Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

Chapter 219 10. Match

''This subskill has a lot of hidden features, and it's just as difficult to comprehend. I'll have to figure out what I can do with it later. '' Raydon stated and chose to examine his final sub-skill.

"It has the word "Aura" again, like the last sub-skill for my stamina stat."

He pondered as he observed his Aura of Dominion passive skill. Because of this skill, Raydon was able to make twice as much of an impact with all of his skills. Thankfully, it wasn't just a support skill like Aura of Life, and it was an incredible increase that also increased his attack-type skills by 100%.

He laughed contentedly, saying, "Now, both my defense and attack power have increased to incredible levels." 

Even taking into account the fact that he only had a total of 200 stat points, he possessed the power that is equivalent to a 100 level F-Rank item holder. And the difference would be much larger than could be calculated with simple math when his sub-skills were taken into account. 

''An E-Rank of level 100 is probably not going to be able to compete with my power at this point. I am curious to know how strong I am in comparison to D-Rank item holders. ''

He shifted his focus to D-Rank item holders because he no longer considered any E-Rank item holders to be his opponents. Even though he did not know what kind of power boost an item holder would get when they rose to D-Rank, he did not believe that it would be too difficult for him to fight an ordinary one with the power he currently possessed.

"My power still shouldn't be enough to hold my ground against my family, but I can at least won't let myself be controlled by them with the help of the high rank behind my back." Raydon cracked a sly grin as he started making preparations for when he would see his family again, which was coming up very soon.

By utilizing all of the cards he had in his hand, he planned to maximize the benefits he received from them as much as possible. In the end, he was not yet powerful enough to get what he wanted in this world that was ruled by these families and organizations, and he required additional experience points to become even more powerful. In order for him to accomplish this, he had to make the most of every opportunity that came his way.

'I still have one goal left. ' He reflected on the final two matches he needed to win to move up to E-Rank.

When he reached E-Rank, he needed an absurdly large number of experience points for each level, so it didn't make much sense to him that the number of free stat points he would get for each leveling up would increase from 2 to 4.

However, once he reached E-Rank, even the additional 10 stat points that he would get for each stat would be sufficient to increase his power by a factor of several times. Because both of his strength and agility stats are still at 1, his combo with the Berserker technique is still relatively weak. However, if he were to increase either of these stats by 10, he would experience a significant increase in power.

Raydon got over the frustration of not being able to raise his stamina and spirit stats at the moment and focused on his ascension to E-Rank four days later.

"I'd better find something to pass the time while waiting for my next match. '' After saying this, Raydon made the decision to leave his home and go see Dan and the others.

He entertained the idea of teaching them his super-evasion technique because he could not afford to lose any of them to an unexpected attack because it would render his investment in them null and void.

Raydon had already put more time and effort into teaching them two different techniques than necessary, but he was beginning to feel that the loyalty he had earned in return made it at least partially worthwhile. 

Because of this, in addition to using the time to distract himself from his boredom, he reasoned that it might be beneficial in the long run to make them more powerful.

''Explosive Swarm. ''

He activated his best skill, which is for farming experience points, and then his bees, which are formed from his black flames, began to swiftly fly around in search of prey.

It's also worth noting that Raydon's bees appear to have grown in size and speed, exuding a more aggressive vibe.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Raydon muttered to himself after the fourth explosion as he looked over the items his teammates had left behind. ''I'll run into issues down the road if I keep killing my teammates. ''

''Whatever, I guess. '' After that, he gathered the items, and then he hurled them into his dimensional storage. 

After four days, he had already finished his ninth match while instructing Dan and the others in a new technique, and he had just begun his tenth and last match in order to achieve the E-Rank.

Raydon sat down and relaxed his shoulders as he watched his bees take flight and begin their work. Given that this was going to be his last match as an F-Rank, he was eager for it to be over with as soon as possible. There was no longer any real challenge in the fights, and they had grown dull and routine. 

Because his power was so great at this point, he didn't even have to bother moving. He desired a challenge that would put his skills to the test because the F-Rank matches had nothing more to offer him.

''I wonder what the concept will be for E-Rank matches. '' While thinking about this, Raydon enjoyed a bite of braised meat from his dimensional storage while indulging in the salty breeze that carried the scent of the ocean.

At this point, all he could ask for was for his next match to be more challenging.
