I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 366 - Verification of Integrated Skills

Editor Makoto

My memory skills were outrageous. I guess this is what they call consolidation.

I acquired several Lord Weapon Combat Skills and Lord Tactical Skills. However, the only difference between it and the Lord Swordsmanship Technique and Lord Swordsmanship that I originally possessed would be the word “base” attached to it.

I asked Alistair to analyze it as well, and it appeared that the lord arts ? base and the lord technique ? base were apparently a skill that’s upward compatible compared to the original lord arts and lord techniques.

The sword arts is a skill that comprised all sword-based weapons, such as dagger arts and sword arts, but the same is true for the lord arts ? base. That means if you had a lord archery ? base, you could use short archery, long archery, crossbow archery, and any other archery.

However, its efficacy seems to be reduced by half. It’s said that the Lord Swordsmanship Technique ? base is only half as effective as the Lord Swordsmanship Technique at its highest level. So it’s multipurpose, but not very effective…… That being said, it’s nice to see skills I don’t regularly use put together in one place.

“Master, you can analyze your skills, but what about whether you can utilize them or not?”

『Oops, that’s right…… wait a minute.』

I tried to remind myself how to set my memory skills as I did before. I could still set fire magic with no issues. Also, there was no particular change in my magic skills, with none reduced or increased by the refurbishment.

『—OK, seems like there is no problem in using it.』

When I cast the torch magic without chanting, a small light floated in front of me. It seems like for magic, at the very least, it will be pretty much the same as before refurbishment.

“If you’re okay with using that skill, let’s analyze the other skills.”

『You’re right.』

Alistair sometimes gave skills to weapons, and because she had information on divine swords, she was well versed with ancient and modern skills, which helps a lot right now.

The next skill is physical manipulation. This is apparently a skill that integrated physical enhancement or manipulation skills such as herculean strength, instantaneous movement, and evasion.

Omnidirectional Perception, Omnipresence Perception, and Covert Concealment is the type of thing that integrated all similar skills as well. However, as Alistair told me, it was a skill that was too powerful and very difficult to master.

In fact, I’ve tried using Omnipresence Perception before… I was supposed to have only activated my magic perception, but my electromagnetic perception and airflow vision were activated simultaneously. Then, all sorts of extraneous information were displayed in front of me, making it tough to use.

This inconvenience could prove fatal if I suddenly received a lot of extra information during a battle and distracted myself. I think I need to think of a countermeasure for it sooner rather than later.

“How is it?”

『Looks like it’s going to take a while of practice to handle it with precision.』

“It’s just as I thought. After all, those are skills that could only be learned by a master-level person who trained for many years. There’s no way you were going to get it and use it right away.”

『Even if that was the case, I have to be able to use it. They’re all essential skills in combat.』

My skills have indeed grown, but there was a possibility that my combat strength would decline for the time being. It’s a pretty serious situation.

“I think it’s quite difficult to use. For example, right now, you can use herculean strength and instantaneous movement. However, if you want to use it unconsciously, you must first reach a high level. However, if we tried to compensate for those effects with physical manipulation methods, more subtle use would be required.”

『So that’s how it is.』

“If you make a mistake in boosting the power output when you use instantaneous movement, it could send you flying. If you make the mistake of using the wrong output of herculean strength when you hit your opponent, you could end up shattering your own arm along with your opponent.”

『I thought the change from a specialized skill to a higher level all-purpose skill would make it harder to handle, but not so much.』

“Just make sure you know what you’re doing before you use it.”

『Yeah, I will do that.』

The next thing to try is the Lord Intimidation skill. Apparently, this is a skill possessed by dragons and other high-level magical beasts. It’s a high-level skill of intimidation and fear, and it’s quite powerful.

It turned out that the intimidation that I emitted increased abnormally. I didn’t mean to intimidate her, but Alistair’s face contorted. After all, it was not possible to perform precise manipulation. Rather, in this situation, the frantic Fran was impressive.

