16 The Skills

Concealing their identities was not an option anymore. Since the plot was going to end up with them being attacked by the Four Waves, Glenn has to band with all the Adventurers in Galaron together to stop it.

"And right after the Four Waves, we erase their memories," Glenn said to John and Gina as they planned for the incoming battle.

They have already talked to Melissa and the rest of the Knights and Adventurers and they agreed after the trio showed them their powers. Glenn created the Tree of Life, John performed his skills, and Gina enchanted several items to life.

"Glenn," Gina called out. They were now standing on top of the bell tower of Galaron to discuss private matters. "The Celestial Class was removed in the fifth patch, Patch 2.0. How come you retained yours?"

John pursed his lips and nodded. "I could still remember that. I was a Celestial Assassin after I reached the Celestial Realm and defeated the Star God which was a quest after the main storyline. Then they removed it in Patch 2.0. Celestial Class was the highest class upgrade and the skills were overpowered, causing it to be removed."

"Our pro team in God's Omen," Glenn sighed. "We retained our Celestial Class."

The revelation caused both of Glenn's friends to look at each other in shock. They were speechless for a couple of seconds before Gina broke the silence, "What do you mean? It was called off because it became a problem."

"Not if you deactivated your account right before the Patch 2.0," Glenn replied. "After Patch 2.0, we reactivated our accounts so we could retain our Celestial Classes. All of us in our team have the same class."

"So you mean there are five more people who has the same power as you out there?" John asked, to which Glenn answered with a nod. "Then we must find them later on. For now, you have to tell us all about your skills and each other's skills."

"I agree," Glenn said. "Earlier, if we could have been more synchronized, we would've defeated Viros easier. But we don't know anything about each other's skill set. It has been years since I played the game, so I forgot all about it."

"Glenn, you should start," Gina suggested. "Among us three, you have the most powerful class. We have to study yours deeper."

"Okay," Glenn nodded. "Then let's start with the Tree of Life…"

Each player in God's Omen is granted nine slots for their skills. Each class contains dozens of skills in their arsenal, but only five active and four passive skills are allowed to be equipped at a time.

For Glenn, his skill set has the versatility that complemented his main skill, Switch. His Tree of Life with White mode allows him to heal his allies in an area as well as purify any curse that was casted on the ally. The curse includes poison, just as he exhibited in the Iron Blue Bug tragedy, paralysis, and even burns.

In Black mode, the Tree of Life would deal damage over time to the enemies around it. The enemy would be inflicted of random curses that has different damage. Some would be off with mild poison, but the rest are unlucky to be inflicted of severe burns.

His Green Maiden on White mode lets him conjure a woman made of green energy and would follow his ally, healing him for a period of time. The Black mode would be the complete reverse of this and would follow an enemy while dealing damage to them.

The Petals of Roses allows him to bind a target with four vines. In White mode, the petals would heal his target after it has been cut but in Black mode, it would deal damage.

Circle of Life in White mode, just like how he used it on John, would revive his ally if they still have even an ounce of their HP left. The complete opposite would happen in Black mode. Glenn could one hit an opponent with the skill, but it would be hard for him to cast it again.

Finally, his Switch was his key skill. It was the skill that allowed him to turn from White mode to Dark mode at will. In the game, the Switch had no cooldown, but in this world, it had a sixty second cooldown, which was odd for Glenn.

His passive skills were basically supports for his active skills. They enhanced the heal and the damage that would effectively grant Glenn his advantage over everyone else in the game and in this new world.

"That was it," Glenn said. "Now, John, let's go with you next."

John told them about his skills which were the standard skill set of a Rogue. Assassins and Ranger roles do not rely heavily on their skills to deal damage. They have what's called as "basic attack" which were the damages dealt by their bare weapons that are enhanced by their equipment.

For John, he allowed himself to be invisible, to alter memories, and even have a decent defensive skills such as freeze himself to not be dealt with any damage.

The last one intrigued Glenn so he asked his friend, "If you could cast Frozen Groom, why didn't you do it when I stabbed you?"

"If I did, you wouldn't wake up," John said. "I read a lot of webnovels and sh*t like this happen all the time. You would sacrifice things for the greater good. And I always knew that you could patch me right up after you stabbed me."

"What if I couldn't–"

"But you did," John smirked. "And here we are right now, going up against the Four Waves. Gina? Mind sharing your skills to us?"

Gina smirked and told them all about her skills. As they told each other everything about their skills, a group of people were hiding in an alley and watched them talk.

"Gina could manipulate the properties of an object and enchant them. She could change their molecular form or even enchant life onto them," a man said. "That's what I heard, sir."

"Then, they are really strong. We must prepare now. We already have this town in our hands, we must not let them have it," Ryan said. "Are you with me?"

"Yes!" All of his men, but one yelled.

"Hey, Sean," Ryan growled, talking to a tall curly man with a pair of rounded eyeglasses. He was leaning on the wall of the alley and smirked as he stood right up.

"Yes!" The man said with a smirk. "Let's end the Legendary Healer and his friends."
