BXBX NOVEL Chapter 747: God of Birth Gaerna
Chapter 747: God of Birth Gaerna
‘The reason is simple. As the level of the players increases, the level of their enemies and the monsters that they face will also increase. Thus, using such skills against high-leveled enemies would not bring about any results at all.’
It would have been nice if the player’s skills could also grow stronger the higher their levels. Unfortunately, skills had clear limits.
The unique rank ‘Three Consecutive Stabs’ that novice players usually received was a skill that would allow them to stab their opponents three times in a row, with an additional 35% attack. What about the normal rank ‘Veteran’s Sword’ that high-leveled knight players learned? It was also a skill that would allow them to stab their opponents three times in a row. However, it had an additional 1,400% attack. As mentioned above, most of the skills that players used in the past would grow obsolete as time passed by.
Currently, under the input of the Swords of the Gods, Ellie’s Swordsmanship, a skill with a buff effect, had grown better than it was before. Even the black aura that wrapped around Minhyuk’s body in the hologram as his figure used Ellie’s Swordsmanship showed a much more imposing momentum than before.
“Do you like it?”
‘Do I like it you ask?! I really, really like it.’
“The special ability to increase all stats was set to increase even the other trivial stats. However, Ellie’s Swordsmanship is a combat skill. Instead of increasing all of the stats and the evasion rate, we focused on the stats that affect combat, and also increased the mana required accordingly.”
The player’s total mana would increase the higher the level the player had reached. It was only natural for the mana required to increase with the increase in skill effect.
The second was Sword of Frenzy. Minhyuk’s figure in the hologram displayed the skill and used it against a wooden doll.
‘The skill will trigger six consecutive strikes with 400% additional attack and 100% additional damage upon a successful strike on an enemy’s vital point. It will also deal six consecutive strikes with 100% additional damage to everyone within a five meter radius.’
When Minhyuk had just entered the ranks of high rankers, this skill had displayed a tremendous amount of power. Right now, that was no longer the case.
“This skill is definitely excellent. However, I can feel that its focus is neither here nor there.”
“It attacks the target, as well as all of the enemies within a five meter radius. I think this power would be more efficient if we can focus that damage on one target.”
The Swords of the Gods began to modify the Sword of Frenzy.
“First, let’s take out that unnecessary area of effect.”
“Since it’s a power that attacks the vital point, it would be good if it can be activated even if the attack did not directly hit the opponent.”
“It would be a big deal if the attack doesn’t work even if the vital point was hit, right? Then, how about adding this effect?”
“I think that’s good.”
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book has rejected the creation of Ellie’s Swordsmanship’s Skill for the fourth…]
“Hmm. Then, how about we adjust this part down a bit and limit the number of times that it can be used?”
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book…]
“I think we can increase the amount of mana required more.”
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book…]
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book has approved the creation of Ellie’s Swordsmanship!]
[You can now view the second effect of the newly created swordsmanship skill!]
(Sword of Frenzy)
Active Skill
Type of Swordsmanship: XX’s Swordsmanship
Mana Required: 3,000
Cooldown: 30 minutes
Effects:
•You can hit the enemy’s vital points just by stabbing within a five meter radius.
•Twelve consecutive attacks with 500% additional damage each will be triggered upon successful attack on a vital point.
•You have an 80% chance of ignoring all of your enemy’s defenses.
“…”
Minhyuk was at a loss for words.
‘This is completely…’
At this point, even the word ‘crazy’ was not enough to describe the skill. With a 500% additional damage, dealing at least eight attacks would mean that he would be able to deal a total of 4,000% additional damage to his enemies.
However, the most shocking part of the skill was the 80% chance of ignoring the enemy’s defenses. Defense was a very important factor. There was nearly a 40% difference in the amount of damage between players wearing armor with a 100 defense and armor with a 1,000 defense.
Because of that, the Sword of Frenzy could be said to have an effect of more than 4,000% damage if the last effect was triggered.
[The God who Loves to Cook watches you with interest as you create a new skill.]
