Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1207 - 491: Deep Resonance and Dog Teeth
Previously on Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots...
When the last trace of energy from Sarlin’s memory fragment was completely absorbed by the Silver Pocket Watch, Ron felt a noticeable change.
His Historical Research Skills experienced a qualitative leap in this practical infiltration of a historical event.
[Historical Research Experience Points + 1]
[Historical Research Experience Points + 1]
[Historical Research Experience Points + 1]
...
[Breakthrough! Historical Research (Proficient 100/100) → Elemental Perception (Mastery 1/200)]
[Trait "Sensing Power" → "Deep Resonance"]
[Deep Resonance: Enhanced ability to read memory fragments;
Can temporarily summon usable historical projections in battle]
"Deep Resonance..."
A new explanation appeared before him again:
[Currently available projection: Sarlin Visterra (Purified Version)
Power Level: Equivalent to the summoner’s power level, but skill mastery will restore projection’s original form to some extent
Summon Duration: Determined by the remaining Magic Power and Spiritual Power
Cooldown Period: 24 hours
Note: Each summoning will consume a significant amount of Spiritual Power and Magic Power, please use cautiously]
As the trait advanced, a peculiar "storage space" began to emerge deep in his consciousness.
It was a void realm composed of silvery mist.
In the center of this realm, a translucent figure silently hovered.
That was Sarlin’s historical projection, but it was completely different from the malevolent presence he had encountered earlier.
After Nari’s concept separation and purification process, the current projection was like an exquisite artwork.
It retained its original form and capability traits, but all malice and contamination had been thoroughly eliminated.
Ron carefully perceived the operating mechanism of this new trait.
Unlike traditional summoning magic, Deep Resonance doesn’t summon external beings, but rather historical fragments he obtained through "predation."
These projections were entirely under his control, with no risk of betrayal or going out of control.
Correspondingly, however, maintaining their existence requires ongoing energy consumption.
"The strategic value of this trait..."
He evaluated in his mind:
"Not only can I gain extra combat strength at critical moments, but these projections also retain the knowledge and skills from their lifetime."
"The Spiritual Contamination techniques that Sarlin mastered can now be used by me.
And since it’s a historical projection, even if destroyed in battle, no real casualties occur."
Simultaneously, with the complete absorption of Sarlin’s residual fragments, Ron also began to feel a subtle "feedback."
He could vaguely sense the actual body of Sarlin in the Abyss experiencing something.
It was an indescribable sense of weakness, as if some force was extracting a part of her life essence.
"An interesting chain reaction..."
Aselia, unnoticed by Nari, quietly commented in his consciousness:
"It seems the special ability Erica gave you not only affects historical projections but also directly impacts the original body."
"What does this mean?"
"It means you now have a brand new tactical option."
The voice of Dragon Soul was full of excitement:
"Through preying on historical projections, you can weaken an enemy’s actual power without direct contact.
This long-range weakening effect may be more valuable than direct attacks in some scenarios."
Ron nodded and began contemplating specific applications of this ability.
When facing powerful enemies, if a way to obtain their historical projection can be found, the enemy can be weakened before direct confrontation even begins.
Moreover, this weakening is continuous and not recoverable by ordinary healing.
"Of course, this also means I need to use this ability more cautiously."
He reminded himself in his mind:
"Sarlin must have noticed the anomaly by now.
This counts as a sort of stirring the grass to frighten the snake; she will undoubtedly become more vigilant henceforth."
Just as Ron was absorbed in analyzing the new trait, Nari’s slightly dissatisfied voice echoed in the consciousness space.
"My darling..."
Nari’s tone carried a distinct resentment:
"Have you forgotten something? How many days has it been since you last came to see Mother since you left?"
Though she had just "ripped apart" an Apostle, Nari was evidently more concerned about the familial bond between herself and her child.
Her tentacles waved in the air continually, with motions nearly akin to a playful pout.
Only then did Ron realize that he had indeed not proactively contacted Nari for some time now.
Since returning from the Quicksand Lands, he had been busy dealing with Cassandra’s project and preparing for his transition to Historian.
In this tense rhythm, he nearly forgot about daily interactions with "Mother."
"Mother, I have been very busy lately..."
He tried to explain, with an apologetic tone:
"Preparing to become a Historian is more complicated than I imagined, and Cassandra Tower Master’s project also demands a lot of energy..."
But Nari was clearly dissatisfied with this explanation.
Her voice became more wistful:
"Busy is always an excuse, child.
Other Apostles have their followers regularly offer worship, offerings, and respect."
"Only my child is the least considerate, complaining about clinginess even after being rescued..."
This playful complaint made Ron feel both warm and guilty.
Though Nari had grown into a terrifying presence not much inferior to the Supreme Apostle, she still expressed emotions with a childish innocence.
At this moment, her only request was for the simplest companionship.
"Mother, I promise you..."
Ron earnestly committed:
