Chapter 172: Unique Ways To Learn Techniques
Having gotten a variety of new Skills with different elements, I realized that through the power of Skills, I was able to imitate other attributes. However, I couldn't warp nor mold them to my liking like magic can do. Meaning that I would have to get something else to gain true magic of other elements.
My obvious guess is that through more Mana Cores. I already got two of them, so another one wouldn't be so bad. It would be quite obvious to guess indeed.
But how do I get more? I got another through a special evolution, so perhaps I need to be blessed by a God of Fire? Or a God of Wind? I mean, Fafnir was kind of that...
Though I wonder how does it work for other people, how do they get more affinities? That old man seemed very knowledgeable, I should have asked him this stuff.
Well, I can do it today I suppose.
As I showed off my Skills to everyone, I noticed how they grew surprised and amazed before my amazing power!
Yes, look at this!
I quickly conjured a spear coated in bright light. I was able to somehow enhance the weapons I ate and made into Skills by giving them more mana at the moment of summoning. Although I can only conjure one of them at the same time, it was pretty strong.
I gave it to Benladann to try it out, as she grabbed the spear of light blessed by an Aesir descendant, as she started to use it, throwing piercing attacks into the open gates that led to the garden in front of the first floor, which resembled an immense hall.
"Woah, this spear is so light, and it also shines so brightly that- Eh?!
SLASH!
BOOOOOM!
A sudden slash from the spear and some of her mana made the spear release a blast of light, resembling a beam of pure yellow-gold light that crossed the sky.
I almost dropped my jaw as I glanced with awe ad surprise at the scene before me...
"Amazing, so my spear can do that? Wait... Did you use a Skill?" I asked.
"Eh? No, the ray of the light kind came out of it," said Benladann.
"Interesting. Perhaps by using weapons I summon, you're able to share certain skills of my repertoire which can be used alongside it... For example, you just used the Piercing Light Skill," I said.
"Oooh... Amazing!" said Benladann.
"Now, let's try this one, try using it!" I said as I told Benladann to use certain types of techniques with my Spear. I had my Spear Technique Skill at a fairly high level, but Benladann completely lacked it.
She used it perfectly, in fact, not only rays of piercing light came from the spear but also Photon Bullets and my powerful Spear Techniques such as Triple Thrust, Piercing Slash, and more.
Benladann ended a bit tired, but she seemed enlightened.
"Woah... I never thought I would get so good at the spear!"
I checked Benladann's status, as I saw something truly baffling, in this little time, she suddenly learned Spear Technique as an Ability!
Surely, this must be because of her amazing talent as the genius that she is! Right?
Or is it otherwise?!
"Incredible, it seems that you learned Spear Technique as an Ability," I said.
"Really?! Amazing! It's so nice you can see such info that I cannot really see, Drake!" said Benladann.
"Yeah, it is part of my power," I said. I have partially told everyone here that I can see info of people, even abilities they don't even know they might have, but not about the whole game-like system because anyone here would most likely not even know what I mean if I try to explain it anyways. People don't know about video games here, technology is banned so I doubt they know about computers or games.
I quickly explained to everyone what had transpired with Benladann, as everyone seemed surprised.
"This means that if we wield stuff you can summon, we can use some of the skills related to it and learn them? But Benladann didn't learn how to make rays of light," said Draugann.
"There might be some limitations... But this s actually quite useful, I could give the kids the Muspelheim shield and tell them to use shield techniques, and then they will learn the ability instantly, and so on... Also, it seems that not only the basic techniques are memorized, right?" I asked.
"Yeah, it is kind of weird, but I suddenly learned a bunch of techniques..." said Benladann.
This means that they don't just learn the first and shitty technique there is, but they learn all the ones I have, or perhaps an amount of all the ones I have learned...
"With this, we could pack everyone with basic techniques to fight with your favorite weapons and armor, while also giving you basic self-defense without the necessity for magic spells," I said.
"That sounds nice, papa!" said Flayr.
"Hm, we can learn techniques faster... Because it is hard..." sighed Noirenn.
"That would be nice indeed."
"Yeah!"
"I want to fight! Fight with weapons!"
"Dragon, will you teach us?"
The little kids seemed eager for some violence, and as their good dragon father, I had to oblige to their request!
"Alright, let's get to it!"
I ended spending the majority of the morning with the kids and well, everyone else.
Everyone ended learning Shield Technique, Blade Technique, Spear Technique, and even Armor Technique! However, giving them the cursed armor was a bit tricky, but as long as it was a short amount of time, it was fine.
After all of that ended, we decided to go back to the village down below, although we got everything we wanted food and item-wise, I still wanted to delve into the dungeon and know more about the rest of the city inside of the walls, I was sure that they would sell even better stuff there.
For today, I decided to bring Draugann who really wanted to come, while leaving Gaston's family here and only bringing Gaston. Aside from them, I decided to bring the first batch of kids, Flayr, Noirenn, and Hansel with us.
