Chapter 61: Advanced Dagger Mastery

Kaiju settled Snow and Little Gorilla to a shade of a gargantuan tree. He sat and leaned his body backward, resting his muscles and back, causing some knuckling noise to reverberate. He closed his eyes from the hysteria and rested for a while. Snow and Little Gorilla’s presence were by his side, enjoying the relaxing moment as well.

After resting a while, Kaiju asked the system to show the descriptions and the effects of the advanced dagger mastery. Kaiju could still remember the brief description of the basic dagger mastery.

{Advanced Dagger Mastery: Phantom Blade Technique

Description: This advanced mastery elevates dagger combat to an art form, blending physical precision with mana manipulation. Practitioners of this technique are able to condense mana into their daggers, creating enhanced strikes that pierce through both physical and magical defenses. With heightened speed, precision, and adaptability, Kaiju becomes a blur of deadly slashes and strikes, turning the battlefield into their domain.

Effects:

Mana-Condensed Edge: Kaiju channels mana into his daggers, sharpening their edge to a near-ethereal state. This increases the cutting power of the blade and allows it to damage both physical and magical entities.

Effect: Increases damage output by 20%. Ignores 15% of the target’s physical and magical defenses.

Phantom Slash: A high-speed strike where the dagger leaves behind an afterimage of condensed mana, creating a secondary attack that follows the initial blow.

Effect: Each strike delivers an additional phantom hit, dealing 50% of the original attack’s damage.

Blade Flux: Kaiju generates an aura of condensed mana around their daggers, allowing them to extend the blade’s reach or create small, fleeting mana blades for ranged attacks.

Effect: Extends attack range by 2 meters, dealing 75% of a standard attack’s damage.

Mana Cost: 5 mana points.

Shadow Dagger Bind: By infusing shadow-elemental mana, Kaiju can temporarily bind an opponent’s weapon or movements by striking their shadow with their dagger.

Effect: Immobilizes a single target for 2 seconds. Targets with strong willpower or mana shields may reduce the effect duration.

Mana Cost: 7 mana points.

Dagger Weave: Kaiju’s expertise with dual daggers and mana infusion allows them to attack in intricate, unpredictable patterns, overwhelming their opponents with relentless strikes.

Effect: Increases attack speed by 30% for 5 seconds. Critical hit chance is increased by 15% during this period.

Mana Cost: 10 mana points.

Ethereal Penetration: Mana-condensed daggers can bypass barriers and shields by vibrating at a high frequency, destabilizing magical constructs.

Effect: Negates enemy barriers and shields for 3 seconds after activation.

Mana Cost: 9 mana points.

Silent Kill: By concentrating mana at the tip of their blade, Kaiju delivers a deadly, precise thrust capable of targeting vital points or weak spots in armor.

Effect: Deals double damage when striking an enemy’s weak point. Ignore critical resistance effects.

Mana Cost: 5 mana points.

Mana Efficiency: Advanced dagger users refine their mana control, ensuring prolonged combat effectiveness even with heavy mana usage.

Effect: Reduces mana consumption for dagger-related skills by 25%.

Additional Passive Effects:

Increases overall dagger handling precision, allowing the user to parry or deflect incoming attacks with ease.

Enhances agility and reaction speed by 15%, making Kaiju harder to hit.

Infuses a portion of Kaiju’s attacks with residual mana, causing lingering mana damage over 3 seconds.

Flair: Practitioners of Advanced Dagger Mastery are known as "Phantom Blades" on the battlefield, feared for their ability to slice through the toughest defenses and evade counterattacks with supernatural grace. Their seamless integration of mana condensation into dagger combat makes them a force to be reckoned with. You, Kaiju, have obtained this state. You will be feared in the dark, the shadows will be your domain.}

Kaiju’s body shivered, especially hearing the Gacha System saying the last statements. He instantly imagined himself placing terror on his enemies, who could only see his shadows. Their terrified expression as their teammates were slowly being taken down by him thrilled him even more.

Soon, he calmed down and analyzed each effect’s description and their effects. It sounds complicated, but Kaiju did not place a lot of thought about it.

’So, my dagger mastery leans more on the shadow element.’ Kaiju thought. ’I guess it elevates my battle style.’ He grinned. ’A Beastmaster, like a Summoner profession, is an assassin? That’s unheard of.’ Even Qwanisha told him how bizarre indeed to witness the birth of a profession that heavily relied on others to be deadlier as an individual.

Kaiju was elated to finally be able to see his path. If Snow was an ice-elemental type mixed with poison as a battlemage, and Little Gorilla was a light-elemental type of tank of support, then he would be a shadow-elemental type of assassin, working in the dark. Their combination was unique and deadly.

Kaiju chuckled.

Snow and Little Gorilla cast a perplexing glance at their master, who was silent earlier except for his breathing noise and was now chuckling randomly. Kaiju was not aware as he was now reading the effects and mana cost of each effect of the advanced dagger mastery.

Basic Dagger Mastery only covers the basic fundamentals of dagger–slashing, stabbing, parrying, etc. However, the Advanced Dagger Mastery elevated its fundamentals, even fusing the mana condensation to create skills. Furthermore, with those skills and additional effects, including the Gacha System’s information about Phantom Blades technique, primarily the reason it elevated his basic dagger mastery to advance, Kaiju had now cemented a battle style in his head.

He suddenly thought of Qwanisha and his smile widened from ear to ear.

"Is it now time to see her reaction after we conquer her?" That was not a question in his head, but directed to his pets while still in a daze.

Snow and Little Gorilla were unsure if Kaiju was talking to them or not, but they nevertheless nodded their heads frantically.

Kaiju sensed their enthusiastic response, causing him to be awakened from his reverie. He beamed a smile at them and petted their head lovingly.

He said, feeling a bit emotional, "We have come this far, Snow and Little Gorilla. We were just once weaklings. Look at us now, we have evolved tremendously. It is now time to show our fruitful hard work."

Snow and Little Gorilla could not help but feel emotional as well. They nodded excitedly.
