10. Magic breathing

Jack was heading towards the golden tree while reading the description of max level skill weapon master, which increases my damage by 50% which is quite handy but the new understanding effect was even more amazing as it increases weapon stats, weapon skill damage and while holding the blade jack could think of many different ways to use it, many sword techniques popped in his head and after some trial and error he can perform them in combat jack thought, coupled with piercing attack it's even more better.

It works from both sides increasing my attack and reducing opponent's defence.

I untill now have no attack skill but rather than learning more skills i should focus on leveling up the current skills I have and for that I need to increase my level, I can consume soul stones to level up or improve my stats but they are quite precious in all fields like alchemy, blacksmithing, crafting, rune skill tire up, etc and after killing 60+ zombies and 80+ ants I have only found 30+ soul stones which means only 20% chance to drop the lowest grade tire 0 soul stone and as we go up in tire the drop rate decreases and the 20% is thanks to Tutorial buff, as jack was thinking all this jack reached to the tree he was hiding before attacking the ant queen.

The ant queen was allready level 15 in just 2 hours her level has increased by two and she also has fully healed. This is why she was the most scary opponent in the tutorial area.

The best thing about my ability was i needed same amount of exp to level up even if I use soul manipulation to level down, now jack was back to level 5 and he needs 1,600 exp to level up means approx 10 minions means in one more round i can level up my second passive skill mana breathing and even level up twice.

--------

Jack went to the queen attacked it reducing her hp when chance came and running when about to get hit and finally after 10 minutes queen summoned 80-90 common rank ant soilders and like last time after getting out of queens range i started killing them one by one but this time it only one hour to kill all of them.

After 1 hour,

I was about to use my ability to level up my skill last time but suddenly i got a new notification and i checked it,

* Ding

You have mercilessly slayed more slayed more than 100 ants and got a new title,

------------

Ant enemy ( common):

Description: you have killed to many ants.

Effect:

20% increased damage to ants and all ants will be hostile to you.

Notice: title can be upgraded.

-------------

About the title Jack knew but it was unavoidable, only saving grace was it can be improved.

Jack selected to level up the skill for the last time and after selecting yes to level up again a new message appeared,

* Ding

(Your title diligent one has triggered it's mutation effect while leveling up the skill and skill name and effect have changed plz check the skill)

Jack was surprised that 3% effect has triggered so early but he calmly checked the new skill.

-----------

Magic breathing:(B) (lv.5)

Type: mutant, passive

-regenerate 2% of your max mp during meditation with every breath and 1% of max mp with every breath during combat.

- During combat every breath you take before attacking increase your magic damage by 5%(max 50%), if you stop attacking the boost will reset.

-----------

All the skill effect increases tremendously if they undergo a mutation, a mutant rank B skill is similar to a rank A skill or sometimes even better, they also have a potential to grow and sometimes the growth might be limitless but this time there is a limit but still getting a rank up to my skill and a way to increase damage as well as a percentage boost makes it useful even in future all in all it was a great success.

Then jack removed a skill scroll he got while traveling inside the forest and scanned it,

-----------

Improved dexterity (F):(lv.1/5)

Type: passive

Effect:

Increases agility by 8.

-------------

Jack was disappointed by a f- Rank

skill but all types of stat points were appreciated for now so he swiftly used his 2 levels to increase the skill level by 2 using his ability.

He then approached the ant queen and attacked her the damage he could do has increased without level increase and his increase in agility made his maneuver ability easy after a while queen summoned her soldiers and jack disengaged from fighting the queen and escaped and ant soldiers followed jack the numbers were the same but it was much easy and jack grinded another round of ants and surprisingly it only took him 60 mins to kill all 84 ant soldiers and his level got to 8 after max leveling the skill he also got another skill scroll and his title also upgraded.

Now I have done all i can do, the incubator still has approx. 15 hours of cooldown I will kill and make her my soul warrior before that and see what happens to king after that.

Jack wanted her to be his first soul warrior becouse she has normal summoning skill, king summoning skill and her summons grow with her.

jack can now deal with ant soldier in 4-5 attacks without magic blade active he checked his title and skill while he left the forest towards the city.
