Chapter 304 Approach to Power
Three hundred and you already took one down? Not bad Ilea. Maro nodded, Especially for a healer. His grin brightened his face, green eyes sparkling.
Suspected as much. Well I guess Im going to be underestimated again. Ilea said, sitting down on the chair and putting away the Kingsguard blade again after showing him. Youre not fucking with me are you?
[Necromancer lvl 310]
Maro laughed, shaking his head, No, for once Im not. You identify as a healer. Having told me about both classes leveling I assume your first class is the healer one. If your second one gets higher youll be a warrior or mage again, depending on what it is.
Well, speaking of underestimating I have to give credit where credit is due. I thought Id be stuck in her for a decade at least. When you talked about the Descent as well as the Taleen dungeon. Seeing your constant growth, I hoped for a couple years. To think it took less than a couple months. He shook his head.
And here I though I was crazy. The king laughed and Ilea smiled, sitting in her Hand leather armor, cuts showing on her shoulder and side. Nothing that would threaten the integrity of the outfit but she would have to change it eventually.
At least I have regenerating armor now. That fight would have used up like ten sets of my usual one. Might have even cut straight through my limbs again. Even with all those bonuses. She sighed.
His eyes were focused on her, What? Not satisfied with your growth? Even though youre one of the youngest people Ive met reaching three hundred? With an assortment of abilities that would actually let you advance even further?
No Im definitely happy. Just a bit tired is all. Ilea replied. She could face and kill Kingsguard that were being healed, a feat she doubted a whole human expedition would manage. Fuckers were at level five hundred after all.
You dont really need much sleep anymore do you? Oh tired of all the fighting. Well I can see that. I appreciate it you know.
Ilea smirked and leaned her head back, looking at the white marble ceiling, Didnt do it for you Maro. You could however have given me some info about the magic abilities they have. The one I faced sent mana waves capable of cutting through steel my way.
Sure, you didnt. He smiled, looking incredibly handsome. As to their abilities, when I created them they didnt have such. Capable swordsmen and women, sure. Youll have to figure it out by yourself.
She only watched through her sphere, not giving him the satisfaction. Neither did she react in any way. He wasnt much of a help regarding the abilities of the Kingsguard either.
Well we can visit Lisburg when Im out. Catelyn told me most of the city turned dungeon is now a place where Dark Ones dwell. Fine by me, as long as theres something to eat and drink. Some of the vineyards still remain Im told. He added.
Cant imagine a more relaxing dungeon exploration than a team with you and Terok in it.
He snorted, Oh stop it, you love us. Even if you hate us.
How does that even make sense. Ilea asked herself but realized she was smiling despite his nonsense.
Sitting up again, she spoke, Youre not going to visit Elana in Hallowfort? Im sure she already has plans to implement you in her takeover of the world.
His lips formed a line, eyes losing some of their joy, She does. Which is why shes not here and why I wont be visiting her. At least not immediately. I declined my help. We were a good team, built a kingdom and governed more or less successfully. Decades of work and dedication. I would fight and die for Rhyvor Ilea, even today. Nearly did in the end. But this is it.
And here I thought a necromancer at three hundred wouldnt need sleep either. She said, crossing her arms.
Maro snorted, She blames me I think. His voice was quiet again, For being stuck with me all this time.
When you were king and queen?
No. In here. He said.
Ilea raised her eyebrows, Well as far as I recall it was her choice. Or was that a lie?
It was her choice.
Ilea smiled, Oh I get it. You think she blames you for falling in love with you. Pretty insensitive, shes been down here for decades you know, conscious at least. Maybe you just fucked up an enchantment or something.
He laughed in turn, I can see why you would think that. Im a king Ilea, theres hardly a man in a position to think higher of himself than that. Still, you dont know her. Not like I do.
True. Why do you care then? She hasnt given you much attention sine you woke up.
He smiled, shaking his head, Now youre the one being insensitive. Well I can see why you dislike her. She never liked Elana either.
Ilea cocked her head, She?
