<h4>Chapter 49: ss Awakening! Razing de Dancer!</h4>


    *Swoosh!*


    Erix nimbly dodged a smash from the Ogre before he kicked it in the head and manipted fifteen iron petals that he manifested by consuming the remaining three flower petals!


    After arriving behind its back, Erix and his Metacyber Arm used Imposing Fist!


    His Imposing First hit the Ogre''s head while the Metacyber Arm''s fist hit its chest from the front.


    *Boom!*


    -423!


    -289!


    *Roar!*


    Meanwhile, Rin was like a dancer on the battlefield, as none of the Ogres could see her correctly, let alone hit her!


    She was swinging her swords to attack the first three Ogre''s legs to make them limp, so they could quickly kill them and prevent them from attacking. She even used Ogre''s club attacks against each other with her positions.


    From behind, Isabe had already erected a Frost Shield so she could use it to defend in case of a sudden attack, but her main attack was her me Whip, as she dealt the most damage so far!


    The Ogres were giant and powerful but also slower, so against experts like Erix and Rin, their clubs couldn''t even hit them!


    Suddenly, the third Ogre that was furthest roared after two Ogres died before they could use their skills.


    It threw away its club and rushed towards Isabe while glowing in a strange dark aura, clearing using its skill, Rage Rush!


    Erix used Nether Grasp to grab its legs to make it stumble, but the demonic hand was instantly destroyed when it hit the Ogre!


    "Careful!" Erix shouted, shocked at the futility of Nether Grasp against Rage Rush.


    Isabe didn''t panic at the critical juncture and quickly used her Frost Shield to m it toward the iing Ogre.


    She saw how Erix''s Nether Grasp was destroyed, so she channeled her mana into the shield to keep it intact and tried to enhance its structure, giving her all!


    *Crash!*


    The Frost Shield crashed against Ogre, slowing it a bit, but it was still not stopping while the shield had cracks all over it!


    "Rin!"


    "Doing it!" Rin''s heart was beating quickly because if they failed to stop that Ogre, Isabe would be severely injured or worse, die!


    Even if Isabe dodged the Rage Rush, Ogre could still use the stomp that deals area damage, and its vitality was also at 80% since it was at the back and was not attacked much.


    That bastard directly went for Isabe because her attack was the highest, and it resulted in the deaths of two Ogres this fast as her burns and me whips seemed counter to their dark physiques.


    ''Please work!'' Rin was giving her all to use her Sword Beam skill.


    She had to kill it, one attack, one shot!


    Rin jumped on the Ogre''s head that she was attacking and used its momentum to make the distance, all while using her most powerful Sword Beam yet.


    She had channeled 100 mana into her Oni-Taijin Sword, shaping the beam and condensing it to the extreme.


    *Zoom!*


    *Crack!*


    When she unleashed the attack, her Sword''s de intensely glowed before disappearing into a condensed thumb-sized golden sphere.


    The stupifying thing was that her Sword''s de was destroyed and became fuel for the sword beam sphere as it hit the Ogre''s back when it was two meters away from Rin.


    *BOOM!*


    -1859!


    All 1859 of its Vitality was gone as the Ogre exploded in blood and gore before vanishing shortly!


    It also dropped a Core!


    *Roar!*


    But the battle was not over since the Ogre behind Rin raised its leg as it glowed violently!


    "Shit!" Rin cursed before she jumped up!


    *Boom!*


    Even though Rin jumped high, the stomp''s shockwave still hit her and injured her.


    -38 Vitality!


    "Rin!"


    Erix quickly finished off the low Vitality Ogre with his 20 mana Imposing fist before flying towards Rin and catching her before she fell and flew towards the other side of the cave.


    Meanwhile, Isabe powerfully smashed her Frost Shield at the Ogre that attacked Rin, causing it to fall to the ground. Taking this chance, she quickly used her me Whip and finished it off!


    Thest Ogre also dropped a core.


    "I''m fine," Rin spat some blood since the shockwave damaged her internally, but it was not that serious because it would heal soon with her current Health state.


