#277 - Chapter 277: Reckoning and Frenzy
In the shocked gaze of the Fallen Angel Liz, Wu Wei finally completed his third sacrificial ritual.
And upon the abyssal altar before him, there appeared two skill books made of unknown leather.
These two books were placed on the altar in a relatively symmetrical manner, one on the left and one on the right.
The cover of one of the books was black-gray, and on its cover were carved countless hands pulling upwards.
It was as if these hands were holding something extremely important and lifting it upwards.
The cover of the other book was reddish-brown.
However, there were no patterns on the cover of this skill book, as if it had been soaked in blood for years.
Wu Wei stepped forward and picked up the two books.
[You have obtained a new Priest skill book – Fallen Zealotry!]
[You have obtained a new Priest skill book – Putrid Reckoning!]
——————————
[Fallen Zealotry: Active Skill]
[Skill Cost: One soul]
[Skill Effect: After obliterating an innocent soul, the owner of this skill can artificially create a widespread atmosphere of zealotry among all Abyssal Priests. Any Abyssal Priest (including Abyssal Apprentice Priests) who falls into this atmosphere of zealotry will have their skill effects and range doubled.]
[Putrid Reckoning: Active Skill]
[Skill Effect: The owner of this skill can perform a five-minute chant. After the chant is completed, the skill caster can actively ignite a large area with abyssal aura for thirty minutes. All enemies in this area will be scorched by the abyssal aura beneath their feet, and each creature that is burned to death will permanently increase the damage and range of the 'Putrid Reckoning' skill with their soul.]
[Base Damage of Putrid Reckoning: 10 points per second]
[Base Area of Putrid Reckoning: 1 square kilometer]
[Note: The burning abyssal aura will not harm demons or fallen followers, but it will not benefit them either.]
[Note: This effect can be stacked infinitely!]
[Note: The damage of this skill will not conflict with the Black Sun series equipment!]

"Not bad!"
"Just what I wanted!"
When Wu Wei saw these two skills, his eyes lit up immediately, and he learned them without hesitation.
The two empty slots below his attribute bar were immediately filled with these two new Abyssal Priest skills.
It must be said that these two skills really met Wu Wei's expectations.
Although only Putrid Reckoning is a damage skill among these two active skills,
Putrid Reckoning is an active skill with unlimited growth potential.
As long as Wu Wei releases this skill in a key position on the battlefield, his growth rate will be very fast.
More importantly, the active skill Fallen Zealotry can also directly increase the skill damage and range of Putrid Reckoning.
Therefore, these two active skills together perfectly meet Wu Wei's needs.
Because Wu Wei once said that he wanted "powerful" and "dominant" Abyssal Priest skills.
Thinking of this, Wu Wei felt very satisfied with the results of this sacrifice.
However, after seeing the two new skills that Wu Wei possessed, the Fallen Angel Liz once again gave Wu Wei a new suggestion.
"Lord, now that you have the Fallen Zealotry skill, shouldn't you consider expanding the number of Abyssal Priests?"
"In the previous period, I found hundreds of good Abyssal Priest candidates."
"Although more than 99% of them cannot withstand the cost of contacting the Abyssal Will,"
"If all goes well, two or three of them will still become Abyssal Priests."
Hearing Liz's suggestion, Wu Wei also thought it was a good idea.
You know, since he established his territory, his army has lacked the priest class.
Although he himself is an Abyssal Priest, considering Wu Wei's special nature, he rarely goes to the battlefield himself.
So in fact, Wu Wei's army has always been in a state of not having priests.
And the importance of priests is actually at the top level of the army in many worlds.
Whether an army can fight tough battles and win battles is greatly related to the strength and number of accompanying priests.
Because most Abyssal Priests, in addition to providing the most reliable healing, can also provide enhancement abilities that mages and alchemists cannot provide.
Some of these enhancements are the simplest and most direct enhancement skills, such as weapon blessing skills.
And some enhancements are mobilization of thought and will, such as religious zealotry.
Therefore, priests are in an important position in many armies....
"Okay, I also think expanding the number of Abyssal Priests is a good idea."
Wu Wei nodded, agreeing with the Fallen Angel Liz's view.
"But don't rush this matter."
"Because I have only sacrificed half of all the treasures."
"Let me finish this abyssal sacrifice first, and then we'll talk about the Abyssal Priests."
After speaking, Wu Wei began the subsequent sacrificial process.
However, this time, Wu Wei clearly understood the Abyssal Mother's way of thinking better than last time.
So, this time, his sacrifice was also simpler and more direct.
"Ahem, this time I already have exclusive equipment and skills for Abyssal Priests, but these equipment and skills are too biased towards offense, so this time, I want some life-saving equipment!"
"That, great Abyssal Will, you should understand what I mean, right~"
Wu Wei "winked" at the black-red vortex above his head.
After speaking, the new sacrifice began.....