Adventurer friend of old. You reminded me of her before. Now you seem quite different but there are some things that fit. A dislike for Elana being one of them. For understandable reasons.
You think shes still around? Might be fun if you think shes similar. Ilea commented.
She was cut apart in an inn, by a bunch of mercenaries she offended. Half drunk I was told. Maro said.
She pointed at him, Doesnt sound like me then. Im uncuttable. Did you kill the mercenaries?
Doubt it. She was pretty tough too. Not expecting an attack can do a number on you. No. The girl had friends all over, someone else reached them before me. Nasty scene. His voice had turned even more quiet.
We found him by the way. Terok found him. The knight patrolling the throne room. Maro said suddenly. Seeing her questioning gaze, he elaborated, My son. Well, his body at least.
Ilea nodded. Ill try not to smash his face in. She didnt voice the thought, unsure why he had even shared it in the first place. She hadnt forgotten his plea to keep their corpses. For a funeral or additional resurrection, she didnt know. Either way, she didnt fear him. Hadnt before but now she was even confident in facing him. A bunch of undead wouldnt stop her from crushing his skull, before they could tear through her defenses. The thought felt weird. Ilea knew him, considered him a friend even. Yet she couldnt shake the suspicion, her rational mind sure he was too smart for such a stupid move.
Sighing again, she looked through her potential third tier advancements.
Youre in a terrific mood today. Maro said.
She stared at him, Be happy someone came to visit grandpa.
Confusion was apparent on his face before he started laughing, Ilea focusing back on her skills.
3rd tier skill points available [The Azarinth Sentinel]: 1
Skills available for third tier advancement in [The Azarinth Sentinel]:
- Sentinel Sphere
- Azarinth Perception
- Azarinth Reversal
3rd tier skill points available [Kin of Ash]: 1
Skills available for third tier advancement in [Kin of Ash]:
- Storm of Cinders
- Avatar of Ash
- Heart of Cinder
Well theyre all fucking amazing. Sphere and Perception would likely give some utility and Reversal might be offensive power. All are interesting. Maybe Im wrong too. Never know what youre going to get. Box of bloody chocolates.
For her second class Ilea too was favoring either Storm of Cinders or Heart of Cinder. Both could enhance her offensive capabilities. Hey can you help me out? I still have my third tier points from hitting three hundred.
Oh? And you would honor this old king by asking his advice. Well bring it. Maro spoke, smirking all the while.
One is a sphere of perception around me. One increases my reflexes and perception passively and the last one lets me use my healing offensively as well as changing a mana intrusion attack I have, giving it a mana drain on hit. She quickly explained what her three Azarinth skills did without going into their second stages.
Maro seemed to actually give it some thought. She had expected him to immediately shoot an answer, likely some kind of joke. She knew based on their previous talks that he was serious quite often but looking at his face and constant smirk, it was hard to believe those memories were real at all.
I think all those skills sound good. You wont know what the third tier does until you get it. Maybe you could wait a little longer? Its not been long since you hit three hundred I assume. Get used to all the changes and then make a decision? He suggested.
Ilea wasnt a fan, And then get used to even more changes? No. Look I dont intend to stay at three hundred. Soon all of them will be in the third tier anyway. Its just a matter of choosing best ones for now, this very moment.
He looked at her and spoke, Well then it just comes down to what you need. Survivability? Damage? Speed? Maneuverability? Detection? Can your reflexes keep up with all the other gains you have gotten? No? Take that one. Any reason your sphere isnt up to the task anymore? Take that. Need a boost to your healing and the mana intrusion attack, take that one. If youre not in need of anything specific, take the one you use the most.
I dont think Im in need of anything. Ilea said, I use my sphere constantly, as well as my healing and the mana intrusion.
Well you have eyes still, as well as your other senses. I dont think reliance on anything like that should come first. There are spells and enchantments that can make perception skills like your a terrible experience. Trust me, happened to me once. He said. If the choice is between that and a boost to your healing and mana intrusion, Id take the latter.
