MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 486 The Deadliest Of Weak Spots

Deciding to deactivate the newly evolved skill for the meantime, Valyr closed his eyes for a bit before opening them, the crimson rings surrounding his irises earlier now gone. After that, he stood up and walked around for a bit, gazing at entirety of the secluded space the two of them were in as he took a couple of deep breaths.

”It wears off after some time,” said Jekyll all of a sudden, his words aimed towards Valyr. ”As long as you rest for a couple of minutes, youʼll be able to use the skill again no problem.”

”Anyways, what do you think of your first time using the skill?” Asking this question, Jekyll smiled.

”Incredibly disorientating,” Valyr said in response, his pace slowing down a bit. ”Of course, that was only for a while. After all, the evolution to my eyes came all of a sudden.”

”Though, if I were to find a word that would sum up what I really felt while using those eyes...” Valyr rubbed his chin for a bit. ”It would be the word... overwhelming.”

”Overwhelming, huh.” Mulling over the word Valyr gave him, Jekyll eventually nodded in agreement as he slightly smiled. ”I can definitely understand what you mean by that.”

”With [Gamblerʼs Discerning Eyes], though the hyperfocus ability does give you a greater amount of detail on what youʼre looking at, it would be more accurate to say that the ability just allows you to zoom in on what was already there,” said Jekyll, to which Valyr nodded in understanding.

”On the other hand, the evolution of that skill, the skill that I consider the true start of my legacy... now that operates in a different way.” At these words, Jekyllʼs expression became solemn. ”Not only does it allow you to zoom in on what was already there, it also gives you the ability to see beyond whatʼs already there.”

”It allows you to see things that are invisible to the naked eye, tiny connections between things that no normal person would ever think of looking at... the intangible.” Jekyll let out a faint sigh. ”It is through seeing the intangible can you discover the weak spots of things and beings more easily, even going so far as to discover their vital spots.”

”Speaking of weak spots and vital spots, I should remind you about something before I forget.” Hearing these words from Jekyll, Valyr stopped in his tracks and looked at him.

”Though youʼve evolved those eyes of yours to become the eyes of a hunter, it only becomes more useful the more often you use it,” Jekyll told Valyr. ”What I mean by that is... have you noticed how the knowhow youʼve accumulated while looking at the dummies didnʼt help you out that much when you began to look for the illusionʼs vital spot?”

”Yeah.” Valyr nodded, understanding what Jekyll was trying to say. ”In other words, I should familiarize my vision with more beings and items in order to make sure that something like that doesnʼt happen in the future, right?”

”Youʼve pretty much hit the mark.” Jekyll grinned. ”Of course, there are still times where youʼll be up against some creature that goes beyond mere familiarization, but familiarization would still help you out in the long run.”

”Also, note that there are generally hundreds to thousands of weak spots on beings and items, while the number of vital spots you might find would be one or two at most.” Seeing as theyʼve fulfilled their task within this secluded space, Jekyll made his way outside the space, urging Valyr to follow him.

”However, as Iʼve said earlier, there are still times where youʼre up against creatures that go beyond normal levels of understanding.” Making their way back to the stairway that would lead them back to the gambling den proper, Jekyll continued to talk about the nuances of the skill. ”In those cases, it wouldnʼt be surprising to find dozens, even hundreds of vital spots on them.”

”But... if you decide to dig through those vital spots and find the sole spot connecting all of them together, you would have stumbled across a spot that would spell certain death to the one fighting against you.”I think you should take a look at

”Of course, because it has that kind of effect on the creature, Iʼve decided to call it the fatal spot.” At these words, Jekyll briefly let out a snicker. ”Iʼll leave it up to you to see what kind of effects hitting these spots on your foes are like.”

”For now, letʼs just say that hitting them would make for some interesting situations.”

...

”And... weʼre here.” Standing in front of the stairway that would lead them back to the gambling den, Jekyll stopped in his tracks as he looked at Valyr with a proud smile. ”Just like how it took a while for you to inherit this part of my legacy, the next part of my legacy will only be available once youʼve comprehended an Intent of your own.”

”With that, this is where weʼll have to part ways.” Giving Valyr a nod filled with gratitude, Jekyll went ahead and began to make his way up the stairs. However, after taking a few steps, he stopped and looked back, only to see that Valyr hadnʼt moved at all.

”The sun is about to set, you know,” said Jekyll, a slight frown appearing on his face. ”Though I expected you to take longer to comprehend this part of my legacy, I wouldʼve still stopped you midway and asked you to come back the next day once the sun began to set.”

”Thatʼs not really a problem,” replied Valyr, playfully smiling. ”I donʼt really have any other place to be at the moment.”

”But, do you remember the answer I gave you earlier after I requested for you to change the method of obtaining your legacy?”

”The answer you gave me earlier...” Hearing those words, Jekyll furrowed his brows as he traced their conversation up to when they first arrived at the training ground.

”Donʼt tell me...” Finally realizing what Valyr meant by his words, the manʼs eyes slightly widened in surprise.

”How about it? Werenʼt you curious to see what level of strength Iʼve reached?” Letting out a faint chuckle, Valyr made his way back to the training ground, taunting Jekyll with a wave of his hands.

”You brat...” Slowly shaking his head, Jekyll let out a long sigh. Though, not long after, a wide grin adorned his face as he headed deeper into the training ground as well.

”I wonʼt hold back just because youʼre a Herald, you know.”

”Donʼt worry. I wasnʼt expecting you to.”
