Blood Assimilation

258 Temporary Attributes Deadlinoments later, Randy digested the information regarding this newly acquired skill. It worked roughly the same way as he had thought when he had been bestowed the otherworldly and vague knowledge about the skill.

According to interpretation, this skill could absorb attacks and amplify said attacks before releasing and reflecting them back at the attacker. However, he only knew how it worked theoretically as he had yet to experience using this skill in battle.

After pondering this point, Randy suddenly realized that, unlike techniques that show demonstrations of how to execute them before fully grasping the know-how, skills work differently as they directly give you the means to execute them. Even if it was your first time using a skill, it would feel like you had used it throughout your entire life.

This was just like the skills he acquired in this world that felt natural to use. Furthermore, the skills in Acruxia were similar to the innate abilities that ability holders and awakeners possess after awakening.

"That begs the question, do the people in this world not awaken to their abilities like in my world? Or maybe they never had to awaken since their world was already a supernatural world, unlike Earth where people only started awakening almost a century ago...”

Randy pondered this but he found this topic irrelevant to him. This was because, either way, the people in this world were already endowed with the Dungeon System. Anyone with enough bravery could acquire a class by raiding a dungeon, as it was the only prerequisite to acquiring skills.

Moreover, those skills were similar to awakened abilities in his world. After all, the ability to use a sword without prior knowledge was already on par with that famous awakener in his world that awakened Weapon Mastery as his innate ability decades ago.

If his current world’s system grants people these skills, then they don’t even need to undergo awakening since they could still become stronger with their granted skills.

Putting that thought aside, Randy looked at the remaining skills on the panel in front of him. He pondered for a moment before deciding to acquire them all.

.....

A short while later, a series of notifications appeared with lines of text scrolling in his vision.

[[You have successfully acquired the skill, ‘Shadow Mirage Barrage’. Please check the skill description for more information]]

[[You have successfully acquired the skill, ‘Blood Ray’. Please check the skill description for more information]]

Just as before, in order to acquire these two skills, he had to turn into their correspondent weapons. Fortunately, the Shadow Mirage Barrage and the Blood Ray were both a Weapon Property of the same spear. Therefore, he didn’t have to experience the transformation twice.

Since that was the case, he chose to acquire them together when he realized that the two skills were derived from the same weapon that acquired two Weapon Properties- albeit at different timelines with different wielders.

According to the information from the system, a spear genius who once wielded a Divine Spear lost to a Demon General, who then used some unknown method to corrupt and turn the spear into a Demonic Spear. This then allowed the spear to acquire a new Weapon Property, which was the Blood Ray. The previous Weapon Property was Shadow Mirage Barrage.

After acquiring these three skills, Randy wanted to continue acquiring more skills using the Crystallized Ability Stones since he still had time to spare, but he decided against it. After all, multi-tasking was only effective if he had more than one body to perform those tasks or more time to spare, but he didn’t have any of those things. Right now, he only had himself and his defective incarnation.

Until his current incarnation was fully functioning, and he acquires more incarnations hopefully after he receives the Elemental Essence Crystals from the person who would be delivering them later, only then would he think about acquiring those skills.

Currently, the three skills he had just acquired would be enough for him. Not to mention that he had yet to test them and confirm their overall usage. Furthermore, even if he had more skills, he wouldn’t be able to use them efficiently and effectively in battle.

As such, he needed to get used to these three skills first before thinking about others. To do that, he needed to train them alongside his body for better coordination during battle-

"Wait! I forgot that my temporary attributes would expire in seven days. What day is it today?”

Randy suddenly remembered that the deadline stated by the challenger’s system was approaching.

Unknowingly, he had forgotten about this matter after sleeping for three days straight. It was because he was inactive for three whole days that he unconsciously thought that he still had time. Only now did he realize that he had already wasted three whole days of that time frame.

Now he only had had-

"Two- At most, I only have two and a half days to completely assimilate with those attributes. Otherwise, I would have to hunt in the Dungeon again, which would be a waste of time, to be honest.”

Randy shook his head and immediately stood up from his bed. He decided that there was no point in pondering his decision any longer. Since there was such a rule that stated assimilating with attributes that are displayed as temporary in the attribute screen before the deadline, there should be a method to expedite the assimilation process.

With that thought in mind, he made up his mind to seek help from a native of this world. Preferably someone who has more experience being a Dungeon Hunter.

The only one he could think of was that green-clothed young woman he met, Sylvana, and her teammates. Other than them, perhaps the Society Leader would be a better choice. But there was also Zophia, but Randy wasn’t sure whether she was a Dungeon Hunter or not.

As Zophia was more like an ordinary person rather than a person who would risk their lives inside Dungeons, Randy didn’t think of her when the thought came to him. But it couldn’t hurt to ask her since she seemed to be an experienced receptionist. please visit reo.m.

Even if she wasn’t a Dungeon Hunter, she might have some information from other Dungeon Hunters on how to expedite the attribute assimilation process. Furthermore, he didn’t know when Sylvana and her teammates would return. Even if they had already returned, he didn’t know where they lived.

In the end, he still needed to see Zophia for those pieces of information. That was if he ignored the possibility of confidentiality and other factors, such as only team members are allowed in their abode or similar circumstances.

Ignoring those possibilities, Randy walked out of his room and headed to the front of the building. Later on, he stood in front of Zophia with a few queries and demands regarding his expiring attributes.
