Saintess? Not Anymore! I'd Rather be a Destroyer-Chapter 69 - 56: Buying skills

[ I almost forgot, both of you have received five skills from slaying many Void Reavers ]

"To think something like the system could forget," Aurianna said with a slightly dumbfounded expression. "Sometimes you sound like a living being." She added as she stared at the screen.

[ Ignoring that ⁠╹⁠‿╹...]

"Why are you ignoring me?!!" Aurianna yelled at the system angrily.

[ Both of you have received five skills. They are:

| Hardened Skin- Void Reavers have an exoskeleton that can harden and soften depending on their battle situations. Now you can cause part of your body to become as hard as steel for 5 seconds. Skill is amplified based on your physical defense which is your Defense stat. |

| Scythe Nails- Void Reavers have scythe-like arms because you devoured them, now your nails extend for 5 seconds and become so hard that you can cut through a rock. Better to have healthy nails to be sure that they don’t break. |

| Illusion Steps- Because you devoured over five hundred Void Reavers, your speed doubles for 5 seconds. Skill can be amplified based on your Agility stat. Your figure looks blurry to opponents below your level. You’re also able to avoid attacks easily and jump high. |

| Skill copy- Eating many Void Reavers has affected your genes, so now you’re capable of copying an opponent’s skill for 5 seconds. You can only copy one skill per day and if the skill is too much for your body to handle, it would have a side effect, so it’s better to copy skills you can handle. |

| Psycho- Void Reavers go berserk and have a burst in power whenever they’re near death, so they can take down their opponent with them. When near death, your abilities go berserk and so does your mind, you lose all sense of reasoning, but as long as you have 1 HP you’ll survive.| ]

"These explain a lot about the Void Reavers’ attacks," Leila muttered thoughtfully, rubbing her chin. She closed her eyes as she remembered their berserk movements despite their bodies being greatly injured.

"They can copy skills?" Aurianna blurted out as she stared at the screen with a frown.

"Indeed."

"If they were in my world they would be quite a hassle to defeat," Aurianna stated nervously, "The sheer power they have would cause a lot of problems even for my High Land’s Royal Army. Are you confident you can kill them all?" Aurianna asked, turning to Leila.

"Nope," she shook her head, "The number of times I was killed by them, I don’t think I would win at all." Leila chuckled dryly. "I’m kinda glad they aren’t in my world, either."

"Hmm, so Leila, how would you aid me with the skill selection?" Aurianna asked curiously, batting her eyes at Leila.

"It’s simple, system shows us the best skills fit for Aurianna’s Classes!" Leila ordered as she moved closer to Aurianna.

[ Here are the best skills that Aurianna can obtain. They are quite expensive though. ]

[ Radiant Blast -160sp | Divine Judgement-120sp | Evasion-60sp | Dancing grenade-180sp | Demon Gnomes

[ Tap skill for more info ]

"Wow, so expensive!" Aurianna gasped in shock as she dramatically clenched her chest.

"But they’ll be quite useful."

"Wait a damn second!" Aurianna yelled, "Since when were people supposed to purchase skills? Isn’t it rather when I level up I receive skills? This is daylight robbery, a scam, I say, a scam!"

[ System has to withhold skills the Diamond is to receive, and chooses the best choice for you. ]

"Why and why must I also pay for it?" Aurianna cried.

Leila tapped her, "Well Aurianna, if you realize when the system sells us the skills it gives us a better version of so many skills, and also their skill mastery is faster." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"I don’t get what you mean," Aurianna looked at Leila with a dumb expression.

"For example, for an average human to master a skill to level 60 it would take them about 30 years if they put in enough effort, however for us, we could easily master this in a span of two years. This may either be because of our race. However, the system allows us to learn them, is immediately implanted into our head." Leila explained.

"You’re right!" Aurianna said as she finally understood the system’s benefits. "I still don’t fully understand the system, though."

"Hmm?" Leila looked at Aurianna.

"Where did the system come from? Who is controlling it? Is it a god? Because it is only gods who have the ability to do this. What if the system is made to lure us to these so-called Regals? So, it’s just preparing us for them."

