Kapitel 12: Ch12: Forever my Friend part 8
Annael checked his whole body and noticed something is amiss, " Jake, it seems that I don't feel anything new" Jake nodded, "If you went to the nearest town and got your blessing after your transcended, the blessing will supposedly increase your parameters" Annael frowned, "parameter?" Jake twitch his lips, " In other words, it will give you a bonus increase of your overall strength but only a small portion. Since you transcend using the core energy of that monster, which is the heart then the blessing of the Gods or Goddess will not be used instead you will gain a separate set of skills and parameters. Now, I want you to close your eyes and search your memory on what skills did you inherit." Annael closes his eyes for about 30 minutes he opened his eyes with a surprised then laugh " My warrior class warrior is now connected to my new class called Night warrior and my skills are:" Annael mentioned all the new skills he inherited.
1. Sonic scream a scream that may break any protective buff
2. Wing blast: a non-elemental attack that uses force instead of wind elemental
3. Lurker's eyes: +50 to +200 perception during night time or in the cave. Will vary, depends on how dark the surrounding)
"Is it the same or similar to the skills of that monster that we just beat?" Terry curiously ask.
Jake nodded while continue looking at Annael, " The chances that you will receive the monster's skills because you've eaten its core are quite high but the number of skills that you can inherit is usually 1 or 2, he is such a lucky guy, he got 3. His skills is really helpful especially at night or breaking sustained defensive magic. "
Diane walks towards the Annael direction, "really? Can you demonstrate one skill." Annael nodded, he closes his eye, then lift the two-handed sword over the head then grayish energy engulfs the sword and he slashes it vertically, a huge force hit the wall of the cave which made a dent on it. Diane and Terry widened their eyes. Terry curiously asks, " So, if I will eat the core of a certain monster, I will have a different set of skills." Jake smile, "Technically, yes. It is applicable to all classes. Annael…it seems that you are not yet able to use its full power.." Annael nodded, "Yeah, it seems that I can't fully connect with this skill but with practice, I might be able to." Jake glances both Diane and Terry and thought, so they reach the peak of the mortal realm then he smiles.
Jake was happy because in the game Annael and Diane died when their realm is high and mid mortal respectively. At least, if someone will kill them they can at least fight back and increase the chance of their survival.
Terry approached Jake and whispered, " I would like to ask you a favor…..if you can guide me during my transcending to Erudite realm. I will use Annael's method to increase my strength." Jake look at Terry's eyes a saw flash of hatred then it disappears. Jake tried to remember if he did encounter Terry in the game, he felt that they did meet but he can't pinpoint where. Jake simply nodded and they continue to search for the entrance.
Diane sigh and thought, that skill is strong unlike those set of skills that they given in town. She cast fireflies which lighten the entire area. Terry use the dust flick skills and went back to Jake and whispered, "I am sure that there are six of them following us. Only one person in low erudite and the rest are I think within the mortal realm." Jake has a grave expression, " Don't tell them yet." As he looks towards Annael and Diane," Terry just nodded and continue to search for the entrance.
Diane walks across the corpse of the monsters and touches the stone hinge and all of the sudden a small tremors can be felt while the stone plank on the floor crumbles and the entrance below surfaces. Jake and the team went down without reservation. While they are walking they encountered several stone salamander, Jake decided to let Annael use his kill over and over again for him to familiarized it. Then they suddenly they heard a faint a gush of water. They hurriedly walk towards the direction of the sound and when they enter the next room they saw a 10 meter waterfall.
The light produce by the fireflies makes the scenery haunting yet beautiful. Jake was staring at the falls and remembers about this quest. There was indeed an artifact. Jake searched his memories and remember it was a statue of a cat. The effect of the statue is to increase in vitality regeneration within one meter. According to the Lore, there was a mage name Goldwin, he is not smart, handsome or powerful among his peers, he was the typically the bottom of the class but he still continues to work hard until he reaches the mortal realm at 30 years old. He was kicked out from the tower of magic because they think they are wasting their resources and time with him.
During his travels he saw a cat who was wounded near the entrance of the town, he picked it up and nurse it. The cat was the only friend he has. He treated the cat as his brother and friend. Year 200 BA there was a war known as the war of Cantina which required all the mages of the said country to participate. He left his cat on the elderly neighbor and paid golds for 5 years. Year 204 BA, after 4 years he came back. He went directly to the neighborhood but the elderly died already, he ask the neighbors if they saw a cat? One of the residents who are familiar with the cat mentioned that a certain noble got his cat. He went to the nobles house and was told he is in the hunter's hut.
Goldwin ran towards the hut and saw his cat tied in a tree and was pierced with several arrows. He did not see any nobles, he immediately untied the cat and ran away from that place. Upon insection his cat was already dead for 5 days. Goldwin controlled his emotion. The neighbor saw him with his cat approached him and gave him a letter.
"Dear Goldwin, If you read this letter then I am already at the sweet embrace of our Goddess Maria. I am writing you this letter because I may die the next year.
Your cat is always looking at the deer statue on the table and always sleep beside it. He seems to be fascinated by it. When the my illness gets worsen, none of my children bother to visit me. It was only him who was sleeping beside me. You have an amazing friend Goldwin." Goldwin looks up and smile. He walks towards the graveyard where the old man buried and burry his cat then he sang the song that his cat's like."
Jake faintly smile and murmured, "Forever my friend....."
