84 Bronze Ring (1/2)

[King: Able to produce a dominating aura. While this is activated, the people looking at you will feel intimidated. The stronger and more confident you are, the stronger the aura will become.]

The instant he saw the title, Dorian liked it. After all, who didn't want to be king? But at the same time, he was worried. One can only put one title at a time, so would his killing aura disappear? He doubted it though, because of that tree in his mind.

Still, Dorian tried it out. He felt a little thing change, and tried to use his killing aura. He could use it, and on the same scale as before. Why couldn't he put several titles at once then?

This time, the system answered his doubts:

[The limitation on titles only works on some of them. Your titles [Butcher] and [King] allow you to use auras by inserting a part of it in you, so it is definitive. No matter which title you have equipped, you will be able to use your auras. This is the first kind of title, that grants you a power, they can't be limited. The second kind, are the titles that enhances an attribute for example, or a skill. Those need to be equipped for them to work.]

Dorian nodded, that was great for him. But that also meant his two titles were useless. If he could use the auras whether they are on or not, then he might as well change the next time he gets one.

Closing his eyes, Dorian took a quick look in his mind. More precisely, he looked at the tree next to his house. As he expected, the thing he felt change in his mind wasn't the title, but that little tree. Next to the branch on which the red leaves grew, another branch appeared. On it, a white bud was starting to grow.

It was now sure, this tree was made for his auras. But he wondered, was there a limit to the number of branches? Of leaves?

Dorian exited his mind and looked at the people around him. They were a little too weak, how could those people be so high in the shop? With an attribute of 30 in Strength, they can't even stand a little bit of his aura.

What Dorian didn't take in account was that not everybody was like him, upgrading every attribute. Most of the people here, they had a high strength, but lower attributes. And for someone who prioritized Strength, the attribute they would use the less was without hesitation Intelligence, so of course with a low Intelligence stat they can't cope with his aura.

An aura was nothing more than a spell, and like all spells, it's effectiveness depended on two things: The mastery of the spell, and the caster's Intelligence attribute. That's why, although Dorian never used his King Aura before, it was still to hard to bear for them.

Dorian's intelligence wasn't just at 30, but at 35 thanks to his equipment. That means, for the people in the room, it was just like a mage with an Intelligence of 35 had thrown a spell they never practiced with before at them. It was extremely powerful for their weak mind.

Dorian looked away from the other people on the floor with a sneer and started walking up the stairs for the next floor. Meanwhile, the people looked at his back in astonishment. Who was this? For someone to be so relaxed on the seventh floor of Pandora's Box and yet have such a high Intelligence attribute, how could they not know of him? Had a new powerhouse risen silently?

Dorian reached the next floor, and felt the gravity increase again. This time, he needed 35 of Strength. There was only two other people on this floor. One was a Caucasian with a katana on his side, dressed in black robes, his dark hair tied up in a ponytail, while the other was an African American man who was so muscular that even if Dorian and the Caucasian stood next to each other, he would still be larger than them.

His first impression of the two was that the Caucasian was a calm man ready to cut you in two at any moment, while the black man looked like he would crush anyone in his way. The two looked at Dorian in surprise, but said nothing and went back to shop.

Likewise, Dorian did the same and started browsing through the things he saw. For the first time, he saw Blue Rank Items. He continued searching, and was only able to find a few Blue Rank Items.

Unfortunately, there weren't any Expert ability books, but there were no Basic either, there were only Adept abilities and Green skill books.
