Chapter 299: Chapter 197: Divine Stealth Box! (Three in One)_4
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations! You’ve activated the 100-fold summoning chance for Undead Rally. The number of summons for this instance has increased 100-fold!]
Instantly, 100 stacked, invisible Undead Mages appeared beside Chen Mo.
[Undead Mage - Middle-tier Ghost]
[Attributes]: Health 1,038,864, Energy 2,597,160, Magic Attack 311,659, dual defense 543,845
[Skills]:
**Soul Ignition**: Consumes 10,000 Energy. Causes the target unit to suffer Health loss equal to 5x your Magic Attack. Cooldown: 5 seconds.
**Dark Energy Bomb**: Throws a Dark Energy Bomb that detonates over a 100-meter radius, dealing area damage equal to your Magic Attack x2 and afflicting all enemy units within the area with the Darkness status. Cooldown: 10 seconds.
[Special Skill]: Special Undead
**Special Undead**: Shares all abilities attached to skills in the "Skeleton Summon" series.
**Shared Abilities**: Bomb, Revival, Corpse Poison, Rally, Sacred, Unity
Although the Undead Mages only had two skills, their effects were far from weak. One was single-target, and the other was area-of-effect; both packed a punch.
The single-target skill inflicted Health loss. This Health loss was a rather special type of damage. When this type of damage was inflicted, its source wasn’t judged, so an opponent’s reflect damage or counterattack effects wouldn’t be triggered by it.
Simultaneously, this loss-type damage ignored defense. It felt somewhat like fixed damage, but it was slightly different. This was because the damage wasn’t attributed to any specific unit’s attack; it was considered a natural loss.
Therefore, this damage could not produce a critical hit. Even Chen Mo’s God-Grade Critical Strike Aura was ineffective against it. This was because the God-Grade Critical Strike Aura only buffed Chen Mo’s friendly units. Health loss damage wasn’t attributed to any specific unit’s attack. Consequently, it couldn’t trigger critical hits, nor could it benefit from any additional damage boosts or other enhancements.
It was a type of damage that, while consistent, was difficult to amplify further.
However, in many situations, this type of damage was extremely useful, especially when facing ’hedgehog-type’ enemies.
Chen Mo had once heard of a professional who could simply stand still and, just by being attacked, kill all his assailants with reflected damage. It was truly outrageous. Against such an individual, this type of damage would be invaluable.
Looking at the hundred Undead Mages and considering that the Death Knights were a tier stronger, Chen Mo decided against granting them permanent existence. Instead, he directly stored them all in his reclusion space for later use.
Only after completing these preparations did Chen Mo begin to accept the ten-star rebirth mission.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You are about to accept the ten-star professional rebirth mission. Regardless of success or failure, accepting this mission will consume 18.76 million of your experience points. Are you sure?]
"Confirmed!"
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: It has been detected that you possess a five-star initial hidden profession. Your ten-star rebirth mission will therefore be a ten-star hidden rebirth mission. Its difficulty will be far greater than a normal ten-star rebirth mission. Do you wish to continue?]
There’s this rule?
Chen Mo was immediately pleased. He knew that the chance of triggering a hidden rebirth mission was extremely low; one might only encounter it once after attempting ten thousand five-star difficulty rebirth missions. Although its difficulty would be higher than a normal five-star rebirth mission, the benefits were also more substantial.
For normal professions with exclusive skills, choosing the highest possible star-difficulty for the rebirth challenge was necessary to maximize the enhancement of multiple abilities. For instance, if such a professional had eight exclusive skills and chose a five-star difficulty rebirth challenge, upon passing it, they could choose five abilities—from their innate talent and those eight skills—for enhancement. However, if they encountered and passed a hidden rebirth mission, all eight of their exclusive skills and their innate talent would be enhanced.
Thus, the difference in benefits between hidden and normal rebirth missions was quite apparent!
Although this meant Chen Mo’s professional rebirth would be more difficult than normal, his guaranteed chance to encounter a hidden mission was still a massive win!
He immediately chose to continue.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Experience points successfully deducted. The ten-star hidden rebirth mission has officially begun. You need to enter a special challenge space to undertake the ten-star hidden rebirth mission. Proceed now?]
Remembering yesterday’s events, Chen Mo first went out to speak with Liu Yiyi, "Sister Yiyi, I have something to attend to today and might be back late. You don’t need to prepare dinner for me."
"So busy? Are you going on a date with your little girlfriend?" Liu Yiyi teased.
"Not at all, it’s something else."
"What else could you possibly be doing so late at night?" Liu Yiyi said with a knowing look.
Chen Mo was speechless and didn’t try to explain further.
After turning to leave, he directly entered the challenge space for the ten-star hidden rebirth mission, vanishing from the doorway.
Thanks to his invisible state from Divine Stealth, as long as he didn’t actively reveal himself, no one except fifth-transition experts could see him. Thus, he wasn’t worried about being exposed upon his return.
