Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

There was a reason why I bestowed a unique skill on a goblin. And that reason was...

<Unique Skill Weaponist can be plunder. Would you like to obtain it? Yes/No.>

"Whooaa! It's really working! Yes."

<Unique Skill Weaponist has been plundered. Unique Skill Weaponist has been acquired.>

"Congratulations, SirBoss."

"Thank you, Azrael. With this hack, I can finally evolve a skill or two within this day."

In order to execute this hack successfully, I have many things to prepare.

Firstly, I have to get my hands on the vessels for the backup skills. The vessels that I used were goblins. They are so weak and dumb that they probably don't know how to use a skill they haven't used before.

Then, I will use the Bestow unique skill to make a backup file of the skills that I will be liquidating to the goblins. Unique Skills have the highest value since Bestow could only bestow skills up to unique level.

Finally, after the liquidation and conversion of the skill, I will kill the vessel in order to get back the bestowed backup file via my Plunder unique skill.

And voilà! Repeatable instant twenty million soul essences or ten skill points in just three easy steps.

"But I hope that it is really unlimited, unlike the other method."

"That's what I have been praying for, Azrael."

The other method that Azrael was talking about was somewhat successful but had its limits. That method was actually a lot easier than the hack that I am currently conducting.

It was using the same Skill Liquidation where I liquidate a skill then reviving the skill back again. The difference was that I did not use any vessel to implant my backup file.

Instead, I only liquidated the skills that I acquired via Skill Synthesis unique skill and acquired them back using the same Skill Synthesis.

It's almost perfect, but the problem is that that method had limits. The time I attempted to synthesize the same skill for the sixth time, a message suddenly rang in my head, saying...

[Abuse detected. The number of successful attempts of synthesizing a skill has been limited to five.]

That was really annoying and frustrating. It feels like the devs established a patch update for a game after sniffing the abuse the players have been doing with the game system.

It was really sad to have my newly discovered trick axed, but I had nothing to do with it. At least I am able to synthesize other skills up to five times.

Using that method, along with the monster massacre, I was able to accumulate lots of skill points. With my current SP, I can evolve a few unique skills, but I earned more first because I wanted to evolve multiple skills at once.

I am truly hoping that my actions of plundering skills would not be nerfed by the devs, or maybe the cosmocrats? Coz I really want to upgrade my skills to become stronger.

"Now then…" I said this before turning my attention to the remaining four paralyzed goblins. "Your turns. Bestow, Weaponist."

I opened my right palm towards the goblins lying on the ground. All of them glowed with a golden light for a short time, indicating the success of the bestowal of the Weaponist unique skill.

I activated the Skill Liquidation and converted the Weaponist into soul essence once again.

<…20,000,000 soul essences has been added to the Soul Bank.>

After that, I killed one of the goblins to plunder back the Weaponist unique skill. I repeat the process until I gave all the remaining three goblins cessation of life.

I was hyped up and telepathically commanded Azrael to get me five more goblins from the forest. Monsters with the title "Dungeon Monster" have a fixed skill set, so I cannot bestow a skill on them.

"Phew. I finally got enough SP to evolve five unique skills, and not a notification was received after ten plunders."

"Good for you, SirBoss."

It seems like the devs are not going to put a restriction on my pillaging of the same skill. I was genuinely glad at the news of not receiving any news.

I have accumulated lots of skill points, so I was kind of excited to use them and acquire an ultra skill right now.

Before that, I have to double-check and convert some soul essences into skill points via Soul Bank. I cannot evolve with insufficient SP after all.

~~~~~~~~~~

Accumulated Soul Essence: 1,052,067 SE

Available Skill Point: 591 SP

~~~~~~~~~~

I had successfully converted the two hundred million soul essences that I collected today into 200 SP, which were added to my total SP.

It seems like I had collected enough SPs to satisfy my desire to evolve five unique skills at the same time. Without wasting any time, I hastily selected the unique skill I wanted to upgrade.

