Chapter 869 Brawl
Ilea stayed in her ashen chair, sitting within the crater slowly filling up with murky water and blood. She looked through her skills and checked her Core skill point options.

Just one.
She wondered if there would ever be an option to unlock more of them. Perhaps, though with what she knew right now, she had to make her choice.
And only one of them felt right.
‘ding’ ‘Meditation reaches the 4th tier’
Meditation – 4th tier
While in the state of meditation you cannot move. Your natural mana and stamina regeneration is increased by a factor of 510%. The factor is improved upon leveling up the skill.
2nd stage: Your familiarity with Meditation lets you move slowly while the skill is active
3rd stage: Few ever reach this stage, normally through centuries of study and meditation. You have stood amidst death, trusting the flow of mana to be at your side. Vast experience and understanding has changed your very core. The effects of Wisdom are doubled. Meditation is no longer limited by movement.
4th tier: What others may reach only through millennia of introspection, you have found in the face of your enemies. You have fought absorbing and channeling spells meant to destroy you, have thrived in environments where the arcane was all present. You have pushed your every cell and very essence to the limit of what your magic can provide, and then beyond. You have seen and survived the grand spells cast by beings of legend, you have absorbed from their mana, have trained your resistances to match their prowess. Not a tree growing through centuries, but metal heated and struck, into the pinnacle of the arcane. Through the Fourth tier, your very core yet again is struck and molded. To face the path that you have chosen.
- The Fourth Tier allows you to enter a state of perfect synergy with the arcane for a maximum of 100 seconds [0/100]. This ability will recharge one second for every hour spent with Meditation active, and five seconds for every hour spent in motionless focused meditation.
While you are in perfect synergy, all remaining spell costs are reduced by 75% and you are immune to any averse effects caused by channeling extensive amounts of mana through your body.
Ilea read through the additions while holding her breath. She summoned another bottle and opened it. Now this is situational. Ridiculous while active, but the recharge time is a lot. Can’t really use it more than once in a fight. And even then, I mean I guess I can pretty much cast as many spells as I want, but getting hit is still an issue. Or can I just activate it for five seconds at a time?
The lack of averse effects, if that applies to the damage taken from my other fourth tier spell, then I suppose it would allow me to stay in there for much longer. And the cooldown of Reconstruction applies still, twice as long as I was in there.
And what does seventy five percent of remaining spell cost mean? So I guess the spells can’t be fully free, but the reduction is applied after any other reductions?
For anyone with really big spenders, the addition of this Fourth tier would’ve been insanely valuable, but her most expensive spell remained Archon Strike, and she still had to hit with it. With her Reconstruction Fourth tier already doubling mana regeneration and absorption, coupled with all the absorption from Sentinel Core, she rarely ran into major mana problems.
Even against the Oracle, the main issue was the damage she took during her Fourth Tier usage.
But I suppose I’d have insane burst damage while it’s active. I could go all out, for one hundred seconds, all while using my other Fourth tier for the full duration.
She would have to test it, see how it applied, how different the reduction felt, and how much additional burst damage she could get in with her high cost intrusion abilities. On paper it was great, but she worried about applications in a practical fight. For the Oracle she had just killed, it would’ve been insanely useful before reaching the mist realm. After that, not quite as much as she would have had to avoid enemy strikes anyway.
Upgrade is an upgrade, she finally thought and checked through her status, allocating her two hundred and twenty stat points into Intelligence. If her resources weren’t as much of a problem, she decided she may as well hit harder.

