Chapter 1-15. Skill confirmation

First of all, I will tell him my status.

===============

Name: Ouren

HP: 42/46

MP: 49/58

Attack power: 39

Defense: 49

Magical power: 12

Agility: 47

-Special skills-

[Voice of Heaven] [Rare Species Benefits]

-Skill-

[Luminous] [Partial Body Strengthening (hard)]

[Fangtooth] [Physical Strengthening ]

[Dazzle] [Strong Acid]

===============

Oh! My name is properly listed in the status.

I was really don't have any name before ... Maybe Reizen's case is same with me in his status name.

But ... Is it possible to evolve after more 3 LV? I just only eat plankton recently.

Well, maybe it's because of the [Rare Species Benefits], you see ... it's a special skill that makes it easier to raise the level!

Without this, my level might not have risen this easily.

I don't really feel it because there are no numerical value.

Looking at the status again, I tend to have a lot of MPs. The magical power itself is weak.

However, I tried various skills and found out that all of them consume a lot of MP.

Even if you use the skill once, it will consume about 5 times the initial value.

And if you try to maintain it, it costs more.

I don't think only 100 point in MP is enough.

As I keep evolve from now on, I will acquire more skills, so I still need MP to use them.

It is a relief to be able to synthesize skills, but the result it becomes a powerful skill, so the MP cost will increase again.

And the worst thing is running out of MP. If you run out of MP, you will not be able to move completely.

I've experienced this myself, so I know it best.

Long story-short, MP is important.

I was relieved that MP value always increased.

I don't want to run out of MP again, so I want to keep growing up.

I think it would be better to teach this to him. As you may know.

"Mr. Oren. You have a lot of skill ... This time I will read my status ~ ”

"Ou, please"

He said he was alone for a month, but ... he probably has some skills.

He didn't seem to exploring around like I did, so it seems that he didn't evolve often.

Reizen slowly read out his status and told me.

===============

Name: Reizen

Race: Blockfish

LV: 7/10

HP: 50/50

MP: 40/40

Attack power: 14

Defense: 180

Magical power: 19

Agility: 15

-Special skills-

[Voice of the earth] [Protection of the earth]

-Skill-

[Partial Body Strengthening (Sharp)] [Partial Body Strengthening (hard)] [Absorption]

-Resistance-

[Loneliness] [Blast]

===============

Holy crab!! ?? Dat DEF! What is he, a moving wall?!

Since his final evolution path is a turtle, the defense power is probably high ... Although the attack power and agility are hopeless.

How do you attack this guy ...?

I can't say that I have a lot of MP, and my magical power is low ... No, he is higher than me, but if I evolve, my magical power will increase.

Does that mean that my battle style mostly with magic attacks instead of physical attacks?

Thinking about that again, I'm a magical barrage ... I wonder if I am more suitable for a barrage and maintenance of skills.

I also think that I has a lot of agility and has an offensive power. I am not as defensive as this boy ...

Does that mean? Am I a pretty versatile type?

It seems that MP is a little high and it does not mean that it is specialized in anything.

I haven't come up with a lot of distinctive things yet, and I don't have to think about the fighting style yet.

Alright, let's try to fight by using the skills less than usual.

I'm worried that I wouldn't been able to do much in the actual battle and I may poor in dexterity.

Well, there are some things I don't know about the Reizen skills.

[Voice of the earth] seems to be the same as [Voice of Heaven] that I have, so I omitted it.

First of all, it is from the special skill [Protection of the Earth].

===============

-Protection of the earth-

You can read the nature of the land you are standing on and use it to your own strength.

===============

Strong. But this doesn't seem to make sense underwater.

In fact, he doesn't seem to have that kind of skill ... it's a muddy gem.

I want him to be able to land quickly and make full use of this skill.

Next is ... I already know [Partial Body Strengthening (Sharp)] [Partial Body Strengthening (hard)], so please explain the skill [Absorption].

===============

-Absorption-

Natural recovery ability. However, when used, it consumes a large amount of MP.