Ilea nodded, Reasonable points. Or a necromancer trying to deceive me right before he takes over the world.
Or that. True. He said. What about your second class?
Defensive skill boosting my body passively as well as speed and perception, mana intrusion skill well not purely anymore and lastly an area attack that targets a sphere around me.
Maro didnt pause for as long this time, In that case, can you use both mana intrusion spells at the same time? a nod, Then for me at least it would be clear. If youre not in need of anything else then take the two skills possibly boosting your mana intrusion. Youll get the combined boost of both.
Hey that actually makes sense. Why not. Ill get two more again at three ten anyway. Ilea said and used the points on the respective skills.
ding Azarinth Reversal reaches 3rd lvl 1
Passive: Azarinth Reversal lvl 3rd lvl 1:
You have learned of Absolute Destruction and Sentinel Reconstruction. Now you will learn of their Reversal.
Upon activation, Absolute Destruction will send a part of the struck enemys mana into yourself. No mana will be released on impact, rendering Absolute Destructions offensive potential to zero.
Upon activation, Sentinel Reconstruction will send a destructive force of channeled mana into yourself or an enemy you touch, the healing aspects are reduced to zero.
2nd stage: You may have both the original and reversed aspects activated at the same time.
3rd stage: Healing, power, resilience and speed. An Azarinth Healer requires balance. Your respective Destruction and Reconstruction spells have their potency increased by a static 25% of your lowest stat. [100%]
Category: Body Enhancement
So I should invest in Endurance is what youre telling me. Ilea looked at her ten stat points remaining and put them into Wisdom. Getting more mana she could use for anything would be the most beneficial at the moment. Especially now that she felt both her defense and offense were covered. For a while at least.
ding Storm of Cinders reaches 3rd lvl 1
Active: Storm of Cinders 3rd lvl 1
Burn the inside of whatever your body hits with a surge of heat and embers or release the attack in a burst of fire and cinders.
2nd stage: The flame burns on. Targets hit will have fire burning through or on them. Time and consecutive attacks will increase the effect.
3rd stage: Storm of Cinders burns away all that stands against it, damaging mana intrusion capabilities of defensive enchantments, natural as well as manufactured armor.
Category: Ashen magic
Not bad. She commented.
What did you get? Maro asked, having watched her throughout the whole process.
Ilea smiled, Im not telling. One was really good though.
Youre no fun.
Says the guy stuck in his bloody necromancer machine, forcing me to take care of his undead. She said, cracking her neck.
Nobody is forcing you Ilea. I would understand anybody unwilling to face creatures two hundred levels higher than themselves. I simply know you well enough by now to know that you welcome such a challenge.
Wouldnt you? She asked, the king giving her a somewhat complicated expression. Oh dont disappoint me now? With all the stories of your reckless adventures?
With a team of experts and friends. Prepared and knowledgeable about the foes. I dont intend to lose limbs Ilea, even if I could recover in mere days. I know youre powerful but dont overestimate yourself just because you can avoid getting hit.
Ilea walked a little closer and stared into his eyes, Last week , she started but stopped. The part of her that was suspicious reminded her that sharing something like her loss of head wasnt in her best interest. I can take care of myself, king. She simply said and blinked out of the room.
Ilea decided to lure the knights out into the courtyard of the palace, as few of them as possible. Some patrolled or stood in twos, making it nearly impossible to face them one on one. The two kingsguard patrolling the halls upstairs were the first she targeted. One carrying two short broad swords, guards on his hands. The other one had a nasty halberd. Creating a tiny nail of ash, she sent it flying at the swordsman.
Right before it hit, the knight vanished, appearing instead a couple meters in front of her. She saw a pulse of mana in her sphere before his movements suddenly sped up, Ilea blinking back to avoid the attack. Somethings fucky. The other knight had of course turned as well, looking at her before the halberd was swung downwards. Ileas eyes widened at the storm of magic coming her way, noticeable by the destroyed tiles and ceiling even before it had reached her spheres range.
