Battle of Ascension

Chapter 254: Testing New Skill, Randy's Concern

Meanwhile, in a certain place surrounded by trees, there was a man gasped for a breath as he clutched his head. The man seemed to have a great pain as he clutched his head as his body twitched on the ground.

The man was Randy, after giving the Mythical Healing Potion to Audrey, Randy found a place for him to test his new skill out and went to the forest in Elingdon Plain.

Surprisingly, the forest had grown even lusher, new lush green leaves sprouted after the fire died down. This showed how strong Queen Cecilia was.

After finding this place, Randy tested his new skill, Myriad Chiliastic Sword. He tried to form the countless sword like when the man who showed him the magnificent of the Myriad Chiliastic Sword, but

When he formed the 48th sword, there was a sudden great pain in his mind. The first 47 swords he formed puffed into dark red light and disappeared. This was not the first time Randy experienced the pain like this in his head and he had a clue why the great pain stormed in his head.

But he didn't have time to check his conjecture whether he was right as the great pain lasted for ten minutes before the pain subsided. This was the same when he was in the ruined city when he was at the limit of using Dragon Roar but he forced himself to use Dragon Roar.

But this time, the pain was greater than before, this pain indicated that he overused his Spirit. Because there was no gauge or something like that, so he didn't know the real exact capacity of his Spirit.

Randy remembered that he successfully formed 47 sevens sword, but failed to form the 48th sword. There were two reasons for this, he had exhausted his Spirit or he didn't have sufficient Spirit to form the 48th sword.

Most likely was the latter. If he exhausted his Spirit, then his body also would get affected, and his mind would go weary. But this time, his mind was still clear, and he could still think clearly.

Then the problem was his Spirit was not enough to form the 48th sword and the most, he could only from 47 swords for the current him.

Randy checked his Spirit. Currently, his Spirit was [4-star 700] which was the same as 4700 Spirit. Then the problem solved easily based on this and the sword he formed.

He formed 47 swords and his Spirit was 4700. That meant was 100 Spirit per one sword so when he tried to form the 48th sword, he failed and his mind fell into chaos.

Randy swept his sweat on his forehead and leaned against one tree. He fell into a deep thought as he considered changing how he allocated his stat points.

Every time he leveled up, he would allocate the free stat points 10 to Agility, 5 to Spirit and Strength as he got 20 freely allocated stat points each time he leveled up after the first Bloodline Awakening.

"Do I have to focus on Spirit now?"

He focused on Agility was because of his past cowardice, he would run if he could not kill the monster. Even though it was still the same until now, but it was rare to find a monster he could not kill.

Also, he had Shadow Drive for running away from the danger thing. Even Evil Dragon could do nothing to him. Of course, it was the heavily injured Evil Dragon, not the prime of the Evil Dragon. If the Evil Dragon was in his best condition, it was him would die for sure.

Also, he also had an understanding of Skill. Every skill depended on his stat, the higher a certain stat for the skill, then the skill's effectiveness also became higher.

His Resonance Strike skill example, this skill depended on his Stamina and Strength. The higher his Stamina, he could use more Resonance Strike. The higher his Strength, Resonance Strike also dealt more attack damage.

Dragon Roar, the skill depended on spirit only. The higher his Spirit, the stronger his Dragon Roar. The higher his Spirit, he could use more Dragon Roars.

But most skills were relying on Spirit, there was also some skill which required Elemental Energy like his additional skill from equipping Inferno Set armor and weapon, Fire Blades. There was also a skill which required his Sword Energy, Sword Blade.

It was fortunate that he got Divine Bloodline, Chaos Dragon Bloodline. With his current bloodline, he got an enormous stat.

But soon, Randy shook his head. Even though he started focusing on Spirit now, it was impossible for him to reach the same power as the man in which showed him Myriad Chiliastic Sword.

After resting for sometime, he regained his beast condition to test his another skill, it was Sleight of Sword Expanse.

Randy took a deep breath before using Sleight of Sword Expanse and the same light sphere as the man he saw when he opened the Sleight of Sword Expanse scroll.

The light sphere was in 1 meter in diameter at first, but soon it expanded until over 4 meters but less than 5 meters. Randy realized that was the maximum range, so he didn't dare to force to expand the light sphere anymore, less the same accident like before happened again.

