Chapter 99: [Weekly Bonus - 2/2] Strangers (1)
Within moments, Adrian’s [Camouflage] skill was replaced by the new [Mimic] skill. At a glance, both skills seemed similar, but there was a big difference.
Using [Camouflage] was easy, as it automatically adjusted to its surroundings to hide Adrian’s presence without his input. But he would have to play an active role while using [Mimic], be aware of his surroundings, and adapt accordingly to conceal himself.
In other words, the [Mimic] skill demanded more active participation from Adrian, marking a significant shift from the passive nature of the [Camouflage] skill
While it came off as a problem, the [Mimic] skill was in a league of its own. Unlike [Camouflage], the new skill had various features, such as altering Adrian’s appearance and voice and even mimicking certain behaviours of the individuals he transformed into, allowing him to resemble someone else entirely.
’It is a great skill, but it isn’t perfect,’ Adrian thought, quickly disposing of the slime’s corpse.
Upon reading the skill description, Adrian realised that the [Mimic] skill, while powerful, had its limitations. For instance, maintaining a particular form required a significant amount of concentration and mana, making it less effective in prolonged situations.
But even more troublesome were the limitations placed on effective skill use. For instance, to copy someone’s behaviour properly, he had to hang out with them for a while, and if he wanted to mimic their voice, he had to hear it with all its different emotions.
’Yet, it’s nothing that a bit of practice can’t fix, just like always.’
He was itching to test the skill and proceed with the next phase of his plan.
