Chapter 148 - Fragment
[ You have obtained an Inheritance tag (Martial Artist) ]
[ You have obtained an inheritance fragment! ]
[ 'Omni-Mastery' lv4 unlocking +2% (7%) ]
'Phew.'
I finally finished a total of 6 Inheritance tests as I already had 5 inheritance tags attached to the belt I materialized to make them easy to hold.
Since this was the first time for the system to make a sound since my entrance to this tower, it was quite obvious that these inheritance tags or these 'fragments' as referred to by the system held a high significance to the advancing of 'Omni-Mastery' and should be related to classes, so it was only right to try and unlock the next level as fast as possible to make use of any advantage 'Omni-Mastery' could give me when it came to selecting classes.
So to complete this crucial step, it was only appropriate for me to quickly finish these tests which thankfully were quite easy to finish, as it only took me 15 minutes to complete them all, with half of that amount being spent on the Martial Ian who seemed to have trained a skin hardening technique, forcing me to add the force of mental energy to achieve a clean kill after injuring him several times.
In this short frame of time, I fought against 6 war veterans who specialized in single weapon and brought it up to a certain height, although my current unified weapon energy was quite overwhelming when compared to theirs, I was still lacking when it came to the depths of each weapon's way, and these fights allowed me to revise a part of these shortcomings.
That's to say, I was quite tempted to take one of these classes if that would allow me to truly understand a weapon's path, but I knew that these weren't the best goods this tower had in store so I restrained myself, especially that the actual boosts other than the path inheritance of these classes were sub-par.
[ 'Swordsman Inheritance Fragment' (Normal***)
Description: the key to the will left behind by a nameless war crazed swordsman.
**Transfers the understanding and experience of the swordsman's sword path (Upon use)
*Grants a 10% increase in damage for attacks caused by the inheritor's sword path (Upon use) ]
Being able to view the tag's info thanks to 'Eye of Knowledge' allowed me to ascertain the value of these classes which only had boosts in the range of 10~15%, and although it seemed like a great increase to most normal people, to me it was only comparable to one title's boost, so unless I had no other choice I didn't plan to be satisfied with just this.
Just as I was thinking through this, the six tags started to shine...
[ Would you like to receive any of the following Inheritances or directly move to the next Level? ]
"Would I still be able to keep and use these tags if I don't use them now and move to the next level?"
[ Of course, you would be able to keep the tags that you already won regardless of the Level, however, you won't be capable of activating them unless you finish at least one test at the next floor, in case you failed that test you will be sent out of the tower automatically losing all the tags and your chance to enter this tower. ]
"Hmmm."
It seemed that this tower simply didn't tolerate overreaching people who overestimated themselves, but judging from the difficulty of the current tests I totally believed that with my current strength and a correct battle strategy I should be able to finish at least one test, after all, I still had the advantage of having superior physical stats, and unlike immortal Ian.21 the test Ians were worn out quite quickly so at the worst case scenario I could simply make it a battle of attrition!
Not to mention that I still needed more fragments to unlock the next level of 'Omni-Mastery', so stopping here would mean that I had to give up and possibly stagnate the progress of my MVP skill, along with the accelerated growth and possible surprise benefits.
"I would like to proceed to the next Level."
[ Choice confirmed! Initiating transfer… ]
