volume 2 - Chapter 142 (1/2)
Chapter 142 – Warm words of hope (4)
The battle was over quickly.
Even though the enemy riders fought Brendel’s mercenaries on equal grounds in the beginning, the situation quickly turned to a one-sided slaughter when Brendel and Scarlett joined in the battle.
Silver and red flashes shot into the riders’ formation as Element powers were fired repeatedly, and from the sky it looked like an ice dragon and lightning dragon were gobbling up the riders.
When they realized they could not defeat Brendel and his men, they quickly yelled in terror and fled in all directions However, they were unable to escape Brendel and Scarlett’s pursuit. Thirty minutes later, all the riders were killed and their corpses were scattered all over the plains.
Brendel did not summon Medissa because he wanted to hide his true strength or the battle would have been over much quicker. There was no telling if there were Madara scouts following him.
He sat at a distance away from his men regained his composure after the battle while they cleaned up the battlefield. He realized that his newfound strength was not something temporary and had lasted all throughout the battle. There was no doubt that he had gained enough stats to be on par with a level 40+ Gold-ranked fighter.
[The duel with my grandfather increased the skill of my swordsmans.h.i.+p before. I had wondered if this was how a NPC leveled up their skill or was it a quest reward? I initially thought I needed to do some related quests to unseal my Element but it seemed like it’s not necessary now. Typically most NPCs are stuck at the Gold-ranked tier because they are unable to unseal their Element powers…… I’ll open up the Stats Window to be sure—]
His eyes went wide when he saw the information displayed in front of him.
[I’m still level 32— but my stats have increased by thirty percent?! What happened?]
He immediately switched the menus rapidly before he suddenly froze and went back a few pages.
– Brendel (Level 32 Elite NPC)
He looked at his name for a few moments and blinked stupidly. He finally realized that he possessed both the special quality reserved for a NPC as well as a system for gamers. He could raised his skill proficiency by points or increase it by ‘special events’.
[Are you serious? What would the next t.i.tle would be? Unique NPC? Boss NPC? Elite Boss NPC?]
He complained to himself when he realized he was becoming something like a monster who had special attributes. One day he might have some crazy ‘Final Boss Form’ while changing three or four times to get there…..
He suddenly jerked his head left and right; perhaps there was going to be a 25 men raid party that was going to appear out of nowhere in the future. The entire thing was too surreal.
[…… Well, is there any stat resistances or elite skills available?]
He changed the menu once again and discovered three new ability slots under his character sheet.
– ??? (Level 45)
– ??? (Level 47)
– ??? (Level 60)
He immediately guessed that these abilities were locked until he reached the appropriate level, and it was probably necessary to add skill points into them before he could use the skills.
[The skills of an Elite are not that impressive. Even the stat resistance bonuses are about the same as wearing a cloak or something. Maybe if I get a Boss NPC t.i.tle and above…… Then things would be different.]
