As they ventured out into the morning sunlight, Mitsuya and Amber could feel the thrill of anticipation for their next adventure coursing through their veins. The village was bustling with activity as the townsfolk prepared for the day ahead.
Mitsuya wanted to earn some money for the adventure, but Amber said, "You have to become stronger too because when we get ahead in our journey, there will be strong monsters that I can't handle." Mitsuya said, "You have a good point. Today you are not acting stupid. I will think about it." After some time, they went on a journey to another town. There was a forest between the village and the town.
They reached the forest at night and decided to stay there for the night. They set up a campfire, and after some time, Amber fell asleep. The forest had high-level ingredients and monsters too. Mitsuya decided to become strong and earn some money, so he went into the forest and climbed a tree.
Mitsuya had 24,000 currency left, so he decided to buy some skills. First, he thought hard about what to buy. Then he saw a legendary sword named 'Ten-Tails Claws' for just 2,000 currency. But then he thought, "There has to be a catch. This sword's stats are godly, but it is this cheap." Then Mitsuya saw the durability of the sword, and it was at its lowest. Only one hit from the sword, and the sword would surely break. Despite knowing all this, Mitsuya still bought the sword.
Mitsuya now had 22,000 currency left. Then Mitsuya did something genius. He bought the 'Repair' skill for 12,000 currency. Mitsuya used the Repair skill and increased the sword's durability to the max. Then he saw a mystery skill available for purchase. It could be a low-level spell or cosmic-level magic. Mitsuya thought hard and then bought the 'Luck Increase' magic for 5,000 currency. He also bought the mystery skill for 5,000 currency, from which he gained a medium-level skill called "Soulbound Blade."
The Soulbound Blade skill allowed Mitsuya to form a deep connection with his sword, the Ten-Tails Claws. Through this skill, Mitsuya could infuse his energy and essence into the blade, unlocking its true potential.
Mitsuya was happy about it because from such a low-level skill like 'Luck Increase,' which was only at level 1, he got good skill. Mitsuya used Soulbound Blade, which gave the sword its personality. When Soulbound Blade was used, the sword belonged to the user until the user died. Mitsuya got down from the tree and entered the cave nearby.
He called Ten-Tails Claws. The sword had a black-coloured aura. There was a Chimera in front of him. He had already encountered an A-class monster. Mitsuya used Soulbound Blade's special ability called 'Spectral Blade.' When it was activated, the sword gained a life of its own.
The blade came out of Mitsuya's hand and charged at the Chimera. It sliced through the Chimera, and black flames started to rise from its body, creating a black-coloured monster that devoured the Chimera. Mitsuya was shocked after seeing this. He named this attack Soul Devourer because, after consuming the Chimera, his level increased.
He was very happy to have acquired this skill. Afterwards, he delved deeper into the cave and found the treasure of the Chimera. He acquired 10,000 currency and the 'Seraphic Glide Cloak,' which allowed the user to glide in the air. He was ecstatic about these valuable items.
He said to himself, "I can't wait for the whole night's adventure."