Number two down. And I’m getting closer to a third.
Ilea smiled and stood up. She raised her hand towards the hammer, a few silver threads extending before it moved itself into her hand. Her copies, she dissolved, happy to deal with any monsters herself.
She aimed for the general direction of the pulse she had felt and started flying. After a few minutes, she noted the complete absence of mist within the marshes.
Right. Rid the marshes of the endless mists. Suppose the environment is a tiny bit less hostile now, murder ravens, crocodiles, and frenzied elven monsters aside. Oh and the swamp itself attacking anyone in it.
I do wonder why the roots came for me back over that pond.
She flew for a while until she came upon a few fighting Dread Beasts. All of them were below level three hundred, wounds all over their bodies as they continued to slash each other with their blood magic. Bone and flesh magic too, she thought as she landed near the four injured creatures.
Ilea was most interested in the strange healing magic manifesting from their vicinity. She could tell the magic didn’t come from the Dread Beasts themselves, but she couldn’t make out the source either. Maybe the swamp itself? Just like it attacks creatures, it heals them?
She didn’t have to wait long for the creatures to notice her presence.
They turned and rushed at her, focusing on the human instead of each other.
Silent Memory cut through them in mere instants.
Again, Ilea could feel the pulse, already as the chunks of flesh hit the muddy ground with wet impacts. But something else followed.
A scream.
Distant, and blood-curdling. Barely audible were it not for her enhanced senses.
Ilea spread her ash and fire, even her Fourth Tier flaring to life at the feeling evoked by the scream. She wondered what it would’ve done to her without Veteran in the second tier. She felt on edge, the hair on her arms and neck standing up as she waited.
Taking in a deep breath, she checked her surroundings and waited for a moment longer. Nothing came for her, and so she deactivated her abilities again.
Same direction.
The pulse and the scream.
Guess I found my next enemy.
She spread her wings and flew in the direction of the scream. I won’t be scared by you. Nor anything else.
Ilea flew until she came upon a massive clearing in the marsh. No trees reached here and the earth smelled foul, wet with blood, the scent of iron heavy in the air. She saw Dread Beasts stumbling nearby, the first starting to notice her. Beyond she saw a small lake, unlike anything she had seen in the marshes or beyond. Blood red and still. For but a moment.
A pulse thrummed from within the lake, dense magic spreading out as a ripple moved over the surface. A few seconds passed and another one followed, the same thrum resounding. It repeated every few seconds.
Groans from nearby made Ilea turn towards the Dread Beasts, the first of them running her way. Silver threads rushed out and cut into the creature, bone armor appearing on its injured skin, blocking the attack before it rushed onward, spikes of bone pushing out of its hands.
Ilea raised her brows as her ashen limbs spread out.
[Dread Beast – lvl 783]
Well.
She met the creature, ash scraping against bone before it reached her. Bone dug into her ash as her punch slammed into its chest, Archon Strike and Tempered Seal flashing up and into the elf like monster. Blood and bone exploded out of its back, the skin knitting back together as bone spikes shot out of the ground.
Ilea teleported up, her wings spread as she summoned barriers before her, various projectiles of blood and bone crashing into the defense, the shields holding up. She saw a few of the monsters take flight with flesh or blood wings exploding out of their backs, screeches and hisses resounding.
Ilea let go of her hammer, silver threads spreading out as it fell into the heap of monsters, a dozen already present, all of them at a far higher level than those she had seen before. She summoned a few dozen ashen spears and sent them down, piercing skin and flesh, skewering the monsters into the blood soaked earth. But again she felt the same healing magic from before, far more potent, far closer, even the most heavily injured creatures healed in mere moments.
This time she could feel the source, glancing at the still thrumming lake.
Silver threads entangled with blood whips, bone saws, and meshes of flesh growths, neither able to destroy the other.
“Is somebody there? Can you talk to me?” she called out as heat gathered in her core, the Dread Beasts below mostly entangled with her hammer. A few managed to disengage and went for her instead. She tried with telepathy but neither elicited a response.
She caught the closest monster attacking her, ignoring the crude blood magic sword cutting into her mantle. Charging her Archon Strike, she held the struggling creature with her ashen limbs and finally punched its head, the internal explosion of destructive mana made its skull whip back with an explosion of flesh, bone, and brain, splattering down with the body going limp.
She heard the sound in her mind when a scream came from the lake itself. Loud and present, invading her mind with unhinged fury, and horror. Ilea reeled back as her ash defended her against the Dread Beasts that reached her, their magic scraping into the first few layers of her mantle, the wounds on them caused by her ash healing quickly. Ilea felt the thrumming pick up, the mana growing more dense with each repetition. The scream lasted for several seconds, Ilea breathing out when the sound finally stopped.
