Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 747 - 645: Golden Cauldron

After expressing his joy on the bed for a while, Kane suddenly stood up.

Then he jumped twice and left his personal space.

Upon arriving at the Guild Hall, Kane directly sent a message through the ruby lapel pin on his collar.

But he didn't receive a reply from Kreya, so he went to the Platinum Country.

"Hey, hey, is Kreya here? Is Kreya here?"

Kane started talking over the public channel, as he needed Kreya's help for some training for competitions.

And to give a Skill Stone to Kreya through a ritual, to see if this skill would be of any use to her.

"Sister Kreya is not in the Platinum Country. She said she plans to thoroughly research new dishes today and is probably selecting ingredients now."

Instead of hearing Kreya's voice, Kane heard Lulu's response.

"Oh, got it, thanks!"

After saying that, Kane hung up and vanished from the Platinum Country.

In the Fairy Tale World, after hanging up, Lulu curiously asked, "Weird, what's up with Kane today? Why does he seem so happy?"

The way Kane had just been talking to Lulu felt like he was passionately whispering by her ear, saying, "I'm so happy, I'm so happy..."

After leaving the Platinum Country, Kane returned to the World Ring and appeared in the office again.

Polona, who was about to deliver something, was startled by Kane's sudden appearance.

"Sorry, I have to go." With that, Kane swiftly slipped out the door, thinking if he didn't escape quickly, he might get roped into doing some paperwork again.

"Wait, there are still some documents..." Polona began to speak but saw Kane disappear in an instant.

"Sigh, such a slacker."

Helpless, Polona could only sit down and start approving those documents herself.

Having appeared in the fortress, Kane quickly found Kreya and walked towards the fortress's outskirts.

At that moment, Kreya was on a small plain within their territory, where they were breeding fiery wild cattle.

These are a type of silver-level magical beast cattle, and Kane and his team had once sealed it as a particularly delicious ingredient in the World Restaurant.

When Kane arrived, he happened to see Kreya capturing a very plump and sturdy wild bull.

Kane waited nearby for a while until Kreya caught the bull and handed it over to a nearby ghost maid for a simple butchering process.

For some reason, this task was particularly skillful for the ghost maids, who could use their mana to complete the process very quickly.

Seeing Kane waiting nearby for her, Kreya spoke a few words to the ghost maid beside her and then ran over.

When Kreya ran over, Kane went to meet her and gave her a hug, then they touched cheeks.

"Is there something you need from me at this time?" Kreya asked curiously.

Hearing Kreya's words, Kane smiled and said, "Can't I just come to find you for no reason? I just want to be with you."

Hearing Kane's words, Kreya smiled, gave him a peck, then playfully punched him on the chest and said, "Come on, spill it, what's up?"

Kane chuckled, then took Kreya's hand and said, "Let's go to the training ground first."

With that, the two of them disappeared and reappeared in the Guild Hall, then entered the training ground.

Due to the recent leisure time, many guild members were engaged in sparring inside the training ground.

Kane reconstructed a platform away from the others.

Then he and Kreya appeared on it.

Knowing Kane brought her to the training ground, Kreya understood that Kane might have acquired a new skill again.

But it's been nearly a week since he got the Golden Magic Stone, so why start testing a new skill now?

Thinking of this, Kreya asked, "Why are you only starting to train your new skill now?"

Kane, without much thought, casually replied, "Because a week ago, my luck wasn't good, so I didn't use Origin Skills to draw skills."

"Bad luck? Bad luck... a week ago..." Kreya suddenly pondered, then her face started to darken.

Just as he finished speaking, Kane fell silent, suddenly realizing he'd said something troublesome.

Whenever he got bad luck, Kane would deliberately hang around Kreya or Longbei to pass his bad luck onto them.

During that hour, Kane was like a bad luck transmitter, spreading bad luck wherever he went.

Each time Kane turned into a transmitter, he would quietly wander around.

The last time, he unluckily transferred the bad luck to Kreya and Lulu; he remembered there were other female members from the Explorer teams present too.

In any case, the scene at that time could be described as utter chaos.

"So, it was you!"

Kreya said through gritted teeth.

"Hehe..." Kane could only awkwardly reply with a smile.

Then his mind raced wildly, extracting the skills from the Skill Warehouse that he had previously drawn, and said to Kreya, "This is the skill I recently acquired. I think it's perfect for you. Get ready; I'm about to perform the ritual."

With that, he directly took out the hourglass from the Space Equipment and began the incantation.

