10-12. New Skills and Confirmations

There’s something I completely forgot about.

Well, it’s actually really important, so I shouldn’t forget it.

There’s just been too much going on…

Oh well.

Even now, let’s confirm my status and skills.

Let me take another look…

==================

Hmm, looking at it again, it’s like, “WTF!?”

What’s with this amount of magic power… 300,000?

Can it even be fully utilized?

And the attack power, what’s going on with that?

Wait, isn’t the defense power surpassing Reizen?

Oh, but that guy has a skill that doubles his own defense power.

Reizen might not be in the final evolution either… Wait a minute.

Didn’t he transform from earth spirit to earth god?

He might be evolving in unknown ways.

Well then, next are the skills.

The new skills are…

==================

<Thunder Dragon>

Skill to create a dragon using thunder.

==================

<Fire Dragon>

Skill to create a dragon using fire.

==================

<Earth Dragon>

Skill to create a dragon using earth.

==================

<Wind Dragon>

Skill to create a dragon using wind.

==================

<Ouryu’s Decision>



==================

It feels like I can create dragons of almost every attribute.

And the Myth skill… It changed again…

When it was Seiryu, it was Seiryu’s Judgment, but now it’s Ouryu’s Decision.

Well, just from the name, it sounds like a skill with a compelling force. It’s kind of scary, isn’t it?

But as usual, there’s no explanation… huh.

I won’t know what kind of skill it is until I use it…

Wait, if just using Seiryu’s Judgment made me sleep for a whole month, I have no idea when I’ll wake up if I use this for real…

I’ll have to determine the right timing to use it.

Though it’s pretty clear it’ll be a do-or-die situation…

…Should I try combining skills after a long time?

Wait, can I even do skill synthesis?

Since that guy isn’t here anymore… Maybe it’s not possible.

Well, let’s give it a try.

I’ve neglected the “Decay” resistance for a long time, so I still have two of them.

There shouldn’t be a problem combining these.

Alright, please combine the two “Decay” resistances!



…………

……………..It’s not working, huh?

The synthesis only worked because of the voice. It seems like it’s not something that can normally be done.

They probably strengthened it for use against the devils, but now that their identities are exposed, they don’t want to enhance us anymore… I guess.

In that case, we’ll have to make the most of the skills we have as they are…

Well, in the end, we just need to prevent their revival.

Once we do that, the abilities we currently possess will be nothing more than decorations.

As long as we don’t fail… That’s the crucial part.

“Houen-“

“What is it?”

“Have you evolved since then?”

“…I did…. One time.”

“Oh! Seriously?! What’s changed?”

“This.”

Saying that, Houen told me his status.

==================

He became Suzaku!!

…Huh?

Wasn’t Suzaku one of the Four Divine Beasts?

It seems we are a mix of the Four Divine Beasts and the Four Spirits…

Well, let’s leave it at that.

This guy seems to have gained some impressive skills as well.

The Myth skill, Crimson Lotus Blossom, sounds cool.

“Have you tried using it to see what it does?”

“No, I haven’t tried the Myth skill. After all, I might end up unconscious like you did.”

“That’s true…”

“But I don’t understand why the name of the Myth skill keeps changing. It evolved twice since then… First, it was Crimson Bud, then Crimson Bud in Bloom, and now it’s Lotus Blossom.”

“I didn’t realize it had evolved so much…”

“Well, indeed. The condition for the final evolution was to use the Myth skill. Isn’t it the same for you?”

Ah, yeah, that’s right…

Well, no, at that time I was unconscious, so I didn’t have any confirmation or anything.

But it’s true that I used Myth skill.

Was it really that simple…?

Well, it ended up making me sleep for a whole month, though!

And it evolved me during that time.

“Also, you should try out some more skills. It would be troublesome if they were used without any practice.”

I’ll keep that in mind…

But, you know, the skills I receive seem to be dangerous ones…

Natural Disaster and such, I definitely can’t use them…

I guess I just won’t use them.

“How many skills have you not used yet?”

“Um, let’s see… Excluding the Myth skill, it would be five. One of them seems dangerous just from the name, so I’ll seal it, which leaves four.”

“Try them out along the way, okay?”

Alright, I’ll do that.

I think it’s probably similar to the Water Dragon’s abilities.

But it’s difficult to control…

I should practice a bit to improve my proficiency.
