”
………………
Ascend to legend does not mean one can directly master legendary abilities. Many legendary abilities require a significant amount of time to train, but after Soren entered the Legendary Domain, he had a clear advantage: the specialty points he gained could directly enhance legendary specialties. This is why he had waited so long; from now on, every specialty point would become exceptionally valuable because the specialty points gained after entering legend can directly strengthen legendary abilities. (Note: Wizard profession gained specialty points cannot be used to enhance wanderer specialties.)
For the second time, he obtained information about [Shadow Plane].
Soren only needed to obtain the final piece of information about the Shadow Plane to master this legendary ability.
Qualitative change finally occurred due to quantitative change!
The moment Soren broke through to the Legendary Domain, the combat ability of the Wanderer received comprehensive enhancement. However, because he also took on the role of a wizard, some of the legendary abilities of the Wanderer could not yet be mastered. (Note: This is also the reason for only having two pieces of information about the [Shadow Plane].)
The enhancement of ascending to legend was astonishing.
In addition to gaining new specialty abilities, the abilities Soren originally mastered were also strengthened.
Shadow Leap [100 meters] — Shadow Leap [200 meters].
Shadow Travel [1 time] — Shadow Travel [2 times].
Instinctive Evasion — Mastery of Instinctive Evasion.
Reflex Evasion — Mastery of Reflex Evasion.
………………
Soren had accumulated a lot of time on his evasion abilities. The accumulation through countless battles finally erupted at the moment he ascended to legend, and the two types of evasion specialties he mastered were both enhanced.
“Mastery of Instinctive Evasion [Supernatural Specialty]: From now on, you possess an incredible ability to intuitively predict any possible attacks directed at you. Other wanderers will find it difficult to ambush you, unless their profession level is more than 4 levels higher than yours; otherwise, you will easily perceive their intentions and ignore enemy ambushes.” (Note: This specialty is effective against ambushes of any profession!)
Mastery of Instinctive Evasion.
As long as he has this specialty to protect him, Soren can basically ignore others’ ambushes from now on.
Only a legendary wanderer with a profession level above 25 could potentially ambush Soren. As for other professionals, it is basically impossible for them to ambush him. (Note: This ability is often used to replace [Sixth Sense].)
“Mastery of Reflex Evasion [Special Ability]: From now on, your reflex abilities will become more refined; for any attacks directed at you, you can make high-difficulty reflex evasion checks. As long as you pass the reflex check, the damage you take will be greatly reduced, including area spells; you can rely on your amazing reflex abilities to evade most of the damage.” (Note: After dodging area spells, you will take at most half damage.)
Mastery of Reflex Evasion.
The wanderer’s signature skill, also a lifesaving specialty to avoid being directly taken down by a wizard’s AOE.
As long as he mastered this specialty, all area spells could be subjected to reflex evasion checks. With Soren’s current base attributes, dodging the core area of an attack was not difficult. From now on, whether it’s Fireball Spell or Ice Storm, even if Soren is directly covered by it, the damage he takes will be greatly reduced.
Furthermore, these two types of evasion specialties stack. The probability of physical attacks hitting Soren is also very low!
Speaking of evasion ability.
It is essential to tally the evasion-enhancing specialties Soren currently possesses: Flexible Movement, Rolling Evasion, Mastery of Reflex Evasion, Mastery of Instinctive Evasion.
A total of four evasion specialties!
………………
Lastly.
There’s the Wanderer class talent specialty [Mental Agility].
“Mental Agility [Supernatural Ability]: From now on, if you are affected by charm, confusion, or illusion-type spells, you will gain an additional opportunity to succeed on a saving throw. Even if your first saving throw fails, you will not be affected by the spell because your agile mind has generated a supernatural mind energy that allows you to make a second saving throw. If the second saving throw fails, you will not gain immunity to the spell’s effects.”
Extreme enhancement.
