Broadcasting Live From Inside An Eldritch Horror Game
Chapter 45: Overpowered Tank God! Part-1.
As the various system notifications rang inside Zephyr’s head one after another, mana in the vicinity poured inside his body rapidly, and a feeling of extreme comfort spread all over his body.
Mana, which was originally unwilling to enter his body that originated from a foreign place, willingly blessed him with its power at this moment, and many magical changes happened in Zephyr’s body instantly!
[Ding! You have awakened a new skill, ’Mana Control (F-)!’]
[Ding! You have awakened a new skill, ’Mana Quality (F-)!’]
[Ding! You have awakened a new skill, ’Basic Body Strengthening (F-)!’]
[Ding! You have awakened a new talent, ’Wind Affinity (S+)!’]
[Ding! You have awakened a new talent, ’Spatial Affinity (S+)!’]
[Ding! You have awakened a new talent, ’Martial Aptitude (S+)!’]
’This is amazing! I feel like the main characters in martial arts novels right now! Keke, this is nice...’
’Let’s strike when the iron is still hot! No point in wasting time!’
Without hesitation, Zephyr pulled out the lottery panel and decided to pull for a martial arts technique!
He already had a guaranteed chance, and even his belief points were already reaching about 18000 after his previous speech, so there was no need to keep holding back!
Now he could finally become stronger once again!
[Ding! Are you sure you want to buy a lottery?]
[Yes or No]
’Yes!’
[Ding! You have successfully bought a lottery!]
[Ding! The guaranteed ’unique martial arts technique’ pull chance has been applied!]
[Ding! Congratulations! You have acquired a ’Unique’ grade martial arts technique, the ’Shattered Firmament Martial Art!’]
A massive amount of information flooded Zephyr’s mind in an instant.
Although he looked the same as usual from the outside, waves of information so massive that it was difficult to comprehend them all in one go swept over Zephyr’s mind!
To Zephyr, it felt like ten years had passed in that one millisecond as an insane amount of information completely fried his brain!
Thankfully he was quite good at maintaining a poker face by now, and the viewers were busy talking about his previous speech, so nobody noticed any change in his expressions!
Once Zephyr fully digested the massive information related to the martial art, he was so shocked that he could only think of one word to describe it,
’Overpowered!’
This martial art technique was tailor-made for him and was extremely overpowered!
[Technique Name: Shattered Firmament Martial Art!]
[Technique Grade: Unique!]
[Technique Description: In a long-gone era, a young alchemist once came to question the meaning of reality and the existence of the world itself.
Sitting under the shade of a magical tree, the young man gazed at the sky and questioned,
"If everything in the world has a ’path,’ has a destiny of its own, and has a reason to exist. What is the reason for this world and for this firmament to exist?"
Driven by the fire of curiosity, the young alchemist went on to debate many scholars of that long-gone era, and as no one could satisfy his curiosity, he decided to venture far into the cosmos in search of the ultimate ’Truth’!
To search for the ’Ultimate Truth,’ the young alchemist created a martial art technique that could render the very heavens powerless and shatter the firmament, stopping him from starting his journey.
That legendary technique later came to be known as the ’Shattered Firmament Martial Art’!]
[Technique Effects:
1. Grants the user the ability to use the power of wind and space elementals to the extreme levels when fully mastered.
2. Grants the user a higher chance of being favored by the ’Laws’ of ’Wind’ and ’Space.’
3. Grants the user a possibility to bypass the very firmament of the universe if mastered to the extreme.
4. With each step the user takes on their ’Path,’ the stronger the effects of this technique become.
5. Locked due to certain conditions not being met.]
[Warning: Only those with S rank or higher-level affinity in both Wind and Space elementals can hope to ever learn or use this martial art technique.]
’This technique is tailor-made for me!! I just awakened wind and space affinity earlier and now I have a technique that is perfectly aligned with my affinities!’
’Thank you Mr. Question mark!’
Just as Zephyr was happily thanking his mysterious benefactor, he suddenly remembered that the last time this mysterious entity had helped him was when he was already standing on a disguised body of a man-eating snake!
This time, the mysterious person helped him just as he was about to enter a difficult trial and had made up his mind to take on the challenge of it.
’Could it be that every time something horrible is about to happen, this mysterious benefactor of mine tries their best to help me survive?’
’W-what is going to happen in this trial? Is it really that difficult?’
Zephyr couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.
’Well, I have already taken a step on my ’Path,’ so I cannot retreat anymore. It’s either do or die now...’
Zephyr looked at his updated status panel to assess his enhanced strength and prepare himself for the upcoming challenge.
