Chapter 155 – 155. Extreme Skill Enhancement Event

Okay, first, rather than mindlessly trying new skills, let’s learn all the redundant skills first.

That would be nice. Since there is an upper limit to skill acquisition, rather than adding more miscellaneous things here, it would be best to chew up all the redundant skills and make the skills you currently possess to S level or higher.

So, shall we first upgrade all the reinforcement classes to SSS level?

[Abilities]

-Strengthening: Physical strengthening (SS), physical strengthening (A), increased vitality (A), physical strengthening (B)

-Martial arts: Crushing Blow (S), One Point Penetration (S), Samjae Sword Technique (A), Presence Blocking (A)

-Magic: Golden Seal (S), Magic Circuit (A), Magic Absorption (A)

-Transformation: Human skin face (A), gender change (A)

-Summon: Summon dark spirits (S), summon the dead (-)

-Detection: Echolocation (A), Ability Perception (B)

-Recovery: Sanity recovery (A), recovery increase (A), immunity increase (B), rapid sleep (C)

-Support: Spiritual and physical robbery (S), deprivation of rights (S), bullet weaving (A), skill exchange (A), store discount (B), inventory (B)

-Equipment Skill: Exorcism (S)

These are the skills I currently possess.

Here, it seems that all skills can be strengthened except for Exorcism, which can only be used when wearing the ‘Rosary with Wishes’.

Oh, summoning the dead can only be obtained by killing a necromancer, so that doesn’t work. Well, anyway, let’s start strengthening.

First, there is a lot of physical strengthening. I plan to make this at SSS level.

‘In order to eat all of this, I would have to repeat skill transfer and exchange like a puzzle game, and then a lot of cursed skills would accumulate again.?’

I took out the Mimic in advance. To feed it right away whenever a cursed skill occurs.

“Good. Let’s do it.”

“Top …”

Leaving behind the groaning Mimic, I began acquiring awakening stones.

[Body Strengthening (SSS)]

[Effect: For each survival level, you gain 3 additional abilities to all stats.]

“Okay, this is it.”

Strengthening the body to the SSS level.

I really went crazy. For each survival level, you get an additional 3 points for all stats, and any handicap or penalty just disappears.

As expected, once you reach SSS level, there are no handicaps or penalties left. This is it. This is correct.

It’s SSS level, so it’s strange if complicated and troublesome penalties remain.

“Good. Very good.”

[You look very happy.]

“Of course. Can’t you feel it? This power.”

[Power that cannot be handled becomes poison.]

“That’s right.”

Agaf’s advice is correct. Power that is difficult to handle becomes poison.

For example, not long ago, while playing around with Youngsik, I tapped him on the back, and he was sent flying forward. Dangerous. I have become too strong.

“Well, I still can’t stop. I want to become stronger. The enemies are too strong. “I have to keep getting stronger to overcome this.”

[That’s also true. What I’m saying is, just don’t get too cocky. Keep you up Don’t let yourself be eaten by the skill.]

“Huh. I’ll keep that in mind.”

Agap is half-parasitic on me. Unless I get my body back or do something, if I die, it will naturally disappear along with me. That’s why they keep giving me attention and helping me.

Because I can only survive if I stay alive. So you need to listen to what she says.

Agaf’s advice is actually very helpful.

“Then next skill.”

Next is the increase in muscle strength.

Let’s eat as much of this as we can.

[Increased muscle strength (SSS)]

[Effect: For each survival level, you gain an additional 5 points to your strength stat.]

“This is it.”

My survival level now is 16. In short, the total strength stat has jumped by 80 due to the increase in strength.

Here, the original strength stat is 30, and if you add the increased stat through body strengthening…

“158.”

Power overflows from my whole body.

Now, if you pick up the long sword of the annihilator and the shield of the wall…

“632.”

This has been strengthened too much.

“Oh shit.”

In this state, you could easily crush the other person’s hand just by shaking hands.

I’m going crazy. I strengthened it like crazy, and it became so strong that everyday life became difficult. What should I do now?

[No, you crazy guy. I just warned you!!! Is it the head of a carp?!]

“Oh, what should I do?”

[Whoa. If it doesn’t work out, pass it on to someone else. There is also Mimic. There are also blood demons. Leave it to the dark spirits.]

“You’re passing it on. No. Such a waste. I grinded a few awakening stones to make this. I can’t give it to you. There must be some way… Ah!”

I spoke to Agaf.

“Agaph, use the power seal on me.”

[Huh? Ah. Indeed.]

Agaf immediately used the ability seal on me.

[Ability Seal (A)]

[Effect: If you are looking at the opponent, you can seal one of their skills or racial characteristics.]

