บท 64: Chapter 64: New Template

I swing my sword and kill the last vampire in this underground base. This is the last base in Brașov. With this, we are done destroying all the major bases of the Tepes Faction. There are a few bases somewhere in the middle of the forest, but we cannot track them because of how big Romania is.

When I am about to join the others to the surface, I stop because something clicks in my head.

[Congratulations on completing your fifth template! Please select an upgrade for your fifth template:]

I look at the list of powers in front of me and read them one by one.

[Boost your Aura]

[Pocket Dimension of Dust]

[Remnant Tech Knowledge]

[Magic of Old]

[Second Element of Winter Maiden]

The first one is useless with how big my reserve is. The second one is huge. It is not an endless pocket dimension full of dust ready to mine, but they will respawn every month, so it is basically endless if you think about it. The third one sounds great, but it is not too far off from current tech, at least in the supernatural world, and all of them need dust to fuel it. The fourth one is intriguing. The description does not say much, but it says that it will give me the knowledge of magic that the people of Remnant used in the past. However, I don't know how powerful it is. The last one is unique because it allows me to control water, just like ice. It does not give me the ability to control blood or anything, but it can let me do a small tsunami, and if I grow more powerful, I can sink an island given enough time.

I really want to take the last one. Sadly, I decided to take the second one. The reason? It is an unlimited source of miracle fuel. Ammo? Dust. Electricity? Dust. Oil? Dust. Not only that, but the ammo created from them is unique. Gravity dust alone is something that many people will drool to obtain.

After picking the second option, I could feel something click in my mind, and I could now open a portal to this pocket dimension.

[Randomizing the next character template… Congratulations! You get Jiraiya (Naruto)]

I grunt a little as pain appears in my head from the rush of knowledge entering my head. While I don't get all of his knowledge in a single sitting, I can access some of them. Among them are Shadow Clones and Summoning Jutsu.

Jiraiya might use his toad-related jutsu the most, but he truly deserves his position as one of the strongest fighters in Konoha. His stealth technique is incredible, his assassin technique is flawless, and his collection of jutsu is massive.

However, what excited me was his knowledge of Fuinjutsu and Senjutsu. They are basic, but they will help me greatly. Yasaka might teach me how to use Senjutsu, but I feel it is incompatible with me. On the other hand, Jiraiya's technique is gentler, at least in the absorption stage. The fight one… It is all violence.

"Boss! Are you okay?!"

I snap from my thoughts and look at Luca, who has a worried expression on his face.

"You are just standing there for a minute. Are there any more enemies?!"

"No. Nothing like that. I just awakened a new power."

Luca's eyes get bigger, and his frown turns into a smile.

"Congratulations, boss! With this, we can give the bloodsuckers even more surprise!"

"That we do, Luca. For now, let's get back and celebrate. We will attack their main and last base."

"Yes, boss!"

===||===

"What?! How can you awaken chakra?! Only Youkai can awaken them!"

I laugh at Yasaka's shouts as she walks around me and inspects me for something that can explain this situation. Well, I guess this should be impossible from her perspective.

"I will tell you about it later. For now, check this out."

I make a series of hand seals and take a deep breath.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique"

I release a massive torrent of fire into the sky, and I can see Yasaka look at me in surprise.

"Fire release? Does that mean you have another kind of elemental release as well?"

I stop the flow of chakra and nod at her question.

"Yes. Oh god, my throat is dry. I need to get used to that. Anyway, there are five basic elements: Wind, Water, Earth, Fire, and Lightning"

"Ah, just like Godai, the Five Elements in the foundation of Onmyoudou. The only difference is the Lightning."

"Ah, it is more of the Chinese Wuxing than Godai. However, it is simpler than Wuxing. Fire is strong against wind, wind is strong against lightning, lightning is strong against earth, earth is strong against water, and water is strong against fire."

"I see. It is more of a circle than a pentagram and circle, huh?"

"That's right. Of course, there are other elements like Yin and Yang. Not only that, the elements can combine as well. Ice Release is the combination of Water and Wind, and Lava Release is a combination of Fire and Earth."

"Does this formation have a connection in medicine making? Wuxing and Godai are involved in any traditional medicine, after all. They also used to perform some rituals."

"I don't know, actually. As far as my knowledge gets me, it has nothing like that."

"What a shame. I love to read about new ways to create medicine and potions."

"Do you like potion making, Yasaka?"

"Yup. It is a pastime activity. I cannot cook for my life, but I have a talent for medicine-making for some reason. My parents said that it was some kind of curse or something."

"Right. Anyway, as far as I know, Elemental Transformation does not have a connection to potion making or medicine making as far as I know."

Yasaka nods her head and says.

"I see. Oh well. Show me more of your jutsu! Also, teach me about all those hand seals! The Omnyouji use them, but they guard those seals like their most prized treasures. I also want to use Jutsu as well! All Ninjutsu is based on magic and never on chakra. I want to see if I can do that."

"Sure. Let's go to the training ground. We don't want to burn anything."
