There were four main things he got from this duel. The large reward of 20 million AP, the Unique Skill b Wings of Destruction}, Rank SS+ equipment Saint of Ruin, and an increase to his magic stat through absorption.
‘How much did I gain?’
After checking the rankings, Yoon-seok couldn’t hide his smile as he moved on. It was time to look at the obtained trophies, starting with the Unique Skill b Wings of Destruction}.
‘…Why is it so complicated?’
As soon as the information was revealed, Yoon-seok laughed. The explanation was denser than any other skills he’d ever seen. Expecting it to be a great ability, Yoon-seok slowly read from the bottom.
Rank F – Obtain the wings of blessing. Magic has a sacred property upon activation, and when a fatal blow is inflicted, time stops for one second.
Only one type of wing could be activated. He wasn’t sure during the duel, but it was a time stopping ability. However, Yoon-seok’s expression soon hardened.
Rank E – All beings within a 450m radius are given the Declaration of Divine Retribution effect.
Declaration of Divine Retribution? Why was this here? Yoon-seok freaked out and checked his current condition. And he realized, even though the duel was over, the sealed skills hadn’t returned.
‘I didn’t know this ability was stuck here…’
Unfortunately, the trophies obtained had a very big flaw. To use this skill, he had to sacrifice a lot. Given his high expectations, he felt a huge sense of loss…
Yoon-seok decided he would wait until after he checked the rest.
Rank D – Additional wings of spring water are obtained. When activated, magic has water attributes and is no longer consumed.
It was a two-step mode. However, there was no explanation about skill absorption. That seemed to be attached to the weapon. Yoon-seok quickly read the remaining list.
Rank C – All stats +1.
Rank B – Additional wings of judgment are obtained. When activated, magic has fire attributes and ignores all resistances by 75%.
Rank A – When the wing is activated, the limitation for stats disappears.
There were many overlapping parts. The wings of spring water, where magic consumption disappeared, was similar to {Demonify}, and the Rank A effect could be seen as a backward-compatible version of his power Transcendence.
‘Tsk.’
Yoon-seok smacked his lips as he confirmed the long-awaited Rank S effect, and he sighed.
Rank S – Additional wings of destruction are obtained. When activated, magic has a destruction attribute, and when the selected offering is destroyed, all stats increase by +3 permanently.
The remaining usage 0/3.
In other words, it wasn’t a one-strike strategy, and the ability increased when the conditions were met. Of course, it wasn’t bad to raise all his stats at once, but the problem was that there were no remaining uses.
“…”
Yoon-seok closed the tablet, and he stood with his mouth closed for a while. It felt like he opened a well-packed gift box and found poop in it. Well, this wasn’t his first time being disappointed by a skill.
‘Never mind, let’s check the equipment.’
Yoon-seok, clearing up his mind, opened the drawer at the bottom of the statue. There was a bracelet, not a hammer, sitting there.
Updated_at ranobes.net
‘Appraisal.’
Yoon-seok’s eyes glinted as he confirmed the item’s information.
*Saint of Ruin (Rank SS+) – One of the seven weapons of an Ancient God. When the rank rises, the owner is given a suitable random ability.
It changes to the desired weapon form.
Indestructible.
It was a growth weapon, and all the random abilities attached were properly paired with its original owner.
Yoon-seok, rereading the same content over and over again, smoothed his chin.
‘…It’s not bad, though.’
Skywrath Energy was an all-around magic power that allowed free attribute conversion. Except for the unknown destruction attribute, the others could be used somehow. There were no restrictions like the wings to use them more efficiently than the original owner.
‘Should I try it once?’
Yoon-seok imagined a sword instead of a hammer and infused holy attribute magic. Then, the Saint of Ruin turned into a sword made of light. When he used Appraisal, the content was the same, but the name was different.
‘Carton’s Punishment Sword.’
Didn’t he know why the name changed… who would know the Tower’s intention when making such equipment?
‘I don’t have to throw away Harmonious Sword, and I can wear the bracelet and take it out and use it whenever I need to.’
Yoon-seok made a tentative decision. Meanwhile, Asura appeared with a smile. For some reason, he could see that Asura was whining for him to give him either one.
‘It’s not useful, but it feels empty because there’s nothing….’
Yoon-seok returned to his foremost concern. Should he recycle b Wings of Destruction}? Or, just throw away all the sealed skills and use this? Of course, technically, he wasn’t throwing them away. He also had the option of Skill Synthesis.
Well, he has already made his decision.
‘Even if I can do that to the others, I can’t throw b Death God} away.’
Of course, it wasn’t because he was attached to Asura. Even if he didn’t need to remember the memories of his past life, the Rank A effect served as a counter ability to the Queen.
‘Plus, the Rank S skill has already been used up, so it’s advantageous to change it to a new skill.’
When he was about to use Skill Synthesis and that thought, a stern voice rang out in his head.
—Are you going to suck up all the honey and throw me away?
‘Lynn? Huh? Why are you here?’
—If I’m not summoned, I have no choice but to be with the Captain. Unfortunately.
‘…’
—So are you still not going to answer my question? Please answer. Are you going to throw me away? Like you did before?

