055. Synthesis of Skills (1)
Mastery Nogada was as easy as I thought.
While resting, he hunts down skeletons and kills them whenever guardians are created.
「Skill proficiency increases by 0.08%」
「Skill proficiency increases by 1.2%…」
「Skill proficiency increases by 1.2%…」
Since it was a simple repetitive task, there was nothing too difficult.
Rather, it was just fun to be able to easily raise the proficiency with something like this.
Even…
「Strength increased by 4」
「Agility increased by 3」
「Stamina increased by 5」
「Magic power increased by 4」
「Durability increased by 5」
Other additional stats I was also able to raise them quite a bit.
Of course, the command that was absorbed from the ‘Maw of Blue Scar’ was also converted into a stat… Even
considering that, the stat increase rate was quite good.
Did you say that the dust was collected and called Taishan?
‘That’s right.’
After catching dozens of skeletons and hunting guardians all the time, his stats rose considerably.
And…
「The mastery of the unique property ‘Necromancy’ has reached 100%.」
「The grade of the unique property ‘Necromancy’ has risen by one level.]
The longed-for growth of the unique property will soon be achieved. could
‘Is the level of Necromancy now C-class…?’
Reading the message that popped up in front of my eyes, I smiled softly.
I was proud to think that a new ability had been added.
‘I’ll have to check it out when I go back to the waiting room.’
That was the moment.
“Crazy… freak…”
cried the lich, whose limbs had been shattered in an attempt to escape.
“Even the devil is like a man who will beat him…. I will curse him even after he dies…”
It was the words he uttered only when he was about to die because his whole body cracked.
I don’t know if it’s because I broke all the limbs or if there were restrictions on raising the guardian…
‘I’m sure I’ll die soon as I see more and more gold on my body every time I summon it.’
Looking at such a rich, I felt regret and licked my lips.
“…”
I wondered if I could use it a little more, but now it doesn’t seem possible.
‘I wanted to raise my proficiency even by a few percent, but it won’t work.’
If I watched more people die, I couldn’t even absorb the command.
Necromancy is because I can only absorb the spirit if I kill it myself.
“Meeting… it was disgusting, human… I hope we don’t run into each other in the afterlife…”
The lich was muttering something hateful, perhaps feeling death… but…
‘I don’t really want to hear it It’s not.’
Soon, I approached the lich who was leaving a will and slammed the sword into his head.
“Absorbed the Lich’s command.”
“Skill increases by 17.4%.”
Pagaga-!
「Achievement of ‘personality beyond the devil’ has been achieved.」
「Agility increases by 1.」
As if to announce the end of the ordeal on the 8th floor, messages came to mind as the bones of the skull shattered.
“Congratulations, you have broken through the 8th floor of the Tower of Trials.”
“As a breakthrough reward, all stats increase
by +2.” “You have acquired ‘30000 points’
as a breakthrough reward.” .」
「You acquired ‘300 SP’ as an additional breakthrough reward.」
「Go to the waiting room.」
“Finally, the 8th floor trial is over.”
It was an ordeal that allowed me to suck honey for a long time because there was no time limit.
Should I say it’s like a bonus stage?
It felt as if the confusion I had experienced while meeting the iron-blooded lord was all sorted out.
‘Let’s think about something I can’t help with, such as a challenger to the other world.’
Soon, other challengers will know about the ‘challenger of the other world’, even if it’s not me.
It will be even more so now that ‘layer intrusion’ has been activated.
‘So until then, I have to grow as much as I can.’
Climbing the tower is a shortcut to becoming stronger and a means to learn many things.
So…
‘I just need to climb the tower like I’ve always wanted.’
There was nothing more to worry about.
All I have to do now is to quietly go on this path.
“We move to the waiting room.”
That was the conclusion I came to.
***
“You have entered the waiting room on the 9th floor.”
“System expansion begins.”
“Managers will be able to observe the trials.”
“Question box answer restrictions are lifted.”
“C-class skills in the skill shop. When I returned
to the waiting room, the system expanded and all sorts of messages came to my mind… But
instead of paying attention to those messages, I immediately opened the status window.
『Han Seong-yoon』
『Halo – Ruler』
『Muscle – 67』 『Stamina – 66』
『Agility – 66』 『Magic Power – 63』 『
Endurance – 63』
『Unique Attribute – Necromancy (C)』
『Inherited Authority – Skill Synthesis 』
『Authority – Clear View Index (C-)』
『Skill – Look closely』
A lot of stats went up, but the most important thing was necromancy.
『Unique Attribute – Necromancy (C)』
『Proficiency level – 0%』
『Basic Effect – Absorbs the soul of the dead to strengthen and supplement something such as ability or magical power.』
『Additional Effect – Using the soul of the dead Can raise one dead nearby. At this time, the level of the deceased is proportional to the quality and quantity of the consumed spirit.』
『Detailed effect (1) – The value of the permanent ability increase is proportional to the rank of the characteristic and the quality of the spirit.』
『Detailed effect (2) – You can use the soul after storing it, and the limit of the storage capacity is proportional to the rank.”
『Detailed effect (3)- When absorbing the soul of the dead, there is a 20% chance to acquire one of the skills imprinted on the soul. There is.』
『Detailed effect (4) – Protects the body by using the soul of the dead. However, at this time, the amount of energy consumed by the shield is proportional to the amount of impact.』
『Detailed effect (5) – When a skill is absorbed from the soul of the dead, the proficiency of the skill can be inherited as it is.』
New detailed effects of necromancy within I couldn’t help but open my eyes.
“…”
Explains that when absorbing a skill, the proficiency is brought back as it is.
When I saw that, I immediately laughed hysterically.
‘Inheritance of skill proficiency…’
Even if not, fraudulent skill absorption is skill proficiency succession.
