I looked into Shadrach's Skills, and he indeed had a bunch of new ones straight off the bat. They were all pretty cool as well. The new Skills were [Volcanic Infernal Domain: Lv1] [Superior Japanese Katana: Lv1] [Sharpness Enhancement: Lv1] [Flexible Movement: Lv1] [Fire Absorption: Lv--] [Mystical Katana Arts: Lv1] [Soul Devouring Infernal Blade: Lv1] [Blazing Blade Spirit: Lv1] and [Chirijiraden: Raging Inferno: Lv1].

To give a quick roundabout about them, [Volcanic Infernal Domain: Lv1] seems to invoke a powerful fiery domain made of molten rock around the user's katana. It can also enhance fire damage by around 20% with each skill level, and also manipulate this domain around to generate flames and volcanic eruptions through katana swings, kind of like the "Lava Zone" Skill I once had.

The [Superior Japanese Katana: Lv1] Skill was… well, self-explanatory, it enhanced stats while using Katana Skills, especially Agility and Dexterity. And then [Sharpness Enhancement: Lv1] and [Flexible Movement: Lv1] were passive abilities that increased Sharpness and Movement Speed when utilizing the Katana. They benefited mostly the wielder than the katana itself.

The [Fire Absorption: Lv--] was self-explanatory, allowing Shadrach to completely absorb fire elemental attacks, both magic and physical… I think, but maybe something strong enough could get through his defenses, perhaps, maybe. We'll see.

The [Mystical Katana Arts: Lv1] was a special one, and for this one I checked it into more detail, because it is one of those OP skills that feature several techniques within, unlocked with each Level.

[Mystical Katana Arts: Lv1]

Powerful Weapon Arts that utilize the Katana and Mana imbued into the blade to unleash powerful, mystical arts that can deal great damage to foes at an incredible fast speed. Available Arts can have a variety of abilities and purposes and are widely useful for many situations. New Arts can be created by combining them together with one another, or with magic and other skills.

Enhances Art Damage Dealt by +25% with each Skill Level, ignores -2% of the foe's defenses with each Skill Level.

Available Arts:

Level 1: [Spirit Blade] [Binding Darkness]

This is my ideal skill, I shall wear some kimono and become a katana wielding beauty! The first art utilizes the power of Blade Aura to enchant the blade and unleash long-ranged slashing attacks, typical Japanese fantasy sword techniques. And then there's Binding Darkness, which unleashes Blade Aura into a black mist to confuse foes, entangle them, and attack them when they least expect it. Pretty amazing, right?

Anyways, moving on, [Soul Devouring Infernal Blade: Lv1] grants the Katana the power to damage souls directly with each slash by activating the skill, it also can devour the portion of the soul sliced and enchant the flames it unleashes temporarily.

And then there's [Blazing Blade Spirit: Lv1] which conjures a powerful Blazing Blade Spirit, something like a stand of Shadrach which also enchants damage dealt, fire power, and can attack with each swing of the katana for additional damage, something Shadrach couldn't do simultaneously before even back in Genesis.

Lastly, there's the [Chirijiraden: Raging Inferno: Lv1], the only new Magic Skill he acquired, it unleashes a literal Raging Inferno by spinning the Katana rapidly, of course, it has to be covered on flames for it to work. Which does automatically by activating the skill. Most of these strong skills cost insane amounts of MP, but they can vary in power as well based in how much MP is used, and in which ways they're varied and moved around.

"We can say you've become pretty epic, Shadrach. Do you like your new form?" I asked while admiring the Katana, wielding it really awakened my deepest chunni side, the one I've been trying to seal away all this time.

"I like this new form… It is light yet my defenses have not dropped either! I remember the description said I was going to become frail, but it seems the defenses I acquired, both stats and skills from my heaven blade evolution carried to this katana form!" Shadrach celebrated. "It means I am both light, flexible, agile, rapid, and I can also tank hits very well!"

"Yeah, you're the best of both worlds! Let's go slaughter the fishes now!" I laughed evilly.

As I laughed, everyone looked at me from behind with faces filled with disbelief.
