Chapter 75: Lucky King Possessed!
A purple glow illuminated Su Xiao's cheek, causing him to turn his head to the side.
Beside him, Bubu Wang also turned his head, nearly blinded by the dazzling light.
The purple glow persisted for a long time. When it finally faded, two items appeared in his hands.
Seeing one of the items, Su Xiao's heart began to beat faster.
In his hand was a banana-shaped fruit with a red skin covered in spiral patterns.
He was holding a Zoan-type Devil Fruit!
Su Xiao had already guessed what type of Devil Fruit this was, but he was still very curious about it.
[You have obtained a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.]
[You have obtained Demon Whisper.]
...
[Ox-Ox Fruit (Giraffe Form)]
Origin: One Piece
Quality: Dark Purple
Type: Devil Fruit (Consumable)
Effect: After consuming this Devil Fruit, you will gain a giraffe form, allowing you to switch between human form, human-beast form, and full beast form.
Tip: After consuming this Devil Fruit, Strength +7, Agility +8, Stamina +10, Intelligence +3, Charm +5.
Tip: Devil Fruits fear the sea and Seastone. Contact with either will cause weakness. If more than 60% of the body is submerged in fresh water, mild weakness will occur.
Rating: 259 (Note: Dark Purple items have a rating of 151 to 260. Higher-rated items are more valuable.)
Description: The power of a demon? No, this is the power of rules.
...
Examining the Devil Fruit in his hand, Su Xiao hesitated, contemplating whether to eat it.
He had never considered eating a Devil Fruit before, but he never expected that doing so could increase his attributes by so much.
Adding up the attribute boosts from one Devil Fruit, it totaled 33 points. What did 33 attribute points mean?
However, another issue presented itself: aside from the attribute boost, this Devil Fruit was essentially useless.
Transform into a giraffe? Su Xiao shook his head. Not only did it clash with his aesthetic sense, it was completely incompatible with his combat style.
After careful consideration, Su Xiao decided not to eat this Devil Fruit. The aesthetic didn't match, the combat style didn't match, and more importantly, he couldn't determine if this fruit would conflict with the Law Annihilation Shadow class.
If he learned a skill that conflicted with Law Annihilation Shadow, the class would devour that skill. But Devil Fruits were different. The power level of a Devil Fruit wasn't low. Even if Law Annihilation Shadow could eventually devour the Devil Fruit's ability, whether Su Xiao would survive the process was unknown.
For the sake of his life and to avoid turning into a giraffe, Su Xiao decided to sell this Devil Fruit, even though its attribute boosts were tempting.
Strength development required a clear path; he couldn't just learn any ability that seemed strong.
Having made up his mind to sell the Devil Fruit, Su Xiao looked at the other item.
[Demon Whisper]
Origin: Unknown
Quality: Purple
Type: Consumable (1/1)
Effect: After using this item, you will gain the passive skill: Demon Power.
Demon Power: Adds 3 points of True Damage per attack.
Rating: 150
Description: The power of a demon inspires awe.
...
[Demon Whisper] was a black wooden carving, about ten centimeters long, depicting a lifelike demon.
Seeing this, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. Although Demon Power's damage was low, it was True Damage. As the saying goes, even a mosquito's leg is meat.
Using [Demon Whisper], a passive skill appeared on Su Xiao's skill list.
Demon Power: Lv.1 (Passive Skill)
Skill Effect 1: Adds 3 points of True Damage per attack.
Skill Effect 2: Can increase Demon Power's level by sacrificing equipment. The higher the quality of the sacrificed equipment, the stronger Demon Power becomes.
...
[Tip: The Hunter has mastered a new ability, 'Demon Power'.]
[Checked: 'Demon Power' compatibility with the Law Annihilation Shadow class exceeds 89%. 'Demon Power' has been incorporated into the Law Annihilation Shadow skill list.]
Receiving this prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao fell into thought. He had learned other passive skills before, and without exception, most of them were incorporated into the Law Annihilation Shadow skill list.
This led Su Xiao to a hypothesis: Law Annihilation Shadow likely had strong compatibility. As long as a skill wasn't related to mage-type abilities, Law Annihilation Shadow would accept it.
Su Xiao picked up a white-quality piece of equipment and attempted to sacrifice it.
A black energy spread from Su Xiao's hand, giving off an ominous and awe-inspiring feeling.
Su Xiao frowned, sensing something was wrong.
At that moment, the Cyan Steel Shadow energy within him suddenly went berserk, surging toward the black energy.
"Ahhh~!"
A wailing, howling scream echoed in his ears as the Cyan Steel Shadow energy began to devour the Demon Power.
"Law Breaker, you are a destroyer!"
A booming voice sounded in his ears, but Su Xiao saw no one.
"Excellent! The Law Breakers haven't gone extinct. Our demon race and the Law Breakers are allies for generations. We rose together and fell together. For a Law Breaker to master our demonic power is incredible. This is a miracle."
The voice seemed extremely excited and carried a sense of familiarity, as if meeting a long-lost relative.
"This weak Demon Power is an insult to our demon race. The third-generation Law Breaker, Don Slin, was a benefactor to our demon race. Take this—this is the purest demonic power, free from any will."
The voice faded away. The black energy that had been stored in Su Xiao's arm began to change, turning blood-red.
The Cyan Steel Shadow energy surged forward, but the blood-red energy didn't resist. It was gradually expelled from Su Xiao's body by the Cyan Steel Shadow energy.
The blood-red Demon Power didn't dissipate into the air. Instead, it formed a blood-red cross-shaped mark on the back of Su Xiao's right hand, like a blood-red tattoo.
Seeing that the blood-red Demon Power no longer resided inside his body, the Cyan Steel Shadow energy calmed down, seemingly allowing this demonic power to reside on Su Xiao's skin.
[Tip: Your passive skill, Demon Power, has changed. It has evolved into Demon Mark.]
Demon Mark: Lv.1 (Passive Skill)
Skill Effect 1: Adds 10 points of True Damage per attack.
Skill Effect 2: Can increase Demon Mark's level by sacrificing equipment. You have formed an equal pact with a high-ranking demon.
...
Su Xiao was somewhat confused, but he realized one thing: Law Annihilation Shadow didn't only have enemies; it also had allies, and these allies were surprisingly generous.
Attempting to sacrifice equipment, the Demon Mark on the back of Su Xiao's hand flickered, and several white-quality pieces of equipment disappeared.
After sacrificing all his white-quality equipment, the Demon Mark reached Lv.2, increasing the True Damage by 3 points.
Obtaining this passive skill put Su Xiao in a great mood. From now on, if he had low-quality or hard-to-sell equipment, he could sacrifice it. Each level of Demon Mark increased True Damage by 3 points, which would become quite substantial at higher levels.