Blink used up, she braced herself as the full force of the attack hit her. Not just her but the swords knight too, both of them flung out through the newly created entrance. Her armor had held up, the damage quickly taken care of. Her actual body was fine, she noted. As was the knights apparently, the man getting up a couple meters next to her. Blinking next to him, she punched towards his head. He suddenly lit up in her sphere and rolled away, faster than he had moved before. Rushing after him, she punched again. This time she was met with a counterattack, blades moving towards her neck. Ilea ducked but the blades suddenly sped up, too quickly to blink as they crashed into her ashen helmet.
Two shallow wounds had formed on her cheeks as she jumped back. I see. This time he rushed at her and she simply focused on his torso, her chest heating up in the meantime. Ashen limbs rushed out to his sides when he reached her, Ileas fist going for his stomach. She ignored the blades moving in piercing motions towards her heart and belly. The knight was apparently confident enough to take the trade, Ilea moving her body slightly as the blades cut into her veil, more shallow wounds added. Her own fist landed, all her mana intrusion skills rushing into him before her ashen limbs closed around his back.
The knight removed his blades with movements far quicker than she could react, vanishing a split second later. She watched as another wave of force came her way, a cone of energy ripping open the ground. Ilea simply let it wash over her, bracing against it as she was pushed a couple meters back. Weaker the further away I am. Deal with the time mage first.
At least they didnt work together especially well, the halberd user moving slowly and attacking from a range while the swordsman constantly pestered her. The fact that she could defend against his attacks, easily healing whatever damage he got in made the fight simple. Whenever the halberd user attacked, she actually had an opportunity to meditate. That was, if he wasnt too close to her. She could tell the damage would be a hassle to deal with should she get hit from a couple meters away instead of the twenty so far.
Ashen limbs allowed her to force the time mage warrior to trade blows with her instead of dodging her attacks before he slashed her. When her Heart of Cinder created a heat capable of damaging her body from within, Ilea waited for the next Halberd attack. Seeing the time warrior teleport away, she found the disturbance in her sphere where he would appear and blinked. Ilea released her Heart of Cinder, the knight accelerating his movements but unable to escape the expanding sphere. The blast sent him tumbling, Ilea close behind before she grappled him.
The two crashed down as she started charging up her Absolute Destruction, unmoving as he hacked into her armor with one sword. Each strike was accelerated, hitting the same spot again and again. He was going for her heart, digging a centimeter deeper with each hit. A wave of force was on its way when Ileas fist smashed into his helmet, through it and through his rotten skull. A ding resounded in her mind before she blinked away, avoiding the blast.

Arkeus
Probably a comment to the wrong story.
Deinos
Oops wrong story :D
tibbish
I think that guy was under lvl300, like 280 something. He was a gold magic mage or some such though and got stronger based on the amount of gold he had in his possession and it was hinted at that he has a TON(S) of gold with him so he'd probably be a tough fight despite his lower level. He also seemed more administrative in his role when he killed Eve but clearly had a past as a dungeoneer. It was more of a personal thing for him to kill Eve remember since she killed a member of his old team. Michael pops up earlier briefly I think but the details I'm talking about pop up in chapter 155 near the middle and end. Re-reading it again it looks like the gold has to be near him not just in his possession for it to be an advantage to him.
Jonathan
People have been thinking of further challenges for Ilea, and I have an idea. I think we (though not Ilea) have met a 500+ level sentient, Michael, the man who killed Eve. I postulate that he is the Golden Lily's enforcer, the man the organization uses to scare those who might harbor unruly or traitorous thoughts or end them should they choose to act on such anyway.
He was a King before level 300, which probably gave him a related evolution for one of his classes.
