Chapter 556: Bountiful Rewards
Chapter 556: Bountiful Rewards
Alice escorted Souta in the Guardian Fortress. Souta at this moment was too vulnerable. He didn’t have best feram in his monster orb and his parasite was incapable of regenerating his wounds. Also, every time he moved his body extreme pain will assault him. All of these were the effect of pushing his body to the limit in fighting Rowan.
“Are you okay, Souta?” Isabella went to his side and asked him with a concerned look.
“You check it,”
Souta said as he slowly closed his eyes. He leaned his back on the wall comfortably but the moment his back touches the wall he groaned in pain.
“Aww!”
His tolerance to pain was high but it seems that this battle affected his nerves. His pain sensitivity had increased by several folds.
Isabella checked his body after she received his permission. Then, she went to her laboratory to take potions that could help him in his current condition.
While waiting for Isabella, Souta opened the system interface in mind.
*Ding!*
[Congratulations for completing the quest Riot!]
[You’ve gained 20 skill points, 55 free attribute points, and 50 million exp!]
This was his reward for completing the final quest of the chain quest. It was a huge haul of points and he will be able to unlock one of the abilities in the legacy. It was great and he didn’t regret coming to the central continent because of this.
Now that he thinks about it, Alice introduced Amanda to him and he triggered her chain quest. It seems that he owes her one this time. He wouldn’t even think of coming to this continent if he didn’t have the chain quest. He would’ve stayed in the south continent increasing his energy capacity before he returned to Imperium.
Souta couldn’t help but smirk inwardly. He then looked at the messages in the interface once again.
*Ding!*
[You’ve gained 13,500,379 exp for defeating an SS-rank expert!]
[You’ve leveled up!]
[Your Health had increased by 100!]
[Your Energy had increased by 20!]
[Your Stamina had increased by 20!]
[Your Strength had increased by 50!]
[Your Agility, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Vitality have increased by 30!]
[Your Physical and Energy Damage have increased by 5%!]
[Your Physical and Energy Resistance have increased by 5%]
[Your Health, Energy, and Stamina Recovery have increased by 10!]
[You’ve gained 1 skill point!]
[You’ve gained 2 free attribute points!]
He reached Level 52 and finally got closer to his next evolution. After he learned the Archetype, his level become 51 at that time and there’s only a little black space in his exp bar. But that little blank space still needed a few millions of exp.
Then, as for the evaluation of the Chain Quest and Special Quest…
*Ding!*
[Congratulations for completing the Special Quest]!
[Congratulations for completing the Chain Quest!]
[Processing the grade…]
[Processing complete!]
[You’ve received Grade A- score!]
[Calculating the rewards…]
[Calculating completed!]
[You’ve received 550,000 exp, 10 skill points, 25 free attribute points, 1 Blank skill card, 3 Energy Recovery cards, 2 Skill Level-up cards, and 2 Level-up card!]
This was the bonus reward for completing the entire Chain Quest. The evaluation reward and the next one was the reward of the Special Quest.
[You’ve received 5 skill points, 15 free attribute points, and 100,000 exp!]
The rewards of the Special Quest were nothing compared to what he received from Quest 4 and the Chain Quest. It was too few but he could understand it. It only means that the casualties on the witch’s side were high to the point that his rewards had decreased to only this much points.
In this quest, he strangely triggered two Special Quests. It was quite rare and he glanced at the reward that he received for completing the second Special Quest.
[Congratulations for completing the quest Kill!]
[You’ve received a Special Character Invocation Card =Blood=!]
It was the first time that he received a reward like this. Even in the game, he never saw any cards like Special Character Invocation Card.
Narrowing his eyes, Souta opened the details of the card. He roughly guessed the function of this card but he had to confirm it with his own eyes to make sure that he wouldn’t miss a detail when he used it in the future.
[Special Character Invocation Card =Blood=]: Using this card will let you temporarily gain the power and possession of Blood.
Note: This card is a one-time use card. It will disappear after you use it. The power you gained will last for an hour.
