Chapter 2400: A Powerful Skill

I glanced at the new skill with great interest, what it included and what it meant to me was more than I imagined. Yes, it didn't restrain me completely, it was an activation-type Skill, so I could choose when to activate it or deactivate it, so there was no problem with that.

The combination of your Endless Demonic Lust and your Enlightened Mandala Arts has opened the Path towards your Ascension as a Bodhisattva, a legendary figure that is on their path towards Buddhahood. Your body has become the Embodiment of Mandala and Lust, while also becoming a Weapon that wields their power to finish enemies with the power of Enlightenment and Depravity knotted together.

The meaning of the Kama Sutta is that sensual desire, like any habitual sense pleasure, brings suffering. You have been enlightened, and your endless, demonic depravity has been restrained with the {Chains of Kama Tanha} whenever you activate this skill. The chains will wrap around your body and block your flaring sexual desires, the accumulated power of your demonic depravity will grant you incommensurable, fiery strength akin to a Demon of the Seven Narakas.

Through, the description alone was both awesome and also kind of funny in a way, to think my own lust, something I always held within me could now become a tremendous amount of power. I had mixed thoughts about this, but I was definitely not hating this.

Also it says I am on my path to Buddhahood? So there's not just one but many Buddhas, perhaps? I wonder what does it even means to become one? Is it the same as becoming a God? No, the cosmic scale would be definitely different.

Nonetheless, this seems much stronger than their original Skills, and the boost to all Stats is really nice between modes.

Then there's this.

While your body is wrapped on the {Chains of Kama Tanha}, your Health, Strength, Deftness, and Vitality will increase by 500% (+25% x Skill Level) with an additional percentage based on your Accumulated Lust, which will show as numbers that accumulate over time whenever you have depraved thoughts or you are hit physically, increasing up to an additional 500%. You will also take 50% more Damage from Attacks and your Health Regeneration Speed will decrease by 70%, but you will be able to unleash unique techniques within the {State of Restrained Flaring Lust: Kama Sutta}.

In this State of Body and Mind, your body will be covered by the {Demonic Flames of the Seven Narakas} that will burn through your foes Souls as you hit them with your physical body, dealing damage based on 300% (+25% x Skill Level) of your Strength Stat every 5 Seconds while burning their bodies and dealing damage based on 400% (+30% x Skill Level) of your Vitality Stat every 10 Seconds.

So it's a state where I get wrapped on those chains, they don't seem to inhibit my movements at all, and I also get to have some cool flames to burn foes' souls and bodies, amazing. The damage they deal every few seconds is immense too, my stats are already very high, so not many things will be able to withstand being burned for too long unless they have insane regeneration... well, most do, but it'll at least cancel out most foe's insane regeneration. Also apparently this can last on forever unless I receive damage or if I... don't think lustful things? It seems that even imagination or simply remembering my various passionate nights with all my queens would quickly fill me with power, that's really funny, yet powerful.

And then this, the "second phase" of this skill.

Level 1: [Break The Depraved Chains Of Fate] [Destiny Defying Step Towards Enlightenment] [Mountain Splitting Enlightened Resolve] [Eternal Love Aura Armor of Protection] Level 5: [One Step From Nirvana] [Heavenly Light Hammer of Harmony] [Wave of Healing Enlightened Love]

They appear to be upgraded versions of the Chaotic Mandala Arts and Succubus Queen Lust Arts, some of them even merging their powers and effects, and others even "purifying them", giving me a new repertoire of amazing techniques that'll get unlocked over time.

It seems that they unlock every 5 Levels, so I'll get more at Level 10, then 15, then 20, then 25, and lastly 30, pretty good, I wonder how strong the Level 30 Techniques could be though.

"I think I'm done with this..."

After having inspected the skill to my heart's content and know everything I need to know, I moved across the castle on top of Wall, reaching Eduard and Michaela, who were talking with Raito, Palami, Asure, Truhan, Celica, Kizuato, Goruden, Yukan, Jinsoku, and Meiji. "Looks like while I wasn't here, all of you became really good buddies, huh?" I wondered, giggling. "Truhan, have you met Surtr? I'll call him over."

"L-Lord Surtr?" wondered Truhan.

He was very excited to see him, especially because he was a valiant fiery warrior like him, and

a figure he admired and venerated as he had blessed him on our early days, which was also the reason he was able to evolve into a Flame Titan like he is now.

"Yes, ah, there he is!" I said. "Surtr! Come over here!"

"Huh?"

Surtr was carrying a huge plate with food he had gone to fetch from the kitchen.

At the same time, he was being accompanied by Flora, so it was convenient they were

together.

Flora, after all, is an Ancient Human like Eduard and Michaela, I'm sure she'll get happy to

know their true identities.
