Chapter 1382: Breakthrough and New Beginnings(13)

(A/N: Before starting the chapter, I want to add something to previous chapters. The ability to control gravity didnʼt automatically transfer to Laney, but she had to spend a lot of money to exchange it in reality. Sorry if you thought differently. I failed to add that.)

Laney read the details of [Bastion Ward] and nodded in appreciation since it complemented [Armored Gravity]. It was the skill that used the combination of gravity and metal to boost Laneyʼs power to a great extent.

The reason [Bastion Ward] complimented the skill had to do with its dynamic barrier form. Laney could manipulate the barrier formed around her into different shapes and at other places, depending on the situation.

[Bastion Ward] wasnʼt the best skill summoned by her, but she found it to be more to her liking than others. Sometimes, those kinds of skills were better than those with overpowering abilities. Since the situation was like that, an immediate decision was made, and Laney picked up the skill.

After selecting the skills of attacking and defensive types, it was time for Laney to move up the ladder on the counter. The next type of skill waiting for her was the movement type.

Laney immediately reached for the last shelf in the row and pulled out a new skill card.

Laney read the cardʼs details but didnʼt like them, so she immediately searched for another one, returning the former.

Time flew by, and Laney finally pulled out a skill she liked on her seventeenth attempt.

[Name: Graviton Propulsion

Type: Movement

Level: God

Cultivation Level: Early to Peak True God

Effect: Manipulates gravitational forces to achieve incredible speed and agility

Description: The user harnesses the fundamental essence of gravity to manipulate gravitational forces, enabling the user to achieve extraordinary speed and agility. This skill transforms the user into a master of gravitational propulsion, allowing them to traverse vast distances and swiftly evade adversaries.

The activation of the skill demands profound understanding and control over the element of gravity.

Price: Three hundred supreme Sacred stones.]

Laney read the details of the card with complete focus. As its name suggested, the skill allowed Laney to propel herself at top speed, manipulating the gravity around her.

Considering the applications of gravity, the skillʼs effects couldnʼt be considered top-notch or something rare, but one of the answers anyone would come up with when asked how to use gravity in movement.

What made the skill so special for Laney to love was its energy usage and precise control of gravity to move. The skill didnʼt demand too much energy, and at the same time, it didnʼt affect the center of gravity for other parts of the body.

Laney wanted to experience the control of gravity in that way, but she controlled herself since there were two more skills left for her to purchase.

Since Laney loved the skill, there was no question of trying to summon other skills. She then moved upward and reached for the last shelf in the second topmost row.

When he pulled her hand out, there was a card in it. Laney didnʼt have to keep trying to find a suitable skill that time, and she summoned one on her first try.

It was a supporting skill that further complimented [Armored Gravity] and also boosted her strength. Her decision speed for the skill was second only to [Bastion Ward].

Since she had received two skills complimenting [Armored Gravity], her strength was bound to explode once she mastered the skill. Laney couldnʼt help but imagine the scenes of that moment. But she immediately returned to reality since buying the skills from the store didnʼt mean that she would master them immediately.

Before going for the skill, Laney was confident that she wouldnʼt be able to master them during the test given by Aakesh to conquer a territory and become a King. She still purchased the skill since she was confident in her victory.

Since Laney had purchased skills for attack, defense, support, and movement, only one type was left to buy. She immediately reached to the last shelf on the top row and pulled out a skill card.

Laneyʼs fortune seemed to be great at that moment as the first skill she pulled out won her heart.

[Name: Singularity Conflux

Type: Combination (Support, Movement, and Attack)

Level: God

Cultivation Level: Early to Peak True God

Effect: Harnesses the gravitational spectrum to empower the user with enhanced abilities, swift movement, and a devastating gravitational strike against a single enemy in close combat.

Description: The skill uses the mastery of gravitational manipulation, fusing the versatile aspects of support, movement, and a devastating attack. It allows the user to harness the gravitational spectrum, empowering themselves to implement it in three ways.

1.) Singularity Resurgence: The user manipulates gravity to create a localized singularity around themselves. This singularity replenishes their energy, revitalizes their body, and mends minor wounds, providing a momentary burst of support to enhance their overall capabilities.

2.) Gravitational Glide: The user manipulates gravitational fields around them to glide smoothly and swiftly across the battlefield, evading attacks and positioning strategically. The gravitational shift allows for rapid changes in direction and graceful aerial movement.

3.) Single Strike: The user concentrates an immense amount of gravitational force into a single, devastating strike. When this strike connects with the adversary, it releases a shockwave of gravitational energy, crushing and immobilizing the target momentarily.

The activation of the skill demands profound understanding and control over the element of gravity. The energy required to seamlessly transition between aspects while managing energy usage might put a strain on the physical body of the user.

Price: One thousand five hundred supreme Sacred stones.]

Laney read the skillʼs details with her eyes and mouth wide open from astonishment. Her favorite skill was [Armored Gravity], but she now had a contender for the title.

Just the supporting aspect of the [Singularity Conflux] was more than enough to win her heart, but having three powerful effects embedded in a single skill made it even more desirable.

The decision to buy the skill was even more immediate than the same decision for [Bastion Ward]. With that, Laney had bought all five types of skills. But things hadnʼt ended since the experience session was still left.

Since only the experience session was left for Laney, she left the skill counter and walked toward the semi-pillar. The sheer number of customers in the line made it certain that Laneyʼs waiting time wouldnʼt be short.

Time flew by, and around an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Laney finally reached the semi-pillar with the [Singularuty Conflux] skill card in her hand.

Laney decided to start with that skill and placed its card in the respective compartment. The next moment, she found her consciousness in a body that looked like her, but she couldnʼt control it.

Since it wasnʼt the first time Laney was experiencing a skill, she was already aware of it and didnʼt feel uncomfortable.

At that moment, Laney stood in the middle of an ongoing war with powerful fighters from both sides. Since Laney had recently seen a lot of dreadful wars due to her trial, she didnʼt feel much, looking at the bloody scenes in front of her and staying calm.

Her consciousness simply waited for the body to activate the skills so she could see how it felt and how it would affect reality.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Laneyʼs consciousness was alert, so she immediately noticed the sound of something tearing through the air, with her being the target. As the arrows made of dangerous energy seemed to hit her, Laney suddenly slid past the shot with ease.

The same thing happened with the other two arrows, and Laney was unscathed. It wasnʼt much, but what was coming to her was the actual trouble. The next moment, the sky turned dark as numerous arrows covered it. At that moment, it seemed like Laney was at the center of the world, and every soul wanted to eliminate her.

Laneyʼs body fully activated the movement aspect of the skill, and her movement reached new heights. Not only that, but her body had also turned more agile.

Since the range of the skill only affected her, she couldnʼt affect the arrows coming at her. She kept dodging one after another while the enemies kept shooting arrows.

Finally, the number of shots crossed the dangerous mark and hit Laney. Her body immediately activated the supporting aspect of the skill, and a gray glow shrouded her.

It not only treated the wounds caused by the few arrows that struck her, but it also increased the speed with which she dodged them or changed the position of her body in different situations.

Laneyʼs consciousness felt the scene was too beautiful. It was as if she was watching a graceful dance.
