It was a familiar message, one that Kai had seen multiple times, and yet he couldn't help but feel giddy each time he saw it.

The last skill he got was Soul Memorial, and that skill had turned out to be incredible, so he felt that it would be a little hard for this selection to top it.

Still, the only way to know was by looking at the skills.

And the first skill was... interesting, to say the least.

Soul Implosion (Legendary):

Learning from long forgotten murals, the progenitor of Statshifting learned how to become a living supernova. This skill allows the user to supercharge their soul with Soul Inferno with increased efficiency. The effects of the explosion will be amplified by 100% and can be boosted even further based on the user's Will stat. The user will be severely weakened after using this skill.

Kai blinked.

Did the system really like watching himself blow up that much?

However, despite the rarity, after looking over the description of the skill, Kai felt that it was a little... lacking.

Sure the power of the explosion was boosted by a crap ton, and if he wanted to he could switch all of his stats into Will before using it and make the attack even stronger, but the fact he would be severely weakened after it?

Severely was a pretty strong word. And even after supercharging his soul himself, which the effect was still really powerful considering that it had killed some beasts that were a higher level than him, the drawback was already him being out of commission for three hours.

He didn't even want to imagine what his soul would look like if it was severely injured. Honestly, if he had to guess, he would imagine that it would be in an even worse state than it was after escaping the city.

And it's not like he really needed a skill to blow himself up. He could already do it semi efficiently. Even if the actual explosion wasn't that strong, it wouldn't be an ability that he would be using often.

Right now, Kai had a terrible way of fighting. He was always weakened after every fight, which was something that would be detrimental to him in the future.

So he had to get better at fighting without harming himself in the process.

So that meant he would have to focus on his fusion with Umbra and sword fighting. Things like Ignition and blowing himself up would be put on hold for the foreseeable future, unless they ended up fighting some incredibly strong enemy.

The second skill offered was interesting, but pretty useless. It could sharpen one of his senses in exchange of weakening his other four. It seemed kind of useful, but not the type of skill he would want.

Looking down at the final skill, Kai-

Grinned happily.

It's about damn time.

Despite the fact that the final skill was of common rarity, despite the fact that the effect of the skill was pretty useless, Kai knew that this was by far the best option.

Lesser Sword Mastery (Common):

Grants the wielder a 1.1× damage increase when wielding sword type weapons.
