The First Store System

Chapter 1564: Stellar Empowerment!

After the experience was over, Neira's consciousness returned to her body, and the square screen on the semi-pillar lightened up immediately after that.

Time flew by, and soon it was time for Neira to experience [Stellar Empowerment]. She replaced the card, and the next moment, the phenomenon of her consciousness teleporting to another location played out.

It was a supporting skill, so Neira had expected an environment where she would be able to feel the change that came with the effect, but was wrong. A large army of still enemies stood before her, and her uncontrollable body was ready to attack.

She didn't stand alone, but behind her, some allies were also following her lead.

Horn!

A horn suddenly rang out of nowhere, and in response to that, the large army became active.

Neira felt a chill crawling down her spine in horror as the terrible pressure emerging from the cry of the large army hit her. She could almost see herself being crushed by her enemies.

Her body had an entirely different reaction. With cold eyes, she activated the skill. The next moment, the element of metal in the environment began rushing toward her.

She had become a magnet, and one after another, waves of elemental energy rushed to her. The allies had the same feeling of being submerged by the energy.

Neira felt the change in compatibility as the element became closer to her. She could see her strength growing at a rapid rate.

At that time, the enemies charged, and following her lead, the allies also rushed to meet the army. A spear had appeared in Neira's hand, and she immediately thrust it once she met the first enemy.

The sword was a creation of a metal element skill, not a real weapon, but due to the bonus of the skill, it was no less than a real weapon. Neira found that she could use the skills she originally owned in the experience session.

Fortunately for Neira, it was her body doing the work, so the effects remained in control despite her seeing the exaggerated increase in strength. She wasn't alone, and her allies had the same boost.

In the first round of the clash, the enemies lost twenty-six of their soldiers, while Neira's side didn't receive even one scratch.

The two sides kept clashing, with Neira's side retaining the upper hand, but the sheer number of enemies offset that advantage.

As Neira fought more and more, she understood that there was no victory in sight. The experience session simply showed the increase in her strength with the skill compared to when she didn't have it.

Without the skill, she would have died in the first few rounds of clashes, but with the skill, she was fighting well despite there being several rounds of clashes.

A few minutes later, the first ally died, and it seemed to have broken the dam as allies started dying one after another.

Around six minutes later, Neira was the last one left, and she saw her death approaching her as a large number of enemies drowned her. She didn't survive the assault, and her consciousness returned to the store.

She immediately looked at the screen, excited to know her training time. The screen lightened up, and content started appearing on it.

[Skill: Stellar Empowerment

Level: God

Cultivator: Early to Peak Supreme God

Elemental Compatibility: Metal: 73%

Skill Compatibility: 71%

Training Time: Eight thousand nine hundred three years.]

Neira's excitement disappeared when she saw the number on the screen.

'Some more thousand years of training,' She sighed in her heart since the last two skills she chose also had training times ranging in thousands of years.

Even with the long training time, she didn't hesitate. After experiencing the boost in her strength, she loved the skill even more.

She then looked at the last skill in her hand and replaced the card in the card compartment with it.

Following that, the same phenomenon played out, and she appeared in a different location.

Like the last experience, she was on a battlefield with allies on her side and a large number of enemies. Unlike the prior time, the enemy wasn't overwhelmingly large in number. It was a quality-on-quality battle, not quantity like the previous time.

Horn!

The horn rang, and the battle began. She immediately activated the skill, and following that, elemental energies rushed toward her group.

It was an external and internal boost, so metallic armor began to cover the bodies while spears appeared in their hands. Their combat instinct saw enhancement, and they could think of many ways to use the weapon for their benefit in difficult situations, which they couldn't before.

An aura of dominance engulfed the battlefield as the allies's defenses and offenses saw a boost like never before. Neira's consciousness had a surprised expression since she seemed to have underestimated the enhancement.

After experiencing the enhancement after completely mastering the skill, she could feel that she was three times stronger than before. She couldn't help but wonder whether she would have been able to defeat the Purple Drongo if she had owned the skill earlier.

An answer immediately rang in her head, and it was a negative response. The power difference between the two sides was extensive, and even the skill couldn't mend that gap. Her body had already moved ahead with her charge while she was thinking that.

The two sides clashed, and the enemies got pushed back with slight injuries. Neira's side didn't get any injury, so her side won the first clash.

Time flew by, and Neira's consciousness returned to the store after the experience session was over.

She immediately looked at the screen, wanting to see the training time.

[Skill: Metal Genesis

Level: God

Cultivator: Early to Peak Supreme God

Elemental Compatibility: Metal: 74%

Skill Compatibility: 74%

Training Time: Seventeen thousand six hundred three years.]

With a glance, the content on the screen got engraved into her mind. Her eyes lit up when she saw the compatibility section since it was the highest of the four skills she chose, but they turned dim when she reached the last section.

Despite having the highest elemental and skill compatibility of the four skills, the training time was longer than the others. Neira then calmed down since the skill combined different aspects, so it was understood that it would require the most time to master.

She liked the skill even with that, so she pulled it out of the card compartment. She then turned around and left the room.

There was a small queue of customers before the store owner, and she also joined it, waiting for her turn to complete the sale.

A few minutes later, the sale was complete, and since she had nothing else to do in the store, she walked to the waiting corner to wait for her turn in Panagea.
