Chapter 890 Four Pillars: The First Blacksmith
Closing his eyes to savor the sensation, he felt the strength contained in his body break through their previous limits with every passing second, with the same happening for his stats.
Not only that, but he felt his knowledge on the field of blacksmithing gradually expand as well, continuing off of the foundation he\'d already built as a True Prodigious Blacksmith. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
However, just as the process of inheriting the First Blacksmith class was nearing completion, the young man immediately felt his strength gradually dissipating into thin air.
Shocked, Valyr opened his eyes as he looked at Vaughn, who merely looked back at him with a knowing smile.
Taking a look at the notifications that followed, the young man continued to sense his strength regressing to a lower level, making him feel as if all the effort he\'d gone through so far had all gone to waste.
Fortunately, after a minute or so, his strength stopped decreasing, prompting him to let out a sigh of relief.
Clenching his fists and doing a few basic movements to get a basic idea of how much strength he\'d lost, the young man soon calculated that he could only exhibit roughly a tenth of the usual strength he had just earlier.
Reading a certain notification where it had something to do with an Arbiter, Valyr immediately looked at Vaughn with slight murderous intent, understanding that the man had something to do with it.
Though, that murderous intent soon disappeared as he read the final notification he received from the system, prompting him to take a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Becoming silent for a bit after that to make sure he had gotten his emotions under control, Valyr gave Vaughn a slightly apologetic smile as he opened up his status screen.
"Thanks."
"Well, it\'s my fault for not telling you beforehand," said Vaughn as he flashed an apologetic smile in response. "In situations like these, the Authority stat really is handy."
"Even more so when the increase in rarity doesn\'t apply retroactively," replied Valyr as he nodded in agreement.
Whoosh!
Looking at the amount of unused XP he had on hand, the young man\'s eyes slightly widened in surprise for a bit before letting out a bit of laughter.
After that, he took a look at his status screen in greater detail, noticing that all of his stats were over 100 points in total, with some even breaching the 200 point mark.
\'Huh. I guess the effects of the elixirs and items I consumed didn\'t go away,\' thought Valyr to himself, only for a radical idea to surface in his mind soon after.
"Say, Vaughn. If I\'d already consumed Reinforcement Elixir and had my levels decreased, would it be possible for me to consume another set of Reinforcement Elixir?" asked Valyr, voicing out the idea he had to the man.
"Not really, no," replied Vaughn with a shake of his head. "As far as I\'ve heard, it\'s possible if you had someone with an Authority stat that\'s in the millions tinker with it. But usually, you can only consume it once."
"Got it." Hearing those words, Valyr inwardly let out a sigh as he continued looking at his status screen, noticing that his species had also changed due to the change in level.
"I\'ve gone down to the 1st Unsealing," muttered the young man to himself, immediately understanding why that was the case.
Obtaining information from Vaughn regarding his species and class, Valyr then proceeded to allocate an amount of XP that would allow him to reach the peak of Rank 3 in one fell swoop, an amount massive to leave any other person at a loss for words.
Ding!
[2,265,529 XP has been allocated. You are now Level 25.]
[480,868 XP has been allocated. You are now Level 26.]
[…]
[2,908,993 XP has been allocated. You are now Level 41.]
[82,585,279 XP has been allocated. You are now Level 55.]
Though, for Valyr, the amount requested by the system was just a mere drop in the ocean.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Maneuvering his way through the various notifications and screens that filled his vision, Valyr gradually returned himself back to where he was previously, choosing the path of Unsealing that corresponded to his current species.
As for his class, he made sure to choose The First Blacksmith every time, even though there were more choices that had appeared on the list since then.
Unfortunately, none of them were as great as the class Vaughn gave him.
"An Ancient class is definitely something else." Now that he had returned to his previous progress, Valyr went ahead and did a few basic movements, feeling the greater power brought about by an Ancient class.
After that, he unleashed a few skills, all of which benefited from the increased stats the Ancient class gave him through the various class ranks.
"I wonder how I\'d fare now if I were to fight against Daon and Dawan." Feeling satisfied with the various improvements the new class had given him, the young man thought back to his final fight in the Gates of Awakening.
Imagining the fight in his mind once more if both sides were to go all out, Valyr had a feeling that he would now be able to stand on equal footing against the two in certain areas.
\'Though, if they were to go all out and were in their main bodies, I\'m sure that wouldn\'t be the case.\'
"With you inheriting my previous class, all that\'s left is to go through the Concept Impartation." While Valyr was thinking about the fight, Vaughn reminded the young man that he had not yet received his first reward.
With that, Valyr focused his attention on Vaughn, looking at the man with a hint of expectation.
In response, Vaughn let out a bit of laughter, retrieving the Crystallized Nomological Shards he had stored earlier before setting up a construct that would allow the Concept Impartation to take place.
While Vaughn was in the midst of setting up the construct, a thought soon occurred in the young man\'s mind. "Now that I think about it, how much time has passed in the outside world since we entered the Gates of Transcendence?"
"Roughly half a week, give or take," replied Vaughn.
"Really?" said the young man in slight disbelief.
"Do keep in mind I\'m manipulating the flow of time here while keeping an eye on the state of the war outside." Vaughn looked at the young man for a bit before returning his attention on the construct. "If I didn\'t, you might have left this inheritance well after the war had already reached its climax."
"Speaking of which, be prepared to get hit with vertigo the moment you get out."
"I\'ll definitely keep that in mind." Committing the man\'s last statement to memory, Valyr shifted the topic of their conversation to the two that left before him. "How are Hal and Vera doing?"
"They\'ve long left the inheritance," replied Vaughn as he began to add the finishing touches on the construct. "Surprisingly, the weapons that resonated with them were pretty close to the central weapon."
"I see." Valyr nodded in understanding, glad that the two were able to gain a lot more from the inheritance. "Do you perhaps know what they\'re up to in the outside world?"
"Aside from joining the war efforts, not one bit."
After saying those words, Vaughn let out a faint sigh of relief as he stepped back from the construct.
Then, without hesitation, he placed his hands on one of the crystal shards he brought out, infusing his energy into it as he brought the construct to life.
Whoosh!
"Alright then."
"Let\'s begin your Concept Impartation.
