Chapter 172 - Rank 3 Mage

Souta looked at all the skill points that he earned in the past few months. He saw that he earned enough skill points to level up one of his spells to level 10.

He earned most of this from the fight in the Gripen City. On that day, he received more than ten skill points. All the fight and the quest that he did was worth it.

Souta didn’t even care about reducing his life spans. He knew that if he wouldn’t risk it then there’s a possibility that he would die in the next version. Well, if he was going to say it ten years of his life span couldn’t be compared to the skill points that he received. He needed skill points the most so he couldn’t help it.

After the cultural festival, Souta grind the quest in the Adventurers Guild every day. He will complete two or three quests that have the reward of one skill point each. Sometimes, he couldn’t find any quest in the Adventurers Guild that have the rewards of skill points.

He understood it as he was still a C-rank adventurer. The highest reward that he could earn in this rank per quest was three skill points. Sometimes, if he was lucky enough he would be able to get a quest that has the rewards of four skill points. Unfortunately, he wasn’t lucky. All the quests that have high rewards came from Lumilia. If not for her, Souta wouldn’t be able to get those skill points.

If it was in the game, Souta would call Lumilia the quest giver. A type of NPC that gave a lot of quest to the players.

’What are you going to do? I felt that you contacted Yuko... Is it too early to escape from this jail?’ Saya’s voice made Souta snapped out of his daze.

’I know that... If I know the identity of the mastermind then I wouldn’t stay here.’ Souta said to Saya. He was after one thing... And that was the quest to fight the mastermind. His quest here was only to investigate the duke and nothing else. Since he finished investigating the duke, he only needed to find old man Jared to finish this quest.

Souta rubbed his chin and wondered if Lumilia would give him that quest. If he could trigger it then it’s great. He would fight that mastermind to free this dukedom from the mastermind’s hands.

But first, Souta had to level up his spell.

He looked at his surroundings and saw that it was quiet. The prisoner on the other jails was unusually quiet.

’Don’t bother me for a while.’ Souta said to Saya before he closed his eyes. He looked at his system and saw that he had 55 skill points. It was enough for him. He pondered for a while what spell he should level up.

He had only two choices. The [Shadow Spike] and the [Shadow Ball] spell. These two spells came from the system so he could only use these two to upgrade his class rank. If he used his other spells like [Mud Slide] or [Light Heal] then he would be able to promote his class rank.

If he level up his [Shadow Ball] spell, Souta would be able to cast several balls at the same time. It would help him a lot and his battle style would improve. But if he level up his [Shadow Spike] spell, Souta’s firepower would increase greatly. It wouldn’t be limited to the ground. He could spam [Shadow Spike] in any direction.

Currently, Souta’s crowd control ability was high. The level 10 [Shadow Bind] spell could hold down all the C-rank. It could even hold a monster with a monster orb for two seconds. It would increase as he was going to promote his class today.

Picking from these two spells was hard.

In the end, Souta picked the [Shadow Ball] spell. This spell has a lot of use than the [Shadow Spike] spell. Plus, he would unlock more skill in his skill tree once he was promoted to Rank 3 Mage.

Without hesitation, Souta used 54 skill points to level up his [Shadow Ball] spell to level 10. A system prompt sounded in his head.

*Ding!*

[You’ve fulfilled the requirements to promote the Mage class!]

[Do you want to promote your class to Rank 2? Yes/No?]

’Yes...’ Souta answered simply and several system prompts sounded in his head.

*Ding!*

[You’ve successfully ranked up to Rank 3 Mage!]

[Intelligence attribute has increased by 40!]

[Strength, Agility, Dexterity, and Vitality attributes have increased by 30!]

[Mana pool has increased by 100!]

[Magic resistance has increased by 100%!]

[Mana recovery has increased by 20!]

[Spell power has increased by 100%!]

*Ding!*

[Magic resistance has reached the first threshold!]

[You’ve gained the blessing 1st Tier Spell Immunity!]

[You’re now immune to all 1st tier spell!]

*Ding!*

[You’re Mana Pool has reached the first threshold!]

[Mana recovery has increased by 20!]

Souta felt his a warm energy coursing through his body. It was seeping to every fiber of his muscle.

The increase in his strength was tremendous. His magic resistance right now was so high that he was immune to all tier 1 spells. No matter what kind of spell it is as long as it was a tier 1 spell, Souta wouldn’t received any damage to it. The only downside of it was even if his ally casted a tier 1 buff spell to him, he wouldn’t receive it because of his resistance.

Luckily, he could turn off the blessing [1st Tier Spell Immunity] that he received. If not, then it would be a disaster for him. All the buff spell that he knew would be ineffective to him.

His mana pool was over one thousand so he gained something from it. The increase in his mana recovery. Currently, his recovery was 66 per hour. Back then, his mana recovery was only 1 mana per hour. So comparing it to his mana recovery right now, he could say that he improved a lot. The mana recovery would increase by five times when he was resting so he could recover all of his mana in just a few hours of sleep.

Souta smiled and he looked at his stats.

Souta looked at his stats with a satisfied expression. To think that he would come this far in just a few months since arriving in this world.

He was sure that he could dominate anyone at his level. He was strong to the people at C-rank level but comparing his strength to B-rank, he was still weak.

His other attributes were far from the first threshold so he doesn’t need to think about it right now.

His next goal was to promote to Battle Mage class. Promoting to Battle Mage Class would change everything to Souta. It was the starting point to dominate those higher-level creatures so couldn’t wait for it.

After a while, Souta opened his eyes and grinned. He looked down at his hand before he raised it.

A ball of shadow formed on top of his palm and it flew outside the jail. He was right, he could control this ball of shadow like an extension of his body, just like the [Shadow Bind] spell.

Souta smiled and he closed his eyes. He focused on controlling the ball of shadow. It was his first time using it, so he couldn’t control it properly.

Suddenly, the ground shook heavily and everyone in the Fersch Dukedom felt an oppressing aura pushing them on their knees.

"It comes at the right time. I could hardly hold myself back right now." Souta said as he stood up and looked at the small window on the top of the jail.

...

The powerful best feram swallowed the whole Fersch Dukedom. It suppressed all the mana inside it. The ordinary people fell on the ground and lose their consciousness.

It agitated all the dark vine monster in the sewers. One by one, they emerged from the ground and they caused chaos in the Fersch Dukedom.

Everything in the Fersch Dukedom changed in an instant.
