Chapter 1604 (2/2)
Split Path! As you create your newfound organization, it is possible to either make the position of Baron to be Designated or Challenge-Based. Designated positions will be given by the user to the chosen Riders. Challenge-Based will rely on the Riders themselves to fight to determine who will hold on to the position. Which will you choose?
“Challenge-Based, of course,” Randidly grinned at the notification. Then he belatedly paused. Hopefully, their zeal to earn a Baronship wouldn’t have them killing each other...
For choosing Challenge-Based, the intelligence of your summons has slightly increased! The growth potential of your summons had increased! The creativity and independence of your summons has greatly increased! For completing the Path, Reaction +30!
After the notifications ceased, a new Peerage of the Baleful Court II had appeared for 1200 PP. Seeing such a little change in his total PP, Randidly went ahead and poured more PP into this Path. Every 50 PP earned him 1 Grim Intuition and 1 Wisdom.
Congratulations! To accommodate your entourage, the Path you follow has necessarily widened. No longer is a simple circle in the dirt sufficient to host such noble personages. The organization behind you has become truly grand. In terms of size and scope, it is comparable to a small city. With such influence, it is impossible for four Barons to manage all of the day to day operations of your operation. Thus your Peerage must expand.
Split Path! Once more, a familiar fork sits in front of you. Should you add additional fixed positions to your Peerage or continue to allow your organization to grow and change freely, like its own living organism? Please note, the effects of choosing freedom are somewhat unpredictable, depending entirely upon the nascent Spirit you have grown.
“I choose freedom,” This time, there truly was no hesitation in Randidly’s answer. To Randidly, freedom for Expira and for other unsuspecting planets from the Nexus was exactly why he had resolved himself to gather power. But as he spoke, a more pragmatic part of him had a much less righteous thought. After all, making a rigid structure means more work for me…
For giving your Riders freedom, their growth potential has again increased! They have obtained a condensed five Stats: Constitution, Dexterity, Intellect, Spirit, and Luck! Growth Rates for their Stats vary between individuals.
You have created 100 ‘Fangs’ that will be distributed amongst your Riders! A Rider can accumulate Fangs by challenging and defeating another Rider with Fangs! As a Rider gathers additional Fangs, they will wield more of your prestige and influence within the community. Please note that something special may occur if all 100 Fangs are gathered by one individual.
Congratulations! For completing the Path, Grim Intuition and Wisdom +50!
As Randidly had expected, Peerage of the Baleful Court III now waited for him in his Path screen for 2000 PP. In addition, it had an additional moniker following it: Peerage of the Baleful Court III (Spirit). Humming to himself Randidly poured out a little bit more from his seemingly infinite pot of PP. As he did so, he was somewhat annoyed to earn nothing during the input of PP. But it just made him look forward to the rewards that much more.
Congratulations! What was once a bare and lonely court has now come alive. Trophies and items of power lay scattered through your retinue. But the further you advance, the more pressure sits upon your shoulders. Your Riders move around you with a plethora of intentions; yours is a court that does not place heavy restrictions upon its members. Which means that the helm is that much more difficult to manage. They sit below you, their Leader, but otherwise all that matters is their own capabilities.
Your actions have been witnessed and integrated by your Riders while they have served you. As the liege, your choices inevitably have drawn their attention. But even more than your individual decisions, it is the broader construction of the Baleful Court itself that has been impressed upon the hearts of your Riders.
Congratulations! Your Baleful Court has developed the Spirit: Endeavor of Valor.
Freedom, independence, and respect form the core of your Court. Due to this, there is an increased chance that the Riders might someday decide not to follow you. However, you have proceeded forward without worrying about such a future. In the now, you have always attempted to show them how violence can be used to build and challenge the unknown.
Congratulations! Your Riders have been separated into tiers! After accumulating a sufficient amount of experience, they shall increase their Tier. During the transformation process, the physical form of the Rider will sometimes change. This chance increases with the number of Fangs they have gathered! Fangs have been separated into Tiers.
Currently, you possessed 1201 Tier I Riders, 926 Tier II Riders, and 6 Tier III Riders! For completing the Path and earning the Spirit Endeavor of Valor, Free Stats +50!
Synchronicity detected! Recalculating…
Your Skill Ruinous Drive (Ru) has evolved into the March of Ruin and Valor (L)! Skill Level will be maintained.
The March of Ruin and Valor (L): The Skill of a Commander that leads by example. While the weapons of ruin can be turned on your foes, the body of your subordinates can also be harmed by such implements. Which is why the mantle of valor is so important. Slightly increase the attack, movement speed, and defense of all subordinates. A small portion of the damage dealt by subordinates cannot be prevented. A small portion of damage received is unilaterally blocked. Effects slightly increase with Skill Level.
Congratulations! Your Skill Riders of the Baleful Court (A) has evolved into Lancers of the Baleful Crusade (L)! Skill Level will be maintained.
“A good start,” Randidly said aloud with sparkling eyes. And seeing that he still had 85k PP to spend, he was quite pleased with the current state of affairs.
