Chapter 621 - [Fated Encounters: Nyzzets Labyrinth Conquest] 83/?: Class Change Session! 3 (2/2)
It seems that even though they do not have a physical appearance, skills are some kind of… thing? I cannot really say that they are alive, but they might be something similar to a cell amongst the enormous body that the System is.
I can acquire the Skills from what I devour through Uroboros (formerly Devour), which gives me the ability to digesting the skills and making them my own. Even when they would often not make sense to have due to my physiology, but that did not seem to stop my body from simply adapting to the skills. In such a way, I was even capable of shaping my body, transforming, and doing many other things that I was not supposed to be capable of.
When Skills are fused, the resulting skill is the combination of all these lumps, which grows larger and larger… perhaps the Sin of L.u.s.t appearance inside of my soul is also something like a skill itself, as it appears like a dark sphere, similar to other skills I have acquired after fusing hundreds of them together into one.
And as I develop my Skills more, they begin to become stronger and even… to gain a bit of independence, and due to this, those that awaken often decide to absorb similar skills or 'devour' them without my permission, so their awakening and evolution can be triggered faster.
What just happened in the awakening of these Calamity Abyss Demon Skills was similar, each of these skills resembles a giant sphere of darkness, and they needed a bit more power and energy to properly evolve… What did they do? They simply absorbed or ate other skills similar to them to trigger their awakening, transformation, or evolution faster.
When Skills eat each other, the effects of the skills that they eat are often carried with them and merged, remarkably similar to how skill fusions happen to begin with.
Due to this explanation of how Skills are, I often think about what would I do if I were to fight someone that can 'Steal' Skills… what would I do if my strongest asset is taken away from me?
However, I often assume that even if such an enemy might appear in the future, as the Realm Menace of Envy that I am suspecting to exist in the Demon Kingdom of Thanatos, I shouldn't be capable of completely losing my power through having my skills stolen.
Why is it? Because after reaching a certain point, the Skills simply become a part of your own self, of your own soul, body, and mind. Even if the skill is taken out, my ability to exert the abilities ad powers of the skill taken out should remain, albeit, perhaps, weakened. But I should still be capable of exerting it with enough energy infused into the task, and even relearn them unless I were to 'gift' the Skills through the Empire System that lets me gift skills to my wives.
Talking about that, every time I ask them if they want one of my Skills, they always answer with 'You're better with it than us', or 'We can get Skills by eating as well, even if it's a bit slow, it is good enough, so don't worry', and some even say 'We already got pretty strong skills, so there is no need'.
They are very considerate girls, I guess…
Anyways, after having changed Classes, I glanced at my available Skill Points, there were 2581, enough for at least one more if it is from the not so costly Classes.
I glanced once again to the wide list, although there were three less now, it was still rather overwhelming.
I began to think about what I needed for now… and a Skill arose in my mind.
The [True Grotesque Existence; Demon Goddess Hermaphroditus] Skill which represents my entire physique combined with my psyche had been sitting at Level 10 for a while. I know that it can improve furthermore in some way, but fusing skills into it would not work…
Why? Because the Skill is not accepting any skill that I have available for fusion, it's as if the Skill itself was so strong that it became a picky eater that does not accept junk food in big quantities anymore…
So, the only option left is to change to a Class that can awaken this skill for me… but which one can be even used for the task? I pondered this question for a while until I glanced at one Class that seemed remarkably interesting… and had a very odd name.
[Nyarlathotep]
A Class unlocked by someone that embodies the mythos of Nyarlathotep, the entity capable of changing into any shape, form, or creature. It is a Class bestowed upon a fiendish entity of chaos that does not possess a defined form but is the embodiment of endless transformation and shapeshifting.
This Class enhances the capabilities of the user to shapeshift and take into any form, while also transforming and gaining power from each different transformation.
Embrace your identity as the ever-changing shapeshifter, your true self cannot be shown to mere mortals, as their minds might not be capable of understanding the complexity and superiority of your existence above their own.
This Class offers an increase in all Stats (Except Luck, Blood Strength, and Soul Stats) alongside the strengthening of all types of shapeshifting, transformation, and other types of Skills.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%5Bfated-encounters-nyzzet's-labyrinth-conquest%5D-83-class-change-session!-3_51798810539655035 for visiting.
[Available Skills: [Nyarlathotep: Level 1] (1000 SP) (Required to Complete the Class)
[Exchangeable Stat Bonuses: [+500 HP, +100 MP, +50 Strength, Defense, Magic, Resistance, Speed, Charm] (1000 SP) (Required to Complete the Class)
This is… the ideal Class for just that! But it needs two thousand Skill Points?! Ugh, not so cheap, are you?
Well, this Class is not in the first three lines, as it is deeper into the window of Classes, so I suppose it is costly, of course. And its effects must be amazing as well, so it is even more costly.
Okay, I will take it.
