I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 268 - 186: Apostle Promotion (Double-Length)

Chapter 268: Chapter 186: Apostle Promotion (Double-Length)

Rogel sighed heavily.

Then he couldn’t help but think about the information given in Effect 2 and the Explanation.

Intuition for secret arts? Obtaining treasures or ruins?

No wonder the earlier explanation mentioned that Secret Masters walk on the sea and traverse ruins...

As for the information given in the Explanation...

In Rogel’s view, it was reminding him that in the future, he could hide his hand to lay traps.

"Then let me see what kind of ability this Secret Art Hand really has."

With that, he saved the game and then drank the potion in his hand.

[You have consumed an Apostle Potion.]

[The power of the potion is merging with your body...]

[The Extraordinary Magic Potion you consumed has a very high compatibility, fusion successful!]

[Character Tier has been upgraded to Apostle, you can now advance to Level 50!]

[Character Attributes increased!]

[You have acquired new special skills!]

[Your talent as a Mystic has been enhanced, allowing you to remain clear-headed when encountering more hidden knowledge.]

[You have ascended to Apostle, Character Level increased!]

With a loud bang, an invisible stream of air... actually, nothing seemed to happen.

Although Rogel, who ascended to Apostle, showed no physical changes, he could clearly feel his newfound strength.

This enhancement included, but was not limited to, spirit, body, and control over his abilities, and so on...

Rogel clenched his hands, feeling a mysterious power now residing within them.

[Title: Rogel]

[Level: 31]

[Body: 50]

[Spirit: 50(+1)]

[Faith: 20]

[Tier: Apostle]

[Special Skills: Magic Potion(Apostle)lv1, Secret Art Hand(Apostle)lv1, Dragon Transformation(Extraordinary)lv10, Fog Flash(Extraordinary)lv8, Knowledge Comprehension(Extraordinary)lv5, Skeleton Stripping(Extraordinary)lv5, Pharmacy(Extraordinary)lv5, Swordsmanship(Extraordinary)lv3...]

[Life Skills: Mysticism(Extraordinary)lv10, Blacksmith(Extraordinary)lv5, Fishing(Extraordinary)lv3, Artisan(Extraordinary)lv1...]

The attributes had been significantly enhanced all around.

However, this was not what mattered most for Rogel.

He immediately opened the detailed description of Secret Art Hand.

[Secret Art Hand(Apostle)lv1: You can release different effects of secret arts through hand gestures, which reduces the inherent cost of the secret arts, and does not depend on a magic staff. More magic can be incorporated through gestures.]

[Secret Arts Placed: Illusion, Radiant Stone Shock.]

Upon seeing the skill description, Rogel’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

With the Secret Art Hand, he could use hand gestures to cast secret arts without relying on a magic staff, and he could reduce the energy cost.

No wonder other Extraordinary beings often talked about Secret Masters behind their backs.

With their hands hidden in the cloak, they could plot covertly.

After all, who would have thought a mage could go without a magic staff?

"Let’s first try the two secret arts that come with Secret Art Hand."

Rogel did not immediately place new secret arts but started testing the two built-in auxiliary skills of the Secret Art Hand.

First was Illusion.

Rogel clumsily touched his ring finger with his index finger, forming a strange hand gesture, and his body gradually began to blur.

In this state, physical attacks were basically ineffective against him.

"Somewhat similar to Fog Flash..."

Rogel pondered, stroking his chin.

For this, he was not disappointed; nobody would complain about having an extra life-saving skill.

Illusion could also compensate for the cooldown gap of Fog Flash to some extent, enhancing his survivability.

Even if its use overlapped with others, it was still a good skill.

Next was Radiant Stone Shock.

This one was purely an offensive skill.

However, its power exceeded Rogel’s expectations.

Boom—

Blue ripples swiftly exploded, blowing open a massive hole in front of Rogel and leaving a deep trench.

"The power is impressive, but I wonder if it works on soul-type creatures."

Rogel withdrew his hand.

If Radiant Stone Shock was effective against soul entities, its applications would be even more significant.

