Versatile: Alternate World - Chapter 998: Entering the Divine Land
These stuff are new. And the fact that the Versatile Weapon has changed to a new name, it seems devouring the Weapon of Wrath triggered the change. Not only that but it also influenced the skills. The amalgamation skills are now combined to one skill. And some of the minor skills are missing as well. It was like they are eliminated since I barely use them.
As for the remaining skills, what made me shocked is that most of the skills that I acquired by letting the Shadow Dragon consume the other seven deadly sins weapon series, is that they have now minor changes. Although their effects remained the same, most of them have some performance change that are enough to say that they have changed for the better.
And to top it off, the names of the skills that came from the Seven Deadly Sins weapons are now changed to a demon’s name or title. I remembered a few of them and I am quite sure that they do hold the significance and authority with those particular sins they represent, which seems to be the main case here.
It was indeed a huge upgrade and I wasn’t expecting it to be this way. Seeing the note as well, maybe there is still some other things that will be unlocked if I find the last weapon of the Seven Deadly Sins weapon series?
“Although the stats of the weapon has been removed completely, you don’t need to worry about that anymore as the current power of this weapon surpasses twofold the former stats. There is no need for you to keep looking at it anymore,” the shadow dragon confidently said.
“Are you actually expecting the skills to actually change before eating the weapon of wrath?” I asked.
“You mean those new skill names? Yes. It was something that has been passively occuring in my body the more I complete myself. You can say that due to me completing myself that those skills that are incomplete has finally found their missing pieces and they are now showing their powers. However, although these abilities have been looking quite promising, they are still not the final form of those skills. Expect more to change once the weapon of envy has been found and consumed.”
Only one weapon left and it is one of the weapons that I have no idea about. It never appeared before but they are one of the most sought weapon of the players to complete the Seven sins together. I don’t even know if that weapon does exist.
“Oh yeah. The [Incomplete Rhongomyniad] also stated that I needed to let you devour the weapon with the same name to fully complete it? How did you know?” I frowned.
“It was one of my memories back when I am still alive. I am certain enough to say that it is the only weapon that I needed to devour to complete the skill. Although I don’t have any idea of the skill itself will remove it’s inconveniences when being used, it would be indeed a good idea to see a chance to find and devour it myself and repair the skill to it’s completion.”
I admit, the [Incomplete Rhongomyniad] is one of the strongest skills I had and one of the most punishing skills the weapon possess. Although it’s punishment is very similar to the [Blood Weapon] skill, the latter skill is not that hard to deal with compared to this skill which not only drains my vitality but my energy as well. One use of the skill and I will pass out immediately and that is enough to know how troublesome the skill is.
If fixing the skill is by only devouring that weapon, then finding it would be a great idea. However, I doubt I have the time to do that. Now that the battle is finally coming to a final close, finding the weapon without knowing where it would be is something.
I tried swinging the Devourer and I admit, it was much better in terms of being handled and how it can be a great one to use as well. It took me some time to get used to the new feel but all I can say is that I am feeling great with it. Next, I changed its forms and they do feel a lot better to be used compared to before.
“I admit, this is a lot better than I thought.”
“Heh, of course. If you thought I am just a simple weapon, I am not. However, since we both have the same enemy, there is no need for us to not work together.”
…
…
…
Darkness has started to scatter around the sky but the fact that we are in a place where a giant tree is giving off an unnatural radiance, I don’t think we need to worry about light as the tree is enough to give us light like we are still in daytime.
We also have done our preparations as well. I wear all of my best gear, packed all potions, stock up some bullets for the Pain Delivery and other resources, I can say I have never felt so overgeared than ever before.
The others are also preparing as well. Renatta is also going to join in on the battle with Alena and Labo. Mila and Avos wanted to rest and decided that they wanted to sit this one out instead of joining the battle if it ever happened. Izmir is not in the mood to join. Even the Blood Morgan is still in her hands and she is not planning on handing it back to me. As for the others, they are clearly eager to join. The only one who will not join us Mother, the elf siblings, and Almira. They will be with staying in the mansion and watch out progress.
As for Queen Almira, all I can say is that she is more eager than us in this prospect. She decided that she will join us till the very end and she wanted to see what will happen next to our journey once we are nearing it’s very end.
Almira is staying outside, looking at the Tree of life, watching for it’s changes like she was waiting for the right moment. She disregard us whenever we try to talk to her and she just remains silent as she continues her observation.nIn
I thought she would just remain like that but when the Tree’s bright light intensified, she stopped observing it and entered back the mansion. When she saw us gathered in the living room, she immediately gave an order.
“Get ready people, we are going to enter the land now that it is now possible to fully push ourselves further into this tree.”
After that, she rush back to the control room and it didn’t take a few seconds before the mansion started to walk once more. It is now walking towards the tree a lot more closer than ever.
The moment we entered, the elves perked up.
“This is…” Avos was stunned.
“Wow, what an abundant holy energy! This is nothing to scoff at!” Mila was also surprised.
“It is true…this is even more abundant than what we felt before as well. Is this due to the fact that we are nearing the tree that it was like this?” Renatta frowned.
Queen Tanya observed them for a bit then looked outside the mansion straight to the tree and concluded her thoughts. “Based on my observation, it seems due to the connection of the elves to the nature and how they are sensitive to mana compared to humans that they can feel the absolute state of the power surrounding this land. Although I am not sure what is the effect of you guys being under this harsh area, it’s beat you guys should be pretty careful in doing something. It might be bad for you all to do something related to magic while still in this area.”
“You are right. Ever since we stepped in this area, my mana seems to be going wild. We should indeed need to be careful,” Avos agreed.
As we continue to move deeper, the more we can hear the chaos on the other side. We can hear explosions and screams alongside the weapons clanging and banging each other. It’s a pretty chaotic place that I am not sure if it is indeed worth it to kill each other just to eliminate the competition. I don’t even think the tree would acknowledge someone who would willingly fight and murder others just to receive a blessing.
Almira knew about this and she went to the other side and continues to dive deeper into the Tree of Life’s roots. The tree is totally huge and it’s not just some kind of big tree, compared to our size, we looked like we are ants.
We continue to move with the mansion and I was totally surprised at Almira’s movements. Not only is she very sure on which path to take, it was like she knew this place already. Did she perhaps have visited this place before? That, I don’t know. One thing is for sure, I am both nervous and excited at the prospect at knowing the Tree of Life properly.
