Free Web NovelChapter 12: Using the Rewards, Arthur’s Past
Roughly one kilometer above a grassy highland, which was1847 kilometers away from City G.
A gate with intricate patterns and carvings of monkey faces stood fifteen meters tall and ten meters wide, flickering with a hazy black veil.
There were already solid camps all around it within a 100-meter radius, and two Tier-10 Hunters stood guard, one with a sword at his waist and the other with some magic pistols in his holster.
’Arthur, what do you think?’
’Heh, very easy, Master. I’ll get us into the gate without anyone noticing.’
’Great.’ Aidan smiled. ’Give me a moment. I’ll generate the daily quest now, and use the rewards we got first.’
He was going into a Tier-10 Terrorized Dimension, after all. It was better to be prepared.
[Daily Quest generated.]
—Daily Quest: Kill 500 Tier-10 Monsters or Terrors. | Reward: 1 Random Gear Piece of Epic(90%)/Legendary(9%)/Mythic(1%).
’Oh? So, the minimum I will get is Epic? That’s nice.’ Aidan blinked, satisfied with the quest.
’Now then.’
It was time to use the rewards.
First, he took out the Omni-Slot Machine ticket he got by completing the emergency quest.
A slot machine appeared as he used the ticket and started spinning.
It stopped after five seconds.
[Congratulations. You have acquired a random talent stone.]
’Huh? A talent stone?’ Aidan raised his eyebrows.
[You can also use talent stones to evolve your talent.]
Aidan was surprised. ’That sounds good. Alright, use this to evolve my Power Bond talent.’
[To evolve the Power Bond talent to SSS-rank, you need 30 talent stones.]
’...’
[Random Talent Stone’s value is low. The chance to get SSS-rank talent from it is 0.03%. For SS-rank, it’s 0.1%. For S-rank, it’s 1%, for A-rank, it’s 10%. For B-rank, it’s 20%. For C-rank, it’s 30%. For D-rank, it’s 49%.]
’So minimum rank is D-rank.’ Aidan wryly smiled. ’Not bad, but yeah, forget it. I’ll save it.’
[That would be wise, as there are other ways to get stronger talents instead of gambling on Random Talent Stones.]
’Gotcha.’
Next, it was time to open the Mystery Box he got from the side-quest of destroying those Tier-8 Terrors and saving himself from the annoying noise of those hunters’ despair.
[Congratulations. You have acquired a Tier-5 Technique Scroll—Blitzer Burst.]
[Power Bond triggering...]
A cartoon of a pair of exotic lightning sandals appeared in his mind.
It was quiet.
Aidan blinked. ’Yo...’
’BURST MOTHERFUCKER! BURST RIGHT NOW!’ The sandals crackled with lightning and shouted.
’...’ Aidan was speechless. ’Okay...’
He started feeling stronger.
’Why do all these cartoons have to shout?’
[I’m afraid the fault lies with you, player Aidan. These things are born with your power so they may bond with you, and they are influenced by you. Your suppressed anger is automatically making them hyper, angry, and loud.]
Aidan wryly smiled. ’That’s crazy.’
[Consider their behaviours like alternative behaviours of yours that would come out if your anger wasn’t suppressed.]
’...’
Aidan checked out the new bond.
[Power Bond: Blitzer Burst]
-Power: 7,490

—> Attraction (100%)
’Buddy...this might be quite an awesome technique.’
’Rawr?’ Arthur tilted his head, and saw Aidan’s deep in thought expression with a faint smile hanging on his lips.
Having acquired the knowledge of this technique, Aidan understood how it worked.
Basically, if he had learned this as a technique, he could form a path as a line with lightning’s characteristics within a 100 meters radius of him, and travel with the force of attraction moving his body through the line, at a speed depending on his proficiency and infusion of mana in its core execution.
The technique’s range was 100 meters, but it could be increased if one mastered the technique.
Aidan understood. This was a dangerous technique if it was learned by someone else and used recklessly.
Because the body had a limit. The body was not an energy like lightning. In short, if he were an F-rank hunter with F-rank Health stat, and used this technique with some external energy to speed higher than when using his weak Mana, suppose achieving a 10,000 kilometers per second speed, then his body would simply shatter at that speed. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The body had a limit, and it wasn’t tough enough, and couldn’t endure the atmosphere hitting it at extreme speeds. His mana barrier also wouldn’t save him, but an artifact providing a more powerful barrier could protect his body at that speed. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
For the technique, Lightning and Attraction were unsaperable.
But he had turned this technique into a power bond.
He acquired the Attraction and Lightning Energy aspects in his arsenal.
And he had Divine-10 Health.
Aidan looked at the gate one kilometer below.
Both of them were invisible as Arthur had already camouflaged them with his legendary abilities, with this one being mainly made of Light, Lightning, and some exotic aspects he couldn’t figure out.
Even when they moved, they phased past the atmosphere, but in a really weird way that he didn’t know.
’Buddy, if I use my technique to travel, can you keep your camouflage up? I want to try something.’
Arthur nodded. ’Understood, Master. Let’s do this. If they discover us, I will swiftly kill everyone and leave.’
’No, don’t kill anyone. Why do you want to kill so badly?’
Arthur’s head went down. ’I...I need to eat people. My bloodline seeks their blood because they are intelligent and have rich and refined laws. It’s the path of my evolution as an Argon Bloodsun Cyber Dragon. If I evolve in this path, I will become more useful to you, Master!’
’And I want to be useful...because you saved me.’
Aidan was surprised. ’How did I save you? Were you in trouble when I was summoning you?’
’Yes, Master. I was in a world ruled by Orc Lords that had hunted my kind for power. They drink our blood and use our bodies to evolve themselves. I...I was born in captivity with my mom, dad, and sister, and several tribes of dragons, with new ones coming in every day just to be tortured. They..."
