I walked towards the end of the sewer, to get out of this damned city. Now I don't use the Shroud of Augustas, because I keep the broken artifact in the Treasure House which can repair all the objects stored in it. As I walked, I prepared myself for the fight that was about to happen.
I took out a Skill book, this is the book I got from the Skyseal Family's Treasure Storage Room.
[Skillbook : Evil Hand ]
[Do you want to learn the Evil Hand ?]
[Yes][No]
"Why is there no description? Yesterday Devourer was there. ”
I've been confronted with a Skill Book that I can study, after getting the Devourer. I just found out, not all skill books are displayed in the description by the system. But for me this time it doesn't matter, because I already know what kind of skill Evil Hand is. This Skill was very often used by David the Sword Sinner when dealing with me in the past..
"I will study it.”
[Skills : Evil Hand , learned.]
[ Evil Hands ]
Rank : Legend
Levels : 1
Energy : Mana
Element : Darkness
Type : Active Skills
Functions : envelops the user's left hand in darkness and renders it indestructible.
“Name and Rank are completely out of sync with their function.”
But this Skill will be very useful if the user can use it very well. Next I took out another skill book.
[Skill Book : Acceleration ]
[Do you want to learn the Acceleration ?]
[Yes][No]
“It turns out that I can also learn this skill.”
To learn the skill, you need class and affinity. A magician can only learn magic skills that use mana energy, a martial artist can only learn martial skills that use satamina energy, that is a class based limitation. As for affinity, people with darkness affinity could only learn darkness elemental skills, but could not learn elemental skills outside their affinity. The fact that I, who only had darkness affinity but could learn various skills, must be because my class gave freedom to use all kinds of skills.
“This is the skill that bothered me the most against David. So of course I will learn.”
[Skills: Acceleration , learned.]
[ Acceleration ]
Rank : Epic
Level : 1
Energy : Mana and Stamina
Elements : -
Type : Active Skills
Functions : While accelerating the user's body and mind so that the world around them appears to be running slowly.
I can't help but scratch my head seeing this. “Only Epic for a skill this good? But the legend for a skill that can only strengthen one hand. It's a really weird system.”
Without thinking twice I immediately maximized my two skills.
[ Evil Hands ]
Level : 1 -> Maximum
[ Acceleration ]
Level : 1 -> Maximum
[ Points : 10 ]
[Points in Devourer : 2 ]
Mythical , Legend, or Epic, leveling up the gaze skill only requires one point to go up one level. Even the eighth to the ninth level still requires only one point. Even though getting just that one point was quite difficult, just staring at something like this would make it easier for people with high ranked skills. This system- not only the system but also the world itself is so unfair.
Once again I took out an item, but not the skill book. It was a sword, though not an artifact but just an ordinary magic item.
[ Bloodlust ]
Levels : 400
Elements : Darkness
Passive Skill : Targets injured by Bloodlust will continue to bleed and will never heal, and can only be healed by people with a light affinity of level 400 and above.
I will not use this sword, but will combine it with the Myriad Blade using the Combination skill.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
[Uses Combination on Bloodlust and Myriad Blade.]
Success.
[Please give your new artifact a name.]
“I thought this would be some sort of semi-artifact, but it isn't. I will name it Myriad Blood . ”
[Myriad Blood.]
An artifact that originated from the fusion of Myriad Blade and Bloodlust.
Active Skills : creates an unlimited number of blades .
Passive Skill : Targets injured by Myriad Blood will continue to bleed and will never heal.
“This is absolutely crazy!!“ I was screaming to see the results that greatly exceeded expectations.
I thought that when these two things were combined, the result would also have the flaws of the original two, but those flaws are now gone. And leaving only the excess alone.
“This is the Skill of the Treasure Emperor, extraordinary beyond reason.”
Although this makes me happy, it also makes me scared. Since Treasure Empeor is the class I got from the weakest World Calamity Monster, doesn't that mean the other five are stronger Classes than this? Thinking this I feel my future looks difficult.
On the way, I picked up Augustas' body. I plan to cremate him, after all I am a person who likes true heroes.
I finally came to the end of the sewer, but it was closed by iron bars. Using Myriad Blood to create blades, I easily slashed through the iron bars to allow me to pass. After fusing with Bloodlust, the blade of Myriad Blade has a reddish-purple aura.
