The Host is granted the ability to neutralize the skills of a targeted enemy. Each skill neutralized temporarily costs the Host access to one Attribute stat per neutralized skill.

INNATE EXCLUSIVE SKILLS:

With the help of the Modified Enlightenment Incenses, Jay’s comprehension speed had risen dramatically.

In just ten days, despite splitting his focus between cultivating Origin Physique and training masteries whenever he had spare moments, he had raised║NEUTRALIZER║to Grade-4 Mastery.

This book was originally published on novelbuddy. Check it out there for the real experience.

While continuing to evade the barrage of metallic spikes, Jay activated the Unique Talent on the monster.

A screen appeared before him, listing all the skills and abilities he could neutralize, along with the cost required to do so.

His eyes immediately locked onto the monster’s Domain.

Since it was a Grade-7 ability, and because the stat cost increased tenfold for each additional grade of Neutralization Mastery, it would cost him 1000 stats to neutralize it.

There were other options as well. He could neutralize the monster’s innate talent and, to his surprise, even the very energy it wielded.

However, the cost was ten times higher. He would need to temporarily sacrifice 10,000 stats to neutralize the monster’s Energy.

It was an enormous cost. But the significance of neutralizing an opponent’s Energy was undeniable.

For the first three stages of Mastery, one could only use their basic element or Aura. After reaching Stage-4, that element or Aura would evolve into a higher form.

When Mastery reached Stage-7, the higher element or Aura would evolve into Energy.

This marks a major breakthrough in both power and versatility. Without Energy, a Domain would become meaningless.

For Tier-7 lifeforms and above, losing access to Energy was equivalent to being crippled.

If two Tier-7 opponents of equal strength fought, and one couldn’t use Energy, their defeat would be inevitable.

For Jay, who could not freely use Energy and relied mostly on his stats, this would place him on equal ground.

Hey Folks, sorry for the inconvenience. I wanted to give a small update regarding Volume 4 and future chapter releases.

To be honest, because of piracy concerns, I was seriously considered not releasing the remaining chapters of Volume 4 publicly anymore. But at the same time, I don’t want the current readers who have been supporting and following the story consistently to miss out either.

So from Chapter 401 onwards, I’ll continue doing weekly releases here, but only around the first one-fourth of each chapter will be posted publicly.

To read the full chapter, you can simply join my Patreon’s free tier. The complete chapters will be available there, and it doesn’t cost anything to access them.

You can give it a try if you’d like. And honestly, more people joining the Patreon, even through the free tier, would really encourage and support me to keep going consistently.

Thank you for all the support so far. I truly appreciate everyone who’s been reading the journey until now.
