Spiritual skills are the skills that can directly affect your soul and mind. Earlier the rhino used a spiritual skill that was directly able to affect his mind.
According to what Evan knows the power of spiritual skills depends on the strength of your soul.
Evan himself doesn't know much about soul and spiritual skills since there is not much information available about them.
But he does know the stronger your soul is, the more powerful your spiritual skill will be, and if you use spiritual skills against someone whose soul power is stronger than you, then there is a very high chance the skill won't work on him and you might even receive a backlash because of it.
Before meeting Rhino Evan never encounter someone who used a spiritual skill against him.
But after facing the rhino Evan started to doubt that his soul is quite weak.
When the rhino used its skill he felt like his head was about to burst open.
He wasn't sure, but he has a feeling that if he didn't escape using shadow walk his head might have really exploded at that time.
That rhino was just a C rank monster, and even if he doesn't take his monarch core into account, his prime core is already at D+ rank.
Even though the gap between the D+ rank and the C rank is quite big, he still felt the effect of that skill was very high.
"Was the skill of that rhino is too powerful or is there a problem with my soul?" Evan muttered while sating up.
If it is the first case then he was just unlucky to encounter a rare monster who had a powerful spiritual skill.
But if it is the latter case then he knew he is in deep trouble.
If his soul is really weaker than other hunters, then people who have spiritual skills will be able to deal with him easily.
No matter how strong his body is, or how much mana he has, if his soul is not strong enough a person with a spiritual skill will be able to deal with him easily.
If his soul is weak and he encounters someone who has spiritual skill he will not be able to resist against them.
"I was careless because I never thought about this problem" Evan muttered while sighing.
He should have thought about the problem of his soul earlier. He is not a normal person, he was transmigrated here, so the chances of his soul being different from other hunters were very high.
"It is good that spiritual type skills are very rare, and not many people have them in the world," Evan said and stood up.
Unlike normal skills, spiritual skills are very rare, and very few peoples have them.
Other than naturally awakening a spiritual skill or getting it through a skill scroll, there is another way you can get a spiritual skill which is to create your own spiritual skill.
When a hunter reaches A rank, he will get a skill name spiritual sense.
This skill is similar to the divine sense that he read about in the cultivation novels.
After awakening spiritual sense the precaution of a hunter increased greatly. Plus he will be able to sense a long range of area around him even with his eyes closed.
The power of your spiritual sense also depends on your soul power.
But other than these simple things, you will be able to create your own spiritual skills after opening your spiritual sense.
But creating a spiritual skill is a very difficult task and very few people can create them.
"Even if there is nothing wrong with my soul, and I assume it was all because the skill of that rhino was too strong, I should still try to strengthen my soul. It is not like it will be a bad thing to strengthen my soul" Evan muttered and started to look for the core of the rhino.
There are a few ways to increase the power of your soul.
But the most common method is to use a potion to increase the power of the soul.
Even though he decided to use potions that can increase the power of his soul, Evan knew it is not going to be an easy task.
The first problem is the price of these types of potions. Potions that can increase the power of souls are very expensive. Evan wasn't even sure just how much money he will have to spend in order to buy just one potion.
Second, very few people can create potions that can strengthen souls which is why they are very rare, and without connections, he wasn't sure he will be able to buy a potion like that even if he has enough money in his hand.
'Forget it, I will think about it after returning to Astrate city' Evan thought and was finally able to open a wound near the heart area of the rhino.
After opening the wound he looked for the core. After a moment his eyes lit up when he found a small silver colored core from the rhino.
"At least I got something after feeling that terrible headache" Evan muttered and went toward the monster that rhino was eating when he arrived there.
The monster it was eating was a bulldeer. They had a body that looks like deer, but their size and face looks similar to bulls.
The body of the bull deer was mostly fine, and wasn't damaged much.
Evan looked near its heart area for the core and was surprised when he really found a core from it.
"Two C rank cores, not bad not bad," Evan said in a pleased voice, and after washing both of the cores he put the core he got from the bulldeer into his mouth.
The core turned into energy and rushed towards his monarch core increasing his power slightly.
After absorbing the core of the bulldeer he placed the core of the rhino into his mouth, this core also turned into energy and was absorbed by his monarch core.
"The feeling of getting stronger is truly addicting" Evan muttered when all the energy of the core was absorbed by him.
Just as he was about to move away to look for other monsters, Evan stopped because a notification appeared before him.