Even if this Lord Intimidation skill was used as lightly as the former fear and intimidation, it could cause ordinary people and others around me to flap and faint. In the end, I guess that means I need to train myself to use it.

Magic resistance is an integration of resistance skills to magic, such as flame resistance, thunder resistance, and storm resistance. This is, well, is it fine if I think that it has got stronger?

I also had good technical skills. Although the painting and singing skill that I had before disappeared, the only skills remaining are Demolition: LvMax, Blacksmith: LvMax, Throwing: Lv5, Cooking: LvMax, Trap Release: Lv6, Trap Creation: Lv5

All the skills that I wanted remain. Could it be that my unconscious mind was at work in the choice of which skills to stay and to discarded, like the mad demonization skill? I’m especially glad the cooking skill is still here. I’m sure Fran will be deeply disappointed without it.

There was no change in the arts and science skills section. However, the magic ability skill section and special ability skill section had changed dramatically after the refurbishment. There were a lot of skills that I’m unfamiliar with.

『Flame Operation: Lv1, Water Operation: Lv2, Soil Operation: Lv1, Poisoning Operation: Lv1, Wind Operation: Lv3……』

“Hmm. Those are also skills I’ve never heard of. Some unique skills manipulated the elements, such as Flame Principle and Water Principle, but… Maybe it’s an upward compatible skill of those advanced skills, just like the lord arts ? base. It must be the result of the integration of so many skills.”

I then asked her what I was most curious about.

『Aerial Jump is gone. Has it been merged into one of these?』

I can’t seem to find the name of a particularly well-used skill, Aerial Jump. This considerably limits my scope of combat.

“Hmm, isn’t it possible to manipulate air?”

“Manipulate air…” I’ll give it a quick try.

Right then, I had the sensation of a foothold being created in front of me. Was that a wind-based skill? I didn’t even realize it. Unfortunately, there’s a problem. Doing so had consumed more than twice as much magic as it had in the past. Moreover, the foothold collapsed immediately.The downside of being a high-level skill seems to be here as well.

The rest of the new skills are Kill Master, Strengthen Senses, and Strengthen Body. Well, at the end of the day, these skills are also higher-level skills that were integrated with various skills.

Kill Master is a higher skill of killer skill system such as Goblin Killer and other killer-based skills. The damage efficiency to certain races was reduced, but it is a powerful skill that always activated and increased a small portion in attack power no matter what kind of enemy you are fighting.

Sensory Enhancement is a sensory enhancement system that included improved vision and acute sense of smell. Strengthen Body enhancement is an integrated physical enhancement skill, such as hair or fur enhancement, and shell or crust enhancement. It was actually probably the most useful skill I obtained this time, since just having it in my possession would strengthen my entire body.

The other thing to remember would be the Blessing of the God of Chaos and the God of Wisdom that I somehow received. Two blessings from the gods at once…… Well, I can understand the protection from the God of Chaos, because I seem to belong to the goddess.

The effect was high resistance to the power of chaos. Having said that, the definition was unusual and rough. What’s the power of chaos? Is there a technique like chaos magic? However, Alistair did not know about the magic skill called Chaos Magic either. This skill became more and more mysterious.

I don’t know how the other blessing, the Blessing of the God of Wisdom was included either. Maybe it was thanks to the announcer…… However, it seems that skills such as magic and other skills were easy to increase in proficiency. Hence, there was a possibility that the level of magic could be increased faster in the future. This one was an unquestionably gratifying blessing. Well, it didn’t mean that I don’t need the protection of the God of Chaos, right? Really! So, please don’t get angry.

But the whole thing has been consolidated, and unnecessary skills have been erased. To say it was refreshing was an understatement, but it was also slightly saddening. After all, we’ve been working hard to get them.

I was happy with the consolidation of my skills, but Alistair was groaning at me with a difficult look on his face.

“I don’t know if I can say I’ve succeeded……”
