Chapter 1090: Time To Get A Second Specialization
-----
There was the Divine Skill Evolution Grimoire left, but I was quite tired of looking at Skills, so I decided to use the Skill Specialization Marble and be done with it for now.
-----
[Skill Specialization Marble (SS Grade)]
A Special Unique Item only rewarded through Special World Quests to exceptional Players.
Allows for the ability to select a single skill from any category and transform it into a Skill Specialization, separated from normal Skill Slots.
Skill Specializations are Powers that can be imbued into a selected Skill to permanently transform them into something completely different or even better than before.
Skill Specializations will have both Passive and Active effects that will harmonize with all other Skills.
Skill Specialization will engrave the selected Skill into your very Soul, making it a part of your own growth and development as well as the future evolution of your Skills and other Abilities.
Based in the Specialization you chose, other skills will be affected when created through Skill Fusion, so choose carefully!
Once a Skill is chosen for Skill Specialization, it cannot be returned back to its original form.
-----
Yep, same description as before.
I remember that the last time I used this item, Mark helped me choose the Skill, but this time it'll be all on me.
The marble gave a bright white glow, as its effects activated.
Ding!
[You have activated the [Skill Specialization Marble (SS Grade)]!]
[The Marble is ready! Please choose a Skill you want to transform into your Specialization.]
[Once you choose the Skill, it will be lost forever, and you will be able to choose the Title of your Specialization based in 5 random generations.]
[If you dislike the first randomly generated Titles, you can spend 100.000.000 Gold to roll the dice and generate five more random generations.]
[Generate as many as possible until you find the perfect Title for your Specialization, don't spare any Gold!]
[The sacrificed Skill will be lost forever, but the resulting Skill Specialization might be affected by its abilities, so choose carefully.]
[You have already used a Skill Specialization Marble; you can only have up to three Specializations.]
[This will be your second ever Specialization, so please carefully choose.]
[Your First Specialization has already reached Rank 2; you can now pick a new Skill to add to its Specialization Roots.]
[Or you can wait and pick your second Specialization, and further converge both Specialization Roots to get stronger results.]
Oh? I can do that too? Interesting…
"Can I pick a skill for both Specializations when they hit Rank 2 or only one for both?"
[You can choose either way.]
"Interesting… Alright, let's begin."
I glanced at all my available Skills; this was often a hard choice no matter what.
But this time, I wanted something related with battling, fighting, and beating foes.
I wanted something that could also help me slay demon kings and wizards!
But I think that might be way too specific, even for a specialization.
Hmm, this is a bit complicated, I want something that can help me further converge all my fighting abilities, which is mostly swordsmanship and magic.
But which Skill can I choose to get to that point?
Perhaps I need some assistance from a Helper Spirit.
"Hey, Helper, can you give me some recommendations?" I wondered.
The Assistant Spirit, which I've had since I started playing, quickly materialized in front of me.
"I've heard you, what do you want to find in specific?" he wondered, he looked slightly bored.
I explained to him what I wanted.
"Interesting… So you don't want an additional power because you just have too many already, but something that can further boost and perhaps evolve already existing abilities? Well, it all depends on the Specialization Title Gacha at the end of the day, but the Core Skill you choose does have some effect too," he nodded.
"Yeah, something related with fighting…" I said. "It could work, right?"
"Yes, something to do with fighting as the base should do, the rest would be then affected by your already existing powers, skills, and your own actions," he said.
"For example, if you simply choose a swordsmanship skill, then after being affected by all your accomplishments, achievements, and abilities, you could generate something like Blazing Spirit Swordsmanship, Demonic Blade Arts, Dual Swordsmanship Dance, and so on."
"So that's how it works…" I nodded.
"So, the more "general" the core skill is, the easier it will be for it to evolve into something you want," he explained. "Anyways, I've already calculated the ones that could become what you want, without taking away the skills you use daily and are your core abilities."
"Alright, show me the list," I nodded.
"Here, it includes Beast Skills and other Skills too, after all, anything can become a core skill for a specialization marble."
[Showcasing List of possible Skills that meet your criteria]
[Ray of Destruction: Lv1]
[Prehistoric Strength: Lv-- (Divine Dish Skill)]
[Wild Beast Fighting Arts: Lv1/100 (Guardian Skill)]
[Sword Intent Embodiment: Lv1/100 (Guardian Skill)]
[Beast Fire: Lv-- (Divine Dish Skill)]
[Ice Spirit Weaponization: Lv1/100 (Guardian Skill)]
"Those are the Skills that I've calculated could met your criteria one way or another, although with varying degrees of accuracy, and each one could end up on an incredibly different result."
"I understand…" I nodded.
It was a tough choice, there was more than I imagined.
Ray of Destruction can be chosen, that's a World Boss Skill!
I had no idea… But it's quite basic, just a powerful ray of energy though.
Prehistoric Strength seems interesting, physical power boost, maybe it could merge with something else into something even stronger.
Wild Beast Fighting Arts is… about fighting like a wild beast, interesting one so far, but its part of the stored skills too.
Sword Intent Embodiment got potential, but I kind of want to make the specialization supplement it instead of making it the specialization.
Then there's… Beast Fire? It summons beast-shaped flames…
And lastly, Ice Spirit Weaponization, turns ice spirits into different types of weapons.
Hmm, I can imagine many ways this could go, but I think I'll go for the safest choice.
Ding!
[You have chosen the [Wild Beast Fighting Arts: Lv1/100 (Guardian Skill)] as the Skill Specialization Core!]
[Once your Skill Specialization Ranks Up in the future, you will be able to pick a second Skill for the Specialization Roots that will grow from it.]