Leila was surprised by Aurianna’s words and clasped her hands together tightly gripping them, "You’re right, I’ve been wondering for a while now what the system is?"

Aurianna and Leila stared at the screen before them with glaring looks.

[ I will never betray the Diamonds, I would carry out the sworn duty I was given until I can aid you no more. ] The system spoke in a more humane voice, which surprised Aurianna and Leila.

[ Questions like these should not be asked again. ] The system warned.

’The system is definitely hiding something,’ Aurianna and Leila thought as they looked at each other.

Aurianna sighed and stared at the skill display before her and yelled, " I’ll buy them all since they all sound super cool."

[ You have spent 10,295 skill points and received all those skills, you’re now left with 6,635 skill points. ]

"Ack, my points," Aurianna coughed blood as she slumped on the ground. Leila patted her sister’s back in hopes to comforting her.

Suddenly, Aurianna felt a massive ache in her head, causing her to clench it. Different images of how to use different skills flooded her mind like a video, and she could remember how to use them. Her eyes and ears began to bleed, and she struggled with her breathing. Leila watched Aurianna and gently held her sister’s right hand.

"I guess that was too many skills for your mind to comprehend at once. Next time don’t do that," she cautioned and Aurianna nodded before slowly getting up, her hands trembling.

"Hmm system, I also want charm skills," Aurianna said in a raspy voice.

[ The skills that I’ve found that would fit your class are:

| Lovable-20sp | Adored by all-60sp | True beauty-10sp | Devi Cute-70sp | Astral Beauty-190sp | Angelic look-200sp |]

"I feel charm skills are utterly useless and a waste of points," Leila scoffed and crossed her arms.

"That’s what you think, as long as one is beautiful I can get away with anything," Aurianna sashayed her hair and had a proud grin plastered on her face. "System can I have the best manipulation skills too?"

"Why would you need that?" Leila asked, a bit confused.

"Everything can’t be solved by violence, you know, sometimes it’s just easier to control others to do your bidding," Aurianna gave Leila a thumbs up.

"I guess I should get some myself," Leila smiled and Aurianna gasped, ’Why is my sister so beautiful?’

[ Manipulation skills you can obtain:

| Servant Class-1500sp | Absolute Obedience-600sp | King’s Game-700sp | Strategic thinking-160sp | Tactician-155sp | Demeanor-77sp | Joker-200sp | Monster-350sl | Inhumane-450sp | Intimidation-230sp |]

[ Warning these skills would greatly influence your personality and once integrated with you, they would no longer be skills but just part of yourself awakened. The Charm and the Manipulation skills. ]

"I’m too lazy to tap and read the descriptions, so I’ll just buy them all!" Aurianna declared happily.

Leila grabbed her hand, "Don’t just buy! Check out what it means first before you buy, to be sure if you want them," she warned.

"I don’t really mind though (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)," Aurianna stared at Leila and sighed.

"I said check!" Leila knocked Aurianna’s head hard and Aurianna cried, "What was that for?!"

"Think smart."

"First Eva now you, you all just want to bully me," Aurianna cried like she had been wronged. She then looked up at the screen and tapped the description. Aurianna looked at the many words on the screen and wanted to just tap the buy button but seeing Leila’s frowned eyebrows at her made her give up the idea and reluctantly read the descriptions.

"See Leila these skills aren’t so bad," Aurianna huffed and Leila nodded.

"System I’ll use my skill points to buy these skills too." Leila informed.

"I’ll also buy them all!" Aurianna yelled and pressed the yes button.

[ You have spent 4972 skill points you’re now left with 1,663 skill points. ]

"I’m shocked that I still have some left. I’m spending to the bitter end. System please purchase the most expensive skill these amount of points can buy!" Aurianna yelled and the system made a ding sound.

[ You have gained the skill, One hundred forms of feet arts. ]

Aurianna looked at the screen with a dumb expression and frowned. "This skill sounds so fucking weird why not give it a cool name!" Aurianna cried dramatically and slumped on the ground.

’Why is she so dramatic?!’ Leila thought as she couldn’t help but giggle at her sister’s funny expressions.
