Chapter 70: New Skills and Status Screen
After the run in with the Demons the group from Kalpa continued on their journey back home. Two months had passed since then and during this time everyone has been cultivating. When traveling over long distances cultivation sessions always helped time pass quickly.
Currently on top of the ship's barrier Akasha sat cross-legged. For the last two months he had been comprehending the rules of space. The progress he made during this time was nothing short of absurd. Before they left Kalpa his 'Law of Eternal Space' was only at 15%. Now it was at a staggering 30%.
This may not seem to be a lot, but one must know that comprehending the rules is not something that can be done in just a few months. And the craziest thing about it is Akasha relied purely on his comprehension for the last 15%. He had never used anything that could help his comprehension, nor did he plunder.
With purely talent and comprehension he was able to make progress that would normally take years without the use of external helps. Now Akasha sat contemplating on which skills he should add to his arsenal.
"I have way too many laws and possibilities." He said to himself as he thought which steps to take.
[Yes, sometimes having too many options could be a problem in itself. I would advise you to add more levels to some of your existing skills and only focus on one or two new skills.] Luna said while she was still sitting in his lap.
"Alright I will do that. I think I will start making a sword skill. I unlocked 'Sword Aura' a while ago before I even entered the Academy and I still haven't found a good enough sword to use." Akasha said while shaking his head.
Then he refocused himself as he imagined the type of skill he wanted. Creating skills was something that came easy for Akasha. Once he imagined the skill he wanted, he simply added the outline of what he had in mind and then the skill would form itself.
It was as if he has a skilled creator in his head. When he first discovered this, he didn't ask Luna about it and just chalked it up to some bullshit. But now he was becoming more knowledgeable about his weird existence, and it wouldn't be wise to keep putting important things off.
As he imagined the skill he thought of the things he wanted.
'I have infinite mana that I don't use properly. I have been focusing more on combat rather than spamming skills. But I would just be an idiot if I continued to neglect something so broken.
This skill needs to use my mana to its limits!' As he thought of this the skill formed in his mind.
[You have created a new skill - Infinite Sword of Origin]
[Infinite Sword of Origin - Level 1- This ability allows the user to make an infinite number of illusory swords. These swords will be like a never-ending barrage as long as the user has mana.]
'Not bad. This will be a good thing to use against a large number of enemies. Or if I just feel like flexing.' Akasha thought while grinning. He then focused on elevating some of his existing skills.
The first skill he decided to elevate was 'Blink'. This skill was made with the purpose of being nimble and hard to hit when fighting in close combat. It allowed him to do short warps around the battlefield whenever his enemy blinked.
'Blink is still a good skill that I will most likely continue to use from time to time. But there are two levels I had in mind. The first is teleportation. Now that my comprehension into the Rules of Space is a bit deeper now, I should be able to accomplish this. And the second one should be a marking ability.'
As he thought of the skill details two skills began to form in his mind.
[You have created a new skill - Teleportation]
[Teleportation - This ability allows the user to teleport to any location he has seen before or has the coordinates to. As long as the user has mana then he can Teleport.]
[You have created a new skill - Hidden Marker]
[Hidden Marker - This allows the user to mark up to 5 individuals. The mark is completely undetectable and untraceable. This mark allows the user to teleport to the marked individuals bypassing any restrictions. Can also be used as a tracker.]
'Haha! Good! This is exactly what I wanted. Now I need some more offensive skills and maybe defense?'
He then thought about his current offensive skills that he could elevate further.
'Decaying Touch? Nah, it would be better for me to increase my comprehension with Time first. Hmm? I should just make something new and increase the others once my comprehension increases.
For this skill I will combine my Fire, Space and Blood. My comprehension is the highest in these so I should be able to make something pretty unique.'
He took a while to think of what he wanted to make before he decided.
'This ability should bypass all defenses and be an automatic hit. Since my fire can encompass all aspects of fire then I want a devouring fire. A fire that burns everything it touches to ash!
I want to use my control over blood to cause a paralysis affect. The moment this skill is activated their own blood should move in rebellion against them. And lastly, I will use Space to bypass even distance itself.
Wherever my target is the skill will reach. The fire should ignite from the inside and burn the targets blood and continue burning until nothing is left.'
After he finished thinking another skill formed in his mind.
[You have created a new skill - Eternal Burning Blood.]
'Perfect! Although the naming could use a bit of work everything else is fine. Now I should check my status.'
'Status!'
