Shadow Monarch in Tensura

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Evolving Skills

Some time passed since my little fight with Milim, and fortunately, Guy wasn't that angry over it, so I'm good. Velzard, on the other hand, is another story that I left Guy to deal with.

But back to the reason I fought Milim. With both the skills I needed in my possession, I could go further with the second step of my plan.

My Intrinsic Skill: [Black Heart] is generating magicules for me constantly while Lord of Wrath: [Satanael], I copied from Milim, takes in the magicules from their surroundings and mixes it with their own magical energy. They then collide together in a process similar to nuclear fusion and create more magicules.

So what If I combined the skills together? Satanel will take the magicules my Black Heart generates and collide them together, increasing the magicules it can generate.

In theory, it should work because my Unique Skill: [Mystery] allows me to chain several skills together and should double, if not triple, the number of magicules I generate.

I sat down and started my experiment.

It took me a couple of hours to do it, but with some time, I got it down and working. I could feel the increase of magiucles I gained. I also felt more anger, but nothing I couldn't suppress.

Let's see. I took out the pocket watch I got from Mom all those years ago and checked the time before checking my status.

_____

Magicules: 56,270,950

[Stats]

Strength: 14,140 + 18% = 16,685

Vitality: 13,573 + 18% = 16,016

Agility: 13,879 + 18% = 16,377

Intelligence: 13,705 + 18% = 16,171

Perception: 13,705 + 18% = 16,171

_____

So now let's see how much more magicules I will gain over the period of one month.

Before my Intrinsic Skill: [Black Heart] gave me 400 magicules per day with a status increase of around 0.6 points per day for every stat.

Then for the next 30 days, I will have my shadows stop hunting monsters so I can get the exact numbers down.

---

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to see how it worked, bringing forth my status. I had a smile seeing the amount of magicules I gained.

_____

Magicules: 56,300,950

[Stats]

Strength: 14,158 + 18% = 16,706

Vitality: 13,591 + 18% = 16,037

Agility: 13,897 + 18% = 16,398

Intelligence: 13,723 + 18% = 16,193

Perception: 13,723 + 18% = 16,193

_____

30,000 Magicules per month that's not bad, a 2.5x boost, but I could probably make it even more efficient. But how would I do it?

"What if..." I mumbled to myself and started using my copied version of Lord of Heaven: [Astarte] to see if I could evolve my Black Heart and Magicule Breeder Reactor combination to something better like a Unique Skill.

After a few hours of analyzing and planning, I calculated that for it to work, I would need to use almost half of my magicules for it to work.

It was mostly due to one skill being a copy of an Ultimate Skill while the other is an Intrinsic Skill on the level of a Unique, if not an Ultimate Skill itself.
