After Extreme Speed was upgraded to LV5, further upgrading required 4000 Survival Points and 3 skill points.
Nishi looked at the cost required to upgrade Extreme Speed to LV6 and used her remaining 1 skill point to upgrade Chain Rapid Thrust instead.
[Chain Rapid Thrust (Active) – Skill Level: LV3] Consumes 5 Spirit. The next attack within 3 seconds will strike the enemy twice. Subsequent attack damage is 100% of the first attack's damage. Note: Subsequent attacks will not trigger weapon or equipment special effects.
Upgrading Chain Rapid Thrust only changed one thing—it increased the damage of the subsequent attack.
Maybe this skill will become even stronger when upgraded to LV5?
Looking at the attributes of Chain Rapid Thrust, Nishi comforted herself in her heart.
[Random Summon (Active) requires 5000 Survival Points and 1 skill point to upgrade to LV2.] [Upgrade?]
Upgrading once required 5000 Survival Points.
Cyan thought for a moment and upgraded Infinite Single-Blade Style. Infinite Single-Blade Style already had its skill level increased by the demon blade. Reaching LV5 might unlock even stronger skills.
[Infinite Single-Blade Style (Special) – Skill Level: LV5. Unlocked skill: Infinite Cannon.]
[Infinite Single-Blade Style (Special) – Skill Level: LV5] Note: Exclusive skills of Infinite Single-Blade Style require equipping a Japanese katana as a weapon to use. Skill power increases with the level of Infinite Single-Blade Style (Special).
[Infinite Style · Immovable (Active)]: Consumes 5 Spirit to parry an enemy's non-skill attack and deal counter damage equal to 100% of the enemy's attack power.
[Infinite Style · Heaven-Collapsing Slash (Active)]: Consumes 10 Spirit. Elbow-strikes the enemy to inflict 0.5 seconds of stiffness, then launches an upward slash. Elbow damage equals attack power + 100% of STR. Upward slash damage equals 150% of attack power.
[Infinite Style · Gale Slash (Active)]: Consumes 10 Spirit. Fires a long-range slash of sword energy forward. Slash damage equals 180% of attack power. Note: The attack range of this skill increases with the level of Infinite Single-Blade Style (Special).
[Infinite Style · Single Slash (Active)]: Consumes 15 Spirit. Knee-strikes the enemy to inflict 0.5 seconds of stiffness, then upward-thrusts to launch the enemy into the air for 0.5 seconds, then downward-slashes. Knee damage equals attack power + 90% of STR. Upward thrust equals 90% of attack power. Downward slash equals 130% of attack power.
[Infinite Style · Impossible Fist (Active)]: Consumes 20 Spirit. Attacks the enemy with a fist. Damage equals STR × 2 + 250% of glove-type weapon attack power.
[Infinite Style Secret Art · Infinite Cannon (Active)]: Consumes 100 Spirit. After a brief charge, fires dual crescent-shaped sword energies toward the enemy target. Sword energy damage equals 500% of attack power. This skill deals double damage to airborne enemies.
Secret Art…
After unlocking the Infinite Style Secret Art Infinite Cannon, the method of performing Infinite Cannon appeared in Cyan's mind.
Double damage to airborne enemies… double?!
Cyan thought she had misread it. She rubbed her eyes hard and looked at the attributes of Infinite Cannon in disbelief. This skill actually dealt double damage to airborne enemies.
I'll go to the training ground later and test the skill damage.
Cyan looked at the skill attributes and made a decision in her heart.
After upgrading Infinite Single-Blade Style, Cyan still had 3 skill points left. She upgraded Random Summon to LV2.
[Random Summon (Active) – Skill Level: LV2] Consumes a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 100 Spirit upper limit to randomly summon an unknown creature to assist in battle. The strength of the summoned creature is related to the Spirit upper limit consumed. After dismissing the summon or when the summoned creature dies, the Spirit upper limit is restored. Number of summons possible: 2. Cooldown: 15 minutes. Note: This skill has a Charm attribute requirement. If Charm is below 7 points, Random Summon has a certain chance of failure. At 10 Charm, Random Summon has a small chance of failure. At 12 Charm, Random Summon will not fail.