The Dread Beasts froze when another scream resounded, the sound primal, carrying no warning with it but the promise of violent death.
She watched as the beasts scurried away, running or flying into the marshes all around, howls and hisses resounding.
Ilea flew down, letting go of the corpse as her hammer slammed into her palm. She watched the lake, the thrums now quick as mana coalesced all around. The smell of iron heavy in the air. She felt it, as if time slowed, seeing a single figure rise from the center of the lake.
Long ears extended from the blood red skull covered in smooth red flesh, white hair soaked in blood, two arms and legs, defined muscle and a near two meter form. No skin covered her, only smooth red flesh, oozing with blood. Her eyes were a dark red with no pupils. Two wings of smooth red flesh grew out of her back as she crouched slightly, standing on the blood of the lake. Her mouth opened to reveal sharp teeth. A deep hiss, the sound prolonged, as if she breathed out for the first time in centuries, and then she charged.
Ilea perceived the attack already, seeing the shock wave extend from where the creature had stood. She moved into a stance as fast as she could, her ashen limbs going forward as her body lit up with white flame, shields conjured before her.
A fist crashed through the defenses, Ilea deflecting it just barely with her right arm, entire layers stripped off her mantle near the grazing punch, her own blood rupturing with a burst of insane magical power. She moved her wings to get back, her ash piercing into the red skin of the monster when its second punch forced her to teleport.
[Oracle of the Forgotten – lvl ????]
The being was at a lower level than the last, near the two thousand mark. The sound of the shock wave finally reached her.
Ilea’s teleport didn’t help much, she could feel her body tense up when blood magic invaded her. Blood ruptured throughout, her healing pushing against the damage, her high resistance the only thing that kept her in the fight. The split second was enough for the Oracle to close the distance, her heavy punches coming in with incredible speed, shock waves extending from the sheer strength. Her attacks were wild and unhinged but Ilea found herself on the defensive anyway, her precognition and all of her fighting skills and experience just barely enough to deflect a few of the punches, the strikes still enough to damage her mantle, the blood magic rupturing her insides.
Her fires spread onto the being but fell with the oozing blood, any damage done to the red layer of flesh by both her ash and fires healed near instantly. Ilea dodged to the side, feeling the fist rush past, the air pulling against her resistance and wings. Blood magic erupted from the being, her internals damaged before she was forced to teleport, appearing only to see the Oracle close the distance. Three punches followed, Ilea dodging the first, deflecting the second, and unable to evade the third.
Her mantle was dented in, her chest cavity followed, blood and air punched out of her mouth as the reverberating shock wave trembled through her entire body. She was sent backwards, her leg caught by the creature’s left hand, her chest knitting back together with her third tier before the next punch shattered through her shields and ashen wall, slamming into her thigh where everything below her ash was turned to mush. The next punch cracked her bone, and the next ripped through it all.
She teleported again, as far away as she could, her wings keeping her up. She felt no pain from the ripped off and broken leg, the limb already reforming. Ilea activated her Fourth Tier, blue runes coming to life as the Oracle reached her once again, into and through the extending beam of white flame, Embered Heart exploding into the approaching creature without slowing it down. She tried to adjust to the wild strikes, reminded of a fight she’d had back on Earth. A woman with over twenty kilos on her, little technique, and what felt like an unending amount of stamina.
With her Fourth Tier, she could almost keep up, deflecting punch after punch with a heavy toll on her mana pool. She punched back, striking the monster’s chin with a jab when she got an opening, immediately ducking back and away when it grabbed at her. She kept up the fight, both of them no longer flying but walking in the blood soaked mud. Ilea tried to keep the monster at bay, using her ashen limbs and fires to inflict what little damage that she could, but everything was healed, time and time again, her own mana reduced with every grazing punch and every direct use of blood magic.
She deactivated her spell and teleported to avoid the next punch, caught soon after with a series of wild strikes, the last two hitting her head. Ilea could feel her skull cracking with the first, below the remaining bits of ash on her face. Her nose was broken and her lower jaw was ripped away with the second, her eyes exploding in a burst of blood. She felt herself lose consciousness and brought herself back with her third tier healing. Her shift activated before the Oracle could grab her head.
White flame rushed out, tendrils of writhing flesh, and space itself pushing back against the fabric of reality. She healed as quickly as she could, seeing the winged figure of blood and flesh step forward in her dominion.
Fire burned as flesh writhed, the Oracle screaming as she cut into the flames with blood enhanced claws.