Backfire
There are some additional hidden requirements in order to rank up some skills, such as Destruction or Ash and Ember Creation in earlier chapters if I remember correctly
Kevin Mendoza
Did I miss it wasn’t Sentinel Core a level 2 20 skill, I wonder why it was not mentioned as a choice for a third tier skill level up? I reread chapter 300
Jonathan
She stands near a small patch of mist with her armor on, enjoying the lack of progress the miststalkers make on her after the new upgrades and allowing the status of being in combat charge up her Aspect of Ash to the full 150% bonus. As the last thirty seconds arrive, she begins charging Absolute Destruction and Heart of Cinder. When the ten-minute mark arrives, she has put the full 3000% into AD and the heat is beginning to effect her health. She blinks into the mist and strikes a miststalker with the charged AD, the release of the extra 150% and the blast of HoC, the latter also impacting the other miststalkers around her.
rkdesc
That just seems absurdly overpowered
rkdesc
Originally the second tier let her spend up to 20 mana with every hit of destruction. Now it lets her spend up to 100 mana for every hit. This is important because the more mana she can use in each hit, the higher the damage. No charge time on that. The charge up thing is an add-on that lets her specifically charge up one strike for up to 30 seconds to massively increase the damage.
sharkattack
She should try a semi-charged Absolute Destruction -> fully-charged Heart of Cinder explosion combo for speed kills.
Jonathan
In case anyone is interested, I played around with the numbers for Azarinth Awakening and Aspect of Ash (including the added .5%[3.5%] for today's upgrade). Incidentally, since the third tier makes them cost nothing, Ilea could keep them active at all times if she chose. Vitality: 686 (6860 Health) Endurance: 400 (4000 Stamina) Strength: 510 Dexterity: 415 Intelligence: 620 Wisdom: 715 (7150 Mana) Unspent: 0 With Auras active: Vitality: 686 (6860 Health) Endurance: 400 Strength: 5258.1 Dexterity: 2099.9 Intelligence: 6392.2 Wisdom: 715 (7150 Mana) Resilience and Speed also multiplied *10.31. After 10 minutes in battle: Vitality: 686 (6860 Health) Endurance: 400 Strength: 6023.1 Dexterity: 2307.4 Intelligence: 7322.2 Wisdom: 715 (7150 Mana) Resilience and Speed also multiplied *11.81.
Atlas Dwarf
I'd imagine it is just adding 100% to the Healing boost towards those Skills. If not, well then it just doubled those Skills power. I'd imagine the enchantments to protect against mana intrusion in Praetorians would count towards it.
tibbish
Yeah grappling should be real effective for her as a defensive/offensive combo since she can just use her tentacles and tie up their arms/legs so they can't hurt her in turn while she messes them up. My guess is she prefers a fisth fight instead tho
tibbish
Yeah I kinda hope she just cheezes them and gets a bunch of lvl500+ kills to level fast. Same thing with the Miststalkers. Those things just don't fight fair and are swarm/horde fighters that also run away when they actually start to get hurt too. So seeing them get crushed in a cheezy way is fine and good to me.
ArturScott
[Destruction] becomes [Absolute Destruction] "Active: Absolute Destruction – 3rd lvl 9: 1 stage: ... 2nd stage: ... ... ... . You may charge each strike whilst unmoving with 100 mana per second to a maximum of 3000 mana." Who understand how this part is working? She can stop for 1 sec charge it like to max next time she hit someone it's dead, or how it works i just can't figuring it out. Meaby autor or somebody who understands how it works, pls help!
Jonathan
"Your respective Destruction and Reconstruction spells have their potency increased by a static 25% of your lowest stat.[100%]" Does that mean that the 'forward' and 'reverse' versions of the spell both get a 100% boost? That is, instead of being +200% for being healing, Absolute Destruction and Sentinel Reconstruction are now currently +300% because of this third tier? " Soon all of them will be in the third tier anyway. It’s just a matter of choosing best ones for now, this very moment.” Eh, maybe. She's still overlooking the fact that now she's chosen her sixth third tier skill in each class, she only has four in each class at the end of the second tier. I see three possibilities for using any further third tier points. One, the system gives a pass if all remaining active (not meaning active vs. passive) skills are at the end of the second tier or in the third. Two, she'll have to level a third tier skill to level 20 before she can use the next point -- it just needs five skills at the end of *a* tier, not necessarily the second. Three, she'll have to play skill-swap and level other skills to the end of the second tier and swap in the skills she wants to keep when she's done. The last could be pretty difficult with Azarinth since it doesn't have many skipped skills. I can only think of mana sight off the top of my head. Will the Taleen Praetorians' mana intrusion resistance count as 'gear'? It's kind of intrinsic to the way they were built/created.