"That is it, 4.7 meters is the maximum of my light sphere. 1000 Spirit is to increase 1 meter of the sphere diameter," Randy concluded after he saw the maximum range of the light sphere.

"It's time to use my swordsmanship in this light sphere,"

Randy remembered that every monster who passed the light's sphere boundary would get sliced into many pieces without exception. But there was no beast or monster as he checked the surrounding, but there were three trees.

He took out his Darkness. Darkness was the most compatible for performing a quick attack, at least it was what he thought.

When Darkness appeared in his hand, Randy immediately used his sword at the three trees.

Sou! Sou!

There was a shadow of his sword as his hand moved in frightening speed and the three trees sliced into many pieces of log, but Randy could feel the difference when he was performing this kill.

His motion was still visible in the naked eye while he could see nothing except the beast turned into many pieces as the man with red armor performed this skill. The difference was huge, he realized about this.

Randy pondered what made them different. The man which performed Myriad Chiliastic Sword had enormous Spirit, that was why the man could form a countless sword, then what about the man with red armor?

Spirit had an influence on how big the light sphere created, then what about the man red armor motion? Randy could not see the man with red armor's motion, but each monster and beast passed the light sphere boundary would get sliced into many pieces.

He had some grasp on stat, Strength worked on his attack damage, Stamina was the stat to sustain his physical activity and the higher the stat of Stamina also accelerated in recovering stamina.

Vitality worked on his defense and accelerated in healing his injury. Agility worked on his movement speed, so far what he knew about Agility was this. And the last was Spirit, it was a kind of stat which interconnected with his mind, it was more like "magic".

"It's Agility, that's why you can't see his motion when he performed the same skill, because he has enormous Agility. Agility not only work on your movement speed but also your attack speed,"

Shana suddenly appeared before Randy's face as she explained. Her face beamed with a happy expression, it was clear she was in a good mood.

Hearing Shana explanation, Randy recalled his battle in the past. Indeed, his attack speed was much faster even compared to the incomplete Eternal Grade Beast.

After that, he familiarized with his two new skills. Myriad Chiliastic Sword and Sleight of Sword Expanse were an amazing skill. After familiarizing himself, Randy solved his flaw in Sleight of Sword Expanse, it was to use both skills at the same time.

48 swords included a sword in his hand in the light sphere. Even though his attack speed was slower than the man with red armor, but he solved that with Myriad Chiliastic Sword.

After that, he took a long rest to recover his Spirit. There was no horn to call the army to gather so the Crimson Cloud Kingdom would not attack the beast kingdom for the time being, at least not in the short time.

As he thought about the Crimson Cloud Kingdom's next move, he wondered about Queen Cecilia's condition.

He gave Mythical Healing Potion for Queen Cecilia was to hug her thigh. It was like a gamble for him. Why gamble? Gamble for his safety, protecting his loot he got from the war.

After hearing the reason the Crimson Cloud Kingdom's noble hated him, the trialer from the lower world. He should have made a backup plan so the noble would not dare to do anything to him.

It was clear it was not enough to hug only Crimson Princess' thigh. Crimson Princess had no influence on the noble as her nature was playful. Even though they respected the Crimson Princess, but there was no guarantee the noble would not make their move on him.

Also, if the nobles convinced King Andreas, then even Crimson Princess could do nothing about it.

He got many blood essences from the war between the Crimson Cloud Kingdom and Underworld Faction. Emperor Beast Blood Essence, Mythical Beast Blood Essence, Incomplete Eternal Beast Blood Essence, and two Saint Beast Blood Essences.

The noble could use the pretext of the Crimson Cloud Kingdom casualties to take his loot. That was why he needed to hug Queen Cecilia's thigh tightly. But it was with notes that Queen Cecilia was not an ungrateful person which blinded by hate like the noble he met.

That was why he said this was a gamble. If he lost the gamble, then he would try his best to run away.

Moreover, Limera also showed his Saint Grade Battle Partner. There were more reasons for the noble to make a move on them with the pretext of their hate and greed.

Thinking about this, Randy released out a depressed sigh. He gave the miraculous potion only for this bet. As for fighting back? It was out of the question, he could not even defeat General Nicholas, there were Grand Generals, the big boss King Andreas.

After recovering his Spirit, Randy headed back to Crimson Cloud Kingdom's camp.
