Ding!

Accompanied with a soft chime sound, a small screen containing information on Basic Shamanic Summoning Arts appeared in front of Valyr’s field of vision, prompting the young man to take a look at it.

Basic Shamanic Summoning Arts (Level 1

/10)

Rarity: Common

Originally a haphazard attempt by the Sage of Erudition in modifying the unique summoning arts of the orcs to fit the capabilities of human summoners, this skill has given great attention by the Sage of Erudition in his later years, allowing its foundational levels to be sturdy and have no problems. However, due to the Sage of Erudition meeting an untimely death, the final stages of the skill have yet to be finalized.

And thus, he passes it onto you.

This skill allows the user to tap into the unique summoning arts of the orcs, giving the user the capability to summon beasts that have been specifically tamed and trained by the orcs to accompany them in the wake of battle: the Orcbeasts. Orcbeasts summoned through this skill scale off the user’s stats at the moment they are summoned, with the user gaining the option to either consciously control their every movement or give simple orders that they shall unhesitatingly obey.

Orcbeasts currently able for summoning: Arx’has Boar

Maximum number of Orcbeasts: 2

Cooldown: 1 minute

Cost: Depending on the summoned Orcbeast

‘He said back then that he made this skill in passing after talking to a few human summoners, but this skill says that he actually put in a great amount of effort into refining it.’ Refreshing his knowledge regarding the capabilities of the summoning skill An’xhur had given him, Valyr thought about the words the half-orc had said to him about the skill before they parted ways.

‘I don’t know if he just wanted to downplay the fact he put in effort into the skill, or if it was a project he was embarking in secret to try and improve the relationship between the humans and the orcs even more.’ Inwardly shrugging his shoulders as his mind briefly thought about what-ifs, Valyr then commanded the system to bring up the description of the only Orcbeast he could summon through the skill, causing another screen to appear in front of his field of vision seconds later.

Arx’has Boar

The Arx’has Boar is a species of boar native to the Khagarax Empire, achieved through multiple generations of selective breeding by the combat researchers of the orc race. Because of this, these boars have great resilience, strength, and speed, acting as mounts that orc warriors would generally use on the battlefield.

However, due to the exact same reason why these boars have superb physical capabilities, their mental capabilities have become affected, with their mental fortitude weak enough to instantly turn tail and run under the presence of a mighty foe.

Once summoned through the Basic Shamanic Summoning Arts, this boar shall have 25% of the user’s VIT, STR, AGI, and DEX, 10% of the user’s INT and WIS, and 15% of the user’s PER and LUK.

Cost to summon: 1,000 MP

‘That’s actually pretty good.’ Closing the two screens before him after he was done reading, Valyr’s eyes slightly widened in surprise as he thought about the stats the Arx’has Boar would get once it was summoned. Compared to the summoning skill that came with his spear, Basic Shamanic Summoning Arts was leagues ahead in terms of flexibility and performance.

‘Hmm…’ As the gears in his mind turned for a bit, the young man eventually brought out a couple of Skill Keys from his spatial bracelet, spending over 80,000 XP to bring the skill to its max level before proceeding to evolve it to the next grade with a Common grade Skill Key.

Ding!

Would you like to use 1 Common Skill Key and spend 100,000 XP to evolve ‘Basic Shamanic Summoning Arts’ to the next grade?

“Of course.” Hearing the prompt resound in his mind, a faint smile flashed on Valyr’s face as he proceeded to confirm his choice to evolve the skill.

Ding!

You have successfully evolved ‘Basic Shamanic Summoning Arts’ to Uncommon grade.

The skill ‘Basic Shamanic Summoning Arts’ has evolved to ‘Intermediate Shamanic Summoning Arts’ due to the change in grade.

After looking through the notifications he had just received, Valyr went ahead and brought up the description of the newly evolved skill, wanting to see what changes had occurred.𝒪𝗏𝗅xt.𝕔𝒐𝐌

‘Oh?’ Unsurprisingly, it did not take long for the young man to notice a couple of large changes to the functionality of the skill, becoming silent for a bit before proceeding to spend a single Uncommon grade Skill Key and a bit over 900,000 XP to improve the skill to its max level.

Ding!

You have upgraded the skill ‘Intermediate Shamanic Summoning Arts’ to Level 20 (MAX).

You do not meet the requirements necessary to evolve the skill to a higher grade.

Taking in a deep breath as thoughts of whether he had made the right choice or not started to fill his mind, Valyr went ahead and brought up the description of the skill once more, hoping to see that the choice he had made was, in fact, correct.

Fortunately, after reading through its description, he became more certain that it was.

Intermediate Shamanic Summoning Arts (Level 20

/20)

Rarity: Uncommon

Originally a haphazard… description has been omitted.

This skill also allows the user to spend more mana in the summoning process of the Orcbeasts, granting them the ability to improve their stats and evolve the more they fight, consuming part of the XP the user gains during these fights in the process.

Eventually, once these Orcbeasts have improved enough, they would gain sentience and become beings that do not fall under the control of the skill. However, these sentient Orcbeasts still have undying loyalty to the user that has summoned them.

Orcbeasts currently able for summoning: Arx’has Boar

Maximum number of Orcbeasts: 5

Cooldown: 1 minute

Cost (Normal Summoning): Depending on the summoned Orcbeast

Cost (Growth Summoning): 3x the cost of the summoned Orcbeast