Soren, who originally had an innate advantage against charm-type control spells, could now be said to be basically immune to such spell attacks; even legendary wizards might not be able to charm or confuse him.
From now on.
Soren can basically ignore the effects of spells like ‘Confusion’ or ‘Mislead.’
………………
——————————
“It’s nearly formed.”
Soren looked at his data page and thought to himself: “Evasion ability has been stacked to the limit; beyond this is only legendary specialties.”
“The saving throw against charm and confusion-type spells is also sufficient; he doesn’t have to worry much about being controlled by enemies.”
Two specialty points.
For the two specialty points gained from ascending to the Legendary Domain, Soren found himself hesitating.
Legendary specialties.
Most legendary specialties have prerequisite conditions, including base attributes, prerequisite specialties mastered, and basic abilities mastered, etc. To obtain the specialty [Legendary Dual Wielding], one basically cannot achieve it without having the prerequisite Dual Wielding specialty. Since Soren had just ascended to the Legendary Domain, some of the specialty abilities were still incomplete, so the legendary specialties he could master were quite limited.
The most eye-catching legendary specialty!
Was not even his main specialty, but rather a warrior class legendary specialty [Epic Strength]!
Jiong.
Due to prioritizing survival capabilities, Soren’s constitution had never been low, and he now directly obtained the prerequisites to master the legendary specialty [Epic Strength].
Currently, the legendary specialties he could choose from are:
“Epic Strength [Legendary Specialty]: Your constitution has ascended to the realm beyond mortals. From now on, you can further enhance your body to become as strong as half a dragon, your vitality will be greatly enhanced, and most attacks will not trigger a d*ath check against you. This ability can be enhanced up to 10 times, with each enhancement adding an extra 30 health points.” (Note: Prerequisites: 20 constitution, Strong specialty, maximum extra health points increased by 300.)
Top-tier meat shield specialty.
Increasing vitality to extreme levels beyond that of a divine avatar saint, but unfortunately, Soren has very little demand for this legendary specialty.
“Legendary Evasion [Legendary Specialty]: Your evasion ability has transformed into an instinct; even if you do not perceive the presence of enemies, your body’s instinct is enough to evade enemy damage. From now on, any physical attack aimed at you will definitely allow you to evade one instance of damage from the opponent; this ability can be triggered up to once per minute. This specialty is a passive ability.” (Note: Prerequisites: 25 agility, Flexible Movement, Reflex Evasion, Instinctive Evasion, Rolling Evasion.)
Legendary Evasion.
From now on, any physical attack trying to hit Soren will not be so easy; the evasion ability of the legendary wanderer has surpassed that of most professionals.
Regarding this legendary specialty, there were testing conducted previously.
A legendary monk, a legendary barbarian, and a legendary ranger attacked simultaneously. The damage they inflicted, which should have hit the target every minute, strangely missed due to Soren’s instinctive evasion. In other words, if a certain profession can only effectively hit the target once in a minute, then no matter how long the battle continues, they will be unable to inflict any damage to the target.
Legendary Evasion stacks with any evasion-type specialties.
Then.
Is the last activated legendary specialty.
“Legendary Combat Skill [Legendary Specialty]: From now on, your combat skills have reached the pinnacle; fighting has become an instinct for you. Any attack roll you make will receive an additional +1 legendary bonus, allowing your combat instinct to make it easier to unleash your peak power; this ability is a prerequisite for other legendary specialties.” (Note: No prerequisites.)
The only legendary specialty without prerequisite demands.
But it is a prerequisite for [Insight of Weakness]; to master the legendary specialty [Insight of Weakness], one must first master the ability of [Legendary Combat Skill].
There are many types of legendary specialties.
Because of Soren’s focus, he has only triggered a small portion of them.
Choosing [Legendary Evasion] is undoubtedly the right path for Soren; the [Insight of Weakness] is also something he must have, so his choices are almost determined.
Legendary Evasion and Legendary Combat Skill!
