[You've added 3 points of free attributes to Agility!]
Michael felt the sudden powerful gush of energy course through him, increasing his agility AKA his speed to a new height, breaking past the one digit barrier and entering the two digit scale. The first attribute of his to break into the two digit, except for the amplification.
[Attributes: Strength 9(↑18), Agility 10(↑20), Constitution 7(↑14), Intelligence 7, Willpower 5]
Now he was much faster than the spectral monster. With eyes staring coldly at the spectral monster, he lunged at this coward so suddenly that it didn't have the time to react and the side of it's spectral body got cut by Micheal's mana bone sword.
Unfortunately, it got escape. It disappeared into the shadows, and appearing far away from him, with it's left spectral hand cut off.
Michael didn't just stand there idly. He then sprint back at the aberrant disgusting looking monster. Wanting to eliminate this disgusting eyesore, first.
A second later, he appeared infront of the aberrant monster [Plague Stalker] with his bone sword already swinging powerfully at it. Then...
Baam!
Clank!
The towering black skeleton turned it's hand into a hard and powerful shield to block the blow from Micheal. Even still, it didn't crack nor break apart, it just got a long sword mark left by the Micheal trying to cut the aberrant monster into two.
Scree~~
After attacking, Michael could hear the screening sound of spectral soul attack coming dangerously close towards him, before he dodged and destroyed it with his mana infused bone sword.
Then he disappeared, taking another cover at the uneven rock formations as he rethink his plan.
"I lacked enough penetrating power!" He muttered, calling for 'status in his mind. Then choosing the {Evolution} feature.

•••
He just glanced at the description before he put his full focus on his enemies.
Shoosh~
Micheal disappeared, sprinting towards the one hand spectral monster who was using another spectral magic.
The spectral monster was prepared for the sudden attack, as it immediately activated its spectral shield. A dark–green energy, circulated infront of it, creating a spinning energy shield.
Whoosh~
A manifestation of dark–sword of destruction burning with the aura of death, appeared on Micheals hand as he swing forward with all of his strength.
Michael's destruction slash skill and the spectral monster's spiraling spectral shield meet. Creating a spectacle of magical destruction.
BOOM!
The ground caved in, creating a large crater. Dust rise up in the sky and strong wind push anything near.
The strong force of magic raged and battled in spectacular way. With the spiralling spectral shield doing it's best to block the blow while the destruction slash trying to destroy this obstacle.
Sizzzz~
After sometime, the spiralling spectral shield was breaking apart, it cannot bear the powerful destruction slash anymore longer, putting the spectral monster in critical danger.
Crack!
Before it could react to the danger, it's shield suddenly collapse. Shocking the spectral monster who were putting to much trust on its shield to much. Then without a doubt, Micheal powerful destruction slash, slashed its weak spectral body like a hot knife slicing a butter.
Slash!
Still shocked and confused, the spectral monster found it's spectral body got slashed into two. The powerful destruction quality of Micheal's skill is too much that it unable to reconstruct it's energy body, nor heal it.
It can only succumb to it's death slowly with regret and confusion.
Whoosh!
Michael then appeared before the remaining duo, who were still oblivious to their upcoming demise.
With a swift motion, he activated his [Blighted Cleave] skill again, meeting with the towering black skeleton's black diamond like shield.
Baam!
The towering black skeleton shield block the destructive slash like it was nothing, but if you look closely, you could see that the black diamond like shield was slowly got corroded. Then moments later it finally give out, breaking apart like a rusted thin steel.
"???"
The towering black skeleton was shocked at what just happened, and before he fully process it, it's hand collapse on the ground like it was some sort of rotten wood. Weak and useless.
Before it could process what was happening, the destructive slash now come for his head. Blocking with it's other hand, he managed to block the attack for a couple moments before it to, collapse on the ground looking like a rotten metal.
Thud!
Now left with no hands, he covered his body with black diamond like bones. Turning it's body into a massive ball of compressed black diamond with unparalleled defense, planning to use all what it have to protect it's precious core.
Seeing that he needs more time to crack this eggshell, he focused on the last enemy he have.
His eyes were staring coldly while he gazed at the [Plague Stalker] who was seemingly shaking from fear. Who could have know that a being at it's stature and power were now shaking from terror at the face of a mortal human who were just amidst of his Trial.
Without sparing it a pity, Micheal lunged forward with his last remaining mana in this final attack. The disgusting bare body of this harbinger of plague cannot handle the destructive capability of his destruction slash, that he only swing his sword and this being succumbed to it's death.
