Chapter 93: The return of the Tycoon (1/2)
Since his MARTIAL ART skill wasn't officially Master Grade and not even semi-Master like his MANA SENSE used to be, he couldn't fully use it at his TRANCE ROOM, but it wasn't completely restricted from being used.
He tried the moves Soryn described, and he tried to adjust to his fighting style during the training exercise with the Golems.
He created a Golem with the Defense shape, but since there wasn't any earth there, it was made purely by mana, almost like his MANA DOUBLES but different as it wasn't entirely made by his mana but the mana of the room.
He noticed that he could feel some of his mana if he focused enough and use it in there, but it wasn't recharging as fast as the room's mana.
He still didn't know where this mana was coming from, but not many knew how Trance worked, and the ones who knew were keeping it a secret.
He trained his MARTIAL ART skill by sparring with his Golem.
As time passed, he felt the restrictions on the Skill to get weaker and weaker as, after a point, they were gone entirely.
His MARTIAL ART was finally Master Rank.
Other than some of his crafting and enchanting skills, only his STEALTH skill was at Base Rank.
He was combining it with the CAMOUFLAGE spell, so it wasn't getting increases as much as if he used it by itself.
He couldn't train it here as it was fast from Master Rank and was completely restricted in there.
Since he could use his MARTIAL ART completely know he changed his training to the same he was before having Golems protecting his MANA DOUBLE, which he made with his mana and not the rooms.
The room's mana didn't seem to belong to a specific Element. Still, he could use it for spells needing a particular Element of mana, and it seemed to adjust itself but not ideally or at least not as good as his actual mana of that Element.
But for his DOME OF SILENCE, which was using Dark Element Mana in theory as the shadows powered it, it seemed to work better in here than out of the room.
He wasn't planning to get his Mana Pool to produce Dark Element as it wasn't a good combination to have since he had Light, but he was planning to have one of Zhen's Dark Mana Gem with him to help him cast it when needed.
Time passed, and when he had to end his TRANCE, he had made some significant progress at his MARTIAL ART and GOLEMANCY, which he felt of reaching a bottleneck at that couldn't pass even in there.
He woke up and started hearing the hammering of Volig as the bed was in the forge room. Both he and Volig were used to that type of noise, and it was like music to them, and they were able to sleep with no problem if one was working like that.
He stood up from his bed and noticed that other than him and Volig, there was one more person in the room.
This person was Wild Tycoon, but her equipment was different than before.
She had heavy metal armor covering her whole body and made it hard to understand she was a girl, especially if she wore her helmet.
But now, she had no armor on, just regular clothes close to what Annoue was wearing. She also wore a sleeveless vest with a pair of eagle eyes—one eye at each side at the front part of the vest and the height of her heart.
This was a reward for her to successfully earning her special class, the Spirit Barbarian.
She had to find an old Shaman who would teach her to call the spirits to strengthen her body or senses or give her inhuman abilities.
The class was also strengthening her natural defense and reflexes making her fighting better without the need for armor.
Some spirits would try to take control of her through her emotions. That is why she needed the Rage skills, as this Skill gave her some control of her emotion, especially the negative ones, which the Spirits would try to use against her.
Without having that Skill, the NPC wouldn't even consider accepting her as to teach her.
The vest was like a channel for the Spirit to reside while Tycoon was using their power.
Most spirits were taking forms of beasts, and higher ones took the form of other creatures, among them human forms or demon forms.
She was currently seemed to have one Eagle Spirit, which helped to strengthen her speed and sight.
She noticed Shingi getting up right away as her eyes have changed to look like one of an Eagle.
She mode towards him and bowed, which was rare for her.
”Thank you for this gift.”[Wild Tycoon]
Shingi was glad that she appreciated it as some considered the class not so good as it was easy to summon a powerful Spirit.
But even the best ones were quite useful if used correctly.
”It's good to have you back. I am sure Phoenix will be glad to see you, but I have to inform you about a few things first.”[Shingi]
He was confident that Phoenix didn't know that she was back or she would also be around.
So Shingi started telling Tycoon what happened with the Guild while she was away.
She was in the capsule during all that time and didn't even talk through chat with Phoenix. So she wasn't aware of any of the events that happened while she was gone.
The Tycoon of the past would be ready to charge out and slash everyone, but now she had learned to control these kinds of impulses and not let them control her.
Shingi was glad to see this change in her personality.
This was a great thing about the game as it helped develop some players' personalities even in real life. But it wasn't always towards the best.
