Chapter 107: Knight Skills, Wizard Spells and Experience Sharing (2/2)

Err… since he's a Hero, he'll get one from the Principal. Yumiko surrendered those Necklaces for him to distribute to everyone.

And yeah, each Necklaces will still feel like a lottery, one can either get an equipment from a Higher World or just Energy Stones.

”Here are the Skills and Spells I promised you. Though they're not the best, I picked them from your fighting style which I saw before.”

BeforeYuko narrated her experience, she pulled out 3 Scrolls and 3 Books. They're all Level 2 Wizard Spells and Knight Skill.

For the Spells, she brought me Magic Missiles, Wind Blades and Earth Bind.

Magic Missiles is a homing spell. Even though its strength is just a little above the Air Bullets, 3 missiles per cast will automatically lock on the target.

Wind Blades is like an upgraded version of Air Bullets which could slice open an opponent in one blade if their Endurance is low. I can use this along with my Energy Slash.

Earth Bind is a control spell which will be aimed at the opponent's feet or any part of him nearer to the ground to try and bind it there. It's a little weak binding but will be proven useful if used in the right moment.

The cooldown for these skills is a bit longer though, so I couldn't spam it easily.

For the Skills, she brought me Cleaving Blades, High Guard Parry and Elusive Steps

Cleaving Blades is just like an Energy Slash or Wind Blades. The only difference is you needed a sword to use it and its power is higher than Wind Blades.

High Guard Parry is just like its literal name, it can fend off an attack aimed at your upper body. It can be used consecutively with the Sword Skill Counter.

Elusive Steps is just an upgraded version of Flash Steps, it can let me traverse a greater distance easily and into the enemy's blind spot. Just that the surging wind will give away my location after a few seconds.

Though these Spells and Skills were written into scrolls and books, they're actually man made. It's just that profession's personal application of the World Energy and if they created one, they can turn it into a book or scroll like this which will be recognized by their system.

Just like how the denizens of the World of Spirits freely shape their connection to the Spirit Ocean. But yeah, 'The World' has certainly given a lot of restrictions which gave a lot of Corrupted their grievances but it's not like they couldn't work around it. Even without a skill or a spell, if they knew how to control the World Energy inside them they can still fight by improvising.

These Mortal Paths were all somehow connected. Maybe it's just their World's Will way of modifying it to better suit their denizens. Just like how the World of Barbarians were geared towards the increase in their Physique. Even though each path will feel different from each other, their end paths were all the same. Transcendence.

”Thank you, Yuko!”

I immediately imprinted everything and that bolstered my fighting capabilities. I really feel like they're all perfect to complement my fighting style.

”Did I pick it right?”

”Of course, let's try it later? You know, I'm already a Rank 4 Mortal, I can at least last for a moment against you.”

”My Dai-kun is already this strong, eh? Alright, let's spar later. For now, sit there and listen.”

Heeding her words, I sat back next to her and listened to her experience this time.

The other Kingdom who fell from the Corrupted now grew as the Corrupted Kingdom which threatened every nation in that world. It now became a safe haven for Corrupted Individuals.

Though a lot of them were dying from the Corruption, more and more denizens fell to temptation including Reinys' brother who I never met

Since he couldn't get his hands on Yuko, he succumbed to the temptation of getting more Power to forcibly take Yuko's hand. However even after becoming Corrupted, he couldn't cope with Yuko's strength. She's still invincible there. That guy was just too naive to think he could get what he wanted by becoming a Corrupted Individual.

Due to his relationship with Reinys, Yuko let him go. But she vowed to cut him down if he ever appeared again

Because of that, Reinys became too heartbroken and somehow retired from the Heroes' Party. Yuko told me how she couldn't lift Reinys spirit to take up her staff again. Even if she's not blaming Yuko, she felt like none of it would happen if she stayed at her brother's side instead of becoming Yuko's party member. That way she could stop his brother's stupid decision.

”Can you deliver a message from me to her? It might not lift her spirit up but if she knew it came from someone she loathed before, it might have an effect.”

Her brother's fate was already determined. Being corrupted by a higher energy, his only hope of salvation is if he grows strong enough to forcibly adapt to that energy or the World of Systems fall and be assimilated.

The former was impossible considering how easy he was corrupted and the latter was something Yuko wouldn't allow to happen.

”Alright. I'll deliver your message to her the next time I was summoned.”

Yuko agreed to my request. She really treated that Princess as a friend. Also, I don't think that unruly girl can just wilt away like that. If I mock her, will she stand up and be furious at it? I don't know but it's worth a try.

After telling Yuko my message to Reinys, she continued narrating what else happened in that world.
