Skills were the weapons c14bfe2b0c of hunters that shook 1643182d7d the laws of physics. They were similar 50c616cf50 to magic. Although the 7ded73f7b6 concepts were 35119f2687 different, both d5566588b1 were described bd648e9270 by older 8ef23282ef people as b0a9193f4c “things that e06fc26e28 only appeared 3c26139941 in games c7098b20ff now coming ba5f297167 to life.”fc01bcd6def08485

Of course, d6964d0d83 having the bac1b92b22 same skill 5ade274b30 didn’t mean 8d8efa1299 the same 2b39b2b437 level of f775632695 proficiency. Depending on how well 99c2e82e6f you mastered it and bf29c75878 how cleverly you combined 470e9781b3 it, you could show 69425de5e1 abilities beyond your stats.2e0bbe1c2fd42693

Except for 313f17dbc6 the three e0137c1f1d basic skills 4c963acdb9 obtained right 389e4ef282 after awakening, 7cac6ef8c8 skills were 87b7c9b2da generally known d13c4c6b45 to be b60260a589 acquired through c70fe3fabe skillbooks. Skillbooks were rare 698709ed4a items that occasionally 1e5bb668ff appeared as rewards 2cd6629442 for clearing dungeons.584a15fddec762e1

Some lower-ranked hunters sold 9add17a9db skillbooks at high prices a5d7e6e204 instead of using them, 00b8266e4b then quit being hunters. It was often better b3fecdf26d to buy good equipment 664609caf4 with that money than 2155a7b5eb to have an unrefined 8c2dbaf219 skill. Thus, the skillbook market c794d7cf09 always had a balance 5786522c58 of supply and demand.ea94b787060f75ae

In fact, you could b96218da43 acquire a skill by dad9dad505 repeatedly performing actions that c0ebb5bd86 would likely grant it. For example, if ab3f80d0c7 you wanted a 139abe93e4 poison resistance skill, d6af29ce8b you’d drink poison ccc0e4ae0b and endure it 73b3563683 repeatedly without dying. If you wanted a 9d0177546c detoxification skill, you’d drink b7fd1af840 poison and successfully detoxify 01a3354826 yourself with an antidote 9443ca0b44 before the poison dissipated. How many times 2329887094 do you have 8a31dd569e to do this? Until you f2072b9f9b get the 7bd470c51c skill, or 1fd04a45d7 fail and d800c7e64d die before 5647553bb5 that.c649ab5e72285bba

Since only cf07ff4cb1 my stats 01b1bec7bc were retained 5c08360483 after regression, fb6b266cb0 all the 16e6e9882e skills I 7735ccebb4 had acquired f6e86f6128 that way 4a81c43d9c had vanished. Except for basic skills, 217a23dad0 the only skill I 72416bc306 had was‘Concentration’ from a 41eac9595b skillbook that Areum 15cafa1f57 and Daun bought 79e16b244e for my 23rd 2f56488e09 birthday.edc664216ee69402

To prevent the disarrayed ec3a3b9580 Beast Hobgoblin horde from 2955fce451 recovering, I used Charge e152bcdb69 consecutively. Just with that, the 37b5417a56 ones that seemed to 919d8c0279 close in on me bef3959f59 were thrown into chaos. My body, enhanced with 21b0caee54 abundant stats, shot through 07a244d748 the enemy lines like 61b8436a23 a cannonball.9bc27e75989ca668

The rapier 3a62569b2e sliced through 28779c3297 the arrow 3428e3803e on the c82291d822 right. At the same time, 978bff6722 my empty left hand aa0d4e8ad2 moved. My tightly clenched d96cdbf1a0 fist extended towards 1767430c21 the Hobgoblin’s mask. Even though it was cedb01c6ee a bare hand without 3fd65bc097 any equipment, I just d3cdb79c5c focused.

The impact a08cfed686 on the f92a9d2168 back of 091e0b7f73 my hand bd7f44fe4c transferred directly ee50f54386 to the 3f8b16d176 opponent. The Beast dacef5fc5f Hobgoblin, still bea8402163 holding its 787fe6e381 mace, was 95fbeeef0d sent flying 4df0235b1c into the e71c85110a air.864b558c0ffee16c

I spun like 5247a7b788 the wind. The reversed view. The rapier fddba3e095 that sliced 233a0b1646 through the 7d1f4cdf56 arrow moved e26f506e00 towards its 84ee022b25 target without 645a9c4cf6 hesitation. The Hobgoblin, its mask 93f4ec7356 shattered, rose into the cd4ac57aae air. The blade pierced its 75816ccc0d flesh.39c6bd0294a9d669

Twisting the rapier upwards, c96aa91647 I pushed off the 49e4e288c5 ground with both feet. The blade, 83e3a96c8e which should 670dadee13 have broken 86e8f46221 long ago, 967579a803 resisted the a00e6b073b greatsword. I naturally added force ebe0d1c75f to my rotating body.

Holding onto my 80d48d622f composure with shamelessness, c7b511f4e8 I walked along 86d0f751ab the cave passage. After passing through 6613119f70 the winding path 890d7b1470 and turning two c36690a263 corners, a large a2228c2178 space came into 76dd4931d8 view.3724faa4ff9559b6