[The God who Rules Over All Armies watches you as you create a new skill.]
[The God who Does Not Know When to Back Down…create a new skill.]
[The God who Likes to Create and Destroy All Skills and Abilities is surprised to see the birth of a new skill.]
The God who Likes to Create and Destroy All Skills and Abilities was none other than the God of Abilities and Destruction, the same being that had created the ‘;Pinnacle Skills’ and sent them down to earth. He was watching the creation of a new skill with bated breath.
The Swords of the Gods continued to modify and create the new skill. The next skill that they tackled was the Heaven Tearing Sword, that could cut down all the enemies within a five meter radius with attacks that had 600% additional damage.
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book has approved the creation of Ellie’s Swordsmanship!]
[You can now view the third effect of the newly created swordsmanship skill!]
(Heaven Tearing Sword)
Active Skill
Type of Swordsmanship: XX’s Swordsmanship
Mana Required: 4,500
Cooldown: 35 minutes
Effects:
•There is a 70% chance of enemies falling into a two-second stunned state after getting directly hit by the five meter long sword light.
•Those that are directly hit by the sword light will be pierced by the attack even if it does not initially cut them.
•If the sword light directly hits the target, an additional 3,500% damage will be inflicted.
•There is a 7% chance of the enemy falling into a six-second stunned state after getting directly hit by the sword light.
“Wow…”
[The God who Rules Over All Armies secretly casts a sidelong glance at you.]
[The God who Does Not Know When to Back Down groans.]
[The God who Likes to Create and Destroy All Skills and Abilities’ face has turned a bright shade of red.]
[The God who Loves to Cook wants to exchange it for a dish that they made.]
Plenty of gods watched and looked forward to the creation of the new swordsmanship. Each time a new chapter was finished, Minhyuk would be pleasantly surprised.
Next was the Sword of Tempest, a skill that was best suited for dealing with huge numbers of enemies. The skill would release hundreds of blades with 250% attack and indiscriminately attack all of the enemies around the skill user for six seconds. It could also increase the movement speed by 200%.
“This skill forces His Majesty Minhyuk to jump in the middle of the enemies’ ranks.”
“Is that even necessary?”
“How about fixing this part right here and making it like this?”
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book has approved the creation of Ellie’s Swordsmanship!]
They ran a total of twelve simulations to complete all of the chapters of the swordsmanship skill.
(Sword of Tempest)
Active Skill
Type of Swordsmanship: XX’s Swordsmanship
Mana Required: 6,500
Cooldown: 50 minutes
Effects:
•You can summon a typhoon-like sword that has an ego of its own.
•Hundreds of blades will appear and dance around the typhoon-like sword. The skill user’s basic speed will be increased by 150% and applied to the blades that will cut down the enemies.
•Movement speed will also increase by 300% during the skill duration. The skill duration is three minutes.
“…”
Minhyuk clenched his fists tightly. The skills created by the Swords of the Gods were perfect. He could already feel his own perspiration start to pool in his hands.
Before, the Sword of Tempest would release hundreds of blades that danced around his body and create a tempest to cut down the enemies. But the Sword of Tempest now could summon a typhoon-like sword that has an ego of its own to cut down the enemies; there was no need for him to put himself in unnecessary danger.
[You have recreated and modified the skill: Ellie’s Swordsmanship using the Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book.]
[You can use the previous swordsmanship skill’s name for the newly created skill’s name or change the skill’s name to a new one.]
[The Six Monster God’s Skill Creation Book has shown a response to you for creating a shocking skill!]
[Easter Egg. The One that has Transcended the Six Monster God’s Skill Creation Book’s grade.]
[You can create one additional chapter and add it as the swordsmanship’s final chapter.]
[The final swordsmanship that will be created will be the XX’s Swordsmanship’s lethal attack skill!]
[No one else can interfere in the creation of the final swordsmanship.]
[You have eight simulations left.]
This was a very welcome notification for Minhyuk. However, this time, the Swords of the Gods could no longer lend him a helping hand.