Oi! Oi! Is this even a joke?! His character in the game was his reward?! He could temporarily use every arsenal that he used in the past. He knew his character like the back of his mind so he knew how powerful it is. Even though Blood didn’t have any Archetype or Best Feram, Blood was still unbelievably strong. It was a broken character.
It was his accumulation for playing the Battle Worlds Online for ten years.
This was mad. This one card would be enough to turn a whole situation upside-down. Even if the three shackled realm experts of Witch Clan worked together they wouldn’t last a minute against him if he activated this card.
Using Blood, he slew demon commanders of the demon army in the war and in the war against three Bringers of Calamity, he slew seven-circle officers of the Deadly Sins and those archbishops of the God’s Will.
He shook his head and put those thoughts on the back of his mind. The rewards that he received were worth all the hard work that he put in it. He was satisfied as he couldn’t help but smile to himself.
He earned 36 skill points and he had left 32 skill points before. So he had a total of 68 skill points at this moment. It would be enough for him to unlock and learn another ability in the legacy. He had to complete it as he knew that his title [Cosmic Sign: Ophiuchus] would receive a boost after a learned all the ability.
While he was thinking about this, Isabella came back with various potions in her hands.
“Here, this one is for pain. This one will let you relax. This one will recover some of your wounds.”
One by one she handed him the potions while explaining its use to him.
“O-Oh… I see…” Souta nodded as he opened the cap of the bottle and drank the liquid within.
Gulp!
After drinking all the potions, Souta glanced at Alice and asked, “How is the situation outside?”
“The same as before. Torkez is counting the casualties on our side and the witches are doing the same thing. Both sides suffer heavy casualties.” Alice said to him.
Souta already expected it. He wouldn’t receive a Grade A- score if the casualties from witches were small. He slowly opened his mouth and said, “Gather everyone here in an hour. I will rest here for now. I’ll talk to them after that.”
“I understand.” Alice glanced at him one more time before she left the room.
Souta was tired and he wanted to sleep right now but he knew that he still had to do a lot of things. He could barely move his body and the pain lessened thanks to Isabella’s potion.
He glanced at the total skill points that he had before he looked at the store. His skill points and free attribute points were enough to unlock and integrate another ability.
He didn’t hesitate anymore and use his points to unlock the [Galaxy Eyes]. Then, he used a bunch of points once again to integrate it into his body.
A total of 30 skill points and 60 free attribute points were consumed in an instant.
[Unsealing the Galaxy Eyes…]
[1%… 13%… 25%… 47%… 81%… 99%…]
*Ding!*
[Unsealing complete!]
[Warning!]
[Prepare yourself!]
Souta gritted his teeth and he felt very intense pain in his body. The pain was several times greater when he integrated the [Nebula Heart]. It was especially worse in his eyes.
After a while, the pain disappeared and he heard the system prompt in his mind.
*Ding!*
[You’ve gained Galaxy Eyes!]
He slowly opened his eyes to look around. It has still the same color but it felt like it contained heavy power.
Oh,
His vision was adjusting and he could see the energy flow in the atmosphere, the natural energy of this planet. His eyes adjusted once again and he could now see the heat in his surrounding. The creatures were visible to his eyes even if they were beyond the walls.
“Isabella!” Souta said and Isabella quickly came to his room.
“Do you need something, Souta?”
When he saw Isabella his eyes adjusted once again. He could see the mana pool in her body. It was below her chest and on the upper part of her abdomen.
It was in liquid form, indicating that she was an A-rank expert. He could see the mana flowing out of it supplying her body. Then, using this pair of eyes he would be able to know if his opponents were going to make a huge attack based on the energy he could see from their bodies. It was pretty useful in battle.
What shocked him the most was that he could see the invisible shackles around her body. The shackles that limited the mortal’s ability.
“Souta…” Isabella looked at him strangely. She felt that he was looking at her and not at the same time.. It was a weird feeling that she got when someone was prying on her.
