Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 1704: Unique Skills



1704 Unique Skills

"It seems you took care of the… formalities."

Eren said while looking around him. "Good job, Roza," he gave a nod of approval as he got up from his position.

"You know what they were talking about right? I think I got some of it. Nonetheless, could you shed some light on it? You were here with them for well over two weeks. Anything you want to say apart from the things you said in your daily reports?"

Eren asked Roza as he stretched his arms. His Ability Unlimited Weapon Works had always strained his wrists and finger joints because of how logic-defying his weapon movements got under its influence.

However, the repercussions of using Unlimited Weapon Works after it was converted into a Skill were even more noticeable. Especially if and when he used that Skill for an extended period. Of course, unlike his other Skills, the effects of the Unlimited Weapon Works had also been enhanced for some reason.

The butcher concluded that the Mesh gave bonus to Skills that were weapon-handling related, provided the wielder had sufficient mastery over the respective weapons. He had a wide array of weapon comprehensions assimilated into his battle style. As such, the bonus his Skill Unlimited Weapon Works received because of it was significant.

"Um…. are you talking about the appearance of the Hvergelmir Springs, my liege?" Roza asked Eren as she followed right behind him. Both of them were heading towards the den's exit, leaving a fresh and processed murder scene behind them.

"That's right. I know that Hvergelmir Springs is an Existential Concept," Eren nodded as he kept on walking ahead.

"I know that Existential Concepts are bound to manifest in one way or the other all across the boundless cosmos. It's how the Existential Concepts highlight their state of being after all.

"Hmm," Eren scratched his chin as he asked Roza his next question. "That's great and all. But like… what does it mean in reality? What are the tangible benefits one can have after receiving a blessing from Hvergelmir Springs?"

"Oh," Roza didn't take long to answer Eren's question.

"It means the users of demonic arts have a chance to obtain powerful Skills for themselves. There's a chance one of their most used Skills gets converted into Greater Skills as well. They can also obtain a Tantra that has been created especially for them.

It is also possible for them to obtain a Unique Skill, a Skill that can potentially rival a Greater Skill in effect without the necessary cooldown attached to the Greater Skills. However, Unique Skills are rare and not something everyone can have. As such, most consider it to be a pipedream to obtain.

What's interesting is the fact that they won't have to spend Menaka's Runes to get such benefits from Hvergelmir Springs. This blessing and all its effects would be… um… free of cost… so to speak."

"Aah," Eren came to an understanding when Roza explained the tangible benefits of obtaining the blessing from Hvergelmir Springs. "No wonder those petty goons were so hard at work inside the den. Any other benefits apart from what you have mentioned so far?" he asked as he stopped in his tracks.

***

A chance to obtain Greater Skill was indeed tempting. However, Eren was interested in a chance to obtain a Unique Skill. The term implied that only one user could have access to such a Skill at any given time.

If Greater Skills were the higher forms of Skills then the Unique Skills could be defined as Skill anomalies to some extent. They would allow their users a tangible edge over their opponents.

The Greater Skills had a lot of limitations in their use. They couldn't be used frequently due to the cooldown times. Plus, they had a higher rate of mana consumption.

This was not the case with the Unique Skills. In some cases, they could even outshine the Greater Skills, provided their users used them in the right way.
