MTLNOVEL Chapter 363: Peak Of Rank B
Daniel, after saying good night to Andreas, went to his cabin on the ship. Now that he had some free time, he wanted to take a look at the skills of his newly obtained Fallen.
Of course, Fino was naturally with Ilaris. When they saw it, they were completely surprised and shocked — after all, when they had left Daniel, he was alone, and when they came back, such a beautiful bird was at his shoulders.
However, Daniel made up a story of his own and told them. Since Ilaris had really taken a liking to Fino, she asked him to let her take care of Fino until they reached the Lionheart family.
Naturally, Daniel had no problem with that. In fact, he even felt grateful — taking care of a baby dragon didn't seem like an easy task, and he preferred to avoid such a responsibility for now.
Then he opened the Parasite's panel and took a quick look at it. The skills of this Parasite weren't that useful to him. All of them more or less did what his blood already did.
There were no defensive or even offensive skills among them. However, there were one or two possession-type skills that managed to catch his attention.
Most importantly, the only SS-Rank skill it had:
[ Soul Siphon ]
[ Rank: SS ]
[ Description: The user can completely drain the soul of the target and take control of their body. No one can notice any change in the soul because the soul itself does not change — only the will governing it does. ]
"This must be the skill he uses to control Rynor's body," he muttered to himself.
This skill could have many uses in the future, especially for times when he needed to change his identity and infiltrate anywhere with ease.
In fact, with this skill, he could establish his own spy organization. If he taught this skill to his organization, couldn't he turn them into the best assassins and spies in the world?
"In that case, I won't have any problem gathering information, and nothing will be hidden from my sight." His eyes gleamed.
This way, even if he decided to assassinate someone, he could do it in the fastest and most efficient way possible without paying any cost.
"A new mission for Rynor," he smirked. He decided to make the Parasite and one or two of his other Fallen responsible for this task.
The only problem was manpower. Recruiting and finding them could be a bit troublesome. Still, he already had some ideas for that.
Without hesitation, he copied the [ Soul Siphon ] skill and then moved on to the next Fallen — an A-Rank one who had belonged to the Goolden Tooth Bandits.
There were actually eleven of them. If he wanted to look through each of their skills one by one and copy them, it could take a lot of time.
So, he opened all their panels at once and gave them a quick look. With a sigh, he realized their stats were far too weak. But on second thought, it made sense.
These A-Ranks were just bandits. They weren't elite knights among the elite, so he couldn't expect much from them. Still, they were A-Rank.
The first skill that caught his eye was one called [ Thunder Of Lost Dreams ]. He clicked on it, and the description panel appeared before him:
[ Name: Thunder Of Lost Dreams ]
[ Rank: S ]
[ Description: The user can summon a thunderbolt which, upon striking the target, transforms all of their failures, regrets, sorrows, and anger into pain and acts as a deadly strike. ]
"Interesting." This was the first time he had seen such a skill, and it looked intriguing, especially since it was something that could be very effective in critical moments.
He copied it and then moved to the next panel. He didn't find anything interesting and decided to only take 10% of that person's Exp.
In fact, the next three A-Ranks also didn't have any skills that could catch his attention. They looked completely ordinary. Most of their skills were between Ranks A and B and weren't worth copying.
So, he just copied 10% of their Exp. But finally, the fifth A-Rank had an interesting skill.
[ Name: Eternal Burning Sun ]
[ Rank: S ]
[ Description: The user can create a miniature sun with limited power, unleashing an attack with an unimaginable volume of lava and fire onto the target. ]
Daniel stared at this skill in slight amazement. This wasn't something an ordinary A-Rank should have. Could it be that he had obtained it by chance?
After all, this skill seemed to be among the best even within S-Rank skills. Even more interestingly, if the user also possessed the Fire element, they could bring out the full power of this skill.
This skill wasn't only useful for him, but it could also be an excellent one for Tiana. Without hesitation, he copied it.
Then his gaze shifted to the six remaining panels. With a sigh, he opened the sixth panel. Unfortunately, there was nothing special there either, so he copied 10% of that one's Exp.
Fortunately, the next panel actually contained a good skill:
[ Name: Glass Domain ]
[ Rank: A ]
[ Description: The user can create a domain based on their Law. Within the domain, the user's power is increased by 50%, and the enemy's power is decreased by 50%. ]
[ Note: If the enemy is strong enough, they can break the domain. ]
Daniel's surprise came from the fact that, normally, only S-Ranks could create something known as a Law Domain.
A domain was unique to each individual, created based on their Laws, elements, interests, power, and personality. It was unchangeable
However, this [ Glass Domain ] skill allowed him to create a domain with any of his Laws. Of course, it definitely had many weaknesses — after all, it was only an A-Rank skill.
Most likely, it was just a weaker copy of the innate Law Domain skill that Awakened of Rank S received.
Still, he copied it to test how it worked and to prepare for the future. After that, he checked the rest of the panels one by one but didn't find anything else worth taking.
He copied 10% Exp from all of them, which pushed his rank from Mid-B to Peak-B.
Now, he only needed a bit more Exp to reach the ceiling of Rank B. At that point, he would have to fulfill the other conditions in order to advance to Rank A.
He was about to rest and prepare for tomorrow when suddenly a notification appeared before him:
[ Your sword, The Heavens Honor, has successfully evolved. ]
