Book 4: Chapter 28: Aftermath Part I

Scarlet

I watch in silence all the way till the last demon of the battalion dies before letting out a sigh. But I dont regret anything. I dont feel bad for them. Because these demons all signed up voluntarily to come here and dominate the human world. All just for their own advancement and for their own prestige.

Even if a few of the demons in the battalion did show some rather human emotions by the end of it.

Well, they were all human once, Tar comments as I turn around and quickly sprint out of the area. Or at least, their ancestors were.

Yeah.

I continue running until Im several kilometers from the base camp before I transform out of my beast form and stretch a little. Then I control the blood covering me to push it into my blood storage as I slowly start walking through the mountains towards the human headquarters. A place that should be located a couple thousand kilometers to the East.

After spending almost a week outside in the snow while waiting for those demons to weaken, itll be very nice to get back into my bed for a night.

I continue walking for a while before eventually letting my System Messages flow. Something thats been a longtime coming since I havent done it since the start of this hunt.

{Level 542 Frost Salamander defeated. A small EXP bonus is awarded for killing a creature above your level.}

{Level 652 Frost Salamander defeated. A significant EXP bonus is awarded for killing a creature over one hundred levels above your level.}

{Level 522 Yeti defeated. A significant EXP bonus is awarded for killing a creature above your level.}

{Level 671 Yeti defeated. A significant EXP bonus is awarded for killing a creature over a hundred levels above your level.}

{Level 530 Wendigo defeated. A significant EXP bonus is awarded for killing a creature above your level.}

{Level 649 Wendigo defeated. A significant EXP bonus is awarded for killing a creature over a hundred levels above your level.}

{Level 731 Yeti defeated. A significant EXP bonus is awarded for killing a creature over a hundred levels above your level.}

{Thirty Skill Points are awarded for killing three hundred creatures in a single use of a skill.}

Also, that was a lot of achievements over my use of plagues. Which was kind of expected.

What wasnt expected was the whole getting ninety Skill Points for it thing.

Not that Im complaining. The more Skill Points I get, the happier I am. And with this recent hunt, I now have three hundred and eighteen Skill Points to spend.

I also didnt expect Blood of Ruin to be able to kill them all with a single use of the skill. Although I guess that was probably because of Blood Empowerment, which Im pretty sure expanded the range of Blood of Ruin and made it stronger. Even if it drained me quite a bit of life energy.

Sanguine Effect restored that quickly enough, considering how I massacred an entire battalion, but it was still rather uncomfortable.

And looking at how Blood Empowerment leveled up in the process, completely worth it.

I stretch a little and yawn. Something that doesnt happen very often considering that I dont actually need sleep anymore. Not since reaching Class III.

At least, not if I dont stress my body out like I did in this battle. Not to mention that Ive been hunting mostly nonstop for days now.

I continue walking as I consider whether or not I should spend the three hundred and eighteen Skill Points I have right now on leveling up skills or on getting new ones. Because if I keep taking every new legendary skill I get, I wont really be able to level up my current ones very high. But at the same time, I think a new legendary skill is worth more than a few levels on an old one.

What do you think, Tar?

I think you should just look at the new legendary skills even if you dont buy them, Tar suggests, and I admit hes right.

If there isnt a legendary skill Im interested in enough to buy over leveling skills, I just wont get it.

Although I doubt Ill get any new legendary skills with these achievements alone. With the exception of the killing three hundred creatures with a single use of a skill achievement.

That one I can see maybe unlocking a legendary skill.

Maybe.

It should at least be counted towards a legendary skill, even if it doesnt unlock one just yet.

With that thought in mind, I open the Skills Store to look for a new legendary skill. And I find nothing.

Well, thats disappointing.

In that case, time to figure out what to level up with Skill Points.