Ilea could see even the wisps of the fabric quiver at the sheer presence of magic. She wondered for a moment as her jaw and eyes reformed, how she was still alive. And why she was facing a creature like this.
She saw the white hair of the being, her sharp teeth as she hissed, pulling and cutting the indestructible realm Ilea had conjured herself into. And she was gaining ground.
Ilea cut the spell and tried to deflect the next attacks, only to be forced to teleport again. When the creature reached her, she was sent flying with a kick that broke through her hip, the explosion of blood rupturing through her abdomen. Ilea spun through the air, breaking through several trees on the way before she impacted the mud, digging a furrow before she raised her arms, another punch already coming down at her. She sent a push of space magic against the creature, deflecting the punch slightly as she moved her head to the side. A clawed hand dug into her neck before she teleported out, summoning a gate to Kohr and closing it immediately once she was through.
She stood there for a moment, her shattered hip healing near instantly, the bone groaning as it shifted back into place. She touched her neck, the wound already healed but her ash covered hand came away soaked in blood.
She’s got a bit more on me than twenty kilos.
Comments
Kinda dissapointed on the cooldown of the meditation 4th tier.
ricky jackson
lol so the first oracle might have just been lucky the second one is proof perfect enemy for her to practice her new damage potency against. being just like her in regards to fighting style with potentially even better healing and defense, its gonna take a one shot kill to take it down more then likely which means ilea is gonna have to learn how to synergize all of her abilites now into arguably the strongest attack weve seen yet, cus to one shot a lvl 2000 healing tank is a feat we have yet to seen also she is ready to head back to the meadows home realm, maybe play with icy for a lil while and whip some Cephalon daughters ass. and if she could convince icy to comback with her it could live in the second to last lvl of the meadows duengon, giving them 3 lvl 2000 plus guardians of the duengon
ricky jackson
@yannick true didnt think about the fact it could destroy her gate, between her having a gste in the mist world snd in the high arcane energy of the meadow i kinda just figured she could make it happen, but the source is basically the most op thing as of yet so i shouldn't under mind it
Jasonzerowars Playes
I feel a good old fashion dragon ball match coming lol!!!!!!!! Just high speed punches breaking the sound Barrier and a wave of ki blasts every now and then
yannick schwende
I'm not sure if the source idea is valid. For one, I think it was shielded against outside teleport and second, its mana may as well just burn her gate down before she gets any use out of it. Still a neat idea. In regards to the ocean pressure I'm not sure whether the damage output would be high enough for her stronger opponents but it would likely be a amazing control skill against masses of weaker enemies such as the dread beasts.
David Brims
Unfortunately the 4th Tier didn't change the mana recovery rate. It was 510% at 3rd lv 30
Aaron Stewart Nagy
I think its the time scale, because many of the fights where she runs out of mana are described to go on for a long long time. But yes using it could dramatically increase her staying power though if she can run it is probably the better option...what i forget is what the mana recovery base rate was before at lv3 30.
Rainer
No, what he has works.
David Brims
I don't think we'll see the full potential of the Meditation 4th Tier until she gets her final T4s. Maybe not even then - we might need to wait for her lv 1000 evolutions
David Brims
Yeah, a full 3rd tier healing up to 100 times a battle at 1/4 the normal cost? Sign me up!
Vortozan
Brilliant as always, thanks for the read!
Vortozan
Yeah, a creature 40 levels lower than her couldn’t be killed easily. That’s not surprising really, considering it has bone, blood and flesh magic and is being super healed by an oracle of level 2000. Also, the level system has consistently been stated as a very fragile guideline. It’s how ilea is able to fight so far above her level, she pushes herself harder than what’s considered safe or acceptable for her level and thus gets stronger faster than others. She’s an outlier. There are plenty of other outliers out there as well, as has been shown. This start of her confrontation with this particular oracle was very down to Earth. It feels like two people engaging in fisticuffs at super speeds cause that’s exactly what it is. The oracle has blood, bone and flesh magic (estimated guess) and the leads to a very strong body, ilea is using everything in her arsenal to deflect the superior forces directed at her and it’s impossible to do so fully. So I’m not surprised it’s gone back to a more basic streamlined fight, it’s natural.
Zarik0
"She’s got a bit more on me than twenty kilos." :P I was more seeing a more passive buff 4tier here and not something so "specific" and active but i guess it work too, guess its for the big synergy when she will get the other tier 4 together, seem kind of very specific too (was seeing a part of the tier 4 with also a passive buff too into it, not only a active specific like that get by the upgrade) Also why did she mean by she not have mana problem and its more for damage that she retreat so have to see for this new tier 4? she retreated a lot of time because she was very low on mana in just the past few chapter, if she burst the max possible or take great damage and need a lot of move to def she use a lot of mana and get drained pretty fast If the cooldown of this new tier was not so awfull it will really help her to spam and burst and move at max capacity all time in her fight (she need to restrain herself a lot as of now or she just kill her mana bar so fast)
