My new OP skills (2)

I have no idea if I could learn more skills from slime cores, which were unattainable for humans. I just obtained one and I hope I can obtain other skills too, not just from the slime cores but also from other cores that humans can't use to get skills. If that were possible, I can swap premium cores for cheaper ones to get the skills. It would save a lot of money for me.

Not all cores are as cheap as slime cores, there are a few monsters whose cores are very costly, even if they can't be absorbed as EXP or used to get a skill. This was because either the monsters were scarce or too powerful to hunt or they had other uses.

It doesn't matter anyway, if I can absorb all cores, then I don't need to hunt powerful creatures to get most skills but it would be a waste to get so many skills if I can't find a way to improve my skill levels. No matter how many skills I have, having them at the lowest level would make me a weak person.

Only by improving my skills, can I become strong enough to deter the troubles that would come my way. Anyway, let's see if I can get other skills from the slimes.

I took out another core and absorbed it. As I did that, the same notification appeared when I first absorbed the core.

[Detected Monster Core...Devourer Physique activated.]

[Please select if you want EXP or Skills.]

"Skills", I chose.

[Detected skills: Devour, Fusion, Split, Bounce, Water Ball, Acid Spray...]

I already have Devour. Absorbing it doesn't make it grow stronger, but the core would be wasted. So I chose the next skill shown in the sequence, Fusion. There is a reason for that, because, like Devour, it's grade was EX.

Normally the system doesn't show the grade of the skills, because their power value changes with improving the skill level and also when you rank up. I wonder if EX is even a grade. I should check that up when I have time.

Now let's check whether it worked or not.

Ah, I got the skill. Let's see what exactly it is useful for.

--

Fusion (EX): Merge with your clones and obtain what they gained. The gains wouldn't be between 1-100%.

--

Say what?

This is definitely an OP skill. If I merge my clone with me, then I would gain the benefits that my clone worked for. Even though the benefits gained were not 100%, this skill should be considered as a cheat, but there lies the problem. I don't have a cloning skill to go with it.

I should find a cloning skill after I...wait, for the slime to have this skill means that it should have a cloning skill. There are a lot of cloning skills. I should see what skills the slime has first, to verify if it has any cloning skills.

I took out another slime core and absorbed it.

[Detected Monster Core...Devourer Physique activated.]

[Please select if you want EXP or Skills.]

"Skills", I chose.

[Detected skills: Devour, Fusion, Split, Bounce, Water Ball, Acid Spray...]

I quickly browsed through the skills that the slime had. There it is. It's called Split, right next to Fusion.

Though I had never heard of a cloning skill with the name, I am sure that it is a cloning skill. First the other skills doesn't apear to be a cloning skills and the second reason was the position of the name that it was displayed.

I have a vague feeling that the system was displaying the skills in the order that I needed. I can't say for sure but that was the only possible thing I could think of.

Well, even it wasn't the cloning skill, it won't be a loss. I can buy one later when I return home in a few months. So I absorbed the core.

--

Split (EX): Make a clone of you, and decide the attributes and skills that they would possess. The number of clones depend on the level of the skill. The attributes would be gone if they were destroyed.

--

Yes, this is it. Split is a cloning skill. Now with this, I can not only improve faster but also can use them as decoys when I am in danger. Afterall, this is the reason why most learn the cloning skill.

One of the cloning skill have a effect of relaying information to the original if they were destroyed. I don't know the name, as it was restricted and was largely used by spies. This way they can inflitrate but that wouldn't put them in danger at that moment.

I wonder if my skill does that?

Hmm, there was no mention in the description. the only information available was that I can make clones and allocate strength as I wish, according to the skill level. Also that the attributes would be lost if the clone was destroyed.

Except for this information, there is nothing, but like the two skills I got from the slime cores, this skill was also graded as EX grade. I should really find what this EX grade represents soon.

Only by finding what it is can I understand what my skills can really do or else it would be considered as Half-assed work. For a pleasant life, I can't have that.
