Chapter 875 Sign of Battle
"Unfortunately old man, the destiny is gone. There\'s no more destiny in this world. Anything could happen. Well, I understand your thoughts."
He muttered.
Soon, the two arrived at the surface. They met the trio who was waiting for them anxiously. Heimer, Baldur, and Princess Dreimi breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two return safely.
"A lot of things have happened but we are here. Let\'s return to the Arsen Kingdom." Souta said to them.
Heimer, Baldur, and Princess Dreimi nodded at his words.
Since there was nothing else to do, the group quickly departed from their location.
Souta thought about the things that he would do now. His plan was still the same and he only change a few little things about it.
\'I will groom the others into top-notch experts. They have combat arts, techniques, and spells. The only problem is the resources to increase their growth rate. Also, their artifacts are all low-grade. They didn\'t even have a single dark grade.\'
Saya imparted most of the techniques, combat arts, and spells that she knew. If it wasn\'t enough then they could get some in the Athen\'s Champion like what Eilish did. Saya wasn\'t an expert in spells so her knowledge about it couldn\'t be compared to the people that studied spellcasting. So the spells that she imparted were too few compared to combat arts and techniques.
He could only farm low grade resources in Ekatoe City. It was only for the experts below B-rank. He couldn\'t train high level experts using those meager resources.
That\'s why dungeon exploring was important. Alice and the rest were currently exploring dungeons and labyrinths. He was looking forward to their harvest.
\'As for my own strength... I have enough. I already consumed tons of legendary grade ingredients. My current strength is already beyond the scope of any fourth stage.\'
After this mission, Souta would volunteer to participate in the battle. He would choose the battlefield and head to the Selnes Country which would be later known as Selnes Theater. He didn\'t participate in this battlefield in the game so he didn\'t have any idea about what happened here.
The only thing he knew was that Selnes Country was a Large Country in the past but their gods had fallen so they were reduced to a Small Country level. Although they were Small Country, they still have defense formation that was better than most of the Small Countries. It was left by their gods and a lot of people from other Small Countries wanted it for themselves.
\'Tears of Divine Might... I wonder how it would affect me. I only ate four mythical grades in the game and it really enhanced my combat ability to the highest degree.\'
Souta wondered. Then, he shook his head. He took out the book that he stole from Nightmare King.
The [Void Entanglement] and [Void Shrouding].
These two skills were unique and they were classified as Synchro Skills. It could be a spell or combat art but these were Synchro Skill. Not every type of spell could be used as a foundation for a Forbidden Spell. And not every type of combat art could be used for sublimation. Only spells and combat arts classified as Synchro Skills could be used.
The other skills wouldn\'t be able to hold the entirety of enhancement. They weren\'t exactly powerful. Some of them were even weaker than normal spells or combat arts.
Souta took a deep breath and used 2 skill points to learn the two skills.
*Ding!*
[You\'ve learned Void Entanglement(Level 1)!]
[You\'ve learned Void Shrouding(Level 1)!]
Souta closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body. He had grown stronger once again.
The [Void Entanglement] was a passive skill that enhanced his dark attribute by one hundred percent. It also increased his strength by 100 points, agility by 200 points, dexterity by 150 points, and vitality and intelligence by 100 points. It has the ability to resonate other dark attribute skills to the user\'s body. Also, it would increase his perception to the concept of space.
The [Void Shrouding] skill was a field type spell. It created a hollow area of darkness that lowered everyone\'s dark resistance by thirty percent and it enhanced the user\'s stats by 100 points. Through this spell, he could travel in the shadow for a short amount of time.
\'[Void Shrouding] is the only Synchro spell that I have. My other spells are powerful but they aren\'t Synchro so they couldn\'t hold the properties of Forbidden Spell.\'
Souta opened his palm and a magic circle appeared.
It was the magic circle of [Void Shrouding].
He observed the magic circle. He didn\'t notice any differences from other spells. He could only recognize that it was Synchro because of the system.
Sigh... He really needed to learn more.
Souta glanced at Eilish and threw the two skill books at her. "Here!"
Eilish reacted and caught the books with her hands. "This...?"
"Learn it. It\'s a foundation for Forbidden Spells. I think you will be able to master it faster than me." Souta explained.
"Oh, I see..." Eilish nodded as she stared at the books in her hands.
These two books were useless to him now since he already learned them. If he didn\'t have a system, he would have to spend a lot of time before he could use these two skills.
Next was the [Dream Power I].
Dream Power was divided into different types. First was a physical dream like the Dreaming Venomous Primate that he killed. It could enhance the physical power of the user to a certain degree.
Second was the element dream. It enhanced the user\'s elemental power and sometimes it even adds elemental affinity to the user.
Third was a manifestation dream. It was a power that could manifest a certain ability to the user. Each user has a different manifested ability. Some were useless and some were useful.
\'So... My Dream Power... Is it still the same as the game?\'
Souta closed his eyes and focused his attention on the Dream Power.
Huh?
Souta opened his eyes. He realized that his Dream Power was different from the game. It was different from the game in which he had the type of manifestation dream. This time, he had an element dream. He could only increase his element power to a certain degree with this ability.
\'I thought I would get the same as before but it seems that\'s not the case this time...\'
Souta said inwardly.
Still, the element dream could raise his elemental power close to the limit of the Integration Stage based on his estimation. If that\'s the case, then his skills and other elemental related ability would be enhanced as well. Not just that, just by activating [Element Drive] the added stats would increase too.
It\'s quite good now that he thinks about it.
He couldn\'t focus on training his elemental power since he was Devil Sea right now. They were close to the border of a nearby practicing his Archetype. So Dream Power would make up for it for the time being before he could use Archetype in real combat.
The group stopped at a huge cliff. They were quite far from the Devil Sea right now. They were close to the border of a nearby country.
Souta and Eilish frowned as they felt that something was wrong.
"Is there something wrong?" Princess Dreimi asked as she noticed their expressions were strange.
"The energy in the air is chaotic. The laws and concepts of this world are also fluctuating as if some power is pushing it aside." Eilish said in a low voice.
Souta nodded at her words. The laws and concepts of Planet Plunyx were stronger than the Boundary. Only powerful experts were capable of affecting the laws and concepts of this sub-world.
\'Well, aren\'t I the same?\' Souta smiled to himself.
"They aren\'t controlling it but the concepts are being affected somehow." Eilish frowned deeper. "Some powerful experts are fighting. The fluctuations of energy are overpowering everything else."
"Let\'s go... I wanted to see if there\'s really a capable person in this world." Souta smiled. He looked down at his hand and closed his palm. "So I still got it... This excitement, ah~, it feels like it\'s been a long time since I\'ve participated in a battle. I thought that I wouldn\'t feel anything but it seems I was wrong."
Eilish glanced at him and asked worriedly, "Are you sure that you\'ve recovered?"
"Yeah, you don\'t need to worry about me. I just wanted to fight right now. Experiencing countless deaths is too much for me." Souta grinned.
He stepped forward and the rest looked at him curiously. Souta looked back at them and said, "Prepare yourself, we\'ll travel at high speed. Eilish keep up with me."
Ten black spheres materialized behind Souta. He raised his hand and the gravitational field covered the three.
Before they could even process what was going on, a strong gravity pull them in a certain direction.
Whoosh!!
Souta flew into the sky with incredible speed, creating shockwaves in the places he passed by. Eilish followed behind him.
