Chapter 26:- New and Awesome skills

"Can't you move a little faster?"

"Seriously! This is my first time flying using my own wings. I could have moved even faster if I was not carrying you." But in reality, Julia's weight was hardly giving him any problem.

"Are you saying that I am fat?" Julia angrily started punching his chest. She was not even using 10% of her strength. Aditya hardly felt anything.

After a moment both of them calmed down. When a moment of silence passed, Julia asked. "What happened back there? I am still confused about the whole thing?"

"I managed to break through. Now I have reached 2nd-order." Even Aditya was not expecting to level up. He momentarily had forgotten that he was very close to the breaking point.

"This fast!!! It hasn't been 6 days since you awoke your Bloodline? How did you do it?" Even the continent's most geniuses would at least take 6 to 1 year to reach 2nd-order. And here Aditya has done it in less than 5 days.

Aditya showed a helpless smile and replied in a helpless tone. "I don't know what exactly happened. My bloodline started reacting when I began killing. My whole body felt like it was burning on fire. When the burning sensation disappeared, my bloodline evolved. Now my bloodline is Crimson Heavenly Dragon." Half of his words were true while the other half were lies. The existence of the system was Aditya's top secret. For now, Aditya wanted to keep everything to himself.

"Wh..What did you say? Can you repeat your words?" Aditya wasn't sure why Julia was reacting this way.

"My bloodline evolve...No...No" She interrupted him.

"Not that part. Tell me the name of your bloodline?" Aditya wondered why Julia looked so shaken.

"Crimson Heavenly Dragon" Aditya replied.

"Aditya, are you lying to me?" Julia wanted to confirm once again.

"No, I am not. I am not in the mood of joking."

Sigh!

Julia took a deep breath to calm her heart. "Before you, only one Dragon in history shared the same dragon bloodline as you did. That person went on to become the Emperor of 7 continents. His single attack was enough to change the shape of this continent. Having the same bloodline as him means that you also have the potential to reach the Peak of cultivation."

"So, should I be happy?" Aditya asked with a straight face. With the system, Aditya never needed any bloodline. Even without a bloodline, just by killing he can reach the peak.

Sigh!

"Whatever, I shouldn't get too much worked up. Remember, Aditya you should never reveal your bloodline to someone that you don't trust. In this world, you will find billions of people who only care about their interests."

"I understand." After that neither Julia nor Aditya said anything. Both enjoyed the silence of the night.

Julia had many wild thoughts in her mind. After knowing Aditya's bloodline name, on the surface, she might look calm but her heart was not calm at all.

'If the world learns about his bloodline, I am sure his selfish parents would be the first to want him back in their family. Also, The Skeletal Isles won't simply stand by if they knew that in one of their neighboring Kingdoms, a King with Heavenly Dragon Bloodline has appeared. Other than that, almost all big kingdoms in this continent will try to marry their princess to Aditya. I don't want anyone to take away Aditya from this Kingdom. I have to talk things with Amber and Watson.' Without even realizing it, Julia was getting possessive of the Crimson Dragon.

Meanwhile, Aditya was taking his time to check his new skills.

'With the arrival of my second class, my status panel also went through some changes.' Curiously Aditya tapped on his New class that came with a badass name.

"Rune Monarch." Aditya has to admit he liked the name.

.

[Rune Monarch]

[2nd-order]

[Description]: - Rune Monarch is the class of the King. Long ago, Rune Monarch dominated the Oblivion Domain. Just the name of the Rune Monarch was enough to make the enemy surrender. To this date, the name of the Rune Monarch is not forgotten. Not everyone is eligible to acquire the Rune Monarch class. The host is the only second being in the Universe to get Rune Monarch class.

[Function 1]: - At 2nd-order, the rune Monarch gives its holder many kinds of powers. After reaching 2nd-order, the host's knowledge of runes has increased to a certain point where the host has mastered all the basics. The host is 100% likely to create a 2-star rune item. There is a 50% chance of the host creating a 3-star rune item. The percentage will keep decreasing with each high orders.

[Function 2]: - Unlike other classes, the Rune Monarch is a special class. The Rune Monarch class only can be evolved to the next order as long as the host manages to expand his knowledge and experience of rune to a certain degree.]

[Rune Monarch class Progression to 3rd order: - 0%]

.

Aditya for a moment closed his eyes. It was like all the knowledge of Rune had existed in his mind from the beginning. It was like his second class had created a special library of runes in his head. 'So unlike my War Dancer class, I can only evolve my second class only by expanding my knowledge and experience to a certain degree.'

'let's check if my War Dancer class gives me anything special.'

.

[War Dancer]

[2nd-order]

[Description]: - A special type of class that was once used by the God of War. When reached a certain level, the War Dancer gives the user variety of powers and skills.

[Function 1]: - Gives host knowledge of all kinds of weapons.

[Function 2]: - Each time the host reaches a new order, the War Dancer will unlock a new set of skills for the host.

[Function ]: - There is a 19% chance that the host might unlock new skills of War dancer class in a dire situation.]

[Weapon Grandmaster

[2nd-star]

[Description]: - A powerful innate skill is only given to people who have the War Dancer class.

[Function 1]: - This skill gives the user knowledge and instant mastery over any weapon that is held by the user. Weapon Mastery increases the power of any weapon by [15%].

[Function 2]: - Gives the host a 10% chance of dodging or landing a critical strike, if the opponent is in the same order as the host. The percentage might increase or decrease depending on the level of the opponent.]

