In a span not even reaching a single second, nothing else could be hear but the sound of gunshot and that of something ripping through the air. These sounds are not present so that someone could react to them. No. They are there to tell someone or something that, death has finally come. And it will not wait.It did not ring the bell to wait outside your doorstep. Because in the first place, death is not even waiting there. Death is already inside and his scythe has already been swung at your neck.That, is the perfect representation of what happened with Asther’s prototype. The bullet did its job and, hit the crack just as intended. Right at the middle where the mana core is supposed to be located.For three seconds, nothing happened to the golem. In fact, the other golems began to move in accordance to this sound. Making Asther think that the bullet wasn’t actually able to pierce right through. But he’s wrong.The golem, after another second passing, has finally fallen to the ground
[Congratulations! You have unlocked a new achievement!][Title: No Such Thing As Armor][Achievement Ranking: SSS+][Information: Achievement is attained after killing at least twenty high defense creatures within a span of twenty minutes.][Information: There are lower rankings to this achievement. These have already been bypassed since you have gone beyond them and have reached the peak of the achievement.]This notification popped up as soon as Asther cleared up all of the golems. Not a single one of this creature remained in the battlefield. Every single one of it fell to the grim reaper that is Asther. And this is only natural because, he finally has his hands on his scythe, the Prototype.It's clear enough for Asther not to ask his System about it anymore. In fact, there’s nothing about it that he needs to ask. It’s basically something that he reaped after taking down all of those golems. And judging by how he reached the peak of the achievement already, he’s guessing that he ha
At the current moment, Asther’s skills is divided into five major categories. Offensive skills which can be used to attack. There isn’t actually much in this category. In fact, there isn’t even any active skills that is within this category. Something which Asther only realized at that moment.As for the defensive skills, he doesn’t have much either. There are only a couple of them. There are only two of these in fact. Skills that he only acquired recently because of the dealings with the Ragencliffs.As for movement skills. Well, there is only a single skill in this category. The shadow dive active skill. A skill that allows him to swap places with one of his undead. However, even though he only has a single movement skill, Asther thinks that the flexibility of this skill is all that he needs and nothing more.Next there are the utility skills. And this is what Asther has in plenty. A skill that raises his accuracy. A skill that allows him to see through walls if he concentrates enou
[Skill Name: Skill Merger][Skill Type: Active][Mana Cost: 2000][Information: A skill that permits the combination of three skills at maximum. The new skill that would come out from the merge will have the characteristics of the skills that were used in the merging. However, the amount of similarity the new skill will have with the skills that would be used for the merging is completely random. Nothing can affect this.][Information: The new skill that comes out of the skill merging cannot be subject to a new merge any longer. Please choose the skills that you will merge with care.][Information: The spells that would be used for the merging would be automatically added once the caster thinks of these with assurance. The spells can also be taken down if there is a sudden change in mind. The skills will not merge as long as the caster doesn’t give the final order.]“Well, that’s problematic.” Asther said after reading all of the skill’s information.At first, he thought that this wou
The magic circle glowed as the three skills merged. Asther can still feel his body being drained but, at the same time, this is quickly being washed away by the items that he got after defeating Claire’s fiancé.The earrings that stored mana immediately released it. Replenishing Asther’s reserves that was forcefully taken in the blink of an eye due to the skill’s mana requirement.The magic circle continued to glow brighter. To the point that Asther needed to close his eyes. A strong force of wind also blew at the same time. This lasting for a couple of seconds before it finally disappeared alongside the light. Allowing Asther to see once again. His eyes focusing on the System screen that, displayed the skill that came out.[Skill Name: Odin’s Vision][Skill Type: Passive][Mana Consumption: None][Information: Upon entering combat, the user gains the ability to see silhouettes of his enemy. This serves as an omen; predicting the movement that the opponent would make in the next three
Asther caught the scent of food being cooked from a mile away. He didn’t teleport directly in the middle of camp. Instead, he decided to take a bit of a walk beforehand.Asther needed to make sure that all of his muscles are properly cooled down after all. At the same time, he placed his Prototype inside his dimensional pouch. Thinking that there’s no reason for him to show it to the group. Although, there’d also be no harm if he did.The sun is already setting for that day. Asther didn’t notice it but, he actually took his sweet time with the whole list of things that he did. From the forging of the Prototype, to the testing out of the weapon and then the creation of a new passive.It has truly been a fruitful day for him. It’s almost like he’s cheating with how quickly he leveled up in comparison to his allies who needs to put in thrice the amount of effort.But it isn’t like he’s not putting in his own effort as well of course. The only reason why Asther has received as much succes
Just as Asther promised, the following day, he decided to show his allies how his weapon worked. He gave the whole group a front row seat. All of them being around him as Asther began to set things up for the sniping.“Aren’t you too far from the target?” Octavia asked.Asther looked at the distance. It’s true that they do seem to be too far away from the ogres which are the target for that day’s demonstration. In fact, there is a good one-hundred-mile gap between their group and the monster nest.Asther’s team can only see the monsters as dots at that point. Nevertheless, the fact that they could still be seen is an important factor. That’s why he chose large targets such as ogres in the first place. Furthermore, he didn’t want to make binoculars for the group. Creating another item that should only exist on earth would simply place more suspicion on who he really is. And this is something that the necromancer can’t have.“That’s not a problem.” Asther assured them with a grin.“You’
But that is only what it seems. Asther knows that the only reason why they aren’t asking yet is because they are still a bit shocked with everything that has happened. It’s not easy to cope with the fact that he just killed off all those ogres in that short span of time.This monster type, jus like the golems, are known for their sturdy constitution. They aren’t creatures that can easily be taken down no matter what. In fact, it would usually take a group of three people to take down a single ogre. And that even requires that these three people should be seasoned warriors.This very concept seem to be insulted by what Asther did. That’s why he also knows that the current state of his allies is perfectly valid. At the same time, he also figured that they won’t actually accept things as they are. In fact, he knows that they’d be asking things soon enough and, the questions that he thought of in his head, are the same ones that his allies began speaking of.“How can we be sure that you a
