The Beast patheon was coming right behind us, we had decided to scout ahead when we encountered the plants, in times like this I wished the Fire Tigers were named like so because of their ability to use fire magic and not because their fur looked like fire.
My coordination with Wolfy in battle had reached a whole new level, but even that couldn't cover our lack of skill, I added that to the list of things I needed to do.
We don't have enough time we would have to take another route but I wanted to get to lv20 and upgrade my class first and then maybe acquire a new bloodline from them, with Tessa in my party levelling up was a breeze but I didn't want to rely on him too much that was why I told him to stay behind with the other beast.
{You have acquired a new type of bloodline
Plant type: Vine bloodline +1 VIT}
Huh just one bonus, whatever at least it's something,
Swish Swish Swish the battle went on and by the time we could see them approaching us from a distance I finally leveled up to lv20
{You have leveled up lv19~lv20 you have received 3 bonus stat point, Your VIT stat has increased by one}
{You can now acquire a subclass,
Because of your Class a set of special Subclass has been provided please choose wisely you can only make this decision once. Your class advancement will be available at lv50}
{You have acquired a sub quest of the Main storyline quest ROAD TO POWER.
Reach lv50 and complete your class advancement.
Time limit: 60 days
Rewards: Legacy skill × 3, Exp elixir ×3.}
Whoa three legacy skills and Exp elixirs I was motivated to get to lv50 instantly but it wasn't that easy.
I decided to choose my Subclass first before I proceed
{ Subclasses available
Bloodline Obsessor: After gaining the power to acquire bloodlines you begin to obsess over the perfect bloodline, allowing you to merge all your present bloodlines to make a bloodline without flaw, the bloodlines that can be used are only those with no impurities in them.
Create a bloodline that continuously evolves and becomes better.
Pack Leader: A true leader you are, your presence passively purifies the bloodline of your followers and increases their potential, creates a connection between you and your followers allowing you to draw strength from them in your time of need.
Become the True Alpha of the beast while leading other beasts to power.}
Ha this was a tough choice (but unfortunately I had only myself to make the choice my dear readers didn't respond), on one hand I could greatly improve my strength on the other hand I could increase the strength of those around me and have a life saving option when I'm in a pickle, after carefully considering the odds I made my decision.
{You have chosen the subclass PACK LEADER. You have acquired the skill Enrich, you have acquired the Skill Fight For All, you have acquired the skill Fervent Commander, you have acquired the skill Faith Collection}
As knowledge flowed into my head about the new subclass the notifications kept ringing
{ You have received a Subclass bonus +1INT, +1 END for every level up}
{ Enrich: Passively purifies the bloodline of your followers around you chance to increase their potential. Cost: None, CDT: None}
{ Fight For All Lv1: Harness the power of your followers through a special bond and add to your own. Note: You can only gain a maximum of 20% of followers power, Cost: 2% of the power acquired from each follower will be lost completely. CDT: Seven days, Duration: 30 minutes.}
{ Fervent Commander Lv1: When activated increases the strength of your followers in a 15 meter radius around you by 15%, Cost: 20MP. Duration: 5 minutes}
{ Small Gains: You will gain a very small portion of the Exp your followers earn as long as you are in the same realm as them. Cost: None
{ Faith Collection Low level: You are the Alpha as such your pack believes in you, collects the faith energy they release and turns it into your own power allowing you to walk the path of Godhood}
Wow the skills where great but they where not why I was looking for, the last skill about faith power was very vague but it has generated a new stat and it wasn't classified as a class specific stat, it was marked at hundred and the numbers were quickly rising to fill it up.
I was happy that the beast already regarded me as their Saviour so getting faith energy will not be too difficult , it would help me grow stronger and now with the ability to purify their bloodline just by being around me they would reverence me even more it looks like I had made the right choice.
The Small Gains would really help me to level up and if I but I still had to do experiments and find out the skills limits and things like that.
There where also unspoken benefits of the class like I could converse with Wolfy and Storm telepathically, I couldn't do so for the other beast and I was guessing it's because of the distance between us, it was a really helpful ability but I needed to find out how to increase the range of not it will become more frustrating than helpful.
Although I didn't get the Bloodline Obsessor subclass it doesn't mean I was going to have trash bloodlines in my body I planned to perfect all the bloodlines in my body and since the plant monsters were in excess I was going to start with them.
Saviour we have arrived should we take another route or cut through this path, Tessa asked me as he saw us still battling with the vines, we need to kill as many of them as possible.
Your wish is our command Saviour, as soon as those words left his mouth he rushed to attack the vines along with other Plated Eagles, Fire Tigers and Man Eating Spiders, when I saw that they were fine I checked the system notification I got just now.
{Your Faith Energy is full do you wish to upgrade it Y/N}
YES
{ YOU HAVE upgraded your faith energy, Current Limit 5/ 1000, based on your class you have unlocked a Faith Skill
PERFECT BALANCE: Achieve a complete and total balance with all the forces present in you, your soul, bloodlines, instincts and be at peace with yourself. When in this form all stats are increased by 50%, Cost 1 Faith Energy per second}
{ All your stats have increased by 3 points}
Woah the skill was awesome if I activated it with {Fight For All} I would have such a jump in power that would baffle and shock whoever I was fighting, now I wasn't even having regrets about the Subclass I had made the right choice.
I was eager to test the skill but I was even more intrigued about the benefits that I would receive if I upgraded my Faith Energy again.
After that I just followed behind Tessa's group and extracted the bloodline of the already cut down vines, I also noticed that the earth was rapidly absorbing the sap that came out so I had to hurry after about 10 minutes I had finally completely purified the bloodline as the purity got to 100% I received a notification from the system
{ Vine Bloodline is evolving }
It lasted for about two minutes before the wriggling feeling inside my body left
{ Vine Bloodline has evolved into Plant Bloodline}
I didn't get any stat bonus which was disappointing.
After getting what I wanted we took a different route and began to move to the mountain, meanwhile on the road that Michael and the beasts were approaching a team of humans armed to the teeth were waiting to ambush them, it seems like there was no rest for Michael and his team was there.
