[ Abyssal Venom Crystal ]
[ A rare ore formed after absorbing the venom of an Abyss Devil Centipede over many years. ]
[ Consuming it grants a 99% chance of acquiring the skill: Abyssal Venom. ]
Liam could hardly believe what he was seeing.
"Damn my talent is so powerful and broken"
That was something he had never considered before.
If it worked on this crystal, then perhaps it could also affect the success rate of other treasures, evolutions, or even rare opportunities in the future.
He carefully stored the crystal inside his inventory instead of consuming it immediately.
There were still many crystals embedded in the cave wall.
Liam quickly mined every Abyssal Venom Crystal he could find.
Soon, more than twenty crystals filled one corner of his inventory.
Looking at the pile, Liam smiled.
"I’ve found a treasure."
Liam looked around one last time, hoping to find another treasure, but after searching the surrounding area, he found nothing else of value.
Seeing that the day was coming to an end, he decided to return to his temporary shelter.
His hideout was an abandoned Cave Rat burrow that he had cleared out on his first day.
Although it was small, it was well hidden and easy to defend.
After arriving, Liam took several Abyss Devil Centipede Venom Sacs out of his storage pouch.
He carefully squeezed the venom around the entrance of the burrow, creating a poisonous barrier.
The strong scent of the venom quickly spread through the area.
Most cave monsters instinctively avoided the smell of an Abyss Devil Centipede, making it an effective deterrent.
Satisfied with his preparations, Liam flew inside the burrow.
Only then did he take out the pile of Abyssal Venom Crystals he had collected.
The dark purple crystals gave off a faint glow, illuminating the small burrow with a dim violet light.
Liam looked at them thoughtfully.
"Let’s see if they really can give me a new skill."
He picked up one of the crystals and began absorbing it.
Unlike humans, a Cursed Eye had no mouth or digestive system.
It survived by absorbing the energy contained within monster cores and other energy-rich materials.
The Abyssal Venom Crystal was no different.
As Liam focused on it, the purple crystal slowly dissolved into countless tiny particles of light.
The energy flowed into his body through his single eye.
A few seconds later, the crystal had completely disappeared.
A notification appeared before him.
[ You have acquired the skill: Abyssal Venom. ]
Liam looked at the notification with satisfaction.
And then he immediately opened the skill description.
Abyssal Venom (Lv.1)
Type: Passive Skill
Description:
The user’s body permanently possesses Abyssal Venom.
All poison-based attacks become stronger and more difficult to resist.
The user gains high resistance to poison and toxic environments.
Power increases with skill level.
Liam nodded.
"This works well with all of my poison skills."
Without wasting any time, he activated Reality Reversal.
His target was the skill’s level.
Abyssal Venom (Lv.1).
A familiar warmth spread through his body.
At the same time, countless insights flowed into his mind.
He instinctively understood every property of the venom.
Its toxicity.
Its spread.
Its resistance.
Its interaction with other poisons.
A few seconds later, the process came to an end.
Several notifications appeared before him.
[ Reality Reversal successful. ]
[ Abyssal Venom has been reversed. ]
[ Skill Level: 1 → 10 (MAX) ]
Liam immediately opened the updated skill description.
Abyssal Venom (Lv.10 - MAX)
Type: Passive Skill
Description:
Your body has completely fused with Abyssal Venom.
All poison-type skills deal greatly increased damage and are far more difficult to resist.
At maximum level, the skill gains additional effects.
Effects:
Complete Immunity to ordinary poisons.
Greatly increased resistance against all venom and toxins.
All poison attacks inflict Corrosion, slowly weakening the target’s physical defense.
Poison duration is significantly increased.
Poison spread is greatly accelerated.
Repeated poison applications stack instead of replacing one another.
A small amount of poison damage ignores the target’s poison resistance.
Power scales with Intelligence.
Liam carefully read through every effect.
"This is even better than I expected."
His Poison Curse would now become much deadlier.
Abyss Venom Domain would also benefit from every enhancement granted by the passive skill.
Even ordinary poison from monsters or treasures would become stronger when used by him.
Liam checked his Talent once more.
Reality Reversal: 2/5 Uses Remaining Today.
Only two use remained before Reality Reversal refreshed the next day.
Liam took out one of the Abyssal Venom Crystal and looked at it.
Instead of using his Talent on its success rate again, a different idea came to mind.
"What if I use it on the crystal itself?"
He immediately activated Reality Reversal.
This time, the target was the crystal.
A silver light enveloped the dark purple crystal.
The poisonous aura surrounding it gradually faded.
Its color slowly changed from deep purple to a pure crystal blue.
The crystal’s rough surface became smooth and transparent, while a gentle white light radiated from within.
A few moments later, the transformation was complete.
A notification appeared before Liam.
[ Reality Reversal successful. ]
[ Abyssal Venom Crystal has been reversed. ]
[ Abyssal Venom Crystal → Divine Dew Crystal ]
Liam quickly activated Appraisal.
[ Divine Dew Crystal ]
Rank: Rare
Description:
A holy crystal born from the absorbing the blessed water from the Divine lake born where the Holy Emerald Swan lives.
It contains the pure essence of Life Energy.
Consuming the crystal grants a high chance of acquiring the skill Divine Dew.
Liam grinned.
"Hehe, nice now I also got the healing skill.... hopefully"
He don’t know if the Divine Dew is an healing skill or not.
Without wasting any time, he absorbed the crystal.
The crystal dissolved into countless blue particles that flowed into his body.
A warm and refreshing feeling spread throughout him.
A notification appeared.
[ You have acquired the skill: Divine Dew. ]
Liam immediately opened the skill description.
Divine Dew (Lv.1)
Type: Active Skill
Description:
Condense purified life energy into drops of Divine Dew.
Divine Dew removes poison, curses, diseases, and other negative status effects from the target.
It also restores a Medium amount of health and vitality.
Potency increases with Intelligence and skill level.
Mana Cost: Medium.
Cooldown: 10 Seconds.
Liam read the description carefully.
"This is the complete opposite of Abyssal Venom."
One skill specialized in inflicting poison and weakening enemies.
The other specialized in cleansing negative effects and healing.
It was a perfect balance.
Although he could not speak in his Cursed Eye form, he couldn’t help feeling excited.
His Talent had once again exceeded his expectations.
It had not simply strengthened an item.
It had transformed poison into healing.
That meant Reality Reversal truly could reverse the very nature of things.
As long as he understood what could be reversed and had enough authority, the possibilities of the Talent were almost endless.
