Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

I was amazed by what he just mentioned. Eagerly, I looked at each book of the five and used the observation skill for the first time.

"Strength auxiliary skill book:

"Penta auxiliary skill book:

"Stun auxiliary skill book:

Stun effect can be stacked up to 20 times. Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute. Mastery: 0/10,000"

They were really godly skills. Each one of these had its own advantage. I looked at Shin and asked:

"There are five skill books and there are only two of us here. How will we divide these five awesome skill books?"

"You misunderstood my intentions. We won't be alone forever. This Defense auxiliary skill book suits the Defenders class best.

We should not use it and keep it for our future tank. That leaves only four of them. I will leave you to choose first."

I looked at him angrily. Although his words made sense, I would better use this skill book for myself. He kept standing there motionless and didn't change his mind at all.

This stubborn cool swordsman is really stingy sometimes. I looked at the other four auxiliary skill books.

What really suited me was Strength, Cooldown, and Penta auxiliary skills. I could only choose two out of three. That cool swordsman I hated so much.

If we divided the original five books then I could have just chosen these three. After a long time of contemplation I decided and said:

"I will choose a Strength auxiliary skill book and a Penta auxiliary skill book."

"These two really suit your aggressive nature. Ok, I will take the other two then."

I rapidly took the two skill books and learned them. I felt two warm waves of energy throughout my body. It was an awesome feeling.

Shin wasn't slower than me. After we both finished, that left us with four skill books. Two CC skill books and two AOE skill books lied there quietly on the ground.

Shin gestured to me to observe them. I didn't need his permission, this rock headed cool swordsman.

"Mental Block skill book:contemporary romance

Use it to learn Mental Block skill. It causes mental shock waves in area 5 m*5 m around the player.

Any player inside this zone had his skills cooldown increase by three folds. If the target was a magician class then it prevents him from using any skill in this skill duration.

Duration: 5 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Mastery: 0/10,000"

"Gravity skill book:

Use it to learn Gravity skill. It increases the gravity in area 10 m*10 m around the player. Any player inside this zone has his Speed and Attack Speed decrease by four-folds.

If the target was a thief class or assassin class then cancels his stealth in this skill duration. Duration: 5 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Mastery: 0/10,000"

They didn't have that godly skill of that player I met before. I still feel the fear lingering in me every time I remembered him and his silence skill. Shin noticed my disappointment and he laughed.

"Do you think CC skill books are like rain from the sky? Even that mysterious stall only had these two skill books. These two skills aren't bad.

One is lethal to magician classes and the other is lethal to thieves and assassins. I believe these skills are very important.

They are on the same level as that guy's CC skill. Now tell me which one will you choose? Or should I choose first?"

Even if I wasn't happy with them I wouldn't let this irritating cool swordsman chose first. I looked again at these two skill books.

One would turn me to all magician killers and the other would turn me to thieves and assassins' most hated enemy.

For me, I wouldn't like to be a magician killer. First of all, I was one myself before. Although this skill appeared strong, I already knew all the weaknesses of this class.

It won't add anything to me. By contrast, what I always feared was these nasty stealth classes. Thieves and assassins were the natural enemies of magicians.

I didn't have any good strategy to safeguard against them. So the second skill book suited me better.

"I will choose the Gravity skill book."

"Then I will be those magician villains."

He said it with a big laugh. Did he guess my true identity? I didn't know the answer, but his attitude was weird.

What was left was the last group of two AOE skills. I was nervous by my inner thoughts so I checked them at once.

I didn't wait for his permission, or to be precise, I didn't want his permission.

"Tempest of lightning skill book:

For spearman class only. It Needs spear. Use it to learn the Tempest of lightning skill. It creates a tempest of lightning in area 5 m*5 m around the player.

Any player inside this zone has his Speed and Attack Speed decrease by two folds. It causes personal damage equal to 200% of the spear attack bonus stat every second.

Any target hit by it five times had an extra stun effect for 1 second after the end of the skill. Any target hit by it 10 times had an extra stun effect for 3 seconds after the end of the skill.

Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 20 minutes. Mastery: 0/10,000"

"Flood Poison skill book:

For swordsman class only. I need a sword. Use it to learn Flood Poison skill. It creates a flood of poison in area 10 m*10 m around the player.

Any player inside this zone has his Attack and defense decrease by two folds. It causes personal damage equal to 200% of the sword attack bonus stat every second.

Any target hit by it two times had an extra poison effect for 1 second after the end of the skill. Any target hit by it 5 times had an extra poison effect for 3 seconds after the end of the skill.

Any target hit by it 10 times had an extra poison effect for 10 seconds after the end of the skill Duration: 10 seconds.

The extra poison effect causes the target to lose 5% of his total HP every second. Cooldown: 30 minutes. Mastery: 0/10,000"

These two skills were limited to certain classes. I loved that poison effect, but I couldn't use that skill. I hope I can get a poisonous skill like this in the future.

I didn't need to say anything to Shin as I took my skill book and learned it. Shin did the same when he said:

"Your skill is very good, especially it adds to your gravity skill. You can now make combination skills and set your pattern."

"What do you mean?"

"In Destiny game, players always tend to create their combined skills and set their skill pattern.

Combination skills refers to your skills that either help each other in extending their special effect or to augment each other's effect.

Set skill pattern, which we usually refer to by SSP, means that you determine the order in which you use your skills so they can cause the greatest damage possible to your targets."

"Why should I make this SSP?"

"Because it will be a habit to you. When you get used to a certain set of skills, you can use SSP as a reflex when you get attacked by any enemy.

You can consider it as your personal guard against sudden attacks. Believe me, it's really helpful."

Although I didn't fully understand his meaning, I decided to go by his advice. I trust my fighting instinct and never doubted my reaction speed.

But in any case, adding another protection means wouldn't harm me. I needed to think hard about my skills.

Now I have my original three skills in addition to the new four skills that I could use in fighting. That meant I had seven skills now.

When I thought about them I became confused so I suggested:

"I can't really judge any skill from their description.

I need to use them first in battles so I can feel their effects and pros and cons then I can decide my SSP. What do you think?"

"I totally agree with you. You don't have enough knowledge or experience so it's normal for you to be confused. Let's find one of these Elite monsters you spotted before and use it as our training target."

"Good. There was one Elite monster near our location. I hope it didn't move from its location."

"Don't worry, monsters below Field Boss grade monsters always stick to their places."

We then moved away from our previous location under my guide. I was sure in my memory, so I walked fast towards the location of this monster.

It took us nearly a quarter of an hour to reach the monster successfully. The monster was there, but it wasn't alone. In front of this monster, we discovered a five-player team trying to kill this monster.

I yelled angrily at them:

"You stop what you are doing right now. Do you plan to steal my training bag?"
