NovelEnglishI still didn’t like that we fought a boss and Lydia was no stronger for it. Therefore, I decided her reward for this fight would be a combination skill. We went over the list of swordsman skills, commoner skills, and scout skills to see if there was anything worth keeping. Most skills were status increases, vaguely helpful abilities, and a few special attacks. Well, that wasn’t the case with Commoner. The abilities for commoner were laughably weak. Danger Sense, Learning Up, Weak Disease Resistance, Social Up, Hide, Focus Up, and things like that. Actually, Learning Up wasn’t half bad. It was used to help you gain another job, but if you could equip two jobs like me, couldn’t Learning Up help me master skills and maybe even level faster? Well, that was my thought process.

I too had Evil Eye, it allowed me to scout out weaknesses of enemies. She had gained her Evil Eye as a scout. What would fairy dust enhanced Evil Eye be like? Unfortunately, as far as I knew, even the adventurer’s didn’t know anything about combination skills. They seemed to involve combining a skill with an alternative form of mana product. So far, spirit fire and faerie dust were the only two I knew of. There were probably others. Maybe mermaid tears? Well, I didn’t plan to find a mermaid and test it anyway. Each person could only combine one skill with each mana form to create a different skill. That new skill can apparently be a skill you can unlock through your job but at a higher level. So, at least in my mind, it was like casting a spell with a reagent. In this case, we were creating a reagent to cast a high skill ability or an ability outside the job range than we’d normally be capable of.
A spiritualist probably would gain resurrection eventually. I could also gain resurrection using my dungeon points, although it was a second-tier ability. As for priests, I had no clue what level they gained resurrection. Or was it even a level? Since only priests knew resurrection, there could be some other trick going on that no one knows about, like a mass-produced item. I really wanted to meet Chalm’s Priest and see what I could learn from him, but the Guild Master had told me that all priests were very tight-lipped when it came to their abilities. He guessed resurrection was a level 30 ability, as most priests he’d seen cast it were older, but it was still common enough that there was no shortage.
“Alright, let’s try Evil Eye,” I said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI learned with Resurrection that guessing what ability would pop out was impossible. Since combinations weren’t studied in this world, we’d just have to try and see what happened. I also wanted Lydia to become a better scout, so making any ability that helped her read the enemies into a higher tier spell sounded like a good idea to me. Sprinkling some fairy dust on her, I allowed her to absorb the mana and combine it so that she gained a new skill.
“What did you get? I asked excitedly.”
Lydia looked around, her eyes wide with surprise. “Master… what does it mean, Other Worlder?”
“Huh?” I blinked. “Is that your skill?
Lydia shook her head. “No… the skill is called God Eye, but when I look at you, it says your species in ‘Other Worlder’.”
“I see…”
