Chapter 65: Obtain the Skill?: Part Two

~Click!~

Once again, with a click, the chains join. The single chain is now back to being two separate chains. I let go of the daggers from their handles and instead grab the two chains from their ends then continue slashing.

“The reach is shorter than when it was one chain but now I’m armed on both sides.”

I pull back, let go of the chains then grab the daggers’ handles and wave them again causing the chains to follow and join on their ends once more then hang them over my neck.

“This weapon is insane. Close-range, mid-range, long-range, it covers everything.”

“Gu Poison? From Murim legends? Explain System.”

[Gu Poison: The poison secreted from Poison Steel. Long ago, in the deepest parts of a distant land, countless venomous and poisonous creatures of various species of insects, reptiles, and amphibians engaged in an all-out war for survival until only one creature remained. The creature took on the combined poisons of all the others and became the most venomous creature in existence. Its venom, the Gu Poison, can change into any existing poison and thus take on the effects of said-poison but on a much stronger scale. Any and all steel within a three-hundred kilometer radius of the creature is imbued with its poisonous energy and thus becomes Poison Steel.]

“I see. So that’s how Poison Steel came to be. And it’s also why it can only be found in one Dungeon, this ’creature’ is probably the only one of its kind. This is the first time I’m hearing anything about some unknown creature being the origin of Poison Steel though. Does that mean I’m the only one who knows about this? The new Skill I gained is probably what allowed the System to explain it all in such detail. It said ’deepest parts of a distant land’, so this creature must be constantly wandering underground undetected, and that’s probably why no one has ever even heard of it existing in that Dungeon. The Dungeon that’s the only place one can find Poison Steel, and now my last target for my self-appointed Dungeon Steamrolling Mission. The Named S-Rank Dungeon Poison Death Island.”

[Report. Subject is required to provide the recently created daggers with a name, afterwards the Grade of the daggers shall be measured.]

“Ah, right. A name for my new weapon. Or weapons, since there’s two daggers…? Well…they’re a set piece but they’re still individuals, so I’ll call the one on my left, Left Fang, and the one on my right, Right Fang. And together they’re… The Emerald Twin Fangs!”

I hold the daggers up as I declare and in response, an engraving appears on each of them, the dagger on my left reads ’Emerald Twin Fang: Left Fang’ and the one on my right reads ’Emerald Twin Fang: Right Fang’. They radiate an intense white poisonous aura. Due to my newly attained Skill, I’m immune to it, but even from a glance, I can tell that it’d give low to mid-level A-Ranks a run for their money. And probably even high-level ones if I put my mind to it.

[Naming of the daggers is successful. Now measuring the Grade of the great Poison Steel daggers Left Fang and Right Fang. Emerald Twin Fangs, Left Fang and Right Fang have been measured to be a Last Stage Hyper-Grade Weapon.]

“With all of this, I’m sure I can one shot even the strongest of the Twelve Guardian Shadows. Since I killed number three, they might send either number one or two next. Or maybe even attack me all at once. Oh, that’d be fun.”

[Report. ERROR CODE DETECTED!]

“!?”

[The compatibility rate with a previously incompatible Skill has suddenly increased.]

Skill in question

• One With The Wind B-Rank: Allows one to merge themselves and anything they touch with the wind and completely erase their presence.

[Report. The compatibility rate with the previously incompatible Skill has been rewritten. Subject is now compatible with the Skill. Subject may now obtain the Skill if the Subject wishes.]

[Obtain the Skill?]

[~Yes~ or ~No~]

“How’s that even a question? Of course yes!” I push ’Yes’.

[Report. The B-Rank Skill, One With The Wind has been successfully obtained.]

I check my status window and there it is.

“Well damn, I didn’t realize this would work so well. This is basically cheating. As long as I want the Skill, I can ignore compatibility rate and obtain it like it’s nothing. Now I’m really glad I’m alone, if people knew of this, the entire world would be in an uproar. I’d be the center of more news headlines than I can count. Considering how much I like my privacy, it wouldn’t be great for me. I don’t wanna have to be forced to seclude myself in my Item Space for, well…forever, basically.”

I transfer my new daggers to the Item Space and leave the Dungeon. There’s no need to use the same entrance I used to enter the Sky Fortress since, with the Boss dead, the barrier from before has now dissipated so I casually fly off and towards the Dungeon Gate then go through it.

The guards that have been patiently wait-

“M-mr Raid! Your back! And so soon too!”

“Where you able to clear the Dungeon!?”

“… Maybe ’patiently’ is a bit of a stretch.”

“Sorry…?”

“Nothing. Don’t worry about it…but yeah, I did clear it.”

As if on cue, the Dungeon Gate dissipates behind me, like it’s merging with the very surroundings.

“What perfect timing.”

“Welp, I’m off to go clear another Dungeon now, later!”

“S-sir, please wait!”

“Hm?” I’m stopped by Barry.

“Uhm… I’m sorry. It’s just… Can I perhaps trouble you with a selfie?”

“Stop sounding so stiff. I’m a normal guy, just like you.”

“… I don’t think you can call solo clearing a C-Rank Dungeon when you’re an F-Rank normal.”

“… Th-that’s’… Th… Yeah, no that’s true.” I’m left with no choice but agree with him.
