Taking the numerous magic bags he had shoved into Mrazivý’s arms back, Marcus waited for her to pick out her own reward for the efforts she had put in.
“Hm there are only four?” Mrazivý said with a puzzled expression on her face as she looked at Daniela.
Though Daniela just shrugged her shoulders and said, “Those are all the ones that were in the locker. I do not know if there were more before, but it is likely that my brother gave some out to try and strengthen his forces. Anyway, just having four in itself is already incredibly rare.”
Nodding her head, Mrazivý understood that she had been getting a bit greedy thinking that she would be spoiled for choice in the unique skills orbs she could choose from.
She had thought that there would be a similar amount as what was stored within the castle’s vault in Borealia, which she knew was around two dozen. But truthfully there was quite a bit of difference in the power between the two kingdoms.
Still, having the option to pick one of four unique skill orbs was still am exceedingly rare chance for almost anyone, as obtaining even one unique skill orb was already well beyond the norm.
Looking over each one using her dragon eyes, Mrazivý was able to determine the effects of each of the skill orbs, which under normal circumstances would be unknown until they were learned.
However, very few things could hide their true nature from a dragon, an especially if they happened to be treasures..
‘Hm this one is not bad, but after my evolution it is not really necessary.’ Mrazivý thought as she put aside one of the unique skill orbs.
Though if most saw her disregard this unique skill, they would have thought she had a screw loose, since it was something called five senses amplification and would truly be useful for most.
However, after her evolution, her sense of smell, sight, taste, and hearing had already increased by a wide margin, and having senses that were too sensitive could actually be a detriment in certain situations.
Moving on to the next one, Mrazivý who was still in high spirits to have a chance to get another unique skill, froze up and the look on her face went pale for a moment.
She then threw the second unique skill back into the bag at a blinding speed wanting nothing to do with it.
Seeing this, Marcus tilted his head to the side in confusion, and asked, “Mraz, what was that skill? Was there something wrong with it?”
With a disgusted expression, Mrazivý shook her head and said, “I do not even want to think about that thing again. It could be the strongest unique skill in the world, but I would rather die than learn it.”
His curiosity piqued, Marcus swiftly grabbed the bag the unique skill was in and pulled it out.
Certainly, he could not look at all of its properties like Mrazivý had, but he could still at least find out its name.
Yet, as he did, he immediately understood why Mrazivý wanted nothing to do with this unique skill just from its name alone.
‘Unable to learn unique skill, Body of Sludge.’
Putting away the orb containing Body of Sludge, Marcus felt grateful that he could not even learn this unique skill due to his spiritual nature, which prevented him from learning skills of this sort, and was the same reason he was unable to learn Peerless Physique.
“Would you two please refrain from playing around with national treasures. You are not comparing toys in a store, but unique skills. I would ask that you show a little restraint.” Marek said, obviously displeased by the way Marcus and Mrazivý were treating such valuable and precious items.
Both of them then apologized for their conduct, having forgotten for a moment where they were and who they were with.
After that Mrazivý checked the next unique skill and let out a sigh of relief when she found that it was something normal.
Unlike the last one, this skill, which was called Sound Constitution, was quite useful, and Mrazivý would be more than happy to acquire it.
Though while it did not have any massively powerful effect like her Winter’s Grace, its passive abilities were good. Making the wielder of the skill unable to be affected by diseases and poisons, and giving a twenty percent bonus to the vitality stat.
In fact, this unique skill was of the same nature to Marcus’ Sound Mind, and the two were actually a part of a set of skills that negated dangerous effects while also boosting a single stat.
Though before Mrazivý committed to this skill, she looked at the next one and seeing what it had to offer she was conflicted between the two.
‘Hm this one is also good but can only be used once before a long cool down. Of course, its power is far greater, but the short duration is not as appealing.’
But in the end as good as Sound Constitution was, it did not really increase her offensive capabilities, but the other skill certainly would.
‘Would you like to learn the unique skill, Rapid Flash.’
‘Yes.’ Mrazivý responded to the promote given by the system.
Losing its luster, the golden orb that had once been an incredibly valuable item, slowly began to turn to dust as the unique skill sealed within was learned by Mrazivý.
Smiling brightly, she was quite happy to obtain this new power that would definitely help her in the future.
“So, what did you get?” Marcus asked now that Mrazivý had made her decision.
Looking towards Marcus and holding her left index finger up to her cheek and putting on an expression like she was thinking, Mrazivý said, “Oh, I am not sure if I should tell you. Maybe next time we have a practice match, you will find out what it can do.”
Mrazivý then smirked at Marcus mischievously, and he just shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.
He knew that Mrazivý wanted to really show off what she could do now that she had evolved, since before she had not been much of a match for Marcus.
‘Guess I should pick out some of the material from the mythic beasts.’ Marcus though now that Mrazivý had finished taking the unique skill that was her reward.
Digging through the four bags that contained parts from mythic grade beasts, Marcus unfortunately did not find anything that seemed to possess an affinity for the light or darkness elements like he had been hoping for.
Still, there were some good pieces, and in the end, he took the scales of a massive fish that lived deep in the ocean and boasted an almost impenetrable defense.
He figured he could make a shield for himself that would surpass even the one Thabon had made using these materials.
After that, the two of them placed the remaining magic bags that would be taken to Borealia into an adamantine safe that not even they could open.
“Well, now that the two of you have finished up what you have to do here, I suppose that you both will be heading back to Borealia soon?” Marek said to Marcus and Mrazivý.
However, before they could answer, Daniela said, “Actually I would ask the two of you to stay for a few more weeks. Just a few hours ago I received a communication from the mythic grade magical beast who is the guardian of our kingdom, and he wishes to meet with the both of you.”