The Spirit upper limit increased by 50 points…
In other words, she could now summon stronger unknown creatures to assist in battle.
Cyan used her remaining 2 skill points on Random Summon as well, upgrading the skill to LV4. The maximum Spirit upper limit that could now be used to summon unknown creatures to assist in battle was 200 points.
After upgrading the skills, 16200 Survival Points remained. Cyan and Nishi headed to the equipment area to enhance their equipment.
Enhancement Room
The Black Widow Spider looked at the strange-looking thing in front of her, jumped to the ground, took a few steps forward, and felt the heat radiating from the enhancement furnace.
With a hiss, the enhancement furnace sprayed white steam, scaring the Black Widow Spider into turning around and running back. She darted into the fluff of Cyan's collar in a flash and patted Cyan's cheek with her little hands. "Master, what is this?"
"An enhancement furnace. It can enhance equipment."
Cyan said as she took off the Super Crown and handed it to the mechanical arm. After confirming the enhancement, the mechanical arm carried the Super Crown into the enhancement furnace.
The enhancement furnace sprayed a large amount of steam. Light burst forth, scaring the Black Widow Spider so much that she did not even dare poke her head out.
Success or failure?
Cyan looked at the enhancement furnace that kept spraying steam. Her mood was a bit excited and a bit uneasy.
[Super Crown] [Type: Special Head Equipment] [Enhancement Level: 5] [Attributes: All attributes +4, CHA +3.] [Skill: Super Crown Great Transformation!: Consumes 75 Spirit to create a clone of the Super Crown. Any living being that puts on the Super Crown clone will transform into a young girl / loli / maiden / mature woman according to body type. Returns to original form after removal. Number of crown clones that can exist: 2.] [Special ①: Any living being that puts on the Super Crown will transform into a young girl / loli / maiden / mature woman according to body type. Returns to original form after removal.] [Special ②: When crouching and covering the head, grants 3.5 seconds of invincibility. Cooldown: 1 hour.] [Equip Requirements: None.] [Remark: Bowsette and numerous magicians poured their hearts and blood into research for a long time before creating this ultimate weapon against the Mario brothers! Extremely effective against male living beings!] [Note: This equipment can be chosen to be hidden or displayed.]
The Super Crown successfully enhanced from 4 to 5. The skill information also changed—she could now create one additional crown clone.
Touching the successfully enhanced Super Crown, Cyan put it on her head.
She could create two crown clones. Aside from the one on her head, she could still create one more. Should she use it on Unabi?
Cyan thought of Unabi, who was currently in chess-piece form tucked in her pocket, and planned to ask Unabi after leaving the enhancement room whether it was willing.
Seeing that Cyan had succeeded in her enhancement, Nishi took out Musk's Short Blade and placed it in the mechanical hand.
As the enhancement began, the enhancement furnace flickered bright and dim. A thick cloud of smoke sprayed out.
"Hey! What's going on?! Don't tell me it swallowed my weapon!"
Seeing this, Nishi lifted her foot and wanted to give the enhancement furnace a physical repair, but was stopped by Cyan.
If that kick landed, Cyan was certain the enhancement furnace would not be affected at all. As for what would happen to Nishi's foot, that was an unknown.
Nishi was rather unlucky. The enhancement from 4 to 5 failed, the enhancement level dropped by 1, and she had to spend another 2000 Survival Points to bring the enhancement level back to 4.
"I refuse to believe it will fail again!"
Nishi put Musk's Short Blade into the enhancement furnace and glared angrily at the furnace spraying hot air.
Perhaps because it was being stared at by Nishi's furious eyes, this time the enhancement succeeded.