Since she worded it that way, it made him look like trash. Perhaps because her voice was of a young girl’s, the amount of mental damage was severe. Lynn appeared to be worried that she would be abandoned when the Last Command was used up.
‘No way. Do you know how much I invested in you…’
With Enhancement and Ego Booster, he already invested so much in Lynn. She was also in charge of global defense and helped a lot while he was not around. He never intended to throw Lynn away, but was that sincerity delivered?
Lynn accepted it without saying much.
—…Okay.
‘I’m glad you got it.’
—Yes. I’m really glad to know how bad the captain’s personality is.
‘…’
He didn’t know who she resembled to behave like this, but she was an expert in playing a counter after lowering his guard. He was suddenly speechless by her relentless comments. Meanwhile, a question suddenly arose.
‘No, wait a minute. You’re a piece of equipment from the start, so it doesn’t matter if the skill disappears or not.’
b Commander Call} was the ability to summon and strengthen mechanical equipment. There would be some inconvenience in using Lynn’s ability, but even if it disappeared, Lynn wouldn’t. Lynn clicked her tongue at Yoon-seok’s sharp point.
—Cheh, you’re quick to notice it, like trash.
‘…’
—What’s with those eyes? You look like you’re protesting. You’re not trash.
‘Because I’m not like that in real life.’
While saying that, Yoon-seok felt it was ridiculous. He didn’t even understand why he was making an excuse.
—As a result of analyzing your past track record, I don’t believe you.
He could feel Lynn’s intention to tease him. When his head started to hurt, Lynn hesitated.
—…B-but it’s not like there isn’t a way to make me believe in you.
‘What is that?’
—How many days has it been since you left Earth? Please come often. D-don’t just call me when you fight…
He had nothing to say.
Leaving behind words that were more difficult to understand than Asura’s ‘Grr, grr,’ Lynn went to bed, saying she was tired. It was questionable why Lynn, a mental system, needed sleep, but he didn’t say much. He had just put out a fire, so no reason to start another.
‘Whoo…’
Yoon-seok felt exhausted, but after a moment to catch his breath, he continued his work.
「Please select a skill to synthesize.」
「It is possible to synthesize up to 3 skills, and all ranks must be the same.」
Currently, there were three Unique Skills Yoon-seok determined to be worthy: b Wings of Destruction}, b Frozen Heart}, and b Incarnation}. The {Thunder Sword} obtained from the Crown Prince was useful by itself, so he decided he would check the Rank S effect later.

‘Anyway, different ranks is the problem….’
Skill Synthesis was possible only when the ranks were the same. However, while {Wings of Destruction} was at Rank S, the rest were still only at Rank A. Therefore, he decided to upgrade to Rank S after first combining {Incarnation} and {Frozen Heart}. This was to save points, even just a little.
「Skill has been synthesized.」
「Acquired {Chaos}.」
Ice and fire combined to produce {Chaos}. Skill Synthesis usually added something in the process, but it was somewhat expected.
‘The abilities are just whatever.’
It didn’t feel special. It raised his stats a little, added a power correction for both ice and fire attributes, and buffed their power when combined. It wasn’t a bad thing, but it fell far short of Yoon-seok’s expectations. There were also only two Rank S options.
「Rank of Unique Skill b Chaos} has increased.」
「You’ve reached Rank S.」
「1 of the 2 effects can be chosen.」
Yoon-seok read them carefully.
*Ice Crystals – When killing an enemy with an ice-attributed attack, a random decisive measure is obtained.
*Human Fire Dragon – If small embers remain within a 10m radius, half of the existing magic will be consumed to revive the flames.
He didn’t know if he should say it was a relief or not, but he was drawn to neither of them.
「New abilities will be given to Unique Skill b Chaos}.」
Yoon-seok, choosing Ice Crystals without much thought, activated Skill Synthesis again to combine b Wings of Destruction} and b Chaos}.
‘C’mon…’
He was half anxious and half excited. Even though {Chaos} was so-so, {Wings of Destruction} was a Unique Skill better than {Thunder Sword} in Yoon-seok’s eyes. If it weren’t for the evil attribute seal, he would have used it as it was. He didn’t know what would come out of it in the future, but…
He desperately hoped that the option to seal evil skills would disappear at the very least. And, his wish came true.
「Skill has been synthesized.」
「Acquired b Heart of the Destructive Monarch}.」
「Declaration of Divine Retribution has been lifted.」
Destructive Monarch. Yoon-seok smiled, feeling a strange relationship with the familiar name. He would have to check what Unique Skill it was, but the Declaration of Divine Retribution had disappeared. The same went for his eight wings on his back.
‘Well, actually, wings don’t matter.’
As long as he could step on air, the wings didn’t mean much. As he was happily approaching the tablet, suddenly, Yoon-seok stopped walking.
「Rank S effect of b Heart of the Destructive Monarch has not been set yet.」
「1 of the 5 effects can be chosen.」
Would this be how Rank S Unique Skills were synthesized? As soon as he acquired the skill, he was given an option. Yoon-seok grinned. Of course, the final decision would be made after checking all the skill details, but…

*Destruction – When used, the destruction attribute is added to your magic for 1 minute. 60 minutes waiting time for reuse.
The first option was no joke. In other words, didn’t that mean that he could use a one-strike strategy once every 60 minutes with this new weapon?
