He had an urge to take the Prisoner and made it his main weapon. But in the end, he gave up on choosing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Prisoner was a dangerous weapon, without a proper mind and training, it would be more harmful than useful to Carter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m thinking of getting skills or abilities to be honest. They are useful for everything. It is a choice between Will of Steel or Swordsmanship. Both were Elite Rank.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swordsmanship and Hand-to-hand Combat were great combat options but Carter prioritized them less. Each skin had its own way of fighting. Swordsmanship and Hand-to-hand Combat would be completely useless for skin like the Terror Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What is this skill ’Formidable’ anyway? I don’t quite understand it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Carter chose Will of Steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Eldritch Knight: Rank (Elite); Star Level: 1.

Carter could easily blame the Terror if the corpses disappeared. This bloody scene was his little treasure. They were enough for him to feed a few Terror Skins to maximum Synchronization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Let me see. What kind of power do I want to retain? I need to pick the skin carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I definitely need to maximize Terror Witch’s Synchronization. I just can’t pass on that Acting Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker’s Living Sense is pretty good. Terror Walker is weak because it is slow. But Living Sense accompanied with a fast Terror would be a nightmare to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... The final one. Hmmmm. Creeping Ability of the Creeper is good. It can help me track someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terror Force is also a great contender. If an Eldritch Knight has Terror Force, he would be unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sonar Echolocation of the Terror Bat is also good.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Carter picked the Terror Witch, Terror Walker, and Terror Man for Acting Skill, Living Sense, and Terror Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terror Creeper also had Terror Force. Carter grafted a Terror Man to it previously. Its star level was higher also. But Carter wanted to keep it for later in case he might want to take its Creeping Ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[TERROR WITCH EQUIPPED]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter turned back to the pale Terror and began feasting. There were a lot of corpses down here. Once he finished retaining all of the three skins power, he might even be able to synchronize more skins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But life wasn’t that easy. The more powerful the Terror, the more corpses it needed to feast. Terror Witch alone required more than half the corpses in the hideout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Welp.

The Terrors are cleansed. But I wouldn’t recommend going down there at the moment. Terrors like bloody scenes like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Follow me, I will escort you to somewhere safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second night passed.

Most of us died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur trembled in shock, \"But you are so powerful. How can...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are foot soldiers only, Arthur. There are stronger forces out there. If our society doesn’t straighten up, the end of the world will be near.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur widened his eyes. There were so many things that he could decipher from Carter’s words. Reality was so grim that he was too afraid to ask more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for your first and second question. It’s better if I show you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter placed the Prisoner between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur tilted his head in confusion and looked at the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take me...\" It spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-06-03T05:55:44.924Z","2026-06-03T05:55:51.592Z",1,"novelbin.me","bf245f855be59d092d68b035f7be8aea5fc09a8e9d1d7af8aee71a6b1d0e625d","infinite-skin-system-starting-as-an-eldritch-kni-chapter-18","infinite-skin-system-starting-as-an-eldritch-kni-chapter-16",178,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finfinite-skin-system-starting-as-an-eldritch-kni-cover.jpg"]
