He couldn't help but be shocked this ti, "You've got to be kidding ? So powerful?"
[It is suggested that the Host stop daydreaming, as it is a sign of an early death flag.]
His fascinated mood instantly turned sour at this shitty remark.
He turned his attention to the next things. He asked the system to explain the changes.
[Stage indicates the current advancent stage of the Host. For more information, the Host must collect full information on the path of advancent of this world.]
[The Host must enter a ditative state to enter his concept realm. An explanation on the class will be given then.]
[Material resonance indicates the harmony between body, soul, and concept on a slightly deeper level.]
[Positive Karma and Negative Karma are self-explanatory, as they are gained by positive and negative deeds. Karma Energy can be used for upgrading skills or stats.]
[The 0% on both concepts of Karma and blood represents the Host's understanding of the concepts.]
[The Host needs the Karma skill 'Karma Conversion' to convert positive or negative karma to Karma Energy (KE).]
[Karmic Intuition - You can intuitively feel good and bad fate upon yourself on a limited scale.]
[Blood Spears - In a 15-ter radius, if there is abundant blood, you can convert and use them as blood spear projectiles.]
[Ghost Summon - You can summon black ghosts of those you have killed by sacrificing the blood in their bodies. The ghosts can possess the bodies of others and boost their strength by also by constantly devouring the blood in their bodies. Ghosts cannot be summoned from killing non-intelligent creatures. But they can possess non-intelligent creatures.
Also - If a ghost is summoned by killing a third-stage awakened, it can only possess bodies of beings on that power level or lower, and the possession can fail depending on the ntal fortitude of the possessing entity.]
[High perception > Sensory Perception - You can feel your surroundings with clarity with all five senses. If any one of your senses is disabled, it enhances the other senses significantly, and the more senses that are disabled, the rest of them are enhanced proportionally.]
[Affinities are also immunities against that elent, which is why fire immunity is not separately shown.]
[Title - Murderous Devil - When you are equipped with the title, you are seen as a being of Evil and feared greatly by those on your similar level or lower.
The fear in your opponent is increased exponentially the more righteous and just they are.]

After taking in all this info, he had to take a mont to process it.
Surprisingly, the information seems to be engraved in his mind, just like how the na "Valtar Titanblood" is engraved in his mind.
He sighed and finally decided to address the elephant in the room, "Don't you think you should co out?"
Right then, from a tree a few ters away, a being of ethereal and otherworldly beauty walked out as if they were hiding behind the tree all along.
It was a Fae folk. Her skin shimrs in pale moonlit hues or earthy tones, often veined with glowing patterns. Sharp, angular features and glowing eyes exude an unearthly beauty, while her flowing hair and moth-like wings adorned with natural elents make her appear as both guardians and predators of the forest. Draped in garnts woven from spider silk and leaves, her movents carry an eerie grace, as if the forest itself shifts in her presence.
Though Valtar felt a great sense of danger, he did not take a single step back or show any change in his expression as he simply stared at the Fae with a cold deadpan expression.
She also looked at him straight in the eyes for a mont. Both remained frozen in ti.
Unlike Elmyra, he did not feel tempted by this beauty, as it was perhaps a different kind of beauty or maybe because he beca stronger. The Fae finally moved her mouth and said,
"No need to be so tense. This is but an illusion. I rely ca to converse."
Valtar did not respond and remained still. Of course, he knew it was an illusion, probably because of the Karmic Intuition skill, but this is an advantage that could not be revealed.
However, listening to her voice, he almost lost his mind. It was the most beautiful voice he had ever heard—so beautiful that it alone could send a man to ninth heaven in pleasure. Yet it was only a montary temptation, as he quickly regained his composure.
Seeing no response, she chuckled, "Well, I suppose I should introduce myself. Hello! Outsider, my na is Dyona—the queen of the Fae folks. What of you?"
This ti, Valtar could handle hearing her devastatingly beautiful voice much better as he said, "Valtar," and let the silence return.
The soft smile on the Fae queen's lips remained as her figure flickered, and she appeared on top of a tree branch five ters above the ground as she looked at the raging fire, that had engulfed the entirety of the eastern tribe's area by now.
She requested, "Would you mind coming here for a mont?"
Valtar hesitated for a mont but still adhered to her wish and went to stand beside her on the sa large tree branch.
As they both looked at the raging flas, she stated, "It was beautiful, wasn't it?"
"What do you an?" asked Valtar.
"This chaos, madness, and destruction. Isn't it all so beautiful? The beautiful tale of a magnificent struggle?"
Valtar looked at her face for a mont and said, "Indeed, it is beautiful. I won't lie."
For a mont, Dyona felt quite shocked at the answer and looked at him in surprise.
"You do know that's not sothing a normal person with a functioning brain should say, right?"
"Does it look like I'm a normal person without a few screws loose?" responded Valtar.
This ti, she let out a sweet laugh as she looked at him with keen interest. She said to him, her eyes twinkling, "You know, we may get along quite well. If only..."
This ti, her voice did not try to impede him in any way, but this was the genuine happy laughter of a woman who found soone similar to her. Valtar also felt the sa way. It's like an introvert who reads novels at ho all day suddenly finds soone else who also reads novels, and their tastes match perfectly as well. The chance of that happening was too rare—or impossible, to say the least.
As Valtar slowly realizes his true nature, he doubts there will be many people like him in the world. Even if there were, it wouldn't be a beautiful lady—and after all, people enjoy the company of those similar to them.
He also let out a disappointed sigh, as they are only supposed to be enemies, and looked at her as he said, "Yes. If only..."
Valtar shook off his lancholy as he said, "Were you the one who manipulated Zhao, his son, and the Dark Elven tribe?"
"I did not engage in any actions myself. The others did. Thailyn manipulated Zhao, telling him how to escape by getting all four concept crystals in each area. Normally, one tribe can only use their concept crystal in their area, and then only after killing everyone in your tribe, it beco truly yours. Thus, similarly, by killing other tribes, you can get the concept of that area or tribe. But this is indeed the true way to escape: by killing everyone in the forest and getting all the concept crystals. Then Thailyn told Zhao that after making the blood concept crystal his own, the dark elves would attack them as the barrier would be breached. Of course, in exchange for this information, Zhao had to sacrifice many of the tribe mbers over the years." said the Fae queen.
She revealed more information: another Fae nad Shailyn, similar to the exchange with Zhao, dark elves sacrificed half of their tribe to get a key—'the Key of Intervention'—as it would allow a certain amount of personnel to breach the eastern area for attack.
Valtar understood the full picture at this mont. The reason why Elmyra instructed him to leave only one mber alive is that he would not be able to get his hands on the blood crystal when the elves ca into the area. They would activate the poison, kill him, and the other tribe mber, eventually getting the blood crystal. In case he did get the crystal, the poison would still be there in him. Even in the worst-case scenario without using the poison and Valtar getting the blood crystal, he should have only been able to advance to the third stage, not a Pathwalker.
While the Fae dealing with Zhao told him about how the dark elves would attack, on the other hand, the Fae dealing with dark elves did not tell them how Zhao would be prepared—or, in this case, Valtar.
Either way, the Elves would've suffered a lot more losses but won in the end. They should also have a Pathwalker, but inside their territory, and since the Pathwalker holding the dark crystal of the Dark Elves cannot leave their territory unless that person kills all the other elves.
Elmyra and her team are most likely the ones to co now since she is the one who poisoned him. As he thought of Elmyra, a small dark smile appeared on Valtar's face as he licked his lips.
