After finishing his experiment, El rose from his seat. With a single motion, he took out his upgraded equipment, including one newly created.
To be more precise, it was not El who created it directly, but one of his Avatars.
Without hesitation, El began to put on the equipment, feeling how the increased power blended into his body.
Quickly, El activated the effect of the Air Walk Shoes' ability. In a single stroke, his body shot into the sky, then stopped in midair, as if standing on invisible ground.
With a calm movement, El drew his sword, Sky Pearl Poison. A jian sword colored pure white from the base to the tip of the blade.
The handle was smooth, with a hand guard adorned with a small red gem in the center. However, the blade length was shorter than a normal sword, resembling a slightly long-bladed kitchen knife.
El stared at the sword in his hand, then with a little focus, he opened the detailed information, reading each description that appeared before him.
___________________
Shana
Level: Silver
Type: Weapon
Description:
This blade can change shape at will as well as manipulate and store energy it has touched within 10 meters. However, this ability does not apply to living creatures.
The more complex the changes and manipulations made, the greater the amount of energy required.
___________________
Actually, this sword used to be White Fire, which El had upgraded exclusively.
Now, the sword has risen to a higher level, no longer Bronze, but Silver Tier, and is named Shana.
To reach the Silver Tier, El spent more resources compared to other gear upgrades made by his avatar.
The materials included: Holy Grail Shard, Dragon Monarch Tooth Shard, 100 grams of Mithril, Pinch of Lotus Flame Root, Sword Shard, Swordsman Heart Broken Fable, Magic Core of Fire Type Rank 7 Magic Beast and Lotus Geocentric Flame Seed.
As a result, Shana was born as a sword so beautiful and dazzling, its blade shimmering with a silver-white aura, as if enshrining the light of a sacred flame.
However, despite its incredible power and unparalleled beauty, Shana is not a sword that can be used by just anyone.
Shana has a will of its own, only to be used by someone it finds attractive.
Even naming the sword, El had to think hard for the sword to feel that it was a suitable name. As a result, the name Shana was the one the sword was interested in.
"Shana, the moon in my dreams, lend me your power," El said in a teasing tone.
El's Dou Qi flowed into Shana, instantly, the white short blade turned into energy and lengthened, becoming the elegant Jian Sword.
However, the blade is no longer made of metal, but rather red-hot flames, as El has flowed Beast Flame into it.
This is one of Shana's most ridiculous flaws, this sword will not unleash its full power unless the owner manages to seduce it.
Otherwise, don't expect Shana to show its power.
That's why El was able to use Shana perfectly, even though it was still a Tier 4 Authority, which normally wouldn't be possible with Silver Level Equipment.
Aside from being its creator, El also had an attraction that could draw women, something that even affected the sword's personality.
El himself was confused as to how a sword could have such a unique personality.
However, he decided to forget about that for now and focus on his new Skill experiment. With great concentration, El activated Inverse.
Instantly, his STR, VIT, and AGI increased by 100%, while a crack pattern of red energy appeared on his face, pulsing like a flow of magma.
"This feeling... I guess using it for a long time isn't too burdensome, could the side effects be more severe if I activate Three Changes?" El muttered, trying to understand the Inverse Skill.
Wanting to experiment further, in a steady tone, El activated the Inverse special effect and said, "First change: Nine Colored Piton Flame!"
At that instant, El's body underwent further transformation. The tips of his two ears tapered slightly, resembling the characteristics of the Snake People Race.
Meanwhile, the energy cracks in his skin faded away, replaced by shimmering white scales with gradations of nine colors appearing on some parts of his body.
His STR, VIT, and AGI increased by 25% again. With his body growing stronger and more agile, El soared through the air, beginning to swing at Shana with mesmerizing beauty.
His sword danced in the sky, forming a Hinokami Kagura attack pattern, a fiery sword dance, emitting a majestic aura of fire.
10 minutes later, when it entered the middle of the dance, El immediately activated the Second Change: Ash Flame.
Instantly, his body and clothes were enveloped in a mist of white flames, while his long hair turned pure white, shimmering like glowing ash.
Two shawls of fire mist formed around his arms, dangling gently as if dancing under the invisible breeze, adding a divine impression to his figure that now looked like a fire god descending into the mortal world.
Behind El, for a moment a Phoenix in the form of white mist spread its pair of wings, pulsing slowly with an intimidating aura, as if ready to burn anything that dared to come close.
"Kiaaak!" a huge, savage screech sounded, before the Phoenix disappeared again.
In an instant, incredible power rushed through its body. The increase from the Second Change was much greater, with STR, VIT, AGI and even INT increasing by 100%.
Shana's blade, previously a red flame due to the Nine Color Piton Flame, now turned white, emitting light that seemed to come from the core of the fire mist itself.
With a total increase of 225%, El completed the Sun Breathing Style form with incredible speed.
Each swing of his sword produced a trail of flames that carved the sky, as if dancing with the sunlight.
But, wanting to test the limits of his strength, El extended the duration of the dance.
With a powerful foot stomp, he leapt higher, piercing the sky until he was above the clouds.
There, El danced gracefully, slashing at the clouds around him with Shana.
Instantly, an exotic scene was created.
With a slight change in energy, El changed the Ash Mist Flame's attribute to extreme cold, causing snow to fall in Medicine Valley, even though it was not the season.
It continued to dance in the sky, for 10 minutes letting the snowflakes fall, creating an unprecedentedly beautiful panorama.
After an additional 10 minutes, the dance came to an end, the white flames also seemed to fade with the exhaustion of using too much Dou Qi and El jumped back down to the ground.
At that moment, a tremendous fatigue and headache hit him. The white flames enveloping his body were extinguished, swept away by the pain that radiated from head to toe.
"Ugh... Argh..." El growled, feeling like his muscles were being torn, his soul was on fire, and his mental state was being squeezed.
His body could no longer bear such extreme side effects from the power he was using.
With a gasp, El fell on his stomach on the ground, no longer able to move... other than feeling crippling agony and sweating a cold heat that was extremely dangerous for normal humans.
With great effort, El tried to move her body that was nearly paralyzed from the side effects of the transformation.
Feeling he could wait no longer, he forced himself to activate Rinnegan, then Ashura Path, turning his body completely mechanical.
His mechanical body could now ignore pain and move unaffected by injury, though it risked further damaging its structure.
With stiff yet controlled movements, El raised his hand and took out three Health Pill and an Energy Pill, immediately swallowing them in one go.
The pills began to work, restoring the side effects of the transformation, while also repairing the damage from the forced movements using the Ashura Path.
After feeling the recovery, El let out a long breath and deactivated Rinnegan and Ashura Path.
"Damn... It turns out that the side effects of using special effects are no joke," he muttered, still feeling the residual fatigue in his body. "Even after taking the Pill, the side effects still linger."
Slowly, El got up from the ground, patting his dirty clothes to remove the dust and soil residue.
"Looks like I have to use it wisely, right... Master?" he said unconsciously, then fell silent.
His consciousness instantly returned, Yuri... was no longer in his body.
El's gaze dimmed, his eyes filled with deep sadness. However, he immediately took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
It was not good to continue to drown in sadness.
"Well, since I've accomplished all my goals," El said with a faint smile.
He then continued, "System, I want to return to the Reincarnation Room now."
Ding!
As soon as the notification sound was heard, El's body slowly faded away, turning into grains of light that flew like sand in the wind. Within seconds, he disappeared without a trace.
