Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 887 - 453: Major Upgrade to the Martial Skill Network, Withdrawal Symptoms (2)

At first, the weapon web couldn’t be widely deployed.Because during the Soldier’s Tomb period, it was too small, with limited information interference, and the number of people who could be contracted was also limited.

But after advancing to the Soldier Realm, the number of groups he could affect visibly increased.

At this time, Beatrice discovered the existing issues within the Soldier Realm through the Eye of Truth.

The biggest issue was the unclear division of labor.

With a large amount of information, making the whole Soldier Realm operate efficiently becomes very difficult.

It’s like a computer without file categorization; just getting familiar with it takes a considerable amount of time.

And the operation of the Soldier Realm is handled by Louis himself.

With low efficiency in the Soldier Realm, the power that contractors can exert becomes weaker.

It’s like playing a game with lag, where every second of delay during weapon release can have a huge impact on the battle.

But Louis found it hard to adjust.

Because the existing information in the Soldier Realm not only includes weapon skills.

Magic replicated from the Little Swan.

Shadow magic obtained from the Black Swan.

Arcane knowledge obtained from Beatrice.

Curses obtained from the Lord of Soldiers.

...

If it were only the Nine Sword weapon skills, he could manage it himself.

Previously.

Louis had once opened part of the Soldier’s Tomb permissions to several ladies.

Originally, he wanted them to be able to directly utilize the power of the Soldier Realm.

But now the situation is different.

The contracted group within the Soldier Realm expanded too quickly.

And as Louis gradually evolved from being a mere symbol of the Ense Empire to another symbol independent of any single force, the contractors of the Soldier Realm are spreading to all major allies of Ense.

Many countries already confidently believe that, in the future, the demand for the weapon web by all melee professions will gradually align with the demand of mages for the magic web.

The influx of additional information brought by numerous contracts has rendered the traditional operating method of the Soldier Realm unable to satisfy the growing need for information.

"So, I previously told Louis that when the Soldier Realm expands a bit further, we might need to assign an information manager for each major category.

It’s just that I didn’t expect the Soldier Realm to expand so quickly at the time."

Mentioning this, Beatrice was both amused and helpless.

Although plans can’t keep up with changes, it’s rather rare when the reason for change is growth happening too fast.

The few of them are now inside the Soldier Realm.

Of course, the Soldier Realm now is the result of the mutual integration of their various worlds.

What lies before them is an unprecedentedly vast medium world.

And they are akin to the creator gods of this world.

But just like parents, without experience in qualification, whether they can be good parents is genuinely uncertain.

As the founder of the Soldier Realm, Louis himself finds it difficult to clear his head.

Luckily, he has wise and capable assistants.

The Eye of Truth of Beatrice can identify the flaws of superpowers.

So she said:

"Louis can interfere with our small worlds with our permission, and we can influence his small world with his consent.

So I suggest we split the power system of the Soldier Realm and flow it upwards."

Ais’s curiosity was piqued:

"How?"

"Conduct a secondary division. The magic replicated by Olivia can be directly copied to form the magic web, a complete alternative [Magic Web] suitable for spellcasters.

Ais, haven’t you been studying shadow magic all along? Your small world has integrated into the Soldier Realm, so let Louis assist you in accelerating your learning of shadow magic, and then we’ll replicate an alternative [Shadow Demon Net].

My arcane knowledge and the curses of the Curse Swordsmen can essentially be classified as part of magic weapon skills, so we’ll build a [Magic Weapon Web] here.

Plus, Louis’s [Weapon Web].

In this way, we’ll have detailed the four directions."

The Little Swan clapped her hands and said, "So, since our small world has been integrated into the Soldier Realm, we can let those skilled in processing this information assist in handling the corresponding information for each [Web]?"

Beatrice nodded.

That’s the idea.

The Little Swan, who has always been strengthening the orthodox magic power, is far better than Louis in dealing with conventional magic.

She is suitable to handle information related to orthodox magic independently.

After Beatrice’s advancement, she has an advanced part of the Curse Swordsmen profession, understands skills under the Arcane Knight, Warrior, and Curse Swordsmen systems well, and also has the assistance of the Eye of Truth for analysis.

