Alongside the evolved Paranormal Monsters, his newly acquired personal skills numbered around ten abilities, some of which were augmented from old versions.

The first of these personal skills originated from the Wraith Queen. Wailing Death of Regency was a powerful ability that unleashed the screams of a thousand ghosts.

Those who faced the power head-on would lose their minds, breaking down as despair consumed their hearts. The victims can be specifically targeted, making it extremely precise.

Damien activated the personal skill, and the world flickered into a ghastly ambience. Thousands of ghostly apparitions materialized, soaring through the air.

Each was screaming mournful cries as though they were entities tormented in the underworld for all eternity.

He closed the ability, and the apparitions faded in mere moments. Yuki watched the scene with a slight intrigue, remembering her capabilities before the evolution.

As an Onryo, her power was concentrated in mental attacks that were capable of scarring her victims. But since evolving into a Yuki-Onna, her ability has become much more physical.

Whether it'd be the freezing cold pervading from her body or her power to unleash a torrent of ice that would consume her surroundings in a second.

The next personal skill belonged to Wraith Queen. It was the same, yet far different than the first one. If the Wailing Death of Regency was concentrated on mental attacks.

Army of Banshees was capable of directly killing their targets without utterly relying on a complete mental breakdown. It was much better for straightforward battles.

Not wasting a second, Damien activated the Army of Banshees. One after another, thousands of banshees rose from the ground and were ready to fight against the enemies of their master.

It was an intriguing sight that reminded him of the Shadow Division in the northern fringes. The battle would have been far more interesting if the Army of Banshees had been fighting against the soldiers.

"Wait... Wouldn't this mean that I wouldn't have to summon my monsters in large-scale battles?" Damien raised his eyebrows. The idea was plausible.

Shaking his head, he decided to throw the idea to the back of his mind. The operation against the strongholds of the Clan had already reached its end.

In any case, the following personal skills belonged to Ootakemaru. The first of its personal skills was Strength of the Demonic God. It was a far stronger version of Demonic Strength.

Damien took a deep breath and activated the Strength of the Demonic God. In mere seconds, he felt his physique augmented beyond what was possible.

His muscles bulged as his size grew larger than ever before, reaching three meters tall. He clenched his fist and felt the power surging from his muscles.

Punching the ground, the desolate landscape cracked, reaching a nearby mountain, which collapsed from the concentrated power of the Demonic God.

Damien's eyes widened, dumbfounded by the sight. His monsters looked at him, wondering if the mountain's destruction was necessary to their goals.

He could only cough and pretend nothing strange had happened.

Deactivating the Strength of the Demonic God, Damien returned to his former form and saw that his black-suit was in tatters.

"I didn't expect that my suit would be torn into pieces... Perhaps, I should also make it flexible so that it can handle the transformation." He sighed to himself.

The black suit was expensive, but fortunately. It was Damien's boss who paid for the cost of purchasing and maintaining the piece of clothing.

Another personal skill of Ootakemaru was Rain of Fire. It seemed far straightforward than the abilities he had seen before, so he activated the power without a tinge of hesitation.

The skies turned cloudy within a couple of seconds as the crimson tone of the fiery flames gleamed above the heavens. He turned his gaze upward and saw fireballs descending from the stormy skies.

Rain of Fire... These weren't droplets of flames! What was descending was a bombardment of innumerable meteorites.

Damien watched as the desolate landscape became littered with craters and the crimson fire. It was a shocking sight capable of wiping out any army in mere moments.

Even cities would become wastelands if such an ability were activated.

"I can't control where the meteorites descend, so there's a high probability that both allies and adversaries would be struck in the crossfire."

Damien narrowed his gaze and shook his head. "I should be careful when using this ability. But it does look good regardless."

His lips curved into a smile before he moved on to the Crom Cruach's personal skills. In all honesty, this Paranormal Monster surprised him the most.

After all, not even he expected the headless horseman to become an insect kaiju in a single evolution. If Ootakemaru was deemed a Demonic God, Crom Cruach was the Cosmic Horror.

It was probably the most disgusting monster under his command, but its personal skills weren't to be underestimated, to say the least.

Mark of Three Deaths was a personal skill that cursed its targets to face three possible deaths within their lifetimes. These were the Sacrificial Death, the Hungry Death, and the Bloody Death.

The ability was peculiar, to be honest. Even Damien was somewhat confused about how its inner workings internally behave.

But what was important was the result.

The destinies of the targets would be carved in Three Deaths, accelerating towards their damnation.

"What a peculiar skill," Damien muttered under his breath before shaking his head. Unfortunately, the Mark of Three Deaths required a target.

Even if there was a target, he didn't have the time to observe the victim until their inevitable deaths. So, he could only move on to the second personal skill of Crom Cruach.

It was one word, Sacrifice.

"Much simpler and better than the first one. I could sacrifice the corpses of my adversaries and allies alike, which grants me their strongest ability."

Damien mumbled to himself and looked at his old opponents, whom he had defeated. Each and every one of them had good abilities. Acquiring them might help him in some way.

It would have been better if the ability had arrived earlier, but better late than never. Conflicts weren't a rarity in the New World.

There would always be opponents he would have to face, no matter what. It was not a matter of if, but when.

Regardless, Shadow Wolf's personal skills also intrigued him. The first one was In The Dark, which gave him the ability to hide in others' shadows. It was practical for infiltration.

He could also protect people without being physically around them.

There was also Shadow Veil, which grants him a domain that encloses a hundred-meter diameter in the darkness of night. Against a group of adversaries, it was adequate in handling them one by one.

It worked well with In The Dark, bestowing him the ability to attack others through their shadows.

The last of the personal skills belonged to the beautiful Yuki-Onna. The first of which was Frozen Tapestry, capable of unnaturally decreasing the temperature of its targets.

It wasn't freezing them. But merely lowered their warmth until it reached zero. Their bodies would practically give up, causing their deaths.

Most of the personal skills he had received from the Paranormal Monsters seemed tailored for assassinations, though a few would cause mass destruction when utilized.

The second personal skill was Ice Age. Not bothering to think about it, Damien activated the skill. In an instant, a one-kilometer area surrounding him froze into pure ice.

Even snow started falling from the air, an indication of how cold it was.

Yuki looked around, enjoying the cold of the Ice Age. On the other hand, Damien noticed its destructive yet handy power. After all, it wasn't focused on destructive capabilities but utility instead.

"With these personal skills around, it was no wonder that my status became riddled with information."
