"Slow down, slow down geeze this is too much, explain shadow manifestation"
[Shadow manifestation allows the manifestation of weapons using shadows, swords, daggers, hammers etc, the skill is able to create any weapon that's feasibly imaginable however the more powerful a weapon the more mana it takes to make, godly items are denied from manifestation at your level]
"well it's not too bad but this sounds broken I mean I could just imagine a gun right?"
[I highly doubt that ]
"how so?"
[ such a weapon would take massive amounts of mana to manifest including each and every metallic round]
"tch that sucks and where exactly did you find this information?"
[your thoughts]
"it's not right knowing my mind can be easily surfed you know"
[my apologies]
"ok let's move on to the skill points this sounds interesting"
[skill window:
burn effect(34),speed increase(23),wisdom Lord(129),intimidation(12),Void manipulation(183), Prideful king(162),Intangibility (198),mind corrosion (80),summoning(170)-]
"all these skills are amazing but can I even get them?"
[skill points:23]
"huh.....then can I get a skill window with more affordable skills?"
[skill window:
heat nullification(34),binocular vision(12),shadow duplicate (23),heightened intelligence(19)]
"shadow duplicate sounds interesting and useful,there hasn't been any demon I've faced that has used fire so heat nullification doesn't seem useful right now, heightened intelligence seems like the most tempting"
[heightened intelligence might be your best choice if you're already willing to spend skill points]
"I really want to but the other skills I saw before looked more...helpful"
[I believe the actual word would be overpowering]
"I haven't won a single fight without nearly dying, a little overpowering would be nice here and there"
[right....]
I sat down on the ground and assessed my skills intently while also contemplating whether or not using the skill window at this time would be a good idea, all of that hard work from before was starting to pay off I was burning with an arrogant excitement that made me feel like I could tackle any enemy no matter their strength or their difference in power to me in the end it would be my victory.
[testing the skills yourself is more fun than just assessing]
"I agree but I'd like a look at my stats first"
[race:evolved shadow demon
Level:14
HP:1023/1023
mana:846/846
stamina:978/978]
"evolved shadow demon huh?"
[is it not to your liking?]
"I don't know it just sounds bland,usually I'd get some cool new name"
[master...you're still a shadow demon]
"let's just test out this shadow manifestation,simple armour will do"
[shadow manifestation:activated]
black flames engulfed my body as a clad black chest plate and wrist gauntlets appeared on my body with metallic like boots to end it in the most dramatic way I'd seen, I stared at my body in amazement as my mind raced to the potential power the other skills I had possibly held for a second I was quite terrified at my growth.
[mana:549/846]
"never mind this is a one time use kinda skill right now..., sigh how long does it last?"
[a manifested weapon has no time duration however it may break depending on its durability, a manifested weapons durability is equivalent to how much magic was poured in to make it...the current armour you've made now is less durable than the felis demon armour you were using before]
tch so basically it's kinda useless with my current mana...
[would you like to test any of the other skills out?]
"sure.....why not flames of insanity something elemental based is bound to be useful"
[a target would be advised, the skill can't be used on anything]
"you really don't know how to market something huh?"
[sadly I have no say in the requirements for these skills]
"sigh....fine"
slightly anxious to see the ability of the flames I activated predators eye in search of any kind of enemy for me to face.The red outline of a Felis demon that I'd long gotten used to appeared in view and wasting no time I chased after it across the grey sand dunes, For a moment the memories of my first meeting with a Felis demon flashed past my thoughts causing a slight smile on my face.
Ha it's really only taken a few days hasn't it!!
"Flames of insanity!!"
[Flames of insanity:activated]
a purple flickering ball of flames formed in the palm of my hand no bigger than a baseball,slightly disappointed I threw the ball in the direction of the Felis demon with its mouth wide open as it rushed to attack me.
Snap!!
The jaws of the Felis demons closed shut over the ball of flames I'd thrown,it paused inches from my face while trembling violently.
".....so is it paralyzed or-"
[you might want to move out of the way]
A bit confused yet still cautious I headed Cecil's warning and moved away from the Felis demon it's eyes now a glowing bright purple along with its mouth as it opened it wide trying to let out what I assumed was supposed to be a roar of pain but instead all that came was flames,bright purple flames that slowly melted it's very teeth while it exited in the form of a pillar.
I watched in horror as the flames exited some other parts of the demon that gave it a terrifying zombie like look.....with purple flames of course,it's insides practically turning to ash the Felis demon collapsed to the ground with a paw held out before finally dying right before my feet.
"Geeze WHAT TYPE OF HORRIFIC SKILL IS THIS?!!"
[Flames of insanity:endlessly burning flames that will continue to burn the target till death depending on their mental stability, in other words flames of insanity only burn the insane]
"that's a dark description, it's times like this that the word 'demon' really sinks in...."
[I thought you liked destructive skills?]
"well I guess it's destructive....sigh whatever helps out in the end is fine by me"
[that makes me happy]
I watched the flames slowly dwindle away with an idea sparking in my head.
"hey would I be able to defeat Belphegor with a skill like this?"
[sadly even the fact that you're evolved master won't help in such a battle]
"Tch that things really that monstrous huh"
[does this discourage you?]
"Discourage?, where's the fun without the grind!!"
