Chapter 285 - Mark Of Birth (I) (1/2)
[The Mark of Decay]
Type: Passive
Tier: EX
Info: Every attack dealt by this weapon will stack one [Decay Mark] with a maximum of 15 marks. Accumulating the 15 marks allows the user to unleash an extra attack, [Blast of Decay] that will inflict true damage against enemies and reduce their defense values by 50% for 5 seconds. The damage inflicted with [Blast of Decay] depends on how low the remaining HP of the enemy that got hit by the attack.
Every 5 stacks will allow the user to increase the attack of the user for 2 seconds by 50% with a maximum of 150% increase for a full stack. One stack will decay after 1 second of not attacking but for every 5 stacks, the decay time will increase from 1 second to 3 seconds.
Note: Perform combo attacks to immediately gain stacks. This is a message from your friendly neighborhood, Spid*r m*n!

The skill was not an active one but a passive one. However, it is a passive skill that relies on stacks huh? I am not sure but this skill is pretty strong. The activation is a bit hard but not impossible. And for the first time, the one who writes the note is not an as*hole and a joker for once. He is giving a piece of advice though it gives one pun, it's pretty lame.
But that advice was indeed the best way to accumulate stacks. Every weapon type can perform combo attacks. And for this reason, this might allow me to change my fighting style.
The 15 stacks will allow me to increase my overall damage to 150% which is pretty big depending on the enemy and with the 15 stacks comes the ability that will appear after accumulating the 15 stacks and its effects are similar to my other enemy defense down but with the addition of the damage, it can inflict which is true damage, a skill that is capable of ignoring defensive values. This is not something you will scoff about. This is one of the reasons debuffs are pretty good to use on bosses, as soon as their debuffs stacks, the enemies will slowly become bearable to handle.
Is this the mutation effect that happened after the Versatile Weapon devoured the spit of Cotton? I looked at Cotton but she is no longer there and went back to the side of the sleeping Lucia.
Now, I am more confused than ever on what kind of creature is Cotton. The night passed by while I am contemplating what is the purpose of Cotton and didn't notice that it is already morning.

After we took an order of food, we went back to the place where Tina is training. She is still quite battered up due to yesterday but with the help of healing, her wounds are not that big to be severe enough that would allow me to cancel her training.