"Place all the magic skills into it."

After feeling the convenience of the Secret Art Hand, Rogel nodded in satisfaction and began placing his secret arts.

"Rock Pendant, Spirit Flame Curse, Thorny Overgrowth, Parasitic Thorns, and these Skeleton Secret Techniques..."

[Placement successful!]

The prompt appeared, and Rogel had placed almost all of the skills.

Apart from Dragon Transformation and Fog Flash, most of the other magic skills were placed into it.

Dragon Transformation and Fog Flash were a bit special; they didn’t require a magic staff as a medium and could be directly controlled by Rogel’s will.

After placing the secret arts into the Secret Art Hand, Rogel no longer needed a magic staff, but the tricky part was that each time placing a new secret art, he had to design a whole new hand gesture to correspond to the magic.

Rogel set up some simple and convenient gestures, like thumbs, middle fingers, index fingers, making it as straightforward as possible.

After all, he had already planned to get a cloak without any special effects to cover his body.

That way, not only would it not affect the use of the Ancient Demon Pattern Cloak, but he could also secretly make hand gestures inside the cloak and launch attacks.

It must be said, this Apostle profession is particularly suited for plotting covertly.

The last thing was the intuition for secret arts, for which Rogel still had high hopes.

However, he currently did not feel anything intuitive.

It was unclear what exact conditions would trigger the effect as the description was somewhat vague.

"Continue to study Enlightenment Prayer."

After the successful ascension, Rogel resumed his study of Enlightenment Prayer.

...

Within the Royal Palace of the Thousand Islands Kingdom.

Kadi was naturally extending a warm welcome to Rogel’s crew.

However, since Rogel was busy brewing magic potions and they couldn’t help in that regard, they could only wait in the house.

Meanwhile, everyone was occupied with something, mainly practicing Meditation Method or Visualization Method.

Except for Noemi, who was leaning on her hand lost in thought, the others were quietly training.

Noemi felt a bit bored; her eyes darted around, and then she stood up, intending to find something to eat.

But just as she was about to leave, an unexpected incident occurred.

Strange blood-colored streaks suddenly appeared on Mira’s neck skin, spreading from her heart outward and quickly covering her skin.

The next moment, Mira, who was in Visualization, involuntarily opened her eyes, filled with pain, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Noemi was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, anxiously asking, "Mira! Are you okay?"

But Mira was already in too much pain to speak, with blood-red streaks undulating on her body like pulsating snakes, looking terrifying.

"Mira!"

Upon hearing the commotion, everyone exited their training to check on her condition.

However, Mira’s eyes had already lost their light, and she was in a strange state.

In a blood-red pool, large blood-colored rose flowers bloomed.

A gigantic red rose formed from fresh blood emerged from the blood pool, scattering blood blossoms, with a huge scarlet eyeball at the center of the flower.

This eye, wrapped in petals, stared directly at her.

In a daze, Mira lifted her head, blankly gazing at the giant blood rose.

Boom!

The giant blood rose suddenly surged up, transforming into countless streams of blood that forcefully poured into Mira’s body.

In the midst of pain and screams, Mira’s consciousness was forcibly drawn back.

Ultimately, an eerie laughter was heard as the surrounding blood gradually dispersed...

"Cough, cough!"

"Mira! How are you doing?"

Regaining consciousness, the first thing she saw was Yas’s anxious face.

Beside her, Lina was sweating profusely, having just used Blood Spirit to heal Mira.

"Cough!"

Mira did not reply immediately; instead, she began to cough violently to the side.

A blood flower was coughed out and fell to the ground.

Strangely, the fresh blood had congealed into the shape of a rose.

This was a real blood flower.

"What is this thing?"

Noemi was shocked.

The thing seemed to have a life of its own.

But soon, the rose stopped writhing and reverted to the appearance of normal blood.

Meanwhile, in the astonished eyes of everyone, Mira slowly stood up.

After moving her body a bit, she tightened her grip on her now powerful hands, feeling an uncontrollable joy rise within her.

"I... I can stand up!"

She looked at everyone with delight.
