Chapter 264: Exploring a Shocking New Feature!

[A new form of energy is directly interfering with skills and abilities.]

[Contained. Isolated. Analyzing]

[This..!]

His home world's core continued to speak in its monotone voice as the cores of the other two worlds continued to speak with more emotions, all three rapidly analyzing this new form of energy given off by the defeat of the Infernals in this First Realm of Hell.

The Infernals existed in the Seven Realms of Hell, with the first one having the lowest levels of Infernals, the place where most of them are newly born.

When the various powers first faced the Infernals, they found to their surprise that the defeat of these beings would grant them boosts in their power, with beings that studied the Laws of different elements finding themselves gaining increased comprehension speed as they progressed much faster.

This same energy that many powerful powers in the universe had come across, Noah was finally coming in contact with it for the first time.

[Isolation and Analysis successful. New form of energy has been broken down and quantified, and will be displayed in the form of numbers under a new feature- Infernal Skill Point(s)]

What?!

Noah phased his mind out from the Infernals surrounding him that the Lich Lord of Abomination was taking care of as he focused more on the words of the planetary system, trying to fully understand exactly what they had come across.

[While increasing comprehension speed and power in others, it can be better utilized if it is directed and focused onto a few specific abilities and skills of the user. Hold on while a sufficient explanation is prepared.]

A few brief seconds passed as Noah activated his numerous mind-enhancing abilities, and he didn't wait long before a new blue screen appeared in front of his eyes.

> A unique essence found only in the Realms of Hell. The user is able to open up multiple paths of evolution for their skills and abilities through using Skill Points, and while working in conjunction with [Skill Combination], achieve a smooth enhancement of all abilities through sacrificing skills of equivalent level. Skill Trees of multiple abilities can be viewed and activated through the use of the Skill Points, and they can also be used to increase the proficiency of skills and abilities. Current number of Skill Points- 1.3

Noah's eyes read over the new feature multiple times as he could feel his heart pounding, his mind trying to understand this new concept more as he opened his panel and tested this one the skill he used most recently.

SAINT+ [Lich Lord of Abomination] (0/15) :: A skill that is unique in the universe, with its synthesis being something that only a single being can duplicate. It summons a Lich holding immense essence in its bones, a Lich that is proficient in poisons, healing and summoning deadly forces of death. Its current abilities include Summon Poison Totem, Summon Undead, Noxious Outburst, and Dereliction of the Saintly Poison Lord.

In front of the skill, a new counter that read 0/15 had appeared! Noah focused as he sent a command while watching the Infernal Skill Points that continued to increase in a decimal pace as the Lich Lord continued to kill the Infernals around them. The counter next to the > went to 0 as he put everything in the [Lich Lord of Abomination] skill.

SAINT+ [Lich Lord of Abomination] (1.6/15)- Two Skill Trees for evolution are possible once sufficient points and a base requirement of two equivalent level sacrificial skills are reached: >>Miasmatic Poison Lord- Leads the summon towards the path of a master of poison, additional abilities include Necrotic Touch, Venomguard, and Decaying Earth. >>Abhorred Lich Emperor- Leads the summon towards a path of a master of death, additional abilities include Undead Legion, Will of the Undead Emperor, and Delay Death

…!

Noah's mind became extremely active as he thought through this new feature that allowed for unbelievable actions!

To put it in simpler terms, these Infernal Skill Points could be used to enhance the level of power for each of his skills, and once they reached the highest required number, which in the case of SAINT+ skills is 15, he can choose to proceed with the evolution of the skill and by sacrificing two SAINT+ skills and open up the Skill Trees of two possible paths while also allowing the skill to reach the Void Rank. This was different from the usual Skill Combination that took two complementary skills of the same level and simply increased their rank.

In the case of the [Lich Lord of Abomination] skill, after it reached 15/15 Skill Points and he chose two Saint+ skills to sacrifice as the base, it would upgrade the skill and open up two possible directions- one which focused on strengthening the poison aspect, while another direction focused on improving the death aspect of the Lich Lord's abilities!

Each pathway provided additional abilities that could be unlocked by the Skill Points, and even strengthened to even more powerful levels depending on how many points he placed in one particular ability.

For example, if there was a [Raise Skeleton] ability that allowed one to raise 1 small weak skeleton after placing 1 Skill Point in it, placing another skill point would increase the power and allow you to summon 2 skeletons. Placing another Skill Point would allow you to summon 4 skeletons that would be much stronger than before...and this process just continued until the ability reached the cap of exactly how many Skill Points could be assigned to it.

The more that Noah put this new feature into simpler terms, the more he felt his heartbeat increasing as he came across too many stupendous ways to strengthen himself and his skills to insane degrees through using these Infernal Skill Points.

