Chapter 166: Is Legendary The Limit? (1)

He now had enough experience points to upgrade one of his epic skills to legendary-grade!

“In that case, I’ll choose you!”

[Do you want to upgrade One-Step Shift (Epic)?]

“Yes!”

Without hesitation, he made the decision.

The instant he made his choice, a warm, familiar energy began to flow through his body. It wasn’t the first time he had experienced this sensation, but it never ceased to amaze him. The energy felt alive, as though it were a conscious entity searching for something within him.

When it finally found its target, Vincent felt a sudden explosion of power. It was as though a dormant force had been unleashed, tearing through his body and soul.

Bright golden lights erupted from his eyes, their brilliance illuminating the area around him!

[You have successfully upgraded One-Step Shift (Epic) to Spectral Shift (Legendary)!]

As soon as he heard the system’s notification, Vincent couldn’t suppress his curiosity. He immediately opened the system interface to check the detailed information about his newly upgraded, legendary-grade skill.

Name: Spectral Rift

Grade: Legendary

Effect: The skill allows the user to instantly phase up to 200 meters in any chosen direction, completely bypassing all physical and magical barriers. While shifting, the user’s spatial awareness is enhanced, providing extraordinary precision over positioning, even in the most complex environments.

Upon reappearing, the user generates a powerful spectral shockwave that briefly disorients all nearby enemies within a 10-meter radius for 2 seconds.

Additional Effects: After reappearing, the user’s movement speed is increased by an impressive 60% for the next 5 seconds, greatly improving their ability to reposition, evade, or pursue targets. Enemies caught in the shockwave also suffer a 10% reduction in their movement speed for the same duration.

Movement Speed Boost: 60% for 5 seconds

Cooldown: 12 seconds

Consumption: 150 Origin Energy (reduced to 100 at maximum proficiency)

Sub-Skill: Spatial Domain

Effect: The user creates a specialized domain with a 50-meter radius that restricts the use of any spatial movement skills within the area, including their own.

Consumption: 150 Origin Energy

Cooldown: 30 seconds

Duration: The domain remains active as long as the user has sufficient Origin Energy.

“Damn! This is insane…” Vincent muttered under his breath, his eyes widening in disbelief as he read through the skill’s description.

It was clear that this was a massive upgrade from the previous epic-grade effect, but the sheer versatility and power of the skill exceeded even his expectations.

What truly caught him off guard was the sub-skill, Spatial Domain. While it restricted his movement as well, Vincent instantly realized its potential. Against opponents who relied heavily on speed or teleportation abilities, this skill would grant him absolute dominance.

A grin spread across Vincent’s face. He couldn’t wait to test the full extent of his new legendary-grade skill in battle.

As if on cue, a Bloodthorn Behemoth in the distance noticed his presence. Its massive, crimson eyes glowed menacingly, and a guttural growl escaped its throat, echoing through the surroundings like a warning.

Vincent’s grin widened.

“Perfect timing…” he said softly, his voice carrying a mix of anticipation and excitement.

The primal beast seemed to share his intentions, as it began crawling forward, its heavy body causing the ground to tremble. Within moments, it shifted into a full sprint, charging directly at Vincent with frightening speed.

He remained completely still, waiting for the creature to make its move. The Bloodthorn Behemoth, sensing its opportunity, lunged forward, its long, razor-sharp blood claws slashing through the air with deadly precision.

In an instant, Vincent disappeared.

The beast’s claws sliced through nothing but a fading afterimage.

Before the creature could react, Vincent reappeared behind it. The speed of his movement created a shockwave that resonated like a thunderclap, forcing the Bloodthorn Behemoth to stagger.

The beast growled in frustration, its movements sluggish and unsteady from the disorienting shockwave. But it wasn’t ready to give up.

With a roar, it unleashed a barrage of blood-colored thorns in all directions, aiming to catch its elusive target.

Yet, even at such close range, the attack failed. The Bloodthorn Behemoth couldn’t comprehend what was happening. From its perspective, Vincent hadn’t moved.

But in reality, Vincent’s speed was simply beyond its ability to track.

Vincent chuckled, his amusement evident.

Feeling satisfied, he clenched his fist and hurled it forward, channeling the speed force he had mastered during his trials in the Tower of Speed.

His fist vibrated with an intense energy, emitting a sharp, buzzing sound as it struck the creature’s massive, gaping mouth.

Bang!

The impact was catastrophic. The combined force of Vincent’s speed and strength caused the Bloodthorn Behemoth’s massive head to explode into fragments, scattering blood and debris across the battlefield.

The lifeless body of the primal beast crashed heavily onto the ground, its weight creating a thunderous impact.

Moments later, the system confirmed his victory as the creature’s corpse disintegrated into particles of digital light.

[You have successfully killed a Bloodthorn Behemoth (Tier 2★4)!]

[You have received…]

In just one devastating strike, Vincent had taken down the massive primal beast, and his experience bar was nearly half full.

As the digital light particles faded, they left behind dozens of Origin Crystals and a glowing green light orb on the ground.

Vincent wasted no time retrieving them. When he opened the green light orb, it transformed into a pulsing wooden heart that radiated energy.

Item Name: Bloodthorn Behemoth’s Core

Grade: Uncommon

Details: A Tier 2 Bloodthorn Behemoth’s Origin Core, containing residual energy. This item can enhance a primal’s strength.

“Oh, another one of these…” he muttered.

He remembered obtaining a similar core when he defeated the Leafscorcher Tyrannosaurus. However, he hadn’t tested its effects on Mochi yet. Perhaps now was the time.

Afterward, Vincent hunted a few more Bloodthorn Behemoths until his experience bar was completely filled. However, this time, he refrained from immediately upgrading another skill book.

“If I keep burning through resources like this, I might run out someday,” Vincent thought to himself. While this wouldn’t happen anytime soon, he knew it was better to plan ahead.
