I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Sofia followed Fein's advice. She closed his eyes trying to fully concentrate. Just like that, she guided her mental and degu energy towards the weird black thing in her mind.

Suddenly, the rectangular diamond thing that was made of black mist trembled and started to release a black light.

Fein looked at the sudden change that was happening to Sofia. He canceled his Chess Perception and distances himself from Sofia. He watch carefully as raging black light seep of from her and started spreading from the surrounding. Seeing that the black light was spreading nearer to his current position and still didn't show signs of stopping. He decided to run, but as he was about to run, his system's timely reminder came.

*Ding!*

[Dark Domain- The surrounding 500 meters from the user would be enveloped by dark energy. It would change the place thoroughly making the terrain advantageous to the user. The user would have the authority to manipulate the dark light inside the domain. The dark energy would multiply the user's overall strength by 10x!]

Seeing the ridiculous effect of her domain, Fein was astounded. He knew that whatever the black energy is would help Sofia tremendously. He was excited about what it can do.

"Probe!" After activating the skill, Sofia's updated information appeared.

"This is ridiculous!" Fein exclaimed after seeing the ridiculous upgrade the energy gave Sofia.

Sofia managed to surpass him in terms of Degu amount!

Fein suddenly felt a strong fighting intent in the distance. Sofia suddenly appeared in front of him. "Let's continue our battle"

Fein was startled after seeing Sofia suddenly appear in front of him. Even with his high perception, he didn't notice his presence at all.

"So dark energy also conceals your presence huh?"

Sofia shrugged. "Probably"

Fein decided to get serious now because Sofia now had the advantage. He retrieved Lapu Lapu's sword and the Death touch dagger that was stored in his special storage ever since he receive it. Because he was more comfortable using a sword than a dagger.

After that, he concentrated and instantly entered the state of Chess Perception.

"Let's see what is stronger. Your dark domain or my Chess Perception" Fein smirked.

...

Sofia's POV

I felt a lot different than before after I activated my Domain. It's not just a boost in power but a boost in the realm. I even have a feeling that I can break the sky with one punch. But I knew that this was just an illusion brought by the sudden increase of strength.

Hearing Fein's challenging words, I was also curious about whose domain is better. Apparently, what he used to fend off my blood bullets earlier is his Domain called "Chess Perception".

I tried to control the dark light hovering in the surrounding. Then I felt it... As if the darkness in the surrounding became part of my body. I can control them as easily as how I move my arms and feet. This feeling is exhilarating. I manipulated the dark energy to form the shape of a scythe. I felt that this energy was more flexible and powerful than my current blood power.

Fein who was watching me condensed my weapon and also activated his Chess Perception. Suddenly I felt different energy that I didn't manage to feel before. This energy is gentle, but I also feel an ominous threat from it.

'So this is Chess Perception'

I quickly held the dark scythe in my right arm and clenched it tightly. And dashed using my full speed which was 10x faster than before.

I saw Fein just stand there. I guess that he was unable to move while he was using his domain.

I swunged my right hand in his direction intending to slash him. As the scythe was made of dark energy, I felt that it was an extension of my body. So after it manages to enter the round blue sphere around Fein. I suddenly felt a resistance. I turned to the thing that block it, and it was his sword.

"Caught you!" I grinned.

As I manipulated the dark energy in the back of Fein to fake the shape of sharp thorns that attacked him.

Fein didn't even look behind as if he has an eye on his back. His dagger flashed instantly.

I only saw how his hand like an afterimage sliced my dark energy in seconds.

Although my speed was boosted making me equal to him when comparing our base stats. But after fighting, I figured that what made the difference between our speed is his technique. Probably some assassination technique and his experience in battle. Every inch of his moves felt calculated. His micropositioning was perfect and every one of his moves had a purpose.

"Giving up already?" Fein said provocatively.

"Hmmph..." I snorted feeling frustrated that I still can't him. "Stop provoking me, you won't succeed."

Fein just chuckled in response to my statement.

,m Suddenly a good idea appeared in my mind that would give me an advantage in our fight.

What if I combined my blood and dark energy? Wouldn't it make my attack stronger and more lethal!? I became excited as my train of thought continues and I became more convinced.

As I was about to do it, I saw Fein cancel his Chess Perception and heard him say in a low voice. "It's time to end this."

"Eagle Style: Crescent Slash!"

I only manage to see a huge slash that forcibly cut my domain in half. Suddenly my vision was sucked by darkness as I fell unconscious due to the backlash of my ability.
