Chapter 503 Opening The {World Boss Shop} And Buying A Devastating Skill!
-----
After having lunch with my daughter and a feast with the workers at my castle, I decided to move to my next task! I wanted to check out this whole World Boss Shop and see what I can buy using the World Boss Points I've accumulated. Later, I might assess my Skills and Stats, most likely, I'll be fusing some Skills using the Skill Forge to make space for the new ones I can unlock.
And the moment I opened the World Boss Shop while my friends were having a talk with Titania while drinking tea in the rebuilt Fairy Queendom's Castle, several System windows popped up one after the other...
Ding!
[You've accessed the [World Boss Shop]!]
[The power of the [World Boss Authority] Title has been fully awakened.]
[You've unlocked 10 [World Boss Skill Slots]!]
[You can equip World Boss Skills within these ten slots.]
[A new Stat has been unlocked: AUT (Authority)!]
[Authority (AUT)]: [A Special Stat that can only be unlocked by Players that have fulfilled several special conditions, such as taking over a large Territory and becoming a World Boss. This Stat does not directly increase the power of the user in any way, but it enhances all of the user's subjects' stats by +1 every 10 points. Certain Skills utilize this stat for their special effects, mostly those related to the World Boss Authority. This Stat cannot increase by Leveling up or through Stat Points and can only increase by doing achievements related to being a ruler and a world boss.]
[You have acquired +500 AUT as a bonus.]
Wait, what?! I even unlocked a new stat! This is interesting, it increases all of my "subjects" stats by +1 every 10 points of Authority?! That's pretty good, but not the most broken thing either.
Currently I have 500 Authority, so everyone receives +50 to all of their stats, and this doesn't seem to have the requirements of having to be within my Territory like the Castle's Effects, so that's pretty good. If I get to 1000, it'll be +100, and so on...
Ding!

Then again, these other items are just as weird... And they cost a bit too much, no? It is... overbearing to see these costs, I barely have a few thousand points.
"Umm, can you show me what I can afford?"

"Beginner level? Do you have to be so harsh? Ugh... Well, it is right anyways, I am a beginner." I sighed.
I guess I cannot afford more than one thing, it is also showing me 3k points things I can't afford, maybe because I am quite close to that number? Nonetheless, it would be good to at least have one skill.
And well, the only one I can afford is... yeah.
Ding!
[You've exchanged 2500 WBP!]
[You learned the [Ray of Destruction: Lv1] World Boss Skill!]
-----
[Ray of Destruction: Lv1]
A Special Skill that only World Bosses can utilize, by spending 5000 MP, the user is capable of unleashing a gigantic ray of destruction, whose element is based on the World Boss Three Main Attributes.
Damage Dealt Increases by +300% plus 1% with every 10 Authority Stat Points. This Ray of Destruction can ignore up to 30% of a target's Total Defenses, plus an additional 1% with every 50 Authority Stat Points. This attack will always deal at least 1% of its total damage, no matter how high the foe's Total Defense is.
Once the Ray of Destruction hits a target, a giant explosion will occur, which will spread damage by 100 meters around the target, this explosion only deals 20% of the total damage, however.
Total Skill Power will decrease the farther you are from your [Territory] by 1% for every kilometer up to a decrease in power of -50%. However, the more Authority Stat you have, the lesser this penalty will become.
This Skill can only be leveled up by spending World Boss Points.

This is one crazy Skill! And I can only increase its level using World Boss Points?!
"H-How many WBP do I need to level this up?"
Ding!
[WBP required: 2500]
"The same amount it cost to buy?! T-This is too expensive..."
Well, anyways, I'll take it over nothing!
"Lets try this one..." I called the Wind Spirits and used their winds to fly high into the skies, pointing my finger afar.
Seeing how I am in the center of my territory, it must be at full power by now...
"[Ray of Destruction]"
I unleashed the attack at the faraway plains, where I could only see a few low level wild monsters walking around.
A massive beam of destruction made up of light, nature, and spirit attribute magic was fired from my index finger, reaching the faraway lands with ease, and unleashing a devastating explosion...
BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
"Ooh, it is pretty strong-"
Ding!
