Chapter 276: New Skills

While Empyreon was being split between the two alliances, Evergrand was slowly but surely getting on track.

After that quest, Ying Tin exposed Bloodless Bladesters strength to the public, and Bloodless Bladester was no longer the same. While he was still the friendly diplomat most of the time, he became Hades sharpest blade whenever necessary.

Bloodless Bladester led Underworlds forces to war against Six Nations, the second largest guild in Evergrand, and gave them a beating. Six Nations reputation took a great hit. With that, Underworlds authority in Evergrand stabilised and they soon integrated the city into one. Underworld was now in charge of distributing stores and regions within the city, turning Evergrand into the second commercial city after Yoda.

Players welcomed the great news. While Yoda had long become a commercial city, there was no improvement without competition. Stores in Yoda had always marked up their prices by a fair bit and players wouldnt mind; Yoda was the best place to shop at after all, with stores categorised throughout the city neatly. The shopping experience here was simply incomparable to chaotic streets where some stores sold equipment while others sold groceries.

Now that Evergrand was also a commercial city, Yoda could no longer monopolise the commercial sector and mark up their prices as much.

Level-wise, the player base had also improved a lotthe average player level was now at Level 35. However, many were complaining about how difficult it was to level up now.

The reason was simple: Level 40 maps and dungeons werent available yet, and that surprised Drako Yau.

Now, players mostly relied on clearing quests from the Mercenary Guild, the sub-Level 40 maps within the Highlands of John, and the two dungeons of John to level up. In fact, everyone had to thank Drako Yau for triggering Johns Secret Chamber by accident, or else levelling up would only become more tedious.

Drako Yau was now Level 37 and had learnt four new Level 35 skills: Flame Absorption, Frozen Strike, Enhanced Fiery Dance, and Ice Body.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

Level 35 Godly Spearmaster skill, Flame Absorption: Manipulate the surrounding fire elements and pull in enemies within a metre, dealing minor flame damage to them. Increases Attack for 10 seconds based on the number of enemies pulled in. Each enemy increases Attack by 10%, up to 50%.

It was a short-range crowd control skill, but it wasnt too effective due to its short range. To make it more useful, Drako Yau had to invest skill points into it, though levelling it up once only increased the range by ten centimetres. He was still considering whether he should level it up more. Still, having one more skill to apply Grilled Erudites flame buff was also nice.

Level 35 Godly Spearmaster skill, Frozen Strike. Absorb the surrounding ice elements and thrust, dealing damage in a three-metre-long straight line and freeze all damaged enemies for 1.5 seconds.

The skill was alright at best. While it could freeze the enemy and could be cast quickly, its range wasnt anything great, making it hard to land. To his dismay, both active skills turned out mediocre; his passive skill was what gave him a surprise.

Level 35 Godly Spearmaster skill, Enhanced Fiery Dance: Enhances the skill Fiery Dance, increasing its chance of inflicting burn on the enemy and flame damage.

Ding!

He had a look at the message from Sasaki, which read, Boss, are you free?

Yeah, why?

Sasaki sounded excited as he said, Our craftsmen at Ki Industries have crafted a high-grade product. Do you have a moment to take a look at it?

Oh?

In the workshop deep behind Ki Industries store in Yoda, a group of old craftsmen were nodding in satisfaction at the product in front of them. Standing beside them were the stunned Sasaki and Windstrider.

Bringing craftsmanship from the actual world into the game worked surprisingly well, Sasaki thought.

Soon, a figure entered the workshop. Drako Yau walked over and asked, Whats this?

The seniors frowned and berated him. Are young people so impudent these days? How rude of you to enter without knocking.

Cheh. Sasaki clicked his tongue silently. Our company has been treating these old craftsmen like living treasure, so theyre quite a prideful bunch. I hope the boss isnt bothered by their attitude

Windstrider furrowed his brows as well. However, Drako Yau didnt seem to mindhis eyes were fixed only on the piece of furniture in the room.

Thats the one? he asked.
