Chapter 687: Chapter 272: Enhancement and Improvement (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4

Suddenly, the system notification sounded:

[Ding! Combination and enhancement of Intermediate Secret Technique ‘Sword Blade Storm’ and innate wizardry ‘Metal Morphing Spell’ successful, power has reached the level of an Advanced Secret Skill. Please name the new secret technique.]

Huh?

Can it be done like this?

Rein’s eyes lit up!

As for the naming…

Since it’s an improvement, let’s call it ‘Sword Blade Storm Improved’!

Such a lazy way to name things.

[Ding! ‘Sword Blade Storm Improved’ naming successful, synchronization with the original Sword Blade Storm related secret technique completed.]

Immediately, Rein focused his attention on the Weapon Master (Legendary) job panel and started to read in detail:

Sword Blade Storm Improved (Advanced Secret Skill) Effect: Based on Arc Slash, ingeniously combines original force and innate wizardry Metal Morphing Spell, wielding a special greatsword, attacking all enemies around in a high-speed airflow mixed with metal.

(Note: Sword Blade Storm Improved is a secret technique and cannot be enhanced through Skill Points.)

(To upgrade Sword Blade Storm Improved to Top Secret Technique, the following conditions must be met: one, Arcadian Swordsmanship lv16 or higher; two, Bear King Breathing Method lv16 or higher; three, innate wizardry as Metal Morphing Spell; four, Strength 42 points, agility 38 points, Constitution 38 points or higher; five, consumption of 4 Golden Skill Points.)

“This is not bad, conditions two and three are already met, and the attribute points aren’t a big issue.”

“This means, with only 6 Golden Skill Points, I can upgrade ‘Sword Blade Storm Improved’ to a Top Secret Technique.”

“As a group attack-oriented top-level secret technique, it requires 2 Golden Skill Points less than ‘Hammer of Shattering’, that’s the advantage of combining with innate wizardry ‘Metal Morphing Spell’…” Rein mused.

…

“Knock, knock, knock!”

At that moment, a knocking sound came from outside the training room.

“Come in!”

The one who entered was Chief Maid Shadia, who curiously glanced at the ironwood dummy lying scatteringly on the floor, full of metal darts, and said:

“Lord Rein, Knight Haas is not at your mansion, but he has left you a letter.”

“Your mansion’s servant said, Knight Haas just left this morning. This letter was originally intended to be sent to Mingster. My people were smart enough to take it directly for you.”

Shadia said this while handing a letter to Rein.

Hmm?

He has left?

Could it be because…

Rein raised an eyebrow and opened the envelope.

“Rein: Richmond Fishing Port has been attacked by sea giants, the situation is dire. Previously, your family was still in the mansion, I couldn’t leave, but now… please forgive me! Haas.”

It’s only human nature.

Rein nodded slightly.

So that was the reason.

Haas’s family is at Richmond Fishing Port, unlike himself, who had already sent his parents and sister to Mingster.

…

The next morning.

The messenger from the Sword Bearers Branch, that resilient leather-armored man, came again.

“Lord Rein, both gentlemen are very sorry.”

“Lady Vinica regrets that she cannot come to assist you this time; she is currently one of the communication channels between the empire and the navy along the coast, and in the short term, no suitable replacement can be found.”

Rein nodded slightly, showing understanding.

It makes sense. Vinica is a disciple of Master Annius, the navy advisor, and naturally familiar with naval communications.

In large-scale battles, maintaining smooth communication is of great significance.

“About that… the other gentlemen you mentioned last time, Angus and Viery, all sustained injuries of varying degrees during their last mission and are currently recuperating, fearing they may not recover anytime soon.” The leather-armored man said apologetically.

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, Rein frowned and said:

“So, does that mean no one can come over in the short term?”

“Not necessarily,” the leather-armored man thought for a moment and said.

…
