”Wow, it increased even more!?”
When he went up from level 1 to 2, his stats' effectiveness increased by 10%. Of course, that was plenty amazing, but now that he'd risen from level 2 to 3, it had increased by an additional 15% to a total of 125% effectiveness!
Go figure, it felt like his body was overflowing with power, but the Giant Slime, which was only one level higher than him, felt way too strong!
'Levels really are everything in this world.'
He had acquired a lot of skills and had grown until now, but to properly unleash the power of those skills, his stats had to become his foundation.
He felt like he understood why his seniors were so focused on only increasing their levels. Plus, they had revealed that they were level 6, so he couldn't imagine how powerful they were. Yet, even they wouldn't dare challenge the deep darkness that lay within the Empire!
'If we exclude the temporary bonus stats that the dungeon gives, my total stats are about 478. These numbers are impossible just from changing equipment... Ah, as I leveled up, my combat related skills went up as well. Because of that, my stats increased even more, I see.'
Because of that, Bursting Thunder, Catapult, Power Slash, and even the Command skill he hadn't had an opportunity to properly use, naturally leveled up, and his level 9 Shriek of the Dead, as well as Regeneration went up to the low rank level all at once.
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo knew how drastically the skills change when they go from the beginner level to low rank, so he was really excited and checked the information of the ranked up skills.
[Low Rank Shriek of the Dead Lv1 (Active)]
[Causes the enemy to lose their mind, and puts them into a 'frenzied' state. Additionally, they are afflicted with 'Fear' of the caster.]
[Low Rank Regeneration Lv1 (Active)]
[Damage is healed through magic. Regeneration speed and effectiveness increases.]
There was an option added to Regeneration stating that its speed and effectiveness increased, and there was a 'Fear' option added to the Shriek of the Dead. He was excited as he wondered what kind of change this would bring upon the battlefield.
However, there was something he was more excited for; it was the new skills he had gained. Honestly, most skills start at the beginner level, but both skills started at the low rank level!
[Low Rank Harden Lv1 (Active)]
[Consumes mana in order to harden and strengthen the area of your choosing. You can also apply this to your weapons or armor.]
”Oh, this is simple and precise, so it's great.”
Firstly, the Harden skill should be great both offensively and defensively. Especially, since it was a low rank level, it had additional options, and those options made his eyes go wide. It would reinforce his equipment, making them both stronger and st.u.r.dier. It would work as an all-purpose skill!
[Low Rank Self-Destruct Lv1 (Active)]
[By exploding a section, or even your entire body, you inflict tremendous damage to your enemies. The damage increases geometrically the larger the area you explode.]
Whereas Self-Destruct seemed like it would be extremely difficult to use. He would die on the spot if he exploded his entire body, so who the h.e.l.l would want to use this skill!?
At least Lee s.h.i.+n Woo possessed the Invisible Heart skill, so it wouldn't be so bad, but even taking that into account, it was definitely a skill with a horrific penalty.
”Moreover, even if I were to just explode a portion of my body, it ultimately just means that a portion of my body, which is attached to me, would explode right in front of me... Hmm?
He muttered like crazy, but then it hit him. A portion of the body... if that's the case, then what if he were to remove a portion of his body and then explode it? He had just the right skill for that.
'If I were to quickly launch my bone with my Catapult skill... and then add my Flames of Revenge to increase the accuracy and firepower...'
If he were to somehow succeed in integrating those three skills, he would completely rid himself of the weakness of 'self-damaging himself', and it seemed like he'd be able to create a skill with the maximum explosive effect. It may be a bit dangerous, but it was worth it to test it.
'Hmm?'
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who had been immersed in his thoughts, suddenly looked over his status, and realized something new.
In exchange for the 'Blessed by G.o.d' words being removed from his species, the moment he received Low Rank Acid Resistance, he saw that he had received a renewed section for Resistances, and two additional Resistances.
'Holy - MAX, Curses - MAX... How much do I have to raise the level of my skills to get to MAX?'
These two skills weren't new; he accurately interpreted it as the two Resistances that he already had being openly expressed in his Resistances section, something that had occurred following his level up, and the Resistances section being opened up.
It was much more intuitive, showing both his holy and curse Resistances maxed out, rather than a vague phrase like 'Blessed by G.o.d'. Looking at it like this, he suddenly realized just how much he had received from G.o.d.
'But what she took from me was equally as large...!'
Despite him leveling up to level 3, he grit his teeth at the empty s.p.a.ce between his legs and his bald head. What, would she only feel better if she took it all!?
”Hoo, but still, for now...”
