Chapter 333: Anrosh

Linked

Anrosh made the first three choices for her Class perks easily, both Ryun and Tali agreed on which ones were the best. It was the last perk that was slightly more difficult, as they had differing opinions. She looked at her choices again, trying to see something that might make her lean one way or the other.

Grand Frost Wall

Once a day create a wall of frost anywhere in a twenty meter range around you. The wall will be twice your height and half that thick, and twenty meters long, its durability will be equal to 5x your intelligence.

Area of Knights Honor

Once a week you are able to summon a small area around you that will reveal those with ill intent. While standing inside the Area of Knight Honor no one below your highest tier may speak words that they dont believe are true.

Knights Stance

You may trigger this perk and enter knights stance, you gain +30% to endurance and vitality, you also gain increased balance and pain tolerance. All your defensive powers are 100% more effective, all your offensive powers are 50% more effective. Durability of your armor, weapon, and shield, are increased by 10x your endurance. Can only use one stance at a time. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

Knights stance is the clear choice, Tali argued.

Honor, Ryun said simply.

Why would she ever need that? If someone lies to her, just kill them, simple, Tali sounded like she couldnt comprehend why Ryun would ever even suggest that.

Anrosh understood. Tali was what the sects were at their core, personal strength, standing above the others by being better, stronger. The sect warriors were all about demonstrating power, using that to rule and keep enemies at bay. Ryun was he was learning, but he also looked at things slightly differently. Anrosh was going to be leading their sect, of that there was no doubt. They had all agreed. Ryun was thinking of her more as a leader, someone to guide the sect, while Tali looked at her like a warrior. Neither one was really wrong, but Anrosh herself was torn on it.

She already has a stance perk, besides, being able to force people to tell her the truth will be useful. We arent always going to be near the sect. She will have to make decisions on her own.

If someone dares lie to her face, then that is her failing.

Ryun glared at Tali. Like how you believed the lies your friend told you.

Talis expression darkened. Yes, she said. It was my fault for not seeing through the lies.

Ryun rolled his eyes. No, it wasnt, he said. It was her fault; she chose to deceive you. You mightve been wrong to believe blindly, but you had no reason not to. Dont take the blame for the actions of others.

Tali looked away, and Anrosh wondered if she should be here for this conversation.

I still say that she should take the stance, Tali said.

Ryun opened his mouth, but Anrosh interrupted him. I agree with her, she said.

Ryun tilted his head and looked at her. Why?

I know why you want me to take that, but It would do more harm than good. Sects are not like the other factions, perception and honor matter. Me using that perk would make anyone feel like they were not being trusted, it would be an insult to their honor.

See, she understands, Tali pointed at Anrosh.

Ryun closed his eyes for a few seconds, then nodded. It is your choice; all of this is.

Anrosh gave him a smile and then picked the perk. She brought up all of her choices and looked through her new perks.

Grand Knight Focus

You gain +25% to endurance, strength, and intelligence when wearing armor and a shield.

Grand Ladys Insight

You gain +15% to intelligence.

Grand Frost Burst

Once a day you may force all frost-related Essence to detonate dealing damage equal to its durability plus 7x your intelligence.

You may trigger this perk and enter knights stance, you gain +30% to endurance and vitality, you also gain increased balance and pain tolerance. All your defensive powers are 100% more effective, all your offensive powers are 50% more effective. Durability of your armor, weapon, and shield, are increased by 10x your endurance. Can only use one stance at a time. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

It was a good spread of passive and active perks, which she did appreciate.

Now, Ryun started once she looked up. Level again, evolve your Class again.

Anrosh blinked.

That would make her unbalanced, Tali said.

-End Strike offensive ability: Execute a strike that deals increased damage and converts half of it to soul damage.

-Fortitude and Might: gain plus 25% to base endurance and strength.

All of them just stared at one of the choices, not saying a word.

What is it? Ryun asked.

I dont know, Anrosh answered honestly. She never heard of a Class like that.

Ive never heard about it, doesnt mean that it isnt common, though, Tali said. I never paid much attention to how Classes worked. But it is obvious why she got it, the name gives it away.

Wolf of the End is my Evolved Form, Ryun said.

It has to have something to do with the connection between the two of you. I guess in some ways she is your knight, Tali added. Maybe because you share the Evolved Form?

Why now, and not on the previous evolution? Ryun asked.

Oh, that one is easy, Tali answered. That Class probably had a minimum tier requirement.

Hm, Ryun scratched at his cheek.

I dont think that there is any real discussion needed here? Tali asked.

Ryun glanced at Anrosh and she shook her head.

No, she answered. There was no way that she was going to pick anything else.

Only question, Tali continued. Is which ability she should take.

Defense, Ryun said. Soul damage mitigation is important.

Tali took a deep breath and then answered. I agree.

Anrosh made her choices, then looked at her perk choices. She frowned, then spoke.

I dont have any choices, Anrosh said. I mean I just got a perk.

Both of them tilted their heads and she showed them.

Deny

Once a day send out a cone blast that dispels any powers that are on or below tier 5.

Well, Tali started. I guess that there is a drawback to picking Classes like that, tying your advancement to someone else, she glanced at Ryun.

It is a good perk, was the only thing that he said.

Level more, Tali instructed and Anrosh did as she asked until she gained the remaining three perks for that tier.

Absolute Cold Blast

Once a day unleash a blast that instantly removes all heat from an area.

Protection of the End

Your defensive powers are 100% more effective.

End Avatar

Transform into the End Avatar. You gain +60% resistance to physical and special damage. Your stats are doubled and your defensive powers 100% more effective. While this lasts, any wounds that you suffer dont apply their effects, all effects are applied at the end of the avatar state. Lasts for five minutes or until canceled.

Hm, I wonder what kind of a Class I would get now, Ryun said.

Nothing that is worth going insane, Tali glared at him.

I wasnt really considering it, Ryun added.

Right, Tali said, unconvinced.

We should test her, see how those perks work and find a way for her to incorporate them in her fighting style, Ryun changed the topic.

Tali turned her eyes on Anrosh with a dangerous glint in her eyes. I have been looking forward to putting her through some real training.

Anrosh looked between the two of them and prepared herself for pain.
