Chapter 342 All Eyes On You (3)
The twin stars were up early in the sky. Since Ashton was given a mandatory two-day quarantine, he decided it was the best time to use his rewards and get stronger by using unallocated stat points. After all, it had been a while since he last opened the stats page. As a result, a lot of unallocated stat points had been accumulated.
As for the girls, they were already on their way to clear their remaining trials. Both the twins had one trial remaining while Anna had to complete three more. As for him... well, his trials were either too difficult or unnecessarily time-consuming. He knew in future, he might have to focus on clearing the trials as soon as he could.
"For now, let's see what fruits my two labours have generated." Ashton excitedly rubbed his hands together.

[So close and yet so far... I guess you'll be evolving again sooner than I expected. Your stats are not half bad for someone of your grade. Congratulations, you have officially graduated from being a moron to being a Dimwit.]
"Wanna know what you have graduated into?" Ashton sternly replied.
[No thanks.]
Ashton ignored Astaroth and focused on the good news. No matter how long he stared at his stats page, he could not figure out anything that he needed to correct. His levels and stats were all just as they should have been.
'No, they have exceeded my expectations. I never thought just clearing two trials will get me to this level already.'
He could only imagine how strong he would be once he finishes all of the trials. But for now, he had to focus on efficiently using his points. His previous battles were tough, but they weren't enough to push him to the limit.
That being said, since he had one more summon under his control, it was necessary for him to increase his intelligence. No necromancer would want to lose control over their summons because of a lack of intelligence.
'Here goes 20 points down in the drain.'
[So you admit your mind is as good as drainage?]
'Of course. You live in it so it has to be filled with sewage.'
[Technically, both of those things are different-]
'Shut it.'

After taking care of the stats, Ashton decided to look into his new title: [Atlas' Slayer]. The title was pretty useless... until the time to face another Xyran would arise. The effect was similar to that of [Hydra's Adversary].
He would take less damage from Xyrans, but deal more damage to them. But the title effect would activate only when he would face another Xyran or a Xyran subspecies. Since the title could only be used for a specific use, Ashton realised right now, that the title was a bit useless to him.
However, the other rewards he got for killing Atlas were not as shabby. After all, the reward for defeating Atlas was to get one of his abilities. Since all of the abilities Atlas had been good, it didn't matter which ability he was awarded. It would be a win-win situation for him.
The only thing was, that the ability he'll get would be adjusted according to his grade and not his level. Therefore, no matter what ability he ended up with, they wouldn't be as strong as they were when Atlas was using them. Also, he wasn't allowed to select the ability, he would be randomly allotted one of them.
"Let's see what we get..."
__
The reward is being randomised...
Randomisation completed.
>> Divinity: Additionally absorbed stamina can be used to dish out increased damage based on the user's HP. Deals 10 (+3% of user's maximum hp) as true damage to the surrounding enemies every 2 seconds.
<Divinity> skill is being adjusted to suit the user.
Congratulations! New Vampire skill: <Irreverence> has been created.
>> Irreverence: Drinking others' blood will heal the user. However, absorbing blood from others while having full HP would be stored as 'extra HP'. The user can also convert their HP into 'extra HP'. This 'extra HP' could be used to deal damage to the targets in a small area. Deals 20% of the user's physical attack (+2% of the user's extra hp) as true damage to the surrounding enemies every 3 seconds.

'...'
[Ahem... do I need to explain-]
"Nah, I'm good."
[Good, good... just wanted to say the skill causes continuous true damage. So you must know how important the skill is. Just... try not to use it too often or else all of the high-grade beings will have their eyes on you.]
Ashton nodded. He was hoping to get this skill, but since Divinity depended on another skill which was used for stamina absorption, he wasn't so excited about getting the skill. Thankfully, the skill was altered to suit him. Otherwise, getting this skill would have been quite a disaster.
With the rewards on his end sorted out, Ashton decided to focus on the last reward: The Grim Reaper's Scythe. However, not everything could go the way he wanted them to and the Scythe only proved that point.
"Any progress?"
[Unfortunately, no. The corruption rate of the scythe far exceeds anything I have seen till now. Forget about using it, even touching it now would do you more harm than good. And before you ask, feeding it to Balmond might not work the way you want it to.]
"The scythe might end up corrupting Balmond?"
[I'm not sure, but I would not recommend doing anything we are not sure about. I'm sure you wouldn't be so keen on losing Balmond to your greed.]
Ashton remained quiet. The scythe was supposed to make Balmond stronger than ever before. But now, it was impossible.
"Dwelling about it ain't gonna help us." Ashton jumped off the bed and began stretching, "Rather than that, I should focus on obtaining information about the remaining trials."