Slicedtoad
Cliffhanger? There isn't much suspense involved given that she already killed one of the two knights easily.
Alan McBrayer
Well in his mind he just lost he self made kingdom/gilded cage then his wife hates him and he is stuck alone in another cage of his own making having his life force drained by his former kingsguard and son. He is putting forth a jovial front, but he is gonna be kinda off for a long while.
Ato
on the topic of armor, I really like the idea of ilea making armor out of all the op shit she kills and I assume that her magic works based on a memory kinda deal, it restores her, it's a bit of weird topic because you don't consider you yourself anymore just because you cells die and regenerate over the years, do you? so why would a faster process of that be any different
Ato
something just doesn't feel right about Maro, dunno, it's good that Ilea is suspicious of him at the very least
DarianAmell
Well the miststalker just train 1 resistance now (Mist) and not 3 like before. But she will probably try to kill them with her hearth of cinder by doing the teleport/Explosion trick (Megumin would be proud^^)
Jymbo
Really nice cliffhanger. Thanks for the chapters
Jymbo
I really hope this will not become one of the endless "underestimated op mc humbles everyone with his/her awesome strenght, stories"
Seb
AFAIK, you need to be the sufficient level on patron to read them. They don't post them on RR or anything
Atlas Dwarf
Thanks for the chapter. It's good to see that the Kingsguard aren't just amped up Knights like the ones in the dark are. She might even get new Resistances or Resistance levels out of it. I wonder if she's going to stick to the routine of Miststalkers at night.
Alexander Belousov
Yeah... The "Yoric, I knew him well moment". The catch is, You are looking at your own face... I would get the heebie jeebies from it.
Blaublue
Thanks for the chapters. Was really awesome to further see the boons from her new classes; they're super strong. Glad her massive improvement to Resilience is being shown not just through numbers, but it can definitely be felt as well reading it. Her 3rd tier Storm of Cinder feels slightly awkward though; only effective against armor, and aside from the Undead in the current dungeon, and perhaps Taleen, most of the enemies she's typically fighting doesn't exactly wear armor (Ilea has definitely killed more beasts and things without armor than those with), but it will probably be very useful against those that do. Ilea is going to need a master leatherworker if she ever wants to properly wear armor again, since it would have to be very high-class and likely also self-repairing to consider wearing: Ilea slaying a rare, powerful ??? beast, and getting 5x self-repairing leather-armors made, using one while the others repair, could be an idea for the future (or just one really strong leather-armor that uses the blood of its enemies to repair itself) Cool to see Ilea address the head-question; though if she went too far down that rabbit hole, she may also have had to consider if having half her head blown off and healing from that (or from mush as she did with the Blue Reapers), wouldn't also change her in some way. I subscribe to the: It's magic, and Ilea is still the same Ilea Glad you had Ilea decide to stay in the North for a while longer; there is indeed still many foes to kill.
Treim
No, one is about Cless (the other girl from Earth) and the other about Felicia and the Redleaf group
Arcanes
Kingsguard check. Loved how she is stronger but they are still dangerous opponents. Quick question - can she charge absolute destruction and then move while holding the attack at the ready? Because I’m not sure from the wording of the skill and Ilea’s way of using it. The Kingsguard seem to be worthy opponents to fight cleanly, but the soul rippers are weird and just creepy. I hope Ilea will just blast them straight away with her most powerful shot.
rkdesc
I get the feeling that if he is actually intending to "be stupid enough to" attack Ilea after she frees him, it would only be plausible if he thinks he has some kind of trump card that can beat her
Wonder what terok and the elves thought of all the explosions going on
rkdesc
Probably, though thinking of it as veil while still learning the changes seems plausible to me. Also, there's some ambiguity between the ash armor and the actual armor she's wearing that you don't have to deal with if you call it her veil.
