The six skills would release flying arcs all over the place, without the need for me to move a muscle or the glaive.
The glaive would release them like pulses, flying around for miles, before ending up in big explosions.
The seventh, eighth, and ninth skills worked to control the enemies hit by my glaive, mess with their energies in the seventh skill, move them around in the eighth skill, and absorb their energy dry at the ninth skill.
The tenth was something that made me recall what my glaive did before the Exomachines and I couldn't get what happened.
"A retro demotion skill… Quite fierce!"
Anyone in this life would get to his current level of strength by training and climbing through their own paths of power and evolution.
And my tenth glaive skill played on such an aspect, affecting those who got hit with such skill, making them walk down the paths they already crossed, getting much weaker like they were a few years ago.
Thinking about that made me recall what happened to the Exomachines. If my glaive could make them return back in their path of evolution, wasting years of effort, then it was logical for them to end up in such a stiff and malfunctioning state.
It was like the glaive turned them back into half finished products, unable to move or do anything, acting as if they were quite paralysed and dead.
Learning about this made me instantly grow happy. That meant my precious faulted Exomachines didn't get damaged, and they could be restored back to their prime form again.
Damn! I now wanted to go back, give the research department these scary folks and let them study them now more than later.
"Tsk! I have to wait then and try to get more of these faulted Exomachines," I also prayed that my scary attack from before would also be the same.
If so, then I could have all the Exomachines I wanted from the enemy, even after releasing my deadly pillar's shield offensive attacks without any worry.
I waved my glaive, and felt how little heavy it became. Soon I realised that it was great to just wield it without the need of any sacrifice.
"Tsk! I grew used to holding it after boosting my strength, to the extent that I totally forgot about my past struggle to just lift it up," I couldn't help but bitterly smile, while recalling those past memories of my failed attempts to wield it.
I gained my glaive at the same time I gained my chariot. But I had no way to use it except to let it fall down on the heads of my enemies like a meteor or something.
It wasn't until a long time later that I upgraded my class and gained that sacrificial abilities. With it, I could finally fulfil my dream to wield this weapon.
So feeling it a little heavy now wasn't an issue. I could easily lift, wave, and even jump while holding it. And that all happened without the need to boost any of my strength.
"That reminds me… If I use my sacrifice now, what will be the result?" I wanted to test it, but my curiosity to check more of the newly evolved gears made me postpone such a thing for now.
I was going to boost my speed and my chariot's speed as well soon anyway. So I'd also boost my strength and defence, see what changed in all of them.
After checking my chariot's and glaive's changes, it was time to check over my next most used artefact, the pillar.
The pillar already got boosted before, and that made me not expect too much of it anyway. However…
"Damn fierce! Damn! That's… Epic!" When I read what that pillar could do now, I couldn't help but suck in the cold air of breath.
The pillar was able to form eternal shields, using the damage caused on it to sustain and repair itself. It also could release an attack based on the amount of energy stored, or the energy I'd pour into it using the pillar.
However that was in the past! Right now the pillar changed its outer appearance, forming something like a glove that merged with my right arm.
It could be separated, but as it was covering my right arm, I could use it while holding other artefacts in my hand.
That was enough to make me thrilled! It was as if I got one more arm or something. But that wasn't what made me feel this shock.
The effects that pillar had, the abilities that I could unleash from it were the true reason behind my reaction.
The pillar that could be used to defend and attack had many limitations. For example, I could only defend a certain area of land that was centred around my pillar.
At the same time, using more shields at the same time wouldn't greatly affect the reach of the shield, only add more to its defence.
I also met many situations where the shields of my pillar would get suppressed. Just like the moments when I faced the brutal shield of the fiends protecting the portals.
Another limitation was related to the offensive part of the pillar. I could only use the offensive attack outwards, not inwards. Not to mention my forces were also endangered by such an attack.
All of this changed now!
First, the shield summoned by my pillar could be thrown anywhere as long as I keep it in my mind.
That was something entirely different than before! I would just need to think about a place, and as long as it was part of the same world I was in, that place would have a shield appearing there!
That was an entirely new world to me… I didn't need now to run around like crazy, store places and jump in between them to just use my shields.
I would just need to visit a place once, and I could use the shields at any of these places.
