"Hole Man Erix has done it yet again!"
*Cheers!*
"Hole Man!"
"Hole Man!"
"Hole Man!"
Erix rubbed his temples hearing the loud and resonating sound around him.
After killing his 2nd opponent in the Punch Death Arena in the same way while improving Puncture Stream, Erix gained further poprity, with more people shouting this name that he didn''t like much.
''Whatever, all I have to improve and continue. I might break through into the 5th realm in the Punch concept in my next fight.''
…
On the other hand, Rin was in a simr situation as Erix.
She had also asked for the best de concept, and arrived in a world ruled by des!
Following the rules of this Wish Reward''s dimension, Rin entered the Den of des—a deadly ce filled with ten underground floors.
Starting from the surface, Rin must kill her opponents on all floors or die trying to achieve her peak of de concept and achieve Conceptual Manifesto!
When Rin reached the second floor after defeating two opponents on the first floor, she readily broke through in her de concept, reaching the 5th realm Jeta in her de concept and awakening the final additional effect to her de concept.
[de]—Concept.
_Realm: Jeta — Zenith Zende
—> Severing de: Your des are Severing des whose shes will inflict ''Severum'' on sh-hit. As long as you reach a certain amount of ''Severum'' on anything, no matter how tough, you can sever it.
—> Slice & Dice: You can cut anything into pieces. ''Cut'' will be applied to anything you strike with your de-type attacks. Your de-type attack''s pration is increased by 100%.
—> Inversion de: Your des-attacks are a singrity, unaffected by general worldws. You can manifest des from any uncontrolled energy and control it while letting them inherit the power of the ded weapons you wield.
—> Zenith Zende: Your de-type strikes on anything produce an ethereal echo, reverberating through the fabric of reality itself to you. These echoes convert residuals of all your de-type attacks during the fights, turning them into Zendes. You can imbue a Zende into an attack and increase its potency by 50%.
You can imbue multiple Zendes into an attack and can store up to 5 Zendes.
_Effect(s):
—> All de-rted attacks deal 50% extra damage.
—> Your severing/sh attacks deal 50% extra damage.
—> ''Cut'' will be applied to anything your de-type attack strikes. Each stack of ''Cut'' increases your de-type attacks'' power by 1%, up to 100%. Once at 100%, you can consume the required energy based on the target and cut the target into any amount of pieces to your liking.
—> Upon striking a target with a de-type attack, you create a resonance within the target''s essence. This resonance causes the target to emit a pulsating aura, attracting nearby de-type attacks like a ma. Any subsequent de-type attacks directed at the resonating target gain a 25% increase in damage.
Additionally, if the target is already afflicted with ''Severum'' or ''Cut'', the resonance effect intensifies, doubling its attraction strength and amplifying the damage bonus to 50%.
—> You can a Zende each time you stack 100 Severam or Cut on a target. Zende-infused de-type attacks have 100% extra prative power on targets with 100 stacks of Severaum or Cut.
When Rin looked at the power Zenith Zende, her eyes sparkled.
''Awesome!''n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her brain also started envisioning a skill to utilize the full potential of this de concept in a single skill.
A single skill to destroy a targetpletely!
''100 stacks of Severaum and Cut can be done with micro-des at the forefront of any of my attacks and doing that will instantly produce 2 Zendes or 3 since initial residual attack might produce one.''
''That''s already a freaking 150% boost in attack power… on top of having 100% extra prative power on the target with 100 stacks.''
Rin grinned and walked towards the west passage in the 2nd floor''s huge cavern hall.
As she walked there, she saw a board and door leading to another hall.
[de Concept Assessment]
"You''re here again? I told you that you need to reach the 5th realm in your de concept to evaluate its Potential Grade," a slim man wearing a blue robe with two des at his waist immediately spoke upon seeing Rin.
Rin rolled her eyes before an ethereal glowing silver de manifested in front of her. This de formed from pure Prana present in the atmosphere, so she didn''t spend any energy.
But the man''s eyes glinted upon seeing and he side-stepped, "Go. Let''s see what grade your de concept is."
Since Concepts progressed differently for everyone as it was based on their personal factors and potential they bloom for themselves with their mindset, so not all were the same in power.
Rin wanted to know where her de Concept stood in this world of des!
As she entered, her eyes were immediately attracted to thergest board in the hall, disying the rankings of the top 10 de concepts.
[de Lords]
1. Sugil Nerat — Ethereal Edge — SSS-Grade
2. Neb Nightstrike — Shadow Shredder — SSS-Grade
3. Aetherielle Duskde — Twilight Tempest — SSS-Grade
4. Vortek Steelrend — Void Vanguard — SSS-Grade
5. Zenithia Skyshard — Celestial Cleaver — SSS-Grade
6. Draconis Emberde — Infernal Incisor — SSS-Grade
7. Seraphine Frostde — Frostbite Fury — SSS-Grade
8. Gaia Thornde — Verdant Vortex — SSS-Grade
9. Srius Sunde — Sr Sovereign — SSS-Grade
10. Lunara Moondancer — Lunar Lacerator — SSS-Grade
Looking at the leaderboard of the top 10, Rin narrowed her eyes, ''I better get into that…or I am going to feel like shit.''
Rin walked towards the evaluation desk and told them that she wanted to assess her de Concept.
The oval-shaped woman with a gentle expression, but sharp aura emitting from her smiled at Rin and said, "Go to Assessment Room no. 3 please."
As Rin left, the woman looked at her with an amused expression. ''Why does she seem nervous with that qualitative de aura? Haha, Perhaps she hadn''t seen other people''s de concept in detail yet.''
She nced at the leaderboard and thought, ''Hmmm, I wonder which ce she would take from there?''
