Chapter 130: Monstrous Stats (2/2)

”When we attacked that creature, we felt as if whatever strength we attacked with gets absorbed into a giant pillow.”

”A giant… pillow?” Arthur was confused by the analogy but nodded nonetheless.

”You didn't feel it?” Zas asked with a frown. Arthur shook his head and lied.

”I stall lack the control to perceive such things. I was just your average joe a few months ago.” He said with a shrug and the rest didn't protest. Zas also didn't ask further as he remembered that Arthur was still a neo-ranker.

The real reason was that his runes were effective against the Ender. Arthur's strength was always augmented by runes and his blade was always covered with the fire rune. That's why he didn't feel the Ender being able to do what the others said.

There was also the matter of him using the Teleportation in front of them even though they thought his ability was related to fire. He had no idea how to explain things to them without revealing that he could control runes, the source of every ability out there.

Even though they didn't ask directly, as it was an unspoken rule that abilities shouldn't be forced to reveal, Arthur knew that a certain doubt would forever exist in their hearts if he didn't explain it. However, his well-being mattered more than their trust at the moment, so he left it at that.

”What's the standards for these numbers?” Si asked with curiosity as he looked at the pillar. To be honest, Arthur was caught off guard. Luckily, Si continued talking. ”Is it the standardized stats used in some artifacts?”

”Yes, 10 points are the average non-awakener. That doesn't mean a thousand non-awakener can beat Li, not in a million years. Maybe they could do some harm if they all struck him at the same time in the same spot, nothing more. The higher these points get, the more strength each point represent.”

Arthur snickered inwardly as he felt he should provide them with a graph showing how these points didn't represent a (strength points = actual strength) function, but rather (strength points*x= actual strength).

He had a vague idea of what (x) represents, but he knew it wasn't a direct relationship between the points and how much strength a person can wield. It can be dependent on talent, mana, or arts.

The rest also hurried to test their stats and Arthur was more shocked. First was Sier with his insane perception.

[Strength: 536.]

[Agility: 707.]

[Stamina: 423.]

[Perception: 1000.]

[Mana: 402/402.]

His stats were rather abnormal as 1000 was the limit for Deme-rankers. Arthur had no doubts that if Si wanted to, he could see anything even if it was thousands of miles away. What worried Arthur was his low mana, was this the reason he couldn't help him find his father at the moment?

Ivy came next and Arthur wasn't as shocked anymore until he saw her mana. He never considered Ivy to be the fighting type of the mage types, since most of her attacks were reliant on her ability or mana.

[Strength: 630.]

[Agility: 302.]

[Stamina: 399.]

[Perception: 209.]

[Mana: 703/703.]

She had a higher mana level than Sier and Li, but she didn't seem proud as she knew that they were stronger than her. The next person to test their stats was Hua, and they were rather ordinary except for Mana and perception.

[Strength: 361.]

[Agility: 588.]

[Stamina: 344.]

[Perception: 699.]

[Mana: 606/606.]

As for the other two, they declined, saying that numbers didn't mean anything, echoing each other.

Arthur smiled and nodded, leading them toward the chambers on the side.
