Minori's pupils reflected the lava sea, casting a scarlet light. He understood the significance of the "Transcendent Skill" professional skill.
"Isn't this just an alternative job reset?"
In the "YGGDRASIL" game, there are many skills and magic that require experience points to use, and once the player runs out of stored experience, these skills and magic cannot be used.
Minori remembered that if players wanted to reset their profession, they would normally have to downgrade through death.
And this has a disadvantage: the dropped levels will be deducted first from the high-level profession or the last profession the player upgraded.
This makes it very difficult to wash away the professions obtained in the early stage through death. Otherwise, how could the krypton gold props be sold?
But Minori can actively choose a profession to drop levels.
"I originally thought that the "Transcendent Skill" was just an alternative means of casting spells to increase endurance and backhands, but I didn't expect this skill to be so unconventional."
"However."
Looking at the experience in the [Experience Bar: 1 / 510000], after dropping the level, the value actually directly became one point. He originally thought that only the consumed experience would be reduced, but he didn't expect it to be directly cleared.
To be precise, only 1 experience point remains.
"So, is this also a kind of skill penalty for using skills to drop levels?"
Minori thought thoughtfully. It is indeed a special profession with a higher employment difficulty than [Valkyrie].
"[Ninja] still has 2 levels left."
"Attribute table!"
Minori showed a thoughtful expression, and his mind moved.
...
[Ability Table]
Innate Ability: [Player]
Overall Level: 48Lv
[Experience Bar: 471356 / 510000]

Specialty: 440 → 670 (52%)
Total: 362%
(The first number does not include the numerical values of the [Ninja] and [Magic Transcendenter] professions.)
...
Even without looking at these increased values.
Minori could feel the surging magic and power in his body at this moment. Just one special profession is a comprehensive improvement and enhancement.
The "Magic Transcendence Power" even increased the MP, Magic Attack, and Magic Defense values by an additional 130 points.
According to the current information, after the level drops, the skill points remain unchanged, and the numerical values increased by the [Ninja] profession have dropped.
Minori noticed that the four basic attributes on the panel had each dropped by 15 points.
"There are still some pieces of information that cannot be determined."
"If the profession completely drops and disappears, will it affect the disappearance of skills or passives?"
What Minori cares about most now are these two questions. The reason why he chose to consume the level of [Ninja] at the beginning.
Instead of choosing the two intermediate professions [Sword Saint] and [Shaman Mentor], it was because he considered these two questions.
The level of [Sword Saint] is too high. If you use Sword Saint to experiment, it would be too wasteful of experience points.
[Shaman Mentor] only has one level, but it is related to the skill "Totem Possession." Minori doesn't care about other things, but the ability of "Physical Armament" has cost him a lot of effort.
If [Shaman Mentor] is dropped, and the skill also disappears, there will be no place to cry.
[Ninja] has a low level, and the experience cost of the experiment is also low. Even if it is dropped, you can find Tia and Tina to get it again.
And Rigrit Bers Caurau is probably growing grass on his grave now, leaving only a skeleton. The seventh-tier resurrection magic may not be enough to resurrect him.
"Fortunately, the level is not high now, so I can experiment a little." Minori thought of this, and his heart still couldn't help but ache.
Whoosh!
Minori stretched out his hand and grabbed towards the void, and a piece of half-human-high crimson fish scale was taken out of the prop box. It was the fish scale of the Lava Dominator.
As a Lava Dominator with fire attribute resistance, it is very suitable for experimenting with the next skill.
"Elemental Collapse Whisper——"
Minori first waved his wrist and threw the huge fish scale into the air, and then used the passive ability of [Crazy Mage] to transform the third-tier thunder ball into a fire ball:
"Fireball!"
Boom!
Instantly.
A dragon-like figure burning with flames appeared in front of Minori. The size was about three meters, like a smaller version of a fire dragon phantom.
Magic surged!
A dazzling crimson fireball condensed in the mouth of this miniature fire dragon, and then spewed out.
The red streamer cut through the sky.
Accurately hit the fish scale thrown into the air.
Boom!
