The First Store System

[Name: Bastion of Dread

Type: Defense

Level: God

Element: Dread

Cultivation Level: Early to peak Supreme God

Effect: Summons a barrier of shadows and illusions that instills paralyzing fear in attackers and absorbs incoming damage

Description: The skill taps into the essence of dread to create a defensive fortress. This skill forms a barrier of shadows and illusions that instills fear in attackers. It absorbs the incoming damage, turns it into dreadful energy, and reflects a portion of that energy to the attacker.

It demands profound understanding and control over the element of dread and the ability to channel negative energies. The stress on the user's spirit is immense and requires a strong will and mental fortitude to keep the barrier active.

Price: 4 ultimate Sacred stones.]

Huan and the creature nodded in appreciation after reading the skill's details. It was his eighteenth turn, but he had finally gotten a skill that forced the creature to go wild immediately after reading the description.

The barrier not only used attacks to reflect them back to enemies, but it also formed a self-sufficient channel. Around 10% of the transformed dread would be used to reflect, while the remaining almost 90% would reinforce the shield.

The only side-effect was that the dread would also affect the user to some extent, so if the user wasn't very careful and didn't have a strong will, they might become prey to their attack.

Time flew by, and soon, it was time for Huan to pick the last of the five types of skills.

He reached for the last shelf in the top row and pulled out a card. He liked what he saw, but after selecting four types of skills already, he wanted even better ones, so he returned the card and pulled out another one.

Several minutes later, Huan had returned around ten thousand different element skills. He was going to do that unless he was satisfied, so he pulled out another one.

After waiting for a while, it was his turn. He decided to start with the combination type skill first since it was the only card that had a note written at the end. And he was also very excited to see what the best of a type had to offer.

He placed the card in the card compartment, and the next moment, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment.

His cultivation had dropped to the peak of the Supreme God, and for some reason, despite the surroundings being eerie, he felt the most comfortable that time.

The creature in his consciousness also followed him to the experience area and looked excited as it saw the surroundings. For others, it was the den of negative energy, but for it and Huan, it was an environment that treated them like how a gentle mother embraces her son.

The surroundings had illusions appearing and disappearing from time to time, and every time, it was some creature that couldn't be directly looked at.

Hua! Hua!

Suddenly, sounds rang in the area as the eerieness began to disappear, and a group of people in white, shining armor approached him.

They had angry faces since Huan was an evil abomination for them. Suddenly, the creature who led the charge pointed his spear toward Huan and said something in his native tongue.

Despite hearing that tongue for the first time, Huan immediately understood what the leader of the group meant, and he couldn't help but become angry upon hearing it.

"Fuck these bastards. Let me take control!"

The creature had the same reaction, so it yelled out in anger. Huan had no issues with it, so he immediately switched with the creature.

But the expression suddenly froze since he finally noticed that his body wasn't in his or the creature's control. They were just here to experience the skill from the first point of view.

Roar!

The creature let out an angry roar after learning that but shut it off immediately after Huan angrily cursed the creature for disturbing the experience.
