This was the reason why Grid’s basic attacks and 100,000 Army Massacre Sword was so powerful. All active skills belonging to Pagma’s Swordsmanship had the disadvantage of a long delayed activation time or cooldown time, but the function of the passive skill was the best. It was superior to other weapon mastery skills. Of course, the other mastery skills had the advantage of ‘always applied’, but Grid had Weapons Mastery in addition to Pagma’s Swordsmanship. Thus, he didn’t feel any big regret.

‘What if I enhance this?’

Grid had originally planned to enhance Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle. He hadn’t thought of enhancing Pagma’s Swordsmanship itself. Pagma’s Swordsmanship, which served as a conditional passive skill and intermediary to the active skills, was the most important skill for Grid. It was essential to him like air, so Grid usually forgot about it.

Then he had questions as he used the goddess’ blessing to enhance his legendary Blacksmith’s Craftsmanship skill. He wondered what it would be like if he had enhanced certain production-related skills like the Blacksmith’s Breath. It was a trigger that made Grid think about enhancing Pagma’s Swordsmanship.

‘It could be a really good attempt.’

Grid didn’t want to use the goddess’ blessing to enhance skills like Link, Kill, and Transcend. The power of the skills was better than before, but the cooldown time was fixed at 30 minutes. Waiting 30 minutes for a combat skill was too inefficient. It could be interpreted as decreasing rather than increasing attack power.

‘In the case of Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle, the cooldown is reduced from three hours to 30 minutes but...’

30 minutes still wasn’t a short amount of time. Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle was used to hit powerful bosses instead of hunting or PvP, but it still could only be used once or twice in one raid, regardless of whether the cooldown was three hours or 30 minutes.

‘However, this is basically strengthening the passive skill Pagma’s Swordsmanship itself.’

It would strengthen his various swords dances as well as Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle, and the penalties related to the cooldown times might disappear.

‘It might also be an opportunity to gain more fusion skills.’

Of course, there was no certainty regarding this. He could be wishing for too much.

“Phew.”

The bigger the expectations, the more disappointed he would be! Grid took a deep breath to calm his excitement and checked if the goddess’ blessing could be used on Pagma’s Swordsmanship. Fearing the worst situation, Grid prayed desperately, ‘Please! I hope it can be enhanced! Don’t say nonsense like the target skill can’t be enhanced using the goddess’ blessing!’