Walking out, I was immediately greeted by the song of a vulture, and the strong scent of blood. Looking up I saw a black sky filled with dark clouds, looking down I saw rivers of blood with mountains of corpses dotting the ground. That is a view of the former battlefield. Around there were many people separating the monster corpses from the human corpses, when they saw me, they only looked briefly and then continued with their work.
Just walked five steps after exiting the sewer, a silver-haired girl also came out from there. This time everyone present stopped their work and bowed to the girl, for the help she had given them. Calmly without responding to their salute, the girl walked towards me.
I had expected this, even deliberately not hiding myself even though I would be tracked down by her. With my hand I greeted him. "Freya, good night.”
“Good night.” she replied while arriving beside me.
"Want to walk together?”
”I will accept your offer.”
We walked side by side, I asked her a question. “How do you feel against those thousands of monsters? ”
“It's hard.”
“You do n't look troubled at all. There isn't even a scratch on your armor.”
“I mean it's hard to see how many victims there are.”
“Ohh …”
"How about you yourself? How do you feel seeing this ruined city and its scattered corpses.”
"I feel normal.”
"Don't you have any sympathy?”
“Of course I have it, but only for myself.”
“Ohh …”
Want to do it in the sky?”
“Let's do it.”
I took out my vampire wings, I got these after becoming a vampire, and I can use them because vampire instincts were clearly ingrained in me after becoming a vampire. This kind of ability, the normal ability possessed by a race, is not written in the status window because it will only take up space in the status window. After all, it is impossible for trivial skills such as walking, crawling, chewing, speaking, and so on to be written down.
Vampire wings similar to bat wings, on his back, Lucas flew away leaving Freya who was still on the ground.
Someone immediately approached Freya when she saw her suddenly appear from the drain. He was actually the commander of one of the armies owned by Duke Skyseal, but he was assigned to look around the city walls to see if there were any follow-up attacks or not. When he saw Freya, he wanted to quickly greet her for the formalities.
"Miss Freya-"
"Stand back if you don't want to get hurt.” Freya immediately cut his sentence short.
“Eh!” The man still looked confused.
Freya took out two swords and held them with her right and left hands. Seeing that, Lucas created thousands of blades with Myriad Blood, but he only launched one blade at Frya. Seeing an attack coming, Freya swung her sword and parried Lucas' blade, but in the process created an explosion that sent the person beside Freya back.
As a commander, he still managed to land safely, but couldn't help but be aghast by the battle that was about to ensue. Quickly, he gave orders for the people around him to flee.
The Skill could be activated without saying a word, with that Freya silently activated her Skill to fly closer to Lucas. Lucas who wanted to finish the battle without using the Holy Sword, he could only keep his distance while shooting blades of Myriad Blood.
Lucas' barrage of blade shots made it difficult for Freya to get close. Taking a deep breath, Freya then spit out the fire from her mouth and burned all of Lucas' blades. Seeing that there was an empty gap, Freya quickly darted to get closer to Lucas. One slash aimed at him, Lucas who lost all blades quickly used his Evil Hand to parry the attack.
With his left hand that was already blackened by Skill Evil Hand, Lucas proceeded to grip one of Freya's swords. She wanted so badly to draw the sword in her right hand, but when she did, Freya noticed that it was as if her sword was stuck tightly in Lucas' hand. Quickly changing plans, Freya swung the sword in her left hand, but the attack was repelled by the suddenly appearing blade of Myriad Blood.
Seeing the Blade thwart her slash, Freya frantically let go of the sword in her right hand and wanted to retreat immediately, but it was too late, dozens of blades had already been fired by Lucas. With her ridiculous speed and agility, Freya managed to block many of the blades, but one blade stuck in her right hand. Seeing the blade make a mark on Freya's hand, Lucas stopped attacking.
Freya swiftly withdrew the blade from her right hand. But what surprised her, who had super-fast regeneration, the hole in her right hand wouldn't close, instead it was constantly bleeding.
Seeing that, Lucas confidently said. “How about just surrendering and becoming my slave? If this continues you will only die from loss of blood.”
“I refuse.” Freya immediately refused Lucas's offer.
