Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 301: The Tenets Of Morte Bianca (II): New Skills

The sounds of the sea hitting the shores of Dragon Island was soothing, for some reason, to Rezar this was the place where he could be the closest to the wind and the water. Of course at the moment he had more than three dozen guard detail stationed around the island, but there was no greater deterrent for his safety than the dragon that was currently having a conversation with Gynaika. Lenore was trying her best to follow, but obviously the more delicate aspect of politics and womanhood was completely lost to her as a vampire and dragon discussed about their monthly periods and how being undead was the best thing to have ever happened to them.

Rezar felt it was gross, which was he focused on his [13 pulse of the dragon] technique. He felt that he would hit a new stride with the technique today, and once that happens there would probably be a change in his ability to control wind and water. At the moment his control over those elements were somewhat limited, and apart from that it was about time he bought a couple of new abilities, cause frankly speaking he needed to improve his arsenal.

What he had were mostly passive skills, a new one for each of his skill trees should do wonders. That also and the stat increase he was sure to get after every session of the [13 pulse of the dragon] is completed. At this rate it would take him roughly another month to get to silver rank III. Though only god knows what it's going to take for a vampire to advance to gold rank or as it was otherwise known the Sky Lord realm.

Even though everyone had devolved into using the ore ranks, when the system first changed during the rejuvenation, it introduced the ranks in a different manner. Now it was only made mention as an official title. Rather than address a person based on their rank, like per say calling Lenore 'silver rank III Lenore' it would instead address her as 'Earth General Lenore'. It was only until recently, around a week or two ago that the system started officially using the ranking system it gave, completely dropping the ore denotations.

Even on his own stat page, Rezar had noticed the change. While it wasn't bad, it would take some time for the people to get used to nit, with some stubbornly just sticking to the ore denotations. But nothing changed, the ranks just got a more fanciful name. if Rezar had to hazard a guess, he would say this was a sort of mini update to reality, the system was still acclimating to the change and seeing how the people reacted and adapted to it; before coming up with better options. Now the ranks have been changed.

BRONZE RANK => MORTAL SOLDIER

SILVER RANK => EARTH GENERAL

GOLD RANK => SKY LORD

PLATINUM RANK => STAR KING

DIAMOND RANK => SPACE EMPEROR

It was a lot to pay attention too, but even then it wasn't too bad. The system was faulty in a lot of things, so maybe this was its way of correcting some of them. for example, every new rank achieved you were supposed to get a new trait. But Rezar only had the trait given to him from back when he became bronze ranked, and the ones that came along with him being a king and a vampire. Or basically awarded due to his achievements in the old world. He was almost at the peak of the silver rank, yet he had no trait. It was weird, and It seemed as if the system was rigged against him, but he was still getting stronger so it was no sweat off his back.

But be that as it may. He had other things he had to take care of now, and that was mainly the purchase of new skills for his skill trees. The thing every skill chosen could not be changed, they could be evolved and improved upon, grown to great lengths but ultimately it was all permanent and the amount of skills he could gain from a particular skill tree was limited.

He could only get five skills from a skill tree, and frankly speaking he would only be able to have five skill trees for all of his life. The only hope he had was for his still unawakened bloodline, and he had a suspicion what that bloodline might actually be. But now was not the time for speculation, now was the time for the choosing of new skills, so it was about time he got down to it.

This was all kinds of wrong, looking at the list of prices put down, Rezar could only come to one sudden decision. And that was the fact that all of the skills were looking a lot cheaper than the last time he had to look through them. some seem to be missing from his last foray into the skill shop for new skills. Never the less it seems their prices were cheaper and more stabled than before, making some really good skills affordable and available.

He still had two slots in his vampire skill tree, two in his necromancy skill tree, one in his magic skill tree, and three in his dragon's arte skill tree. His arms master skill tree would update a final skill for the next weapon he decided to focus on, of course he could still but those skills from the skill shop, but at the moment he had no need and no use for a new weapon's skill.

So as it stands he now has to make his choice from what was available, since the last time he checked his stat page his skill points have grown, and at the moment he had 368 skill points to spend on the really good skills he could see here, and then maybe come back for more later on. But first things first, of all the skills his vampire part afforded him, he was going to take Teleportation. This was a skill he has wanted for a long time, and the combination of teleportation and bullet time would make for a couple of instant kill scenarios and situations.

He would be left with one slot that he could either fill now, or wait until he gets to gold rank or rather the Sky lord rank to see if there would be any other addition to the list. The darkness element skill was tempting, but one thing at a time. He still had time to narrow his decisions and come back for it later. His next choice would be for his necromancy skill tree, and his choice was a bit hard, but since he couldn't get it from his vampire skill tree, there was nothing wrong with getting another element mastery. So the soul element mastery was the choice he made there.

Now magic had one slot left, more often than not it was responsible for most of Rezar's attacks as the bulk of his attacking skills came from it. All of his skills were mostly passives that at the moment weren't high leveled enough to show how powerful they could be, but with it being his final slot Rezar was apprehensive about making any choice, so he chose to pass on it and wait. Once the sky lord rank comes around, hopeful there would be a better surprise.

And now it was to his dragon arte skill. These were skills that would be available to all those who were also training in this method. Rezar got the feeling that there were thirteen skills in all, exclusive of the elemental mastery skills that were sure to be unlocked. Though he got the feeling those elements would be mostly wind and water due to the kind of dragon the skill came from.

Never the less his choice was a bit hard, he wasn't so finessed about magic that he would choose rune mastery. He has seen how runes work and he knew it was more of an intellectual path and nor for him. Dragon scales improved defense, to severe amount, however he could heal from anything and he has gotten so used to pain he was probably supposed to have a pain resistance skill tree by now. There wasn't much to be gained from that skill when he had a body that was practically immortal.

Aura was great, really good, but there was something even better, and that was dragon soul. It was a skill that connected him with the spirits of an ancient dragon, making them become one in battle, boosting all of his abilities to an insane level. He took that and then chose to augment it with the dragon roar skill, making it so that he had another avenue to attack. And with that choice that was all he needed. At least for now. All that was left was to see just how good they can be on the battlefield.