It'sATap
So I'm seeing five routes for the final two fourth tier spells. Route 1 (Uncatchable Ultra Ilea) : Space Manipulation and Avatar of Ash Route 2 (Arcane Fire) : Fires of Creation and Tempered Seal Route 3 (Ultra Tank Girl) : Primordial Flesh and Mantle of the Titan Route 4 (Stalker Ilea, Croucing Demon) : Reality Warp and Ashen Wings Route 5 (Magic Scholar U-Turn) - Space Manipulation and Origin of Ash and Embers Most are silly but I really like Route 1 and 2!
Stefan Mensink
Honestly she could probably just activate it for a second at a time to quickly boost certain skills like 3rd tier healing to make it cheaper, or her fire cannon to make it stronger.
hill44
Yeah, Ilea is taking alot of the sting out of attacks that would turn her into a red mist without the Star and her ash barriers. For anything near, at, or a fair bit above her level, she has basically near impenetrable defenses.
mike
The only reason she has to stop her fourth tier is when running out of mana, the cool down reflects time spent in the 4th tier. The cool down is equivalent to how long she spends in the form. She could stay in it forever if she had the mana. Mediation gives her more mana via spending reduction, perhaps even the mana that gets spent on damage received will lessen as well. With mediation 4th tier she doesn't have to manage her resources nearly as much for 100 seconds.
ricky jackson
i would love to see ilea change her gate location to the kohr ocean and then put the other in the blood lake, and teleport all the blood and the oracle into kohr ocean and use monster hunter and the blood to call upon the other gods of kohr, and we end up with out first god battle royale. also illea could totally use the water pressure deep below the ocean and open up a tiny teleportation gate the would turn the pressurized water into a water laser/saw, not sure how well she can reorient her gate for a moving opponent but still a idea. last idea she opens up a gate to the source and literally just summons the force of a sun to where ever she is, and she knows she will survive it which usally cant be said for her opponents
ricky jackson
her new fourth tier is op specifically in regards to it having synergy with her other skills, ileas flames of creation and other skills have a self destructive capacity to them which she no longer has to waste extra mana fixing the damage and though a lot of her skills have a low base cost a few of them can be super charged relatively instantly, like increasing her internal heat with ember heart she doesnt have to worry about the damage and she can charge it for way less mana cost, in the right conditions who says she cant get as hot as a star now within seconds and continuosly throw out solar flare levels of destruction for 100 seconds, or time it for precise cosmic lvl attacks if im wrong please tell me
The primary limiting factor on her other 4th tier spell is the cooldown, not the cost. She could use it for 100 seconds over a 300 second period already, just spread out.
Once she uses that 100 seconds, her Reconstruction goes back on cooldown for 200 seconds. So it doesn't really increase uptime, just lets her use it continuously instead of spread out over the fight. And Illea is an endurance fighter, not a burst. This does give her options but it's not super overwhelming. And then once those 100 seconds are used up, it's a minimum of 20 hours to refill if she sits and meditates while not moving, and 100 hours if she meditates while doing other stuff.
mike
I'm pretty sure it synergizes well with her current 4th tier spell. I' think it makes her 4 times as durable since damage is taken from her mana in the state and it's gonna allow her to push way harder in her 4th tier state for 100 seconds since she is immune to adverse effects for those 100 seconds.
mike
What do you mean? it allows her to use her other 4th tier spell with reckless abandon for 100 seconds. That is huge.
BaguaBrady
I'm guessing it'll really show it's worth with her other two T4s, which I suspect will be mana hungry spells
Narf
Not sure how useful 4th tier meditation is for her. Doesn't really seem to fit her build. As for this oracle, it might very well be that she currently is nowhere near strong enough to fight it. It is faster, stronger, it doesn't give Ilea the time to build her resistances and it self-heals very quickly if Ilea can even land a hit.
BaguaBrady
I don't think you're appreciating enough she's playing in the realms of gods though. The azarinth Star is very powerful to even be useful against her current opponents
4th Tier feels kind of underwhelming. On the surface it has synergy with the 4th Tier Reconstruction, but remember Reconstruction goes on cooldown based on the duration it's used. So really this doesn't let her use it more, it just changes how she can use it. Barring a "Last Stand" scenario where she saves it up and goes 4th Tier for over a minute, but then she's locked out for a long time. The 75% reduction is solid but since she can only sparingly use 4th Tier Meditation because of the use/recharge ratio, it's barely going to have an impact.

