Chapter 164: Progression

Albus had finally woken up in the morning. Geth spent his time looking over his Skills and Attributes with his partner.

"You've come a long way. I still think you should upgrade your Tame Creature and Time Delay Skills. Also, your Foresight Talent rally needs to be taken up a notch as well."

"How many points do I have left? I want to save some for defensive and offensive Skills once the Tower opens. At the moment, I provide more support than anything."

"While that may be true, your support Skills will be necessary if you want to keep everyone alive," Albus responded.

Sigh

"Do you think that this will be as difficult as what we faced?" Geth asked his friend.

"This Dungeon will be harsh. Beasts are much more intelligent than the creatures you've faced so far."

Geth thought back to the Direwolves that he'd run into months ago. They were already so strong back then.

He recalled the light in the beast's eyes as it smirked at him. It knew that it was more powerful.

"I understand. That Direwolf knew that it was toying with me back then," Geth stated.

"Yes, Direwolves are very proud creatures. Every Race of Beast has strong instincts that drive and motivate them. They are sometimes inclined to act on them even when it isn't in their best interest," Albus informed him.

Geth made sure to remember those words and turned to his Attribute screen.

'This is almost just like the protective barrier removed from the Mass Restoration Skill. My only regret with this is that I've lost one of my methods to keep enemies at a distance.'

The Barrier Skill had saved his life many times. It was hard to let it go.

Tame Creature [Novice], Uncommon (Lvl 1)-

Cost (500 MP/Tier) Ability to use Taming Cards to tame monster companions. Companion kills grant half of all earned experience to the caster and the other half to the Companion.

If Taming fails, card is destroyed.

Tame limit- (0/5)

There were two choices here. One option seemed to focus on quality, while the other was based on quantity.

Either choice would have simply added the 'Novice' tag to the name of the Skill. The only difference was that one increased the number of Tames that one could have.

'It looks like Summoner-type Classes may start cropping up in the future. Valhalla will need to find some low-level citizens to set on that path.'

He could already picture having fifty or so individuals who could summon 20 or more Tames each. It could really be effective in turning the tides of a large-scale battle.

"Albus, I'm pretty set on saving my last 37 points for new Skills."

Geth looked around the clearing in which he and Zolis were taking a break. Everyone else had split up to meet at the rendezvous in the evening.

"Alright, Albus.. Let's open the Legendary box that we received from defeating the World Boss."