[Musk's Short Blade (Right)] [Type: Plot Character Weapon] [Enhancement Level: 5] [Attributes: Attack 44~64, STR +4, AGI +4, attack speed increased by 20%.] [Special: When attacking an enemy, has a 17% chance to spray melting gas, dealing 13 damage per second to the enemy for 10 seconds, stackable up to 5 times.] [Set Attribute: Collecting both Musk's Short Blade (Left) and Musk's Short Blade (Right) activates the set attribute.] [Equip Requirements: AGI 15. Note: Once equipped, this item is soul-bound to the wearer and cannot be traded. If the wearer dies, this item disappears!] [Remark: You scum won't leave Earth alive!]
"Wouldn't it have been fine if it succeeded the first time? It made me waste 4000 Survival Points!"
Nishi put away her weapon, heart aching over the Survival Points wasted for nothing. She wanted nothing more than to kick the enhancement furnace, but considering the heat it radiated, she could only give up.
After Cyan and Nishi finished enhancing their equipment, 7200 Survival Points remained.
Leaving the enhancement room, they headed to the training area and booked one hour of training time.
In the training ground, Cyan released Unabi and explained the function of the Super Crown to it.
"Want to wear it?"
Wearing this can turn me into a human? Become the same as Master?
Unabi looked at Cyan, then looked at Nishi. Thinking of turning into her appearance, its lips curled and it disdainfully blew out a breath.
"Hey! What's with that disdainful look?! I'm not bad-looking, okay!"
Facing Unabi's naked provocation, Nishi angrily waved her fists, wanting to teach it a lesson.
"Not willing?"
Not waiting for Unabi's answer, Cyan thought it was unwilling and walked toward the targets, wanting to test the power of Infinite Cannon.
Unabi hesitated for a moment, then stretched its head forward and bit Cyan's sleeve, indicating it was willing.
"I understand."
Cyan activated the skill of the Super Crown and placed the Super Crown clone that appeared in her hand onto Unabi's head.
Light radiating from the Super Crown enveloped Unabi's body. Within the light, its body underwent changes.
When the light dissipated, a tall, hot mature woman with chestnut curly hair appeared in place. Completely naked, her light-brown skin was smooth and healthy, her muscles well-proportioned.
A pair of fluffy horse ears twitched. A horse tail swayed behind her buttocks. A pair of brown eyes blinked blankly, as if not yet used to the current posture—especially the two heavy things that had appeared on her chest, making it difficult for her to maintain balance. Just standing was a bit of a struggle.
So tall!
Nishi looked at the hot beauty Unabi had become. Judging by eye, the other party's height was over 190 cm. She could only look up at her. She was simply too tall.
Unabi swayed and fell onto Cyan. Her full breasts were squeezed into an exaggerated shape.
!!!
Nishi stared blankly at Unabi who had transformed into human form, looked at her chest, then touched her own chest, her face full of disbelief.
I actually lost to a horse!
"Not feeling well?"
Cyan supported Unabi to stand up, thinking the Unabi who had put on the Super Crown and transformed into human form was feeling unwell.
"These are so heavy…"
Unabi leaned against Cyan, looking troubled at the burden on her chest.
Standing to the side, Nishi felt an urge to spit blood upon hearing Unabi's words.
If you don't want the chest you can give it to someone who needs it, damn it!
"Ah? Unabi?"
The Black Widow Spider crawled out of the fluff and sized up Unabi, who was leaning against Cyan and barely standing.
"Ah!"
Seeing the Black Widow Spider, Unabi's beautiful face turned pale with fright. She stumbled backward two steps and plopped down on her butt on the ground.
Damn it… so… so envious!
Looking at those surging waves that rose and fell with Unabi's movements, Nishi had no choice but to admit she was almost turning into a lemon essence from jealousy!
Who could have imagined that a strong warhorse, after putting on the Super Crown, would transform into a beauty with such a hot figure? And the front-heavy, rear-curvy kind at that…
