Chapter 204: Sacrificial Exchange
***
As they decided to check the training rewards, a screen opened up in front of Amon automatically.
And like always, he had completed all 3 quests.
Which meant 3 rewards.
[Congratulations on completing Void Training III !!]
[Challenge 1: Kill 100 Desert Worms] [Completed!]
[Challenge 2:Kill 200 Desert Worms] [Completed!]
[Challenge 3:Kill 250 Desert Worms] [Completed!]
Amon smiled, satisfied by his progress.
He had successfully killed 250 worms. And it was one hell of a fight.
In fact, Amon thought of himself lucky for finding that cave of baby worms.
If not for them, he doubted that he would have been able to complete that third quest.
Even the second would have been damn near impossible.
His smile contorted to a disgusted expression as he clenched his hands.
Remembering all of this just reminded him how weak he still was.
All those mid-terms and those weak students had let the pride go to his head.
Overall, he was still pathetically weak.
What about those above his age, those with years of experience above him?
How would he face them?
Amon clicked his tongue.
He needed to train harder. More brutally.
Setting those thoughts aside, Amon moved to the rewards of the three quests.
Choose 1 of the 3 Rewards:
[Reduce [Void's Bond] cooldown by 1 day]
[Elemental Integration]
[Sacrifical Exchange]
Amon looked at the awards with visible intrigue.
Except for one, the other two were both new to him.
Even more surprising was the fact that there was no stat increase anymore.
But Amon merely shrugged at this new piece of information.
He didn't need the stat increase by that much anyway.
The new options seemed much better.
Looking at the first reward, the description seemed to be pretty clear.
It was the cooldown for his [Void Bond] form.
Currently, it was at 7 days. Which was the default cooldown from the start.
However, after the reward, it would turn to 6 days.
Thinking about it, Amon dismissed the thought of picking this award.
It was for 2 main reasons.
One was that he didn't need [Void Bond] that much anyway.
He only needed it in critical situations where he had to or wanted to absolutely win.
There was no need to put his body through that much suffering normally anyway.
Because of that, he hardly noticed the 7-day cooldown.
It was only a week and Amon doubted that he needed to use [Void Bond] two times in a week.
Maybe in the future when there would be more powerful opponents but right now, nope.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
And the second reason was related to his first reason.
And it was that the cooldown decrease wasn't that noticeable or noteworthy.
At the current point of the story and his strength, like he had said, there wasn't much noticeable difference between 7 days and 6 days.
Maybe in the future, yeah where every day would be teeming with danger.
But not now.
He would much rather pick Elemental Integration over it.
"In simpler words, if you have a Level 4 Element that's the target element. To raise a stat
point in that Level 4 element, the sacrificial element, let's take a Level 1 element will need to have points equal to your target element.
In the case of the example above, if your sacrificing element has 4 points, then you will get a 1-point raise in that level 4 element.
If your sacrificing element is Level 2 though, you will only need 2 points since each point in
that sacrificing element means 2 points because of its level.
And so on."
Amon nodded, understanding her words.
"What if the sacrificing element is Level 3?"
Zephyra replied instantly. "Then you will need to sacrifice enough points from that element so that it matches a
multiple of your target element.
For example, for Level 3, you need to sacrifice 4 points from that element so it can equal 12,
which is a multiple of 4, our example target element.
You can't sacrifice if no point can be raised in the target element. And you can only sacrifice
one time, so be sure to sacrifice everything you want all at once."
This was a little disadvantageous.
The fact that he couldn't sacrifice 2 or 3 points if they didn't match a multiple of his target
element was an issue.
But it was still a great option nonetheless.
Repeating everything that she said to him in his mind, Amon started to ponder.
It was only after 20 minutes that he looked up.
"Alright, I made my choice."
Zephyra smiled and nodded.
"Great, you are finally done. Which option do you-"
Amon interrupted her.
"I'm choosing none."
Zephyra's mouth closed as she stared at him with a blank smile.
"I'm sorry what? I think I didn't hear you correctly." She said, still putting on her wavering
smile.
Amon leaned back in his chair, nonchalantly.
"I said, I'll pick nothing like last time. I can't decide a winner between them right now. I'll
just keep them and see which one I need in the time of need."
Zephyra's jaw twitched.
And then she finally burst.
"The fuck were you wasting all those 20 minutes for?"
Amon started bluntly at her, calmly putting his legs on the table.
"Thinking on what to pick lady what else? Don't worry I understand, to your gender, thinking
must be a foreign concept right?"
"It's something you get when you have a brain, which you clearly don't."
Zephyra was left baffled at his replies.
"You...."
Vain was influencing him nowadays.
Amon laughed and patted her back. "Haha, I'm just kidding." Zephyra sighed, her face down.
She turned sideways to Amon.
"I'm glad you-"
Her eyes widened when she saw a middle finger in front of her face.
"Just kidding."
"Bitch."
Hey, it's the author here.
Just wanted to clarify that all these jokes are just for a laugh and some comedy.
I'm sorry if you are offended by it, there's no intention to hate on any person here.
Thanks.
