105: A Bonus Skill

A Bonus Skill

Ed inspected Suika and was shocked. She was now Earth Establishment level 3 (Level 31). She caught up with Ed and surpassed him in the blink of an eye. "System, how come Suika got so strong this suddenly?" Ed was relying a lot on the system to explain things lately.0

[Remember what I told you. Certain achievements would give a boost in levels. Becoming a Legendary monster is considered such an achievement]. Ed remembered how he had leveled up for the first time. He also noticed that after becoming a Legendary monster, Raikou leveled up, but it wasn't in one go. 'I guess it was a delayed effect' Ed was happy anyway so he didn't dwell on it.

"By the way, what kind of abilities did I get from me Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?" Ed was curious to see how his abilities had developed with his eyes this time.

[You won't go blind] The system tried to mess with Ed once more. But Ed didn't fall for it this time. He simply waited until the system continued.

[Tch…] Ed couldn't believe what he heard the system do. [You can now keep your pocket dimension open. It'll be like a portable dimension. But no one can be inside it. You can also create things inside of it, at the price of your KI]. Ed was about to ask the system something, but he noticed that he wasn't done talking.

[Since the Sharingan was given through the gift at the beginning. And it has reached Legendary level. You can choose one ability to use alongside the existing one]

"Amaterasu!" Ed didn't even hesitate in choosing. Among all the abilities that he knew, Amaterasu would be the most useful for him.

[Fine] Ed felt some slight burning in his eye. He felt as if something was being inscribed on it.

"What about my Three-Sword Style skill? It is a Legendary rank skill but I didn't get any bonus" Ed was being greedy at the moment. He wanted to get as many benefits as he could.

[You can already use all the techniques related to such a sword skill. There is nothing more to give] The system shut him down perfectly.

"By the way, keeping the dimension open whenever I want doesn't help me in any way. How can this be called an evolution?" Ed didn't like the new ability. If he kept the dimension open, it would only eat his KI away.

[You can do so in order to hide from enemies. Think of it as an escape pod. Creating one takes time, so this would help you save some of it]

Ed still wasn't very convinced. He felt that such an ability would only be useful when he becomes strong enough to keep it open for as long as he wants.

'Then what about the creation ability?' Ed thought about creating a sword. One normal looking sword appeared in his hand, and he only felt that his KI dropped by less than one percent. He smiled as he thought of the many possibilities in which he could use this technique.

'Then how about...' Ed closed his eyes to enhance his imagination. In front of his, a bed appeared. "Hahahahha. What a useful ability!" Ed was having fun with his new ability. However, he quickly stopped in order to save his KI.

"I'll upgrade you guys too when I get enough cards" Ed looked towards Gobuta, Goburou, and Garu. Ed only had two Upgrade cards left, and he wanted to level them up all at once. So, he decided to wait for another time. He cooked up some steaks for dinner and started on a very important task. Ed created a bathtub and filled it with some hot water. Ed didn't get to enjoy an actual bath in a long time. So this was considered a reward for himself and his companions. After the bath, they all slept on beds Ed created.

In the morning, Ed and the others left the pocket dimension. Ed asked about the fate of items he creates and was told that they disappear with the dimension. Ed didn't keep the dimension, as he didn't need it. He checked his Map and found that there weren't many monsters around. He guessed that most of them would be in the water.

Ed moved near the water, where he noticed a group of monsters laying down. The monsters were a group of crocodiles. 'I didn't know crocodiles lived in the ocean…'. What some people didn't know, was that crocodiles could survive the salt water. Alligators had this trait as well, but most members of this species lived in freshwater areas.

"Suu!" Suika rushed at them before Ed could say anything. She probably wanted to try out her new abilities. She transformed into her human form, which was bigger now after her evolution. She had perfect facial features now and was wearing a floral dress. Her previously yellow color turned golden after a night of sleep. Making her look majestic. If not for the color, no one would be able to tell the difference between her and a human girl.

Suika extended her fingers, making them look like long whips. These 'whips' caught the crocodiles and bind them. The crocodiles were caught off guard by Suika and couldn't escape. After a couple of seconds, the struggling crocodiles started acting weird. Some of them increased their struggle. Some foamed at the mouth, and some looked like they were sleeping. Ed noticed that the effects were all similar to debuffs. 'I guess this is what her Black magic is about' Ed thought to himself.

Seemingly satisfied with the results, Suika transformed the whips into thorns that penetrated the crocodiles. The ones who didn't die from poison were killed instantly. She returned back to Ed's side, showing a happy smile. "Good job!" Ed patted her head as they walked to the next location. Ed was surprised to see that he got a Gacha ticket from killing the crocodiles.

After walking for a while, Ed noticed that some red dots were approaching them from behind. He waited for a while and noticed a couple of 'birds' flying towards them. These monsters were similar to seagulls. Except in the fact that they were extremely ferocious. They could cause tornados with their wings.

"I guess we're having bird meat tonight," Ed said while withdrawing his Katanas.
