[Bonus chapter]Skill Creation

"Kiyaaaa! Let the vengeful spirits burn you alive, humans!!"

The Wraith Queen displayed the tenacity of a dungeon boss as she screamed out and released a burst of mana, pushing back the party members who had gotten close.

While her action doubled as an attack, Eliza' timely used her barrier skill, preventing them from taking damage.

Looking at the scene of the Wraith Queen summoning a dozen more wraiths, Evan came to a decision.

He brushed aside the wraiths that were nearing him with a single swing and then pulled his sword back slightly.

This was not a sword technique he learned from Finley, but a sword technique from his previous world he had been forced to learn by his eccentric father.

It focused the entire body's power into the sword tip and penetrated the enemy.

By pouring all of one's concentration into the sword tip, it created a single blow that surpassed the limit of humans.

However, that was the case in his previous world.

The current Evan would be considered a superhuman in that world, so if someone already above the human limit used it, what would be the result?

"Pride, you're up."

The sword, or rather the demon Pride who resided in the sword responded by imbuing demonic energy into the sword.

Even if Pride had been reduced to a mere level 51, her energy manipulation skills were still top-notch.

In fact, they had gotten even better.

When Evan asked her how she achieved that while being sealed, she replied with blank eyes.

'When you're trapped alone for 1000 years, you end up learning new things to prevent yourself from going insane due to the loneliness.'

Deciding once more not to bring up the topic of the time she spent sealed, Evan wrapped the demonic energy and magic power in a spiral current around his sword.

The amount of the very obviously 'Evil' energy made both priestesses shiver in their boots, even the Wraith queen couldn't help but take a step back in fear.

The sword tip began to tremble, but he held it back with his willpower alone.

For a move that poured everything into a single attack, not a shred of hesitation or wavering could be allowed.

Naturally, the wraith queen would not sit back and watch him attempt to end her life.

Even if another wraith queen would take her place after she was killed, it did not change the fact that the current one possessed an instinct to survive

"GO!"

She screamed out and the summoned wraiths began to move once more. The party members snapped out of their stupor and circled around Evan to protect him from the wraiths.

[Leave Master alone!]

Kayla screamed out as she rose her hands in the air, causing a wave of lightning to spread out with her as the centre.

She then slammed her palms together as lightning rained down from above, incinerating dozens of wraiths.

**PANG!!!!!

Even so, the wraith queen only summoned more as if she had an infinite amount of magic power, something that Evan would normally find weird, but he was too focused to deal with it for now.

[The goddess 'Artemisia' stares at you in shock]

[The 'Eternal of Time and Destruction' says that even if one's memories are erased, they cannot forget what has been engraved in their souls.

He tells the goddess 'Artemisia' to take note of this]

Evan ignored the two messages that appeared and focused on keeping the mana on his sword from running wild.

He had been having the idea of this move for a while and really wanted to try it out, now was the best time.

No words entered his ears.

The only important thing to him right now was this attack.

He devoted his entire focus to this attack.

The attack timing came as a surprise. It was the moment right before the Wraith Queen tried to use another Vengeful Spirit Wail and also the moment right before 100% buff ended.

He thrust out with his sword, one word leaving his lips.

[Vortex]

**PUUUK!!

Surprisingly, a soft sensation like sticking a fork through cake flowed through his arm.

He smiled in response. He knew this attack was a success. There was no chance that it failed.

"KIYAAAAAA!!!"

The Wraith Queen let out a bloodcurdling scream, slowly turning transparent.

At the same time, in front of the ten party members, she drew her last breath, or the ghost equivalent of that.

A notification appeared in front of Evan.

|Skill Created|

|Vortex;

Type: Personal Unique Skill

This skill cannot be lost or taken away.

This skill cannot be used by anyone other than the user.

Effect;

Using a special breathing method combined with a special energy circulation method, it takes the artificial current of energy that is generated around the user's weapon and explodes it forward. Everything in its path would be torn to shreds. |

Seeing this, Evan had one thought.

'I can create skills?'

The aura on his sword died down, alongside the demonic energy Pride infused into it.

The party members, on the other hand, stared at him in shock as the party leader shook his head with a sigh.

'He keeps surprising me every time.'

Eliza, who finally gained the courage to talk to him after seeing the demonic energy on his sword die down, came up and was about to ask if he was injured but-

"U-um are you-"

[Don't disturb Master, Loudmouth!]

-she was interrupted by Kayla who arbitrarily manifested herself and threatened to strike her with lightning.

Upon Kayla's sudden appearance, two words came to the minds of all of the party members watching.

'Spirit Contractor!'

There was no need to tell them, seeing the small cm girl floating around him with strong lightning, the same lightning they remembered ending all the wraiths in a single strike before, they instantly figured out she was a spirit.

As for Eliza who was interrupted-

"S-so Cute!"

-she seemed to have fallen for Kayla's cuteness and had forgotten what she was about to ask Evan.

Evan who had finally finished checking out his new skill looked up to see a strange sight of Kayla flying away from a drooling Eliza.

"What the actual fuck?"

Hearing his voice, Kayla turned to him and ran towards him for protection from Eliza.

[Master, Loudmouth is scary.]

"Loudmouth?"

He then turned his gaze in Eliza's direction and remembered he had indeed once called her a loudmouth, that was probably where Kayla got that from.

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says you should not teach the young spirit useless things]

'I'm sorry but I don't think I taught her that. Still, it seems you care for your younger sister huh?'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' chokes on her dr-]

|Message Retracted by sender. |

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says you should not refer to the spirit as her sister.]

'Why do I get the feeling you're watching me like you would a movie with popcorn and a drink?'

[The goddess 'Artemisia' says you are clearly Mistaken.]

[She places great Emphasis on this]
