I traveled to the canyon, all the way to the safe spot, and then set up my camp. I kept hunting for several days, clearing the dungeon, and killing the boss. Now, with the dreadnought class skills, the battle beca way easier. I found a bit of pleasure in chopping that bastard to pieces.
Ki'rei showed up at so point and tried to persuade to co to her masters, but I refused, telling her I'm still not ready, and there are a few things I need to take care of before. This made her stop. She hanged around for several days and then vanished again. She had to stick close since the poss kept respawning.
This cycle repeated itself several tis. Each ti she would tell the sa words, and I would repeat mine. That's how two months passed. I collected 93261 regular crystals, and 60 boss ones by the ti I reached the cliff and camped there for the night. Then made it back to the city to finally get my shadow knight class and many more upgrades.
The city center was lively when I got there. I noticed several changes to the overall architecture. There were fewer ruins, and more nice, brick buildings. People seed to be happy, spending ti on the streets, drinking, and talking on this warm evening.
I grabbed a lot of attention because of my looks and the number of stones I brought with . People started to point at and whisper, so I wouldn't hear.
The device was occupied by a bunch of n, but they soon were down and I could finally sell my score for 93 861 000 points. Then I finally unlocked the Shadow knight. The skills it gave were: 'Shadow fusion II', 'Void essence II', 'Void manipulation II', 'Void domain', 'Eyes of the Void'.
Without even thinking about this, I upgraded all of them to the fifth level, except the Void essence skill, because this one was a bit different. It could be upgraded two hundred tis and each was 10 000 points.
Then I also upgraded every dreadnought skill to the fifth level, finishing the class and unlocking the second tier to buy for a hundred class points. The 'Armored drednought'.
I still had plenty of points, so I also fully upgraded the 'Shadow walker' class and unlocked the 'Shadow pilgrim'. I really wanted to buy this one, counting for sothing that would make my 'shadow walk' skill even better.
I also bought so new clothes and went to take a bath, relax so underwater, and end up in the cafeteria. Eating a nice warm al, among many people sitting on the long benches, behind tables. Chatting, peaking at , like I was so kind of local celebrity. Out of nowhere, Hatta joined at the table.
- Welco back, Peter - he said with a smile. - How was it?
- Hi. Terrible. I already have enough of that place, but I'm still going back.
- Another two months?
- Yes.
- I'm not gonna pretend like I know why are you doing this. Amit suspect you know sothing and don't want to share this information, that's why you are in such a rush.
- I told you. I want to scout part of the wastelands to see what is going on out there, so we had at least an idea, and I want to be strong to be able to deal with whatever is out there, or at least have a chance to run away from it.
He rise his hands in the gesture of surrender.
- I trust you. Amit doesn't.
- It's ok. I don't mind.
- So... when are you going back?
- Tomorrow. I want to sleep at least one night in a proper bed.
Hatta nodded.
- Ok. Then I'm not interrupting your rest anymore. Be careful out there.
- Thanks.
He left after that, and I noticed how many people were watching us talk. It wasn't good. They heard enough to start so weird rumors, but there wasn't anything I could do about that. I finished my al and left.
I had this mont when I wanted to test out my new skills but because it was already dark outside, I decided to just wait, and to it tomorrow, during the travel, or maybe even when I set up the camp for the night. I returned to my room to sleep.
The next day, after the usual routine, I started preparations to depart. I packed my carts with food and drinks, then was on my way. Ki'rei didn't join , and I eventually reached the neighborhood of the cliff.
Then I finally had so ti to test the 'Void domain' and 'Eyes of the Void'. The first one changed the land around in the proximity of around fifty ters. Everything got darker, the shadows expanded, and void essence started to slip through the air in the form of black smoke coming out of the ground. It wasn't much, but it was definitely noticeable.
Then I tried the eyes, and I got blind. Yes, blind. I imdiately turned that skill of, because I panicked. After calming myself down a bit, I used it again, this ti carefully examining the changes. I discovered that I not only got bling, but also my other senses got dulled, but in exchange, I gained another one.
I could feel everything around . I knew exactly where the trees were. I knew about every single blade of grass around . I could even feel the air moving. The more I focused, the clearer the feeling was.
I tried to move around like that, and perform an imaginative battle. It was awkward at first, but then I started to get a better and better grip on my surroundings. This was definitely a useful skill, with big potential. Now I didn't have to worry about light anymore. Well, with a bit of practice I wouldn't have to worry, because my movents now were still far from good enough.
The long period of ti ca to an end with 32 908 705 points remaining on my account, and twenty-two class points.
