Chapter 201: 257

257 Palm Of Double Returow that he had a lot of knowledge and divine points to spend, Randy decided that he would be using his free time right now, to focus on acquiring new abilities. After all, having more skills and expertise would ensure his survival.

Before that, he looked into the void of space in front of him and read the system notifications from earlier regarding the changes that occurred to his mental state.

[[Your tolerance towards your opponent’s mental pressure has increased]]

[[The mental pressure is no longer affecting your mental strength and psionic energy because your tolerance has increased. Your mental resistance has increased slightly in response]]

[[Attention! You have successfully resisted the tremendous mental pressure placed on your mind]]

[[You have met the requirement to form a ‘Mental Seed’]]

[[Your mental energy vessel, ‘Mental Seed’ is currently being created. The duration before completion is indeterminate for now]]

Once Randy was tossed in front of the long-eared, beautiful woman, these system notifications popped up in front of him.

This was why Randy gave up on the thought of extending the mental pressure’s duration. In addition[Instead,], he decided to take advantage of the moment to test his improved mental ability.

.....

With that in mind, he immediately gave up on his pretense of being affected by the mental pressure, as there was no longer any need for it, and decided to attack the long-eared, beautiful woman instead.

The results were quite satisfactory if he had to be honest. Compared to before, he was able to activate his mental ability, All Law Seeker ability, in mere seconds. This was unlike before, where he not only needed the target to stay stationary but also required more time to activate. Furthermore, he also didn’t need to be stationary to trigger the mental ability, as he could be in motion to trigger the mental ability without any lags or failure.

This activation requirement was undoubtedly better than before his mental energy underwent its current changes. Presently, he discovered that his control over his mental energy and ease over both mental ability and mental skill usage had increased significantly.

That aside, he proceeded to look at the golden screen of his system, and then his gaze fell onto the section where his stored- recorded abilities were listed.

Briefly glancing through the recorded skills and techniques, Randy turned to look at his remaining knowledge points.

[[Knowledge Points: 30,300]]

And then he turned to look at his remaining divine points.

—

[[Divine Points: 643,090]]

‘Hmm... I seem to have more divine points than knowledge points...’

Randy realized that he had amassed more divine points than divine points despite killing so many magical beasts. Although he didn’t get anything from those demons, he should’ve gotten more knowledge points, considering the number of magical beasts he killed. However, that wasn’t the case here.

According to his understanding of knowledge points, the opponents needed to be intelligent for there to be abundant knowledge points. Otherwise, there would be less harvest even if he killed them, or worst-case scenario, he gets nothing from them if they are weaker than him.

However, divine points share the same condition for point harvest when it comes to the choice of opponents- the opponent needs to be of the same combat strength, or stronger than you in combat power level regardless of energy type in order to harvest more divine points.

Combat power is different from combat strength and combat strength is different from combat prowess.

Combat power is essentially the level of accumulated energy, and combat strength is essentially the physical prowess of someone.

As for combat prowess, it is the combination of both combat strength and combat power.

Therefore, having abundant energy doesn’t always mean that you are stronger than someone with less energy. After all, physical prowess such as muscle strength, agility, and stamina would play an active role in determining one’s overall combat prowess.

That was why the demons of his current world were stronger than humans and other races overall when it came to combat prowess. After all, they had robust bodies and their stamina was also higher than others. Due to that, they were fearsome in battle.

However, humans were only strong when it came to combat power alone, as their physical bodies could never compare to demons when they fought.

That was why the demons were surprised that Randy could fight them almost evenly using nothing but his physical prowess despite being human like everyone else.

Unbeknownst to them, Randy wasn’t a native to their world. As a result, his initial combat strength was higher than most talented people in their world. Not to mention his assimilated states that boosted his overall strength when used in combat.

That aside, Randy turned his attention back to the recorded skills and techniques. At this time, he was looking at the skill section as they had skills that he wanted to acquire right away.

Ultimately, he decided to acquire those three skills first since the order in which he would acquire these skills or abilities did not matter to him.

Thus, he began to deliberate about which skill he should acquire first among the displayed skills.

Skill(s)

[1,000,000 KP] [10,000 DP]

[1,000,000 KP] [10,000 DP]

[500,000 KP] [5,000 DP]

Moments later, Randy gave up thinking too much, and without hesitation, he said: “System, I want to spend divine points to acquire the ‘Palm of Double Return’ skill.”

[[Acknowledged]]

[[Would you like to spend 10,000 divine points to acquire the skill, ‘Palm of Double Return’]]

"Yes.”

[[Response Acknowledged]]

Within the next moment, Randy felt his vision shift slightly as he found himself in this pitch-black space. Shortly after, he felt himself transforming into something inhuman while floating in a void.

Confused by his current state, Randy gave a quick glance at himself using his Dimensional Sense skill, and to his surprise, he had turned into a mirror- specifically the Reflecting Mirror of Double Return, the artifact from which the skill, ‘Palm of Double Return’ was derived.

Randy was frightened by his current appearance and instinctively struggled to move from his position but to no avail. It was then that he realized that he was only in his mental space and that his current state was most likely part of the skill acquisition process.

The next moment, Randy inwardly frowned upon this realization.

‘Don’t tell me I have to become a mirror to acquire this Palm of Double Return skill? While it sort of makes sense since this skill was derived from that S-Rank Mirror, it still doesn’t feel right to turn into an inanimate object- even if it’s only an illusion.’

Although Randy understood the process, it was just that he felt that a transformation of this kind was not good for his sanity.

This was because he truly felt like he had become an actual mirror, as he even lost all of his senses. Except for his consciousness that still persisted and allowed him to use his mental skill, Dimensional Sense, he couldn’t feel anything.

However, as he found himself in the state of this mirror, he was able to understand various things about the Reflecting Mirror Of Double Return Artifact. These included the original skill of the artifact and its S-Rank weapon property, known as ‘Double Return’.

Moments later, Randy found himself transformed back into his human form with his palm exuding this transparent energy that resembled that of the surface of a mirror.

Unlike an actual mirror, one cannot see their reflection on the surface of this transparent energy. Instead, any attacks that struck this transparent energy would be reflected back to the source with double the effect- hence the term, ‘Double Return’, in the name of the skill.

As for how it works, Randy didn’t understand it completely despite the information he received. However, he decided to read the descriptions since it was easier to get the general application of the skill, and sometimes even how it works.

[[You have successfully acquired the skill, Palm of Double Return. Please check the skill description for more information]]

After reading these lines of text in confirmation of his acquisition of the skill, Randy used his mind to select the skill on the screen. Soon, the description of the skill was displayed on the holographic screen in front of him.

?[[Palm Of Double Return]]?

?[[Grade: S]]

?[[Type: Skill]]?

?[[Description: A skill derived from the artifact, Reflecting Mirror Of Double Return. Using this skill would not only allow the user to negate elemental attacks but also reflect them back to their source twice their output. This was achieved by absorbing and supplying the absorbed attack with the appropriate amount of energy, enough to ensure double reflection of the opponent’s attack]]?

The system did not only provide him with the information and description of the acquired skill, but also the activation method of the acquired skill.

[[Special Note: As this skill is a magical skill, you can only activate it using mana or divine points. Therefore, any other form of energy would not be able to activate this skill]].
