Level 2 Player

Test (2)

‘Let’s confirm right away.’

However, there was one problem.

‘Will Leo be able to do it?’

Skill Sharing requires the person sharing the skill to directly designate the skill to share. It was questionable whether Leo, who is not human, could share the skills Jin-su needs with him.

‘Still, let’s try.’

The number of attempts was many.

“Leo.”

“Nyaang?”

At Jin-su’s call, Leo tilted his head and made an expression as if asking why he was called.

“There is something called Skill Sharing. What this is...”

Jin-su explained Skill Sharing to Leo as easily as possible.

“I hope you will share the skills that appeared after you absorbed the class change certificate with me. By any chance, can you do it?”

“Nya!”

Leo tapped his chest with his front paw and showed confidence.

“Then let’s start.”

Jin-su designated Leo as the target of Skill Sharing use.

Then he waited calmly.

[The shadow magical beast Leo shares the Shadow Footsteps skill.]

“Huh?”

An unexpected skill that was not anticipated was shared.

‘There was this kind of skill too?’

Jin-su first confirmed the information of the shared skill.

[Shadow Footsteps - Level ¤Ð￠∠]

‘Why is the level like this?’

The level of the shared skill came out in a mess as if the characters were broken.

“Nyaang!”

Leo puffed his chest as if asking how it was.

“Hey, Leo, the skill I wanted is not this.”

“Nya?”

At Jin-su’s words, Leo was startled.

“Shall we try again?”

“Nyaang!”

Leo let out a cry full of confidence. Jin-su designated Leo as the target of Skill Sharing use again.

[The shadow magical beast Leo shares the Skill Predation skill.]

“It succeeded! Leo, you did well! You really did well!”

Jin-su tightly hugged Leo and stroked him roughly.

“Nyaang? Nya! Nya! Nya!”

Leo who was startled by Jin-su’s action realized it was praise and raised his head with a triumphant expression and puffed his chest.

‘Let’s see.’

Jin-su confirmed the information of Skill Predation.

[Skill Predation - Level б℃∞]

‘This one also comes out with broken level information. Is it because a summon skill was shared? Or is there another problem?’

The exact thing could only be known by testing the skill performance. However, what was important now was receiving Stat Predation shared following Skill Predation.

“Leo, let’s do it one more time. Got it?”

“Nyaang!”

At Jin-su’s words, Leo answered vigorously. Jin-su immediately designated Leo as the Skill Sharing target.

[The shadow magical beast Leo shares the Stat Predation skill.]

“You did well! You did well! Leo!”

Jin-su praised Leo while smiling brightly.

“Nyaaaang!”

At Jin-su’s praise, Leo also became greatly excited.

‘This will be the same too?’

Jin-su confirmed the information of Stat Predation.

[Stat Predation - Level б℃∞]

‘As expected.’

The exact skill level was not displayed.

‘Now, let’s confirm directly.’

Jin-su tried casting the Shadow Footsteps skill that seemed to be something Leo originally possessed.

Srrrk!

As soon as he used it, as if it was a type of stealth skill, Jin-su’s body melted into a pitch-black shadow.

‘It is quite usable?’

Jin-su who melted into the shadow moved his body. Then he could freely move while crossing shadows.

‘It is similar to the movement method of the shadow summons.’

The shadow summons could also hide their bodies in shadows or move. The Shadow Footsteps received from Leo also seemed to produce a similar effect.

‘Then shall I try using Skill Predation and Stat Predation?’

Jin-su looked at Leo while smiling.

“Leo, gather monsters.”

“Nyaaaaang!”

As soon as Jin-su’s words ended, Leo let out a wide-area provocation roar.

Dududududu!

“Krrrr!”

“Kyaong!”

Monsters gathered from all sides. However, since he had already gathered monsters once and completed the hunt, the number was not that many.

‘Right now, that is not the important thing.’

Testing the Skill Predation and Stat Predation skills was important.

Tak!

At that time, Leo ran forward first.

“Nyaang!”

Pukpukpukpuk!

Then he swung his front paws excitedly.

‘I cannot lose.’

Jin-su also ran forward while drawing the Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword and activated the Skill Predation skill and Stat Predation skill.

Slash!

Jin-su’s sword cut the monster.

[Predates part of the level of the Dire Wolf’s skill Charge.]

[Skill Predation raises the level of the Mana Drain skill.]

[Predates part of the Dire Wolf’s health stat.]

[Stat Predation raises the health stat.]

A system message that the skill activated normally floated.

[The Blessing of Hwangsin frowns because it dislikes the changed Mana Drain skill level.]

[The Blessing of Hongsin distorts its eyebrows while quite disliking the changed health stat.]

[The Blessing of Hwangsin nullifies the Mana Drain skill level that rose due to Skill Predation.]

[The Blessing of Hongsin chews and eats the health stat that rose due to Stat Predation.]

However, this time as well, the Blessing intervened. The skill level and stats that rose in an instant returned to the original.

‘I expected this much.’

The level of the Mana Drain skill and the health stat that the Blessing of Hwangsin and the Blessing of Hongsin ate are not annihilated without meaning. They continue to accumulate and pile up as experience that the Blessing of Hwangsin and the Blessing of Hongsin can grow with.

‘Instead of the skill level and stats not rising, the growth speed of the Blessing will become faster.’

That was sufficient.

‘Huh? But this is a bit strange?’

The skill level can be said to be that, but in the case of stats, it can be recognized immediately upon increasing. Because it annihilates as soon as it increases, although it is only a very brief moment, Jin-su can clearly feel that difference.

‘The increasing stats are too few.’

Even if estimating high, it was a feeling of about 10 stats being absorbed.

‘Let’s catch more.’

Jin-su hunted more monsters while continuously gauging the amount of stats that rise with Stat Predation.

