Book 2: Chapter 89.3: New Skills Part III
<strong>Scarlet</strong>
I very smugly activate the beast form skill again, turning me back into my human form with far less pain than it initially took to transform me into that beast form in the first ce. And then I remember my clothes.
Right. Should go change.
I quickly go to my closet before deactivating my magi-tech armor and changing clothes. Then I go back to my bedroom and sit down on the bed.
So far the benefits Ive gotten have been pretty good.
<strong>What about the tail? </strong>Tar asks, sounding more amused than he should be.
We forget the tail. It doesnt exist.
The tanuki snorts as he lies down on my bed next to me.
Now then. The next thing on the table is to check out the changes to the partial shift skill.
<strong>{Partial Shift Allows the user to transform two extremities into that of a beast for arge and one time price of mana each use.}</strong>
Not bad. Not bad at all.
It looks like I can now transform both of my arms into that of a beast, and itll likely cost less mana to do so. A very nice upgrade.
I smile at that while flopping back on my bed.
With the exception of the putrid ck guck, the major pain that I went through, and the wardrobe malfunction, this has been a very nice evening. And the day was quite good as well, considering therge amount of credits that should be transferred to me by the morning.
And then theres the points. Actually, I should start putting more research into what I can get with those points now that I think about it.
But that can be left for tomorrow.
For now, I should just focus on my status. Because I havent actually looked at it beyond checking the skill descriptions yet.
And it should be a bit different now.

Wow. My mana really did shoot up just from ascending.
That increase in the multiplier is already working its magic. Now it looks like my mana is about 0.85 times my mental and magical stats.
I smile at the thought.
And it shouldnt just be my mana affected by it. Everything should be.
Its so nice to be ss II.
Now then. Onto using up my Skill Points.
Before I level up my skills though, I should check if there are any new legendary skills that I might want that unlocked from reaching ss II.
<strong>There probably is knowing you </strong>Tar grumbles, sounding like hes moping or something.
I snort at that before opening my Skills Store. And low and behold, there really is a new achievement-locked legendary skill there.
<strong>Skill Name:</strong><strong>Achievement Requirements:</strong><strong>Descriptions:</strong><strong>ssifications:</strong><strong>SP Price:</strong> <strong>Null Magic Field</strong><strong>Unlocked by persevering through over a hundred different unique magic attacks within a three month time period, by having pushed through your mana capacity numerous times over within a weeks time, by killing a demon over a hundred levels above you, by reaching ss II within half a year of being initialized into the System, and by being the child of the White Knight of Humanity, Amelia Asger.</strong>
<strong>This skill allows the user to set up a temporary null magic field that will require any magical skill requiring mana to use twice as much mana as the skill originally intended to be sessfully used.</strong>
<strong>The user is only partially affected by their own null magic fields, requiring them to spend 1.3 times as much mana for any magical skills while inside of them.</strong>
<strong>Active</strong>
<strong>Achievement-Locked</strong>
<strong>Legendary</strong> <strong>60</strong> <strong>Blood Sword</strong><strong>Unlocked by killing over one thousand beings within half a year, by having the knowledge of how to wield a sword, by killing a demon over fifty levels above you, by reaching ss II, and by being a Blood Lycan.</strong><strong>The user may create a de made out of metallicized blood that they can use inbat.</strong>
<strong>Active</strong>
<strong>Epic</strong> <strong>30</strong> <strong>Blood Poisoning</strong><strong>Unlocked through killing a demon at least fifty levels above you, through killing a being at least one ss above you, through killing various demons whose levels far surpass your own with indirect means, and by having blood magic.</strong><strong>The user may corrupt a very small portion of their blood before separating it from their body and using it to infect other living beings.</strong>
<strong>Active</strong>
<strong>Epic</strong> <strong>30</strong> <strong>Blood Frenzy</strong><strong>Unlocked through killing a demon at least fifty levels above you, through killing a being at least one ss above you, through killing an original variant demon, by killing a demon at a higher level than you while almost burning all of your blood in the process, and by having blood magic.</strong>
<strong>Allows the user to drive their opponents into a frenzy, making them go berserk with anger on a level determined by the difference in power between the user and the target.</strong><strong>Warning: While this skill makes the target incredibly reckless and lose their situational awareness, it also makes the target stronger.</strong>
<strong>Active</strong>
<strong>Epic</strong> <strong>30</strong> <strong>...</strong>
Wow. Thats wow.
<strong>Get that legendary skill, </strong>Tar immediately says, and I cant help but numbly nod my head as I buy the skill. <strong>Null magic is one of the most powerful magics in existence, and you just got a powerful etched null magic skill. I guess it was bound to happen with your mother being White, but I wasnt expecting it this soon</strong>
Yeah
This is a very nice skill.
<strong>You have too many legendary skills </strong>Tar mutters, sounding like his worldview is being shattered. Or universeview? Guess that term fits better. <strong>Just how how does a Guardian not even half a year past contracting manage to get five legendary skills?</strong>
I resist the temptation to stand up straight and stick my chest out in pride. Because I am not a child.
And Im lying down, so thatd be hard.
Anyways, putting my pride aside for the moment, I activate the null magic field before simply understanding how to use it. So I make the field appear a couple meters in front of me where I soon find a pure white tint fill the air for a diameter of about five or so meters.
Not a bad size. Should be enough to cover a room.
The main problem was that setting up the field itself cost an entire five percent of my mana. Which was a lot.
But it doesnt look like it has a cooldown or even a limit on how many fields I can have up at once.
I wait for a little bit before realizing that the field doesnt seem to vanish on its own either. Then I walk out of my room and to the other side of my suite, only to walk back again to find that the field is no longer there.
Interesting. So I can make as many fields as I want, and they will not expire unless I get too far away from them? I also dont have to upkeep them. Its just a straight up five percent cost of my mana to use the skill.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
In fact, this is great! Especially for those berserk skills and finishing move skills people have which cost a huge amount of mana. With this I could end up making them not have the mana needed to use the skill at all!
It still kind of sucks though that I dont have a finishing move skill of my own still unless I count the beast form? Maybe?
It definitely makes me a lot stronger, thats for sure.
I sit back down on my bed before pursing my lips.
What to do with the remaining Skill Points... buying Blood Sword wouldn''t really help much when I already have my metallicized blood ws, and Null Magic Field is an achievement-locked skill, so I cant level it up with Skill Points. I also dont have enough SP to get Blood Thirst to level ten still. Because legendary skills are a massive pain to level up.
Hmm. I guess thatll work.
I raise Blood Manifestation to level ten before checking the changes to the skills description to find that I can now summon up to twenty-five des at once. It also looks like my control over them has improved, which Im surprised the description is mentioning.
Mustve been some improvement for it to point it out.
Now then.
I turn my attention to the tanuki lying on the bed next to me before I ask out loud, You mentioned that you could tell me the Demon Kings Titles after I reached ss II?
