The two relics are the [Forest Elf] obtained in the first instance, and the Nameless Witch Relics acquired later in a Cycle Challenge dungeon world.
The former is now the core of her potion abilities, while the latter is currently the ability she uses to preemptively advance Seventh Rank hero units within her territory!
This promotion sees the [Forest Elf] advance further, reaching the eighth stage of the relic system, named [Spore].
The prompt on the panel only left the name of the new ability, with a very brief description.
However, this time the panel’s hint resolved a long-standing uncertainty for her.
[Infection: By mimicking a virus through spores, it can invade targets, modify target genes, rapidly transform organisms, and can bestow power no greater than the pharmacist level, affecting up to 81 targets]
"This time, it indeed provided actual figures...
I once wondered if my spores inherited the priority of my superpower, leading to a red rating. I didn’t expect that I accidentally created a low-tier version of a similar ability...
Previously the [Forest Elf] was advancing towards my own superpower, and now my superpower imitates this relic; these two are really quite similar...
But that’s reasonable; otherwise, I wouldn’t have felt a connection with this relic back then...
Saying so, if the [Forest Elf] suits me, then isn’t that [Chimera], which is similar to the [Forest Elf], also suitable?"
Now just recently promoted, she is not in a hurry and continues exploring the new abilities she has acquired. Discover more novels at novel•fire.net
Just like the superpower she sensed earlier, this infection ability is equivalent to her spore infection but stronger in effect.
This mainly manifested in priority; her original infection was a similar ability mimicked by weaving gene entries into spores, but now she has truly acquired the original version.
Even the priority has been synchronously elevated.
Although because relic priority is generally lower than normal abilities, it’s still difficult to infect in a hostile situation against Seventh Rank, but it’s unclear if a Seventh Rank actively accepts it, requiring time to verify.
The new abilities in the [Spore] stage are two in total, with infection being just one, and the second being passive, akin to a super evolution of the resurrection ability she previously borrowed from the Tree-man.
The thing that can be resurrected is no longer the Tree-man, but can be done through special spores, although it relatively requires more time.
Compared to these two abilities, more is her old ability enhancement!
However, she is somewhat surprised that this enhancement surprisingly doesn’t primarily focus on her Life aspect.
The strength of the promotion’s enhancement on Life capabilities isn’t relatively high, with the Life Aura’s range expansion reaching a selectable radius of 1 to 50 kilometers, other abilities also increased proportionally.
It mainly involves a significant expansion of range, not inferior to the progress of the Tier Five promotion, with the support of the Fungus Blanket, she can even extend the ability to any spot on this planet!
Only deserving of the Seventh Rank title but not strong.
The real enhancement is actually placed on her decay ability.
[Decay Cycle: Causes the target to fall into decay, converting the life value and durability value lost due to decay into spiritual power in equal proportion and nurturing life according to the conversion in territory]
This passive ability directly adds a new mechanism to her decay, turning it from a simple powerful damage ability into one with a certain vampiric function.
The current description of this ability is a bit strange; it’s because in the original version this was not its description, not to nurture Life.
Instead, it was to accelerate decay by attaching with spores and use the spiritual power obtained from decay to nurture spores, rapidly consuming the target, including but not limited to living and non-living entities.
It was because her superpowers mutually fused, combined with abilities like Life Weaving, it finally transformed into the current form, no longer restricted to spores but can nurture most plants including the Fungus Blanket.
This also greatly increases its effect on the enemy, using the enemy’s life value to create a helper.
It’s a pity that she’s not fighting now, so this ability is not as useful as the upgrades to her potion abilities!
But now she’s in no hurry to deal with the potions, and has another relic, which is now the source of the ability used to accelerate her subordinate hero unit’s breakthrough to Seventh Rank.
This promotion, as hoped, resulted in an upgrade cap reaching lv.80, and even the Seventh Rank breakthrough can be achieved using this superpower.
Moreover, the cost required to advance from Tier Six lv.60 to below Seventh Rank lv.70 has significantly decreased; an avatar only needs one week to allow a target to complete the upgrade and enter the Seventh Rank breakthrough state, much faster than before.
However, compared to Tier Six breakthrough, the spiritual power required for Seventh Rank is much greater, requiring an equivalent of a week’s accumulation of spiritual power to complete.
The hero breakthrough certificate originally exchanged is not entirely useless, at least saving a significant amount of spiritual power used for breakthrough, equivalent to several weekly promotions.
This relic’s ability is very simple; even with this advancement to Seventh Rank, there’s no change, seemingly just an increase in strength.
But for her, it’s enough.
After all, this time it’s merely utilizing the Seventh Rank promotion credentials for an early promotion, not the enhancement of her original superpower, being able to meet the Seventh Rank criteria is already satisfying.