‘It is certainly few.’

From as little as a single digit to at most about 10 stats came in.

‘Looking at Leo making monsters into a near-death state, at least 100 or more should come in in one go normally.’

If hit by Leo’s nyang nyang punches four or five times, the vigorous monsters fall into a near-death state in an instant.

‘Although it is said that only stats of 200 or below are taken.’

Stats exist as a total of 6: strength, agility, health, durability, mana, and mental power.

Assuming that ordinarily one or two main stats exceed 200, in Leo’s case, it is the appearance of taking about 100–200 stats with one front paw strike.

‘But why am I like this? Since it is the same skill shared, is it not normal for the performance to be the same too?’

Jin-su hunted more monsters for a certain test. Thinking it might be because he caught them in one strike, he also tried beating them with the scabbard. However, the result did not change.

Monsters that could not even raise energy after being beaten a few times by Leo’s front paws desperately rushed even while being beaten dozens of times by Jin-su’s scabbard.

‘I don’t know.’

He could not understand at all why the performance difference was so severe even though it is the same skill.

‘Let’s think positively. Where is what was obtained.’

Jin-su diligently turned the positive circuit. These are skills that he completely gave up on acquiring after the Dark Predator class change certificate was absorbed by Leo. Yet, he succeeded in acquiring the skills he thought he could never learn anyway.

‘On top of that, compared to when assuming I learned them directly, the performance is also on the far better side.’

Decisively, as Jin-su who cannot exceed class level 2, even if he changed class to Dark Predator, Skill Predation aside, Stat Predation was a skill that could not even be acquired.

‘Now that I see it, Leo was a lucky charm.’

If Leo had not found it, he would not have obtained the Dark Predator class change certificate to begin with.

‘If it entered my hands, I would have only enshrined it in the inventory.’

Even if a class level fix Blessing appeared, he would not have been able to use it easily. Because to use it, he would have to give up the dark-type class Reigning Necromancer or give up obtaining skills of other classes additionally.

‘It is rather fortunate that Leo absorbed it.’

Thanks to that, is Jin-su not able to use the Dark Predator class skills now?

Well, although the efficiency difference is quite large...

‘Because it is higher than when I learned it directly.’

Jin-su finished the test of the Skill Predation and Stat Predation skills.

‘But can the shared skills also have their levels fixed?’

It was an unknown area he had never challenged even once.

‘Something is a bit reluctant.’

If the level was clearly displayed, his heart would have been comfortable.

For example, if the skill level was about 200–300, there was no burden whether it succeeded or failed. If it fails, it is fine to just use it, and if it succeeds, it means it rises to level 922.

‘The fact that the skill efficiency difference when I use it and when Leo uses it is extreme is also bothersome.’

If he uses it for no reason and Leo’s skill efficiency drops sharply, that would also be a problem.

‘Let’s try later.’

There was no need to do it urgently right now.

‘The Skill Sharing upgrade was successful, and in the case of skill synthesis, is there something that changed?’

Jin-su examined the information of skill synthesis.

‘The constraint is the same.’

Unfortunately, the path of using a synthesis skill as synthesis material again was still blocked. However, there were two newly added options.

‘The success probability of skill synthesis rises.’

This was quite good.

‘If the success probability continues to rise like this, later I might be able to synthesize skills with extreme opposite compatibility.’

Then the versatility of synthesis skills will increase enormously.

‘The remaining one is that the information of the synthesis skill that will be made with skill synthesis can be known in advance.’

This was also a considerable benefit.

So far, he had to roughly guess by looking at the name and make it.

‘When I made the blood-sucking skill and Mana Drain skill into a synthesis skill, there was also a time when the option of taking the opponent’s mana was deleted.’

Actually, that was a case where the blood-sucking skill moderately absorbed the advantage of the Mana Drain skill, so there was nothing that could be called a loss. However, in the case of other synthesis skills, there were often cases of seeing not a small loss because the core advantage of the existing skill was deleted.

‘If the result can be known in advance, the loss will decrease sharply.’

Also, it became possible to make skills that could not be used carelessly because it was unknown what result would come out into synthesis skills.

‘The fixed level of the Blessing-exclusive skill rising is in a way the same as a new Blessing-exclusive skill appearing.’

Because the versatility of the Blessing-exclusive skills already possessed widens. On top of that, this time as the fixed level of the Blessing-exclusive skill rose to 222, the newly obtained Blessing-exclusive skills from now on could be raised from level 2 directly to level 222.

‘As expected, the Blessing is the best.’

Whatever Blessing comes out, there is nothing bad from Jin-su’s perspective. Because in any way, it gives great help in Jin-su becoming strong.

‘More than that, will this be possible?’

Jin-su watched Skill Predation and Stat Predation obtained through Skill Sharing with Leo.

Skill Predation and Stat Predation are dark-type class skills. The number of Skill Sharing uses also consumed the dark-type ones.

‘It would be good if sharing with the holy type is possible even if additionally consuming the number of Skill Sharing uses.’

The problem was that it was still unknown whether that was possible or impossible.

‘Synthesis skills cannot be used as material for skill synthesis. If that penalty is also possessed by Skill Sharing...’

Naturally, it is failure. However, in the case of Skill Sharing, there was hope.

‘In the options of Skill Sharing, the constraint that a shared skill cannot be re-shared is not included.’

At first, he thought that since it is sharing the skills of the holy-type status window and the skills of the dark-type status window anyway, re-sharing has no meaning. However, as he brought Leo’s skills, the situation changed.

‘Let’s try once.’

It might fail, but he had to try unconditionally first. Because if it succeeds, many things are obtained, but if it fails, there is nothing to lose, so there was no reason not to do it.

Jin-su cast Skill Sharing targeting Skill Predation shared from Leo.
