Marvel: Hunter

Chapter 407: New Skills

The subsidiary skill [Dragon Chant] has a trigger chance of 0.01. The subsidiary skill [Dragon Half Moon Slash] also has a trigger chance of 0.01. The subsidiary skill [Moon Devour] can be used freely, but only three times per day. What Blaine did not expect was that there were four subsidiary skills this time. However, it seemed that all the previous skills had been deleted, leaving only the newly developed ones.

Moreover, the trident was no longer called the Flood Dragon Trident, but had become a Dragon instead, which was completely beyond Blaine's expectations. As for why it was called a "pattern," it was probably because, although the shape of Trident remained exactly the same as before, its color had changed. Previously, the green-and-black coloration gave off a sense of power and dominance, but also carried a vicious, ferocious aura. Now, however, the entire weapon had turned silvery white.

In addition, a golden line had appeared along the body of the trident.

It looked like a dragon coiled around the weapon. This was also the golden light that Blaine had seen just now. Possibly, this was the reason the Flood Dragon had been promoted to a Dragon starting from zero. What surprised Blaine even more was that the Flood Dragon Trident was now somewhat similar to the tridents used by prehistoric Bounty Hunters.

However, the tridents in the hands of those prehistoric Bounty Hunters were completely silver-white when not in use. After releasing their skills, the halberd bodies would either turn into golden tridents or bright white tridents, which was very strange. Blaine's trident, on the other hand, seemed to be a fusion of the two, combining gold and silver into one.

"One pattern?"

"Why is it so emphasized that it's one pattern?"

"Could it be possible to become two or three patterns after promotion?"

"Look at the thickness of the trident and the size of this golden dragon pattern…"

"It seems that after being promoted to the full level, the trident should be able to have at most six patterns."

"Six again. Why is it always the number six?"

"Six universe stones, six metal key fragments, and six dragon patterns…"

The weapon had already been obtained. However, the price of this dragon pattern seemed to be a tenth-level star core. Didn't that mean that every time it leveled up by one level and added a dragon pattern, it would require a tenth-level star core? A tenth-level star core was a tenth-level star core—Blaine would have to slowly find a way to deal with that later. For now, he continued reading the introduction of these auxiliary skills.

First was [Dragon Chant]. This skill was very interesting—interesting to what extent? It was exactly the same as the previous [Flood Dragon Roar], with the same effect. Only the name had changed. Before, it was Flood Dragon; now, it was Dragon. It was also identical to the opening move of the prehistoric Bounty Hunter's three-in-one combo. The technique itself was exactly the same, definitely so, except that the power was different.

Second was [Dragon's Breath]. As the name suggested, it was the breath of the Heavenly Dragon. What was its function? What left Blaine dumbfounded was that it was no different from the previous Ice Burial Flower. It could only be said to be a combined version of Frozen Flower and Frozen Thousand Miles, which could be considered a wave of strengthening.

Then there was [Dragon Half Moon Slash]. This skill sounded like a brand-new ability, and in reality, it was indeed so. The effect when using it was not much different from what Blaine had seen from the prehistoric Bounty Hunter. It also absorbed light spots and enhanced the power of the slash.

Before, Blaine had been curious about where those light spots came from. Now, he finally knew.

It turned out that when using Dragon Half Moon Slash, the trident possessed its own Energy Absorption attribute. That is to say, regardless of the surrounding world or space, the trident could absorb various nearby elemental energies, then strengthen itself—and more importantly, enhance the power of the half-moon slash.

And this was not the end. Even more astonishing things were yet to come. You see, the name of this subsidiary skill was Dragon Half Moon Slash. Dragon meant that the Flood Dragon had evolved into a Heavenly Dragon, with its strength level continuing to rise by another tier. But why did the name include the word "moon"?

Because if the battle happened to take place under a full moon, the trident would radiate a bright white moonlight, resonating with the full moon and absorbing its essence. Such power was absolutely beyond imagination.

No wonder the prehistoric Bounty Hunters, when fighting outside the moon, were able to defeat five enemies alone. Burning blood was one reason, but fully utilizing external assistance was likely even more indispensable.

What's more, it had been a full moon, and the prehistoric Bounty Hunters had stood directly on the moon to fight. With such a concentration of lunar essence, how could the trident's power not achieve twice the result with half the effort? In that case, using a halberd to slaughter a god group suddenly seemed understandable.

Although the auxiliary skill Dragon Half Moon Slash was not a control-type skill like the previous two—Dragon's Breath and Dragon Chant—it was undeniably a pure damage-dealing ability.

Now, the trident in Blaine's hand was completely different from before. It now possessed both control effects and powerful damage output, which fit Blaine's Bounty Hunter build far better. He was also straying further and further down the path of a heavily armed assassin.

It was as if the Flood Dragon Trident Blaine had used before was nothing more than a plastic knife, while the Dragon Trident could finally be considered an entry-level weapon—a true magic weapon forged from fine steel.

Finally, there was [Moon Devour]. As the name suggested, it meant devouring. During the upgrade process just now, the curse blood effect originally attached to the trident from the Curse Blood Knife had been removed. Perhaps the eerie viciousness of curse poison did not match the identity of a Dragon. Of course, there might have been other reasons.

However, Blaine's focus was not on that aspect, but on the devouring effect itself. Although this skill did not rely on random activation like some previous ones and could be used freely, Blaine knew that since it was an auxiliary skill obtained after leveling up, it must have its own advantages.

What he never expected was that the effect of Moon Devour was extremely close to that of curse poison. From the name alone, one could tell that Moon Devour was meant to consume something. And wasn't curse poison also devouring everything through its powerful corrosiveness?

The difference was that Moon Devour was far more monstrous than curse poison. Just how monstrous? Curse poison only worked on the human body and was merely a special form of poison. Moreover, how strong its corrosiveness was depended on the individual's physique—whether it was a Titan physique, a god-level physique…
