Once back inside my dungeon, I decided to sit down over the grasslands and check some things. Aquarina was left with the rest of my friends, they were all having a good time talking about what they learned, and that was the perfect time for me to use my bathroom break to sneak away.

Particularly, it was all to just check the Skill Scroll I got, and also to see the Civilization System, which was telling me to check its new changes. As for the elixir, I already handled it to Zephyrus, and after drinking it, he did indeed feel much stronger, although he got sleepy and went to take a nap.

While he took a nap, I noticed that his soul was being refined somehow, from the effects of the elixir. It seemed that it was becoming stronger and more capable of resisting the dark and blood elemental mana that overflowed through it.

Looks like the elixir was working pretty well! Though, its effects take a little while to take effect completely, so I’ll have to wait and see.

Oh, and about the other item, the fragment of the system resembled a beautiful gray and white colored crystal fragment, it emanated a powerful aura from within, but it was broken, and it was lacking two more pieces.

I don’t know when I’ll get the other two, but I will wait patiently, I suppose.

For now, the Scroll.

I held it in my hands, still a bit confused and conflicted about it.

Is it okay for me to copy one of my little brother’s abilities like this?!

It feels a bit... weird.

"Ugh, let’s get this over with. The more skills I have, the better."

The scroll was opened, revealing runes that flashed with bright light, reorganizing into three options.

Ding!

[You have opened the [Zephyrus Skill Scroll (S Grade)] x1!]

[Please choose the skill you want to learn from the Scroll]:

[Option 1]: [Blazing Golden Flames Phoenix Wings]

[Option 2]: [Umbral Dark Blood Aura Materialization]

[Option 3]: [Dual Swordsmanship Arts]

Three options, and all three of them looked rather tempting. The first option, despite just being wings, said blazing golden flames. Meaning that it could probably summon wings made out of the golden flames themselves. This could not only allow me to fly like my brother does but also release and control such flames.

The second option is... Probably something similar to his own powers, they call it "Umbral Dark Blood Aura Materialization", the last word being materialization probably means it can also become metal-like, just like how he used it!

And lastly, the simplest-sounding Skill, Dual Swordsmanship Arts. This is probably his innate talent with fighting using two swords. I think I could benefit from it. Maybe it gives bonuses to using two swords, and additional techniques already pre-learned within the Skill for easy usage.

All three-options sound interesting, but I am a bit conflicted about the first two. It would be too weird if I suddenly started using something similar to Zephy out of nowhere. And he might get upset too, worsening his inferiority complex. We need to remediate that, not to worsen it!

Honestly, I could always just hide the Skills from my family or combine them into others now that I got the Skill Fusion Tickets. But still... I feel like it’s not fair. I don’t think I’ll be picking them anyways.

And it’s not like I need them that much, right? I got my own Divine Sunlight and Holy Fire, and also I got my Curse and my still developing darkness and poison magic thanks to being connected with Beelzebub and Curse, two of my Spirits.

So, in terms of coverage, I’m good with that.

Ultimately, the only good choice is the third option. It’ll be a skill that won’t be just shown off in front of everyone. And it’ll feel just natural that I decided to use two swords from time to time.

After all, I even fought Zephy using two swords, one of them made from my Divine Thunder Armament Skill, which has already disappeared.

So yeah, let’s go for that one! It’ll make me feel the least guilty, and I’ll finally get myself a Swordsmanship Skill, which I’ve lacked since forever.

[You have chosen the [Dual Swordsmanship Arts] Skill to learn from the Scroll!]

FLASH!

The Scroll flashed with bright light, its runes fusing into my body and soul, granting me the power and knowledge necessary to use this skill at the bare minimum level of 1.

In mere seconds, it was done.

[You have learned the [Dual Swordsmanship Arts: Lv1] Skill!]

[Dual Swordsmanship Arts: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10.000

A Refined School of Swordsmanship that requires both incredible Dexterity and Agility to be utilized properly. By wielding two one-handed swords at the same time, it is possible to become a fully offensive swordsman, that disregards their own safety and defenses in exchange for explosive damage, and fast attacks.

Dual Swordsmen are known for their incredible dexterity, as they must control two swords at the same time, a feat not many can even accomplish. Usually left for Elves, this is a powerful Class that comes with its drawbacks, but whose strengths might overweight them.

When wielding two swords in each hand at the same time, your Attack Power, Attack Speed, Movement Speed, Agility, and Dexterity increases by +50%, with an additional +25% with each Skill Level.

Additionally, you can unleash special Dual Swordsmanship Arts, unlocked with each Skill

Level.

Available Techniques:

Level 1: [Dual Cross Wave] [Double Parry]

Level 2: ???

Level Bonus (1): Increases the Power and Effects of Dual Swordsmanship Arts by +30%. Enhances the proficiency of using two swords at the same time by +50%.

"Oh, it’s perfect!" I celebrated. "And not bad at all, honestly!"

"It does seem to be quite good indeed." Alice appeared as she analyzed the skill description.

"Yeah! Now I just need a second sword. I guess I can just go around with Ruby for now, and use for replacement my Divine Thunder Armament Swords... But at the end I still want to make myself a second one." I said. "Maybe one that is not imbued with a System Seed, so maybe I can exchange it around without feeling bad."

"Sounds good, maybe you could make something using the weapons you won’t use?" Alice wondered.

"Good idea, actually." I nodded. "For now, however, what did the Civilization System wanted

To show me?"
