Having more of the same type is useless.
At this moment, he saw the familiar portrait of the White Dragon Mage, Aiel, and couldnât help but be slightly surprised: "Huh? Is this the portrait of that White Dragon Mage?"
"Thereâs still a slight difference, the face has turned pale, just like a corpse!"
Suddenly, Raineâs eyes lit up.
"Wait, the White Dragon Mageâs icon? Is it possible that after resurrection, the other party can once again contribute a piece of the incomplete White Dragon Bloodline to me?"
"If thatâs possible, then itâs certainly a tremendous fortune."
In an instant, Raine somewhat regretted killing the Necromancer, Magiller.
This was a researcher type talent!
However, after focusing his attention on the White Dragon Mageâs icon for a few seconds, he sighed.
"Alas~ it seems I didnât kill him in vain."
"Headless Mage!"
Not only were the words "White Dragon" gone, but when Raine just carefully reviewed the Bloodline Talent and Spell-like Abilities of the Headless Mage, it was basically the usual âBone Shieldâ, âRay of Enfeeblementâ, etc.
Completely unattractive.
His plan to gain a second incomplete White Dragon Bloodline was dashed.
However, Raine hadnât hoped for much, so naturally, he wasnât too disappointed.
He then shifted his gaze to other slots.
"Why isnât there an icon for the Necromancer, Magiller?" Raine frowned slightly.
"Thatâs not right, heâs a person, not a monster!"
Soon, Raine figured out the reason.
The opponent was a Necromancer, a human, just mastering necromancy spells.
Unless the opponent was a Lich, then a kill could yield a considerable harvest.
However, Raine didnât feel too regretful.
After all, he only had four bloodline slots in total, even if he had to reserve one for boss-level bloodlines like the Wild Boar Chief, Lamusta, who led thousands of Wild Boar People, the other three should also preferably be boss-level.
He had thought about this before.
Besides, the reputation of Necromancers on the Valzeg Continent was quite poor.
Even if he could cast necromancy, Raine needed to keep a low profile, otherwise, he could easily become a pariah.
And when Raineâs gaze fell on the next slot, he became immediately interested.
"Huh? Is this the female Drow Mage?"
He saw a rather beautiful icon of a female Drow Elf, wearing a high-slit mage robe, appear in Raineâs sight.
"Is this the one who ambushed me and Meredith... seems to be called... Veronica?"
Although Veronica was eventually killed by him, Raine was well aware of her formidable strength.
Not to mention anything else, being able to beat the Wild Boar Chief, Lamusta, into such a state clearly indicated some sort of trump card.
This made Raine instantly wide awake, and he began to inspect with great interest.
A few minutes later.
Raineâs smile was hard to suppress.
The full name of this icon was âDrow Elite Female Mageâ, with only two Bloodline Talents, but both extremely practical.
The first was âElf Lineageâ.
Elf Lineage Level 2, effects: Mid-level resistance to charm and sleep, basic resistance to spiritual magic.
The second was âInnate Spellcastingâ.
Innate Spellcasting Level 1, effects: Intelligence +3, the speed of learning any magic increases by 10%, all tricks require no casting materials.
Just the âIntelligence +3â alone surpassed the previously monstrous skill âIce Crystal Mindâ of the Counter-attacking Ice Spirit with Intelligence +2.
Moreover, the Spell-like Abilities included an astonishing nine types.
Ranking from high to low, the first was a Fifth Level SpellâDeath Cloud Spell.
Death Cloud Spell Level 1, effect: At a designated point within a 50-meter radius around you, generate a 10-meter diameter cloud of yellow-green poisonous death cloud.
"So thatâs how those injuries happened to the Wild Boar Chief, Lamusta..."
This immediately clarified for Raine how the Wild Boar Chief had been severely wounded.
Veronica had cast the Fifth Level Spell, Death Cloud Spell, at that time.
Even Lamusta, with a formidable constitution, was severely injured by the power of the Fifth Level Spell!
Next came two strong Fourth Level Spells: âBlack Tentaclesâ and âHigh-level Invisibility Spellâ.
Black Tentacles lv1, Effect: You summon a deep-sea giant tentacle within a 50-meter radius to entangle or knock away enemies.
High-level Invisibility Spell lv1, Effect: You or a friendly target can enter a high-level invisible state, further shielding the transmission of sound and smell.
âNo wonder that when I was ambushed, my sensitive smell didnât detect anything.â Raine mused after reading the last half of the sentence.
The next spell made Raine even happier, having a unique effect in many scenarios, a functional spell, Third Level SpellâFlying Spell.
