And so Aki was out again. And shit had happened just as he expected since the dragon meat seemed to have given him 2 points in each attribute and pushed his spirit into S+ rank. The system notification was right there too.
{Detected character limit reached! SPR attribute may not be raised with Golden points from now on! Special dungeon triggered! Limit breaking dungeon will now super seed any other dungeons on waiting order! Detected player level incredibly low! Do you wish to reduce dificulty? Y/N?}
His browns twitched when he saw the last remark. He wasn't stupid enough to press on it though, it was too good an indicator after all.
[Would you like to pay 214.800 points, 30 Special points and 6 to have dual wielding (Uncommon) raised to transcendent level of proficiency?]
Selecting yes, Aki noted his strenght stat reached 89 points, meaning that uncommon skills could raise your stats up to solid A rank and that something else he'd not paid attention to had happened to his stats, because VIT, DEX and PER had seven points more than he thought they should have. Scrolling through his page again though, the answer presented itself on the fourth line of his skill list.
{Body of the unliving draugr overlord (Epic)}
He had aparently succesfully balanced life and death in his body while acting in his eating frenzy thanks to the dragon meat and blood or something along those lines, because he kept he fangs and vampiric traits somehow, yet when he tried to use his 'transformed state' that was full of teeth, it started to hurt like a bitch, he grew a whole meter up, his skin became dark gray, his eyes an abyss of black, his claws doubled in lenght and his phisical stats received a +1 in rank, except for vitality that got a +2.
It was butt ugly and would likely make grown man cry themselves to sleep, but it was also still him, just with even longer features all around. His back wanted to curve, his arms reached past his knees, fingers more skeletal, muscles practically metal wires coursing through his even thiner frame, a pair of bat wings with a somewhat redder undertone that could emcapsule him and allow him to fly small distances...
It also only lasted five minutes and mentally exausted him quite a bit.
"So i'm basically the fusion of an extra handsome vampire and an average strigoi?" Aki surmised while massaging his jaw, which'd practically dislocated when he fell on his face from the sudden lack of wings. "Yeah, i wouldn't know what to call this either. Draugr overlord is good enough since they're all pretty diferent from each other compared to other undead and unliving." He shrugged, turning back towards his skill list. He knew exactly what he'd be doing while in the dungeon, so he needed to make sure he could properly see his grownth too.
835k points and 97 Special points were just about enough for him to raise most of his weapon proficiency skills to Grandmaster level and remain with 19.000 points acording to the system, so Aki imediatly accepted.
What he did not expect, however, was for his new item to start shining and a system notification to sound in front of him.
[Do you wish to use 10 Golden points to fuse your close combat and weapon skills into a personal ability by ussing the energy stored inside the Origin crystal?]
"You serious? I mean, i was gunning for something like that, but let me just check the math real quick... Ok, so if it is a body tipe skill it should give me between 27 to 64 points depending on rarity and affected status... if i am able to influence the process at all then it should give out some extra benefits besides what the original skills already give out too... Ok, fuck this, system use it and then add the rest of my golden points in a way that no attribute tries to go over 110, preferably at the same time." He specified after confirmind he'd be fine with the results with his preparations as is. How many players would he need to kill if he wanted enough points to get another skill to grandmaster or even Transcendent? There was a limit as to how much someone could go around causing mischief without the consequences battering your door down, and he still wanted to be able to leave his room before he become a proper demi-god.
Seeing as whatever happened would likely be something incredibly painful or pleasurable, Aki had already sat down before saying anything to the system. He hadn't expected for everything to go dark and for him to keep awake.
Then came the cosmos. He wanted to sweat cold, because he had an inkling of what was happening.
A sword slash came at him. He hit it's pomel and diverted the attack with an axe.
Three spears came for his liver, heart and head from three directions. Side steping towards one, he used a sword to redirect the closest one into stopping the other one that'd reach him with their own charge, throwing a knife towards the place where the core of the third wielder should be were there any.
A dagger pierced the back of his shoulder only for him to throw his assailant over his shoulder, tear the blade out and strike the approaching saber.
He'd figure how things worked one way or another, because he obviously had some kind of influence in this test. The system would not ask for payment if it simply wished to kill him, it'd simply do it.
Tens of exchanges, hundreds of exchanges, thousands of exchanges... Each and every time he was faced with killing techniques, then he'd massacre his enemies.
Ten strike, a hundred strikes, a thousand... every strike against his sturdy body became an oportunity he'd take to lead to killing either his oponent or the next.
One, a thousand, a million.... Corpses and more corpses piled up, he danced around and on them, throwing around cadavers like shields and projectiles without regards as to how their blood now stained his teeth.
Lightning tempests, freezing winds, molten rocks.... Making each and every enviroment and projectile into an eventual helper, he coursed through, laughter interupted only by the screams of those under, his body moving less and less.
{CONGRATULATIONS! You have fused your close combat skills into the arts now known as 'Virtuous blade of the massacre' (Epic). Because of your efforts and special constituion, the skill 'Body of the virtuous blade grandmaster of massacre' has formed!}
{ALERT! Character limit reached! Dungeon cooldown period recinded! The limit breaking dungeon will begin in the next twelve hours if not manually engaged!}
The player grined at the system, actually looking at it in his moment of enlightenment, then he passed out.
