Chapter 38
Kali's Pov
When I exit the [Trance] I look around for any danger and found none, which made me sigh in relief,'That was too close, I almost died from 2 attacks,'.
I sit up and check my body, specifically at my shoulder, and see that it is healed, but I still feel a soreness there, so I am going to assume it is not healed all the way,'At least my back feels fine,'.
Now the messages that I stopped until I had time to read it.
| You reached Level 39! Gained 5 attribute points! [Hunter] Leveled up to Level 39! |
| [Camouflage] reached Level 9! [Stealth] reached Level 9! [Mind Arts] reached Level 19! ... [Mind Arts] reached Level 23! [Dash] reached Level 4! [Running] reached Level 7! [Poison Resistance] reached Level 7! [Trance] reached Level 5! |
| [Willpower] increased by 3! [Endurance] increased by 1! [Vitality] increased by 1! |
'Nice, but that almost got me killed, I need to take less risks like that,' I got greedy. I am also surprised at the [Poison Resistance] level increase. It makes me think that the javelin might have been poisoned, but it is most likely not a powerful poison, since I did not even notice it. To be extra careful, I swallowed another mouthful of [Waters of Lyr].
These windows do not show what I gained from the mage's mind, which is a lot of info about magic, but even then most is useless to me, since I am not a mage, but I did learn that the 3rd effect of a Magic Affinity is rare, because only those with high or above that can have that.
My 'Space Senses' which is my 3rd effect, I can train that, but the second effect, which is 'Space Control', can only be trained when I reach Tier 2, and it is impossible to train that at Tier 1,'Sadly I cannot tell that to Nina, since she is wasting her time trying that'.
At least that is so with normal Affinity's, the orc had no idea if a rare affinity also needs Tier 2, but it might be Tier 3 for Space since it is a Primordial Affinity, also something I learned from the Orc Mage.
The Elements that the Orc knew and the classification for them are Basic, Rare, and Primordial, these are all the Affinities, not just the Magic ones, since the Primordial Affinity does not need to be a Magic Affinity, you can also have a general Affinity for them. The Orc knew this from the records of his race, Life Affinity are those connected with Life in a big way, like certain Trees, and Death has been known to be the Affinity of powerful undead.
Basic are Water, Earth, Fire, Air.
Rare are Light, Dark, Wood, and Lightning.
Primordial are Life, Death, and Space.
These are the Elements that the Orc knew, but I already know one that he missed, which is Mind, and I believe Time is also one, but interesting enough the Orc has never heard about these Affinities, but then again, I did not take all his knowledge, since I did not have the time for it.
Last thing that I gained is experience with extracting knowledge using my [Mind Arts]. First thing is the 'cooldown' in a way, since I just gained a lot of extra knowledge in a quick manner, I need to rest my mind, and not do this again in at least a couple of days. Second thing is the way I can increase the extraction speed, and my mind resting speed, which is Intelligence, It should help me process knowledge faster,
But then again, I am not planning on using my Attribute points on that, I will just hope for a different way to increase it.
Now, I have rested enough, I take my ant poison, and stood up. They now know I am here, so keeping their patrols alive would not help me. The best thing I can do is just kill those groups, and train skills that way, since the camp is too dangerous, I will still need to be careful, since they might have ways to track me anyway, so I want more hideouts, since I can then change them every day.
I took some Healing Drops,'If I keep getting hurt like this I need to find a way to make health potions or something', if they have that here at least, [Forest Crafting] has several salves that help with healing, but nothing that heals immediately like Healing Drops.
After taking the healing drops my shoulder feels much better, and the soreness is gone, which I was hoping for, since I am planning on using my new bow, and the shoulder is important for that.
Exiting the hideout I go north, to the direction of the mountain, and use [Mystery Movement] to exit it, to make certain that no tracks lead to it or away from it, something I need to make a habit.
While running, I stop occasionally to get some herbs, my inner gamer coming out, since I could use it in the future, and it was on my path anyway.
It did not take long for me to find an Orc group to slaughter, of course I first check them over, since I am still hoping for one that can be cured, but I am still unlucky in that. All are tier 1 and uncurable.
I went back and took a long distance from them, until I was about 500 meters(546 yards) from them, I took my bow out and an arrow, I want to take this time to also train my Space Pocket with arrows, since they are so thin and light, it only takes a couple of Mana for each arrow, and I also want to try and sense the space that is being used by the Skill.
It is the farthest away from my target yet, but this is a test, since I know it can be even further, my experience tells me that, but I also want to be accurate, and that will be much harder at longer distances.
For my first shot I aimed at the one closest to me, and focus, another reason why I think I can take this shot is [Eagle Eyes], it increases my vision range by 100%, so I can still see them clearly, but I also know that this is my limit for now, but [Eagle Eyes] will become better.
'oh, it is even better than I thought,' The arrow flew over the Orc's head, which makes sense since I aimed there because I thought it would drop more, but that 127% arrow distance, plus the power increase and speed increase make the arrow travel almost like a laser, there still is an arrow drop, but it is almost nothing in the 500 meters, and it makes shooting them easier.
My second arrow did not miss, it hit an Orc in the neck, and I also got a kill message, which makes me think that the System does not even think I am in combat, so it does not silence it until combat is done. After that the rest were no problem, they had 2 leaders, but a [Will Reinforcement] made the arrow strong enough to pierce their armor and hit their heads, but I still needed to shoot 2 arrows in each of them, before they died.
| [Perception] reached Level 2! [Eagle Eyes] reached Level 2! |
'Interesting, was that a coincidence or does killing where vision is important train the skill that increase said vision?' Another thing I need to test, when I am killing these Orcs.
Nina's Pov
'Goddess, I love this woman' I am looking at Annika looking so happy that she finished the floor, and it looks amazing, but she plans to use a coating on it that Kali made for her, and told her how to make, that will make it last for 50 years at least, and it will also make it better to walk on. Kali said that it would become smoother, and softer.
While she is doing that I am still trying to control water, which is a slow process, I might need something else before I can do so.
I am sitting on the edge of the bath, making certain that nothing is disturbing the water, since I want to be certain that it is me, and not something else. I focus, and try and connect with the water with my magic, it is a slow progress, but I think I got something, I pull with my magic.
A small amount of water raised from the bath, but before I can make certain it stops, causing a ripple to go through the bath.
'Wait, was that me?' I did it again, and now I can see that it indeed was my magic that moved it.
"YES!" I laughed and then stood up, and ran to Annika to show her.
"Annika, I did it!"
