Chapter 167: The Brotherhood that Denies All Kinship?
Translator: 549690339
Because it wasn’t a major Racial Evolution, the time Alpha took to evolve wasn’t as long as when it first evolved into the Wilting Dragon Lord. Soon, the Evolution Light began to gradually dissipate.
“So, the acquisition of Lord-level super skills is indeed random, right?”
Looking at the gradually clarifying figure of Alpha, Bai Qi sighed with a bit of regret.
Theoretically speaking, Lord-level creatures have a chance of obtaining a super skill at each minor evolutionary stage. However, this is just a theory. Most of them only have one such opportunity.
Previously, when Alpha evolved directly into a Mid-Level Lord, it only acquired ‘Withering Breath’. But considering the attribute of this power, Bai Qi didn’t mind much.
But now, after evolving into a High-Grade Lord and still not gaining any super skill, Bai Qi inevitably felt a sense of regret.
Well, he planned to exchange for some Mythical Materials at the Association after completing the intensive training. He was sure to gain some super skills then.
If he couldn’t understand it on his own, couldn’t he just forcefully add some extra stuff to it?
Just then, a complex piece of information suddenly appeared in Bai Qi’s mind. He read over it carefully and then began to laugh loudly.
Awoo?
(Has this human gone crazy?)
“Without thinking, it must be that Alpha has gained a super skill.”
Woof Woof Woof!
(Yet another super skill?! How are we supposed to fight now!)
“Not every day is about battling and killing; we are technical personnel. Come, let’s go and choose some melee weapon data.”
[Skill Name]: Sword Blade Storm
[Skill Level]: Super
[Skill Description]: A Metal and Wind skill, invokes an innumerable amount of sword blades. Using a strong wind to set them in rotation around the user’s body. It inflicts damage on surrounding enemies. During this skill, the user gains damage resistance effects.
Holy smokes, he actually got another super skill!
Looking at the description of the Sword Blade Storm skill, Bai Qi involuntarily wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Although the skill’s name reminded him of a certain red-skinned, husky brute, that didn’t stop Bai Qi from being pleased about his luck, causing him to feel a sense of accomplishment.
Indeed, which boy wouldn’t dream of holding a sharp sword and sweeping across the world?
Finally, the Evolution Light surrounding Alpha completely dissipated. The Silver Egg turned into a beam of light and merged into Alpha’s body. A never- before-seen, fierce aura radiated from Alpha’s body. Bai Qi even felt a slight prickling sensation on his skin.
Is this what they call ‘sword aura’?
Bai Qi tipped his head thoughtfully and made a self-deprecating comment.
No way, thisisn’tsomefantasy-land. This was probably Alpha’ s Wind Wound passive ability.
“Alpha, how do you feel?” he asked.
Crackling noises.
(Good, there’s a new power in my body. My Control Object ability seems to have gotten stronger.)
As he spoke, Alpha spread out his palm. A gust of wind blew and the Withering Sword and Gravity Sword flew out from behind him. Under Alpha’s control, they made various high difficulty and agile movements.
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded satisfactorily. Initially, Alpha only manipulated objects for brief periods of flight through the Control Object Rune. With Gravity Amplification, he reduced the effect of gravity. Now with wind abilities, his speed had obviously improved.
“Let’s go test your new skill.”
Bai Qi and Alpha returned to the battle room. He had Schuck use the Etherium Liquid Gold to form several training dummies.
In any case, Etherium Liquid Gold had become a part of the Husky. As long as they had enough energy, they could always recover it. It was the best tool for testing skills.
Awoo…
(Suddenly I feel a bit panicked. It seems like I won’t have enough time to whack this skull.)
Seeing Schuck obediently making training dummies, Beta surreptitiously glanced at Alpha and suddenly slumped.
“Theoretically speaking, if both our levels are lower, we will indeed not be Alpha’s opponents.”
Schuck lightly added, “However, we still have a pretty significant potential for improvement. You should try to strengthen the primary consciousness.”
Awoo?
(Why me, can’t you do it?)
“I haven’t fully developed the Etherium Liquid Gold’s characteristics. Apart from further improving the strength of the Mimicry weapon, there won’t be any significant improvement for a while, so it’s up to you.”
Hearing Schuck’s words, Beta became excited, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
Humans improved their Spirit Power using this method. I’m so smart; I can definitely do it too!
Zzz…
Seeing Beta suddenly fall asleep, Schuck shook his head helplessly. After finishing the training dummies, he silently turned on the camera system, firmly focusing on Alpha.
“Alpha, try out Wind Wound first.”
Alpha nodded, walked into the middle of several metal walls, and gradually released his suppression of Wind Wound.
Even though Wind Wound was a passive skill, like the dragon’s might, it could be actively suppressed to control its effect.
Faint scratches immediately appeared on the metal walls, but due to the properties of Etherium Liquid Gold, these scratches were quickly healed.
