Shin felt a little strange as he read through the system notifications right in front of his eyes. He was not sure how to feel about the new and improved elental skills as he was no longer too reliant on them.
Regardless, having an additional card under his arsenal would never hurt. It could always help him in certain situations.
Given that, he opened his skill window and turned at the elental skills panel to take a look at them.
--------------------

--------------------
The corner of Shin's mouth could not help but twitch when he saw the information of the skill. Aside from the ones that he had gotten from Solus, this elental skill was the most broken out of them all.
Not only did it have too many passive skills, but it also had two more active skills. Moreover, the effects of the previous skill 'Heart of Stone' were also included in it.
He was not sure about the other skill nad 'Heart of Steel', but he could at least guess their effects given the information this new Elental Skill had.
What amazed him a little was that absolute control over tals within a certain radius. It was sowhat similar to the Elental Skill, 'Blessing of the Sun', that he had gotten from Solus, but also sowhat different at the sa ti.
That skill from Solus gave him a huge boost when it ca to sensing and controlling the Fire Elental Mana within surroundings, but this particular skill granted him control over tals.
He was not sure about the weapons that his opponents would be wielding, but he suspected that even if he could not control them, he could at least influence their movents to a certain degree.
"Regardless, this skill is still way too broken," he comnted as he shook his head while reading the information about the skill.
At the sa ti, another idea flashed through his mind while thinking about this. He thought that his particular skill would work well with his other Elental Skill, the 'Telekinesis' skill, that he had gotten from Grimrace. "Maybe, I have to look for a ti to test it out later."
After that, he proceeded to look at the improved effects of his other Elental Skill.
--------------------
Skill Na: Pulse of Earth
Skill Type: (Passive & Active) Elental Skill
Skill Rank: Special
Skill Details:
Passive 1: 500 STR 500 VIT

Passive 2:
1. If the first active skill of the 'tal Synergy' is activated during the activation of this skill, 50% of the incoming damage will be converted to your HP.
2. If the second active skill of the 'tal Synergy' is activated during the activation of this skill, its range will be extended to 100 ters.
Note: You can only activate one of the effects of this second passive at a ti.
--------------------
Seeing this, Shin could not help but shake his head. "Of course, since the partnered skill is already broken, its pair will naturally have to be broken too so that it can be 'balanced'."
He was chuckling at himself while seeming to want to mock the developers. Or more accurately, the AI that was controlling everything and generating these broken skills.
Unfortunately, such skills would no longer be too important in the battle due to the current update. After all, real Martial Art Skills and true ntalism Techniques were also too broken in their own right.
Regardless, these skills would still be helpful in certain circumstances.
After that, he finally turned to the information window for his Elental Spirit Companions and looked for the new details about Astaroth.
-------------
Spirit Na: Astaroth
Status: Reaper's Retainer – Guardian
Race: Hybrid Elental Spirit (Earth and tal)
Bloodline: Obsidian Earthen Spirit
Purity: Supre
Transformation: Earth Warden
Ability Status: Temporarily Sealed
Tier: Current 3 (Potential 5)
Level (Sealed): Adjusted to 170 (Max 500)
-------------
Shin slightly nodded his head as he found it sowhat similar to what the rest of his elental spirits had.
But the noticeable difference that Astaroth had compared to the rest was the special border that his information panel had like the ones that Solus and Hanzo possessed.
He also had a unique border for himself!
Shin could see that the border that Astaroth was filled with earthen design. It had cracks that were releasing tallic luster from ti to ti, seemingly a pulsing heart given the rhythm that they had.
Fragnts of small rocks were being peeled off from the earth-like border before falling down and dissipating like specks of dust.
Shin now confird that this special border reflected the strength of an Elental Spirit. Having these special borders indicated the overwhelming strength that they had.
This also confird that the other three Elental Spirit Companions that had been promoted recently were still not at their peak form and are currently in the middle of their evolutionary stages.
Once they were done, they would gain their respective special borders that were designated just for them.
After that, he closed the information window and turned to Astaroth, who was currently walking toward him.
He observed this hybrid elental spirit for quite so ti and did not discover any distinct changes. Aside from the slightly darker skill and brighter light that his golden tattoos were releasing, Astaroth was not different compared to before.
At least, appearance-wise.
But when it ca to the pressure and aura that he was passively releasing, Shin could tell that this so-called Obsidian Earth Spirit was way more powerful than his previous self.
Shin repeatedly nodded his head as he watched Astaroth walk over. "Not bad. Not bad at all."
At that mont, the hybrid elental spirit finally arrived in front of him and suddenly knelt down. At the sa ti, he shouted with a booming voice. "This unworthy servant will be forever grateful to the grace of the lord!"
The corner of Shin's mouth suddenly twitched when he heard those words, not sure how to respond.
At the sa ti, the entire cave also shook due to the powerful voice that Astaroth had. Fragnts of rocks fell from the ceiling while the cracks that the cave started to grow larger and spread in every direction.
Afraid that he would be buried here alive, Shin just nodded his head at his Elental Spirit Companion and unsumd the guy imdiately after.
He was not in the mood to entertain this troubleso attitude. He had a more pressing matter that he needed to attend right now.
He first stretched his waist before sending a ssage to Harmony that he would be leaving. His business here was already done, so he had to proceed to the next one.
Now that he finally completed all the necessary materials for the upgrade of his main weapon, he could now visit that blacksmith dwarf after a very long ti.
But before anything else, he first checked on the quest one more ti to make sure that he had missed anything and completed everything.

