Cosmic Peak

Chapter 24 - <Hyper Charge>, Aren's Plan-2

Aren entered inside the passage with Ikaros floating along with him in front of him.

After seeing the giant sleeping beer, Aren slowly moved inside and hit behind a small boulder while peeking at the sleeping bear.

He controlled the sword with his thoughts and used the skill, <Hyper Charge> as the Aren felt his Armalist force draining.

He only had 20 Armalist forces left, so he used all of it in <Hyper Charge> to empower his sword.

<Hyper Charge>

-Level: No level.

-Rank: No rank.

-Cost: Min: 10 Armalist Force. Max: ??

-Effect: Infuse Armalist force into your Articule Gears to charge for a powerful effect of attuned nature.

Aren once again looked at <Hyper Charge> skill's effect and confirmed his thoughts before grinning.

Powerful effect of attuned nature...

' That means...wait; I just should just try it out. ' Aren thought as he tried to use <Wind Slash> with his sword that was 8 meters away from him.

After a second, He opened his eyes in excitement, ' So the mysterious connection between me and the sword...it's should be due to Armalist Drive. Anyway, So I can also use skills since I drained my spirit energy when I used <Wind Slash> and the spirit energy entered into the sword. Great! '

Without hesitation, Aren released <Wind Slash> from his sword towards the sleeping bear's neck.

*Swooosh...*

Aren looked at <Wind Slash> and clenched his fist as he finally confirmed...that <Hyper Charge> skill can enhance other skills released through his gears.

The wind slash he released was far more potent, with enhanced sharpness oozing out of it.

Its size was also a bit bigger than normal <Wind Slash> skill's slash.

*Puchi...*

The <Wind Slash> hit the bear's neck before a fountain of blood gushed out.

Its neck was still attached, but half of it was cut.

The bear woke up in pain but couldn't roar or anything because its neck was cut.

Its red eyes looked around in pain before seeing a sword floating in front of it and raised its paw to attack it.

But the sword easily dodged the attack and flew towards its cut-off neck before releasing another <Wind Slash> which finally cut of the bear's head.

The second <Wind Slash> was not as powerful as the first one, but it was enough to separate the head and kill it.

[ Earth Bear killed, 450 Exp gained. ]

[ You reached level 2 in Emporio Armalist Path. ]

[ 1 talent point gained. ]

Aren decided to look through this later as he had to set his plan in motion as soon as he can after gathering barriers.

" That bear had superb tenacity. " Aren muttered as he walked towards the field of red barries and started plucking the berries.

This field was not as large as the one they found in the previous town; at best, It was a bit more than half the size of the field found by Luna.

Aren counted a total of five hundred sixty-four barries.

After he put the barries inside his inventory, He informed Luna about it and left the cave.

After leaving the cave, He started moving towards the 2nd quest's location to start the real plan.

Since his agility increased, his speed also increased, and after thirty minutes, he reached the location of the second quest and saw Quinn killing the last Morasic Tiger.

[ Quest: Kill 10 Morasic Tigers. ]

<Rewards>

-1800 exp.

Aren dashed towards them.

After hearing the sound of loud footsteps, everyone looked in his direction.

" Everyone! Carefully listen. " After saying this, Aren took out a barrel and a few barries.

" This barrel contains spirit water, and it can recover our spirit energy. " Aren spoke while pointing at the barrel.

Hearing him, everyone became shocked.

" Is that true? If we can recover our spirit energy, then we will progress tremendously. " Jason spoke with a startled voice.

Aren nodded before pointing at the red barries, " And these red barries...hehe, they can heal our injuries rapidly. "

Hearing that, they were even more shocked; Borus Tenkai asked with a serious face, " How effective they are? "

Aren looked at him and grinned, " Very effective. Cracks on bones and slash wounds can be cured in a minute with two red barriers. "

" Fuck! That's awesome. " One of the bodyguards cursed before he stepped forward and said with a weak smile, " Umm...Can I get a berry? I think I have a slight crack on my left leg's bone, and it's really annoying and painful to walk with that. "

Aren walked towards Borus Tenkai before he let out 500 barries from his inventory and created a tiny hill of red barries in front of him.

Everyone was shocked to see these many barriers.

" Mr. Borus. Take these 500 barries and use them well. " After saying that, Aren walked back and put his barrel inside the inventory, " I can't share spirit water because It's not enough for everyone. But we will get more spirit water and red barries today. "

Before they could ask him how Aren continued, " The plan is, you will separate into groups of three people and enter into different towns after leaving Wild expanse and search for Mountain caves and underground caves. Those two places contain Red barries and spirit water ponds.

Not all caves have them, so we have to search extensively. Also, if you find a spirit water pond, then don't store the water but dig out the pond and find a spirit stone beneath it. The spirit stone is the main thing that can create spirit water. "

After saying this, He looked at the quest panel and said, " But first, we will have to finish the last quest so we can leave Wild expanse. The place is not too far, so let's go finish the quest before executing the plan. "

...

Everyone started to move towards the quest location.

On the way, Aren also told everyone that once they reach level 10, they will have an evolution of some kind and will receive a job class of sort.

" After selecting your path, you will return to your location in the wild expanse. Mom, Quinn, you two will level up to 10 after this quest, so look through your path as it will increase your combat power greatly. "

Quinn curiously asked, " What power did you get? "

Aren smiled and shook his head, " I think everyone will be given unique options of paths. From the three options I got, I chose Emporio Armalist. Weird name, right? Anyway, you will understand when the time comes.. For now, let's finish the last quest. "