Jachin Nelson
My guess is the third tiers skill points for 350 for at least a little while will be able to go into general skills.
Arkeus
Yeaaah, Maro is super suspicious. Feels like something is funky where he 'moves' all suspicion/dislikes about it toward Elena or something. And it's not quite working.
Han Pol
Good third tier skills, in my option both seem quite strong. specally the heart of cinder. But the balanced Sentinel seems also pretty good. And if she ever gets a boost to endurance or agility it might turn out to be a good passive bonus.
Keifru
Oh gods yes, confirmation she's a [Healer] again. Now she just needs to stroll back to 'train' with the Lightning Waitress and get mixed up with some schmucks of the Forkspears who don't [Identify] her. After one less Forkspear mansion existing, we can run into Alice to see how she's doing too
Matthias
"Ilea moving her body slightly as the blades cut into her veil" shouldn't it be armor?
Corwin Amber
thanks for the chapters
fuble878
Does everyone eventually get to read the side stories without being a patreon... Because while I think its fine to get access to them through patreon it would suck if you could never read them otherwise.
Thaabit Rivertree
Lovely chapter. I also enjoyed how she dealt with the head. It does make her seem more human. It's also a good reminder that it only takes an instant, a single unexpected event or mistake for her to lose a great deal, if not her life. Im guessing one of Maro's classes gives a charm benefit.
Corwin Amber
'attention sine you woke up' sine -> since
Alexander Dupree
Cool thanks for the update. I like these new power ups. She's balls to the wall powerful.
Jonathan Walker
Holy hell she is stupid strong, she just fought 2 kings guard and took one out completely this is fucking awesome
Tommy Littlefield
Well she’s obviously gonna clear this place before going back to normal human kingdom (probably at least) and there are plenty of level 500+ enemies here so I bet she can get to like 330 or higher and might have all her skills at the third tier (though that would take getting to 340 and idk if she will get that high before this place is cleared) Though I do wonder what use the extra 3rd their points are other then replacing a skill that’s already third tier with a new one she might unlock but even then I doubt someone would replace 5 whole skills but if you had one that’s pure utility and not used in fighting I guess you could level it up and swap it in when you need it out of combat then swap it back out to the other skill when not using it (idk if that’s possible but I think it is)
Tommy Littlefield
Same it looked like the body enhancement bonus from her ash class didn’t apply for some reason
Tommy Littlefield
I mean there are a lot of these things (like a whole royal capitals guard and knights worth of people reanimated) so it will still probably take a few months
I really like how losing her head is something that is leaving psychological marks on her, makes her much more real. Even though i would have liked shenanigans like throwing her head at people
Arkeus
Mmh, shouldn't it be 150% for Azarinth Reversal? Or is it capped at 100% for mechanic reasons?
AkisP
Thanks for the chapter, I noticed some new side stories are up is one of them about the girl that Ilea gave the intro book to her class?
Davvy chappie
Thanks love this story
Woot, guessed that she would be a healer again. That’s going to cause some lovely confusion. I really like how the knights are the same level, but the better gear and magic skills represents a much more difficult fight. Still at this rate she should finish this dungeon in a few days to weeks.
G. Harthane
Most are. Necromancer I introduced back in chapter 20 or so. That's why I kept it and it's still around. Some others like Ranger / Rogue are a thing too.
Gardor
I'd think Ilea would be more into grappling, since she could just grab the dudes back and channel damage into him. Or wrap a tentacle around an ankle. Also wondering if avatar of Ash will let her turn her body into Ash, maybe letting her heal even faster if the two skills synergize.
Tommy Littlefield
Why does the kings tag read necromancer? shouldn’t it just be mage? I thought all tags were super generalized