Minhyuk pondered deeply over the matter. ‘How about combining all of these skills and creating a new swordsmanship that’s similar to the Sword of Absolute Death?’
This was the easiest and most basic idea. Minhyuk tried to create the skill and immediately ran a simulation.
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book has rejected the creation of Ellie’s Swordsmanship’s Skill for the thirteenth…]
The Swords of the Gods did not have it easy either earlier, so Minhyuk maintained his calm and tried again.
‘Then, let’s discard the thought about combining everything together. Let’s just combine the benefits of the Heaven Tearing Sword and the Sword of Frenzy.’
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book… fourteenth time…]
‘If this doesn’t work, then let’s increase the mana required.’
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book… fifteenth time…]
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book… seventeenth time…]
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book… eighteenth time…]
Minhyuk started to panic. He now realized how great Don and the Swords of the Gods were. After all, they were able to pinpoint all of the shortcomings of the skill and put in everything that he would need in the new one. That could only be done if they had sharp and good eyes. On the other hand, Minhyuk, who was the one that owned the skill and was well-versed in his character window, continued to fail.
‘I will succeed this time.’
Minhyuk lowered his expectations and tried once again.
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book has approved the creation of Ellie’s Swordsmanship.]
Minhyuk almost howled in delight. This was the birth of a new skill that could become his new lethal move, right? However, that was not the case at all.
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book has judged that it feels lacking to be called a lethal move.]
[Would you like to continue with the creation of the skill?]
“…”
The skill creation book rejected the skill as a lethal move. With this, Minhyuk had used up all of his simulations. In other words, Minhyuk had to create a skill that was strong enough to be called a lethal move by calculating solely in his head.
Roll, roll, roll—
“…?”
While Minhyuk continued to calculate and ponder deeply, he saw a potion bottle roll and stop in front of the Swords of the Gods. The moment Don and the Swords of the Gods’ realized what just happened, the bottle exploded.
Baaaaaaaaaaaang—
[You have inhaled Mandala’s Potion of Restriction!]
[You cannot use all of your skills and potions for five minutes.]
[Your resistance to abnormal statuses has decreased by 40%.]
[All of your defensive power has decreased by 30%.]
[All of your attack power has decreased by 30%.]
[You will experience difficulty in breathing.]
“Keheoook!”
“Ughh!”
“Urrrk?!”
Everyone inhaled the smoke, which spread at the speed of light from the potion bottle, and they could not help but be shocked. They all felt like the power in their bodies decreased all at once. They even found it difficult to breathe, as if they had been choked by smoke for a long time. The abnormal status did not allow them to get back to their senses.
“Kihyeeeeeeeeeeeck!”
Then, at that moment, a terrible roar resounded everywhere, as something hurtled through the walls of the prison and slammed into Knight Beloch.
“Keuaaaaaaaaack!”
Beloch could not come to his senses in time to respond and was sent flying back.
The thing that slammed into Beloch was floating in the air. It resembled a gigantic carp with a huge fin on its head. It also had scales that looked both shiny and tough, and a tail that looked like that of a dragon’s tail.
[The one that successfully kills the Great Spirit will receive rewards!]
[The Great Spirit is a unique being that does not drop any artifact or gold!]
[However, you will be able to gain a lot of EXP upon successful hunting!]
[The Great Spirit is currently in a berserk state!]
[The Berserk Great Spirit has received the protection of Mandala.]
[Berserk Great Spirit. Level 832.]
That was when they saw a man standing on the head of the Great Spirit and holding tightly on its fin. That man was none other than Mandala.
Minhyuk’s hands instantly moved to grab a bottle of potion the moment he saw Mandala and the Great Spirit.
Pop—
He drank everything in one go.
[You have consumed Mandala’s Growth Potion.]
[You will be able to gain 30 times the amount of EXP that you will acquire in one hour!]
The opportunity to bomb his way through his levels has arrived.
‘Let’s go for Level 600 in one go!’
