Chapter 191: Catching Up [2]
***
Amon's Void Training.
It was soon.
'I need to check it.' Amon reminded himself and quickly opened up his system window.
There were also some other things that he had failed to see during his battles in the midterms.
So, he checked his system overall now.
====[ STATS AND SKILLS ]====
Leaves: 0000000=
VIT: > ◊ ◊ ◊
STR: ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
AGI: ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
END:<> ◊ ◊ ◊
INT: > ◊ ◊ ◊
(> will be now added to show an increase in the stats from the previous system screen for the convenience of readers.)
Amon was pleasantly satisfied as he nodded.
Even though the progress was slow compared to what he had been through since the start of the tournament.
His rank also needed to be taken into account.
With each rank increase, the progress in the stats started to get slower and harder.
And because of that, a +1 increase in 3 stats was truly impressive.
Besides, he hasn't used much strength till now anyway.
So a 0-point increase was expected.
Closing the window, Amon opened his affinity tab.
[VOID]: Level 3×××◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
[BLOOD]: Level 2×××× > ◊
[LIGHTNG]: Level 2×××◊ ◊ ◊
[SOUND]: Level 1 > 2××◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
[CRYSTAL]: Level 1 > 2×◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
Familiar Arts
'Damn..' Amon noticed the change in several elements.
His [Sound] and [Crystal] elements had both leveled up.
'But I don't remember any influx of information?' He thought.
He didn't get any impact or information flux like he usually did when an element leveled up.
'Hmmm did I not get any new applications?' He thought as he tried to think of how to use Sound and Crystal.
And to his surprise, a large number of new and creative ways instantly came up to him.
They weren't there before the level...
'Did I get the influx when I was sleeping or something?'
Was it even possible for that to happen?
He quickly turned to Zephyra and asked her.
She nodded, hearing his question.
[Sometimes, simultaneous level-up of two elements can bombard and make your brain explode. The system then slowly feeds that information to your brain to make it digest better and without any harm.]
'Oh..' Amon nodded.
He manifested a nodachi of crystal in his hand, something that he couldn't do before.
Then, a slim coating of gray started to outline the sword.
Looking around, Amon quickly picked up a glass in his hand.
And then....
As lightly as he could, tapped the edge of the nodachi on the tip of the glass.
CRACK! CRUNCH!
It didn't even take a millisecond for the glass to explode in tiny splinters, all around the room.
Fortunately, before Lily could come in, he immediately stored the shards in his inventory. "Daddy!" Lily came through the door.
Amon smiled.
"Nothing happened, you can go back to work."
Heeding his words, Lily went back outside after looking around curiously like a child for some
seconds.
Amon sighed in relief.
But he was amazed inside.
'Sound coating is broken...' He realized.
Even the nodachi he had made, had some cracks on it because of the sound booms erupted in
the interaction.
Another addition to Crystal was that before any construct or weapon he made would break
within a minute, if not supplied mana continuously.
However, now, he didn't need to do that anymore.
They would remain in that shape forever until they were broken or he willingly chose for them
to break.
Looking back at the screen, his [Blood] element had leveled up as well.
It was to be expected considering it was the element he used the most in the mid-terms.
It was just one point away from Level 3 now.
Closing the screen, he finally opened the most important screen.
Current Void Trainings:
[Void Training III: In A Day]
[Next Void Training: NONE (1 TO BE COMPLETED)]
[Rewards A]
'Oh shit.' Amon cursed.
There was only a day left in the training.
Fortunately, Amon wouldn't miss out on any events if he did it tomorrow.
Since there weren't many participants in the team battles, the whole event should end by
today.
Because of that, the day tomorrow which was initially designated for semi-finals and finals, would be given as a day of rest.
And the day after tomorrow would be Battle Royale, which was something Amon couldn't
afford to miss at all.
It was the second largest point-giving event after the Catacombs Exploration.
And to get the first rank, Amon needed to attempt this event at all costs.
Which left him with no choice but to attempt the [Void Training] tomorrow.
'It's fine, I'll do it as quickly as possible tomorrow.'
As he was about to close the window, Amon thought to check his [Void Skills].
And so he quickly opened the status window.
[Void Decay]
[Void Threads]
[Void Influence]
[???]
[???]
Nothing new, he thought.
It was still the 3 skills he had for a long time.
Void Influence was the skill he had acquired in the trip.
It allowed him to mess with the mental state of people, whether it be memories, emotions
etc.
Looking at the two [???] spots, he knew he could unlock two new skills.
Unfortunately, he barely had time this week with him always jumping into battles here and
there.
There was no time to train.
'I really need to improve in Void...' Amon thought.
Despite Void being his main and strongest element, he barely fleshed on it and used it.
It was because he barely knew anything about it.
The unknown aspects of Void could be very fatal. An example was what happened to Zephyra.
He didn't need an incident like this to happen again.
Suddenly, an idea clicked inside his mind.
'What if...'
Rather than experimenting on Void in training, he experimented the element in real battles.
Of course, he needed to be careful since there was a major risk of accidents.
However, those struggling and hard moments might be the key for him to improve in the
element.
Especially, because it was only in a real battle that he could also experiment [Void] with othern/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
elements.
'Alright, let's do it like this...' Amon nodded.
This was going to be fun for him.
Especially because...
His next battle.
It was against Liliana.
It's the chapter from yesterday. I was a little tired so could only do 1 chapter. 2 chapters will
still be uploaded today after reset. Thank you for all your support!
