An S-ranked Party’s Burden Tamer, I Awoke My True Power by Having My Familiar Killed

Chapter 52: Unique Skills

“How many skills did you acquire?”
“Four. One unique skill and three extra skills.”
“Another unique skill… You’re starting to become a monster, aren’t you?”
“How rude…”

Judging from Milim’s reaction, unique skills seemed to be more amazing than I thought.
I mean, I knew they were impressive, but… Even in my previous party, I know that Fade didn’t have any unique skills, and I don’t think the other members had any besides Quella.
In other words, even though I’m still a novice, having a unique skill is something that only a Saint-level person can have.

“Having just one unique skill would make you one of the strongest. Something’s wrong with you.”
“I don’t even feel it anymore with my third one.”
“Well, it’s a waste if you don’t learn to use them.”
“That’s true.”

I do want to try using them and get used to them, but it seems that this time’s unique skill is not something that can’t be used or done.

“Unique skills are like… symbols of that race or individual, and they’re not something used for a single purpose.”
“Meaning…?”
“Like this 『Twilight Champion』 that you got this time, it’s a skill equivalent to my 『Dark Ruler』, and it has the ability to influence everything related to twilight… It’s hard to explain!”

Milim panicked.
‘But wait, twilight is a type of dark magic that has the power of death. Being able to influence everything related to it…?’
‘I really didn’t understand it.’

“Well, we’ll grasp the overall picture gradually. But what can we do now?”
“Good question! All dark magic in general is greatly enhanced, and you can try to control the opponent’s dark magic. That’s how I was able to change the flow of the miasma.”
“Huh…?”

Being able to interfere with the opponent’s magic… is amazing? I mean, it’s already so amazing that I can’t imagine it.

“Of course, skill proficiency is also necessary, and if you try to take control without being good at it, both the opponent and yourself will only receive negative effects. Especially for dark magic.”
“Well, that’s true.”

Dark magic is often powerful but difficult to handle.
It’s unlikely to be able to take control of something as difficult as this magic from an opponent for a while.
So for now, it’s best to think of this skill as just a huge enhancement for dark magic.
Even so, just being able to greatly enhance it is already at the level of an extra skill.

“Now, how many extra skills do you have?”
“I can’t think of it right away…”
“You’re really a monster…”

Half exasperated by Milim, I turned to the task of confirming my extra skills.
