I Am Not A Goblin Slayer

Chapter 268: Chapter 207

Gauss stood still for a long time, taking a deep breath.

He quietly felt the immense changes in both his mind and body.

First, the entire world seemed to have been polished, becoming clearer and more transparent.

He felt he could see the veins of the leaves in the distance, the sunlight refracting from the dewdrops, the trajectory of the dust floating in the air, everything was meticulously detailed.

This actually had nothing to do with Perception.

Rather, it was the operation of his mind and the brain’s ability to process information that had been elevated to a new level.

In simple terms, his hardware organs like eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were still at their original level, but the software system had been upgraded and optimized.

At this moment, he looked again at the Spell model of the 2nd Ring Spell [Shaping Magic·Clay] at the center of his sea of consciousness, originally complex and somewhat obscure at its structure, now appeared clearly and became more fluid and understandable.

He was confident that if he were to relearn this 2nd-level Spell, he would definitely save a lot of time.

Moreover, his Spiritual Power had also been enhanced, and seemed to have undergone some sort of qualitative change.

He closed his eyes, his Spiritual Power slowly spilling out with his thoughts.

It detached from his body, touching the real world.

At this moment, he suddenly ”saw”!

Even with his eyes closed, he could see his surroundings in 360 degrees, like a god’s perspective.

This feeling was incredibly marvelous, as if he had gained a pair of ”eyes” on the level of consciousness, no longer relying on visual collection through light reflection, but a kind of ”spiritual vision” based purely on Spiritual Power Perception.

However, after briefly observing for a moment, Gauss felt a significant consumption of Spiritual Power.

He slowly opened his eyes, that intangible Spiritual Power covering his surroundings instantly receded back into his body like a retreating tide.

Reintegrated into his body, his mind became stable again.

It seemed, for now, that an Intelligence Attribute of 12 points was not enough to support his Spiritual Power detaching from his body for long.

The outside environment was still too dangerous for the ”fragile” Spiritual Power detached from his body.

It was essential to continuously output and manipulate Spiritual Power at high intensity to maintain its stability, while resisting the ”opposition” brought by the environment.

However, if his Intelligence Attribute were to be raised further, this awkward situation would improve greatly.

Gauss was even fantasizing that with further improvement of this attribute, perhaps relying solely on his Spiritual Power could intervene in reality, even without mobilizing Magic Power and other Magic.

Apart from changes in mind and spirit.

The transformation of his body also gradually came to an end.

An unprecedented sense of abundant power surged through all parts of his body, muscle fibers were restructured, if Gauss were to look inside, he would find his muscle fiber lines organized more systematically, and more resilient and powerful, like a production line full of energetic beauty, his entire body seemed like the most precision-engineered machine, yet a marvel of craftsmanship, a miraculous creation.

His heartbeat was stable and powerful, continuously pumping energetic blood, the lung capacity and resilience had also improved, each breath could intake and store more air, while the body’s oxygen-carrying capacity and ability to utilize oxygen were significantly enhanced.

Reflected in his breathing and heartbeat, it meant a frighteningly low frequency.

One breath could be sufficient for staying underwater for a long time.

Gauss felt the changes in his body.

Although there wasn’t much change in physique, the internal changes weren’t small.

Even without Magic Power, returning to his previous life, just relying on this body alone was enough to be considered superhuman.

Gauss looked again at the Adventurer’s Handbook.

After the title was upgraded from [Goblin Slayer] to [Goblin Slaughterer], more information popped up.

”...”

Gauss carefully examined it, realizing it was an upgrade in the entry effects.

Current Effect 1: Star Destruction. In battles against goblins and related advanced species, damage from attacks is increased by an additional 30% (includes critical hit effect, with a certain probability of triggering critical hits....)

Effect 2: Bloodthirst. When you kill goblins and related advanced species, there is a probability to randomly restore and replenish 2% of your stamina.

Gauss finished checking, revealing a satisfied expression.

The title upgrade primarily brought the upgrade of the most important entry effect 1, with the additional damage increase going from the original 20% to 30%.

This improvement was quite significant, as this damage multiplier effect against goblin species could amplify all gain effects.

For instance, the enhancement from the White Magic Wand to Spells, the boost in the sub-core Spell slot, the effect of Spell Mastery, and any subsequent gain effects that may appear, as long as facing goblins, could enjoy this gain.

Thus it seemed to be a mere 10% increase, seemingly inconspicuous, but in fact not at all.

As for the second change, it was the addition of a new entry [Bloodthirst].

Similarly aimed at goblins, and fitting him well.

Upon killing, there is a probability to replenish 2% of stamina.

However, Gauss pondered for a moment.

He felt that in the short term, the effect of Bloodthirst might not be too obvious, but he didn’t underestimate this effect because of it.

He is not a short-sighted person.

2%, for now, may be a bit small, but imagine in the future, when his title is further enhanced, according to Effect 1 [Star Destruction] experience, this Effect 2 [Bloodthirst] value is sure to further increase.