The flames exploded, and the fish scales, which originally had fire attribute resistance or even nullification, were directly burned to ashes by the flames released by this fireball.
The whole process seemed slow, but it was actually completed in the blink of an eye, not much different from the normal casting speed.
"Is this a fire dragon?"
Minori regained his senses and was stunned looking at the fire dragon phantom that was already beginning to dissipate:
"No, this image is closer to a lizard, is it a fire lizard Salamander?"
This is not an ordinary phantom, but a representative of the elemental spirits that govern the four elements!
Water Elemental Spirit · Undine.
Fire Elemental Spirit · Salamander.
Wind Elemental Spirit · Sylph.
Earth Elemental Spirit · Gnome.
"Using the Spirits that represent the governance of this element, ignoring the resistance of this system, is really appropriate."
"It's a pity that the cooldown time is 100h, so it can't be used as a regular skill."
Calm down the surprised emotions.
"The effect is very strong. If it is unexpected, you can easily seriously injure or even kill the opponent."
Minori continued to look at the trump card skill of [Magic Transcendenter]. From the information alone, you can see the horror of this skill.
"Kali Goddess…"
Minori whispered and prepared to release the magic, but he stopped abruptly after uttering a few words. His eyes frowned slightly, and he was silent for a while:
"You are water."
The phantom of water flow condensed from Minori's left side, turning into flowing, wavy water hair, with a soft upper body and a swaying water splash lower body, forming a female image.
"You are fire."
The figure of the Salamander that had just disappeared reappeared and materialized in front of him, with burning flame wings gently flapping.
"You are wind."
A translucent whirlwind phantom materialized like a storm in the direction on the right, gradually condensing into a humanoid elf shape with two pairs of wind attribute wings.
"You are earth."
A huge phantom like a brown rock appeared behind Minori, turning into a rock giant with scarlet eyes.
Four illusory figures, varying in size, orbited Minori, all clearly unreal, yet emanating a heart-palpitating, suffocating pressure that steadily spread.
Even the raging sea of magma below seemed affected, its fury subsiding.
"You are the Void."
The four illusory figures soared upwards, colliding above Minori's head, emitting a brilliant light as they merged.
"All things return to chaos at the end, until you create anew."
Minori uttered the final words of the prayer.
The four illusory figures, representing the elemental spirits, completely fused, becoming a hazy, indistinct presence, neither black nor white, a deep, ethereal form with starlight flowing within, its hands crossed over its chest.
"Alas…"
A faint sigh echoed in Minori's ears.
The next instant…
Half an hour later.
Minori sat expressionlessly on the edge of the fiery cliff, staring silently at the dozens of meters of lava that had vanished into thin air below.
"This skill is a bit terrifying."
Minori inhaled the hot air, the skill's effect matching its description.
All elemental magic was rendered unusable and ceased to exist, whether the normal four elements or their derivatives like lightning and sand.
Even composite elemental summons were completely ineffective.
However, powers like holy and negative attributes, which didn't belong to the four elemental attributes, were unaffected.
Attribute-less spells like "Magic Arrow" were not affected, but could no longer be converted into other elements through the [Mad Mage]'s passive ability.
And things like "Hot Spring" and "Silver Knight's Spear," related to water, would have their derivative elements from earth rendered directly ineffective.
Interestingly.
The [Five Elements Master]'s skill "Golden Arrow" was not affected.
"The Five Elements Master's skill system is based on the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."
"The 'metal' attribute here seems to be an independent attribute, rather than the 'metal' derived from the earth element."
Minori mused, "The complexity of the job structure in 'YGGDRASIL' far exceeds expectations."
Come to think of it.
Even the Cthulhu system exists, so it's not strange to have such detailed abilities.
In short.
"Kali Goddess's Sigh · Elemental Annihilation Day" is definitely a trump card that can decide the outcome, but it also requires analyzing the opponent's power system; otherwise, it's not as useful as 'Elemental Collapse Whisper.'
Against Ainz Ooal Gown, "Kali Goddess's Sigh · Elemental Annihilation Day" would be of limited effect.
