Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

The top premise in this synthesis was simple. The necessary abilities must remain. To that end, Yoon-seok changed the order of the formula even if the same materials were used and checked the number of all cases. Nonetheless, it was like a miracle that the core options followed even though so many different Unique Skills were combined into one.

‘Actually, there were times when all of them disappeared even if only one order was changed.’

A combination that would never have been discovered without Sharon. Yoon-seok slowly read the detailed explanation again with a satisfied smile.

‘I know it’s crazy.’

The God of Martial Arts. True to its arrogant name, this unique skill had specifications fitting the title of the final boss, such as various stat increases and battle corrections.

Rank F — Reduces all damage taken by 50% and has a 10% chance to completely evade all damage. All stats +6.

Rank E — Increases Agility by +1 when an attack misses. It can be stacked up to 20 times.

Rank D — When you get hit by skill or ability once, you gain permanent immunity to that effect.

Immunity to skills that hit at least once. Even if it hit, the damage was reduced by half, and perfect evasion was triggered with a 1/10 chance. These alone could bring a lowly challenger to the status of ranker. Nevertheless, Yoon-seok wouldn’t have chosen this skill for those alone.

Rank C — You sign a contract with Asura, the servant of the God of Martial Arts. You can see death and deal with it. Nullifies resurrection-related abilities when you kill an opponent directly.

Seeing and dealing with death was irreplaceable. It was his Queen’s countering ability.

“Growl, growl!”

“It means it’s a good thing, right?”

“Growl!”

Yoon-seok smiled at Asura. He didn’t know if it was a welcome thing, but somehow, Asura survived intact with that ability alone.

‘Instead, the list-related abilities and memory of previous lives disappeared.’

However, Yoon-seok didn’t regret it. The list-related ability didn’t help much in the first place, and since he experienced most of his important memories of his past lives, it hadn’t been triggered in a while. It would be better to focus on a more effective replacement for those abilities.

For example, like this.

Rank B — Immune to all status ailments and afflictions. Durability increases by +1 per second when both feet contact the ground. It can be stacked up to 50 times.

Rank A — When defeated, you can create a new power related to martial arts that haven’t previously existed in the world. Remaining count 1/1.

Rank B meant that he wouldn’t die even if he stood still, and Rank A was a variant of the S rank effect of the b Demon God} However…

‘Defeat… if you lose a duel, don’t you just die?’

He wasn’t sure if defeat in a duel would satisfy that condition. After all, this part couldn’t be tested by Yoon-seok alone.

[The Unique Skill {God of Martial Arts} is given a new ability.]

Yoon-seok next checked the Rank S ability. There were three options, and each one gave a performance enhancement related to battle; however, the decision wasn’t too difficult.

Rank S — Absolute correction is given to all combat actions.

Just like the whopping SS Rank effect of b Divine Ultimatum}. After all, the higher compatibility version was released from S Rank, even without the condition of slashing.

‘Looking at it this way, it looks like a complete challenger counter skill.’

It was a bit disappointing. Except for seeing and dealing with death passed on from {Death God}, there was virtually no effect in the Tower battle. The SS rank effect that he checked beforehand was the same. It was an effect that would give a challenger an absolute advantage. However…

‘Still, this is the best.’

Yoon-seok decided to raise b God of Martial Arts} to SS rank. The Tower and Queen. Those two were certainly the biggest enemies, but in the process, battling against other challengers couldn’t be avoided. There were already two missing 1st place players and the Heavenly Buddha attached to the Queen.

[You raised the rank of the Unique Skill b God of Martial Arts}.]

[It has reached SS Rank.]

[A unique attribute is given.]

Yoon-seok, who immediately took the elixir, checked the tablet one more time, and he stiffened.

b God of Martial Arts}

Rank SS – The maximum stacks of all types are tripled.

The SS rank effect had changed. Originally, it should have been a five times increase in the effects of all powers, which would further strengthen the Lady’s Commandment. How did this happen?

Yoon-seok belatedly understood.

“…Is it random?”

There was no end to the gacha.

* * *

This made things a little different. Yoon-seok, who was thinking of raising b God of Martial Arts} to SS Rank and finishing his modifications, grinned. The SS Rank effects that had come out so far didn’t come close to meeting his expectations, but…

‘I should do it until I get what I want, right?’

Originally, it must have been the Tower’s ploy not to give away strong powers easily, but it was meaningless to Yoon-seok. There was time left anyway, so he would have to see it until the end.

Afterward, Yoon-seok repeatedly raised his skills to SS Rank, which had now been reduced to five, including b Voracity}, b Divine Ultimatum}, and {Transcendental Muscle}. b God of Martial Arts} wasn’t the only special one. His other skills also changed.

‘It’s fun to try it all.’

Yoon-seok made a rough table through countless repetitions.

There were three main types of properties. The first was an increase in ability, an attribute that could be attached anywhere regardless of skill.

Rank SS — Strength increases by +10.

Rank SS — Agility increases by +7.

Rank SS — All stats increased by +4.

It was random what kind of stat would go up and by how much, but there was a limit. Ten was the limit of a single stat, and four was the limit of all stats.

Rank SS — Converts WP to AP in a 1:50 ratio.

