In a split of a second before Nirvana's deadly barrage of attacks were to reach them, Kireina swiftly distorted space, trying to escape, and only realizing Nirvana had locked the space where they were.
She was unable to quickly manipulate Space to escape and had to take the hit even if she didn't want to!
"I need more defensive power! Any barrier I make is easily destroyed… I can only rely on physical prowess…!"
"And Skills!"
Skills, they were now more than just little powers, the special System she created, the Origin System, allowed any of its users to refine Primordial Concepts.
And these Concepts were the Skills themselves!
Primordial Concepts were a power that usually, would only be wielded by Star Devourers at Peak Stage, but most of the time those with power above Nebula Rank!
They were a combination of Divinity, Enlightenment, Laws, and Daos, yet Kireina had made a way to easily create and combine them through the incredible Origin System.
And now, she had to rely on the Skills she built trough her adventures in Grand Terra, and combine their prowess.
FLAAASH!
Ding!
[You have exchanged 500 Skill Points!]
[You have combined the [Armored Body: Lv10], [Harden: Lv10] and the [Cocoon of Chaos: Lv--] Skills together!]
Three spheres of pure divine and cosmic light surged from her Soul rotating around her and then fusing together into a single, gigantic sphere.
Three compatible skills, the last of them was actually a Title Skill, which could also be combined with others.
And the result?
TRUUUMMMM…!!!
"Huh?"
Nirvana's face of anger distorted even more, finding out Kireina and Luminous were alive. Luminous turned into light and hid within Kireina's armor.
And this "armor" was giant cocoon-like carapace made of black and dark blue metal, which she had created by fusing several Skills together!
It took all his furious attacks, and it only gained a couple of cracks, falling into pieces after blocking it all…
"U-Unbelievable! A Defense capable of resisting my blows?!" Nirvana was shocked. "That's… What sort of power are you wielding?! Those Skills you've been conjuring, are no mere System things, aren't they?! Genesis System is powerful, but it would never get this far! W-What is this?!"
"Even I surprise myself on my own amazingness." Kireina smiled. "I call it Origin System. It is my ultimate creation. And these Skills… Could be said to be similar to [Primordial Concepts]"
"P-Primordial Concepts?!"
Nirvana only was in the possession of two Primordial Concepts right now, both were incredibly strong, embodying his Wrath and his Harmony, unified by his Mandala Arts.
However, although they were much weaker, as a Skill was only worth perhaps one tenth of an Intermediate Rank Primordial Concept, Kireina still had hundreds of them!
And when she combined those that reached Max Level, meaning that their quality and power has reached the pinnacle.
Skills equal to Upper Rank Primordial Concepts could be created!
The reason why her eyes can glance through all information, the reason her caterpillars could ignore Nirvana's defenses and absorb his power no matter what…
And the reason why her defenses have become unparalleled!
Ding!
[The three Skills have been successfully combined into the Fusion Skill: [Impenetrable Primordial Chaos Armored Cocoon Body: Lv1]!]
[Impenetrable Primordial Chaos Armored Cocoon Body: Lv1]
The Skill Fusion between the [Armored Body: Lv10], [Harden: Lv10] and [Cocoon of Chaos: Lv--] Skills.
By combining and harnessing the power of Primordial Chaos Energy and combine it with any other Energy or Essence the user possesses, it is possible to create powerful defensive armor in the shape of a cocoon or insect-like chitinous exoskeleton.
This armor can be shaped in any way and granted to others, however, once enough time passes, it will naturally disappear and cannot be used as a material by itself.
The special Armor or Cocoon has a Defensive Power of +1000% the user's own Physical and Magical Defenses, with an additional +30% of the user's Health Points as Endurance. Both bonuses increase by +50% and 5% respectively with each Skill Level.
Additionally, whenever a foe inflicts damage on the Durability of the Armor, there's a 30% chance for them to receive back 50% of the damage dealt as Chaos Attribute Magic Damage and Heal 30% of the Damage Dealt as Health and Essence to the user. Activation Chance, Damage Bounce, and Healing Effect increases by +5%, +10%, and +7% with each Skill Level respectively.
Whenever the user is about to be inflicted with large quantities of Damage, the [Primordial Cocoon Armor] Ability activates automatically, surrounding and protecting the body and any nearby ally on a powerful Cocoon that will absorb 100% of the Damage Taken before breaking apart. Consumes large quantities of Essence. Cooldown: 30 Minutes.
The [Cocoon of Chaos: Lv--] Skill Passive Effects remain untouched.
It was an incredibly ridiculous Skill! And the reason she and Luminous were able to survive without taking fatal damage to their bodies or souls was thanks to the [Primordial Cocoon Armor] Ability!
The Cocoon Of Chaos Title granted Kireina bonuses to Experience earned and the rate in which she could learn new Skills and Abilities, and such bonuses remained even after she merged them.
"This is pretty good…" Kireina sighed in relief. "Now, Luminous, are you ready for round two? We've got better defense now. Do you think you can handle the pressure?"
"Fine!" Luminous sighed, his light body suddenly shining brightly, transforming into a bright, golden and white sword.
"[Temporary Egofication]!" Kireina roared.
"Ego?!"
Nirvana stepped back as he saw Kireina transform the powerful God of Grand Terra into a lustrous, golden and divine dragon sword!
FLAAASH!
With Mammon's Axe in one hand, and Luminous Sword in the other, Kireina's Auras overflowed, the Mandala powers she absorbed from Nirvana mixing with Luminous sword form rather excellently well!
"I can't say I like this form but… As we've made a contract between a Dragon and a Master, it can't be helped." Luminous sighed.
"Don't worry, my friend." Kireina laughed. "I'll make sure to cut him into pieces using your blade."
Kireina covered herself with a combination of several Armor Abilities and her new Fusion Skill, resembling a black knightess, reaching Nirvana!
"NIRVANA!"
"YOUU!"
The two clashed against one another, Nirvana slowly being pushed back by Kireina's endless will to improve herself.
