Chapter 10: My journey of four years (2)

Four years of my training were wasted under that priest. Sure because of him I got Light Resistance but that's the only thing that he did, that can be said to be useful to me.

Even though the priest took up most of the training time, my light resistance only reached level 3, which is not much useful, when you consider that the resistance levels can go up to level 100. Though the poison resistance level is the lowest, it is because it was the poison.

Poison resistance can be improved by taking small dosages of poison but too much may damage the internal organs of a person. So the dosage intervals are very large. The priest doesn't have such a limit to train me in gaining light resistance.

The Elders even claimed that since I have Shadow Affinity, Light Skills would cause a lot of damage to me if used on me. They were right on that point and my father couldn't argue after they said but the trainer is the worst. This was a training that was reserved for the members of the family who were considered average in talent.

I shouldn't have been considered average by any means.

Though my family didn't have Warlocks before me, there are many who awakened classes that associate with the dark elements. They are considered absolute combatants because dark elements would corrode the enemies if their attacks landed on them.

The attacks would slowly kill the opponents. So normally no one would provoke someone of these classes.

I was better than most of these dark classes. I was born with Shadow and Blood affinities. Though I only revealed Shadow Affinity, the family should have given me the top-class preference, but politics always cause problems.

This is the problem when someone is born to a noble. They would have to always watch their backs for such backstabs. If compared to commoners, in this aspect they are better off.

So most concentrate on obtaining certain skills that would work well wth their class or something useful but also most common by consuming the cores. These would be provided by the family of course but after that one has to earn their skills.

The skills I got from those cores were Evade and Dodge, which are very useful for a spellcaster to survive. Even though I have abnormal attributes, getting hit by an attack is stupid. You should defence and render it useless or evade the attack. Those are the only two ways to survive.

You see, when I started to absorb the cores that can give Evade and Dodge skills, I got certain notifications.

[Detected Monster Core...Devourer Physique activated.]

[Please select if you want EXP or Skills.]

When I saw those notifications, I was surprised but was happy with how things turned out. I simply selected skills.

[Detected skills: Evade, Dodge, Sprint,...]

I selected Evade first, and the core dissolved, but my status showed Evade Skill. I repeated the process again, and this time, I got Dodge skill.

This means that I can save a lot of cores to get the skills. I don't need to buy too many cores to get skills or even buy expensive skill books. This would save me a lot of money.

When I start hunting on my own, I can guarantee to get a skill from the monster I hunted and also if there are more of such, I can sell those cores in exchange for some other resource. This simply is the greatest luxury.
