11 Magical Innovation

After Kyren was sure he was alone, he took off his cloths so they wouldn't get destroyed and stored them in in a crack in space.

•<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<•

He chose Dragon's Breath because it was his most powerful skill. If he could better understand his most destructive ability then he could greatly increase his combat power.

'How can I make this stronger?'

[Dragon's Breath]

[Dragon's Breath]

[Dragon's Breath]

....

He used the skill over and over on nearby trees and rocks for hours, trying his best to get a feel for the process.

After many attempts and brain storming, he had an epiphany.

'It seems as though when I activate Dragon's Breath, dense mana gushes out of my lungs and releases out of my mouth, like taking a breath.

On the way through my throat, something causes the mana to go volatile and turn into a glowing purple mist...' he looked at the destruction he caused with a blank stare as the gears in his brains went into overdrive.

'What if I was to focus the output of the mana into a a straight line?

What if I concentrated the magic into short bursts? Like throwing a baseball.'

<Remark>

"You are now a pursuer of destruction and mayhem.... but isn't this a late game skill?"

•<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<•

Kyren was utterly dumbfounded by the improvements he made to single skill.

'Is it really that easy to improve a skill!?!'

<Haha, absolutely not, this is due to the abnormally high synchronization rate and your great problem solving skills. Growth potential and intelligence attribute also played a part.>

'So that's what synchronization effects in the game!'

[Dragon's Breath: Focused Breath]

*VWWOOOMMFFFF*

[Dragon's Breath: Spatial Bomb]

*BOOOMMMM*

Great dins of sound spread throughout the entire forest as whole chunks of vegetation just disappeared. The destruction those two attacks caused was massive and the explosions were so violent, that the people in Kassio could feel a slight tremor.

".....Damn....."

*Ting*

{Description}

<Remark>

"Bigger BOOM!"

•<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<•

Now that Kyren did some magical innovation, he now needed to get the proof of his death to the guild. This destruction was the perfect stage for a fight between Kyren and the Void Dragon.

'How do I go about this?'

<Once you obtain the [Pain Tolerance] proficiency, you will unlock the option to tone down how much pain you feel. I suggest you do that as soon as you obtain it, even if the affects are negligible.>

'Good call. Can I actually do this? Aren't dragon's like super tough? Will everything grow back for sure?'

<If you use the innate skill [Dragon Slash] then it won't be impossible. As for growing back, high grade magical lifeforms can grow back amputated limbs and destroyed organs with their mana, it's one of the reasons why your lifespan is infinite.>

Kyren did as Leo instructed and started ripping off scales, cutting off horns, slicing off spikes, and pulling out teeth.

Even though he was skeptical at first, everything started growing back fairly quickly.

<You have discovered the proficiencies [Pain Tolerance], [Mental Tolerance], [Dissection] and [Harvest].>

Every level of pain tolerance he gains, he will be able to adjust an additional 7% of the pain he feels. But even with the reduction, he still felt like he was stabbing himself and ripping out his hair.

.....

Kyren collapsed and started breathing heavily.

<Your health is now at 60%. Did I mention that since your body has mana circulating to every part, that this will be more painful?>

"NO!!!"

He immediately started funneling mana into his wounds to speed up the healing process. Sadly it drained his mana and mental energy so he had to wait a minute before he could repeat the process.

.....

After numerous hours of pain and agony, he was on his final attempt before his torpor knocked him out.

<Are you sure you wanna do this? Even with 21% pain reduction, this will hurt far more than a normal amputation.>

'I need some hide. This is beneficial for me in the long run. I won't take any permanent damage so it should be fine.'

<*Sigh* Just don't do your tail. Tails are very sensitive despite you technically being a lizard.>

Kyren found a nearby rock and placed his left arm onto it. He raised his glowing purple claw and cut down with all his might.

*ROOAAARRRR*

Kyren let out an earth shattering Dragon's Roar from the pain. He quickly used [Gene Transformation: Gene Fluctuation (human)] to lessen the burden of the healing and poured some magic around the lifeless arm to keep it in pristine condition.

Leo taught him how to use preservation magic for the amputation, but it will constantly drain his mana unlike knowing an actual spell. He had a lot of mana and a monstrous recovery rate so he didn't mind.

He covered his bleeding arm to stop as much blood loss but everything went black after that.

.....

When Kyren awoke from his deep slumber, it was night time.

His arm was as good as new so he heaved a sigh of relief.

He quickly put on his cloths and cloak, leaving the mask off because he didn't see a need to keep it on right now, and stored the mountains of materials into his dimensional storage.

He hauled the massive dragon's arm over his shoulder and started heading back to the city through the forest.

The arm was a couple meters long and supposedly weighed far more than Kyren himself, but he had no problem carrying it like a potato sack.

.....

When he was near the main road he smelled something metallic with his sharp sense.

Blood...

He rushed over to the source and quickly found bodies littering the floor. None of them were human. It looked like a war scene between a large wolf pack and a lot of undead skeleton creatures.

"MEDIC!!! I need a medic over here!!"

•<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<•

Although Kyren was surprised by the severity of the punishment, he didn't hesitate to start searching. He would've helped even if there was a curse for the punishment or not.

28 seconds...

He pushed all of his senses to the max and quickly found a soul that was just barely hanging on.

Once he was at a small and bloody wolfs side, he hurriedly consulted Leo.

<Even if you owned a healing spell, you would need to have the strength of an A~grade healer to be able to actually save it.>

'Crap.... I'll try sending my mana into it.'

<Your draconic mana is overwhelmingly dense, it might not surv->

'I have to try!'

Ignoring the warm silver blood that was still leaking out, Kyren put pressure on the wounds and transferred a small stream of mana into the fading wolf.

<You have discovered the proficiency, [First Aid].>
