Lin Mo first took out some E-rank magic scrolls from his backpack that were useless to him and incinerated them.
Whoosh!
As golden flames burned in his palm, the magic scrolls were reduced to evolution points one after another.
[Ding~ You incinerated E-rank Magic Scroll · Attack Boost and obtained 1 Scroll Evolution Point!]
[Ding~ You incinerated E-rank Magic Scroll · Defense Boost and obtained 1 Scroll Evolution Point!]
[Ding~ You incinerated E-rank Magic Scroll · Recovery and obtained 1 Scroll Evolution Point!]
Lin Mo casually burned two hundred E-rank magic scrolls first, obtaining 200 Scroll Evolution Points.
Then, he selected an A-rank magic scroll as the evolution target...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Lightning Strike] (A-rank Magic Scroll):
Effect: Summons a lightning storm after use, attacking all enemies within a 100-yard radius and dealing damage equal to 500% of the user's Attack Power while ignoring 50% of the target's Defense...
Uses: 1/1
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Let's see what this SSS-rank Lightning Strike looks like first."
As he spoke, Lin Mo evolved the A-rank Lightning Strike scroll.
[Ding~ Consumed 16 Scroll Evolution Points. Congratulations! Magic Scroll Lightning Strike has evolved from A-rank to S-rank!]
[Ding~ Consumed 32 Scroll Evolution Points. Congratulations! Magic Scroll Lightning Strike has evolved from S-rank to SS-rank!]
[Ding~ Consumed 64 Scroll Evolution Points. Congratulations! Magic Scroll Lightning Strike has evolved from SS-rank to SSS-rank World-Destroying · Myriad Thunderbolts (Maximum Rank)!]
The SSS rank had arrived.
Lin Mo looked at the magic scroll in his hand glowing with golden light and immediately checked its attributes.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[World-Destroying · Myriad Thunderbolts] (SSS-rank Magic Scroll):
Effect: Summons a heavenly lightning tribulation after use, attacking all enemies within a 1000-yard radius and dealing true damage equal to 3000% of the user's Attack Power...
Permanent Effect: Every time the player uses a World-Destroying · Myriad Thunderbolts scroll, Final Lightning Damage permanently increases by 1% (up to 100 stacks permanently)
Uses: 1/1
[Note: Bound. Cannot be traded or dropped.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Twenty times the attack range, plus group true damage equal to four or five SSS-rank single-target skills?"
"And it even comes with a permanent bonus?"
If it were only a basic bonus, then 1% would be insignificant. Even 100% at full stacks wouldn't be much.
But once it carried the label "Final," it was an entirely different matter.
Because the former only added onto the base value.
For example, an Elemental Mage's A-rank Lightning Bolt skill could deal 350% Magic Damage to a single target.
If they gained a 100% basic lightning damage bonus, the final damage would become 450%.
But the latter applied a final bonus on top of all existing bonuses from titles, skills, equipment, runes, and everything else.
The same A-rank Lightning Bolt, with 100% Final Lightning Damage, would deal 700% Magic Damage.
Lin Mo could hardly hold himself back. He wanted to test the actual combat power of this SSS-rank magic scroll immediately.
So he left the city at once and headed to a nearby level 64 wilderness area: Ghostwood.
———
Inside the forest were level 64 monsters: Ghost Demon Wolves.
There were also groups of three to five players teaming up to hunt the wolves for quests and leveling.
The top-tier players of Inferno City were around level 56 to 57.
Although there was a huge gap when facing level 64 monsters, there were always people willing to take risks and challenge their limits.
Because they believed that high risk meant high reward.
Lin Mo walked straight to the center of Ghostwood.
He took out the magic scroll from his backpack.
Opening the map settings, he marked all players within the map as protected targets.
The next moment...
Crack!
Lin Mo crushed the magic scroll.
[Ding~ You used the SSS-rank Magic Scroll World-Destroying · Myriad Thunderbolts and gained the permanent bonus effect: Final Lightning Damage +1%!]
The instant Lin Mo crushed the scroll...
Rumble!
The clear sky above the forest suddenly filled with lightning and thunder.
A moment later...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless bolts of lightning crashed from the sky, covering the entire Ghostwood.
It looked like the end of the world.
The Ghost Demon Wolves scattered throughout the forest were pierced by lightning, letting out miserable cries.
Huge white true damage numbers appeared above every one of their heads.
-752,310!
-752,310!
-752,310!
These level 64 Ghost Demon Wolves only had 300,000 HP in total.
They simply could not survive such damage.
In an instant, every wolf in the entire Ghostwood map was killed, each one roasted by the lightning until charred inside and out.
Sprinkle a little cumin on them, and even the kid next door would cry from wanting a bite.
The enormous Ghostwood fell into complete silence.
Throughout the forest, the independent players who had been hunting Ghost Demon Wolves in teams stared at the wolf corpses covering the ground around them, completely stunned.
Player A: "Holy shit! Who the hell was undergoing a heavenly tribulation just now?"
Player B: "What the hell! Who cast a forbidden spell?"
Player C: "They're all dead... The Ghost Wolves got wiped out! Not a single one is left!"
Player D: "Awesome, brothers! We get off work early today! Time to go home and eat!"
At the same time, a system notification that made Lin Mo's blood surge rang beside his ear.
[Ding~ Killed level 64 monster Ghost Demon Wolf x910. Experience +382 million! Divine Artifact Nirvana Luck Value +9.1%! Divine Artifact Black Dragon Emperor Ring Permanent Basic Attack Damage +0.091%!]
Whoosh!
A beam of golden light descended onto Lin Mo.
[Ding~ Congratulations on leveling up! All five attributes +1, Free Attribute Points +3! Current Level: 65. Experience required for next level: 500 million!]
A single SSS-rank magic scroll had directly cleared the entire map.
Looking at the wolf corpses scattered everywhere around him and the smoke rising from the battlefield, Lin Mo was shocked by the power of the SSS-rank World-Destroying · Myriad Thunderbolts scroll.
"As expected of an SSS-rank magic scroll. They're truly objects in the Divine Oracle World that can create miracles and change fate."
This thing would be a slaughter machine in future guild wars and national wars.
He could even imagine it now:
If he ever encountered situations like being surrounded by guilds such as Chaotic World, Storm, Heaven, or Martial God again, even if he were alone, he would no longer need to fear their numbers.
Because a single SSS-rank Myriad Thunderbolts could erase an entire guild in an instant.
After all, over 700,000 true damage.
Even the top Knight players ranked on Inferno City's Heavenly Ranking would be killed ten times over by that.
At this stage, there was simply no player capable of surviving such damage.
The actual combat effect of this World-Destroying · Myriad Thunderbolts scroll completely showed Lin Mo the power of SSS-rank magic scrolls.
So Lin Mo continued incinerating and evolving scrolls.
The next moment, one world-shaking SSS-rank magic scroll after another was born.
