An Unexpected Gain! (4)

…

I start looking at my body, and I realize that although the cracks still exist, they are much less

Besides, unlike before, there is no blood running from them

However, even so the energy contained in my muscles does not decrease

On the contrary, the energy contained in them seems to be even greater

"Oh, it looks like I was right! By distributing that strange energy to all the muscles, instead of leaving them only in my arms and legs. It made the energy much stronger and more stable! This is very good! Huehue! I'm crazy to cut this tree right now. However, now that I have turned this technique into a Skill, things will be easier! First I have to disable this Skill to check what it does!"

With that in mind, I quickly focus my mind on disabling Skill

A few seconds later, I feel my muscles relax and all the energy previously contained in them disappears

Right after that, I feel my head hurt and I feel a little dizzy

Feeling this, I quickly sit on the floor

"Huehuehue! I was so excited about my new Skill. That I ended up forgetting about the side effect of using <Bullet Time>! Anyway! I'm going to use this opportunity, to see my new Skill checked!"

Still being a little dizzy, I open my status and notice that in the Skill tab there is a new Skill

============================================

<Skills >

-Eidetic Memory <Passive >

-Distorted Personality <Passive >

-Lying <Passive >

-Bullet Time <Active >

-Punching Bag <Passive >

-Phantom Steps (Level 9) <Active >

-Steal (Level 7) <Active >

-Martial Master <Passive >

-Improved Regeneration <Active > Inactive

- ???????????? <Passive > Inactive

-Monster <Passive >

-Basic Tailoring (Level 1) <Active >

-Basic Smithing (Level 1) <Active >

-Boost <Active > (NEW)

============================================

Seeing this I don't think twice, and I quickly use my mind to expand Skill

<Boost >

[Type: Active] [Cooldown: 600 seconds]

[Acquisition Method: Skill acquired after the user has mastered an advanced strengthening technique]

[With this Skill, the user is able to temporarily enter the state called [Impulse], where Strength and Dexterity attributes of the user are increased by 5X]

[Cost: 1.000 Stamina / 6 Stamina per second] [Activation Condition: Think or Say the Skill name]

(Note: The Skill effect only affects the user's basic Strength and Dexterity! Any temporary increase in Strength and Dexterity obtained through Items or Skills will remain unchanged!)

"I see! So this Skill increases my STR and DEX! Man, if I had that when I fought Red, the fight would have been a lot easier! Sigh! Anyway! From what I saw, the hidden status values ​​here in Skarseld are the same as in Babel Tower.

Therefore, Health, Stamina and Mana recoveries depend on two attributes, Vitality and Intelligence. In the game, the player recovered half the Attribute value per minute. In other words, as I have 147 Vitality, I recover 73 Health and Stamina per minute. In the case of Mana, as my intelligence is 53, I recover approximately 26 mana per minute!

Anyway! I currently have 4.410 Stamina. Therefore, after discounting the 1.000 Stamina I need to activate the Skill, I can still keep it active for approximately 11 minutes. Of course, this is if I don't use any more Skill that spends Stamina! It's not a long time, so I have to activate this Skill at the right time! Her Cooldown is 10 minutes! Sigh! Only, now I realize how strong the Skill I got from Sakdal is. After all, although the effect is incredible, the cost to keep it activated is almost non-existent!"

After reading the Skill description a few more times, I close my status and get up and start doing some stretches

When I do that, I notice that I am no longer dizzy

Realizing this, I stop stretching, and hit my head with my hand when I remember a small detail

"Damn it! I ended up forgetting to pay attention to the duration of the <Bullet Time> side effect. So I'm not sure if it decreased again! Well, I'll have to check this out next time! Sigh!"

After sighing, I decide to resume my stretches

As soon as I finish my stretches, I take a deep breath and activate my Skill

"<Boost >!"

[Success!]

In less than a second, all the muscles in my body start to swell

After a few seconds, several crackles appear on the surface of my skin

Seeing these cracks, I quickly check my attributes

STR: 30 -> STR: 150

DEX: 30 -> DEX: 150

"Oh, it really did! Tsk! As expected, my Stamina remains the same! Well, it would be weird if it did! After all, that would mean that I would have more time to use Skill, because I was using Skill!"

I feel danger coming from my back

When I feel this, I instinctively turn around and punch

BLOW!

My punch hits the head of a monster that was trying to ambush me

After being hit by my punch the monster's head explodes, and the monster's body is sent flying

As I watch the scene stunned, I hear a beep ring in my head followed by several notifications

[Critical-Attack]

[The host killed the [Level 4] [Rushed-Panther]!]

[+375 Experience points acquired!]

[+20 Reinforcements Points acquired!]

[New skill acquired successfully!]

[Fatal Blow!]

I stand without knowing how to react to the information contained in those notifications

However, I quickly recover, and say

"Wow! One hit, one kill! Besides that my enemy's head fucking exploded! Sick! Let me see, according to Elizabeth's notifications, that corpse belongs to... Oh, it's another Cat! From what I see, different than me I killed it before, this was level 4! However, that is not what matters. What matters is that I won another Skill! Huehue! It looks like today is the day to gain Skills!"

I quickly open my Status to check my new Skill

<Fatal Blow>

[Type: Active] [Cooldown: 3.600 seconds]

[Acquisition Method: Skill acquired after the user kills a being of a similar level, using just one stroke]

[Increases user attack by 5X]

[Cost: 1.000 Stamina] [Activation Condition: Think or Say the Skill name]

(Note: None)

"Yeah! I finally have an Attack Skill! Wait... multiply my attack by 5X? You gotta be kidding me! That's amazing! Okay, in the game the base attack of a player is the Strength plus the Damage of the Weapon. I currently have 150 Strength, but I don't have any weapons equipped. Therefore, my damage when using this Skill is... 750 Damage! N,no way... that damage is sick! I hope the Game developers don't nerf my Skill! Huehuehue! Anyway! This guy showed up just in time. After all-"

[The host is hungry!]

[The system suggests is: Quench your hunger by eating something!]

"-I'm starting to get hungry! Huehuehue! Elizabeth, you read my mind! Okay, first of all I'm going to disable this Skill! After all, using it spends a lot of Stamina!"

I quickly concentrate my mind, and deactivate Skill <Boost >, thus leaving the <Impulse > state

After doing this, I start walking towards the monster's body

Once there I squat down, and using Chunchunmaru, I cut off a piece of the monster

After that, I put the piece of meat in my mouth and slowly chew it while I think

"Chomp! Chomp! Chomp! Chomp!"

'After eating, I think I'm finally going to cut that damn tree in half! Huehuehue!'