Flying Spell lv1, Effect: You or a friendly target can temporarily gain the ability to fly, lasting 10 minutes.
(Note: Flying speed is approximately the speed of an ordinary pigeon.)
As for other Second Level and First Level Spells such as Spider Web Spell lv2, Witchcraft Arrow lv2, Shield Spell lv2, Magic Missile lv3, and Mage Armor lv3, they are quite practical too.
"I feel like Iâve just taken a step to the heavens!" Raine grinned.
After thinking it over, Raine replaced the âCounter-attacking Ice Spiritâ icon in the bloodline column with the âDrow Elite Mageâ icon.
A cool sensation instantly flowed through his mind.
The intelligence also rose from the original [Intelligence: 12 (+1.4)]â[Intelligence: 12 (+3)].
And the icons placed in the four bloodline columns were: Deadwater Wild Boarman Lord Bloodline Ă1, Adult White Dragon Bloodline (Fragmentary 1/10) Ă1, Gray Dwarves Combat Priest Bloodline Ă1, Drow Elite Mage Ă1.
"Hmm, not bad! From the perspective of combat power, this should now be the top 4 new bloodlines." Raine nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the bloodline column.
"Hmm, thereâs more?" Raine suddenly discovered another row of brains below.
Unlike in the real appearance of a Mind Flayer, where the brain and four claws have a different ratio, the iconâs pattern showed a disproportionately larger brain, which inexplicably added a comedic touch.
Minutes later, the corners of Raineâs mouth were already curling into a smile.
Although the Mind Flayerâs Challenge Level is not high, they are quite similar to Shapeshifters, possessing special effects in some circumstances.
The bloodline talent is a singular one, yet notably remarkable.
Strange Bloodline lv1, Effect: Grants basic resistance to all magic, bludgeoning, and piercing damage.
(Note: As Mind Flayersâ top strange creation, its bloodline is unique yet stable.)
There are four types of spell-like abilities, and apart from Mind Spike, the others were encountered by Raine for the first time.
Detect Intelligence lv1, Effect: Detect and locate intelligent creatures within a 50-meter radius.
(Note: Intelligent creatures are defined as having an Intelligence of no less than 3 points.)
(Note: Creatures with a mental barrier cannot be detected.)
Mind Spike lv2, Effect: You can release an invisible spike composed of spiritual energy on a single target within a 30-meter radius. If the targetâs mental strength is relatively weak, it will cause dizziness, stupor, or even dementia.
(Note: Duration and effect are influenced by the mental strength of the target.)
Devour Brain lv1, Effect: You can attempt to devour the brain of an intelligent creature within two meters. If successful, you can choose to steal the body or devour directly.
(Note: The victory is determined by the result of both partiesâ intelligence confrontation.)
(Note: If the opponent prevails, you will endure dizziness, severe pain, and other counterattacks, and within thirty minutes, you cannot attempt another devouring.)
Body Theft lv1, Effect: You can enter the opponentâs brain and, while retaining all your spells and knowledge, acquire the things known by the opponent. The longer you stay, the more you know.
(Note: This spell can only be selectively cast after successfully devouring a brain.)
(Note: Your body will be unable to move while casting this spell.)
(Note: This spell can be cast only once on a specified target.)
After pondering, Raine first discarded all the Ghoul bloodlines, kept one âChain Abominationâ, and directly discarded the Undead Warlock, while fusing the four Mind Flayer bloodlines.
After some operations, the âF4â bloodline column for Raine was now: Deadwater Wild Boarman Lord Bloodline Ă1, Adult White Dragon Bloodline (Fragmentary 1/10) Ă1, Gray Dwarves Combat Priest Bloodline Ă1, Drow Elite Mage Ă1.
In the sixteen-slot pack, the remaining icons totaled eight items: Elite Mind Flayer Ă1, Chain Abomination Bloodline Ă1, Bloodline of Counter-attacking Ice Spirit Ă1, Shapeshifter Bloodline Ă1, Frost Blade Leopard Bloodline Ă1, Deep Moss Spider Bloodline Ă1, Giant Bloodsucking Bat Leader Bloodline Ă1, Flame-Enhanced Earth Goblin Bloodline Ă1.
Looking at the above icons, Raine nodded with satisfaction.
The ones retained, though not high tier, would have good utility in certain special situations.
Even the last oneââFlame-Enhanced Earth Goblin Bloodlineâ, Raine would never admit it was because of the âHigh-speed Reproduction lv4â that made him look at it with different eyes.
Hmm!
After all, thereâs also âDagger Mastery lv1â and âSword Mastery lv1â...
