Calamity Upon This World

Chapter 142: Ch-142 Optimized Skill Set-2

The third thing he learned was that he couldn't merge his bloodline abilities or chaos skills.

Which probably made sense considering they weren't normal skills, but that still didn't stop William from hoping for it.

Speaking of chaos skills William felt like he was forgetting something very important every time he looked at that section of his status screen.

'Hmm, what was it about?'

William tried his best to think about it, overexerting his brain to the limit.

And after a few minutes, he finally remembered a name.

"Zunesha?" William exclaimed.

However, almost as soon as he remembered that name, his mind went blank for a few seconds, and once he came back, he asked himself.

"What was I thinking about again?"

"Ah, right, I was looking at my new skills."

Ignoring that weird moment the fourth thing which he learned was that some skills were just too high leveled to be merged.

A perfect example was his [Child of Mana] skill. William wasn't exactly sure why this was, but he just assumed that it was because it was too high-level compared to all of his other skills.

Which probably made sense considering how he was the second person in the whole world to have it.

But moving on, the last and final thing he had taken note of was that ascension skills could not be merged.

William wasn't sure just why this was or what made ascension skills so special, but this was definitely something he wanted to explore a bit more in the future.

But speaking of ascension skills, William now had three of them, even though he was impressed at just how many he had considering even some of the powerhouses of the world didn't have an ascension skill due to how rare it is, and yet William had three of them.

Life truly wasn't fair, but speaking of that, even William wasn't sure just how strong he could be if he went all out and used all three of them at the same time.

Sadly, the time when William could freely use his ascension skills all at the same time was still far away, as currently William could only use one ascension skill at a time, and even that he couldn't use to its full potential.

But if he was truly desperate and needed to push himself, he could use two of them at once, though as one might expect, such a power came with drastic consequences, so William didn't want to consider it.

And moving on, the last skill he was really interested in was [Grand Master of Elemental Spirits], and this skill was created by merging [Loved by Spirits] and [Master of Elements].

This skill combined the best effects of the previous skills while offering a lot more and even amplifying the old effects by a sizable margin.

William could now manipulate elements that he had an affinity for (excluding chaos) at a basic level.

For example, William could now use pure wind element magic to fly in the air, unlike using a flight spell like he was before.

But sadly, this had quite a lot of limitations, such as being unable to follow complex commands. For example, if he wanted to create spears of wind, he needed to use a spell like normal.

Which definitely reduced the versatility of this skill quite a bit in Williams eyes, but nonetheless, it was a nice addition to have, especially since it enhanced his elemental magic even more than before.

All in all, William was definitely very satisfied with everything he had gained.

And with that, he was pretty much done with everything that really caught his eye, but just for the sake of checking them out, William decided to check the description of his other skills.

[Master of Threads], [Genius of Body and Aura], and [Resistance to Pain and Toxins] were basically just merged and enhanced versions of his previous skills, meaning there wasn't really much to comment on.

But they are a good addition to his arsenal.

And after checking them out, William was finally done with his skills, meaning he could finally move on to the thing that had most interested him.

While the skills were nice, the whole reason why William had become an adventurer was so that he could gain natural treasures and amass as many chaos servants as possible.

And this was his first step towards that goal.

He was going to gain two brand new chaos servants, and one of them was going to be of the SS rank.

William had yet to see any servants summoned using a SS treasure as a sacrifice, but he was certain it was definitely going to be something worth seeing.

By this point, his eyes were practically twinkling due to how excited he was.

William had already tested this multiple times before, so he knew that whatever creature his aspect summoned would no doubt be safe for both him and his surroundings, meaning what he was about to do was safe.

With that considered, it was finally time for what he had been waiting for.

After placing the purple SS natural treasure on the floor, he moved away as he chanted the prayer required for the summoning.

"With this natural treasure, I summon..."

With that, after over 108 chapters, volume 2 [Calamity Out in the World] has come to an end.

Also, I'm sorry for ending it on a cliffhanger, lol, but I just thought it was funny, so I did it. Find your next adventure on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

And for anyone who was confused about the Cleansers meeting, don't worry, I'll show it in arc 3.

I opted to skip it in this volume since I felt this arc was dragging on too much, but I still sincerely hope you guys enjoyed volume 2.

I spent a lot of time and effort into this volume, and I definitely feel I've improved as an author over the course of this volume, so I hope you guys were able to see the improvement.

But enough about now to move on to some serious things.

First of all, I would like to apologize for not uploading  for the past few days, but to basically explain it to you, I got burned out after daily posting for 3 months and needed a small break for my own mental and emotional health.

Thankfully, I have recovered now and can start posting again, but despite this, I would like to take a day or two to properly plan everything out for the next arc before I start writing, and I just hope you can understand my reasoning.

And to end this author note, I wish to tell you guys to prepare for Volume 3 [Calamity in the Neutral Continent], as it will most likely be the best volume so far.

Cheers.