She is suitable for handling information related to the Magic Weapon Web.

Ais’s shadow magic is very special and has its unique traits originating from the shadow plane, not to mention replicating the Shadow Demon Net, which also utilizes the negative energy of the Soldier Realm.

Don’t forget, the core of the Soldier Realm composed of the Book of the Dead itself is constantly distributing the power of the shadow plane.

Among the power of the shadow plane, negative energy is slightly better than the abyss and hell.

Without someone skilled to organize it specially, it could easily cause negative impacts.

Ais owns part of the godhead of the Dark Night Goddess and has dealt with this kind of power for many years; no one is more suitable than her.

As for the Weapon Web, let Louis handle it himself first.

Actually, in the most ideal scenario, the information of the Weapon Web should be divided for others to handle.

Dividing the information for others to handle will not weaken Louis’s power.

The dominant power of the Soldier Realm remains in his hands.

To put it bluntly, it’s like finding himself a Prime Minister to assist in handling affairs.

As long as the Prime Minister is trustworthy, it won’t affect your authority, but rather liberate you from cumbersome work and let you focus your vision on deeper fields.

This kind of operation doesn’t even appear in divine systems.

Because Divine Kingdoms are independent entities.

The Soldier Realm formed by women connected through destiny lines is more like...

More like the Star Continent framework, which constantly integrates foreign worlds.

More complete.

Harder to break.

And more oppressive.

"Let’s do it!"

Louis made the decision straight away.

Under the cooperation of the few, the Soldier Realm quickly underwent earth-shattering changes.

Most directly, the previously intertwined skill networks were segmented out.

To make adjustments and upgrades, Louis even uncommonly issued a temporary announcement to all contractors.

[Announcement: The Soldier Realm will begin the upgrade, now suspending the use of the weapon web for 1 day. After one day, a more efficient and precise new network will replace the old one. Please patiently await all contractors.]

The moment the news spread, the entire continent was shaken.

"Wait, I remember it wasn’t long since it upgraded from the Soldier’s Tomb to the Soldier Realm, right?"

"You remember correctly, to be fair, the weapon web is indeed useful, and teaching young cubs has become much easier."

"Damn, they actually want to shut down the web for a day. Without the weapon web, I’m doomed!"

"Why? Why? You were the ones who dragged me into this, and after I got used to it, why do you make me experience such pain again!"

Cries of lament echoed across the continent.

It was much like withdrawal symptoms after quitting the web.

Fortunately, the newly divided network was launched.

When everyone reconnected to the Soldier Realm, ready to shout [Weapon Web, activate], they suddenly noticed something amiss.

"Whoa!"

"Oh my, what is this?"

"Glory above, what on earth am I seeing?"

After reconnecting to the Weapon Web, they realized even the name had changed.

A skill tree like snowflakes appeared in their senses.

Each branch of the snowflakes corresponded to a development path.

The most common Weapon Web was the largest branch, starting from level one weapon skills, continually ascending to level nine weapon skills.

After that, basic weapon skills interlinked, extending towards the Nine Sword advanced professions’ various weapon skills.

But what caught their attention more were the skills related to Arcane Knight, Warrior, and Curse Swordsmen, which they had previously paid less attention to.

The path named Magic Weapon enables the broadest number of warriors to progress towards becoming Demon Warriors step by step.

Instantly, the warriors were brimming with tears.

Are they finally no longer underlings?

Of course, many also noticed the highlights within.

Magic Web path?

Shadow Demon Web path?

For heaven’s sake.

What the adults are learning must be something brilliant.

Some spellcasters were now also caught off guard.

Because if they become contractors of the Soldier Realm, as long as they meet the basic requirements, they can attain magic corresponding to the paths.

Pure Mages and Shadow Mages might not be too concerned.

But for other types of spellcasting professions, this [web], capable of being both melee and magic, meets their expectations more than a purely magic web.

Indeed.

They couldn’t help but speculate.

Because this specialized developed system resembles a particular thing—

The Priest’s [Divine Art].

So, has that adult really taken a step further?
