Chapter 41 - The Final Choice

[Sword of Massacre (Primary Chronicle, Rare Rating)

This skill summons a cruel weapon called - Sword of Massacre. This sword is a long, red blade. On one side, the blade of this sword is sharp as a razor, but on the other side, it looks like a saw with curved teeth. With such a weapon, you can easily cut and tear the flesh of any opponent.

Moreover, this weapon can bestow incredible strength, but it also contains great danger. The more blood the weapon absorbed, the stronger it became, but the increasing strength increases the burden on the owner's body. If a person is not strong enough, his body will be overloaded, and his heart will burst.

When used, it increases all stats except Energy by 10 points. If the skill is used continuously for over an hour, all stats are reduced by 99%.

[It is possible to develop this skill if the following conditions are met -

[Any Soul of a mad creature - 0/1]

"This skill is indeed times more interesting than the previous ones. What's more, I need to know how to use it. I can become much stronger with this sword, but I can also get wounded and die. In any case, a ten point increase in all stats is something unbelievable." Mumbled Wain.

He was very impressed by the Sword of Massacre. However, that was exactly what he had expected from the skill with that name.

"However, the conditions for developing this skill are unclear to me. What does Soul of a mad creature mean? Where am I going to find a crazy monster? Last time, I created a lightning zombie myself, but to create a crazy monster... I don't have any idea." Wain muttered slightly disappointedly.

Wain decided to think about it later. First of all, he wanted to see a description of the last skill. Only after he knew the strength of all five skills would he decide which one he would study. There was no point in acting hastily and rashly in this case.

[Plasma Destruction Sword (Primary Chronicle, Rare Rating)

This skill combines several different powers and significantly changes the Destruction Sword. The sword becomes slightly shorter and narrower. Its length decreases from two meters to one and a half meters. A dark plasma appears on the sword blade, but it is not hot. It is incapable of melting anything or even heating anything.

The dark plasma is as cold as ice from the far corners of hell. Plasma will freeze the flesh of enemies and destroy their cells from within. This skill will give its wielder power comparable to a demon of destruction. Sword will become several times faster, sharper, and deadlier.

[It is possible to develop the skill if the following conditions are met -

[Energy must be higher than 30 points without regard to external factors - 83/30. Also needed the following souls: any Soul with the fire attribute, any soul with the darkness attribute, any soul with the poison attribute]

The description of the skill struck wain. Originally Wain thought he would choose the Sword of Massacre, but now he has changed his mind. The Plasma Destruction Sword seemed perfect for him.

'It is an excellent and powerful skill. But, the number of conditions and their complexity frighten me. Fortunately, one of the conditions I've already met. My Energy was initially very high. But, where do I find three different souls?' Wain pondered.

Although all five offered were Rare Rated, they were not unique in power and utility. The Plasma Destruction Sword was better than the Massive or Defensive Destruction Sword.

Within a Rare Rating, the strength of skill could vary greatly. One skill could be a Rare Rating because it was only slightly stronger and more unique than most Common Rating skills. But, at the same time, another Rare Rating skill came close to almost becoming Epic Rating.

Therefore, Defensive Destruction Sword had relatively easy conditions to develop compared to the conditions that had to be met to get Plasma Destruction Sword.

"Hmm, I need three different souls. Luckily, it looks like their Rating and condition don't matter. That makes things a lot easier. Otherwise, it would have taken me months to find them all. I'd have to look for rare monsters with the right attribute. However, perhaps I can create a suitable monster myself." Wain muttered.

The last time he needed a soul with the attribute of lightning, Wain created a suitable monster himself. He waited until the infected man began to turn into a zombie and then stuck dozens of live wires from the generator into him.

Wain had several ideas on getting the Soul with the fire attribute. He thought it was possible to create a fire monster. But, he could hardly create a monster with the attribute of darkness or poison. He needed special skills or tools to do so. That meant he would have to find such monsters somewhere.

"Okay, at least I've made up my mind. When I collect all the souls, I need I'll have a very powerful skill. Now it's time to get out of here and head for the park." Mumbled Wain looking at the monsters gradually approaching the walls of the university.

He wanted to see how he could improve his soul, Last Knight, but Wain decided to do it after finding a safe place in town. It took him quite a while to choose and read the skill descriptions, and during that time, monsters began to appear near the university.

Wain didn't want to have to kill hundreds of monsters again to get a few yards ahead. He didn't have time for that, so he decided to move out now.

The park Wain was going to was about ten kilometers away. It wasn't very far. A normal person could walk that distance in two or three hours, depending on various factors. But, during an apocalypse, even a road of a hundred meters could be deadly.

"Hmm, most of the roads are still partially intact, and there are unbroken cars near the university. I can use the car to get to that park faster. No, that's too risky, though. If I have an accident because of some monster, I'll be surrounded by zombies while I get out of the car. If any of them hurt me, I could die." Wain muttered, standing on a high fence.

Wain looked at one building about twenty meters from the university and thought to himself, 'I could easily climb the stairs up there. Moreover, Overion is quite a densely populated city. There are a lot of buildings and a developed infrastructure. Maybe by jumping on the buildings, I can get to the park.'

The next moment Wain ran toward the building of his choice. After the recent battle, there were very few monsters around. A couple of insects flew in his direction, but they were slashed by a dark sword a second later. The white souls instantly flew into Wain's body.