Rank SS — Gives the target the Non-loss Muscle effect with a certain probability through Injection Muscle.

Rank SS — You can choose your opponent for the next match.

The second type appeared according to the concept of each Unique Skill. For example, b The Heart of the Destructive Monarch}, which focused on power correction, had WP-related abilities, and b Voracity} had duel-related abilities. If he was lucky, he could upgrade his desired skills further.

However…

‘Even so, it would be better to aim for the third type.’

The third type was an attribute attached to any unique skill like the previous abilities. There were slight variations depending on the concept, but basically, they were abilities related to the Tower battle, and they appeared with a very, very, very terrible probability.

{Voracity}

Rank SS — Eat the inedible.

{Source}

Rank SS — Exist independently.

b Heart of the Destructive Monarch}

Rank SS — Regenerate destroyed souls.

Rather than thinking of choosing one right away, Yoon-seok checked the attributes that could come out one by one. However, it didn’t mean much because he couldn’t tell what abilities most of them were just by looking at the text.

“There’s no end.”‘

How many times did he repeat his trials? Although everything that could come out seemed to have new attributes still appeared from time to time. At this point, Yoon-seok decided to eventually put an end to it. After all, he couldn’t stay like this forever.

‘Okay, let’s choose that.’

Among the numerous candidates, Yoon-seok finally chose to exist independently. With the SS Rank effect of b Source}, he liked the tone of the phrase even if he didn’t know it well. Would he become an independent entity? Maybe that meant he could be free from the Tower and the Queen.

Afterward, Yoon-seok modified only {Source} and attributed it. He got the option he wanted after completing a long and simple process. As always, he didn’t know if this was the best option. But…

“Sura, is this right?”

“Growl!”

Yoon-seok threw away his doubts. He didn’t need them to move forward.

* * *

“Sharon, Eltas. Thank you. You can go back now.”

“All right.”

“Already?”

Unlike Eltas, who nodded quickly, Sharon tilted her head. Seeing that made him laugh for some reason.

‘What does she mean already…?’

It’s not that he didn’t understand. In her eyes, all she did was use her power once.

“Anyway, I’m leaving! See you next time, human!”

After that, Sharon and Eltas left, and Yoon-seok stayed alone for a while to check on himself.

‘Something is missing.’

Yoon-seok, who checked the information window once more, grinned without realizing it. His Unique Skills had been considerably trimmed down. b Voracity}, b God of Martial Arts}, b Source}, b Divine Ultimatum}, {Transcendental Muscle}. Now, these five were all he had. Well, there was no doubt that he was much stronger than before.

[You have obtained the achievement Conqueror.]

Having confirmed the achievement Conqueror he got while synthesizing b God of Martial Arts}, Yoon-seok clenched his fists.

[List of Achievements]

Conqueror (Self-Evaluation SSS+ Rank) +2,000 LP

He finally got here. It felt like yesterday he was struggling to survive with a self-evaluation of F Rank and no knowledge on how to fight.

*1st Place, Predator – Earth (SSS+)

He was put on the same line as the Absolutes whom he once looked up to, saying that it was a place he would never reach.

‘…But let’s not get too excited.’

Yoon-seok tried to calm his excitement. It was still too early to be satisfied because the real fight hadn’t even started.

‘It’s still not enough.’

They were in the same position on the System, but this was just a fluke, just like the Heavenly Buddha, who believed that the whole world was a lie and realized completely different powers, and Cheon-ma, who raised to the sky without much mana. He also needed to hone his abilities.

‘After all, there is no guarantee that these abilities given by the Tower will last forever.’

Before rushing in earnest, Yoon-seok organized the things to be done in the future, and he divided his priorities.

“That’s the top priority.”

What was Henigus hiding? What the hell was the Queen trying to keep secret by forcing the reluctant Heavenly Buddha to kill? He thought of meeting with Elle and asking her, but he wasn’t expecting much. Because of Elle’s characteristics, she would have tried to tell him somehow if she knew.

‘Let’s think about the rest after meeting Elle.’

After that, Yoon-seok contacted Elle, and an invitation was sent shortly after. However…

[Will you accept it?]

Yoon-seok stopped before he clicked the button. It was because of one question that suddenly came to mind. It felt like he was missing something big.

‘…Wait, but why did the Heavenly Buddha just disappear from the rankings?’

Even forgetting that Elle was waiting, Yoon-seok fell into thought. If the two previously missing rankers were attached to the Queen, why did the Heavenly Buddha disappear only now?

He guessed the reason was simple.

‘…There must have been something he had to do.’

Just as he came to the Spacetime World to kill Henigus, the Heavenly Buddha needed to remain in the Tower to help the Queen.

‘…Does that mean that all their preparation for the Tower is ready?’

Yoon-seok soon realized what he was missing. Of course, there was a possibility that his prediction was wrong, but…

“…”

Just as expected, that ominous foreboding never went wrong.

Drrrrrrrr.

The waiting room trembled. There was no time to panic as messages popped up.

[An external attack towards the Tower has been detected.]

[All-dimensional aggression deterrence systems will be extinguished for self-defense.]

[A certain condition has been met.]

Yoon-seok knew instinctively.

[From now on, all holders can use the Last Bastion (EX).]

Just now, a full-scale war had begun.
