Chapter 665: Blind [Bonus]
?
Ss almost became addicted to the feeling. ss quickly formed around him in intricate patterns, but they would break apart into a storm of silvery-blue sand before reforming into solid shards of ss.
He could freely decide between using the more solid form of ss and the more particle- sized form. Thetter drained Wisdom at a far greater rate, but it had its own uses and application.
It had to be remembered that this ss Path still carried a poison character that was particrly good at attacking inorganic matter.
If Ss used therge ss shards, it would be far more difficult to make use of this ability. But, if he used the ss Sand form, then he could bury it into the crevices and hidden nooks of his opponent''s Skills and Treasures, destroying them from the inside out.
''To think that a Silver ss would only use 20 and 30 Foundation Runes at best. Just how much potential is left over for higher level Runes?''
Ss didn''t n on improving the Foundations. Instead, he nned to entirely focus on the Mastery.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Elevating the Foundations would be far too difficult and would defeat the ease of use of everything. If he had to put effort into controlling the Runes and forming himself, then what would be the point of his ss?
Part of the power of his Gene ss Form was just how easy it was to use.
With a thought, Ss formed a dozen shards of ss, each of which could deal 1000 Damage. In a single round of attacks, most opponents would be finished. They would have to somehow be capable of either offsetting 12,000 Damage or dodging.
But just how difficult would it be to dodge when Ss had telekinesis? Something even the ss Monkey didn''t have?
What about when his telekinesis was stacked with <King''s Shift> on top of that, allowing for sudden and abrupt changes in momentum?
The ss left Ss feeling endlessly satisfied. A part of him even felt that even if he had to give up a path to Gold and Legendary, it would be fine.
Of course, he would never do this. It would be far too short-sighted of him. If a Silver ss was this good, then he could only imagine how good a Gold one would be, and a Legendary one beyond that.
And even then, he had room for a second ss.
Ss was spending quite a lot of time thinking about the Gene ss Form, when in reality there were far more benefits than just this alone.
For example, his Aether skin had undergone a drastic change. Not only was it capable of 2000 Defense all on its own now, but it even seemed to have a semi-reflective property.
This reflectiveness wasn''t for Physical attacks, but rather just for Aether. It could repel pure Aether attacks beneath the 2000 Attack threshold, not only saving Ss from having to pour more Aether into it, but also forcing an enemy to deal with their own blow to some extent.
Then there was the change to Ss'' Will itself. It felt more tangible now than it ever had before, changing from a flickering me to the form of a ss tree.
What made Ss feel especially shocked was that now, all he needed to do was silently meditate and the whispers of ss Runes woulde to him naturally.
He realized that this might mean that he could improve the Foundation of the Runes of <ss Prism Arts> without much effort on his part at all.
But, it didn''t seem as easy to meditate on Runes as it was in the past. There seemed to be a cap ced not by Mancer''s Blossom any longer, but rather his own Will.
From what Ss could see, he still couldn''t see 40 Foundation Runes through Mancer''s Blossom. Meaning, he wouldn''t be able to improve <ss Prism Arts> like he expected.
But...
''If I strengthen my Will further, will I be able to unlock it?''
Ss went through a wave of emotions before he even got to <ssveil Shift>.
Ever since he saw the abilities of <Shadow Warp>, Ss had wanted such an ability. In the Frostbane Sylph Dungeon, he had gotten <Frostbane Escape>, but he had unfortunately been unable to use it.
[Frostbane Escape (FFF-) (Race Skill)]
[Deconstruct the body into Frostbane Runes and reappear in any location with <10> meters with sufficient Frostbane Aether concentration]
[Note: Limited to Elemental Races]
Unfortunately, that Limited to Elemental Races aspect had really pigeonholed him, making the skill entirely useless to him.
But now he had a warp skill that he could finally use himself.
''I''ll need to find time to drill it properly. Warp Skills take a notoriously long time to cast and aren''t usually viable in the middle of battle. It''s also a bit disappointing that an F+ Gene Skill would not only cost far more than an FFF- Skill, but also have the same teleportation range at the Fragmented Mastery level... but I guess this is the price for being able to use an ability like this one without being of a special Race...''
20 Units of Aether was more than a fifth of his current base Intelligence. But it was worth it if it would save his life at a critical point.
Plus... once his Mastery increased, it wouldn''t be so steep a price.
Ss'' head suddenly turned in a direction as he sensed several figures approaching. However, they weren''t enemies. He felt the presence of Alex immediately, and then there was Cole and
his family.
Ss wasn''t sure why they had exited so muchter than he had, but given the time dtion, even a difference of a split second could be quite a while, so though he slotted the thought to the back of his mind, he didn''t put too much stock into it.
Alex gazed around for a moment before his gaze locked onto Ss.
"You know the portals around here quite well, right?" Ss asked, recalling that Alex had a map of the portals in the region thanks to Legacy.
"I do."
"Then do you know of any that have shortcuts back to Terranova?"
Ss already felt like the answer would be yes before he asked. In fact, he already had his next
nsid out.
The Woond Territory could wait. He would return for its Aether Stone Mine after he retrieved the Basilisk Skin Armor from Cassarae.
It was time he got more aggressive with how he dealt with the powers of Earth...
And he would start by robbing the Africor Continent blind.
