BXBX NOVEL Chapter 16 16: New Skills
Right now, we already reached triple digits and were strong enough to fight B-ranked monsters or even weak A-ranked monsters. We improve our combat capabilities and increased the number of our skills, techniques and spells.
"Grrrrr!"
"…"
I steeped back from my position by several meters as I evade an enormous tail sweep. The tail didn't hit me but it ravaged the trees within its range. The monster turned its massive and tough body after the attack and glared at me with ravenous eyes.
I am currently facing a monster inside the forest on the beginning of spring. With our strength, we can now dive deeper in the forest until to the area where B-ranked monsters lurked.
It is a Level 376 B-ranked monster called Tyrant Lizard. It's a brown-colored bipedal reptile with long hind legs and short arms. It had sharp claws and teeth with the body length of thirty feet. No matter how and where I look, it greatly resembles the T-Rex back on Earth.
"Grrrraaa!"
The T-Rex charge at me with great speed despite having a massive and heavy body. It opened its big mouth as if to devour me whole. But this was not the first time I fought a Tyrant Lizard.
With my mithrill shortsword in my right hand, I raised my free left hand and opened my palm.
(Acid Bullet.)
"Giyaaaaa!"
I silently casted a Level 2 Acid Magic spell and aimed at the open mouth of the T-Rex. The lizard stopped its charge as it is agonizing in burning pain. I shoot five Acid Bullets for more damage output. I wanted to use it because it was a newly acquired skill.
Its short arms attempted to get rid of the acid but it cannot reach its burning mouth. Its skin were so tough that it cannot be scratched by an iron sword and resistant to magic. But it doesn't mean to be the same in the inside.
"Graahhhh!"
The T-Rex charge at me, who was the cause of its agony, once again at the speed faster than before. Its movements were always straightforward and easy to predict.
(Dash.)
I casted a Martial Art and dashed towards the T-Rex at high velocity. It was so fast that it looked like I teleported if my target were in front of me. Holding my sword tightly, I leaped as I reach the right position.
"Dragon Slayer!"
The silvery blade of my sword formed a beautiful arc as I swung it through the T-Rex' neck. I used a Level 8 Sword technique that were specialized for slicing tough skins and scales.
I landed to the ground smoothly and swung at the empty space to get rid of the blood. I sheathed my sword back to its scabbard and turned my body to take a glimpse at the T-Rex.
The headless T-Rex staggered its body for a while before finally fall onto the ground. The crimson blood started pouring out of its severed neck.
(Glaciate.)
I immediately casted a Level 4 Water Magic spell to cover its neck with ice to stopped the blood from spilling. Most of the parts of the Tyrant Lizard had a use and fetched a high price.
The meat were tender despite its high defense stat if processed properly. The hide were lightweight and durable that were usually used to craft light armor like what I am wearing right now. The blood of Tyrant Lizard was a high quality material and in high demand, especially for the vampires of Prussilvania.
Vampires in this world indeed consumes blood for survival. But it only applies to the low-ranking vampires. Superior vampires only consumes blood for luxury.
Vampires consumes not only human blood but also from animals and monsters. That's why vampires can coexist with humans because they can drink blood other than humans'.
<Experience fulfilled. You gained a Level.>
"Oh, I finally gained a Level after three T-Rexes."
There were no skill to plunder because Tyrant Lizards only use brute force and had a few skills. I don't want my T-Rex to spoil so I opened my Inventory to preserve it. A pitch-black disk appeared under the corpse and swallowed it whole.
I slew many types of monsters and took one of their skills. And this is my stats and skill set right now.

I had my minds to have a designated task. Two for my hands, one for my entire body, and one for my memory checking. Two of my minds were out of my body right now.
Both of them were operating my two remote consciousness. One of them were traveling around the Great Forest of Darkness to gather information while the other one were orbiting around this planet like a satellite.

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
I have many to publish, including the music for my sister's fifteenth birthday, which will also her social debut ceremony. This event will happen in a few weeks and the mansion are getting busy right now.
I acquired many skills and synthesized them using my Unique Skill Synthesis. After combining compatible skills, I got new skills and even obtained two new Unique Skills!
I also did some training and practice Alchemy with mom. Alchemy follows the law of equivalent exchange. You can basically create anything if you had the materials and enough Alchemy skill.
Speaking of my sister, our stats were not the only things that had changed these recent years. I wiped my sweat off that were dripping from my forehead.
I looked around the surroundings to make sure that no intelligent being watched me. For further coverage, I activated my new Unique Skill Omnidirectional Perception.
Omnidirectional Perception was a combination of Detection, Mist Radar, the combination of Mist Create and Detection, Heat Detection, the Skill that I got from the Mega Viper, and the Echolocation of the Cave Bat. It detects anything within its spherical range, even the concealed ones.
The radius are proportional to the users MP. Right now, I can cover up to seven kilometers radius. Confirming that there's one one around, I casted a magic spell.
"Warp."
The greeny scenery instantly changed into a stony room before my eyes. The room is quite spacious, about ten meters wide on each side and had six meter high ceiling. There's a single crystal-like bulb that shine so bright which it illuminated the whole melancholic room.
The room were filled of door-like articles and circular podiums with engraved magic circles. I stepped out from the podium where I transported just now.
I just used a Level 7 Spacetime Magic spell called Warp. It allows me to instantly teleport to my save point. It transfers me without any latency no matter the displacement.
Inferior transportation spells like Short Teleportation, Long Teleportation, and Transfer takes time to activate and you were widely open so the enemy won't waste the opportunity to attack.
The podiums were four-foot wide in diameter and elevated 4-inches from the stone floor. The first three inches were marble while the surface were made out of an inch thick mithrill.
There are four of these podiums in this room. Each had a unique scripture engraved on it. All of the podiums are our family's transfer point if we use the Wrap Spell.
Only mom had reach Level 7 of Spacetime Magic and can use Wrap among my family aside from me. And that's the purpose of my new Unique Skill Bestow.
Using my Computer Brain, I made a 3d model of each scripture of the podiums. I used Alchemy to 3d print the mithrill into the scriptures with the font size of 10. Then I used orichalcum to envelope the mithrill scripture and mold it into a golden plain bracelet.
I used my new Unique Skill Bestow and enchant the bracelet with Wrap spell. To make sure that they were the only one who can use the bracelet, I also enchant it with Mana Identification. During the molding, I mixed the bracelet with their hair to identify their mana. Mana Identification was a skill by combining Appraisal and Magic Sense.
I made it as plain as possible so I applied it with Disguise, a combination of Appraisal and Concealment. It can hide your skills, titles and blessings from an Appraisal user and manipulate your name, race and Level as a disguise. I concealed the effects of each bracelet and now it just an ordinary orichalcum bracelet.
I originally made two bracelet for mother and sister, but mom got green in envy saying that I cared about them more than her. I don't want to make her unhappy so I made two more bracelets for mom and me. I made myself one because I don't want them to think that I prioritize them over myself.
I walked out of the room and passed the dim stairway at the left. I stopped in front of a metallic door and opened it. The scenery in front of me was the first floor of the mansion.
I immediately went straight to the bathhouse as a realized how smelly am I.