    "Phew, it''s finally over," Isabe sighed in relief as she walked towards Rin and Erix.


    "Good news. My three ss tasks will bepleted after I absorb that crimson demon''s core," Rin grinned. "You two should also absorb a core since two Ogres dropped one each."


    She needed to kill a random supra-order monster, which waspleted in this cave after killing an Ogre.


    On the other hand, Erix needed to kill an Undead-Being of supra-order and absorb a holy being''s core, while Isabe required to kill a Supra-Order nt-type monster and absorb its core.


    As such, Rin started absorbing the crimson demon''s core, while Isabe and Erix started absorbing the core dropped by Ogres.


    The process was simple. They just needed to touch the orb, focus, and link their own Magic core to the orb to absorb the power within the core.


    The cores in their hands gradually turned smaller and fainter as they started absorbing them.


    After ten minutes, they entirely vanished while all three of their magic cores gained magic power and mana!


    Rin''s magic stat was increased by 4 while her mana pool capacity increased by 10.


    On the other hand, Isabe and Erix got 2 magic power and 5 mana pool capacity from Ogres'' cores.


    "ss awakeningpleted!" Rin grinned as she saw the notifications.


    "Let''s look at your ss," Erix smiled in expectation.


    "Eh? The ss has a different section of skills! And, I have options to choose my first ss skill."


    "Moreover, we have one more energy pool, and I can even sense it in my body. Wow."


    "Show us already," Erix rolled his eyes.


    "Hahaha…" Rin teasingly smiled and shared her ss status with others.


    [ Razing de Dancer ]


    _ss rank: S


    _Level: 1 [ 0/100 Exp]


    _de Energy: [1000/1000]


    _ss Tree:


    —> Active skills: de Tune.


    —> Passive skills: de Eater.


    _ss Domain:


    —> de Domain: Undeveloped.


    "You already chose the skill?" Erix asked upon seeing the skill name.


    "de Eater was already there, but I chose de Tune out of three options."


    "What''s the deal with level?" Isabe pointed out.


    "And why is the required Exp so low?" Erix was confused.


    "It''s not low," Rin wryly smiled. "We''ll get one experience point by killing one Supra-order monster."


    "We need to kill so many just to reach level two?" Erix raised his eyebrows. ''Then what would we need to get it to level 3? Maybe there are limited levels of ss?''


    "Wait, let me first get the full information of my ss," Rin said before closing her eyes.


    Since they could get all details via notification as long as they focused on the aspects, Rin started doing it.


    After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and grinned.


    "So first, there are ten levels of this ss. Once I reach max level, I can upgrade this ss to the next rank."


    "Second, after each level up, I can choose a passive skill and an active skill creation attempt. It seems we have to create our own skills via some means they will provide when we use our skill creation attempt."


    "So, we can only choose a single starting active skill while the rest depends on us," Erix nodded smilingly, "I like it."


    "Yep. Now, for the ss domain," Rin''s smile widened. "I can''t use it right now since I''ll have toprehend and create it myself, but I am sure it''s going to feel awesome when I use it based on the term."


    "Moreover, ss domains are different for everyone, like ss skills, since it depends on the person on what kind of domain they can create even if people have the same ss," she added.


    Afterward, Rin showed them the details of her new skills.


    "Before we go to that passage and fight more at the next cave, I want to learn this de Tune skill properly," Rin said as she stood up.


    [de Tune]


    _Type: ss skill.


    _Cost: Depends (de Energy).


    _Effect: You can use this skill on a skill of your teammate and harmonize with it using de energy to bring out unique enhancement andbos. The effectiveness of de Tune depends on your control, senses, and the amount of de energy needed to harmonize the targetted skill sessfully.


    Erix and Isabe understood why Rin wanted help to learn this skill. It seemed tricky to use!


    "Come on, help me out. Sis Isabe, you use your Frost Shield and Erix, the Nether Grasp. Let''s see what I can do with them using my de Tune."