Wait does this mean she can just channel mana through her like she did with Violence and won't be harmed for 100 seconds?

So, is safe to assume that red is the favorite color of the Oracle of the Forgotten?

It was an exaggeration I know, but the Azarinth star was alluded to be very powerful even in the early stages. I guess I was just disappointed it couldn't do more.
Theron Schamle
2 4th tier skills of the 4 that she can currently get.

It's not "everything", it's beings 3 times her level and higher than 2k, they are gods of their own domain for all intents and purposes and Ilea is exterminating them like they were vermin in her attic.
Arnon Parenti
Hello, my name is Oracle of the Lost, you killed my mother, prepare to die.
Nate
And interesting upgrade. I, like Ilea, am not really sure how she might use it but it has potential. Maybe this means Ilea will evolve ember core? :D
Nate
"have thrived in environments where the arcane was all present" All that was, maybe?

Also I don't know why Rhaeger keeps nerfing Ilea. Cause it's either that or there is something I don't understand. What is the point of her mantle and shields if everything simply punches trough it no problem?. Before she gained multiple layers of the mantle creatures of her level couldn't penetrate her ash and now all of a sudden monsters 100lvls lower than her can punch trough multiple layers of her ash? What's up with that?. Same thing with her damage output her ash could punch trough the flesh of an oracle (level 2000) but skids off the armour of a dread beast (level 700+) ? I have alluded to this a number of times. Lastly, Ilea is strong, she is powerful (supposedly) but when she fights it doesn't feel that way sometimes. if you take away the statement that she is fighting a level 2000 oracle and leave just the fighting scenes it no longer looks like a battle between god like beings it mostly feels like a battle between two somewhat powerful creatures. The last battle that really felt grandiose was her battle against the Storm elemental.

I feel arcane magic resistance or heat resistance would have been better. If either the fourth tier skills gave her immunity, her damage output would increase drastically. With arcane she would be able to stay in the 4th tier state indefinitely and with heat resistance she would be able to continue to generate an increasingly ridiculous amount of heat. That could deal passive damage to anything thing she is fighting and just make her attacks deadlier. Deviant of humanity would have also given her a seriously good boost. But I guess it is what it is.

I would find great that killing those Oracle made a big shift with the elves.

Damn, Ilea! What is this, Oracle hunting season?

I thought she was talking about how many T4 abilities she has unlocked (2). She has number two down, and she is getting close to a third (unlocks at Lv 850)
Thomas Payne
I wondered this too
Yshua
What does “two down” mean here? I thought at first she meant the marionette and the giant Oracle of the Lost, but didn’t she get only one notification for those two?
