"So it was like that…" Emil finally accepted the ring. Although it is a gift, it's also his compensation for his work.

"Very well…" Vincent nodded after seeing him accept the ring.

He Transcended it four times already but it didn't receive another skill. If he used the system skill once more, it would be broken so he decided to just give it to Emil before that happens.

After Vincent returned to his residence, he finally had the time to inspect all his items.

The two swords he purchased were quite decent and if he managed to Transcend them successfully, it might be the time to let go of his Orichalcum and Mythril Swords.

He hadn't given them to his Celestials yet since he was still thinking of using them against the Totemic Barbarians.

However, now that they are no longer a threat, he feels like he can already change these swords.

[ Soul-Forged Evil Slayer Sword ]

[ Quality: Epic

Number of Enhancements: 0/10

Durability: 800/800

Knockback: 150

Bonus Damage: 110

Description: A broadsword forged by Elart Wiersma. It is made of Arcane Alloy and a Magic Beast's Core – Lightning Wolf.

Remarks: The Durability and its other attributes will be upgraded with every successful enhancement. ]

[ Skill ]

[ Paralyze ( Active ): In exchange for 100 units of mana, the sword can stun its target with a 70% chance of success. The stronger the target, the chance percentage may lower. ]

Vincent liked this sword as soon as he saw that it was not only a Soul-Forged Weapon but also embedded with Magic Beast's core!

It means that once he Trasncended this item, there is a high chance that he'll get the Soul Manifestation Skill!

It is not easy to find a Soul-Forged Item with good quality so he definitely wouldn't pass this out.

Currently, his main weapon is the Astral Night Dagger and his Soul-Forged Ironbark Cane. However, if he successfully Enhanced, Ascended, and Transcended this sword, he believes that he'll have a new favorite weapon.

After all, this slayer sword is very light and can be carried with one hand.

On the other hand, the second sword that he traded with his potion was only a Unique-Grade weapon.

[ Black Mystic Sword ]

[ Quality: Unique

Number of Enhancements: 0/10

Durability: 500/500

Pierce: 80

Magic Penetration: 210

Description: A long sword forged with an unknown type of alloy. It doesn't rust or even get dirty.

Remarks: The Durability and its other attributes will be upgraded with every successful enhancement. ]

[ Skills ]

[ Knockback ( Passive ): Every successful hit would have a 30% chance of triggering a knockback to the target.

[ Stab ( Active ): In exchange for 80 units of mana, the sword stab of the wielder will become 5 times more powerful. ]

If one looked at this sword, it would seem very simple unlike most of the things that caught Vincent's attention.

The Knockback rate was quite low and the Stab wasn't something new.

Nevertheless, the Magic Penetration is something that Vincent was interested in. Although he had items with Magic Resistance, he doesn't have any items with Magic Penetration and this is the first one in his possession.

With a weapon that can pierce through magic, Vincent would have an easier time dealing with the enemy Grand Magus or even their Magic Item skills.

The only thing he needed to know is whether it could also affect Aether or even Celestial Energy. He would definitely look into it later.

As for the skill book that he purchased it was actually the prerequisite to learning the Rune Magic!

It must be remembered that Tower Master Abe had gifted him a few things, aside from the Sealed Blood-Forged Villain Dagger that he can't use because it is in a Sealed State, Vincent also received Beginner Rune Magic Skill Manual.

He can't learn that Skill Manual with his system's function because of a required skill. However, he had finally found the thing that he needed.

[ Skill Book: Runic Body ]

[ Quality: Special Tier 1

Durability: 10/10

Description: A book bound using a female human skin. It contains a full instruction manual to learn the skill called Runic Body. Runic Body is a prerequisite to learning a skill called Beginner Rune Magic, a high-grade Special Tier 2 Mana Art. ]

Remarks: This item can not be enhanced. ]

Vincent took a deep breath as he triggered his System's Learn Function.

[ A Skill Manual found. Would you like to learn the skill Runic Body? ]

"Yes…"

As soon as he answered this, he felt his body start warming up as information was forcefully injected into his mind.

Then, there seem to have been new changes in his Core!

This Runic Body isn't simple at all. At first, he thought that by learning this, his body would just become compatible with learning the Beginner Rune Magic.

However, he didn't expect that it would give such a huge change to the point that his Synthetic Celestial Core would start mutating to accommodate the changes in his body!

"This…" Vincent felt his body relax after almost 30 minutes of numbing sensation.

Then, he swiftly checked his status to confirm the changes in his body.
