Chapter 59: Myriad-Shaped Immortal Vanquishing Slash»

He was now only 20 Experience points away from leveling up and reaching level 6. Marvin wondered whether he will receive a skill or not. Thinking about skill, he remembered the sword skill he received from completing the quest. Thus, Marvin opened the inventory.

Inside laid a lot of items but his gaze was attracted to a small crystal of some sort. It was shaped like a beast core but shimmered in myriad light. This was the Mystic Sword Art: Myriad-Shaped Immortal Vanquishing Slash, a skill from Life Taker.

"That expert name is threatening enough, so was the skill name but let's see whether the skill is worth it or not" Marvin was hyped to obtain a skill from Life Taker inheritance.

Without any adieu, he pulled out the crystal from the semi-transparent screen and held it within his hand.

Ding!

The Inspect ability was activated and a screen containing the information about the crystal in his hand popped up.

"What a mystical item..." Reading through it swiftly, Marvin nodded his head in satisfaction.

Skill Recording Crystal

[Description: A item that is used to record a skill.

Rank: Mystic

Status: In use. It's storing the Mystic Sword Art: Myriad-Shaped Immortal Vanquishing Slash

Effect: Can be used to gain knowledge about the Recorded skill]

There was no instruction on how to use it and the only one that can help explain how to use it was Noah.

He then turned his attention to Noah and asked,

"Noah, how do I use this thing?" 

This is a Skill Recording crystal. The Gamer just needs to drop a small amount of blood on the crystal and the knowledge inside it will become a part of your memories Noah explained.

Doing as Noah said, he used the inquisitor dagger to create a cut on his finger and extended it towards the skill recording crystal and let drops of blood drip into its shell. Each drop of blood was absorbed by the crystal shimmering in myriad light until it was shinning in only Scarlet. Whereas Marvin's eyes have turned hazy. Furthermore, his pupils were shinning in myriad lights.

"Where am I?" He found himself in a weird place.

Wasn't he was supposed to be absorbing knowledge about the sword skill?

Why's he in this godforsaken land with no life or fauna?

Just an endless sea of stars twinkled in the vast expanses while he stood amid a rocky sphere illuminated by white light reflecting out of the stars.

Gamer, this is a memory scape. It's a land made out of Life Taker's memory about the Mystic Sword Skill: Myriad-shaped Immortal Vanquishing Slash Noah words calmed him down in an instant and he was further informed, You should focus more on the man in front of you

"The man in front of me?" The moment he looked up, he saw a man with flowing black hair. With just a single look into those abyssal black eyes, he could tell that the man before him had a history of killing and that his skills had reached the peak.

Only the eyes and lips of the man could be seen, for the rest of the face was covered by a wooden. mask. A cloak was draped over the man's body and a sword was held in his hand.

Looking at him, there was only one question in Marvin's mind.

'Life Taker... Will this expert skills with sword be so powerful that with a single slash he can vanquish immortals and Devil?'

The lips of the man wearing a mask parted as he began to talk.

"The sword is a reflection of one's mind, heart, and strength. If one's mental fortitude isn't strong, the person won't be decisive even in a life and death situation! If one's heart isn't clear, the skills they display through the sword would be shaky and lack sword intent! If one lacks strength then even with a strong mental fortitude and a clear heart, the Mystic Sword Art can't vanquish Immortals."

After saying that, the sword in Life Taker's hands began to move.

He swung it vertically as though he wanted to split the seas and shatter the towering mountain whose peak thrust to the clouded night skies. An uncountable number of beams of light shot out from his sword. These beams of light combined into myriad forms and rushed forward.

Awestruck, Marvin's eyes opened in shock and surprise when he saw the beams of sword light taking the shape of mythical creatures such as Fenrir, Golden Dragon, Black Turtle, Azure Dragon, Phoenix, White Winged Tiger as they shoot towards the heaven, Destroying everything in their path!

"The sword changes with the change in the disposition of its partner. The partner of a sword is its user. A change in disposition brings about an instant change in one sword style even if barely discernable." 

Life Taker's voice was pleasant to hear in Marvin's ear. As the situation was no different than an immortal imparting heavenly knowledge to a mere mortal. Each of his words, Marvin engraved in his heart.

Su Su Su Su!

Life Taker's aura changed from overwhelming and domineering to calm and peaceful as he slashed once again. However, the Powerful strength exerted through the sword remained the same, and wind waves scattered into the endlessness, shaking the entire starry skies.

Ting!

At the end of his sword routine, Life Taker sends a horizontal stab towards the rocky surface.

A line was drawn on the rocky surface as it split in two and then it exploded with a Bam!

Effect: Shoot out beams of light that contain a hint of myriad creatures. The power of the attack will increase according to the amount of Magic power or other energy consumed to use this skill. The higher the amount, the higher the power of the attack

The skill is divided into Basic, intermediate, advanced, peak, and perfect tier. Noah is surprised that the Gamer managed to grasp the basic-tier from the information present in your mind

As Noah's notification rang in his mind, Marvin found himself back on the sofa with sweat dripping down his body and a soaked body.

Just what did he see? If someone asks him that then there's only one reply.
