I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything



Luna's movements were a blur of speed and agility as she transformed into an after-image, her silver daggers glinting in the sunlight. With lightning-fast precision, she slashed through the scaly, tough shell of one of the monsters, leaving a deep gash in its flesh. The monster let out a guttural groan of pain, momentarily stunned by the unexpected strike.

However, the other monster seized the opportunity to retaliate. With a swift kick aimed at Luna's head, it intended to knock her off balance and gain the upper hand. But to their astonishment, multiple shadows materialized, intercepting the kick before it could connect with Luna's skull. The shadows emanated from Luna's own form, a testament to her formidable abilities.

While Luna's attention was momentarily diverted by the first monster, the second monster seized the chance to strike. It thrust its arm forward, aiming for Luna's vulnerable chest. In a horrifying twist of fate, the monster's arm pierced through Luna's defenses, impaling her. A mixture of shock and pain flashed across Luna's features as she looked down at the arm that had plunged through her body, emerging from her back. Her body stiffened, frozen in disbelief.

As Luna lay on the ground, clutching her chest tightly, blood oozing from the wound, the monsters couldn't resist the opportunity to mock her. They towered over her, their scaly forms casting dark shadows across her broken body. With sadistic grins, they taunted Luna, their voices dripping with arrogance and mockery.

"Look at you, little human," one monster sneered, its voice laced with contempt. "So full of bravado, yet so easily defeated."

The other monster joined in, its deep, rumbling voice resonating with malice. "Did you really think you could challenge beings like us? You're nothing more than a fleeting speck of insignificance."

Luna's grip on her chest tightened, her face contorted with pain, but her defiant spirit remained unyielding. She gritted her teeth...

"Enjoy your final moments, human," the first monster sneered, relishing in Luna's vulnerable state. "Soon, your existence will be nothing but a distant memory."

As Luna lay on the ground, seemingly defeated and clutching her chest, Ren and Takashi stood nearby, their expressions surprisingly relaxed. They exchanged a knowing smile, their eyes glimmering with a shared understanding. Despite the dire situation, they didn't appear worried about Luna's condition. There was an air of confidence surrounding them, as if they knew something the monsters did not.

Meanwhile, high above in the sky, the blood-filled monster watched the scene unfold with an air of boredom. Its voice, dripping with disdain, pierced through the air. "What a pitiful display," it scoffed. "Such low-level illusions won't save you from your impending demise."

But back in the battlefield, unbeknownst to the monsters, Luna's battle took an unexpected turn. The head of the first monster soared through the air. The sight sent shockwaves through the remaining monster, its bloodshot eyes widening in disbelief.

As Luna, still clutching her chest, slowly faded out of existence, the second monster turned to face her, its voice laced with confusion and disbelief. "How... how are you still alive?" it stammered, its voice tinged with a mix of fear and curiosity. "And where are your injuries?"

In response, Luna's lips curled into a mischievous smile, her eyes gleaming with playfulness. With a flick of her hand, she dispelled the illusion that had deceived her monsters. The injuries they believed to have inflicted upon her were nothing more than a clever ruse.

"You've been playing right into my hands," Luna declared, her voice filled with a mix of satisfaction and amusement. "I have been manipulating your every move, luring you into a false sense of superiority."

Ren's voice broke through the silence. "I knew it," he whispered, a mixture of awe and realization coloring his tone. "Luna's power... it wasn't really darkness, but illusion."

Takashi, still catching his breath, turned to Ren, curiosity etched across his face. "What do you mean?" he inquired, his voice tinged with a hint of wonder.

Ren, a faint smile playing on his lips, began to explain Luna's extraordinary ability. "Luna's shadows, they are manifestations of illusion," he started, his voice steady and filled with knowledge. "As long as her enemies believe in the illusion, it becomes a tangible reality, possessing the very essence and power of the image in their minds."

Takashi's eyes widened in astonishment, his mind racing to comprehend the implications of Luna's power. "So, if Luna were to create an illusion of a cake," he mused, his voice filled with intrigue, "it would become a real cake as long as her enemies believe in it? And what if she conjures an illusion of the sun? Would it become a genuine sun if everyone believes in its existence?"

Ren nodded, his gaze fixed on Takashi, acknowledging the weight of his questions. "Yes," he confirmed, a note of caution in his voice. "As long as the belief is strong enough, Luna's illusions can materialize into reality. The power lies in the conviction of her adversaries. The stronger their imagination, the more potent Luna's illusions become."

Takashi's mind whirled with the possibilities, the sheer magnitude of Luna's ability hitting him like a tidal wave. It was a power beyond his wildest imagination, capable of shaping reality itself. However, a hint of concern crept into his voice as he voiced his thoughts. "But what about the weaknesses?" he asked, his brows furrowing. "Once the enemies discover how Luna's ability works, won't her power become useless? If they simply stop believing in her illusions, wouldn't they lose their effect?"

Ren's expression turned solemn as he acknowledged the vulnerability of Luna's power. "You're right," he admitted, his voice tinged with a touch of sadness. "Once the enemies comprehend the nature of Luna's ability, they can resist its influence. No matter what she attempts to condense, as long as her adversaries do not believe in it, the illusions will lose their power and effectiveness."

Takashi absorbed the weight of Ren's words, a mixture of awe and concern etched upon his face. The revelation opened a world of possibilities, but it also unveiled the fragility of Luna's gift. Their enemies' awareness could render Luna's illusions futile, stripping her of a formidable advantage.
