” (I won, huh…!)”
The sensation of having laid to rest the soul of the “Polar King,” a 〖King Beast〗, made all the strength in my body drain away.
A little later, my 〖Level〗 went up, and a power I’d never felt before surged within me.
“(But, it’s not just that, is it? After fighting this much, some of my 〖Skills〗 should have upgraded… but before that. The Space Expansion Bag broke, so I need to get this out, 〖Weapon Storage〗)”
I took out a single iron ball from the interdimensional space and let it roll onto the ground.
Then, when I displayed my 〖Status〗, a large number of unfamiliar 〖Skills〗 had been added.
~Skill Details~
Utsusemi: When evading, movement speed is corrected. Always corrects dynamic visual acuity. Once every four hours, you can teleport to a nearby location by consuming 〖Mana〗.
Last Stand: Always corrects the power to stay in place. Once every twenty-four hours, when 〖Life〗 is completely depleted, 〖Life〗 will remain at 1 instead. When 〖Life〗 is less than 10% of the maximum value, 〖Power〗 and 〖Speed〗 are corrected.
Clear Mirror Still Water: When working on one thing, concentration is corrected. Always corrects mental interference resistance. Always corrects thinking speed and confusion resistance.
Single Point Focus: When attacking the same location continuously, power is corrected.
Cold Block: Temporarily immobilizes you, but during that time, your own and your weapon’s strength and cold resistance are corrected.
Courage: When harboring courage, all abilities are corrected. Always corrects magical resistance. When dying, you can temporarily act beyond your limits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each of 〖Utsusemi〗 is an upgrade of 〖Flash Step〗, 〖Last Stand〗 is an upgrade of 〖Last Stand〗, and 〖Clear Mirror Still Water〗 is an upgrade of 〖Concentration〗.
〖Clear Mirror Still Water〗, which allows for constant thought acceleration, goes without saying, and 〖Utsusemi〗 is also reliable as a one-time trump card.
〖Single Point Focus〗 and 〖Cold Block〗 are new 〖Skills〗.
〖Cold Block〗 seems to be derived from 〖Block〗 rather than being completely new.
Could it be that 〖Single Point Focus〗 is also a derivative of 〖Concentration〗?
“(And the biggest achievement this time is 〖Courage〗)”
〖Courage〗… or rather, 〖Folly〗 as well, but according to the god, these are special 〖Skills〗.
They are called 〖Saga Skills〗, and they have special conditions for acquisition.
For example, the acquisition condition for 〖Folly〗 is ‘to face a life-threatening danger for a purpose other than survival.’
Moreover, this ‘danger’ must be caused by an existence with a higher rank than oneself.
It is by fulfilling these conditions and accumulating a certain level of proficiency that 〖Saga Skills〗 can be acquired.
The procedure is troublesome, but the effects are said to be powerful.
“(Ever since I heard about it, I’ve been thinking that I absolutely had to upgrade it to 〖Courage〗)”
The activation condition for 〖Folly〗 seems to be fighting an opponent with a higher rank or a 〖Level〗 that is 1.5 times higher, but with this condition, it would be impossible to use it against Chaos after evolving into a 〖King Beast〗.
It would be a waste of such a powerful 〖Skill〗.
However, if it is upgraded to 〖Courage〗, I can activate it against Chaos depending on my state of mind.
The upgrade condition was also ‘to kill those with a higher rank than oneself, with a combined 〖Level〗 of 999 or more,’ which was perfect for me, who was about to challenge the “Polar King.”
The activation condition of harboring courage is a bit vague, but I heard that it basically means to get serious, so it’s okay if I fight seriously.
“(Now that I’ve finished checking the 〖Skills〗… the important thing is still left, isn’t it?)”
I had an intuition.
In the final stages of the battle with the “Polar King,” I certainly felt like I had reached the essence of my 【Unique Skill】, a core-piercing sensation.
It doesn’t seem to be reflected in the 〖Status〗 display yet, but my senses tell me that I have reached a new realm—

The understanding of 【Unique Skill】 has exceeded the threshold.
【Unique Skill】 has resonated.
【True Evolution】 has occurred.
【Thunder Harvest Scythe】 has sublimated into 【Thunderous Cycle of Rise and Fall】.
Analysis will begin. …Analysis completion time: Undetermined.
Provisional analysis results have been added to 〖Status〗.

~Unique Skill Details~
【Thunderous Cycle of Rise and Fall】
・Maximizes harvest yield.
・Can manipulate thunder that strengthens the earth, harvests life, or shapes it. (NEW)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
–It seems that my 【Unique Skill】 has also been upgraded.
I check the information in my 〖Status〗.
“(Thunder that shapes things, huh? I see, so that’s how it can be expressed)”
I nod as I look at the explanation of the power that has bloomed.
I can intuitively understand the effects and usage of my 【Unique Skill】, but it’s easier to understand when it’s put into words in the 〖Status〗.
“(…But, the essence I grasped is more… no, I can look into that when I get back. More importantly now…)”
I’ve roughly finished checking my abilities, and now I’ll look at my biggest interest, namely my 〖Evolution Path〗.
Well, there’s only one candidate this time.
When you get to the 〖King Beast〗 level, even I don’t have any options left.
If I take my time, there might be other options, but I don’t have the time to try that.
It seems strong enough… no, more than strong enough, so I’ll go with this one.
“(I am going to—oh, looks like my ride is here first)”
“Did you win!? Kouya-kun!”
‘Yeah, I won perfectly’
A hole opened near the iron ball I had taken out from 〖Weapon Storage〗, and Paula came out of it.
She was in her usual clothes, but she didn’t seem to be shivering from the Arctic cold. Judging from the feeling of her 〖Mana〗, it must be the power of magic.
She also seemed to have been training while I was fighting.
“This is the ‘Polar King’ huh… It has an incredible amount of 〖Mana〗 even though it’s dead… Hmm, anyway, 〖Area Storage〗!”
‘You can store something this size now?’
“Ehehe, well, yeah. We don’t have time to waste, let’s go home quickly.”
‘Yeah’
As I answered, we went through the hole she had widened to make it easier to enter, and we left the Arctic behind.
