Chapter 690
I managed to stay calm and didn’t panic at all. I coolly considered the situation. I couldn’t access the store, and I didn’t have the dungeon lores anymore. However, I did still have the dungeon skills I had selected before it went away. Although I couldn’t use Portal as it was locked by whatever binding he had done to me, I still had four jobs equipped. My ability to switch out jobs at will hadn’t gone away.
So, the seal was able to block active skills, but not skills that worked passively. Although my blessings were gone, I still had the last few skills that I had equipped before I lost the blessing and the access to my store. That meant that I had Four Jobs, 10X Experience, 3 Portals, Silent Feet, Hide Presence, Map, and Reset. I usually had Advanced Learning equipped, but because we were assaulting the castle, I thought it best if I had a few sneaking skills active.
I also surveyed my jobs. It had been a very long time since I had taken a look. White Mage was now 45, and True Dungeon Diver had reached level 50 without unlocking any new job. That meant that there might be some other condition for more Dungeon Diving. Slave Master was at 48. It leveled faster given that it was attached to my girls. True Hero was now at 32, so it was lagging behind the other jobs. I had also gotten Harem Master up to 15, Dark priest up to 15, Cartographer to 7, Linguist to 5, Monster Tamer to 30, Intermediate Magician to 10, and Merchant reached 8.
These levels came both from using skills and also the occasional leveling I was able to do on Bandits or in the dungeon. With a 10X experience, levels could come quite easily. I also got experience from my slaves too, although I wasn’t clear how it all got factored in. I knew I leveled far faster than a normal person though. After all, I hadn’t even been in this world for half a year, yet I already had levels you’d likely see on a skilled adventurer in their 30s.
I tried to gauge my strength in the Adventuring Guild, and I was told that I sat at around a B rank. I think they were still underestimating me. After all, I did defeat the A-rank adventurer Alysia in one on one battle. Then again, that was kind of a conditional fight, and I really couldn’t take credit for all of it. Octius had aided me a lot in weakening her and teaching me, and even then, there was a bit of luck involved.
With these kinds of thoughts, I managed to drag things out until someone came to my cell. It was a day or two later. I actually couldn’t remember how long I had been there. I was grabbed and pulled out of the cell. Chains were placed on my hands and I was dragged forward by several guards, or Demonic Knights, I suppose. The mystery of where Lord Reign was getting all the knights was finally answered, although I wasn’t any happier with that knowledge.
We ended up walking down a large, dark hall for some time. Were they bringing me to my execution? I looked around, trying to come up with a means of escape. Even then, I still didn’t feel fear. I could hear the sounds of constant screaming, but it wasn’t until they pulled me outside that I realized where I was. I found myself covering my eyes as I was brought out into a cheering arena. This was the gladiatorial arena. This is where I was going to face my punishment, as a public spectacle.