This is a bit like "Death Knell"; powerful as it is, it has limited use if the opponent isn't an elemental caster.
Next.
Minori spent another day familiarizing himself with his newly acquired powers and various passive abilities, except for the "Magic Master" passive, which he couldn't figure out at all.
The other passives were fully understood.
The speed at which "Magic Power's Blessing" restored magic power far exceeded Minori's expectations.
Before, his magic power recovery rate was one point every ten minutes. Now, in a non-combat state, his magic power recovery rate was directly reduced to one point per minute.
Minori was startled.
Currently, his MP was 523 points, taking less than nine hours to fully recover, a qualitative leap compared to the previous recovery rate.
Of course, he couldn't compare to Ainz Ooal Gown, whose 1900+ magic power points only took six hours to fully recover, but this was already a big leap for Minori.
In the end, excluding the ineffective job converted by [Genius], he only had two caster jobs.
"There are still three years left, there's time to fight!"
Minori stood on the edge of the cliff in the lava region, straightened his back, stretched his arms wide, and yawned, his eyes flashing with a hint of passion as he looked into the distance.
He currently possessed two special job constructs.
[Cursed Knight] · [Valkyrie]
[Mad Mage] · [Magic Transcendenter]
He didn't have much of a clue what to do next, but experience was still the most important thing.
Upper Water Moon.
January 12th.
Five days had passed since leaving the royal capital on the 8th.
He spent two days searching for the Zern tribe in the Abelion Hills, and another day in the lava region familiarizing himself with his increased powers.
Minori first returned to the "Free Will" team to confirm the adventurer party's location and distance to "Ye Yiwuer."
[TL: Not sure what that is meant to be]
Then, he used Teleportation magic to return to the Abelion Hills.
This time, he didn't directly go to the underground caves and sinkholes inhabited by the Zern race.
There were still two days left before the three days he had mentioned, so he wasn't in a hurry. The strongest member of the Zern race was the so-called "King."
Since there was no Zern tribe member among the Ten Great Demi-Humans, the "King's" strength was probably at the Fourth Tier magic level.
In the dense forest, with lush trees and secluded areas.
The chirping of birds and the sounds of insects echoed throughout the forest.
Although it was still winter, the Abelion Hills, belonging to the Holy Kingdom, were relatively temperate due to their proximity to the sea and the mountain range to the north.
The entire hill region had not been affected by the cold winter temperatures and was a very habitable place.
This was precisely why it was able to nurture so many demihuman races and heteromorphic races to live here.
As a thick-skinned troll.
Go Gin had a high adaptability to climate, but he didn't particularly like the Empire's winter. If the temperature was too cold, it would have a certain impact on the warrior's actions.
Several broken, thick trees lay collapsed on the ground, with scattered broken branches and leaves everywhere.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
Clearly, a major battle had just taken place here, but even with the presence of the bloody smell, no beasts or magical creatures dared to approach.
Go Gin sat on the broken tree trunk, his rough hands vigorously rubbing a sharpened branch, using the ancient method of drilling wood to make a fire.
The thick, heavy wolf-tooth club weapon, "Enchanted Metal Rod," was placed beside him, leaning against the tree trunk.
It was stained with traces of blood.
Upon closer inspection, many of the spikes attached to the front of the wolf-tooth club were chipped or even worn down.
This was weapon damage left behind by prolonged combat and the inability to perform careful maintenance.
Go Gin stared at the large elk gradually roasting over the campfire, his rough hands tearing off a piece of venison and eating it in large bites.
Slight trickles of blood splashed out between his closing teeth.
In fact, eating it raw would be more convenient, but Go Gin wasn't an uncultured troll. His long, luxurious life in the Empire had long abandoned the troll's habit of drinking blood.
A faint wisp of white mist drifted through the distant dense forest, barely causing a few leaves to tremble slightly.
Go Gin chewed the roasted meat in his mouth, continuing to stare at the elk over the campfire, but his eyes became a bit colder: "You've been following me for two days, you better get lost before I get angry!"
The cold voice echoed in the forest.
The air became quiet, with only the crackling sound of the fire burning branches.