His attention went towards the Lich Lord of Abomination as he observed it to have grown a few inches bigger, its aura becoming slightly more powerful. This was the result of him placing the 1.6 Skill Points into the skill, the power of the lich becoming even stronger.

The number of > continued to increase in his stat panel as the Lich rained down poisonous death through his Summon Poisonous Totem and even more pain through the undead that were spreading out.

Noah felt a brilliant smile forming in his face as he so quickly wanted to obtain even more Skill Points from these Infernals so he could test the immense boost they would provide when they were focused in one particular direction.

OONG!

His body shone a reddish hue as he activated his Arch Demon Transformation and pulled out the medallion that was connected to the outside world and showed how many Infernals each person had killed. He cut off the signature of 'Crixus' as he put the medallion in the isolated Spiritual Land, not wanting to scare the watchers outside on how many Infernals he was about to kill. He would reconnect the signature every now and then as time passed so that he could keep his achievements high enough to be able to obtain his goal of the Absolute Space Technique once the events in the First Realm of Hell were over.

His gaze turned voracious as he looked for the two Saint Ranked Infernals that were throwing powerful attacks towards the Lich Lord of Abomination that was standing above the Bone Dragon's head as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke, his targets locked on!

    This is a useful feature as the skill combination needed 2 skills that complemented each other but the infernal points can evolve a skill by sacrificing 2 of the same rank wether they are complementary or not while keeping the original element of the skill, with his he can upgrade his lower ranked skills as well.

    I mean it's nice that he doesn't have to find compatible skills to upgrade them as long as he uses [infernal skill points] but isn't this worse than [skill combination]? He's specializing down one path for his skill while costing 2 equivalent skills to bring it to the next rank when not only does it only cost 1 skill for [skill combination], he also gets a new skill that is multifunctional and is compounded by every time you combine that skill with other already combined skills. wiseacre

    The only thing you could argue is that the infernal skill points can be used to strengthen the skill itself even before you upgrade it's rank, but idk how much that will really impact and what level of strengthening would balance out the gains of combining skills. reader

      One more thing is skill compatibility. The skills need to be compatible for skill combination but here I think any 2 equivalent rank skills can be sacrificed.

      nah it doesn't really matter since the combined feature still exist so he can choose between the 2 paths
      but when it come to adding points it's like 10 times better than the first
      you see he can make his skill 15 times stronger and use 2 skills he doesn't really need (and imma guess he doesn't need to max them to 100 too) and get the path he wants no need to get a skill based on luck
      the 2 skills combined together just focus on one skill and add from the other making the new skill like 1.5-2.0x stronger
      so yea it's way better than just combine 2 skills

      This option of enhancement is really good for old and low levelled skills that he doesn't use anymore or can't improve for a reason or another, i hope he will give it his all to improve as many low levelled skills as possible so that he can then use them as enhancement material or, if they are good enough, in battle.

      1.) where do you think the archery or halberd skill if he gets them goes? that's right, he gave them like some pass me down clothing to his subordinates. now if he needs to upgrade his skill he can just use them.

      2.) this shit is f#cking broken for low leveled but still useful skills,like some memory or mental skill. where tf would he find a void rank thought improving abilities if it's not from this new system? even the celestial is not that free to level them up to that degree

    I’m so tired of waiting for his fireball improvement, and finally the time has come. I think an the beginning an F rank skill will consume like 0.01 SP gradually increasing to 15 as we see now. This also means he can upgrade all of his utility skills

    wait hold on, this just doing the same shit he'd been doing with [Combination] skill, but now instead of one skill + one skill, now changed to original skill, added with 2 same-tiered skills (one more than usual) and Infernal Skill Points (SP)

    with on-the-fly way author been making the skills up, who can't be sure that MC won't get the exact two choices of outcome when [Combination]-ing the original Lich Lord of Abomination with one skill that gonna strengthen its poison and other skill that gonna strengthen its dead pathway?? the only advantage of the SP is that it can facilitate the upgrade by dumping two useless skills + SP to upgrade one good skill, but MC had always hoarding good skills, if he's not careful, this shit gonna clip his skills' growth instead of helping

    my conclusion is, is he really need this ability now? he's still a little Transcendent, i mean the more skills he hoard rn, the more options he gonna get the higher he goes, he won't be able to find a lot of it again later yk. this SP thingy gonna absorbs so many "useless" skills now that he probably could combine them later into a good ones when he's stronger with broader options

      The medallion shows the points of the Infernals you killed. When you cut the connection it stops showing it, and when you reactivate it will only continue to count from when you isolated it.
