Chapter 1848. Replaced Skills

Chapter 1848. Replaced Skills

From Void Sword Saint's passive abilities, Jack thought this pinnacle class was more offense-oriented compared to Brave Swordsmaster. He lost the endurance boost and the chance to reduce damage, but he packed a lot more punch from the passive skills of Void Sword Saint.

Peniel materialized next to him. After the trial ended, the limitations during the trial were lifted. Jack could also access his equipment.

"Luckily, you didn't take too long," Peniel said. "I had been locked inside my hidden dimension. I could see you during the trial but couldn't do anything else. Anyway, congratulations on passing the trial."

"Thank you," Jack said and took out his Storm Braker. He started slashing around. Once in a while, his sword created some sort of a tear in the air. He had seen this before. It was similar to the effect caused by Azzarilth's Void-tearing Claws. He figured when his sword created this effect was the time the ignore defense was triggered.

He channeled mana manipulation and continued slashing. The void tears were more frequent. It was possible to increase the chance using mana manipulation. Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

The chance to bypass protective skills and spells was also very useful. It would be like having a passive Ghost Sword skill. The chance of it triggering was very small, though.

He went back to his status page and checked his skill page. The skills from Brave Swordsmaster had been replaced by a series of new skills. Their levels and stars followed previous Brave Swordsmaster's skills.

All in all, he was satisfied by his gains.

"The pinnacle special class truly doesn't disappoint," Jack remarked.

"You don't say," Peniel said.

"Let's go out," Jack said.

He interacted with the hyperspace and stepped into it. He went directly to the gate at the center. Once he did, he found himself outside the Lost Forest.

Jack closed his eyes. He opened them again after a while. "Yeah, there is no hyperspace outside here," he said.

"Hey, the disc is glowing," Peniel said.

She could see into Jack's inventory. Currently, Chris' disc inside the inventory is gleaming. It became brighter with each second.

Jack took the disc out. A display box appeared. The texts inside the display box asked him if he wanted to return to Chris' secret garden.

"What the... There is only a yes option. What kind of request doesn't give people the choice to say no?" Jack complained.

"The kind that comes from the creator, I guess," Peniel said.

When Jack was still speaking with Peniel, the yes button on the display box suddenly shone. It was as if someone had pressed it.

"F*ck! Why bother asking then?" Jack cursed as a flash of light enveloped him.

He found himself at the pavilion by the lake inside Chris' secret garden. Chris was sipping tea inside that pavilion. Above the round table was an image projection. Wilted was seen inside that projection. She was climbing some sort of winding stairs.

Jack's sudden arrival startled Chris. He did a spit take out of surprise. He quickly pushed the button on the table and the projection vanished.

"Hey! Are you spying on Wilted?" Jack asked.

"Don't make it sound so bad. I was watching over her!" Chris answered.

Jack wanted to say, 'Then why did you act like a burglar getting caught?' But he decided not to tease the guy.

"You... So fast? It has only been four days!" Chris exclaimed after realizing what it meant for Jack to be there.

"Hehe, yeah. I do remember you said the trial should last at least one week," Jack said.

"I was being generous by saying one week. I never believe anyone can do that. At most, I think two weeks is the fastest... Not to mention, aside from Time Sage, the trial for Void Sword Saint is the hardest among the twenty-four pinnacle special classes."

"Damn, man. So, I unintentionally chose the two classes with the hardest trials? Do you have something against Blade Dancer and Archmage?"

"Actually, those two special classes you got are also the strongest. Well... I guess that depends on perspectives. Those two classes embody the fundamental aspects of space and time. I must say it is rather poetic that you acquire both."

"I hope this power is enough," Jack said. He then asked Chris, "So, how is the march of the underworld forces?"

"I don't know," Chris answered.

"F*ck! You spied on Wilted but didn't bother to check the underworld forces' march?" Jack cursed.

"Their march is limited to the speed of the corrupted mana's expansion. The speed is fixed. What is there to check?"

"It is still good if we know for sure. We don't want to get caught in surprise when our enemies already greatly outnumber and outpower us!"

"Fine, fine! Here, I take a look for you," Chris said.
