Chapter 45: Sealing and Solo Leveling
[The [Heart of Law] merged with [God's Heart]]
[The [Divine Law] merged with [Divine Arcane]]
[The [Law Manipulation] merged with [Mystic Manipulation]]
I looked at the skills and saw the name of [Themis] as one of the gods inside the [God's Heart]
"Thank you, God, Themis!" I said as I smiled widely as the notification said.
[The God of Law is grateful and pleased]
'Grateful?'
I am kind of intrigued by that but I didn't mind it because I am not interested at all. All I can do is stare at the new skill I got.
-- --
Olympus Sealing Technique Lv. EX
-It grants you the ability to seal anything including fate, luck, talent, and gods.
Mana: Based on the seal
Cooldown: None
-- --
I activated it and a book appeared in front of me and the notification said,
[Pick a seal]
I looked at the list of seals in greek and then picked number 56, [Power Restraint]. Alongside the name, there is also the unsealing method of the seal.
'So I can easily unseal my power even I am in the battle, I just have to cast this spell...' I said to myself as I stared at the next window.
[Pick a target
1. Player
2. Rufus
3. Ain
...]
It seems like I can seal anyone I know or someone I met. I picked number 1, which is me, and then another window appeared.
[How much power must be restrained?]
[99%]
[Affirmative]
[It costs 1,000,000 mana. Confirm? Y/N]
[YES]
[Granting you the knowledge of the spell and how to seal correctly]
My body suddenly became out of control and I am muttering some words I don't know but I can remember every single word of it.
'This is what granting the knowledge means...'
As I muttered some words, I raised my hands and I slammed my hands in my chest.
'I can feel it... I can feel that my powers are getting retrained...'
It is quite an uncomfortable feeling...
[Sealing Finished]
[You learned Power Restriction and Unsealing method of the Power Restriction]
"Hah, finally, I really feel uncomfortable using that skill..." I muttered as I used my full strength to punch the ground and I only managed to create to make a crater within 100 miles radius that created an earthquake in the desert.
'It is still dangerous, luckily I am in the middle of the desert...' I sighed in relief as I started to walk down and immediately felt another earthquake.
'An after shock?!' I said as I balanced myself.
Then, several monsters from the ground appeared in front of me.
'Oh, I did disturb their peaceful sleep!' I chuckled slowly as I readied my stance to perform a skill.
[Sand Scorpion Lv. 170]
[Sand Scorpion Leader Lv.200]
[Sand Monsters Lv.220]
[Sand Monster Boss Lv. 250]
[Fire Scorching Sand Guardian Lv.1,500]
"You guys finally came out!" I shout towards them as I stared at the easiest monster, the [Sand Scorpions]
[Dream Dragon's Hallucination]
I raised my hands towards the scorpion and inflicted them hallucination, one of the inflictions of the [Nightmare Dragon's Infliction] that divided into eighty-five skills for the [Dream Dragon Skill Tree].
The scorpions started to attack each other. And then I used another skill as they gathered together.
[Nightmare Dragon's Breathe]
[1] I gathered an insane amount of air and changed their property into several inflictions and then breathe it out like a dragon's breathe.
A simple attack like that destroyed everything in a straight path pattern.
"It seems like maximized breathe is simply a powerful long-range offensive attack..." I muttered as I saw the melting bodies of the scorpions and their leader.
[Congratulations, you defeated the [Sand Scorpion]! You received 100,000 EXP]
[You leveled up!]
[You leveled up!]
[Congratulations, you defeated the [Sand Scorpion]! You received 110,000 EXP]
[You leveled up!]
[Congratulations, you defeated the [Sand Scorpion]! You received 100,000 EXP]
[Congratulations, you defeated the [Sand Scorpion]! You received 120,000 EXP]
[You leveled up]
...
[Congratulations, you defeated the [Sand Scorpion Leader]! You received 200,000 EXP]
[You leveled up!]
[You leveled up!]
...
My level rose from level 47 to level 178 in an instant!
I stared at the next victims and then smirked like a demon but suddenly, I felt embarrassed as if someone is watching me...
[The Gods are chuckling...]
"Ah-- I see..." My face darkened as I rushed towards the [Sand Monsters]
[Sea Dragon's Water Cage]
I leaped to the air and I gathered the air into the lungs and changed its property into the water and molded it into a cage full of water. It is simply a huge water bubble.
I used this technique because the only way to kill these things is to use water elements to slash through or expose them to them.
Sands are becoming heavy if it is exposed to water, it is a simple reason.
[Congratulations! You defeated the [Sand Monster]! You received 350,000 EXP]
[Congratulations! You defeated the [Sand Monster]! You received 350,000 EXP]
[You leveled up!]
[Congratulations! You defeated the [Sand Monster]! You received 350,000 EXP]
...
[Congratulations! You defeated the [Sand Monster Boss]! You received 420,000 EXP]
[Notice: x17 EXP gain will be added to the total amount of EXP]
[You leveled up!]
My level rose from 178 to 245.
