Chapter 78 – Karma
Aiko spent a lot of time playing with Runes. She was happily writing outside of Mei's place.
She was naturally banned from that place after she brought that book to Mei.
Aiko pouted for a few days, but her attention was soon dispersed by the Runes and Blood Fox's tail.
'It's nice and smooth, but it needs more tails.' Aiko evaluated Blood Fox.
Outside their residence was stormy. Elders would come and go. Most of them were trying to pressure Mei about the Array, but once one Human Elder pushed with his Cultivation the Fox Elders acted.
Now it was a nice deadlock. Those Elders couldn't do a thing to them even if they wanted to.
Aiko smiled at the bickering Elders, because of them this place was much quieter. She was enjoying the benefits and practised Inscribing until she ran out of materials.
She was constantly frowning since the [Inscription Mastery] did not budge. She was still stuck at Lv.9...
Aiko ignored that fact and focused on her [Calligraphy Mastery]. For some reason, she was unable to upgrade it, which caused her to frown. It seems like she will have to combine it with something else to get higher ranked Skill.
Aiko thought about it since she was currently focusing on the Art side of writing. She bought [Drawing] a Passive Skill that allowed her hand to flow better and she could even create some pictures... they were still stick-like bodies, but it was progress.
Since it cost only 10 points she looked at other Skills that she might want to upgrade.
[Nurture] and [Meditation] could be combined into [Breath of Life], but it cost 10,000 Skill Points.
[Health Recovery] + [Stamina Recovery] + [Vitality Recovery] could be combined into [Universal Recovery] for over 12 million Skill Points.
Aiko stared at the combination and found it useful, so she used one [Skill Combination Coupon] instead of waiting.
[You have acquired: [Universal Recovery]!]
[Universal Recovery]
[Passive Ability]
[1st Effect; Recovers: Health, Stamina, Vitality]

She then clicked [Intimidation].
[Demonic Intimidation]
[Enhanced Intimidation]
[Pressure]
She was interested in [Pressure] but soon gave up on it as she had to master it first before she could toggle it on and off. She would [Pressure] everyone constantly which was not ideal since it drained her Mental Power.
[Demonic Intimidation] on the other hand was much nicer since it allowed her to keep the Intimidation effect, but also strengthen it against Demonic Beasts.
[Demonic Intimidation]
[Passive Skill]
[Demonic beings are easier to intimidate.]
The Enhance Intimidation worked overall, but she was more inclined towards the Demonic upgrade. It was definitely not for the reason that she could bully Blood Fox... definitely not!
That cost her 1,000 Skill Points. Mone-Skill Points well spent!
[Enhanced Beauty] could be upgraded into:
[Picturesque Beauty]
[Beauty Aura]
[Picturesque Beauty] allowed her to increase the effect further, while [Beauty Aura] was more like a charm. It still made her beautiful, but not Stats-wise.
She took the [Picturesque Beauty] as it cost only 500 instead of 5,000.
[Dexterous Fingers] couldn't be upgraded for the time being, which made Aiko sad, she quite liked to play with the Pen and it made it easier to do tricks with it.
She looked through the rest, but most of them either had poor upgrades or couldn't be upgraded so she gave up on them.
'Let's master Drawing first.' Aiko smiled.
...
Aiko spends the month mastering [Drawing]. She didn't even use the skills on the Blood Fox, which upset her a little bit, but it was more important to increase her attainment in Inscriptions.
[Drawing] + [Calligraphy] could be combined into [Divine Calligraphy] for the simple cost of 1,5 billion Skill Points.
'Why is it so costly?!' Aiko cried.
'It must be amazing.' She calmed her heart and used another [Skill Combination Coupon]
[Divine Calligraphy]
[Passive Ability]
[####]
'Fuck your mother!' Aiko cursed. 'At least tell me what it does!' She protested in her mind.
She was angry since she spent that precious [Skill Combination Coupon], but even then she was unable to understand its greatness.
'How am I going to use it if I don't know its effects?!' Aiko felt lifeless.
Whatever let's just leave it there. Aiko picked up her Pen and Inscribed some Runes on the paper. She felt a strange force leaving her body.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
Beast Cores(50%): 2,000 -> 1,999 (34,029)
'It cost Energy to write?!' Aiko wanted to cry, she was so dispirited that she didn't know what to do. Previously it was enough to use Beast Core Energy to finish the Runes, but now even writing cost Energy...
'Lot of strengthening and few I don't know about.' She picked up the Rune so she could play with something.
She threw it into the air, but it didn't return.
*BOOM*
Aiko was startled and looked up, the pebble was now lodged into the ceiling of the cave.
'What the fuck?" Aiko's mind blanked. She stared at another one...
*Kick*
*Swish**BOOM*
Aiko giggle. She kicked that pebble very lightly, but even then that pebble suddenly accelerated and blasted a hole into the cave wall.
Aiko kicked another rock and another, until.
*Kick*
*Swish*
*Ding**Ding**Ding**Ding**Ding**Ding**Ding**Ding*
Aiko was startled as that rock ricocheted from one wall to another speeding up. At first, Aiko was able to follow that rock but it soon sped up so much that she felt dizzy.
*Bang*
Aiko was blasted away and felt her head splitting.
-50,000HP
She temporarily passed out.
"Au, au, au." Aiko massaged her head. She felt like someone kicked her with the force of a cannonball. 'Next time I won't play around...' Tears spilt from her eyes as she felt that pain.
She hated this place and hated the one who created this place!
Aiko jumped up and glared at all the small pebbles.
She stared at the light deep inside the tunnel and walked towards it.
*Kick*
*Roll*
*Ding**Ding*
"Well, shi-"*Bang*
-10,000HP
Aiko lay on the ground motionlessly. She cried rivers of tears and was unable to stand up due to the pain.
'I will definitely skewer his ass!' Aiko cried but vowed in her heart.
