Chapter 571: Unlocking a Skill (Bonus)
[In exchange for 1,000 ena, Party A, Nathan, will be able to see Party B, Familiar Anubis' skill list to the very details for five minutes.]
After a while, they had finally seen one plan that might be able to succeed.
He first opened Anubis' skill, which allowed him to get a good grasp of his skill.
[Skill]
[Call of Guardians]
[Ankh of Reincarnation: Immortality Authority (Low)]
[Magical Bandages]
…
…
There were a lot of skills, which were shown by Charlotte's illusion. He browsed through everything and finally reached the skill that Anubis wanted.
[Scale of Justice: Judgment Authority (Low)]
Just like the status, he could expand the information for the skill. Since he didn't have a lot of time, he just focused on the skill they wanted to upgrade.
[Scale of Justice: Judgment Authority (Low)]
[Upgrade Requirement: 250,000 Ena.]
"Hmm…" Nathan squinted his eyes before looking at more details, especially the skills derived from this ability.
There were a total of five skills, including the one that Anubis wanted him to get.
[Punishment.]
[Shackle of Sin.]
[Imprisonment.]
[Seal of Great Pharaoh.]
[Eternal Coffin.]
"That's right. The first one, the Punishment. It's the weakest ability among them."
Nathan nodded and opened the details about this skill.
[Punishment.]
[Upgrading to the next level: 50,000 ena.]
"It's not as high as you originally thought, Anubis." Nathan crossed his arms. "Then again, this might be the weakest version since it says upgrading to the next level instead of unlocking the skill." Nathan crossed his arms.
"Well, we can sense it, but just the feeling. There's no accurate measurement for it. We just know whether it will come or not." Anubis shook his head helplessly.
"Is that so?" Nathan pondered for a moment before creating two contracts.
[In exchange for 1,000 ena, Familiar Anubis' skill Scale of Justice: Judgment Authority (Low)—Punishment's upgrade requirement will be lowered to 15,000 ena for the next five minutes.]
The contract failed. "En?" Nathan crossed his arms and tried the second contract.
[In exchange for 1,000 ena, Familiar Anubis' skill Scale of Justice: Judgment Authority (Low)—Punishment's upgrade requirement will be lowered to 20,000 ena for the next five minutes.]
This time, the contract was established.
"This should be enough, right? If we unlock it during this time, will it be registered as unlocked?" Nathan squinted his eyes. If he gave Anubis more than this, he wouldn't have enough ena to fight.
"Yes. What you're doing is tricking the skill into opening. Once it opens, it shouldn't lock again.
"After all, this is not a deal linked to the world. Hence, the world won't be pulling that skill back." Charlotte confirmed it with a nod.
Nathan then formed the second contract.
[In exchange for his service for the next one month, Party A, Nathan, will pay 10,000 ena to Party B, Anubis, in advance.]
Even though Nathan used 'service,' it wasn't like Anubis wasn't helping him this whole time. This was just a way to trick the world so that he could give his ena to Anubis.
Of course, Nathan could even ask a ridiculous request to Anubis, but all his familiars knew he could be a devil when joking around, yet he never made an absurd request by taking advantage of this service unless there was an agreement between them beforehand.
That was why his familiars trusted him with the contract.
Nathan and Anubis signed both contracts in succession.
Everyone could see that the upgrade requirement went down after the first contract before changing to a different number once Anubis signed the second contract. The letter of the skill lit up, which showed that the skills could now be activated.
"I can use it now." Anubis nodded. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire
However, none of them could feel relieved yet. After all, they didn't know whether it would return or not after the contract ended. Even though the theory had been explained, there was no proof.
Hence, all of them fell silent, waiting until five minutes were up.
Anubis closed his eyes all the time, sensing the change in his body. He wanted to surprise them by making a shocked face as though it was gone, but he thought this wasn't the time for such a joke, especially since Nathan had just done a great favor.
Because of this exchange, Nathan didn't have enough ena to be classified as a master class summoner.
Hence, Anubis nodded his head. "It's still there. Nothing has changed. It works."
"!!!" All of them couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Nathan clenched his fists, albeit his celebration was stopped by Charlotte, who abruptly leaped toward him.
"We did it!" She was too excited that they ended up falling to the ground. "Ah. Are you all right?"
"Yeah." Nathan chuckled. "It really works. The number of ena required to change it is about 2,000. However, this is for such a skill. If it's a skill that requires 1,000,000 ena to unlock, I'm afraid that you will need more ena to change it.
"But if this actually works, doesn't this mean the evolution part can also be tricked? We'll bypass it within several minutes while using other items to boost their progress. Maybe I can lower the requirement or give a boost to the effect of the item for their progression."
Charlotte nodded. "That might be possible. However, I don't think you should do it on us. First of all, we have reached a form that is currently too high for your level. Hence, if you try to make us evolve, it will require at least millions of ena if not tens of millions.
"Hence, you should try it on a lower level familiar so that the cost will be much more manageable."
Nathan agreed. "I'll be asking Sasha about it, but I can't do it right now since Selena is not here. Well, I'll be waiting for the reward from the Azilia Kingdom for my recent contribution, so I expect I will also have a lot more ena to test it. Besides, we need to prepare a few items for the evolutions."
"Don't worry. I'll prepare the items. You should get the ena. Now that I think about it, where is Selena? How long will she be away?"
"She…"
