Chapter 1256: A New Day for the Store(3)

Four years of training time was more than half the seven years left in the challenge, so Ruwan was in a dilemma about whether to go for the Emperor level [Annihilation Tempest].

Suddenly, all his doubts regarding the situation disappeared as Ruwan remembered his fear when he saw the destruction the skill had caused. The next moment, he stopped doubting his choice and went through with the sale.

Since Ruwan needed more skills, he didn't leave the room but returned to the counter for Higher God cultivators. He then returned the King and Master level skills to their respective shelves.

ƥandasnovel·ƈom Ruwan didn't wish to have a second attacking skill, but he wanted a good defensive skill related to the element of earth.

Thinking like that, he reached for the second row since that contained defensive skills. Similar to his first experience, Ruwan decided to start with a master level skill.

When he pulled his hand out, there was a skill card in his hand. Ruwan focused on the content on it.

Soon after, he was faced with disappointment as the skill wasn't to his liking. He then returned the card and reached for the shelf again.

Ruwan kept trying, and his efforts finally bore fruit on his twelfth attempt. He intently read the details on the card and found the skill to be worth buying and learning.

Similar to the last time, Ruwan didn't make his decision but went to the King level shelf and pulled out the skill card. The effect of the skill had grown, and its detail further impressed him.

Ruwan then reached out to the Emperor level shelf and pulled out the same skill card.

[Name: Resolute Fortress

Type: Defensive

Level: Emperor

Cultivation Level: Early to peak Higher God

Effect: Creates an impregnable fortress of earth and energy for defense

Description: The user taps into the elemental essence of earth, erecting an impenetrable fortress of unparalleled defense. This skill summons an immense Fortress comprised of solid earth and infused with powerful energy constructs, serving as the ultimate bastion against all forms of assault.

The use of the Resolute Fortress comes at a significant cost. The immense energy and concentration required to summon and maintain the fortress drain the user's energy, and if kept for long durations, it drains vitality.

Price: Five hundred supreme Sacred stones.]

Ruwan's eyes grew wide open as he read the details of the Emperor level [Resolute Fortress]. For the Emperor level skill, the usage had come down hugely, as for the lower level of the skill, vitality was the first thing to be drained, whereas, for the Emperor level, vitality only started if the skill was kept activated for a longer duration.

There was also another addition to the skill, and that was the energy construct. The lower level skill simply consisted of a small earthen fortress defending him.I think you should take a look at

Ruwan couldn't help but imagine what improvements would be there for the God level [Resolute Fortress]. Not stopping him, Ruwan reached for the shelf and pulled out the skill card.

Ruwan's jaw almost dropped to the ground when he read the skill's details. The difference between the defensive capability of the God level and the Emperor level was wider than what it would be for the Novice and Emperor levels.

For the God level [Resolute Fortress], the skill could not only summon a fortress and energy constructs, but the fortress was alive as it sentiently defended the user and kept summoning earthen puppets to die as a shield for the user.

There wasn't much difference between the side effects of the skill, as the exhaustion period had simply been extended by a few seconds.

Ruwan wanted to buy the God level skill right at that moment without even experiencing it, but Ruwan controlled himself and didn't lose in greed. Ruwan could buy it, but his most pressing moment was the challenge he was to face seven years later.

Ruwan's compatibility with the earth element wasn't as great as the element of air, so he needed to buy a defensive skill that he would be able to use during his battle with his evil stepbrother.

If an Emperor level skill related to the element of air could take him four years to learn despite his compatibility being almost 90%, he didn't even dare imagine what amount of time it would take him to learn the God level [Resolute Fortress].

Considering those factors, Ruwan was stuck between King and Emperor levels of skill. He stood there, pondering what to choose.

He could go to the experience area to find out, but his intuition told him that there was no point in doing that.

The price of the [Resolute Fortress] was double that of the [Annihilation Tempest], so the former was bound to be more complex than the latter. If the second one could take four years of training time, the former would at least take longer than that.

Since he only had seven years left for the battle, time was of the essence. There was no point in buying a skill with better effects if he couldn't use it in battle.

Considering those factors, Ruwan came to his decision. With a helpless sigh, he returned the master, Emperor, and God level [Resolute Fortress] to their respective shelves.

Since he had made his choice for the attacking and defensive types of skills, now only a supporting type skill was left.

There were different effects of skills when it came to the supporting type. Ruwan was leaning toward healing more than a buff skill since he had no healing skills while he had one buff skill.

For the healing type, Ruwan chose the water element he had control over. Thinking of the same, Ruwan reached for the respective row, and when he pulled his hand out, there was a skill card in his hand.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

While Ruwan was searching for skills, Aakesh heard the sound of footsteps approaching the store from the outside. He opened his eyes and turned in that direction, only to be greeted by an unfamiliar face heading toward the store.

Aakesh waited for the man to enter, and soon after, the man stepped inside the store.

The array blocking his sight and hearing stopped, and the scene inside the store presented itself to the man.
