Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 14 Yue Chen
"Harvest Month?" Lu Cang asked in a puzzled tone.

Iz looked at Lu Cang, her expression somewhat surprised...

"You don't know about Harvest Month?"

Oops, it seems I accidentally asked a really weird question.

They still aren't careful enough with their words and actions.

As Lu Cang was pondering how to smooth things over, Iz stroked her chin thoughtfully: "That's true... there may be places in this world that even the power of God cannot cover."

"You actually came all the way from that far away..."

Iz let out a soft sigh.

so close……

It seems I managed to get away with it. Although he's a good person, I still have a bad feeling if he finds out I don't actually belong to this world...

It's best to keep your identity as a transmigrator hidden until you've fully familiarized yourself with this world.

"Harvest Month, its full name is Lucky Harvest Month."

"It often occurs in the ninth month of the year, and the moon is Jacaticto."

What is the moon...?

What is Yacaticto?

Lu Cang was also curious about these questions, but he decided to save them for when he had time to read the book.

What Izzy said is common sense.

That should be easy to find in the book.

Izzy continued her explanation: "During this month, there will be more resources from various sources, making it easier to obtain higher-value treasures. Rare drops that shouldn't exist will also appear on ordinary monsters."

"Therefore, adventurers often flock to the dungeons to explore during this season."

It sounds like some kind of increased drop rate bonus...

However, I also feel that there are many hidden dangers.

It fuels adventurers' desire to explore dungeons, but greed might lead them to their deaths...

It feels like some kind of trap.

"If the harvest month comes early, we should also prepare to explore large dungeons."

"However, of course not now."

Iz retrieved all the Shadow Cheetah corpses into her storage space.

Lu Cang and he continued walking deeper into the area.

This dungeon is different from the one I encountered when I first entered the world.

So far, I haven't seen a single fork in the road.

When I first arrived in this underground city, it was a maze of interconnected paths, with different intersections everywhere, making it dizzying to look at.

Now, this underground city has almost straight passages, and the traps are clearly visible under the illumination spell.

Lu Cang and Iz explored further inland and encountered other monsters.

Eight shadow cheetahs.

Two Shadow Spiders...

Upon seeing a spider several times its own size, Lu Cang jumped up in fright.

But the next second, Lu Cang raised his hand and fired seven fireballs at the same time onto the spider's body.

The area was engulfed in intense flames.

The spider was burned to a crisp.

Lu Cang's fireball spell was far more powerful than that of an ordinary mage.

So far in this dungeon, Lu Cang has not encountered a monster that he cannot kill with a single spell.

It seems...

As proficiency levels increase, the power of magic also increases significantly.

According to Izzy, if this Shadow Spider were a regular level 1 mage...

It would take at least thirty to forty fireballs to kill it.

Lu Cang's seven consecutive fireballs were able to instantly kill it.

The second time he encountered the Shadow Spider, Lu Cang deliberately controlled the number of fireballs that hit him.

A fireball...

It wasn't an instant kill, but it was engulfed in flames and was howling in pain.

As it fired shadow spider silk from its tail at Lu Cang, Lu Cang immediately followed with a second fireball.

The spider silk was instantly burned away upon contact with the fireball.

The fireball, still powerful, continued to strike the Shadow Spider.

boom!
The Shadow Spider, engulfed in flames, collapsed to the ground, no longer able to move.

Two fireballs...

It can take down the Shadow Spider. Other level 1 mages would probably need about 30-40 shots.

In other words, one of my fireballs is equivalent to the intensity of 15 to 20 of someone else's, and seven in a row...

Lu Cang mentally calculated that it was roughly equivalent to the intensity of 95 to 140 rounds.

Moreover, it seems that the first fireball almost killed it, and the second one only dealt the final bit of damage. The actual estimate should be higher.

In other words, the destructive power of one of his spells is more than a hundred times that of other mages of the same level.

Is this the benefit of god-like talent?

Lu Cang sighed silently in his heart.

To be honest, I don't really know much about talent.

When I first changed jobs, Kumironi said that the talent system should have a more complex mechanism.

Find some time to study it yourself...

If you can't find the relevant literature, then ask Kumiloni and the others.

Lu Cang still didn't want to expose his shortcomings in "common sense" at will.

Moreover, asking about everything would be annoying, and Lu Cang wanted to minimize the trouble he caused Izzy and the others.

Shadow Spider, Shadow Cheetah, and besides...

I also encountered a Shadow Fiend.

A pure shadow, a dark patch that appears on the wall even under illumination.

It's fortunate that we have lighting technology, otherwise it would have blended completely into the shadows and been completely undetectable.

"Shadow Fiend".

"For a second-tier monster, physical attacks are completely ineffective when it is in shadow form. Magical attacks that target the physical body will also not cause it any damage. Only light-based attacks are effective."

"But in its shadow form, it cannot pose a threat to us in our physical form."

"It will only leave its shadow and attack us when we are not looking at it."

The shadow followed Lu Cang along the wall.

It would occasionally circle around behind Lu Cang, but Lu Cang could always follow its gaze and see its presence.

It doesn't move very fast, so it's easy to spot.

Izzy: "In other words, as long as you keep an eye on it, you're safe even if you can't harm it."

"But in actual combat, the existence of such an enemy is ultimately a threat."

"Come, sing with me."

"Lord of the Dawn, I beseech a ray of light to pierce through the darkness for me."

Lu Cang chanted in the language of Izparut.

A cross-shaped lightsaber materialized in his hand.

"Cross of Light (LV: 5)"

Lu Cang sensed that this cross-shaped lightsaber could be held in his hand for a short time and used as a weapon.

Alternatively, you can simply throw it.

Lu Cang gripped his lightsaber and hurled it at the Shadow Demon!

Ding!
"what--!!"

The crosslight struck the Shadow Demon's body, and a painful howl emanated from the shadow.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow stretched out two dark hands and quickly reached out towards Lu Cang!
Lu Cang retreated in quick succession.

"I pray for light to pierce the darkness."

A lightsaber materialized in his hand once more!

Ding--

The lightsaber pierced one of its arms, rendering the arm immobile.

"Light."

hum-

In Lu Cang's hands, the cross was formed again, brighter and larger!

This time, the shadow suddenly expanded and instantly appeared at Lu Cang's feet.

Suddenly, tiny, dark hands shot out from the earth!
Lu Cang suddenly jumped, and at the same time, his light pierced downwards!
"Cross of Light (LV: 10) - No chanting, a larger cross"

This Light Cross is different from Illumination; it can be cast without chanting.

Whoosh!
boom!
Bang bang bang!
The shadow began to chase Lu Cang swiftly, and Lu Cang also started to run, smashing a cross of light behind him as he ran!
The shadow continued to stretch towards Lu Cang's location, but it would pause every time it was hit by the cross of light.

Moreover, each time Lu Cang releases his Light Cross, its power is much stronger than the last time.

Soon, the Shadow Demon, pinned to the ground by the thirteen glowing crosses, stopped moving completely.

The shadow kept shrinking until it finally turned into a pitch-black skin that fell to the ground in the cave.