[Handicap: Don’t blink.]

[Penalty: Your body is paralyzed for the amount of time the ability was sealed.]

Last time, I handed over the ability seal to Agaf. It was difficult for me to use it during battle, so I gave it to Agaf to use it instead. Agaf never blinks and has no body, so handicaps and penalties are useless.

Anyway, that’s why I gave it to you, but I never thought you’d make me use it again.

In this way, you can now turn muscle strengthening on/off.

I think I’m a bit of a genius.

[Please, Inho. Don’t be arrogant.]

“Haha. “I’m sorry.”

[Your biggest problem is that you don’t seem sorry at all. This crazy Ganghwa criminal! If you fall behind, I fall behind too. So please. Please. Oh, oh oh!!!]

I scratched the back of my head at Agaf’s pleading cry.

‘Huh. No matter how much I scream, I will continue to get stronger.’

If I say that, I’m sure they’ll start nagging, so let’s just shut up and eat the awakening stone. Agaf, what can you do? They say I will become stronger.

However, rather than using strengthening skills first, I need to increase my skill level by eating a lot of ability seals first. That way, when you consume the remaining strengthening skills, Agaf will seal them and turn off the effects.

Since it’s impossible for me to use the ability seal on myself, it’s easier to just hand it over to Agaf and ask him to turn it off.

“Let’s see.”

I searched through the awakening stones and found the ability seal. Since there are so many awakening stones, finding a specific awakening stone is also a task. Fortunately, there are a lot of reinforcement skills, so you can find them even if you just pick them up, but the same cannot be said for other skills.

“I found it.”

I found the awakening stone containing the ability seal. Good. Let’s strengthen it.

[Skill Seal (SSS)]

[Effect: If you know the skills or racial characteristics of the specified opponent, you can seal up to ten at the same time.]

“This is it.”

Done. This is more than enough to seal all reinforcement skills.

“Then again…”

I started to acquire the skills I had already taken out.

As a result…

[Increased vitality (SSS)]

[Effect: For each survival level, you gain 5 additional abilities to your vitality stat.]

[Stamina increase (SSS)]

[Effect: For each survival level, you gain 5 additional abilities to your stamina stat.]

[Sensory Enhancement (SSS)]

[Effect: For each survival level, you gain 5 additional abilities to your sensory stats.]

[Durability improvement (SSS)]

[Effect: For each survival level, you gain an additional 5 points to your durability stats.]

[Resistance improvement (SSS)]

[Effect: For each survival level, you gain an additional 5 points to your resistance stat.]

“Indeed, it’s amazing.”

I took a deep breath, turning on all the physical strengthening and muscle strengthening features that I had just turned off.

“We have reached a new level.”

[…

When I took out the Destroyer’s Longsword and the Barrier’s Shield from my inventory, I felt like the world was slowing down for a moment.

“This is.”

[Because of the abnormally high stats, the world suddenly slowed down.]

“Oh my god.”

Omnipotence. I’m not going to lie right now, I think I can catch a dragon if it pops out.

Blocking bullets is no longer a task for me. I felt like I could survive even if I was hit directly by a missile.

“Agape, turn it off now. “I felt enough.”

[I understand.]

7 skills turned off at the same time and I returned to my original self. It’s thrilling. It feels like I was addicted to that state just now, like someone who has taken some kind of drug.

However, if you use it recklessly in your daily life, it may cause casualties, so you should refrain from using it.

The good news is that if Agaf hadn’t used the ability seal, he would have had to hand over these skills to Dark Spirit or Mimic.

“This is a bit dangerous because the rise is so large.”

[It would be better to hand it over to the rest of the party.]

“I know. I guess I should give it at least S rank. It would be difficult to handle any more than that.”

Any more than that is dangerous. Because I have Agaf, I raised my mind to SSS level without any hesitation, but the rest of the party did not.

It would be a big deal if someone had too much power and died. It would be terrible if you hugged someone out of joy and then ended up breaking their spine and dying.

“For now, I just finished all the strengthening skills.”

Now it’s time to take the next step.

“Samjaegeombeop up to SSS level. Oh, that won’t work.”

[The number is small.]

“Let’s at least raise it to SS level.”

I acquired the awakening stone that contains the Samjae Sword Technique.

[Samjae Sword Technique (SS)]

[Effect: You will become skilled at cutting, stabbing, and blocking. You will experience the extreme power of the sword.]

[Handicap: Can only be used when holding a sword.]

The explanation has changed a bit.

Once the penalty disappeared, a handicap was created.

And.

“You get to taste the extreme power of the sword?”

