Chapter 50: 50. Shadow spear
Dexter walked past the shelves as he touched the orbs one after the other to see what he would use. He already had two skills and a mysterious technique.
"Oh. I forgot to tell you something." Sera suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Hm?"
"The number of skills you can learn is depending on your mind stat so the skills on this floor might not be able to be learned since they have high stat requirement." Sera said and Dexter looked at the skill his hand was currently on.
[Explosive fist (Seventh class) - Release a punch capable of flattening mountains and causing tidal waves.
Cost to activate - 79 spirit energy points.]
[Requirements - mind 145+]
"What? But why?" He was confused.
"The skills on this floor needs a specific level of mind power for direct entry. Simply put, your brain cannot handle the technique." She explained and then pointed to the other side.
"Why don't you pick weapons and items instead." She suggested and Dexter walked towards the other side of the library and he began to check one by one.
So far he had the Anti-daylight cloak which was a self made item. He had the gloves which gave him a few stat points along with earthly shoes and totem pants but nothing else.
Oh, and the ring he recieved from killing the mutant pigeon horde leader.
'I think I'll get an entire set.' Dexter said as he touched almost all the item orbs on the first row and he didn't see any decent clothes.
He walked towards the big orb on a pedestal which was at the middle of the library and he touched it.
After imagining what he wanted the outfit to be, he removed his hands from the orb and looked at the interface in front of him.
[Item - Battle gears.]
[Pieces - Battle shirt, battle pants, battle boots.
Qualities: Flexible, fire proof, water proof, regenerative (as long as there is adequate spirit energy), +15 strength, +20 agility.]
[Cost - 2550 Heaven's tower points.]
Dexter spared no effort and bought it. He was now wearing tight, long sleeved, turtle neck, black shirt which was plain but tight, showing Dexter's athletic figure.
He also wore black pants which also had the same qualities as the shirt.
"I liked Leo's armour but the armours here costs too much, with the lowest being 11,000 points." He mumbled as he checked how much points he had left.
[Heaven's tower points: 11,301]
'I still have a lot of points. Let me check out weapons.' Dexter went and began to look at the weapons one by one while contemplating which to choose.
Dexter then touched an orb and a peculiar weapon showed up in front of him.
[Shadow spear (sixth class): The wielder of this weapon shall have the shadow attribute and be able to use it. When equipped +50 strength.
(Shadow is a natural affinity of vampires. Thus spear would be a good fit for you. Now give me those points.)
Requirements - Mind stat 120+]
[Cost - 9500 Heaven's tower points.]
Dexter put his hand on his jaw as he began to think. One thing about the spear was that it allows the user to access a skill.
He has not seen a weapon which has it's own skill set before.
'This is good. With just 50 strength points, I'm easily able to lift up a car.' He smiled as he picked up the orb. 'I guess I'll just try it when I get back.'
He tapped the buy button and the orb shone brightly before forming a pitch black spear which had golden engravings on it.
The black blade at the tip had a metallic sheen and it just felt right for Dexter who held it.
"Oh." Dexter suddenly remembered something.
'Last time I bought basic spearmanship. I wonder if I can find the advanced one here.' He then began to look around the skill area and he wasn't able to find it there.
"Sera." He looked around but he couldn't find the arrogant fairy anywhere.
"Yes."
"Ah!" Dexter shouted out of shock as Sera suddenly appeared beside him.
Seeing the fairy laughing Dexter just cleared his throat and asked what he wanted to ask.
"Last time I learned basic spearmanship. I was wondering where I could find the advanced version." Dexter said and the fairy snapped her fingers.
An orb appeared in her hand and she gave Dexter.
"Honestly, the spear forms and method of use are still weak as they are just from Earth. You could buy specific spear skills, but they cost a lot." She said but Dexter just smiled bitterly as he already used most of his points on Shadow spear.
[Advanced spearmanship: Reach the level of a master spearman with this skill.]
[Cost - 1200 points.]
Dexter didn't waste any time and bought it immediately. He then thanked Sera for her service.
"No need to thank me. I'm just doing my job." She turned around and vanished and Dexter went back to the lower floor.
...
"Hm? Still here?" Dexter came down and the three people from before saw him.
The three of them walked towards him and Dexter felt hostility from Quan in the middle.
'Maybe they're not coming for me?' Dexter thought as he just focused on walking.
The three of them were looking at him from head to toe.
His new outfit looked stretchy and he would be able to fight properly in it without restrictions.
Quan just stopped him from advancing anymore. Dexter was a few centimeters taller than him.
"Let's duel." Quan said as he raised a sword slashing upwards.
Dexter wasn't slow either and jumped backwards before summoning destroyer, his first spear.
"Why duel?" Dexter asked but Quan wasn't willing to answer and just lunged at him.
"I'm thinking Quan became more childish." Lin Bai said to Natasha.
"No. This is the way he was trained. His pride comes before anything else." She said and Lin Bai just sighed in defeat.
Dexter was only defending as he found this guy's attacks quite heavy.
'He's only at level 5 and his attacks are so heavy. Is he even human?' Dexter thought as he defended himself from another attack.
All of a sudden Quan rushed to Dexter with the speed of someone above level 5 and in that moment, everything froze.
"No fighting allowed in Heaven's tower!!" Sera's angry voice came from every direction and they found themselves at the edge of the bridge which lead to the tower.
Quan looked at Dexter, still with hostility and Dexter just touched the empty space at the edge of the bridge and he was pulled in.
Quan was still furious as he still stood there after Lin Bai and Natasha left.
"No one steps on a dragon's pride. We will meet again." Quan said before he too vanished and went back to earth.