First, the Unique skill Skill Synthesis…

<Attempt on the evolution of the Unique Skill: Skill Synthesis, do you want to continue with 100 SP? Yes/No?>

(Yes.)

<Executing... Successful. Unique Skill: Skill Synthesis has evolved into Ultra Skill: Ultimate Combination.>

"Yes! Another Ultra skill!"

"Congratulations, SirBoss."

I shouted in joy at my acquisition of a new ultra skill. Azrael gave me a round of applause, celebrating my success with me.

"Okay! The next one!"

Although I really wanted to test my newest ultra skill right away, I quickly composed myself and continued to proceed with evolving the next unique skill.

But as I am trying it once again, a voiced notification rings out of my head...

<Notice. The host's current body and soul are incapable of acquiring one more Ultra Skill. Evolution to a higher lifeform is advised.>

As soon as the announcement ended, I felt so distraught that I kneeled and put my palms on the ground.

"Why? Why do you have to be this cruel?"

"Is there a problem, SirBoss?"

Azrael asked after seeing me go into a slump.

"It appears that there is a condition I need to fulfill."

"How so?"

"My current body and soul were not enough to hold one more ultra skill. I need to evolve in order to acquire an ultra skill."

"I don't think you should fall like that, SirBoss. You only need less than twenty levels to evolve." Azrael kneeled beside me and tapped my back.

He is right. I don't need to be saddened by this single announcement. Thanks to his words, I regained myself and stood up from my prostration.

"Thank you again, Azrael. Your words lift me up."

"It's no problem at all. I am just doing what a servant does."

I was actually kind of surprised when the announcement popped up. Isn't it weird to receive notifications from the system this frequently? Well, I am a reincarnator, so it's not surprising if some celestial beings are watching me from above.

The notification suggested me to evolve in order to gain more ultra skills. It is reasonable since you can't install heavy games on a potato phone.

If you forcefully install heavy games on a potato phone, the phone might overload and burn from the excessive amount of processing required to play the game. I had experienced this before, so I knew that feeling.

Humans are considered to be one of the weakest intelligent races in the world. They have a shorter lifespan and a lower growth rate compared to the other races.

In spite of being the weakest, humans are one of the most dominant races in the world. The obvious reasons are their advanced civilization and immense population.

But the weakest being could become the most powerful. Once a human evolved into a High Human, that human would gain lots of buffs and develop a greater growth rate that exceeded what every race was supposed to have.

That was what my two High Human mothers told me, so that claim was kind of true. But no matter how superior they are compared to me, physically and spiritually, they are mine and will be mine forever.

The body and soul of a High Human is powerful enough to contain large amounts of Ultra Skills. Although it is tiring and time will come, I have to patiently wait for myself to evolve by killing monsters.

At least I am accumulating soul essences from the monsters along the way. For now, let me check my newly acquired Ultimate Combination ultra skill.

~~~~~~~~~~

Ultimate Combination: combine compatible skills to create a new skill up to the ultimate level.

~~~~~~~~~~

The function is not that different from that of its predecessor skill, Skill Synthesis. The only difference is that Ultimate Combination can combine skills into an ultra skill.

This might be the reason why I cannot acquire an ultra skill via the combination of Skill Synthesis. Unique level produces up to unique level.

Due to the fact that I cannot acquire an ultra skill as I remain Human, Ultimate Combination will be useless to a certain degree. At least I can still use it to combine skills to create non-ultra skills.

I looked up and stared at the calm afternoon sky of the dungeon, then thought about my next steps for my improvement.

"Well, it looks like I have to work hard before I could reach my goals."

"If you persevere, you will reap the fruits of your labor."

"That's hit the mark, Azrael."

If I don't work hard enough, I won't have enough willpower to learn the skills I wish for. The best time to start is today.

"Well then. I have to go."

"Take care, SirBoss."

After I bid farewell with Azrael, I warped myself down to the 59th Floor to farm Levels.