Then, I stared at the only opponent left who is always about to attack but always retreated when it saw both of my [Nightmare Dragon's Breathe] and [Sea Dragon's Water Cage]
"Let's see how much EXP will you give me!" I smiled like a demon and the gods are chuckling but I just didn't mind them because I am too excited.
The [Fire Scorching Sand Guardian] is like a behemoth created by melting sands, because of its appearance, I stared at him closely and now that my [Appraisal] is in the maximum level where I can [Appraise] anything I want now, I can also see their weakness.
In the monster's throat, there is his [Core] where you can destroy so that you can defeat it easily,
In the previous battle of the [Dark Wild Boar] and [Fire Rabbit], I don't know where are their [Cores], that is why I am struggling too much at [Dark Wild Boar].
[Instant Movement]
[Catastrophe Dragon's Piercing Talon]
I teleported at the throat of the behemoth and twisted my body in the air and used the talon that can pierce even the [Orichalcum Golem], the toughest material monster in Olympus.
It screamed so loudly that I would get deaf if I don't close my ears.
"Using sound to defeat me?" I smirked and then I cast one of the powerful skills that I have.
[Supreme Dragon's Judgement!]
Light came out from nowhere that devours anything it hits because of its very convenient function. [All monsters, players, and entities that the user thinks that is an enemy, it will guarantee death to them]
"I can't use breathes because the sound waves are affecting the waves in the air which is a troublesome situation... Maybe I should've used the [Space Dragon's Dimension]? Nah, its cooldown is too long!" I muttered as I collected my loots.
[Supreme Dragon's Judgement]'s cooldown is only 3 minutes so it is definitely okay to use. Luckily, I maximized it already before my level rose to 50.
[Congratulations! You defeated the [Fire Scorching Sand Guardian]! You received 250,000,000 EXP and additional skill [Sand Guardian's Territory]]
[Notice: x17 will be added to the total amount of EXP]
My level rose significantly! From 245 to 457...
"Oh, it seems like the amount of EXP reaches billion if I kill level 1,000 monster, huh? I also have x17 EXP gain... [Sand Guardian's Territory]?" I immediately checked my [Desert Guardian Tree] and saw the skill.
"It is a territorial-type skill where if you are in a desert, you can control the sand freely as if it is my domain? It is more than usual on my current plan!" I laughed loudly as I continued gathering the loots that I got.
I got a lot of sand materials but I discarded them because it is no use. I only kept the materials that the blacksmith needs and the poison of the scorpions. I got 203 [Solid Sand] and 97 [Sand Scorpion's Poison]...
As for the guardian, I still haven't collected them but there is nothing but armor and its blueprint for blacksmiths and the [Hybrid Core]
The armor's name is [Sand Guardian's Armor] and the blueprint is obviously named [Sand Guardian's Armor Blueprint]
[Hybrid Core] are rare-type cores where you can get them by killing hybrid monsters... In this case, the [Fire Scorching Sand Guardian] is an elemental boss/guardian with earth and fire element. That is probably why it dropped the [Hybrid Core]
I simply took them all and checked my stats.
[Undistributed Stat Points: 820]
'Huh, why do I feel like it is not the same as before? Isn't it now supposed to be 2,050? Since I reached level 50, I should've got 5 stat points every level up, not 2?'
I used [Appraisal] on the undistributed stat points and saw an entirely different function.
-- --
Undistributed Stat Points
Description: They are the points that you receive every time you level up and distribute them into your minor stats. Major stats are not included. [FORMER]
It is used to buy new classes.
-- --
'Buy classes? Is there such a thing?'
I immediately stared at my [Class] and the [Appraisal] activates.
-- --
Classes
Description: They are your profession and pride. They are your strength and weakness. And the most important of all, this is your life.
Additional: You can now buy classes provided by the system every time you say "Buy Class".
-- --
"So I can have more than 4 classes? I mean, [Sage Classes] are one, then the [Sea God] and [Assassin King], though the [Sea God] is still locked..." I asked myself but suddenly, the gods answered without consulting.
[The Gods nods to your question]
I immediately said [Buy Class] after it is confirmed by the gods and saw available classes that I can possess.
I need 200 points for one class. It is worth 5 levels!
[1. Appraiser
2. Explorer
3. Paladin
4. Wizard
5. Sage]
There are only 5 choices and I obviously chose the [Sage Class] because it is one of my [Sage Classes]...
[Deducting 200 Undistributed Points... You have 620 left...]
Not just because of that, I feel like I don't want to have the class of a simple [Appraiser] or [Wizard]. If it is a [Tamer], I can consider it...
"Ah--come to think of it, I should promote my classes later! I only need elemental materials for it, though so it is easy..."
To promote a class, I have to collect all 2 different kinds of cores or scrolls with different elements for tier 1, while 4 cores or scrolls on tier 2 and so on and so forth.
[You cleared the vicinity, granting you another x10000 amount of EXP for killing monsters higher than you]
[Level: 457 -> 769]
I immediately rose to level 700. The EXP that I got is probably the function I unlocked a long time ago. 'So that will be activated if you finished clearing the vicinity, huh?'
I smirked as I started running.
