Chapter 1127: A New Skill
I opened the grimoire, runes flowing out of it, flying into my soul, and imprinting their power into my own.
For a moment, I felt a new power surge from my soul, being born from it, and growing larger and larger.
I could sense the waves of the sea, the raging ocean, the animals of the deep ocean, and the many guardians it once had.
Sea Dragons.
Ocean Titans.
Was this vision made by the grimoire or something else?
They were looking at me with smiles, somehow expecting something out of me.
"Into you we entrust a small piece of our ancestral legacy."
"Free them from their endless nightmares."
"You're the only one that might be able to save the oceans now..."
They kept talking, but I didn't understand what they even meant!
What's going on right now?
I can't free myself from this illusion, or dream, or whatever it is!
"You, who has taken my Throne..."
A Titan with clear blue skin, a long white beard, and fish scales over his arms, legs, neck, and more glared at me with his emerald-colored eyes.
His bald head and muscular appearance gave him the look of a powerful grandpa, tremendous in might and appearance, and with a tattooed body resembling the waves of the ocean and the deep-sea monsters.
"I entrust on you my first and last request, as the Father of all Ocean Titans, Oceanus."
"Y-You're...? Wait, am I in the Titan Records?"
No, it can't be, there are Dragons here too!
So what is this place?
"Please, bring them the peace they deserve... And take upon you the fallen star. They might be the very key to finally save our world, which we lost to them."
His giant finger reached me, I couldn't escape or move away, it touched my forehead, as I felt a sudden wave of power, like a powerful tsunami washing me down.
SPLASH!
The cold water washed over my entire body, as I opened my eyes, finding myself resting over the bed like before.
I had split my consciousness to be inside my own Shadow Realm while my body still existed outside, but this...
It seems I was just sent outside for some reason?
Just what was that?!
I never thought an item that could give me a skill would trigger this weird vision.
Ding!
[You have used the [Aquarose Kingdom Mermen Themed Skill Grimoire (SS Grade)] x1!] [You learned the Divine Skill: [Oceanic Titan's Draconic Spirit Transformation: Lv1]!] A transformation Skill?!
I have so many already though, but I feel this one is a bit special.
[Oceanic Titan's Draconic Spirit Transformation: Lv1]
A powerful Divine Skill learned from the [Aquarose Kingdom Mermen Themed Skill Grimoire (SS Grade)] which has been further imbued with the Divinity Fragment of Oceanus, the King of the Ocean Titans, and the blessings of the ancient Sea Dragons.
Channel their combined divine essence and combine it with your Ki, Mana, and Ocean Essence to unleash their Spiritual, Divine Power at once, transforming your entire body into a fusion between the Ocean Titans and the Sea Dragons of ancient times. Based on Skill Level, the duration and transformation effects will vary greatly.
Once activated, you will summon the skill's spiritual divine manifestation, which you can choose between leaving as an Additional Aura, Imbue into your Body, or even Imbue into a Weapon or Armor instead. The effects will vary greatly depending in the target of the Skill's powers, but it will grant unique transformation and effects.
When Transformed, increases All Stats while being underwater by 500% (+5% x Skill Level), enhances the power of all Water-Type Spells, Skills, Divinities, and Spirits by 600% (+4% X Skill Level) and imbues every Physical or Magical Attack with Ocean Titan and Sea Dragon Spirits, which will grant special effects. Ocean Titan Spirits will grant an enhancement to Brute Power of 200% and the ability to Ignore 50% of the target's defenses. Sea Dragon Spirits will grant a boost to Attack Power and Magic Detonation of 200%, while draining 20% of damage dealt as Ocean Essence and Mana.
In this form, the seas will obey you even more than before, and if you possess an already related Divinity, the seas will always obey your commands no matter what, and will constantly shapeshift, change, and transform to fit your necessities. And by using Ocean Essence and Mana, you can share the bonuses and powers to allies, although only 50% (+0.5% x Skill Level) of them, although it will further shorten the duration time.
Additionally, you can learn new techniques with each Skill Level, whose power will increase by 500% (+20% x Skill Level) while being underwater, preferably the ocean, while also giving them the ability to ignore 30% of the foe's defenses.
Available Techniques:
Level 1: [Ocean Titan's Divine Palms] [Sea Dragon's Devastating Fangs] [Divine Oceanic Spirit
Blessing]
Level 3: ???
Wow, wow, wow, hold on a bit, this skill is much more amazing than I imagined!
Although the "always be underwater" thingy is annoying, its perfect for now!
Though, will I ever need the extra boost? I'm so strong right now...
...
Wait, well, maybe.
I mean, I still got almost killed by Sloth, so I have to rethink my cockiness a bit.
Maybe I am getting too ahead of myself just because I killed two Gods.
There are certainly a lot of overpowered monsters everywhere, I have to be careful and
cautious.
But not too paranoid either.
There was a time when I was much weaker, chased around, and often just kept running away.
I am no longer running away this time though, and that is not changing even if I realize I've
been being a bit reckless lately.
Anyways, time to sleep and train while in the Shadow Realm!
And so, the hours went by, and as I analyzed my new abilities and also existing skills, the next
morning arrived.
No anomalous changes yet, no attacks either, the King of the Depths remained silent.
But that alone was also unnerving and weird.
As we finished eating breakfast, I quickly prepared the groups.
Yes, I was going to divide this into two groups.
One was staying and protecting Aquarose, the other was coming with me to kill the monster in
question.
Not everyone liked that, but this was my method.
