Chapter 198 - Acquiring Infernal Skills!
-----
It has been around 4 days since the news of the two girls being pregnant, and I had been training and relaxing for the most part, but today I had decided to fuse some Skills together and see what I can get and how much they cost approximately.
However, before that, I had to absorb a few spheres. They were dropped by the demons and infernal generals and held interesting Skills which I might as well pickup.
The spheres were Ability Spheres, which had the size of the palm of my hands, they glowed with a mysterious and colorful light, mildly ethereal but also dark, as they were dropped from these powerful demons and possessed a part of their abilities.
[You learned the following Abilities]
[Infernal General of Temptation (SSS)]
[Tempting and Charming Aura (SSS)]
[Infernal General of Stealth (SSS)]
[Flexible Shadow Demon Physique (SSS)]
[Infernal General of Resiliency (SSS)]
[Demonic Guardian Demon Physique (SSS)]
[Infernal General of Might (SSS)]
[Furious Warrior Demon Physique (SSS)]
[Infernal Demon Soul Psyche (SSS)]
[Infernal Core (SSS)]
…
The Abilities I acquired were all related with passive effects, each one was like a title of these infernal generals, which granted a boost on my stat growth and enhanced the power of certain actions or aspects.
Temptation seemed to enhance my charm, which felt… erm, well, quite interesting. Stealth seemed to enhance my stealth capabilities and enhanced the power of my Shadow Bending. Meanwhile, Resiliency… well, it enhanced my defenses to physical and magical damage. Lastly, Might was just power, raw power. It enhanced my strength and the power of physical skills.
There were also some Physique and Psyche Skills, and lastly, there was this thing, Infernal Core.
This Infernal Core was the same thing these Demons had. I was already wondering if I could ever get one myself, maybe by activating this Skill, it could be possible.
If I do so, I would not only have my Soul Core, but also a Beast Spirit Orb and a then this Infernal Core to boot. I mean, it looks like it could help me greatly.
Thanks to Beast Ki I am capable of enhancing my body a lot, and through it, I was able to come out with all sorts of Skills related to Beast Spirit Summoning and the like. So perhaps by acquiring Infernal/Demonic Energy, I will be able to acquire new abilities from within it, as I change Jobs, of course.
I decided to activate the Skill right away, and the effects were almost instantly.
A large chunk of my Mana was consumed in an instant, as it was refined and transmuted into Infernal Energy, which began to materialize in chest.
Of course, my Beast Spirit Orb was there, so the Infernal Core formed a bit below it, in between the lungs and the stomach.
FLASH!
My entire body began to exude a powerful infernal and dark energy, it was as if another stream of dark and red forces began to flow through my veins, enveloping the stream of blue essence, my mana, alongside the stream of golden essence, the beast ki.
Now that I had three different types of energies within me, they began to act strangely, Beas Ki and Infernal Energy were not compatible and were trying to cancel each other, which made my body tremble and convulse, it felt as if I was going to explode into pieces.
However, I used my Mana, which is compatible with both, and forcefully merged these two energies together and made them cooperate with one another, using Mana as a strong thread that wrapped both of them together!
FLASH!
At the same time, I sat cross-legged and meditated for a while, until my body adapted to this and finally felt a bit better. Phew, that was quite a bit tougher than I had expected this to be.
With everything over, I felt the power of Infernal Energy rushing through me, my stats had increased rather well after this, and I could sense that there was a large red jewel-like core in the area around my torso.
Have I become part demon now? My race didn't changed, but something might occur at some point, perhaps.
Infernals cultivate like most other races, absorbing essence and refining it into their infernal energies. So I suppose I can easily do this automatically by leveling up, which has very similar principles, and merely not care about anything else regarding this.
I checked my stats and saw the results…
