394 Terrifying Improvements
“Please give me a ‘Hidden Speciality’!” Dilan said out loud as he munched on the petals of the Miraculous Flower of Opportunity.
Eating the flower felt a bit weird but Dilan had no idea how to devour the Miraculous Flower of Opportunity otherwise.
In the end, he was ready to make some sacrifices to become stronger, whether that meant to keep pushing himself to the limits, or to kill numerous monsters. Eating a flower was definitely in comparison.
Taking a deep breath after he swallowed the flower, Dilan was ready to feel its effectiveness.
However, nothing happened for more than half an hour, which ended up frustrating Dilan quite a bit.
Only the tremendous energy that circulated through his body prevented him from thinking that something was wrong. He took a few deep breaths and accepted the power regardless of what it would happen.
Time passed quickly and his body had rapidly digested the energy. He felt a few changes happening to his body and the system notification he received was more than enough of an answer for him to understand what exactly was going on.
[The Miraculous Flower of Opportunity has been devoured and digested. The host’s Stamina stat has been randomly chosen and augmented by 150 Units.]
[Because the host’s Stamina could only be enhanced by 100 Units, the remaining 50 Units will be distributed on the host’s other stats!]
[Digesting the potent energy of the Miraculous Flower of Opportunity has unleashed the host’s hidden potential. The host’s aptitude toward Green Magic was discovered. Study and comprehend Green Magic to use it wisely!]
[The host’s Stamina reached the status capacity of a Tier-2 existence. Congratulations!]
Dilan was bombarded with messages and he could only smile weirdly while reading all of them. While others had only advanced to Tier-2 some time ago, Dilan’s raw stats were already close to reaching the status cap of normal Tier-2 existences.
He was still at Level 0, but his stats were already extremely high even if one were to ignore his Health stat.
But even after he had devoured and digested the Miraculous Flower of Opportunity, Dilan was not yet done enhancing his stats.
There were still dozens of Tier-2 Blood Essences in his possession and roughly a dozen Tier-4 Essence crystals for him to absorb.
His stats were bound to increase and the same could be said about his level.
Dilan didn’t hesitate to use every means to achieve his goals.
[A dozen higher-tiered Essence crystals and 76 Tier-2 Blood Essences were detected and absorbed by the host→+50.5 Strength, +48.1 Health, +62 Agility, +56.9 Mana]
[Essence pool has been filled. Host reached Level 1(Tier-2)! +1.0 Status points can be allocated!]
[Essence pool has been filled. Host reached Level 2(Tier-2)! +1.0 Status points can be allocated!]
….
[Essence pool has been filled. Host reached Level 9(Tier-2)! +1.0 Status points can be allocated!]
…
[Essence pool has been filled. Host reached Level 19(Tier-2)! +1.0 Status points can be allocated!]
Even though Dilan required 20x the amount of Essences and ten times more status points than others to improve, the potency of Tier-4 Essences was as tremendous as he had predicted.
He had been certain that he would easily reach level 20 and that his stats would increase in the hundreds by absorbing the Tier-4 Essence crystals because he had killed all those monsters by himself.
As a Tier-1 existence, he had killed more than a dozen Tier-4 existences. Their Essence was evidently purer than any kind of other essence Dilan had ever absorbed, and his body was not accustomed to it.
Even after advancing to Tier-2, he was still far from reaching Tier-4, and as Dilan had already found out a long time ago, the wider the gap of strength, the higher the disparity in the Essence’s effect upon being absorbed!
Obtaining a little more than 200 Status points and a total of 20 Level ups from absorbing a handful of Tier-4 Essence crystals and dozens of Tier-2 Blood Essences was not really surprising.
Dilan had actually hoped to receive more status points because he wanted to reach Tier-3 as quickly as possible. With his condition, it would be a waste of time to kill millions of the same type of monster just for the sake of leveling up.
He wanted to improve his stats to reach their maximum capacity before killing new types of monsters in order to gain more Essence from their Essence crystals.
With his stats, it was not difficult to kill monsters of a higher Tier. Right now, his stats already rivaled that of a Tier-3 existence.
Not a single stat of his was below 150 Units or even close to that anymore. Because of that, Dilan felt extremely invigorated and overly powerful.
This was only obvious, but Dilan felt that he didn’t have enough yet. He accessed his Log of the Ancient and used his unallocated status points for the first time in a while.
Dilan allocated 25 out of the 30 unallocated status points he had accumulated by now to his Agility which reached 220 Units in the process.
[The host’s Agility reached the status capacity of a Tier-2 existence. Congratulations!]
Possessing two maxed-out Stats shortly after advancing to Tier-2 was exceptional, but Dilan just nodded his head.
He was a bit satisfied, just to turn serious as he made various calculations in his mind.
“After conquering the Blood Monarch’s Sanctum, I should have already reached a level to be considered far more powerful than before. With my enhanced physique and strength, the Temple of Scorpio shouldn’t be able to oppose me anymore afterward. That’s good then!” Dilan mumbled, recalling the two places he had wanted to visit and possibly conquer after returning from his advancement mission.
However, right now, his desire to destroy everything and everyone had changed a little. His stats were already extremely high from the get-go, but the moment he wore all the new pieces of equipment he had obtained, he was basically an existence at the peak of Tier-3!
And that was without the need to activate any abilities, let alone sacrifice his lifeforce to forcefully pump up his stats even further!
“Should I just conquer Milarn?” Dilan asked himself jokingly as he scratched the back of his head.
Until now, his goal had only been to survive and become stronger to protect his people. But that suddenly seemed a thing of the past.
The Undying group had to learn to fight for themselves and their groups had already separated on two bases. That being said, they shouldn’t rely on his strength to protect them anymore, either way. He couldn’t split his body to protect two places at the same time.
That was only obvious, and it was even more logical that Dilan wouldn’t always be at the base. In fact, Dilan was pretty sure that he would hardly stay in the Sanctum or Shiron because neither of these places was great for his growth.
It wouldn’t be harsh to think that the entirety of Milarn was not exactly a great place for him to become stronger. Dilan was fully aware of this but he was also sure that he could gain a lot on Milarn.
After all, the planet was quickly growing stronger and the Gates emerging everywhere could be used to receive maximum benefits.
And last but not least, there were still people on Milarn, whom Dilan held dearly and he was looking forward to meeting them.
Meanwhile, other people had to be taken care of in a completely different manner.
Their whole existence had to be eradicated!
