Master Of Myths

Chapter 138 - Prepping To Clear The Lawn

The following day saw the two thralls receiving constant purifications after getting their bloodlines shackled by his skill, thankfully for the two of them the process wasn't as painful as the thralls' and not as intoxicating either

In fact even the chains didn't have the same effect on Ika that they did on Nee, both felt the constant tightening around their heart and blood vessels but Ika felt more uncomfortable whereas Nee was aroused proving to YuJu that it depended on the recipient, then again it could be just Nee's weird fetishes…

The purification felt similar however to the two of them, both feeling warm all over when the consumed blood got purified and assimilated into their bloodlines, in their own words it was 'like soaking in a hot bath when you're sick'

By the time Mia had returned with the ever nonchalant Zero the two were much stronger than they were, Ika even surpassed her elder sister's stats, all but strength of course

"My, I need to get training or I just might be overtaken by you little cuties"

Mia praised with a smile, not at all meaning what she said, the gap was just too huge to be covered by a few purifications, even long term exposure to her Master's skills was still not enough, they needed to at least evolve to have a chance at beating her who had the inheritance of YuJu's powerful skills and techniques

"Since everyone is here and ready its time we begin"

Having rested enough he immediately began work, laying the map he drew in his trip on one of the tables, it was a very detailed map of the surroundings that housed the names of both human camps and beast nests

"After distributing the equipment to the camps in these areas I found the population to have exceeded my expectations, thus we shall begin clearing the land so they could either establish themselves as large settlements or perhaps join ones that exist"

"So we will be fighting the beasts directly!"

Nee shouted in surprise, the newborn vampire didn't seem to yet comprehend how powerful they were, herself included

"The huge beasts left the territory of earth, or at least any city close to this one, a long time ago once there was a lack of creatures to massacre which means we are left with normal beasts and somewhat large ones at most"

"Still I don't think we can beat all of them Master, for example the creature marked here, that zombie deer is just too fast and too dangerous to hunt, last time I met it catching food in the wilderness I almost lost an arm, thankfully I could fly and it was earthbound"

"Worry not since I will also be putting my best in to end the fight as quickly as possible"

Knowing that he was participating directly gave them confidence to enter the fray without fear for consequences

"Since I need to allocate you roles however I need to understand what skills you have thus tell me what your classes are and if you have any unique Titles"

"My Lord may I go first!"

A little too excited Nee raised her hand like a kid waving for attention which quickly earned her the approval to introduce her class first

"My name is Nee, I have two classes since I am above level twenty five, the first is Mind Enchantress, it's a class that allows me to, as you would guess, captivate a person's mind to fall under my control, well partially so, the class skills for this are Enrapturing Eyes, D-" "Just the class, I should know what skills you have" "Oh"

Unable to understand how he would know what her skills are when there were thousands of classes she spoke of her second class with some confusion

"The second one is Heart Demon, basically a more sneaky version of Mind Enchantress that requires thought understanding and manipulation rather than direct physical confrontation"

"What's the proficiency of your Whisper?"

"? Intermediate-Low"

"Don't waste Skill Points on other things and upgrade your Whisper for now, once you get to Proficient-High you will gain the skill Inner Demons, that should help you focus on controlling strong individuals"

"Ah? Yes….thank you…"

Not quite comprehending how he knew all this stuff she just numbly answered before he turned his attention to the other two

"My Lord, I have the Assassin and Alchemist classes"

"Did you not advance your first class yet?"

"Mother told me not to, that I should wait for the Lord to decide which path the class should take"

He gave an approving glance toward Mia for doing so

"You shall take the Infernal Assassin class path, the first step toward that is gaining control over fire to advance toward the Flame Trickster, an evolution toward fire related skills is needed so I will research into that"

As painful as it was to hear that she would evolve the next piece of news was even more hurtful

"As for the Alchemist class, there is Subrina for that, I don't believe it is required"

"But, my Lord, even if I don't need to concoct potions I can make poisons"

"That can also be done by her, in fact I left a little something with her to quicken her advancement in that field since we would be needing it, I believe she sent the first batch over?"

He looked over to Mia who nodded and had Zero open the backpack they brought along, one filled with green filled vials of different shades, each looking more poisonous than the other

The second Ika saw them she felt that there really wasn't much she could do, her skills didn't tell her anything about the poisons, not even after she opened a bottle and tried to make out the content, this  concussion was truly beyond her sending the delicate shoulders into a slump

Not minding the even gloomier Ika YuJu turned to the final one, the vampire he was most curious about

"Zero, Tide Rider and Vanguard my Lord"

Answered the blue eyed woman succinctly

"As I guessed, you did pick up a defensive class, using it in the wrongest way possible"

"?"

"You've been using Steeled Body to keep your body sturdy in order to withstand the great force behind your strength, correct?"

She nodded

"Next time read your skills description clearly, Steeled Body uses vitality as the cost of upkeep, since your keeping it active all the time so your body doesn't buckle under the pressure of your own strength your constantly draining vitality, that's why your probably hungry all the time and would become blood starved much faster than your sisters"

".....Must I waste Attribute Points on vitality then?"

All this happen to begin with because she wanted to invest all points into strength and not waste any on the other stats

"Not at all, stats are interconnected, strength would automatically raise Vitality by itself when you reach a certain gap, if only you didn't rush your stat allocation in strength then your body would have naturally adjusted, now however you need to allow your body to amass enough at one go to make a small increase, a hard task turned easy with my skills help"

He meant the purification that melded the blood essence directly into her body, that should be enough to raise the vitality threshold

"Thank you my Lord"

Feeling a little transparent in front of this man didn't sit well with her, still he was the one who would give her the power she needed so it  might be good to be a little more polite

"How about you Mia, how goes your class advancement"

"Still a Servant Of The Night, I have however acquired information of an abyss of sorts like you requested, if the rumors are right about it then I should be able to complete the advancement there"

"Give me the location and I will scout it first"

She nodded and he didn't pursue  the matter of her second class since he himself did not decide which one she should choose yet

"Now then, Zero according to the skillset you have I am assigning you toward battling headfirst with any of the weaker beasts we meet, Ika will be tailing your shadows and delivering death once the opportunity arises, how you two work together and sync your skills is up to your discretion"

"'Yes My Lord""

He wasn't afraid of them messing up since he was sure of Mia's good training

"Nee, you shall stay in the den and watch over the place, you would not be useful in the upcoming fights, you shouldn't poach any humans yet either, wait for Mia and Ika to point out the useless ones before making them into thralls"

"Granted, my Lord"

"Mia, do as you see fit"

"I shall not disappoint Master"

"The three of you should note however that in the areas marked blue no one is to engage, those are solely for me to deal with"

""Yes""

Seeing as there weren't any questions he turned and walked out with the three closely following behind with their eyes sharp, ready for some tough battles
