Chereads / The Demon Flower System / Chapter 56 - A nice skill

Chapter 56 - A nice skill

"Well that solves that problem" I said as I looked at the small mirror that was around Elizabeth's neck. "Now the only thing left is to report back to the Demon King" I say to myself, since the only way I can speak is through telepathy so the others won't be able to hear what I am saying.

"Well I'm off" I say to the others as I leave white and Purple with Elizabeth and Byro. As I left the root body I could see Elizabeth open her mouth before closing it.

***

I return to the Root body that was in Hell and immediately see Yellow and Green flying in the air looking around desperately. I stand up and look at the two of them "should I tell them that I found the other two?"

"Nah, I might as well make them worry. Payback for what they did to me in the World Master realm" I say to myself as I look at them. "Now what am I going to do with this spare time?" I say to myself. I open my Stat window and explore it for a bit only when I see a familiar icon on the screen do I finally remember something. "Oh right I have the skill shop" I say as I press the familiar icon and soon a page full of skills opens up.

As I look through the skills I see the same old skills I saw last time [Dragon Body], [World Eater], and [Abyss beam]. Though they sound strong, their price is too much for me to afford since they are between 1000 to 2000 souls. "Well are they even worth buying" I say as I read their description and boy oh boy do they not look good for me.

First off the skill [World Eater] eats the world, but not in the physical sense but it devours all the magic in the world leaving it less magic. This has it up as a petty action I can do before I die to make them regret killing me, but if I don't die and I still live in the world then I am screwed.

As I look at the skills one by one I see something in the skill shop that catches my eye. "[Skill Merge]" I say as I click on it to read the description of it.

[Allows the user to combine their or other skill to create a even stronger skill based off the skills that were combined to form it]

I look at its price and see it cost about 50 souls. I smiled and instantly bought it.

[Host has acquired the skill [Skill Merge]. All following skills belonging to the species of flowers that wield this skill will increase in price]

I ignore the system message and pull up my stat screen.

I smiled as I activated [Skill Merge] and a screen popped up in front of me.

[Would the user like to use Skill Merge?]

[Yes][No]

I clicked the yes button and soon all the skills I have were shown in front of me via the system screen. "Hmm what skills to combine" I say as I look at all the skills "well I have my roots, so I might as well combine those."

I click on [Demonic Roots] as well as [Roots of Decay].

[Would the host like to combine [Demonic Roots] and [Roots of Decay] to create the skill [Roots of Death]

"[Roots of Death]?" I say as I click on the skills to read them.

[Roots of death- allows the user to create roots that come from the world of the dead. Those living that touch these roots will have all their life force and mana drained from their body before turning into nothing but dust.]

"Seems like a good skill to have, will I be able to keep the skills that are used to create this skill?"

[No]

"Aw well that's a shame" I say as I click look through my skills. "What about these two" I say as I click [Flower Field], [Field of Decay], and [Demonic Field].

[Would the host like to merge [Flower Field] [Field of Decay] and [Demonic Field] to create the skill [Flower Dimension]]

"Oh this seems interesting" I say as I look at its preview.

[Flower Dimension- The user is able to create a small pocket Dimension that will contain all the current and future flower fields within it. When the skill is activated anyone within a mile radius will be sucked into this pocket dimension and can only be let out when the user decides to or when the user cancels the skill. The user is able to change the looks of the Dimension and is able to summon a infinite amount flowers when the Host main body is within it]

As I read the skill I was utterly shocked at how good the skill is. "A skill where I have my own pocket dimension and can basically trap people within it for as long as I want!"

"Downside to this is that I won't be able to plant any more flowers down, and use their roots and petals in combat unless my target is inside the zone" I say as I stare at the cool skill.

"Well let's look at this problem in two kinds of viewpoints. On one hand if I don't combine the skills I will be able to plant flowers around me and use their roots and petals for combat."

"On the other hand, if I combine the skills I can have a mobile base that can house my root creatures, my flowers, and my main body. All the while being able to interact with the outside world and leave the outside world when I am in danger. I can probably create holes in space to summon the petals and roots from the flowers inside the space and summon them around me."

I look at my two options and decide on what to do.

[Host has combined [Flower Field], [Field of Decay], and [Demonic Field] to create the skill [Flower Dimension]. Host will have to wait for about three weeks]
