Chapter 15 'Copy Skill' Card!
Hikaru looked at Saraya , thinking his decision was correct. Although Vuni's stats are much higher than Saraya's, Saraya had a hidden buff.
Based on the knowledge Hikaru had received, he knew that Saraya's hidden buff could greatly increase Lightning elemental skills. However, it was difficult to detect this secret buff because of Saraya's low stats.
Besides, Vuni had very high stats. What if Vuni gave Saraya the Lightning elemental skill to use?
That's right, the power from that skill would significantly increase, just like the destructive power radiating from the Thunder Spear that Saraya was holding.
Saraya aimed straight at the Gorilla King's chest, then let go. The Thunder Spear shot out of the bow and flew directly to the Gorilla King's chest like lightning.
The Thunder Spear flew so fast that even Hikaru couldn't keep up. He only saw Saraya let go of her hand. Then the Thunder Spear was inserted into the chest of the Gorilla King.
Before the Gorilla King could scream, the Thunder Spear gave off a dazzling aura. Immediately after, there was an explosion that shook the whole land. Vuni had experience in this, so she immediately appeared next to Hikaru and used a magic shield to protect him.
The shock wave shot out and wiped away everything that walked on the field. Before Vuni's stats were only 2,500, the magic damage was incredible. Now, Vuni's Intelligence stat is over 50,000, plus the effect of "The Pioneer" badge. In addition to the fact that Saraya made the Lightning element more robust, the power of the Thunder Spear couldn't be underestimated.
Hikaru saw a mushroom-shaped cloud over five hundred meters high in the center of the explosion, which scared him a little. It turned out that this was the power of Vuni and Saraya after combining.
Hikaru thought about the future, when Saraya and Vuni's level are higher, and how amazing their powers will be. However, Hikaru's thoughts of a bright future were extinguished when he saw Vuni almost exhausted.
Hikaru rubbed his chin, silently calculating the Mana that Vuni had. It seems that Vuni spent most of her Mana on the skill just now. Besides, Vuni had to use Mana to create a magic shield to protect Hikaru, so Vuni was almost depleted of Mana.
"It seems that the glorious future is still far away." Hikaru thought to himself.
Suddenly, a bunch of system messages appeared. It was not a message saying Hikaru had defeated a monster but a statement about the item Hikaru had just received.
[Ding! You have obtained a skill card - "Copy Skill".]
"Skill Cards?" Hikaru was confused, but Rika immediately explained.
[In Dungeons, when defeating monsters, the owner has a minimal chance of getting some items. These are all hidden items, which can be obtained by defeating monsters, digging graves, or performing hidden quests.]
"So that means I'm fortunate, right?"
[No! You just defeated over 10,000 Skeleton monsters and only got 1 hidden item. That's bad luck.]
"Cough!" Hikaru almost spats out a mouthful of blood. Hikaru knew he was very unlucky, but Rika didn't have to say it outright. Couldn't she comfort him a bit?
Hikaru wanted to see the skill card information but was blocked by the system.
[Ding! Skill cards are not in the System inventory. You cannot view item information that is not in the System inventory.]
Hikaru was not surprised but began to select the necessary items and create the 'Reservoir Chest'. Hikaru naturally had plenty of materials to make a 'Storage Chest'.
[Ding! Crafting 'Reservoir Chest' successfully.]
After that, Hikaru put all the items in the 'Storage Chest'. The storage chest in the System inventory took up only 1 slot. However, Hikaru can easily use the item in the 'Storage Chest' without putting the item in the System inventory.
Hikaru looked around, still covered by the dust generated by the explosion, so he continued to examine the "Copy Skill" card.
…
Name: Copy Skill f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮
Rarity: Unknown
Type: One-time use
Description: You can copy any skill of a monster or another player. However, this copying must be approved by the player or monster. Without consent, the copying process will fail, and the "Copy Skill" card will disappear.
…
Hikaru thought for a moment and then used the "Copy Skill" card.
[Ding! You have used the "Copy Skill" card. Whose skill do you want to copy?]
"Copy Vuni's Thunder Spear skill."
Although Hikaru knew Vuni had better skills, the Thunder Spear was the skill that suited Hikaru the most.
Hikaru thought was not without reason. Hikaru currently had a melee ability, where the Thunder Spear can be used as a magic skill and a melee weapon.
[Ding! Since Vuni is a monster you summoned, it is possible to copy her skills without her consent.]
