Chapter 195: Shape-shifter

Meanwhile, Charles entered the office room, closed the door, locked it from inside, and took out the green vial.

After that, he opened the vial cap and gulped it down in one go.

A moment later, a sharp pain appeared from the depths of his mind, causing him to grit his teeth subconsciously.

Then, some mysterious power appeared from his stomach and started spreading towards all parts of his body!

Simultaneously, Charles saw a change in his game interface and made a forced smile.

...

[You consumed a bottle of Inborn Midday Potion!]

[2 points have been added to your Dexterity attribute!]

[0.5 points have been added to your Strength attribute!]

[0.4 points have been added to your Constitution attribute!]

...

'Oh? It can even increase my other attributes? But why is it only 0.5 points?' He was stunned for a moment and soon noticed a change in his hand movements.

But he didn't try testing his Hand of Mystery skill.

'I need to act faster.' He muttered inwardly and glanced at the Sub-Class Rank-up quest icon.

'Success rate has been increased from 50% to 80%!' He took a deep breath, focused his attention on the Sub-Class section, and poured 85,000 Exp points into it.

'Mr. Runeth, protect me for a while. If someone dares to spy on us, use your power to distort the surroundings.'

Saying so, he sat on the floor, gripped his fist, and soon groaned in pain.

At that moment, he felt that countless sharp needles were piercing through his whole body!

Moreover, a strange itchy feeling appeared all over his body, causing him to scratch his face and chest.

'F*ck! This is insane.' He cursed inwardly and soon noticed some transparent slimy liquids starting oozing out of his body pores.

Like a shake shedding its skin, Charles's body skin also began to peel off along with the slimy liquids!

This process continued for the next 30 seconds and soon returned to normal.

Then, pieces of information about sub-class skills appeared and soon engraved in the depths of his Inner World.

'It's over!'

He didn't even wait for a moment before he cast the [Elemental Body] spell on himself and bathed his body in a crimson flame.

Two seconds later, a wrinkled naked old man's figure appeared in the room.

Charles hurriedly stood up from the ground, took out a spare cloth from his space ring, and wore it.

Simultaneously, he opened the game interface and glanced at the notifications.

...

[Host has chosen the 2nd method for Rank-up!]

[55,806 Exp has been deduced for the [Shape-Shifter] Class-Gem!]

[29,194 Exp has been deduced for Rank-up!]

[Shape-Shifter Class obtained!]

[Host's body is undergoing a mutation change!]

[...]

[Mutation Completed!]

[Host's Race has been changed from 'Half-Shifter' to 'Shape-Shifter']

[You are now a true Shape-Shifter!]

[1 Attribute points rewarded!]

[20 skill points rewarded!]

...

[Skills Upgraded!]

['Vision' skill has been upgraded to 'Foresight']

['Face Change' skill has been upgraded to 'Shape-Shifting']

['Hand of Mystery' skill has been upgraded to 'Sleight of Mystery Hand']

...

'Foresight... This skill can let me see the upcoming danger in the form of vision. As long as the danger is within the next 10 minutes, this [Foresight] skill can perceive it and would give me some clues in the form of an image. Comparing to 'Vision' skill, this one can warn me before even the danger arrives. Wait... So my previous forewarning might be related to this skill...'

'Even though I hadn't ranked up at that time, I used the [Book of Secrets] multiple times and already gained some understanding of Future Time. It's is indeed a good skill... But there is also a great weakness like once I activate this skill; it will enter into one-hour cooldown stage...'

'And, if I want to get another foresight vision, I have to wait. There is also another problem with the 'Future Time' skills. As long as I change the Future, it will cause a great change in 'Fate' and create countless variations. It will definitely attract Astrologer Class Mystics.' He paused for a moment and shifted his gaze towards the [Shape-shifting] skill.

'If I want to completely shape-shift into another person, I need a blood drop of the target and inject it into my bloodstream. Then, I will get data about the opposite party's body structure. But there is also a side effect in this skill like a limited number of shape-shifting....'

'With my current power, I can only shape-shift into five different people. Any more than that, my body will not be able to handle it. Moreover, I can only shape-shift into human-like creatures... Tsk, I actually wanted to turn myself into a Dragon and give everyone a little scare...' He clicked his tongue and soon changed his gaze towards [Sleight of Mystery Hand] skill.

'Unlike before, I can easily let the invisible strings pass through Space, entangle the enemy's body, make them immobile, and even steal any random things from their space ring while bypassing their spiritual imprint... Moreover, I can release more than a hundred invisible strings at a time...' He was indeed surprised a little.

After that, he looked at the [Cryptic Analysis] skill and noticed it had already increased from 180 to 189 points.

'I currently have 28 free skill points.' He thought for a moment and chose to upgrade his unique skill using 11 skill points.

A moment later, a sharp pain appeared from both his mind and his eyes!

Like pricking needles, some invisible power started stabbing his eyes from inside!!

Cursing loudly, Charles gritted his teeth, gripped his head, and tried his best not to rub the eyes.

Like before, the painful sensation remained for another 20 seconds before it returned to normal!

But unlike before, a few minute stars appeared within his amber eyes and gave off a sense of mysteriousness.

Charles blinked his eyes and soon glanced at the earlier notifications.

...

[Cryptic Analysis skill has reached its peak level!]

[Upgrade is Possible!]

[Upgrading...]

[...]

[Host's eyes are undergoing a mutation process!]

[...]

[Wisdom Sight skill obtained!]

...

'Wisdom Sight... Not a bad skill.' He nodded inwardly and soon glanced at the black cane.

At that moment, the Holem's Crown suddenly felt that some invisible power was looking at its weakest area!

Without hesitation, the Holem's Crown used its own power and created a defensive line!

"Lad, what happened to your eyes?" It asked in an anxious tone.

Earlier, it sensed the power of pure wisdom from Charles's eyes and got shocked a little.

One could hide from 'Fate' and 'Time' powers, but 'Wisdom' power was an exception.

It was a unique power and always has a way to see through one's weakness!

If given enough time, even Gods would feel anxious during battles!

At that moment, Charles saw a completely new world.

Whenever he looks at something, he would be able to find its weakest spot in a second!

'This skill is the best. No wonder that the 'True Lords' organization assassinated Charles's father. So, they didn't fear [Inspect] skill, but they feared this upgraded version [Wisdom Sight] skill.' A look of understanding appeared on his face.