After all, if it could withstand Saber-toothed Tiger’s Wind Blade, such a petite damage from Etherium Liquid Gold was nothing to worry about.
Looking at this, it seemed to be able to cause invisible cutting damage to surrounding enemies. It was indeed a good grass-cutting skill.
“Alpha, turn up the effect to the max!”
Alpha nodded, completely letting go of the restriction. Suddenly, a whirlwind was blowing inside the Secret Space. The Etherium Liquid Gold walls could no longer keep up with the damage from Wind Wound, and the scratches increased more and more.
This skill, it just didn’t want to have any friends!
Looking at the metallic walls that seemed to have been slashed with thousands of blades, Bai Qi smacked his lips.
If this skill was used in a battle, not to mention defeating enemies, allies would be hurt first. It was just like Gamma’s Deadly Poison Aura, hurting a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred allies.
Well, it seemed that Gamma had some resistance to cutting, and Alpha wasn’t afraid of the Deadly Poison Aura. These two could make a good team.
An association of close relatives?
“Alright, enough for now. Let’s check out your Super Skill!”
Bai Qi roughly figured out the effect of Wind Wound, and then with a full heart, he prepared to appreciate the effect of the Super Skill.
Looking at the skill description, Sword Storm was similar to Wind Wound. But after all, Sword Storm was a Super Skill, and it also had two attributes, so it surely had some special features.
Upon receiving Bai Qi’s command, Alpha ceased Wind Wound. One by one, bones continuously sprouted and transformed from his spine, gradually turning into arrays of blade swords.
These swords only retained their bodies and had no handles. You could vaguely see shimmering golden light streaming through the crystal body of the sword, already revealing its sharpness even without trying it out.
“Schuck, get a larger target.”
Seeing more and more blades gathering around Alpha, Bai Qi immediately ordered Schuck to enlarge the target. Schuck nodded and a metal statue of a Saber-toothed Tiger, accurately recreated to scale, appeared in front of Alpha.
“Alpha, go for it!”
Crack crack!
(Sword Storm!)
Alpha nodded. A golden light immediately appeared on his crystal bones. At the same time, the surrounding blades started to rotate like a hurricane, instantly grinding the repairing metal walls from the wound marks left by Wind Wound into pieces.
Without having any direct contact, it already showed such a strong effect. The base destruction force of Sword Storm was even stronger than Withering Breath!
However, the damage from these blades seemed to be not only directed externally. There were clanging noises transmitting from Alpha’s body, but all of them were blocked by the Overlord effect.
So the Overlord effect wasn’t there to block other people’s attacks, it was there to protect oneself.
A Beast Control version of Seven-injury Fist indeed!
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, and he excitedly looked over at the Saber-toothed Tiger statue not far away.
In order to test the power of Sword Storm to the maximum extent, Schuck didn’t disconnect himself from the Saber-toothed Tiger statue. The self-repair speed of Etherium Liquid Gold was different from the separated metal walls.
And from a certain perspective, it was also considered a battle between the twin pets.
Finally, Alpha’s Sword Storm reached a peak speed. Alpha stepped forward and quickly ran towards the Saber-toothed Tiger statue.
With Alpha closing in, deep-to-the-bone scratches immediately appeared on the Saber-toothed Tiger statue. Some parts were even directly cut off by swords and turned immediately into fragments.
But with Schuck’s energy guidance, these damaged parts were quickly repaired and even became tougher.
However, with Alpha’s continuous approach, Schuck’s repair speed visibly dropped, and the Saber-toothed Tiger statue was gradually destroyed until it was completely demolished.
Looking at the devastated battle room, Bai Qi didn’t feel the slightest pity; instead, he giggled.
With such a powerful destructive skill, if he had to fight the Saber-toothed Tiger now, perhaps the fight wouldn’t need to be so strenuous?
Moreover, there was still room for development for this Sword Storm…
“Alpha, can you include the Withering Sword and Gravity Sword into Sword Storm?”
Crack crack.
(Sure, they are just rotating around anyhow, any swords will do.)
“Is that so…”
Bai Qi grinned upon hearing this. Adding the Withering and Gravity Swords into a bunch of metal swords would make it even harder to deal with. If he could add some other special features to the metal swords, it would be even stronger.
Things like bleeding, blindness, dizziness, anything goes.
At this thought, Bai Qi had a sudden epiphany and told Alpha about it. Alpha, being a practical character, immediately carved out dozens of swords proficiently, carving some runes onto them, then controlled these swords to float behind him along with the Withering and Gravity Sword.
Watching the revolving blades encircling around the back of Alpha’s head, coupled with the Withering and Gravity Swords floating like wings on Alpha’s shoulders, he looked like a giant sword angel. The combination with his skeletal body created a weird and discordant beauty.
Let’s not start about whether it could fight or not, this look was surely going to upstage everyone!
