kuraitja This Chapter has 3rd pov again, I really don't know which Pov is better, I read a lot of stories, and I like both, so what do you think, Please answer the Poll if you want to see more 3rd pov or 1st pov, or both. I also released it a little early, since I want to know the poll answer, which makes the next chapter take longer since I will wait a couple of days on the Poll answer to write the next chapter, Interludes will still be 1st Pov since I want that to be a perspective of a native.
Chapter 34
Kali is standing in front of the {Black Fog}, she is preparing to enter it, but firsts needs to take her water. She opened her mouth, with her tongue stretched out, really showing off the length of her tongue, and tilted her head up. She summoned water from her [Space Pocket] above her mouth letting it drop on her mouth and outstretched tongue. It feels very refreshing.
| You have consumed [Waters of Lyr] For the next day, {Miasma} cannot corrupt you. |
'Oh, this is interesting' were Kali's thoughts when she saw the message since all the girls had bathed in it, which also made them drink it a little, but this is the first time she gained a message from it. 'Maybe I need to use it with the Effect in mind, and that makes the message pop up,', which makes sense, since it would be annoying to get a message every time you drink a little in the bath.
'Let's Go!' Kali walked into the {Black Fog} to explore and feel what it is like, but she got disappointed when it only got darker. Her [Primal Instinct] were a screaming at her to move away from it before she took the [Waters of Lyr], but the moment she to took it, it stopped, which also made her feel more confident about walking in the {Black Fog}.
Kali was running through the forest at a normal pace so she can react fast enough if anything pops up. Which was smart to do, since it only took 20 minutes for something to show itself. An Orc group, of about 40 were walking towards the East, the direction she came from.
Kali wanted to test something out for a while but never had a big enough group together to do so. She took both her knives out and ran at them using [Dash] and [Mystery Movement] to make herself appear in the middle of the group. [Dance of True Cuts] was used the moment she reached the center, cutting the throat of all the Orcs within 3 meters of her. Kali danced around them slashing at weak points while using [Will Reinforcement], it was like a hot knife cutting butter.
| You reached Level 30! Gained 5 attribute points! [Hunter] Leveled up to Level 30! |
| [Dance of True Cuts] reached Level 2! |
Blood was everywhere, but Kali was clean, not a drop fell on her, she danced around the Orcs with this in mind. There were severed limps everywhere and decapitated heads, 3 of which have a helmet on, but it could not save them. [Will Reinforcement] is much stronger than Kali Imagined. 42 Orcs died in 10 seconds, but It did take a lot of her Stamina to do so, and damaged her knifes.
The moment the Battle ended and Kali gained the new Skill, she noticed the difference. She saw everything much clearer than before, the difference feels like the change between 1080p to 4k, it is amazing. She could she Carnage she has inflicted here even better,'It is Beautiful'.
Kali looked the Orcs over for any Loot, but most is useless to her, except a Dagger. It is very sharp and made from a strong metal, but sadly the blade is too wide, so not suitable for her use, which is speed. She did notice that it is an Artifact, so maybe Annika can use it somehow.
After she was done with checking the Orcs for loot, she ran to the West again, and stopped after 10 minutes in a tree, to hide herself when she is looking these new skills over.
| (Uncommon) Eagle Eyes level 1 (Passive) |
|---|
| Your eyes are as good as an Eagle. Increases Vision Range by 100% |
| (Uncommon) Perception level 1 (Passive) |
|---|
| You are Perceptive, which will help in all matter of things. Increases Reaction speed by 10% |
Both are Skill that Increases her perception in one way or another, which is something that is very useful, especially in hostile territory like this. They both are actually something she wanted for a while, which makes her think about her previous thought, that the System gives Skill that you want or need, since this keeps happening.
Both Skill are also passive so they will increase in power over time, their effects are also amazing, just the clarity is worth it, since she noticed that she feels much better, and is thinking much clearer.
'But the best part is the Vision Clarity, it increases my Focus too, and makes everything much more beautiful,'
Kali looked around, testing different things, and when she was done, she jumped down onto the ground, and started running West again. After a short while she increased her speed, since she noticed that her reaction speed made it safer to go faster, since she can react faster.
1 hour later
Kali was surrounded by dead orcs again, this was the 3rd group she found and also the largest, the further west she goes the bigger the groups,' So their camp is most likely in the west, just like the Humans,' which does not bode well for her. If the camp is between her and the Humans it will take a while for her to reach the Humans.
After the 3rd group she reached level 33, and her skills gained a nice increase too. sadly she noticed that she does not gain much more from the Orcs anymore, most of them are around level 16-22, and she just reached level 33.
| [Dance of True Cuts] reached Level 3! |
It also took 2 pairs of knifes from her, since the [Will Reinforcement] makes them sharper, which she wanted, but also are made from bone, so too brittle to slash through metal without losing durability. Good thing she brought extra, but with the next group, Kali will just use arrows.
Kali also noticed something else that interested her, [Short Knifes] and [Dancing] are almost level 10, but she is missing something, which she needs to evolve them to something she wants.
She moved again after checking the Orcs for anything, they had nothing of interest. Kali jumped in a tree after a short run, then sat down. She was low on Stamina, which was not smart.
'I need to control my Bloodlust more,' It has become a problem, since the last battle was too risky. If she was discovered by another group, which has a Tier 2 or something fast after she ran low on Stamina, she could have been captured or killed. That was an unneeded risk.
Using [Camouflage], Kali hid herself in a tree, and was about to try something that she wanted to test. She made herself fall into a [Trance], while still Camouflaged.
| [Trance] reached Level 4! |
It took her 3 hours to regain her Stamina this time, which is much slower than normal, but this was with [Camouflage] active, training both of them at the same time, she is literally getting stronger in her sleep now, which made Kali laugh inside her mind with glee.
Since Kali was in top form again, she dropped onto the grass and ran to the West again, which became a routine at this point for her. She wanted to gain as much ground as she can to reach the Humans, and also to scout out the Orc camp that was most likely in the same direction.
| [Forest Patrol] reached Level 6! |
While running, she had an idea to scout for special spots, since she also wanted to gather some materials. She climbed a tree, all the way to the top. When she reached it, she looked around, and could see very far, [Eagle Eyes] really showing its worth here.
It looked like a sea of tree's, it would look beautiful, if it was not ruined by the {Black Fog} that makes everything dark, and Kali could not see very far either, even with [Eagle Eyes], since the fog makes it harder the farther she wants to see. But she can see some things, to the west, the {Black Fog} is much thicker, which also made Kali feel that the Orc camp is indeed in that direction, and a little to the south there is a tree that looks different from the other trees, So she wanted to go there first to see if it can be used for a new bow, or a weapon for Nina.
Jumping down from the tree again, she ran to the direction of the tree she saw.