With the sword in her left hand, Freya cut her right hand without blinking or frowning in pain. In less than a second, his right hand which had just been cut off had grown back perfectly.
"Are you a Vampire? Lucas languidly asked.” Even though before the regression he had fought and injured Freya, this was the first time he saw that Freya had the ability to grow her limbs very, very quickly.
“Of course not.”
“Huh…”
"Let's continue the fight."
Freya pulled out another sword to use in her right hand, before using a Skill. The skill Freya used this time was called Shadow Clone, a skill that consumed half of her mana to create a clone of herself that had the exact same power, even though the clone also wore the same equipment. But the clone made by Freya doesn't have its own consciousness, that's why in the end Freya has to rely on her consciousness to move the clone.
Taking out thousands of blades from Myriad Blood, the blades were moved by Lucas to attack the clone and keep it busy, while himself faced Freya. With the sword he snatched from Freya, Lucas swung the blade with his right hand to slash at Freya.
“Want to have a sword duel with me?” Freya mocked Lucas' moves, she had complete faith in her swordsmanship. After all, this was something she was best at.
“You won't be able to beat me.”
Freya, the Sword Saint in Lucas' memory, indeed had extraordinary sword skills, but when facing one on one without using skills and only using a sword, Lucas had the confidence that he would never lose. As a person who only has one Skill, Lucas maximizes his swordsmanship to get stronger. But what disgusted him the most was after that, his swordsmanship was stolen by Freya.
If Freya was a Hero, then Lucas was a Devil, it was normal for them to fight a lot. But in every fight, Freya would always observe, study, absorb every sword art that Lucas had. Lucas didn't notice it at first, but as their battles progressed, Lucas realized that Freya's swordsmanship was similar to him, and it was at this point that he realized that Freya was learning his sword skills. This really disgusted Lucas, how could he not, the sword art that was so difficult for him to cultivate was stolen by his own opponent, and even used against himself.
Their dozens of attacks launched at each other, but Freya was the one who suffered a setback. This was to be expected, considering that the Freya in front of Lucas now wasn't Freya the Sword Saint.
"What is it? Why do you always back off? Where was your confidence earlier?” Lucas goes crazy Mocking Freya.
“Your sword art turned out pretty good.” Freya, who was pushed back, couldn't help but test Lucas' Sword Art.
“Use a Skill, and don't observe my swordsmanship trying to steal it.”
The fact is that Freya did try to steal Lucas' sword art, but her pride wouldn't admit it. "Who is the thief?"
Freya took a deep breath, she tried to spit more flames from her mouth, but Lucas wouldn't allow that. Activating the Acceleration he had just learned, the world around Lucas seemed to slow down while he himself was moving normally. In Lucas' eyes, Freya was now only five centimeters of fire coming out of her mouth. Wanted to fly behind Freya, but it turns out that the time given by Acceleration is very short, and made Lucas only able to be beside Freya.
Even so, Lucas will not waste the opportunity. The first sword swing directly cut Freya's left hand, the second sword swing directly cut Freya's left chest. With Freya so close to him, and the wound he had inflicted on Freya's body, Lucas' Passion Skill - Blood Drain, activated. The blood from Freya's body flew out through the wound towards Lucas, which in the end the blood was used by Lucas the vampire to restore his status.
But the thing that surprised Lucas happened, his status immediately recovered to the top just by receiving a little Freya's blood.
Lucas couldn't help but be flustered. “Is human blood really this good?”
Freya didn't answer Luca's question, because Freya had already flown away.
"You want to run away?"
Lucas immediately flew after Freya, but he immediately felt something was off. If Freya wanted to run away, then she should have flown into the city to get protection from the Knights she brought with her, but she didn't, instead she flew into the forest opposite the city. Even though he felt something strange, Lucas still chased after him, because he really wanted Freya.
While chasing, Lucas saw the state of Clone Freya. During his duel with Freya, Lucas continuously created blades to deal with Freya's clones. Now the result, Freya's clone is full of holes in her body, and also escapes together with the real Freya.
Freya flew very far from the city, until the city was no longer visible. Frya stopped.
He said before using her Skill. “To be honest I really care about this skill, even my own family doesn't know about it and only I know about it. Even if anyone knows about it, it's just a corpse.”
"Hah…?"
“Dragonfication.” When Freya said that, her body underwent a change.