'Not bad. This skill will certainly come in handy when facing a tough opponent. Now my next skills'

[Crimson Blaze

[2nd- star]

[Description]: - An advanced evolved and powerful form of Fiery Blaze. This skill allows the user to control fire.

[Function 1]: - Every time the user activates this skill, it will consume [1+] mana per second. The limit of this skill depends on the user's imagination.

[Function 2]: - Decreases the damage of fire-type attacks used by the enemy by [30%]. Increase of power of Fire-type attacks used by the host by [30%].

"Aditya?"

"Aditya?"

"What is it?"

"Aditya, what are you thinking so deeply? Julia has been calling his name for a while now. But Aditya gave no response. This kind of worried her.

"No....Nothing. I was thinking about the changes that took place in my body."

"Are you alright? Should we take a rest?" Julia worriedly asked.

"No, I am alright. You are worrying too much. By the way, tomorrow, I am going to show you all something that will blow your mind."

The princess narrowed her eyes and looked at Aditya in suspicion. "What are you planning again?"

"Something that will blow your mind."

On the way, Aditya joked with Julia. The journey was peaceful. Fortunately, no one from Lifwood city chased after them. Before the night ended, Aditya and Julia returned to the castle. Both of them went back to their bedrooms. Since both of them are 2nd-order cultivators, a single sleepless night couldn't tire them. Julia went back to her alchemy research while Aditya went to grab a piece of paper and pen.

[Dragon Transformation: - A innate skill that all 2nd-order or higher-order dragons possess. The skill allows the host to transform into a Dragon or transform any part of the host's body into a dragon. The shape and the size of the host's dragon form are determined by the host's bloodline and level. When the host fully transforms into a dragon, all of the host's stats except for mana are instantly doubled.]

[Runic Enchantment

[2nd-star skill]

[Description]: - The power of this skill is determined by the order of the Rune Monarch class.

[Function 1]: - At the current level, there is a 100% chance of the host enchanting a 2-star weapon or artifact. 50% chances of enchanting a 3-star weapon or artifact. Less than 10% chances of enchanting a 4th-star weapon or artifact.]

[Lunar Vision]

[2-star skill]

[Description]:- A special and unique type of skill was created by combining the power of War Dancer, Rune Monarch, and Crimson Heavenly Dragon. The host is the founder of this unique eye skill. Since this skill is passive, it doesn't require any mana to activate.

[Function 1]: - The Lunar Vision gives the host Night vision. The host can see anything in the darkness.

[Function 2]: - The Lunar Vision lets the host finds the weak points of the opponent whose powers are one order below the host.

[Function 3]: - This skill gives the host 70% resistance against mind-controlling spells used by 2nd-orders. But against higher orders, the resistance percentage decreases depending on the cultivation strength of the opponent.]

[Disturbance of Blessings]

[2-star skill]

[Description]: - A special type of skill granted by the War Dancer class. This skill is used to debuff the enemy troops. It will take [25+] mana to activate this skill. The skill will continue to consume [5+] mana per second.

[Function 1]: - Decreases the attack power of mages whose cultivation level is on 2nd-order or below by [15%]. If the battle is fought at the host's territory, the debuff will increase from [15%] to [30%].

[Function 2]: - When the commander of the opponent army is killed or captured, the enemy troops' attacks powers will be duffed by [20%].

"This is a really powerful skill. This very skill itself can change the whole course of the battle. But it's a shame that even with my current mana, I can't keep his skill active for longer than 44 seconds at most." Aditya was a little disappointed to know that he won't have enough mana to use this skill in a battle. Imagine, the difficulty his opponents would face due to this skill.

[Mystic Surge]

[2-star skill]

[Description]: - Another special skill of the War Dancer class. This skill can grant buffs to the allies. It will take [25+] mana to activate this skill. The skill will continue to consume [5+] mana per second.

[Function 1]: - When this skill is activated, the troops and the generals and allies will receive a [9%] boost in their agility.

[Function 2]: - When 70% of the enemy troops have been defeated, the troops and the generals and allies will receive a [9%] boost in their strength.

[Function 3]: - If the enemy troops outnumber the ally troops, then the ally troops and generals will receive a [9%] boost in their stamina and health.]

"This is also a skill that I can use for more than 44 seconds. It's really disappointing to know that I am getting so many awesome skills but I don't have enough mana to keep them running." The storage of Mana was beginning to frustrate Aditya.

He realized that the only way that he can increase his mana reserve would be by eating 3-star or higher-star fruits that were super expensive. Even if he sells his entire Kingdom, he won't have enough money to buy a priceless treasure that can safely increase his mana reserve.

[Charm of Inferno Rune]

[2-star skill]

[Description]: - This is a special skill that was granted by the host's Rune Monarch class. This skill allows the host to use his fire affinity with his runes.

[Function 1]: - The objects that have been enchanted with Inferno runes will give the user [10%] extra fire damage.]

"Well, the last skill is not useless. It might have one function but by adding my fire elemental powers in my runes, I can create various weapons or objects that will give buffs related to the fire element."

For example, Aditya could turn a normal sword into a 2-star runic weapon that has fire enchantment. When the sword is used, the user will gain fire-related buffs.

Runic weapons are the weapons that only have been enchanted with runes. A 2-star Runic Weapon is different from a 2-star weapon that is forged by a blacksmith. While Runic weapons can provide powerful buffs to the user, a 2-star weapon is made of rare metals to have 2-star weapon power. Generally, a 2-star weapon is first forged by a blacksmith and then taken to a Rune Master for enchanting the weapon with runes, to add buffs to the weapon.
