Omni-Mastery

[ You have managed to attain true mastery over 'Swift Steps'! ]

[ 'Hurricane Steps' (Unique) has been upgraded to 'Hurricane Steps' (Epic)! ]

'That was fast…'

Considering the fact that I had already mastered the technicalities of 'Swift Steps' to its maximum with only the actual wind element supply and application missing, it only took me one day to finish the second task planned in my list.

The great surprise was actually how powerful 'Hurricane Steps' is, using two major speed boosting elements like lightning & wind in harmony produced a very great result.

Finally, the hidden ability that came when circulating my elements according to the 'Hurricane' elemental art alongside performing 'Hurricane Steps' allowed my speed to almost double when compared to me only using 'Lightning Steps'...

At this point, my speed had already surpassed 2 Mach! And it was getting closer to 3 Mach, of course it wouldn't be that easy to increase it with Agility being capped or the newly obtained 'Hurricane Steps' lv.1 within limited time, but this result was already considered great!

With only 1 task left to be done and five days left before I head out, I headed back to sleep as it was already late at night, in preparation to finish the last task as fast as possible to take the rest of the days as a chance to laze in bed!

'Let's start with…'

Back at the plains again in the next day, I was making my final choices at where to approach the matter of fusing the 'Wind' concept into my weapon arts…

'I won't lose anything so…'

[ Activating 'Transformation'... ]

[ 'Lightning Cloud' has adapted the (Longsword) form. ]

Holding the 'Lightning cloud' longsword, I decided to try out my hunch first, after all, it won't be too late to theorize a technique relying on 'Lightning Style, Sword streaking through the sky' or 'Thunder Style, Arrow Rain' if my attempt failed.

Using 'Elemental Armamnet' to coat the longsword with my new wind elements, I started performing a very familiar technique…

'Swift Swordsmanship'!

Pouring out 'Sword Ki' into the blade, the speed was considerably increased as I could finally ascertain my suspicion.

'Swift Swordsmanship' was indeed another disguised technique!

The actual technique which had a more befitting name, was transferred into my mind…

'Wind Style, Swift Sword'

There was only small differences to the technique and its name, but the actual important part was the correct wind application method that would suit the sword art!

Using my already familiar control over the 'Swiftness' concept and adding the wind element application, the process was much easier than learning 'Lightning Style, Sword streaking through the sky' and similar to my latest mastery over 'Swift Steps'.

[ Your 'Swordsmanship' concept 'Swiftness' has evolved into 'Wind'! ]

[ 'Swordsmanship' Lv.5 (Unique*)

Description: the culmination of your sword art, a unique style of your own!

Concept & Skill accumulation: 

'Vital Accuracy' Intermediate lv.9, 88.8%.

'Lightning' Intermediate lv.8, 59.58%.

'Thunder' Intermediate lv.7, 93.51%.

'Wind' Intermediate lv.9, 99.9%. ]

'Indeed!'

Now I could finally ascertain that 'Steps', 'Swift Swordsmanship'... etc, the books I read back at the hall'd library aren't normal and shouldn't be normally put there…

'This too much to be a coincidence…'

I would be an idiot if I still tried to persuade myself that it was a mere coincidence, after all, once or twice would be a coincidence alright, but more than that?

It would obviously be a pattern!

However, the reasons for such a pattern that I could think of had already surpassed five, so until I received more information about that matter, I decided to put it aside and enjoy its advantages for now.

Quickly obtaining the 'Wind' concept wasn't bad but it also meant that my tier was still stagnant, but that was actually much better in my opinion.

'That means I could finally obtain true balance…'

Balance!

Now that I had the major outlines of the concept, with a little bit of time I could fuse it with my other weapon arts easily, allowing them to advance to the 5th Tier!

That would of course mean that both quality & quantity of my weapon energy would increase! Not to forget the affinity upgrade as well!

2 days later...

[ 'Wind Style, Arrow' has reached lv.10! ]

[ Activating 'Omni-Mastery'... ]

[ 'Wind Style, Arrow' is absorbed into 'Bowmanship'! ]

[ 'Bowmanship' has leveled up! ]

[ 'Bowmanship' has reached lv.5! ]

[ 'Bow Mastery' has leveled up! ]

[ 'Bow Mastery' has reached lv.5! ]

[ Your body has been cleansed by 'Arrow Energy (C+)' ]

[ Agility +0.1 ]

[ Your Agility stat is currently capped, 0.1 stat points are added to your Unassigned stat points... ]

[ The Special skill 'Dual Bowmanship' is fused and evolved into the Unique skill 'Dual Wielding'! ]

[ 'Dual Wielding' (Unique****) has evolved into 'Dual Wielding' (Epic)! ]

Using the opportunity to practice using crossbows with the concept fusion of 'Bowmanship', I actually managed to obtain one more epic skill!

That was of course alongside my other weapons training which had finally allowed my energy core to reach true balance!

Looking at my ability log, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, this meant that I still had 3 days that I could spend lazing in bed!

Lightning Empire, The Light Association branch…

"Sir, we have finally received word from our squad!"

"Oh? What are you waiting for, then? Tell me the results!"

"Yes sir! The early 'release' has been a great success, and the secret 'Bomb' has also been released!"

"Great! Haha, I knew this 'wash' subject was exceptional! If this goes as planned, the 'Lightning Empire', as the final obstacle to our plans would finally fall!"

'We had already taken control of the Light Empire quite easily, our positions in the Light Association were pretty much effective, I'm pretty sure half of their officials are merely our pawns, once the true forces come…'

"Sorry to interrupt your deep thinking sir, but what should we relay to the squad?"

"Tell them to…"
