Chapter-12: Upgrades
A week later,
I am finally discharged from the hospital and can finally go my home.
after I reached my house, I contacted Raito to tell me if there is a competition going on for ascended, which can help me to grow stronger and a way to find someone stronger who can teach me.
For which Raito replied that there is a competition next month for ascended hosted by Ray Hayami the strongest ascended and also the chairman of Japanese Rise branch (TIAG).
Is sounds perfect can you get me in this tournament.
sure, I will handle all the registration process so don't worry about that.
By the way type of tournament is this?
It is a new tournament announced by the association so that new ascended can easily find their way in some guilds, also the winner of the tournament will get a price of 20 million Yen.
20 million …. (SHOCKED).
Yeah, and they also provide their support to the ascended who won this tournament, and the ascended can get a weapon of their choice from the association.
Isn't 20 million enough and they are also giving the ascended a weapon of their choice. (in aww)
Yeah, it is their First time announcing a tournament this big, so they are just giving it there all, also they aren't making restriction on the ranking of ascended to enter the tournament. therefore, it works better for us you can easily enter the tournament while being an unranked ascended.
Hmm you are right I will start my training for the tournament also.
Hey now you are entering the tournament doesn't mean you can start training remember you just got discharged from the hospital so rest a bit.
Yeah, I know don't worry about that I will take care of myself.
Okay, I know that just don't overdo anything stupid Bye.
Now that Iam done with this let's get started with some training, I need to make some new skills and master the skill I got from the fight and the skills that I can use in shadow arts.
So, let's get started,
First let's make some new skills because the more skills I have the more ways I can fight.
open skill combines,
___________________________________________________________
[COMBINE]
[LIGHTNING ARROW LVL-MAX] + [SHADOW BLADE MASTERY LVL-1]
=
[SHADOW LIGHTNING ARROW LVL-10]
This skill combines the speed and power of a lightning arrow with the stealth and cunning of shadow blade mastery, creating a stealthy lightning arrow that could surprise enemies and deal significant damage.
____________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
[COMBINE]
[FIRE BALL LVL-MAX] + [WIND SLASH LVL-MAX] + [LIGHTNING ARROW LVL-MAX]
=
[ELEMENTAL FURY]
This skill would combine the power of fire, wind, and lightning, creating a powerful attack that harnesses the elements.
____________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
[COMBINE]
[Shadow Blade Mastery] + [Elemental Fury]
=
[Shadow Fury]
When activated, the user's blade is enveloped in a shadowy aura that enhances its destructive power.
____________________________________________________________
That took a lot of mana, but it looks like I can now combine 4 or 5 skills together easily once, but it took a lot of mana. let's wait for some time before combining another skills.
Wait I just remembered I can also combine abilities right, but I haven't tried using that let's do that and finish this for today I also have to start my training for the tournament.
With the last bit of mana Kim had he used to combine one last time,
___________________________________________________________
[COMBINE]
[Shadow Arts] + [Evil Eye]
=
[Shadow Phantom Assault]
When activated, the user becomes a phantom in the shadows, striking their enemies with a flurry of attacks when they least expect it.
____________________________________________________________
After using too much of his mana Kim wasn't able to stand up from the bed and couldn't even lift a finger, his eye lids were getting heavy because of him using to much mana which he didn't supposed to use, after this Kim wasn't able to anything and went unconscious.
The next day,
After Kim woke up, He decided to check his new ability which he couldn't checked yesterday.
Hmm, Shadow Phantom Assault it looks like a nice ability to have also the new skills I got Shadow Lightning Arrow, Shadow fury, Elemental fury.
From all the skills that I combined yesterday Shadow fury and shadow lightning arrow are the most powerful, elemental fury is powerful, but I don't think I will use it as much as the other skills.
Now that Iam done with this I can finally start my training today.
(Ring, ring, ring….)
Come on now who is calling me, "who is it?"
"Hello is this Kim Kazuki Iam talking to."
Yes, and who is this.
"Iam talking from Japanese Rise association, regarding the tournament."
Yes, what about the tournament?
"Regarding the tournament we called you to notify you about the Qualifiers which will be held next week."
Next week But isn't the tournament next month.
"The primarily and finals are next month."
okay so the qualifiers are this week.
"Yes, and I will send you the information of the tournament and your group."
Okay thanks for the information.
"Have a good day sir."
(beep...)
Looks like I need to train a lot if the tournament is next week.
After the call from the association, Kim started his training for the whole week and then the next week and the day of qualifiers come.
Now the time has come today is finally the day of the tournament qualifiers. I have been waiting for this tournament, now I can finally battle some strong opponents.
'Attention, every participant please come to their group room and wait for their turn.'
I should hurry according to the information I got from the association about the tournament the qualifiers are a battle royal. every group will have a battle royal and the top 5 from each group will be going in the next round, and there is total of 12 groups.
According to announcement the battle royal would be group wise and Iam in group 8, which means I got a lot of time before my match so I should observe the matches of the other group.