===============

How envious! Isn't it a skill that comes in handy during battle!

Dang ~~~ I want this skill. I definitely want it.

Eating the meat of the prey will restore your physical strength, but if you face a tough opponent, this kind of self-healing ability will be essential.

I wonder if I can get skills if I try to unify my spirit. Its Impossible.

Well ... I don't want to know more from here onward anymore, but should I ?

Please forgive me for hearing the resistance [loneliness]. If he really want to explain them I'll try to bear it.

It's really ... it's really hard to not hear it.

"And lastly! The details of the resistance ... ”

Reizen-! You can tell me where it's hard to listen ...!

Thank you. What a good companion I had.

===============

―Loneliness―

You can get used to being alone. When acting alone, it becomes easier to acquire skills.

===============

-Blast-

Can withstand an explosion. The scale can tolerate it depends on the LV.

===============

Hearing that [loneliness] resistance! Thank you for letting me know!

Whew this is good. …………Hmm? Come to think of it, this skill acquired with being alone and get it by yourself, right?

It seems that you can't get loneliness resistance by evolution. ...... amazing!

[Blast] resistance ... Is this a skill acquired through evolution? I've never seen an exploding fish.

"Hey, this blast resistance ..."

"Is this? I got it when I evolved into a block fish. "

After all it was. If there was a exploding fish, I was already dead the moment I met them.

I don't feel like my defense can endure it.

Well, if it's in the water, I can face them by manipulating the water flow ...

Isn't this [Water flow manipulation] is the strongest in the water? Although MP consumption is intense.

"That's right. Skills are difficult to acquire by yourself, right?"

Reizen asked with a little excitement. By the way, let me tell you about skill synthesis.

Looking at this skill, I don't think I've done it.

"That's right. It seems that you can get the skill even if you train, but if it is not acknowledged as a skill, you will not get it. Do you know Skill Synthesis?"

"Huh! Can skills be synthesized??? It's like a game and it sounds interesting!"

He didn't know about it?

I taught that [Fangtooth] is a synthetic skill of [Partial Body Strengthening (sharp)] and [Big Eater].

I also remind Reizen, at that time he said he wanted to try it immediately, but I warned him to carefully select the skill to synthesize.

The synthesized skill disappears instead of being strengthened.

"Hmm ... I don't need blast resistance, right?"

"It certainly doesn't make much sense underwater. There are no such fish, and the range of explosions in water will be greatly reduced. "

"Then, blast resistance and ... Skill [Partial Body Strengthening (hard)] are combined ..."

"No, you can't synthesize resistance with skill."

"Oh, it's done"

"You can!??"

It really possible! What an unreliable [Voice of Heaven]! Tell me the voice of the earth!

These guys are really dictionaries. I have to ask and it won't tell you. Tell me a supplementary explanation!

It seems that the skill synthesized by Reiji has changed to [Partial Body Strengthening(explosive)].

And one thing I found out.

When synthesizing resistance and skill, it seems that you can choose whether to make the combined skill resistant or skill. It seems that Reizen has been turned into a skill, "Bombing" has disappeared from resistance, and [Partial Body Strengthening(explosive)] has been added to the skill.

===============

-Partial Body Strengthening(explosive)-

At the same time as solidifying your body, it has a medium chance of granting a blast attribute. Temporarily incapacitated to prevent himself from being damaged by the blast.

===============

In the [Partial Body Strengthening (hard)] , only a part of the body was hardened, but this seems to be able to harden the whole body.

It also has a blast attribute.

But in the contrary, he seems to get stuck.

It's a completely counter-type skill ... it's scary ...

This wouldn't make much sense underwater, but it's likely that you'll be able to put it into practice as soon as you land.

"Thanks to you, I learned something new again."

"Really! Did you find it useful?"

"More than enough"

Reizen is so happy that he spin around.

I wonder if he wasn't praised so much in his previous life ... He is an intelligence officer.

………… Okay, I'll praise him well.

Now that we've confirmed our skills, it's time to go looking for prey. Time to Level up!
