Chapter 186: Third Class and... Merging?
[8 Classes Available: Warrior, Archer, Exorcist, Soul Wielder, Incubus, Assassin, Beast Tamer, Magus]
As the wheel spun at an intense speed, Stark couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and anxiety.
He wondered which class he would end up with at level 50.
He first got [Domination] at level 1, which had been a lifesaver since it was what made him so strong even though it brought just as much trouble.
Then he got [Alchemist] at level 25, and although this class wasn't specifically of the 'fighting type', it still helped him as a permanent passive since he could make and drink potions whenever he wanted to aid him: he also would be able to sell those very same potions later at a fair price, increasing his net worth.
And now… he was level 50, meaning that he would get another class.
And so after what felt like an eternity, the wheel finally came to a stop, revealing his destiny.
[You have been chosen as…]
The message on the screen hesitated for a moment before it continued.
[An…]
Stark's breath caught in his throat as he read the next word.
[An Exorcist!]
And just as it said, the giant red arrow at the top of the wheel had landed on the [Exorcist] class.
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the class: Exorcist!]
'Oh…' Stark's clone had stopped whatever it was doing and went beside the original, reading the screen as well.
"…" strangely enough, it wasn't smiling anymore.
It was the first time it didn't have that giant =) on its face, which made it infinitely creepier as to why it suddenly changed like that.
[You can spin the wheel again at level 75!]
Not wanting to waste more time as the others must already be on the verge of finding the key by now, Stark checked out the class's description.
…
[Class: Exorcist]
[Description:] Specialists in banishing evil/cursed spirits and curses, possessing abilities to purify their surroundings and protect others from malevolent forces (mainly fight demons and use divine power)
[Class Effect:] Holy aura surrounds you, and demon-type monsters are much weaker when facing you.
[Class Flaw:] Strong against demons, ghosts, and cursed monsters, but pretty weak against the others.
[Basic Skills:] You do not need any, Domination has already absorbed it.
…
'Interesting-' Stark nodded, it wasn't much different from Alchemist in terms of presentation , "WAIT WHAT?"
He read the last panel again, the one with the basic skills, and… there were no skills?
"Domination has already absorbed it?" Stark was confused, it didn't even make sense.
And yet… he somehow had a really bad feeling about it… no… the feeling wasn't bad… it was just… uncomfortable?
"…=)" Stark's clone began to gradually smile again.
And after less than a minute… something else appeared in front of Stark, something… completely out of this world.
[We do not need to burden ourselves with such a class… =)]
'…?'
[Exorcist is an interesting class, but it is too weak, meaning that it would be easily forgotten if not used against demons, and even then…]
'…!' Stark's eyes gradually widened.
[So… why not absorb it… comrade =)?]
'What do you mean-'
[Domination is currently absorbing the 'Exorcist' class…]
[Do not resist it, it is a process that will make US stronger]
'THIS IS… WHAT?' Stark was actually astonished, he couldn't understand anything that was happening.
Absorbing the [Exorcist] class since it isn't convenient? Doesn't that mean that [Domination] would basically become much stronger by absorbing the powers of the [Exorcist] class? And if so, then would he get skills related to it…?
Stark's pupils were shaking, the uncomfortable feeling wasn't leaving, it was just increasing by the second, slowly turning into dread at the face of the unknown.
"=)" the clone just stood there though, it looked like it already knew what was about to happen.
But after yet another minute…
[100/100]
[Absorption complete!]
[The 'Domination' class has absorbed the 'Exorcist' class, thus inheriting its aura and powers!]
[Basically… Exorcist has become part of Domination, it didn't disappear, it is still with us, but we just made it so that it is easier to use…]
And with this information out of the way, all the panels disappeared, and no matter how much Stark waited, no more appeared: this was everything.
'STATUS WINDOW,' he shouted in his mind.
…
[Level:] 52
[Health:] 6300/24900
[Bloodline:] Human
[Classes:] Domination; Alchemist; Exorcist (Absorbed by Domination).
[Note: A class that is absorbed by Domination doesn't disappear, it just becomes part of Domination as a whole, meaning you can still use its powers, but they become much stronger as Domination enhances them!]
[Talent:] Chosen one
[Attributes:] Strength 3392; Speed 4149; Mind/Soul 3987; Stamina 3590; Defense 3493
[Skills:] Spatial Inventory; Class Wheel; Perception; Domination lv15; Focus lv15; Aura Smash lv10; Clone Frenzy lv15; Invincible Dodge lv5; Double Assault lv5; Crimson Spears lv1; Heaven's Wrath lv5; Alchemist lv3; Potion Crafting lv3; Target Manipulation lv1; Dodge Control lv1; Crimson Ball Transmission lv1; EGO lv1 (Mythical)…
…
Exorcist was still showing, but beside it was a small text saying that it was already absorbed by Domination.
[As Exorcist has been absorbed, you have been granted one skill!]
'…?' Stark didn't even have the time to think that it appeared before him.
…
[Skill: Crimson Purification]
[Tier: Legendary]
[Description: A divine ability that eradicates evil and impurities from the surrounding area, dealing massive damage to demonic and cursed enemies while increasing the Holy aura, making you stronger against these types of foes. However, it has no effect on other types of enemies.]
[Note: 10 minutes cooldown between each use]
…
Everything was going so fast: he got his new class, but apparently it would be useless under normal circumstances, so Domination had absorbed it to make it more powerful, and now he got a skill that merged both [Domination] and [Exorcist] into one…?
At first, it didn't seem to make much sense: the Exorcist class was primarily used against demons, so people who had it were mainly dispatched to rifts where these beings resided, however, now that it had been absorbed by Domination, the holy aura and attacks would be strong even against regular enemies, or at least that is what he thought.
[Domination X Exorcist is now active, have fun!]
'Oh well… I'll just think about it later…' he turned his gaze toward his clone, and immediately, his eyes widened.
Usually, the [Superior Clone] would only be made out of crimson aura, only its eyes and mouth made out of white one, but now…
"=)" there were now some strands of golden aura in the body of the clone, and its eyes had reversed crimson crosses in them, shining with red aura.
Basically… it finally hit Stark that Exorcist had actually merged with Domination.
And the most interesting of all… was that his aura had also changed, the golden strands visible in it too, making it much more 'holy'.
[You can spin the 'Class Wheel' again at level 75]
"That's incredible," Stark smiled, "But I need to move, so the last thing I need to do is just… use my skill points."
And so Stark opened his skill panel again, he had 22 skill points available, and he would make sure to use them well.
Did all of this make sense to him? Would it even matter in the future?
Frankly, Stark didn't know, and all he could see in his field of view was the giant smile of the now [Holy Superior Clone], much more sadistic than before, as if absorbing [Exorcist] made it more evil than before (although it should be the opposite).
'Sigh… I don't know, let's just get this over with,' and so he picked the skills he wanted to upgrade.
