Chapter 402: 142. Noland the Great Swindler
[Name] Mutated Tentacle
[Type] Mutated Extraterrestrial Space Pollution Product
[Combat Level] Unknown
[Features]
Corrupted Soul, Invalidated.
One Body, Two Sides, Invalidated.
Damage Transfer, Active.
Starry Skin Texture, Active.
Dusk Will (Very Small Part):
The owner of this tentacle is not Shubick, but Osmisgard Duskgiant. The Dusk Giant has not truly died; it lives in another form. This tentacle is the proof. It is being controlled by the will of the Dusk Giant.
Dusk Essence (Very Small Part):
Before dusk is daytime, after dusk is night.
Daytime represents the growth and revival of life, while night represents the decline and end of life.
Located between day and night, the dusk is both the endpoint for life's growth and the starting point for its decline.
The power of the Dusk Giant lies in the robustness of life and the onset of death.
(Other panel information omitted)
Noland Lee's spellcasting motion faltered slightly, then quickly returned to normal.
With his hands maintaining the casting posture of "Psychic Bombardment," his mind focused on the constantly refreshing panel information.
As the number of "Psychic Bombardment" castings increased, more detailed panel content emerged in his mind.
Following the features "Dusk Will" and "Dusk Essence," a third crucial feature appeared.
This feature was called "Dusk Domination."
The feature's panel stated that mutated tentacles appearing before Noland Lee had split off from the Tentacle Overlord.
After Noland Lee killed the mutated tentacles in front of him with "Psychic Bombardment," the damage would be transferred to the Tentacle Overlord, helping it increase its psychic attack resistance.
Thinking back to the earlier black tentacles, Noland Lee immediately understood what was going on.
The Dusk Giant controlling the mutated tentacles must be fighting against the Shubick Tribal Leader who controlled the black tentacles.
From the information Noland Lee had gathered, the descendants of Shubick, being extraterrestrial space pollutants, had three main modes of attack:
First, use the tentacles as a whip, creating kinetic energy damage.
Second, spray contaminated water from the swollen cells, corrupting people and objects, with unknown damage types.
Third, emit alien space noise similar to the "Whispers of the Old Gods," inflicting damage on the mind and soul.
With their appearance, material, and structure, the Dusk Giant's mutated tentacles were vastly different from the Shubick descendants and could resist their first two attacks.
Among Shubick's offspring's three methods of attack, only the third - emitting Alien Space Noise - could effectively kill mutated tentacles. Because this attack penetrated the mutated tentacles' outer shell and directly assailed the Dusk Giant's mind and soul.
So, in summary:
The Dusk Giant brought mutated tentacles to Noland Lee to help stack the mental attack resistance of the Tentacle Overlord to withstand Shubick's Alien Space Noise.
Noland Lee paused, a bolt of lightning flashing through his mind.
If this was truly the case, wouldn't it be better to help the Dusk Giant stack soul attack resistance?
"Soul Shield" could block 100% of Alien Space Noise, while "Mental Shield" could only block 50%. By the same logic, the resistance to soul attacks would certainly be stronger than that of mental attacks.
Did he have any spells targeting the soul?
Noland Lee pondered secretly and glanced at his spell list.
As it turned out,
He indeed had a spell targeting the soul, and it was the only one.
That was "Soul Freeze."
This magic spell came from the Soul Contract signed after Noland Lee Jarvis
made a vengeance contract with his Original Master.
Since the spell's casting range was extremely limited and required Noland Lee to
be in close contact with the enemy, he had not used it much.
Up to now, besides this magic spell, only "Soul Bribery," "Limb Attachment Technique," and other unpopular spells remained at Level 1.
Noland Lee pondered and invested 450 Points of Energy into "Soul Freeze,"
raising it to Level 10.
First, let's see the additional rewards for leveling up to 10 before deciding whether to invest energy points or not.

from pointing forward with his
fingers to reaching out to grab the mutated tentacle. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
