Chapter 129: Huge Improvement Part 2

Now for the fun part

He checked his Skill Points and saw a surplus, thanks to selling all the useless mutation organs he didn't need.

It would be a waste to hoard all of this, so it was time to go on a shopping spree.

[Points]

Attribute Points: 90

Skill Points :121

Evolution Points : 0

'121 skill points, not bad,' he nodded in satisfaction.

He couldn't help but chuckle at the thought that the Hunter Association had handed out Hunters for him to kill for skill points like pamphlets on the street.

Whoever was running that show must have been as generous as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, in Reign's opinion.

He began scrutinizing his skills, pondering the best way to use his well deserved points.

'Can I upgrade the Death Rail Gun?' he mused, scratching his chin in contemplation.

Currently, it was his strongest skill in terms of pure penetrating power.

Its range was also the longest, and the damage it could cause far surpassed any of his current skills, if he was given enough time to charged it.

The only downside of Death Rail Gun was its high consumption rate.

In order to operate it, he needed to use multiple different types of skills in coordination with one another which put a lot of load on his Energy.

If he could upgrade it and make it more efficient, it would boost his power again.

However, after checking, he found no direct option for upgrading it.

The best course of action was to enhance its power by upgrading all the skills related to it, such as Claw Bullets ,Claw Barrage, Enhance Bones , and Bone Control.

Among these skills, only Claw Barrage was not at its full level, so he prioritized capping it first.

Claw Barrage (14)>(20)

Reign made a mental note to search for a way to make Death Rail Gun much more efficient.

His first iteration was merely a prototype, explaining its lack of efficiency.

It was akin to building a car; initially, the focus was on speed, and once that was achieved, the next step was to enhance efficiency and stability.

The mere thought of the experiments he could conduct to perfect the Rail Gun filled him with excitement.

Now it was finally time to allocate the attribute points he had painstakingly saved.

'All my stats are A+ except for Intelligence, should I?' Reign pondered for a few seconds.

He was confident that he was smart enough, but the temptation to increase his intellect was there for a different reason.

Upgrading his intelligence might not drastically improve his IQ, but what if it served as a prerequisite for acquiring a domain?

In fact, it seemed odd to him that despite his over the top IQ, his Intelligence stat remained at a B-.

He guessed that maybe Intelligence stats didn't just gauge someone's IQ or intelligence; it likely measure a broader range of factors.

'The only thing I'm missing right now is a domain,' he mused to himself.

With a domain at his disposal, he was certain he'd have the strength needed to confront those vampires head-on.

But without one, he would be at a disadvantage. It was like a lion trying to fight underwater; no matter how strong the lion was, it would never triumph over a predator that lives in the water.

Intelligence (B-)> (A+) = 85 points

Just like that, almost all of his saved attribute points were drained.

"I don't fee—" His words were suddenly cut off by a searing pain in his head.

"AHHHHHHH!" He shouted as he felt like his mind was breaking apart, as if countless needles were stabbing it from all directions.

Reign's vision blurred, and he staggered, clutching his head in agony.

Every moment felt endless as waves of unbearable pain surged through his skull.

His thoughts scattered, and he fought to stay clear-headed amid the pain.

But it was just too much.

It felt like his very mind was under attack, threatening to burst out with each passing second.

The pain became too unbearable, causing dark red energy tinged with red electrical current to leak from his body.

After a few moments, the energy transformed from a gaseous state to a viscous liquid, oozing from every part of his body and dripping on the ground.

As the dark substance pooled on the ground, Reign found himself at its center, kneeling and gripping his head in unbearable pain.

"AGGHHHHHHHHHHH!" Reign's pained cries thundered, his consciousness slipping away as his body moved purely on instinct.

As if in response to his agony, the pool of black substance began to encircle and surround his body like a cocoon, reminiscent of a caterpillar's chrysalis.

It gleamed with an eerie, black-red sheen, its surface rippling with electric patterns as it molded itself snugly around Reign's body.

Fully covered by the cocoon, he was slowly pulled underground as it began to burrow, the earth parting effortlessly as it dug downward .
