[HP and Mana increased by 500. Attack and defense increased by 50 points. Strength and agility increased by 50 points.”]

The System’s prompts flashed before Jiang Cheng’s eyes.

Suddenly, blood-red flames surged upwards from his empty eye sockets, their color even more vivid than before.

His vision began to change, and the surrounding scene of black holes appeared before Jiang Cheng’s eyes.

After confirming that there was no danger around, he carefully examined the changes in his body.

Now his entire skeleton, once dark gray, had turned blood red, as if emerging fresh from a mountain of corpses, intimidating to behold.

Upon closer inspection, wisps of blood fire, barely visible to the naked eye, clung to the surface of his bones.

Sharp spikes protruded from the joints of his hands and feet.

The Bone Blade Steel Sword in his hand, previously metallic, has turned blood-red.

On the blade, there emanated a chilling and sinister aura, akin to the blood flames on his body, with traces of blood flames clinging to the surface of the blade.

But most surprising was the appearance of a blood-red cloak draped across his shoulder blades.

This was no ordinary cloak – it seemed to have grown directly from his skeletal frame, as if it were a part of his body.

Jiang Cheng wasn’t sure of the purpose of this cloak.

Experimentally, he gave the cloak a slight shake, and instantly, the Blood Hell Sword in his hand disappeared!

With another shake of the cloak, the weapon reappeared in his hand, wreathed in blood flames.

“This cloak…it’s a sheath?” Jiang Cheng’s heart leaped with excitement.

This unexpected sheath could catch anyone off guard; who would suspect a cape to produce a weapon?

If he were to suddenly draw a weapon from it, it could surely startle an opponent, making it difficult for them to defend in time.

“I wonder, can it hold bone arrows too?”

Picking up a bone arrow from the ground, he slipped it into the cloak. Sure enough, the arrow disappeared from his hand!

“This makes things much easier.”

Previously, using the Assault Armor was troublesome because Bone Powder couldn’t be carried around. Using it in bow form was the most problematic.

Each time, he needed to convert Bone Powder into bone arrows in advance, storing them in his rib cage, with a maximum of 20 at a time.

Whenever he used them, his skeleton would look like it had been pierced by a thousand arrows – an utterly ridiculous sight.

A Silly Cutie had covered her mouth to stifle giggles on several occasions because of it.

Now this problem was perfectly solved!

“Let’s check out my attributes.”

【Blood Frenzy】

Skill Quality: Rare

Skill Effect: Upon use, increases attack power by 30% and attack speed by 30% for 30 minutes.

【Crimson Sevenfold Slaughter】

Skill Quality: Rare

Skill Effect: Passive effect, 5% chance to trigger a fatal blow, taking 0.1% of the opponent’s total current health.

“Overall, my stats are about 5 times higher than a Level 14 player fully geared in Legendary equipment!”

“And two Rare-Grade skills.” Jiang Cheng felt delighted.

At this stage, these attributes were definitely leagues ahead of other players.

Coupled with so many skills, it was truly heaven-defying.

Though Blood Frenzy didn’t provide high increases in attack and speed, it could stack with Swift Slash and be further enhanced with Evolution Points!

Crimson Sevenfold Slaughter, on the other hand, was a super skill for killing bosses!

True bosses had HP ten times higher than Elite monsters, and no matter how high your attack was, it would still take a long time to defeat them.

Like when he used to solo the ultimate boss, despite being among the top ten in attack power across the server, it still took over two hours.

With Crimson Sevenfold Slaughter though, he could definitely cut that down to one hour!

Though it’s only 0.1%, with the HP of ultimate bosses measured in the billions, it’s absolutely devastating!

Other special bosses like dungeon, guild, challenge, and world bosses all had HP in the billions too.

This skill might not have much impact early on, but in the late game, it would be the ultimate trump card!

“Now, let’s see how much my sword has improved.” Jiang Cheng turned his attention to the attributes of his Blood Hell Sword.
