Chapter 279: 279
Draco re-entered Boundless, appearing in the Aether Hall . By the time he returned, about 2 days had passed in-game since they had spent around 12 hours in the real world doing miscellaneous stuff .
After all, now that Draco was a part of Supernatural, and as a high-tier member, he had to research on the organization and its members . After seeing some of the names, his heart clenched .
Those were all bigshots! The power and reach of Supernatural was not a fucking joke at all, they were literally the stuff conspiracy nuts screamed about but no one believed .
Most of the Superior Lords were even big players in the top 50 Rankings from the previous timeline . Eva was also surprised by this, and she became thoughtful .
Draco was surprised to learn that CERN was the main organization behind Superhuman, and every other part was just a sub-branch . It poured cold water on his fire of desire for their anti-matter to coalesce his Black Dragon in the real world .
It became apparent that in the case he and Eva had attempted to infiltrate them, it would have been a horrendous failure . Whether they would have survived it also became a valid question .
Right now, he could only take matters concerning the real world slowly . Every step had to be clear and concise, not allowing for any mistakes as it would be game over there .
As for Boundless? Hehe, Draco had come here to vent his unhappiness at having to lie low in the real world .
He first went to his workroom that he had asked Vitae to create in the Aether Hall for all his Tradeskills . He activated Scrivener and chose to record his techniques .
When he appeared in the familiar dojo, he was greeted by the sight of Satine, who - just like her daughter - radiated unhappiness . Already used to being passive-aggressively threatened by these yandere orbs, Draco pacified Satine before displaying more techniques .
Draco spoke again . "Begin recording, this is a sword technique called Sword Skill 101: Piledriver . "
"Acknowledged . Please display the technique fully . " Satine replied monotonously .
Draco displayed this sword skill with ease . After all his boons and boosts, he felt like he was unstoppable . He moved faster than he ever could before, and felt not even the slightest bit of strain .
Displaying a complex sword skill was about as tiring as relaxing on a sofa while eating grapes for Draco .
"Recording complete, removing unnecessary information… compiling… assessing…"
"Complete . The sword technique 'Sword Skill 101: Piledriver' has been assessed to be a valid technique . Generating Rank… complete . "
"Sword Skill 101: Piledriver is graded as an Uncommon technique . Would you like to record another?" Satine asked with a light bob .
He had to pause at Sword Skill 100: Riposte Curve last time, but he easily went up to Sword Skill 355 without stopping or feeling any mental strain . This had nothing to do with his class, as it was something that affected his real body .
It was simply the fact that the pods afforded full synchronization . Matters like that which would have caused his brain to overheat with the Virtua Helmets were easily solved by the nanites that entered his brain and acted like heatsinks .
They also boosted his cognitive functions as well as other bodily functions . This was just the tip of the iceberg in regards to benefits the pods brought to human life, which was something only GloryGore Labs could produce .
As such, he easily reached his last two sword skills . These were the two techniques he had used in his previous life to finally defeat Riveting Night with the help of a Hidden Power he hired to suppress Darkrow .
"Begin recording, this is a sword technique called Sword Skill 359: Overcharge . "
"Acknowledged . Please display the technique fully . " Satine replied monotonously .
Draco took a deep breath . His final two sword skills were leagues above the others because they were made at his prime, and they were created based on all of his accumulations as a Swordmaster, Control master and his Mana Sword .
Fighting with Worldly Energy fueling one's attacks was a common method for players above Rank 2 . Draco though, inexplicably had issues with doing so in combat .
In essence, he fought with Control and his skill alone, but had been able to trounce players around the world who used Worldly Energy in their attacks .
This was what led him to craft his greatest creation, the Mana Sword . The only Pseudo-Legendary item in the game had allowed Draco to channel Worldly Energy through the sword instead of his body, bypassing his weakness .
As such, he became twice the monster he had been back then, and he was crowned as King of the playerbase . He had dedicated six months in practice creating these last two Sword Skills, and even Riveting Night had only seen them used once before she was vanquished .
However, things were different in this life . He didn't need to rely on the Mana Sword to channel Worldly Energy, he had three different ways to do so . The first was his Willpower, the second was Control in conjunction with Willpower and the third was his State of Being .
Optionally, his State of Being could be combined with the other three to make things even smoother . Thanks to his Devil's Guile passive, he no longer drained Willpower, so it was all about how much Worldly Energy he himself could hold .
Draco decided to go to the highest point, so that the technique would be recorded at its strongest state .
He pulled in swathes of Worldly Energy . In this technique space, the Worldly Energy was infinite, so he could pull and pull till he felt like he would burst, and his weapon would shatter .
The amount of Worldly Energy Draco had pulled could even transform into an extremely impure low-grade Aether Crystals!
He then placed his left foot back and leaned on his right foot slightly . He stretched out his left hand like he was using it to aim a throw, and pulled his right hand back in a thrust motion with a standard sword provided by the dojo in hand .
Like a bow fired from an arrow, Draco shot forth with abhorrent speed, using his right leg to shoot himself forward . It was like he was gliding upon the earth, so fast was his movement .
