923  Chapter 923- Reaching A Bottleneck In Growth (2)

To be able to create one's own skill and pass down a portion of their strength to their subordinates, the enemy had to be incredibly powerful.

Even Simon had a vague idea when it came to the level required to achieve something like that. He was mostly unaware of the realm beyond level 800+.

Be that may, what he had to do didn't change. Since such a powerful enemy was lying in ambush in the shadows for him, he just had to rise up to the challenge and get stronger faster than before.

That's what he had been doing up until now and had to continue to do so. Especially now when the fates of all the people dear to him, depended on him.

"If there is one thing that can quickly allow me to increase my strength, then it is the Celestial Oculairs" Simon touched his left eye.

This peculiar eyeball that he got from the Auction of the Damned, fused with him becoming his current left eye. There were many unknowns about this and even he himself had to fully unlock all of its powers yet.

Simon could tell that the power he used during his fight with the three kings, the one that allowed him to swap with objects and things in a certain area, was just one of the abilities of the eye.

There was still much more to explore, much more to discover.

"If I can master all the abilities of the Celestial Ocularis, my strength will increase manifold" It would take a long and gruelling process to increase his skills and stats.

Whereas, the powers of the Celestial Ocularis which relied on comprehension and suitability was the only thing that could increase his strength in a short term.

Even Irene had said that the mastery of the eye would depend on his ability and destiny. However, once he successfully mastered it, he would be able to get immeasurable strength.

The first ability [Swap] had already proven its worth in the fight making Simon wondered what other abilities the eye hid.

"Other than the eye, there are also the new skills that I need to master" he muttered checking his status window.

Looking at his status, Simon was quite pleased. After his rank increased to Demon Marquess, many of his skills evolved, reaching new tiers. Looking at his status no one would say that it was the status of a Demon Marquess.

That's right, thanks to his intense training and diligent ranking up, the tiers of his skills were higher than the status of most Demon Marquessess.

In fact, when it came to pure skill tiers, he could evenly match with Demon Dukes. That was how absurd Simon's growth had been.

Other than his existing skills ranking up, he also has numerous powerful and high tier skills.

These skills which he got after levelling up to become a Demon Marquess were all double edged skills and had to be mastered before he could use it or else he could end up hurting himself.

It was also the reason why Simon abstained from using them in his fight against the three kings. It was because he had yet to understand these skills fully. If he could master these skills fully, his strength would increase even further.

Other than the skills, there was also the case of his magic. Now that he had reached Level 638 and become a Demon Marquess, all of his magic had increased to a whole new level.

The three basic attributes he had compatibility with, had all reached the Advanced tier. What's more, he was now even able to use the Amalgamation magic of two advanced tier attributes.

Though it does take a toll on his body, it was still doable. As for the Rare Dark magic, he could feel his mastery over it increasing. He felt like it would not be long before he could use the intermediate tier of Dark magic.

"These days I have been working on Amalagamtion Magic of Intermediate tier Flame and Dark magic. However, it seems it's still too difficult"

The Amalgamation magic of other attributes had reached its limit. Now no matter how much he trained or subjected himself to those inhumane training regimes, the level of his Amalgamation magic wasn't increasing.
