Chapter 163: Powerful New Jobs

-----

After being amazed by his two new Abilities, Chaos continued into his two New Skills.

Although they were unique skills for him as Job Skills, he didn't had many expectations for them, after all, Skills couldn't develop the same as Abilities, what they could do was limited.

…

[Job-Chaos Child]

A Job for someone who is the Chaos Child.

It enhances the power of all the user's Stats, Stat Growth, Cultivation Speed, Magic and Physical Damage, and Chaos Attribute Damage by +100%.

Grants the ability to utilize Chaos Arts.

…

Right off the bat, the first Job already surprised him. This Job seemed to be a big passive Skill that enhanced everything by +100%! Wouldn't this make him even stronger? It seemed that the Universal Core was desperate to make him grow as quick as possible…

Could Chaos run in danger? An eventual threat which he cannot catch up to yet? Perhaps this will aid him in catching up, even if a little bit more.

And then, there was the Chaos Arts. What were they?

"Can I access them?"

Chaos tried to look upon them through the system, but no system windows emerged showing them.

It was something he might have to figure out himself. However, they couldn't possible be too far away from his own chaos spells, right?

…

[Job-Vampirus Draken Progenitor]

A Job bestowed to the Progenitor of the Vampirus Draken Species.

As the progenitor, it enhances your authority over those who had become of your species through means such as biting, blood ritual, and more.

It enhances the power of all the user's Stats, Stat Growth, Cultivation Speed, Magic and Physical Damage, and Blood Attribute Damage by +100%.

…

Once more, another big stat stick had emerged, this time around it was regarding the second Job Skill he acquired, that was related to Chaos becoming the Progenitor of his new race.

He looked at it and began to wonder what it could possibly mean, but aside from the massive double passive effects, there wasn't much to it. Perhaps he could access blood arts, although he was able to use them already through Bloodrule.

Blood Arts was the ability to shape blood into many shapes and also to control its component. The ability to crystalize blood was one of them, but there were things such as making blood explode, carry diseases, curse, and more.

So, could Chaos Arts be similar in this regard? But couldn't that be achieved with chaos magic? Certainly, Bloodrule and Blood Attribute Magic were different, and could complement each other rather well.

Perhaps Chaos Arts could be the same with Chaos Magic…

Nonetheless, Chaos had no time to waste anymore.

He broke apart the cocoon and found himself in the middle of a land of black rocks, giant metallic pillars growing from the ground, and vast mountain ranges resembling the fangs of a gigantic monstrous creature.

There were gargantuan skeletons lying around the entire massive landscape, of humanoid giants, dragons, and other gigantic beasts that had died long ago.

Over the skeletons, all sorts of ores were growing and developing, alongside massive black mushrooms and black mold.

There were rivers of nasty black water rushing around, and strange alien-like creatures coated in metallic plates wandering about. Such creatures resembled nothing chaos had ever seen and could only be described as six-legged spiders with metallic black plates, in the shape of a horse, and having sharply colored crests atop their heads.

This land was new. How long as he been sleeping?

"Chaos-sama, you're awake!"

Abyss greeted him as she met him.

He had been resting over a large pile of fur and hide harvested from beasts roaming around.

There was a small camp built around his cocoon.

"How long did it take me to evolve?" wondered Chaos.

"Around two days. We reached this place a day ago and we camped through the night. There were some giant beasts that came to annoy us, but we killed them. Are you hungry? I've waited for so long…" she sighed.

"Yeah I'm quite hungry… And sorry, I didn't thought it would take so long to evolve." Said Chaos.

Chaos quickly came out of the "nest" he had been put over as if he were a small egg, as everyone within his group greeted him. Some of them were missing because they had gone to scout the area.

"This is the land according to the map that leads to the Onyx Kingdom. Where the Steel Demons live. They're a race of demons who grow ores across their bodies and at maturity, they're covered in powerful metallic armors. They live in this harsh environment rather comfortably…" said Belphegor, as he read a map given to him by the King of Lucives.

Chao admired the lugubrious, mysterious, and alien beauty of this new scenario, the massive pillars of metal growing from the ground made it all look even more surreal.

"These lands are called the Ore Lands. Ores of all kinds grow in incredible quantities, but not many come here due to the harsh conditions, the cold temperatures, and the deadly beasts. It is not secure to mine resource here for the feeble mortals." Said Belphegor.

Chaos admired the place while eating a large spider-like monster leg, which was grilled and seasoned by Abyss. It had the flavor of octopus, crab, and fish all mixed together with the texture of chicken.

"I see. Did you find it?" asked Chaos.

"Yes, the Kingdom is behind the large mountains there, but we came across a large group of Ore Titans, gargantuan humanoid beings all of whom are Pseudo Demi Deity Realm, of Rank 3… They're a big family of around 20 of them, they detected us and wouldn't let us get through. Perhaps they're the guardians of the Ore Demons." Said Belphegor.

"I see… We can go greet them. If they don't let us pass, we can always use violence." Said Chaos.

"We had not done so because we were waiting for my lord's thought in the matter. But if it ends in such a thing, it won't be so bad." Said Belphegor.

"Oh, I can't wait! Maybe they'll taste good." Said Abyss.
