MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith Chapter 1729: Skills of a Rank 5 (8)

Valyr could not believe what he was reading.

When he first heard his other self tell him that he got a skill that replicated what the shards did, he unsurprisingly felt both shock and disbelief from it.

As far as he could rember, it took a number of random coincidences and chance encounters just for him to find the door that eventually led him towards the first Shard of Defiance.

After he had gotten all the other shards and left the inheritance, he then had to scour through the entire Four Pillars' Inheritance one more ti just to get his hands on a skill that would allow him to willingly make use of the shards' power.

…And that was only after Vaughn told him it was possible to willingly make use of its properties.

Yet, compared to all the hardships he'd gone through for that skill, Ataraxia was actually able to get his hands on a skill that did sothing similar just by ascending to Rank 5?

For a brief mont after hearing that, the young man could not help but think that the heavens were biased and unfair, the mories of his ti in the inheritance gradually surfacing in his mind because of it.

Fortunately, the bitter feeling he felt quickly disappeared, being replaced with a mix of excitent and anticipation as he gave his other self a brief glance.

After all, with his other self now gaining the capability to fight Myths to a certain extent, it ant that their options from now on were greatly expanded, especially in cases where the only thing hindering them was a lack in Myth-level combat power.

With that thought in mind, Valyr eventually turned his head to look at the screen in front of him, gazing at its contents with a look of interest.

With Ataraxia telling him that the skill he got from the ascension was similar, the young man initially thought that the skill would just be a carbon copy of the skill he got from the inheritance.

Then again, considering that it had co from the forr's main class, it was bound to align more with magic, even if its main purpose was to do the sa thing his skill did in so way.

Though, once he finally laid his eyes upon it, the previous thoughts he had on the skill were imdiately thrown out of the window, instead being replaced with intense shock.

'This… is similar?' muttered Valyr to himself, looking at his other self with a slightly aggrieved expression. 'You must be kidding .'

'This is leagues better than what I have!'

Although the downsides that ca with using the skill were undoubtedly worse than the downsides of using [Eyes of the Sagacious One], the buffs that ca with using the skill were also undoubtedly better in comparison.

At the very mont the skill was activated, though almost all of Ataraxia's HP and MP would be consud in the process, he would imdiately be returned to peak condition after that.

On the other hand, Valyr's skill didn't do that. Instead, it made up for it by not assigning any condition to activating the skill.

Of course, whether or not he could bear the cost that ca after it was a different story.

With Ataraxia's condition brought back to its peak monts after the skill was activated, the young man would then receive three massive buffs to his combat power, with each one already enough to make the skill far better than the one Valyr got.

The first one was a status buff which tripled his stats at the bare minimum.

When he first ca across this line on the skill's description, the young man's imdiate thought was that this part of the skill resembled [Descent of the True Wyvern] in so way.

However, once he continued reading its description, he soon realized that his thoughts couldn't be any further from the truth.

Though it did triple Ataraxia's stats at the start, the skill also ntioned that the buff gradually grew stronger the more ti passed, eventually reaching a state where the young man's stats would be boosted to quadruple of what it originally was.

As this realization ca to mind, Valyr began to wonder if he'd be able to match that kind of increase with the arsenal of buffs he currently had.

Unfortunately, he ca to the conclusion that even if he went all out in every aspect possible, he wouldn't be able to match the kind of increase [Descent of the Arcane Supre] Ataraxia gave.

On top of that, even if he was able to match that kind of increase, he still wouldn't be able to match what the skill gave… since the status buff acted as a final multiplier.

In other words, Ataraxia had access to a skill that acted as a transformation of sorts, imdiately bringing his stats to a level that could only be matched by those at the Myth level and above.

Then again, the sa could be said for the two other buffs the skill gave him, which focused on Ataraxia's magic spells and concepts, respectively.

While the skill remained active, the latter's abilities regarding magic spells would be enhanced in all aspects, allowing him to cast low-cost spells that dealt insanely high damage in a short ti.

Though, just like the skill's status buff, this part of the skill also underwent a massive transformation during the final minute, rendering all of his spells free to cast.

Adding on the fact that he'd be able to cast twice as much spells that dealt twice as much damage during this ti, there was no doubt in Valyr's mind that Ataraxia would beco a force to be reckoned with in that state.

If he were to also factor in the fact that the latter's stats would be buffed to an insane level during that final minute, he was certain that even peak Myths would fall prey to his other self's firepower.

…If the Damage Restriction System allowed all of the damage he dealt to be transferred, that is.

Though Valyr still wasn't sure what kind of skill he had gotten from the shards, with him having experienced its abilities firsthand and with Vaughn giving him a rough explanation of what it was capable of, he was able to pinpoint it down to a number of powerful effects.

Naly, the ability to gain affinities opposite of what the opposing side had, as well as the ability to ignore certain aspects of the system many took for granted.

…Such as the Damage Restriction System.

With the Damage Restriction System in place, even if Ataraxia's combat power was buffed to hell and back with [Descent of the Arcane Supre], each spell would only deal a single point of damage if the level gap between him and the opponent was high enough.

Thankfully, that problem could be circumvented with the skill's third and final buff.
