Heroes' Prison

Chapter 596 - 571: Divine-level Class Scroll

After level 100, the new skills learned decreased, mostly involving upgrades to previously learned skills to add extra effects. For example, Huang Yi’s skill at level 105 was an upgrade to the earlier learned "Rage Absorption," and the level 125 skill was an upgrade to the previously learned "Net of Justice." Even the new skill "Anti-Reconnaissance" learned at level 115 was just a passive skill, not an active one, offering limited help in combat.

Therefore, sacrificing the next five skills to use this scroll was a very cost-effective decision.

Huang Yi hesitated no longer, unsure if this opportunity would come around again—it was time to act. He immediately pinched the string and gently pulled, unfolding it.

When the scroll was opened, a few lines of text appeared:

"Divinization Scroll—

Lose five Class Skills from levels 135 to 175.

Reduce the cooldown of [Hand of Execution] from 10 days to 1 day.

Add an exclusive skill [Reform].

Receive an opportunity to ascend to a Divine Class."

From then on, the effects of this scroll were fixed and would no longer change randomly.

Huang Yi immediately chose to use the scroll!

Suddenly, a burst of light emerged from the scroll and entered his body.

An immense and unceasing surge of Divine Power coursed through his body, rushing to every limb! He seemed to undergo divinization, his every movement exuding a powerful aura that was hard to resist.

In an instant, his skill—[Hand of Execution]—underwent a change. He had just used the skill yesterday in the fight against the Master of War, with 9 days of cooldown remaining, but now the cooldown was reduced to just one day.

Moreover, aside from the prior "Judgment," Huang Yi obtained a brand new Class Exclusive Skill—

[Reform]: Extract an attached skill from a bound piece of equipment and reform it to enhance its power, then transfer it to another piece of equipment. If the receiving equipment already has an attached skill, you may choose to replace one of its attached skills. The greater the power of the skill, the more Energy Value it consumes during reformation. While there is no limit to the number of times a skill can be transferred, reformation can only be done once.

This new exclusive skill was not a combat type, but its auxiliary effects were extremely powerful, especially suitable for Huang Yi’s current situation—it was just like receiving a pillow when feeling drowsy.

Just yesterday, Huang Yi had acquired the fragments of an Epic Weapon that required burning a Legendary Equipment to restore its power. After burning, the attached skill of the Legendary Equipment would also be destroyed. However, this skill enabled the valuable attached skills of the Legendary Equipment to be preserved and transferred to other equipment, replacing skills that were less practical.

After examining the two skills, Huang Yi suddenly furrowed his brow.

Up until now, he had not received any notice about ascending to a Divine Class!

Whether it was the reduced cooldown or the new exclusive skill, they were just icing on the cake—the Divine Class was the ultimate effect of the scroll!

However, there was no System Prompt for this most crucial effect!

Huang Yi could not help but open the scroll again to check, and this time he made a new discovery.

At the end of the scroll, there were four more characters—"Break and Re-establish."

These simple four words cast a shadow over Huang Yi’s Divine Class.

Clearly, these words were the condition for ascending to a Divine Class, but they did not specify how to go about it, offering no process or steps, leaving Huang Yi to figure it out on his own.

Break and Re-establish apparently meant that Huang Yi had to lose something before he could become stronger.

But what this "losing something" entailed, how to achieve it, and what was considered enough to be lost, remained a mystery.

Having barely climbed to such heights, the cost of losing something was almost unbearable for Huang Yi.

Lose Heroes’ Prison?

Lose the Eye of Time?

Lose Nefalem’s Bloodline?

...

Regardless of which, it was a difficult choice to make!

Huang Yi dared not attempt this lightly and could only study the matter slowly. One day, he was sure to unravel this secret.

Huang Yi put away the scroll and took out another item from his storage ring.

It was a handle, ancient in design, and it was the "Handle of Emperor Somerett’s Bloody War Halberd" he had acquired yesterday.

Since then, he had been contemplating whether to burn the Legendary Ghost Axe to restore the power of this Epic Bloody War Halberd Handle but couldn’t bring himself to make a decision. However, now that he possessed the [Reform] skill, he had finally made up his mind.

He decided to burn the Legendary Ghost Axe to restore the handle, making it his new weapon for the future!

The cost was enormous; [Ghost Axe] was a Legendary Weapon that one might not encounter again, yet Huang Yi resolved to burn it away!

Such resolve was rare in The Second World!

Huang Yi took a deep breath, immediately fetched the Legendary Ghost Axe, and caressed it as if saying farewell.