[Ding! Copy successful. You have acquired the skill "Thunder Spear".]
…
Name: Thunder Spear
Rarity: SR
Damage: 500%
Intelligence.
Description: Thunder Spear is made up of countless lightning bolts. Those lightning bolts will gather and form a spear. The duration of the Thunder Spear depends on the user's Mana.l
Description 2: When you use Thunder Spear to attack Dark or Shadowy monsters, it will increase damage by 20%.
…
After reading the
description, Hikaru felt that this skill was a bit weak and difficult to
understand.
"Wait! Is this skill just an SR Skill? Vuni is a UR monster but uses an SR Skill? But why is this SR Skill so powerful?"
Rika replied: [Master there seems to be a misunderstanding. Even though Vuni is a UR monster, that's only in terms of her rarity and stats. In addition, SSR Skills or higher are very rare. Since you have the Maximum Evolution skill, it's easy to acquire SSR skills or higher.]
[The reason why Vuni uses the SR skill and is as powerful as you have seen is because Vuni's stats are very high. Master, imagine if a stone flew at the speed of a bullet. How much damage would it do?]
Hikaru naturally understood what Rika explained. With Vuni's stats, even a low-level skill can deal tremendous damage.
[However, the weakness of using that low-level skill is too much excess energy without any effect. For example, Vuni and Saraya had just combined the Thunder Spear skill. The explosion from it looks awesome, but the excess energy from the blast is not enough to destroy other Skeleton monsters.]
Hikaru listened to Rika's explanation and felt it made sense.
"It's okay, and I still have the M.E skill to evolve Thunder Spear again." Hikaru thought to himself.
"System, evolve the Thunder Spear skill."
[To evolve the Thunder Spear skill, you need to pay 1,000,000 Soul Points, 100 Thunder Stones. Do you agree to pay or not?]
Hikaru felt lucky that Saraya and Vuni collected more Crystallized Souls while he was in the state of Reborn. That's why, right now, the number of resources Hikaru possessed was quite a lot.
"Agree."
[Ding! Payment successful. The Thunder Spear skill has evolved into SSR.]
…
Name: Thunder Spear
Rarity: SSR
Damage: 5,000%
Intelligence.
Description 1:
The Thunder Spear is made up of countless lightning bolts. Those lightning bolts will gather and form a spear. The duration of the Thunder Spear depends on the user's Mana.
Description 2: When attacking Dark or Shadowy monsters, Thunder Spear will increase damage by 50%.
Description 3: When Thunder Spear hits the enemies, if they do not die, they will be slowed for 60 seconds and have a 10% chance of being stunned.
Description 4: If an enemy dies, Thunder Spear will automatically attack any next enemy. Each time the Thunder Spear kills an enemy, its power will be increased by 10%, maximum increase is 200%.
….
After evolving the skill Hikaru saw the Thunder Spear Skill and immediately realized that Rika's explanation was correct. If the Thunder Spear used by Saraya or Vuni causes an explosion, Hikaru's Thunder Spear will create a chain reaction.
That chain reaction will spread automatically, with no useless excess energy. The more enemies the Thunder Spear destroys, the stronger it is. Even the Thunder Spear SSR also carries the effect of slowing and stunning enemies.
Hikaru checked the number of Soul Points he possessed. There were still plenty. Hikaru decided to continue leveling up.
"Level up to level 10."
"Evolve Talent - The Master."
"Evolve Medal - The Pioneer."
[Ding! To level up from level 01 to level 10, you need to pay 10,000 Soul Points.]
[Ding! To evolve Talent - the Master, you need to pay 500,000 Soul Points.]
[Ding! To evolve the medal - The Pioneer, you need to pay 500,000 Soul Points.]
"Agree."
…
The dust had not dispersed yet. Saraya, flying in the sky,couldn't see the situation of the monsters, especially the Gorilla King.
Saraya frowned. She felt that there was not enough Mana in her body. Because to quickly deal with the monsters. She used almost all of her Mana to cast her Thunder Spear skill.
Suddenly, Saraya realized something. She immediately looked to the right. Approaching her face was a giant mace at moving at lightning speed that caused the dust to disperse.
Saraya couldn't dodge it because the distance was too close. And she didn't detect it early because the dust covered the entire area and the enemies.
Saraya saw the giant mace getting closer and closer and felt despair. The strength of the Gorilla King was not to be underestimated the mace would surely smash into her.
At this moment, only one face appeared in her mind: "Master!"