You get to taste the extreme power of the sword. What exactly is the effect? I don’t know. It seems like an effect that can be seen only when you fight in person.

It is an ambiguous explanation because it is not quantified.

Well, for now, let’s continue to strengthen our skills.

For now, the focus is on strengthening existing skills rather than acquiring new skills.

I will have to take advantage of new skills later, but it seemed more important to strengthen my fundamental skills for now.

This means that the skills I have that I have not yet passed on to others are ones that I often use and are absolutely necessary. Except for the human skin mask and gender reversal. I’ll have to give this to someone else later. Neither of them are used often, and they are completely useless even during battle.

How about giving it to Kang Young-seop in moderation?

Anyway, the next skill to be strengthened is…

[Presence Blocking (S)]

[Effect: Removes all pretense of presence and provides complete hiding. It will not be detected unless it is a detection class of the same class.]

[Penalty: You will feel a little helpless after using the skill.]

The handicap of not being able to erase even the smell has disappeared. With this, I no longer get caught by opposite-sex detection or same-sex detection. Also, it is not detected at all unless it is the same S-class detection skill.

If you use it with the Ring of Perception Inhibition, the other person won’t even know you’re approaching.

Next…

[Magic attribute circuit (SSS)]

[Effect: A magic circuit is engraved on the body. You can create a ring of magic by absorbing magic stones. As the number of rings increases, the magic circuit becomes stronger, and the effectiveness of magic skills increases.]

[SSS]

[Effect: Dantian is created in the body. You can increase your dantian through meditation. You can increase the level sequentially from low combat, medium combat, and high combat, and the effectiveness of martial arts skills increases.]

Now I can create my own magic power and accumulate a huge amount of it.

Until then, if you consumed magic stones beyond a certain level, you would become dizzy, but that feeling has completely disappeared.

It is now possible to store an endless amount of magic power in the rings and danjeon. I could even feel that I was able to precisely control the magic power within my body.

It seems that the magical power circuit allows the mana in the body to be handled precisely, and the inner gongsim technique has greatly increased the limit of the body’s magical power reserve.

Since you are learning two skills at the same time, a synergy effect occurs.

You can fill your Danjeon just by absorbing magic stones without meditating, and thanks to Danjeon, your body can withstand the amount of magic power that was difficult to handle with your magic power circuit.

“Next.”

There are a few bastards and gender change in the gunny sack, but honestly, these are skills I don’t need to have, so I’ll give them to someone else later and try to detect or strengthen their abilities.

[Ability Insight (S)]

[Effect: You can see the skills and survival level of the target you are looking at.]

The handicap of having the other person be aware of me has disappeared. Moreover, it is possible to check not only skills but also survival level. Even though it’s S class, I never thought all handicaps and penalties would disappear already.

“Oh.”

Now I think it would be good to understand the strength of the other person. If we strengthen it further, wouldn’t it be possible to check the status window itself?

Anyway, with this, I strengthened all the skills that would be helpful in direct combat. Now all that remains are recovery skills.

Let’s increase sanity recovery (A), recovery increase (A), immunity increase (B), and rapid sleep (C) as much as possible.

[Restoration of Sanity (S)]

[Effect: Sanity level does not drop easily. You can now resist mental attacks.]

[Handicap: You won’t get frustrated easily.]

Almost the effect itself has changed. In addition, it can even resist mental attacks. Moreover, you won’t get frustrated easily. Positive thinking, flexible thinking. Good. Very good.

[Increased recovery (S)]

[Effect: Recovery is maximized. Wounds heal quickly and the chance of infection is reduced.]

[Handicap: When used on another person, both parties’ Sanity level decreases slightly.]

When I cut a wound on my palm, it healed almost in real time. The rationality level did not drop. It restores sanity again faster than the number of sanity recovery drops.

You’re crazy. Is it possible for wounds to heal infinitely?

[Immunity increase (S)]

[Effect: Once you have been infected, you become resistant to diseases, poisons, and curses, and it lowers the chance of getting a disease.]

[Penalty: Food intake increases.]

The most amazing thing about the enhanced immunity is that it also applies to zombie viruses.

Originally, the zombie virus was out of scope, but now that it has been raised to S level, the probability of contracting the zombie virus also decreases.

[Rapid sleep (A)]

[Effect: If you sleep for more than 2 hours without waking up, most fatigue is relieved.]

[Penalty: Fatigue increases if you sleep for more than 5 hours.]

The final quick sleep.

“Are you telling me to work without sleeping?”

You only need to sleep for 2 hours. If you take a nap, all your fatigue will go away. Instead, if you sleep more than 5 hours, you will feel tired.

This was a skill that made me feel strange, as if I had to work all day.
