The biggest change was Wen Xishu's Slaughter Tower Level, which leveled up directly to Level 29, with the Slaughter Value limit increasing from 200 points to 460 points.
Now Wen Xishu is capable of dealing with some fairly powerful elite beings.
Another gain was the item and sequence slots; the sequence slots turned into 8, and the item slots became 12.
This gives Wen Xishu more opportunities to utilize.
But the rewards this time were not limited to just that, for defeating Sagittarius also granted Wen Xishu an extremely special constellation rune—Rage Stacking.
The Slaughter Sequence Rune can only be embedded in the Slaughter Runes.
Constellation Rune · Rage Stacking Rune Description:
"If my first arrow doesn't kill you, the next one surely will!"
Rune Acquisition Method: The earliest human recognized by the Sagittarius has a certain chance to obtain it.
Rune Effect: "When you are in a state of rage, the next sequence attack after loading this rune will undoubtedly improve compared to the last attack."
The arrows of Sagittarius, each more lethal than the last. Such a trait is actually a rune effect.
Without hesitation, Wen Xishu embedded the rune into his ultimate kick.
This is indeed a conceptual level of power; the old headmaster might not have obtained this rune, if he did... it can be said that maintaining anger, upon reaching the required attack count, could break the limits.
Of course, Wen Xishu's gains don't stop here.
The red Deceitful Head spoke:
"How is it, quite a surprise, isn't it? But there's still more surprise waiting for you."
The black Deceitful Head wanted to speak but ultimately didn't voice it. He gazed at Wen Xishu with a forlorn look, like saying "I was here first."
Wen Xishu couldn't be bothered with this drama, so he said:
"I remember Sagittarius said he could assist me."
"Yes, this power is called Starlight."
The red Deceitful Head very efficiently took out a die, a twelve-sided die.
But all other sides had no content, only one side was engraved with a "crossbow" icon.
"Here you go, technically speaking, this should belong to Mr. Albert, but because you established a deeper destiny connection with Lord Sagittarius, this thing came to you. Moreover… Mr. Albert seems not to need this kind of aid."
Wen Xishu quickly understood the attributes of this die. Although it's called a die, it actually resembles an accessory, a totem.
Orange Item · Starlight.
Effect: D-Class effect, consumes all Tower Power Value to summon a full-force attack of the constellation. It will also consume all the yields of the next Deceit Tower.
At first glance, this effect seems hardly cost-effective.
But Wen Xishu took a closer look and quickly realized this thing is actually tiered.
C-Class effect, when your expected completion level is Level 5, you can consume all Tower Power Value (minimum of five points) to summon a full-force attack of the constellation (limited to once per Deceit Tower challenge).
B-Class effect, when your expected completion level is Level 6, you can consume half of the Tower Power Value (minimum of three points) to summon a full-force attack of the constellation (limited to once per Deceit Tower challenge).
A-Class effect, when your expected completion level is Level 7, you can consume one point of Tower Power Value to summon a full-force attack of the constellation (limited to once per Deceit Tower challenge).
S-Class effect, when you achieve perfect obsession elimination (ignoring completion grade, judged only by the best performance capability), you will summon a full-force attack of the constellation without spending any Tower Power Value.
Wen Xishu understood:
"This thing must be connected to the extent of my exploration of the Deceit Tower. The closer my exploration is to perfection, the less consumption... even if I achieved something like when I helped several assassins defeat Cain not long ago..."
"Will I get a free constellation full-force attack?"
The red Deceitful Head nodded:
"Yes."
Wen Xishu said:
"But on the other hand, if I achieve perfection, would I still need its help?"
The red Deceitful Head laughed:
"If you are just one arrow away from achieving perfection in your Deceit Tower exploration, then why not use your Tower Power Value to summon that one arrow. After all—once you achieve perfection, there will be no further consumption."
Wen Xishu completely understood.
This assistance is indeed significant. One could say, in future Deceit Tower explorations, whenever there are obstacles in combat power that prevent achieving perfection, they can be solved with Sagittarius's help.
The core significance of this item is essentially to encourage Deceit Tower explorers to clear the Tower challenges thoroughly, relying as little as possible on invitation letters, but rather striving to break through the Tower's stages completely.
With this item, Wen Xishu now has a fallback "guardian deity."
This item's strength is almost on par with Albert's fist.
In the future, when he climbs to the high-level Deceit Tower, encounters Saviors, or top-tier uncanny tales, he would have a safeguard.
Looking at this round of gains, Wen Xishu is already eagerly looking forward to starting his next Deceit Tower journey.
