Chapter 20

A treasure chest appeared before me, and a gem emerged from it.

As I gazed at the gem, which shone in various colors, two of them turned iridescent.

These two iridescent gems indicate that the limited-time skills being picked up this time are guaranteed.

Two iridescent gems, huh.

It's a decent result.

First, let's start with the bronze skills.

【Bronze Skills】【Strength Enhancement: Level 1】【Endurance Enhancement: Level 1】【Dexterity Enhancement: Level 1】【Agility Enhancement: Level 1】【Magic Power Enhancement: Level 1】

This is the usual result.

While leveling up these skills will enhance my stats, the number of items needed has increased recently, making it difficult to level them up.

I'll just have to grind more.

Next is the silver skills. There are many useful skills here, so I'm looking forward to it.

【Silver Skills】【Swordsmanship: Level 1】【Cooking: Level 1】【Stealth: Level 1】

These are safe skills. It's good that I didn't get any skills I rarely use.

Do these skills have a level cap?

While thinking about this, I head to the next gacha.

Next is the gold skills.

I've been using gold skills a lot recently.

Perhaps because my stats have grown, the power of the magic itself has increased, and it has become useful in actual combat.

In the past, it was a question of whether it could be used in daily life, so now I'm happy with whatever I get.

While thinking about this, I check the gold skills.

【Gold Skills】【Earth Magic: Level 1】

After checking the gold skills, no new skills appeared.

Usually, when the gacha is updated, new skills are added to either the gold or silver skills.

Was I just unlucky the first time, or were no new skills added this time?

Well, if I think about it, it's not a bad thing that it's easier to level up the skills I already have.

In any case, this is just the prelude.

The important part is the next rainbow skill.

There are two rainbow skills this time. Let's check them out.

【Rainbow Skills】【Dark Knight: Level 1】【Dark Knight: Level 1】

Dark Knight and Dark Knight.

They overlapped right away.

Since it can be used for leveling up, I'll take it for now.

The rest depends on how the skills are distributed up to level 3.

"First, Dark Knight. What kind of effect does it have?"

"Let me check it out."

Following Livia's voice, I appraised the Dark Knight skill.

"During Dark Knight activation, it constantly consumes HP and MP but significantly enhances physical abilities."

...that's what it says.

For now, I'll level up Dark Knight to level 2.

The rest depends on the performance of this skill.

Like Assassin, it's a skill that enhances myself, so it shouldn't be weak.

Before drawing the next gacha, I'll try this skill.

I'll activate the skill right away.

"What!?"

I can't help but exclaim, feeling a suffocating sensation.

However, it's not that my body is heavy and I can't move...

Rather, my body feels unusually light.

It's just that even a slight movement is difficult.

This feeling reminds me of a mountain I went to with my family when I was a child.

At higher altitudes, the air becomes thin, and even a slight movement can make breathing difficult.

The Dark Knight state is similar to that feeling.

However, while breathing is difficult, the body feels light.

If I can get used to it, it will be quite powerful.

"K-Krest-sama, are you okay?"

Livia looks at me with concern.

After groaning, I become serious, which is understandable.

After recalling my situation, I smile at Livia more than usual to ease her worries.

"It's fine. But, this is a skill that needs to be used in the right situation..."

Indeed, the effect is noticeable, but it consumes a lot of HP.

It might be better not to use it except in battles with strong enemies.

However, to get used to the skill for emergencies, it would be good to use it during regular monster hunting.

For now, I understand the situation with Dark Knight, so let's spin the gacha again until the next skill appears.

I quickly checked the bronze, silver, and gold skills... but no new skills appeared.

It seems there are no new skills added this time.

Now, finally, the rainbow skills.

The ones that haven't appeared yet are Black Shield and Shadow Technique.

There is one more iridescent gem.

I pray for either of them to appear and check it out.

【Rainbow Skill】【Shadow Technique: Level 1】

"Another new skill has appeared!"

"Yeah, that's right."

I smile along with Livia, who is smiling happily.
