229 Advanced

[ You have successfully nurtured the 'Icy Fire' physique! ]

[ You have obtained body ability 'Ice Skin & Fire Muscles' ]

[ 'Fire Immunity' has leveled up! ]

[ 'Fire Immunity' has leveled up! ]

[ ... ]

[ 'Fire Immunity' has reached the Advanced rank! ]

[ 'Ice Immunity' has leveled up! ]

[ 'Ice Immunity' has leveled up! ]

[ ... ]

[ 'Ice Immunity' has reached the Advanced rank! ]

The first advanced rank ability was actually realized due to a physique!

[ 'Ice Skin & Fire Muscles'

- Ice Skin - Defense is amplified by 15% when using Ice elements to support it.

- Fire Muscles - Offense is amplified by 15% when using Fire elements to support it. ]

This physique was quite different than the major 'Lightning' and 'Thunder' Physiques that I already had, it didn't allow me to transmit the full nature of the element, but gave the 'Ice Skin & Fire Muscles' ability which was equally as powerful!

The second benefit was a huge boost to my burn and freeze resistance, allowing me to witness the first advanced skill that I had…

The legacy of that powerhouse seemed to hold true to its ability but that only made me wonder even more about the entity which managed to restrict them from destroying the bases easily…

But I didn't plan to worry about that now, as my top priority was to continue my shopping spree!

'Only two upgrades after adding 3 weapons…'

It was to be expected after all, feeding a grown cow would obviously take more than feeding a baby cow, and an Epic weapon would obviously require more food than a Unique one.

But in the end, I did finally manage to unlock all veins corresponding to my current elements and unlocking all 'Phases' for weapon I trained! Of course that came at the expense of almost all my points...

All that was left was to check the result and the actual use of the 'Cloud' phase!

Touching the cute cloud that was still hovering in front of me, I suddenly received a jolt…

Thump!

[ Mental connection with 'Lightning Cloud' has been formed! ]

[ 'Instant form & phase change' is now active! ]

'Hmmm…'

Holding the cloud in my palm, it suddenly started solidifying again, taking the shape of the original katana one edged blade, but just as half the blade has formed…

'Stop.'

The solidification did indeed stop, which made it look as if it was some sort of rubbish broken sword…

'As Expected!'

The 'Cloud' phase was simply like a medium that allowed me to change the forms and phases within the ones I added to 'Lightning Cloud', or even limit these to a certain extent.

That reminded me of my exchange battle style that relied on transferring weapons through the ring, which has lately proved inefficient due to my enemies boosting better agility and abilities, but now that I could use the 'Cloud' phase's 'Instant form & phase change' I could bring that style back!

Not to mention that it could also be used in disguise battle tricks…

Continuing with the test, I let the whole sword form as I started injecting my elements, new and old alike…

The sword started to shine in various colors as the outer coating also took effect… and the effect of the six veins had easily surpassed the effect of a normal fully conductive weapon!

Though only 2 hours has passed since I entered the system space, I had already managed to increase my own prowess alongside my equipment's range of ability by a great bargain!

Looking at my current low point sum, I wondered what should I buy with this pitiful amount…

[ Current balance - 1789 FSP. ]

"They can't be reserved this time?"

[They can, but they would lose half their value by the next time we come here.]

"Sigh… I guess I could only get more storage rings…'

[ '50 cubic meters spatial ring' purchased - 1250 FSP consumed. ]

[ '10 cubic meters spatial ring' purchased - 250 FSP consumed. ]

['10 cubic meters spatial ring' purchased - 250 FSP consumed. ]

[ Current balance - 39 FSP. ]

"I will leave them, I guess…"

There was no normal items like the 1 point leather armor I bought at the tutorial shop, the lowest item price was 50 points, so I could do nothing with my pitiful 39 FSP left…

'Let's move on to the last thing then.'

Looking at the last hovering item, the 'light armor creation ticket', I checked its ability through 'Eye of Knowledge' to find the way it's used.

[ 'Light armor Creation ticket' (Special**)

Description: can be used to create a light armor with two special abilities.

*Special Ability: 'Random'

*Special Ability: 'Random'

Note: the random abilities chosen will be of convenience to you. ]

'So I just need to tear it?'

Tearing the ticket while expecting nothing special, I waited a few seconds before the item took shape…

[ Congratulations! You have obtained 'Convenient light armor' (Special**) ]

'Eh?'

[ 'Convenient light armor' (Special**)

Description: a light armor that brings convenience to its user.

*Special Ability: 'Auto-recovery'

*Special Ability: 'Color Change on demand'. ]

Holding the white leather armor in my hand, I used a normal sword that was stored in my ring to tear a part of it as it magically recovered after a few seconds.

'As funny as it's, it's indeed convenient…'

Even though attacks usually didn't reach me as I was a great dodger, the armor I would be wearing would usually tear from my muscles' fast moves which made me change over 20 sets of leather armor in my two months of grinding as the 'Demon Hunter' of the Lightning Knight Brigade.

As for the color change function, it didn't take me much time to figure it out, I just had to touch it and think of the color I wanted for it to change, and while it seemed a bit useless, it wasn't the worst ability I could get, in fact it served to hide the fact the armor was an auto recovering one, as changing the color would make the observers think it's just a similar set from the same series or something.
