The dragonfly split down the centre and both halves hit the ground before Dalis could utilise the barrier. Dalis didn’t even blink when he saw another two of those blue dragonflies’ heads go up, putting a great deal of distance between the bodies they were previously attached to. A figured seemed to flicker between the shadows, and Dalis saw two scary green eyes looking at him with a piercing gaze, if looks could kill he was certain that he would have been long dead. “Melissa!” Siara cried as relief flooded her body upon seeing the Rogue faction leader. Melissa seemed to wake up hearing Siara’s voice and tore her piercing gaze of Dalis, “Don’t stop moving princess, move northward for another five blocks,” she said, her tone was icy. “SCREEEEEEEE!” the leader of the swarm finally seemed to take notice of the deaths of the three blue dragonflies, and it seemed to be pissed, for the first time it took action by itself and charged down towards them with an ear grating screech that co
[Condition to Activate Honours Heart has been met] [Honours Heart 1st activation] [Protect the lives of the innocent] [All stats +5%] Raylin’s eyes flashed open as he looked on with stunned horror as the words of the Records etched themselves across his vision. His eyes darted across the status screen and he looked at the lifestyle sub-class tab, but just like before it was empty. Yet the sub-class ability [Honours Heart] that belonged to his lifestyle sub-class ‘The Honourable Path’ was clearly displayed on the status screen and all of Dalis’s stats saw an increase. It wasn’t much for most of his stats but strength and dexterity saw a large increase and it went directly into Dalis’s stats, it wasn’t separated by Raylin’s stats. The entire soul space lit up with a shimmering golden aura, and Raylin felt a strange sensation wash over him, he reached out and found that he had the power to manipulate the status screen. He saw that Dalis had twenty free main class stat points, he
As the bug hit the wall, Raylin walked forward without giving it another look, he walked up to Siara and saw her looking up at him with fading eyes, even as she bleed out she didn’t seem to blame him at all, and a light smile touched the corners of her lips. Raylin looked deeply at her, and his face lightened as he looked down at her, he crouched down and set a hand against her wound, “The radiance of the honourable shines brightly in you, brighter than it does in most,” as he spoke a bit of energy leaked out of his palm plugging up the wound where blood constantly leaked from her neck. It was rough treatment compared to what healing pulse’s and spells could achieve, but it was all he had to work with. Siara’s eye turned strange as she looked up, even in her fuzzy state she could tell that there was something different about him, especially with the way he spoke. Rumble. The entire building shuddered as the bug remerged its wings fluttered, and it looked at Raylin with an intense
Raylin’s face stiffened when he felt how cold Siara’s body had become, she was almost like a corpse. Smack. Raylin took a sudden hit to the face, Melissa’s bloody hands struck hard enough to send his head wobbling, her bloody hands left their mark on his face. “Damn you,” Melissa spat in fury, she could tell that it was a hopeless case to save Siara, even though the wound was now sealed, she had lost far too much blood. “This is all because of you, do you have any idea how important her life is?” she shouted in anger, had she had any more strength to use she would have killed him then and there. Raylin turned back with out any sign of anger, and accepted Melissa’s anger despite it not actually being his fault, he could see that she deeply cared for and respected Siara. Melissa was about to hit him again, but Siara’s hand came up as she weakly caught Melissa’s arm. Raylin looked down at Siara, despite her awful state she refused to give up, she was someone who was truly strong i
Dalis woke up to a dark and empty room, well dark by the standards of other races. It was a tiny room that had a single toilet for him to do his business and about enough space for him to curl up on the floor. There were no windows or lights, and the door was sealed shut not allowing even the slightest trace of light to pass through, ordinarily he would have found the situation amusing. Locking a person up in a dark and cramped space was seen as some type of punishment, the tiny and dark space did little to Dalis, but his real punishment was not knowing what had happened. He vaguely remembered what happened, he remembered the floor covered in Siara’s blood, then everything after that felt so distant, bits and pieces of Raylin taking over flashed before his eyes. He shut his eyes and felt his mind get sucked up into the soul space, when he entered he instantly spotted Raylin, but his face quickly paled after seeing Raylin’s condition. Raylin had always bore a sickly look since th
[Titles: User of Numbers (I)] The first change Dalis noticed was his title’s, he had received it on his first day in the settlement, User of Numbers was a very easy title to achieve, to his knowledge it was a perquisite to several sub-classes that involved any math. [Sub-Class: (Perform tasks and fulfil hidden requirements to acquire sub-classes)] [Lifestyle S/C:] [Profession S/C:] [Universal S/C: (Common) Ordinary Swordsman – Level 4 (0/500) - (expand/collapse) (Uncommon) Ordinary Energy Swordsman – Level 2 (0/600) - (expand/collapse) The second change was the sub-classes, he had earned, currently all the sub-classes he earned would fall under ‘Universal Sub-Classes’, that would change once he selected his main class at level 25. At that point sub-classes associated with his main class would fall under ‘Profession Sub-Classes’, as for ‘Lifestyle Sub-Classes’ they could be any sub class, Dalis could chose either of his current ones as a ‘Lifestyle Sub-Class’. But only one su
Layla watched as Dalis entered the room, she looked on with a stern expression as their eyes met, she could see the surprise in his eyes. “Siara, is she…” Dalis began to ask, his eyes quickly darted away to meet the ground. “My niece is in recovery, rest assured her condition is stable… for now,” Layla replied sternly, she could see the visible relief in Dalis’s body language the moment she spoke. “Take a seat,” she invited him to the seat that sat opposite her. Dalis shifted with discomfort and took his seat all the while he was doing his best to avoid looking at Layla. “May I know what this is about?” he asked, since Siara was alright he could guess that he was going to receive some punishment. “Look at me when you speak child,” Layla snapped at him in a hard yet motherly tone, she sounded like an angered mother, chastising a child’s actions. “Holy shit,” Dalis muttered with a twitch of his eye, her snappy tone almost got him to jump. Layla frowned, thinking his response to
Dalis winced as the intense light shone down on him, until just a moment ago the room was dark, but he could see everyone as they gathered in the stands. There were thirteen seats, 10 of which formed a circle, the other 3 stood further back, in those three seats was the duke, the duchess, and in the third seat Siara was supposed to be seated. But due to her condition she was absent from the trial, instead another woman sat her place, Dalis couldn’t be certain of the woman’s identity, but she did remind him of the girl he had seen Siara arguing with during the awakening. That was when the beam of light struck down and forced him to shut his eyes, after he blinked the light was no longer as intense, but due to the intense light that hit him it was hard to make out the details of the rest of the room. Dalis waited patiently as the room filled out, he could hear the numerous footsteps filling in, gradually each of the ten 10 seats were filled by the faction leaders, and behind each le