It didn’t have that special ability, but it was useful enough.
‘I’ll get more skills later…’
At least it was rewarding to raise the grade of Necromancy to C grade.
Even that was not the only change in necromancy.
『When absorbing the soul of the dead, you can acquire one of the skills imprinted on the soul with a 20% chance.』
Originally, the exact number was revealed in the part where it was written as ‘constant probability’.
In other words, the skill absorption probability was revealed.
‘I’ve thought about it before, but… The probability of skill absorption is definitely high.’
Originally, I thought it would be absorbed with a probability of less than 10% because of its fraudulent ability
.
‘Now I don’t have to look at the unique characteristics anymore.’
Confirming that nothing much had changed, I turned my gaze elsewhere.
As always, it was decided what to do after confirming that I had grown.
「Shop」
「Category: Weapon」
「Category: Defense」
「Category: Skill」
「Category: Miscellaneous Goods」
I had to prepare for the 9th floor trials according to my growth.
“The sword can still be used a little more, but the problem is the shield and skills…”
There were quite a few vague parts about shields and skills.
The shield she is currently using has decreased in use, and her hunter-type dagger skills have reached the end of her growth.
In other words, it means that my fighting style will gradually change…
‘What should I do?’
Originally, I wore a shield to protect myself from uncertain threats.
In fact, it also blocked quite a few attacks and reached this point.
However, I have grown to the point where I no longer feel the importance of the shield.
‘As long as I have Necromancy’s shield ability, the shield is no longer important.’
It’s a bit bittersweet, but that’s exactly my current situation.
So how should we fight now?
‘That’s the problem.’
There must be a skill that can replace the hunter-style dagger technique… and
there must be something else to replace the empty seat of the shield.
Only then will my fighting style be established more clearly.
“I can’t help it…”
I sighed and went into the skill shop.
First of all, I had to get something that could replace the Hunter-type dagger technique.
‘If I don’t have the skill, I have no choice but to make it.’
that would be for the best
“You have entered the skill shop.”
“The list of skills available for purchase is displayed.”
“Hmm…”
I frowned as I looked down the list in the skill shop.
There were few skills that could be used more than I thought.
‘No, it’s probably because I don’t have a skill worth using for the price.’
Most of the things in the skill shop were expensive.
Whatever the skill, starting at 10000 points, it was inevitable that it would be expensive.
‘Those who just spent points can’t even buy skills…?’
At least I refrained from eating and bought as few potions as possible
.
I don’t think so.
‘Even those who haven’t received an additional breakthrough reward are probably more like that.’
I would have bought and used anything to survive.
So it would be difficult to use something like a skill shop.
‘Well, where would anyone use a skill shop…’
Except for a special case like me, who couldn’t acquire skills at all, there was no one to buy skills.
Anyway, skills can be acquired through ‘repeat actions’ and ‘acquisition conditions’.
Failure to do so meant that he had no aptitude for the skill he was trying to learn, so there was no way he had any regrets.
As such, no one would use the skill shop except for special skills.
Of course…
‘Though I’m unable to acquire skills, that’s not the case.’
Since I had no choice but to use the skill shop, I quietly picked out a skill worth buying.
And…
「Skill: Common swordsmanship (E-)」
「Price: 25000 points」
「Description: Common swordsmanship containing the basic skills of all swordsmanship. Basic knowledge of all types of swordsmanship increases, and cutting power increases by 1.5 times when using swords
.”
Soon, among the weapon skills in the skill shop, I found a good one.
Of course, there were other weapon techniques besides this, but those were excluded.
Because…
‘If you want to increase the level of Hunter-style dagger technique through skill synthesis, you have to think about combinations.’
Because now I’m going to ‘Synthesize Skills’ with the skills I bought at the Skill Shop.
Did I say simple is the best choice?
Common swordsmanship is a skill acquired by most people who are proficient in swords.
In other words, even if you combine it with a dagger skill, it doesn’t matter too much.
“You have purchased a common swordsmanship (E-).”
“25000 points will be deducted.”
After buying the skill, I then opened a detailed description of the common swordsmanship.
『Skill – Common swordsmanship (E-)』
『Proficiency level – 0%』
『Description – A common swordsmanship that contains the basic skills of all swordsmanship.』
『Effects – Increases basic knowledge of all swordsmanship and increases cutting power by 1.5 times when using swords. .However, this increase in cutting power does not overlap with other weapon skill effects.”
Since all skills related to weapon skills are expensive, a lot of points have been deducted, but…
‘It’s a pretty good skill considering that.’
The compatibility of skill combinations is the same as that of being able to acquire ‘the basic skills of all swordsmanship’.
No matter what sword you use, you will be able to handle it well, and the skill effect will be applied.
Should I say that it is worth the point value for versatility?
‘At this level, the hunter-style dagger technique will come out better.’
After making that decision, I immediately activated ‘Skill Synthesis’.
「Inherent authority ‘Skill Synthesis’ is activated.」
「Browse the skill list.」
「Please choose a synthesis material from among the existing skills.」
It was decided what to choose.
After choosing a hunter-style dagger technique and a common sword technique, a message popped up.
「The levels of synthetic materials do not match.」
「The skill ‘Hunter Style Dagger Art’ is the center of synthesis.」
‘Is this what happens when skills are of different grades…?
‘ The skill synthesis proceeds.」 「Currently
, there
is a 75% chance of synthesizing higher-level skills.
」
Without any hesitation, I immediately responded to the message asking if I would proceed with synthesis.
Then…
“Skill synthesis has been completed.”
“A new skill will be created.”
Then, a message popped up and began to radiate golden light.
That’s what it means…
the long-awaited ‘new weapon technology’ has been successfully created.
