Chương 107: Knowledge
So… what did he just read? Thought? Saw? Well, what was that message? Was that a prank from one of the developers?
How could that… god, know so much? Had it really read his mind? How could this be possible?
Well, he had successfully added knowledge to his brain, so maybe reading wasn't much harder. But even then, this was a god damned game! He was supposed to have fun, get money and enjoy the game.
Adam cursed Strith in his mind, what kind of asshole was that god to only tell him this much? This was only living with questions. Moreover, Adam didn't know how, but he was quite sure Strith knew this would puzzle him, as he could almost hear his damn laughter in the message.
But he still hesitated a little to curse, that was a god, with unknown knowledge, and who was able to scan through his memories… Fuck him, he was an asshole.
But as much of an asshole he was, what he gifted Adam was very convenient. Of course, he would test everything he had just learned before dumbly applying it, the god didn't seem to be hostile, but who knows, a being capable of reading his thoughts and memories effortlessly could hide his hostility from him.
Adam coursed through all the knowledge he had gotten, he didn't go in full detail of course, there was too much for him to do so, but he was still able to get familiar with what he received.
And it was even better than he thought. What he had received was a guide to meridians and how they worked, explaining the thousands of uses every one of them had, and what the combinations would result in.
There was so much information, this couldn't have possibly been found by a single human. Even if a man were to spend his entire life searching the meridians, assuming he works from ten years old to one hundred, even those ninety years wouldn't be enough to get everything he had just gotten.
He compared what he had learned by himself with what he had received, and now understood how shallow his knowledge had been. What he learned was right, of course, but mostly incomplete.
But this was only subpar to the second thing he discovered. This knowledge, about the meridians, couldn't just be used to create a cultivation technique. It would also allow him to master and even create skills of his own way more easily.
For example, if he had this knowledge before fighting this battle of Neve Dorei then he would have mastered Flying Slash in a matter of minutes.
And even to enhance the skill, if what he had received was right, then he would be able to get those multiple blades, and do much more.
He shook his head, this was really a great gift, if what he had received was true. But there was something on his mind, about the attack. He had once again stopped an undead attack, would that Aemon's Cult be made at him for once again foiling their plans?
Meh, probably not. He dismissed the idea and began experimenting with what he been put in his mind. What he didn't know was that in some dark cave deep underground, in an unknown location, Lin, the Cult Leader of Aemon's Cult, was watching a recording of the battle through a crystal.
A few minutes later, every member of the cult in the underground base began trembling in fear, and so did the caves. One of the older members said to his fellow cultist "What do you think angered the Cult Leader so much? If he continues he will bury us all."
The other cultist replied "Who knows… That would really be a sad way to die. But well, I guess we would be reborn into undeads. Miner Undeads, trapped in mines for the rest of eternity, slaving away for the powerful…"
He was slapped behind the head by the old cultists who looked at him weirdly and asked "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
Back to the Mirage Desert, Neith could feel Adam's mind, and the emotions he was going through. At first she was worried, because of the pain, but then she sighed when she felt the confusion and happiness.
She felt like he was acting like a child, changing emotions so quick. Nonetheless, since he was okay, and so absorbed in his meditation that he didn't notice she had stopped, she decided to continue advancing in the desert.
There were a lot of monsters in this desert, she had already killed tens of them in about a dozen minutes in this place, and they were getting stronger.
Adam had showed her the map of the desert, and the path they had to take to encounter the lowest leveled monsters. But even then, the level of the monsters she was facing had now risen to 75, and it was still going higher.
For the low rank ones, such as the Elites and Chieftains, they weren't much of a problem. However, she had encountered a Level 75 Lord.
Had it been before the Siege of Neve Dorei, it would have been hard to kill the monster without waking Adam up from his meditation, but thankfully Adam wasn't the only one who had gained from the fight.
She had secretly eaten the bodies of the three big bosses, as well as those Level 100 Elves and Foxkin. The living were old men and women, and the bosses were undeads, so the meat didn't taste very well. However, because she was a monster, this allowed her to level up a few times, and reach Level 40.
Even though her power growth in the Bronze Realm wasn't as big as Adam's, since he was a Sovereign and just opened the 3rd Gate, as a Chosen her growth was always bigger than others, so those seven levels she got made her much stronger.
She had been Level 33 before the battle, and eating all those high levels had allowed her to reach a new peak of strength, one powerful enough to crush this Lord.
Since she had been picked up by Adam, she had grown a bit, and now was 15 meters tall. As for this Level 75 Lord, it was a ten meters tall Scorpion which looked impressive.
However, looking impressive wasn't enough. The main weapon of this scorpion was its poison, which was rendered useless against Neith. Actually, this was a very good environment for her, because her venom, although she rarely used it, was very powerful, and thus her resistance was high too, too high for those monsters.
Since it's main weapon was useless, the scorpion had wanted to flee, but it's second best asset, it's hard shell, was rendered useless too. After Adam killed the three bosses and she jumped toward the bosses, she saw the spells used against them.
One of them turned the ground into a Lava Whirlpool, but it wasn't a single spell. Instead, one had turned the surface of the ground into lava, and a second mage had turned the earth below the lava into a whirlpool, creating a combined spell, the Lava Whirlpool. Of course it was possible for a single mage to create a Lava Whirlpool with a single spell, but this wasn't the point.
This spell had awakened something in her, something that came from her bloodline. A skill, Earth Swallower. This was an enhanced version of the whirlpool, which would create a much bigger and powerful whirlpool. Moreover, the edges of the whirlpool would turn into blades, meaning that if one wanted to get out of the Whirlpool, they would literally have to crawl on blades.
And she had done just that with that Lord. The ground under it had suddenly dropped by five meters, creating a cone in the earth, with the sand rolling down in the center. When it had tried to get out, its legs were met with sharp sand sword, their blades rotating in circular like a saw.
Meanwhile, Neith was chuckling with her weird spider voice, looking down at the poor Scorpion.
While it was suffering, Adam had been awakened from his meditation, because he felt the sadistic feelings of Neith, but when he saw the scene that seemed to be straight out of a horror movie, he decided to just shut up and go back to meditation, making a silent oath he would never piss her off.
