‘Slow!’

The movement speed of the black tortoise, who had become smaller, was as slow as a tortoise. It was maddening for the high rankers who valued time more than gold but no one dared to complain. It was because the ones leading them were not only a god, but also Grid, the first ranked player.

‘It is a god so it must have a deep meaning.’

‘That’s right. There’s a reason why the black tortoise is walking slower than anyone else, even though it should be anxious. Isn’t there a saying that the more anxious you are, the more you crawl.’

‘Grid knows this as well so he’s quiet.’

‘The longest way around is the shortest way home?’

The high rankers were trying to convince themselves while Grid was looking at the new system. He was looking at the list of available skills that were less frequently used.

[1. Unbreakable Justice - used in 15 out of the last 100 battles.

2. Continuous Stab - used in 6 out of the last 100 battles.

3. Spear Shot - used in 2 out of the last 100 battles.]

‘My fights with ordinary monsters are also included in recent battles.’

Only in this way could the ratio on the list be correct.

‘Passive skills are excluded.’

If passive skills were included then Bow Mastery should also be on the list. Grid hadn’t shot a bow recently so Bow Mastery wasn’t put to use.

‘Unique skills are also excluded...’

What skills have he used the least? Grid asked himself this and the first skill that came to mind was Granting an Ego. It was Granting an Ego that Grid had never used before. It was used in the National Competition but that was on a separate server. The next one that came up was the Restraint skill. A powerful wide-area crowd control skill, it was once a favorite of Grid but recently, he only used it in large-scale combat. It was because a number of opponents could be defeated without restraining them while the really powerful opponents had high resistance to abnormal states and the effectiveness of Restraint could be reduced.

However, both skills weren’t included in the list of skills that could be synthesized. Granting an Ego seemed to be excluded because it wasn’t a combat-related skill and Restraint was excluded because it had an impact on or influenced various fused sword dances.

“Hrmm...”

Grid looked back on his recent battles. Unbreakable Justice had the advantage of being immediately activated in a wide area but the frequency of use had been further reduced since he obtained Drop, which applied the abnormal state ‘collapse.’

The multi-hit Continuous Stab was used to break shields that ‘unconditionally absorb a certain number of attacks, regardless of damage.’ Spear Shot was used for making variables by throwing or picking up a spear that had fallen to the ground and utilizing them.

‘They are used less often but except for Unbreakable Justice, everything had its place to be used.’

Grid frowned. It was a flaw just because he didn’t like to use it. This logic of a perfect transcendent was different from reality. Grid thought that his less frequently used skills weren’t his shortcomings. Rather, they were a power.

‘In fact, if I can connect Unbreakable Justice with Drop then I can aim for a momentary explosion.’

Drop dealt damage to all targets within range and induced a drop in defense. Then he could link Unbreakable Justice. This combo would boast a tremendous destructive power just looking at the coefficients. He simply refrained from using it because of the opportunity cost. Rather than linking Unbreakable Justice, it was better to connect the more powerful fused dances or the Undefeated King’s swordsmanship. Unbreakable Justice was only used when resources were really tight or skill cooldowns overlapped, making things difficult.

‘...Ah.’

Grid was crazily thinking up to this point, only to get enlightenment.
