Chapter 22: New Abilities and the Warden Devour Plan

Among Lani’s skills, besides the few basic skills with a normal rating, the worst ability ratings are all above excellent, and there is even the ability called "Succubus Fragrance," which has a rare rating.

"Succubus Fragrance (Rare):

[This ability belongs to creatures with a succubus bloodline. When activated, it can increase all of the user’s abilities by 10%, and charm will be raised an extra 10%. The duration depends on the values of Spiritual Vision and Physical Strength. It can only be used once per hour."]

When Leo saw this skill, his eyes sparkled.

This is a percentage buff skill!

With his extensive experience in games, novels, and movies, he fully understands the value of such an ability.

Let’s put it this way: in any game, world, or film, there will always be an unavoidable problem in the story development—stat inflation.

A powerful artifact obtained in the early stages might just become a common weapon you can find along the roadside in the later stages.

In a famous fantasy novel, strong fighters at the battle level may become less valuable than a dog as the story progresses… Truly, thirty years in the west, thirty years in the east.

Not to mention the so-called values and abilities.

As I slowly delve into and understand this world, I will surely encounter such problems…

But percentage-based abilities are not like that!

These abilities will grow stronger over time! They will never lose their value! In fact, the improvements become greater as time goes on!

Looking at Lani’s other abilities, they are all useful right now.

For example, the joyful whip that can deal damage and the joyful body that enhances physical strength…

With so many skills, all of them are high-quality; no matter which one I get, it will elevate my power to the next level!

In this situation, how can you say that I will lose out?

Thinking of this, Leo couldn’t help but feel excited and rubbed his hands together, saying, "System, draw a lottery!"

The whisper of the God of Joy entered his ears once more, as crimson light flickered in his mind. A vast amount of knowledge flooded into his brain, instantly becoming part of his muscle memory.

[The lottery is complete. You have gained the ability: Low Level Swordsmanship (Common).]

[Low Level Swordsmanship: A swordsmanship style that an ordinary person can master after four to five years of practice. It’s not a remarkable ability.]

Leo, "…"

Two seconds later, he suddenly sat up from the bed, grabbed the bowl of food beside him, and slammed it onto the table.

"Ah! This is ridiculous! So many useful skills, and I ended up with this?"

Damn it, last time I drew a high-level skill, and this time I just got a common one!

What is this? Am I cursed with bad luck?

Lani, standing nearby, stared at him with wide eyes, smacked her lips a couple of times, and then continued searching for information.

The master’s stress is indeed very high; he still needs to let it out.

How about we prepare some candles and twine tonight?

…

After venting for a while, Leo stopped, pressed his forehead against the bedpost, and his lips kept twitching.

In the original world, drawing cards was just fine, but how did I end up here as an African?

Just then, the sound of the system rang out once more.

[Milestone: First Fusion with a Half-Blood Succubus] Completed.

[You have gained a new ability: Aroma of the Succubus (Legendary) (Unique)]

The sweet scent of the succubus:

When you use this ability, your identity will be recognized as a pure-bred succubus.

[With the abilities you have from your succubus bloodline, activating this skill can increase all your powers by 15 percent, and your charm will increase by an extra 20 percent. There is no cost for 15 minutes; after that, the duration will be determined by the values of Spiritual Vision and physical strength. This skill is unique in this world.]

Leo, "…"

Hiss~

"Oh dear, let’s not be angry, let’s not be angry. This legendary scent is even stronger than that rare common scent, isn’t it?"

He thought for a moment, gently picked up the bowl, and carefully used his knife and fork to push the scattered food back into the bowl, "Hmm, I shouldn’t waste food."

Lani held her chin, glancing sideways at Leo, her brows furrowing slightly once again.

Hmm, the pressure on the master is greater than I imagined; it seems I need to prepare more tools for tonight.

How about… going to the stable to find a rope and a whip?

……

After a hearty meal, Rao tried out the Long Sword in his room, practicing the Low Level Swordsmanship he had just learned.

To be honest, it feels quite special to master a skill in one day that others take four or five years to learn.

However, his physical condition is too weak, so he probably won’t be able to use this swordsmanship effectively in the short term.

After hanging the long sword back on the weapon rack, he slowly walked to the crystal table and sat down.

Lani had already prepared red tea for him, and the faintly bitter steam brought some warmth.

"Now, it’s time to eat the real warden." Taking a sip of tea, Leo slowed his breathing, allowing his heart rate to gradually calm down.

"Yes, Master." Lani licked her lips and said, "I also want to taste my sister’s flavor."

"Before this, we need to gather information on a pair of enemies." Leo calmly analyzed, "Warden Reni, a quarter succubus lineage, is a mid-level believer. Her strongest ability is in mental control, right?"

"Yes, that’s right." Lani nodded. "Moreover, my sister is now seriously injured. Besides her mental abilities, she can’t really use any other sword fighting or combat skills."

"So, we need a little…"

"The important thing are her few mental skills. Tell me, what are they?"

"The first one is Enchanting Eye. You will also learn this skill, master. It allows you to use the power of the God of Joy to influence others through Spiritual Vision." Lani said confidently, "The second ability to be careful of is my sister’s Desire Temptation."

"When my older sister uses this ability with all her might, she can charm all creatures within a radius of four hundred meters that have a weaker Spiritual Vision than hers, making them temporarily obey her commands. This ability is truly fearsome; it has almost no release conditions and requires no chanting time. It is my sister’s most powerful ability, and the only limitation is that it can only be used once within a natural hour."

"She is indeed very powerful." Leo nodded, "So, the easiest way to deal with her is to have a higher Spiritual Vision than hers."

"Well, based on the calculations, the low-level believer usually has attributes below 10 points, while the Joyful Doll has reached the level of an advanced believer, with all attributes at 15 points. Therefore, as a mid-level believer, the warden’s attribute points should be between 10 and 15."

"My current Spiritual Vision is 8 points, and I have 6 free attribute points. If I put them all into Spiritual Vision, it will reach 14 points, and I should be able to deal with her."

"No, it can’t be so certain. She has succubus blood, and her Spiritual Vision score might be higher than I imagine. So, just to be safe, should we enjoy ourselves a few more times?" Leo shook his teacup while thinking.

"I think there’s no time left, Master." Lani shook her head. "According to my sister, the grand bishop of the sect will arrive here tonight. Even if there are some delays, it will be no later than dawn."
