〖Master I got some good news to share as well. However, I'll let you check on your Special Abilities first.〗Silveria said to Alex who was eager to learn more about his Special Abilities that appeared out of nowhere. Probably because he met some requirements for them to appear or it was the doing of the pill (converted Wyvern's heart) ingested.
''Oh? I'm impatient then. However, I will check my Special Abilities first.'' Alex said before reading the description of his first Special Ability.
[Danger Sense: From now on you will have a strong dodge intuitive ability. And when you're unprepared or you are being attacked by unseen enemies, you can retain the reflexive dodge ability brought by your Agility.
Also, you will have a six sense, which will help you feel an attack in advance. This prediction ability is affected by your Intelligence, it's to say the higher is your Intelligence, the stronger is your ability to predict.
Note: It's a passive ability.]
''Nice ability, with this ability I'll be immune to sneak attack. I need to increase my INT to benefit completely from this ability.'' Alex said before distributing his unused BP.

Alex hastily stopped speaking before disappearing from the place he sat to reappear twenty meters away. He didn't even use any skill, he just jumped back.
A Poison toad attacked him by spitting its poison, if his Six sense had not warned him he would be poisoned by now. The Poison toad was astonished because its surprise attack failed.
''It has been a long time since I last fought against one of your kind,'' Alex said before throwing a knife at the still surprised toad.
The Silver Bettie's was too fast for the Poison toad to react, the poor toad died with its head burst open due to the sheer force behind the thrown knife.
Alex ordered and the Silver Bettie's reappeared in his hand, its speed was fast almost akin to teleportation. After collecting the usual materials from the dead toad Alex left his current location because the dead monster may draw some monsters toward it.
Unnamed waterfall, the core region of the Mira forest.
Alex sat on a rock near the river and inhaled some fresh air before checking the description of his second Special Ability.
[Overdrive: It's an ability that enables you to gain a temporary boost of level by sacrificing some of your stats. There are two levels of Overdrive.
1st Level Overdrive: By sacrificing 10% of your stats ( DEF, AGI, INT, LUK) you will temporarily gain 5 levels.
2sd Level Overdrive (Limit Break): By sacrificing 15% of your stats ( DEF, AGI, INT, LUK) you will temporarily gain 10 levels.
Note: After using the 1st Overdrive you will be unable to fight for half of a day while after using Overdrive (Limit Break) you will be unable to fight for three days. Your body will suffer internal damage, you may even lose consciousness.
Also the sacrificed stats will be recovered later. For the first Overdrive it will be after three days while for the second, it will be after a week to a month. However, after waking up you will be unable to use Overdrive for a week.]
Alex sucked a mouthful of air while doing a quick calculation. If he were to sacrifice 10% of his stats ( DEF, AGI, INT, LUK) he will temporary gains 5 Levels, it was to say if he uses it at his current level he will become 40 during 30 seconds.
In the case he uses Overdrive (Limit Break) he will become Level 45 (a temporary increase of 10 levels) for a short 15 seconds, however, one can do a lot of things in 15 Seconds.
This ability's a double-edged sword, one must think carefully before trying to use it because the consequences of using it are not small, let's imagine you became unable to fight for half a day and at that time someone sneaks to attack you? Unable to defend yourself you'll die. The penalties for using Overdrive: Limit Break are harsh however considering what the skill offer it was understandable.
〖Overdrive is a good power booster however the consequences after using it are dire especially the second level. You will lose consciousness and in the case, you don't manage to finish the enemy you'll die. I do hope Master you will consider it before using it.〗
'I know. Let's hope the day I will use this ability never come.' Alex thought.
However soon he will know how wrong he was.
''Okay dear Sil, time to tell me about the good news you were talking about,'' Alex said switching the subject.
〖Master do you remember that it's cost 50 MP per bullet?〗Silveria asked.
''I do. Why do you ask?"
〖It's because now you only need 25 MP to create a normal bullet. And I forget to tell you previously, the stronger is your ATK stat the more powerful your bullets will be.〗
''Amazing. With my current MP, I can fire 92 normal bullets. Tell me why the amount needed to create a normal bullet decreased so suddenly?" Alex asked trying to understand the reason for this sudden decrease.
〖It's simply because you becoming stronger and more importantly it's because I almost removed most of my seals.〗
''I see. I like the second reason more and I do hope the day you'll turn free, a normal bullet will be free.'' Alex said with a smile.
〖Why not wish for other bullets to be free as well you greedy Master.〗
''Come on I'm not that greedy hence I won't wish for it.''
〖Oh? So you are aware that you are greedy?〗
''I'm well aware of this fact but do tell me in life who isn't greedy?" Alex asked amused.
〖Me for example.〗Silveria said, she sounds so serious that Alex was lost of words.
''Tell me about your new abilities or New bullets you have unlocked,'' Alex asked, diverting the subject to another one.
Sighing Silveria started to explain,
〖I have unlocked four New abilities, well bullets to say.〗
〖✒ Piercing Bullet: As the name suggests it is a bullet with stronger penetrative force.
✒ Vanishing Bullet: Remove presence. The effect is dispelled upon taking any damage.
Note: It can be used on others
✒ Phantom Bullet: A special bullet with extremely strong penetrative and destructive force. It's an invisible bullet.
✒ Dispel Bullet: Can temporarily reduce the target's attack power.
The duration will depend on the target's level.
That's some powerful abilities. Alex thought.
Alex smiled before summoning Silveria and aimed it at the rock fifteen meters to his left.
The upper part of the was blasted into smithereens.
''Nice bullet. I didn't even saw it, all I saw is the damage it has done.'' Alex said with a wide grin, this bullet drains too much of MP still it's worth it, this is the most powerful of his bullets. He couldn't wait to test it on some powerful enemies.
〖I was sure you will try one of the new bullets and I was betting on the third one. You did not disappoint me.〗
''Good to know. Time to massacre some monsters.'' Alex suddenly said.
〖I thought you will say that. Indeed it's time to massacre some monsters. Fufufu, I can't wait to taste some blood.〗Silveria said in a creepy tone.
''Gross,'' Alex said before kicking the ground and disappeared into the forest.
