62 sses Awakenings!


    "How did you survive a zombie''s bite?" Serina was shocked. "Retain mind and sanity… how is that even possible."


    "No idea, but I am an example," Erix shrugged before he stretched his arms. "Maybe I was just lucky?"


    "Anyway, we have to rest for a bit since we''ve been through a lot," he said.


    "Alright, take a rest," Lena nodded with a smile before turning to Isabe.


    "My skill will be ready in a few hours," Isabe assured with a smile. "I''ll heal Mr. Toshin''s leg when I can use it."


    "Thank you. Take rest, and don''t push too hard.


    After Lena and Serina left, Erix showed his ss to Rin and Isabe as he wryly smiled. "I think I got a crazy ss."


    [Zombie Lord]


    _Level: 1 [0/100 exp]


    _ss Rank: SS


    _Undead Energy: [5000/5000]


    _ss Tree:


    —> Active skills: Death Bones.


    —> Passive skills: Zombie Fest.


    _Domain: Undeath Bloom.


    "Zombie Fest was already there, and I chose Death Bones out of the three options."


    After saying that, he showed them the skill description.


    [Zombie Fest]


    _Type: ss skill.


    _Cost: Depends on target (Undead Energy)


    _Use: The zombies you kill will be stored as dolls in your origin region. Upon acquiring ten dolls, you canbine them and add an origin core of any monster to create a new type of powerful mutated zombie.


    _Note: You can only keep one such zombie under yourmand.


    "Wow, so you can create a new type of zombie with this," Rin was amazed at such a bizarre skill.


    Isabe blinked and nodded. "It''s peculiar."


    "Yep. I''ll have to experiment with itter," Erix grinned. Afterward, he showed the active skill that he chose.


    [Death Bones]


    _Type: ss skill.


    _Cost: 100-??? Undead Energy.


    _Use: You can refine any alive creature into a unique weapon with potent corrosive property + a single aspect of the refined creature. The cost of refinement depends on the target. Death Bones are highly effective against defenses and barriers.


    "This is also great," Rin chuckled. "Your ss is bizarre. I want to see how powerful it is."


    "Do you know why I chose Death Bones?" Erix smugly smiled. "Because I want to create a skeleton made of Death Bones and then give it an iron metal armor using my Metal affinity."


    Hearing his idea, the mouths of Rin and Isabe opened wide in shock.


    "So, we are going to see… literal Death Metal! Hahaha…" Rin chortled.


    "This one will rip others'' throats instead," Erix snickered.


    "I guess we both got one point."


    Isabe didn''t know whether tough or cry at this.


    Erix and Rin would always make stupid jokes given the opportunities on campus, dojos, or whenever they went out and counted points forpetition on whoever made the silliest jokes.


    "Alright, take a look at my ss now," Isabe said as she showed her ss details to others.


    Her White Elemental Mage evolved into Primo Elemental Mage.


    [Primo Elemental Mage]


    _Rank: S


    _Level: 1 [0/100 exp]


    _Ether Energy: [1000/1000]


    _ss Tree:


    —> Active skill: Elemental Zone.


    —> Passive skill: Elemental Gears.


    "Cool. Don''t tell me you can use multiple elements?" Rin raised her eyebrows.


    Isabe just smiled in response and showed them the skills.


    [Elemental Gears]


    _Type: ss skill.


    _Cost: Depends on usage (Ether energy)


    _Gears: Fire, Earth, Water, Wind.


    _Use: You can freely switch between four elemental gears and consume Ether energy to grant those elemental attributes to your skill or weapons, thus increasing their power.


    _Note: With sufficient control and proficiency, you maybine two elements to create a new one during the action. However, you must have an affinity for one of the two elements in thebination to seed.


    "Wow, this passive skill is already awesome," Erix was surprised. ''Four elements andbination is also possible, so enhancement too?''


    "Be, you can increase the Fire attribute''s attack power by adding wind,bining Earth and Fire to grinned. "If we can do this, then I wonder what kind of powers other people would have?"


    15:11


    She strangely wanted to see more exotic magic and superpowers.


    create magma, and even more," Erix''s eyes sparkled. "It''s great."


    Of course, it would only be possible after Isabe awakened an affinity or two. Her ss was such that she would eventually awaken the affinities for four primal elements as long as she worked hard for them.


    "Well, it will be even greater when I add my de Tune to herbo-ready skills," Rin excitedly grinned. "If we can do this, then I wonder what kind of powers other people would have?"


    She strangely wanted to see more exotic magic and superpowers.


    "My parents are no less active than us, and I could never beat them in martial arts, so I look forward to seeing how they progressed after this cmity descended."


    "Your parents are also that powerful?" Isabe was startled. This was news to her.


    "Yep. Our Rin is from a powerful and prestigious martial arts family," Erix chuckled.


    "That''s great," Isabe smiled. "It''s nothing," Rin modestly smiled and said, "Isabe-sis, show us your other skill now. I want to see what it can do."


    Isabe nodded and showed them the Elemental Zone active skill.


    [Elemental Zone]


    _Type: ss skill.


    _Cost: 100 to ??? Ether energy


    _Use: You can consume Ether energy to produce one of the four element''s Elemental zone around you, boosting the effectiveness and power of the skills and attacks that use the attribute matching the zone you formed. The cost depends on the size of the zone.


    _Note: This skill would be more effective if you produce aplementary elemental zone on an area already containing the same or supportive element''s influence.


    "Hmmm, so if you use Fire Elemental Zone near the volcano or Earth elemental on a barren ground, it would boost your respective attributed skills and attacks tremendously, but even without such geography, it would still attract elements corresponding to your Elemental Zone…" Erix mused. "This is also great, and I think it can do much more than that."


    "It seems that all of us have unique sses that can help us differently," Rin grinned.


    Erix nodded.


    "Yep. It''s indeed good that we don''t have simr types of sses."


    Rin''s ss was both an offense-support. Her de Eater was offensive if it was in good hands, and Rin was good. Isabe''s ss was versatile and could be helpful in many situations due to having four elements, but she was mostly a long-range caster.


    As for Erix, his ss was a surprise box. He could create zombies and Death Bones, but their effects and use depended on the monsters he targeted as his skills'' materials. Naturally, he was doubtful that Death Bones would simply produce a bone since the skill mentioned the word ''Weapon'', which meant it might turn into some proper usable weapon of unique style.


    No matter, he looked forward to creating them.