Of course, Kreya knew that Kane was just trying to divert her attention, but what could she do about it?

She could only be tolerant of her lover; after all, Kane often behaved in very childish ways.

He even liked to say things like, "A man is always a boy at heart," which she really couldn't understand.

With a sigh, Kreya stood straight, waiting for the Skill Stone to enter her body.

As the ritual progressed, the Skill Stone floated in the air, emitting a golden glow, and then entered Kreya's chest and abdomen, merging into her body.

Kane also saw in Kreya's Attribute panel that a new Skill Stone was embedded within her Skill Grid.

Facing the knowledge pouring into her mind, Kreya closed her eyes and carefully contemplated it.

When she opened her eyes again, Kreya was already in her Ghost Form, burning with black and white flames.

She then waved her hand to the side, and a Magic Ball formed of Magic Power shot out, unveiling a simple doorframe of eerie green, inlaid with various skulls and bones.

As the door opened, a chilling wind blew from within, accompanied by screams.

The entire door stood three meters tall and two meters wide, a size that could hardly be called a grand gate.

At this moment, Kreya said, "When using this skill, I can control the size of the gate to manage the approximate type and number of undead that emerge."

Then, the first to appear from the gate was a Skeleton.

Most of the Skeletons that emerged had gray-yellow bones, full of fine cracks, and wielded weapons that were exceedingly odd.

The slightly better ones carried curved swords or rusty long spears.

The worse ones bore farmers' hoes and strange pitchforks.

There were even Skeletons holding wooden sticks and femur Bone Staffs.

As for Armor, Shield, Helmet, and such, they could only be seen on a sparse few Skeletons.

After glancing around, these emerging Skeletons headed straight for Kane, their open jaws shaking wildly as if shouting madly.

Seeing this situation, Kreya stamped her forehoof, and black and white flames swiftly surged from the ground toward the charging Skeletons.

The flames enveloped them completely.

The Skeletons did not struggle or resist; they simply stood silently, their bodies engulfed in black and white flames, aligning themselves in neat rows.

In front of Kreya, the Skeletons began aligning into formations, partitioned according to their varied weapon lengths.

"It seems this skill suits you well. Your flames can fully control them, and they even seem to enhance their attack capabilities and physical attributes," Kane remarked as he observed the scene.

Kreya nodded in response to Kane's words.

Then, the flames receded, leaving only the Skeletons wielding swords and wearing patches of armor still ablaze.

The flaming Skeletons shouted wildly, while the others began to array orderly behind them. Of course, you couldn't expect them to be very orderly; they merely clustered together conveniently.

Kreya remarked, "I can control some of the leaders through the flames to indirectly control other undead soldiers. This allows me to save energy and Magic Power, letting me control more Undead, though it greatly reduces precision."

Upon seeing this scene and hearing Kreya's explanation, Kane nodded. It seemed the skill suited Kreya even better than he had imagined.

Having resolved Kreya's skill issue, it was now time for Kane to test his new skills.

Apart from the Resurrection, which couldn't be tested, the newly upgraded skill "Eternal Cauldron" and the newly drawn skill "Deceptive Prayer" both needed thorough experimentation.

Kane directly placed the skill "Eternal Cauldron" into his Skill Grid.

A vast amount of knowledge poured into Kane's mind instantly, with the volume of this skill's knowledge being several times more than Kane expected.

Kane furrowed his brow slightly; it was the first time since upgrading to the golden level that he experienced such a sensation. It seemed this skill was more formidable than he thought.

As the knowledge in his mind quickly settled, Kane extended his arms in an embracing gesture.

Magic Power flowed from his hands, weaving into the Void.

The Magic Power wove into a phantom of a Cauldron, and the remaining Magic Power soared upward, drawing the stars from the sky to descend.

Since the world lacked a night sky, the training ground simulated one separately.

The blue sky and white clouds vanished swiftly, replaced by a vast star-filled night sky.

The Guild members training on a nearby platform paused to witness this sight, gazing upward.

Then, the stars in the sky fell like shooting stars, landing nearby.

Shooting stars, like raindrops, plummeted down to be absorbed into the Cauldron Kane was conjuring.

This scene was somewhat exaggerated, drawing Kreya to observe closely.

If such a scene occurred in the training ground, it would be even more magnificent outside.

As the stars descended, the Cauldron in Kane's hands fully took shape. It was as if a piece of the starry sky had been torn down and molded into a Cauldron, with stars still swirling and shifting within.

Kane looked at the Cauldron in his hands. Regardless of its function, the appearance alone was worthy of full marks.