----------------------
He did not care about the rest of the rewards as they were not as important as before. What he really wanted from this was the promotion of his main weapon, which would have a direct effect on his overall strength.
Moreover, he was also quite excited about this since he would be the first person to own an Obsidian Rank item within the ga.
That was if his calculation was right.
But given the timing and the current stage of the ga, it was most likely the case. He did not have to worry too much about it since even the top gods within the ga like Arthur, Leonard, and Zero did not own a single piece of Obsidian Rank Equipnt, much less a weapon.
Even the suspected wealthiest player in the ga, the guild leader of the Hand of Midas Trading Firm, the Frost Goddess Snow White, was the sa.
His chances of being the first player to own this kind of weapon were infinitely high. And he was very excited about it.
It was strange, but it seed like he was finally starting to understand what Arthur was feeling when playing the ga. That excitent when discovering new places and creatures, owning special and unique equipnt, and learning about new things was starting to really hit him.
It seed like he started to understand Arthur's addiction to playing gas. And it looked like he was starting to get influenced by it.
Laughing at himself, Shin shook his head before pulling out a city-return scroll from his inventory and crushing it imdiately after.
Swoosh!
He then turned into a stream of light that pierced through the ceiling of the cave and flew through the sky, heading toward the direction of the nearest city.
Bang!
When he appeared at the teleportation hall of the city, he was imdiately greeted by a huge crowd of players.
He looked around and saw that these players were also new arrivals just like himself. Moreover, there were more players that were arriving at the teleportation hall, making the place fully packed and crowded.
Slightly confused, he observed everyone and saw that most of these players seed to co from the sa organization. And based on the emblems that they wore on their chests, he imdiately understood what was going on.
"Looks like the next war is getting near," he muttered as he saw the players affiliated with Black Market arriving one after another.
He could also spot the mbers of the Hand of Midas, who were wearing the special cloaks that were covering their appearances.
They could hide from most of the players, but Shin, who was both a regular consur and a special guest of the trading firm, was very familiar with these unique cloaks.
They were the cloaks that were specially designed by Harmony by using his [Nightwalker's Cloak] as the main model. How could he not recognize such a design when he was wearing one, or at least the better version of it?
After looking around for a few monts, Shin shook his head and walked back to the nearby teleportation circle. "This is none of my business anymore. They can already handle themselves."
He then re-activated the circle and set its coordinates to the Holy City of the Saint Heaven Kingdom as his destination.
Not long after, his entire body was swallowed by the light of the teleportation circle before disappearing.
A few monts after his disappearance, a group of players appeared in the nearby teleportation circle one after another. When they arrived, they approached a figure in the distance, who was clearly waiting for them.
One of them noticed that the player was looking at the teleportation circle near theirs and could not help but ask curiously. "What are you looking at? Did you see a pretty chick or sothing?"
The other player turned to him before replying. "It is nothing, Susanoo. I just found an interesting fellow. He is quite strong, and I want to exchange a few bouts against him."
"Too bad he already left," he added before turning around and leading the rest outside the Teleportation Hall.
The previous guy suddenly beca interested. "Eh!? Really? The mighty Martial God Ashura is interested in fighting soone?"
"Who is it? Don't tell it is Sword God Zero? Or Dragon God Siegfried? Maybe War God Simba? Co on! Tell , tell !" he bombarded Ashura with a series of questions.
But unfortunately, the latter totally ignored him and continued to walk ahead, leaving him helpless.
Regardless, he could not help but feel a little interested in this mysterious person, who made their battle-crazed commander want to fight them.