The next moment, he used the newly acquired "Reform" skill on the Ghost Axe!

Instantly, a mass of red light was forcibly extracted from the Legendary Ghost Axe and floated in the air. This red light was none other than the attached skill of the Legendary Ghost Axe—Flying Axe.

"[System Prompt]: There are three directions for the modification of the Flying Axe skill. Please make a choice. First, enhance the attack power, increasing the damage dealt to the enemy from 30% of the attack power to 50% of the attack power. Second, extend the flight distance, increasing the maximum attack range from 20 times the level value in meters to 30 times in meters. Third, allow the Flying Axe to change from a fixed straight-line offensive mode to an automatic tracking attack mode against enemies."

Among these three modification directions, the first two offered straightforward data improvements, with quite substantial enhancement margins.

However, Huang Yi decided to choose the third option—making the skill automatically track its targets!

Once the Flying Axe skill was launched, it couldn’t change direction, and if the enemy had a quick reaction speed, they could move swiftly to dodge its attack before the Flying Axe reached them.

But if it were to automatically track the target, then the enemy would be left with no choice but to take the hit!

After making his choice, the red light trembled for a moment and began a complex process of reform.

Meanwhile, Huang Yi’s energy value flowed away like water bursting through a dam.

"[System Prompt]: [Flying Axe] modification completed. Once used, it will be able to automatically track the enemy."

Huang Yi let out a long sigh of relief!

From then on, the Flying Axe skill became even more powerful!

Next, Huang Yi took the second step; he immediately chose to burn the Legendary Ghost Axe to restore the might of the "Emperor Somerett’s Bloody War Halberd Handle"!

In an instant, the Ghost Axe that he had used for a long time burst into a ball of blazing flames, burning itself and giving off a sense of tragic heroism as if it were a sacrifice.

Above the Ghost Axe was an unremarkable Epic Handle, which turned bright red under the burning of the Legendary Ghost Axe. The scorching flames were gradually absorbed into it, making its presence stronger and more intense, like a mighty lion that had been asleep for a long time, finally waking up.

Gradually, the Legendary Ghost Axe burned to nothingness, completely turned into flames, and the tremendous power of the equipment was all absorbed by the handle.

The handle seemed to have taken a tremendous tonic, changing its appearance as crude golden patterns emerged, mystical and noble, exuding a royal aura.

Huang Yi grasped it in his hand and felt a powerful force, as if he was holding a segment of an epic tale, a force that completely surpassed the previous Ghost Axe!

Huang Yi once again used the reform skill and reinfused the newly modified [Flying Axe] skill into the handle, further enhancing its power.

"Swoosh!" The next moment, the blood-colored light of the Flying Axe instantly entered the handle.

Holding hope in his heart, Huang Yi checked the attributes of the handle—

[Emperor Somerett’s Bloody War Halberd Handle] (Epic, temporarily downgraded to Legendary, Weapon - Polearm Class)

Close Combat Attack Power: 100-120 Holy Domain Points

Strength +20 Holy Domain Points

Attack power +20%

Every five seconds, the next attack is additionally increased by 20%

Rage cap value +100, increasing by 1 point per second.

Attached Skill:

[Flying Axe]: A long-range attack skill that allows you to throw your weapon towards the target with powerful force. The weapon tracks the target automatically at a speed of 100 meters per second, forcibly knocking back and dealing damage equal to 30% of the attack power to all enemy targets hit along the way. The maximum attack range of the Flying Axe must not exceed 20 times the level value in meters, and can be recalled at any time. Each use consumes 5% of health points, cooldown time 5 minutes.

Durability: 2500/2500

Required Level: Can be increased along with the level, currently level 125

Item Description: I have not become the king, yet you have become the queen. Thus, I apologize, but I can only overthrow his empire.

The additional attributes of this handle completely surpassed the Ghost Axe, and this was only a fragment part!

As more fragment parts are obtained in the future, it will become more and more powerful, and once all five parts are gathered, it will be a complete piece of Epic Weapon!

Only in the legends of history does an Epic Weapon appear!

Huang Yi tightly gripped the handle which was about ten centimeters long. When held in hand, it would be completely covered, making it seem as though one was not holding anything at all. However, it had an illusory form, with a transparent aura extending out, shaping into a two-meter long halberd, without affecting its use. Moreover, this made it even more concealed, inflicting injury on an opponent without them even seeing the appearance of the weapon.

Just then, Huang Yi suddenly felt that there was something unusual about the handle, as if there were some kind of marks on it.
