Chapter 276 The Pillar's Skills - Part 1

“Subdue? My chance? Lose it? Damn! What the heck are you?!!”

It was the first time to receive such a message. I reread it more than five times, trying to get the meaning behind these words.

So I got myself a pillar which didn’t only have a personality of its own but it also had a standard! Damn! I ended up getting tested by it, to see if I was a worthy master or not!

“I give one favour point to it,” as things reached such a degree and it was related to my pride, I instantly selected the highest form of currency the system proposed over me.

It even ignored stat points! In all the things the system mentioned, my highest item in value was the favour points of the higher ups.

[One favour point is deducted from your account]

[The pillar of Hector race prime is now valuing your offer]

[Please wait for its decision]

“F*ck! Just accept it already, lazy bastard!” I couldn’t believe what was happening to me! What? Should I wait for it to get a nap or have a meal and rest or what?!!

It really did take its time to respond! Half an hour passed, an entire freaking half hour for that pillar to make up its mind!

But I didn’t stop and wait for its answer. I simply kept holding it in one hand, while pointing the guiding my forces using the glaive with the other one.

Luckily my chariot only needed my mind control or else I’d be placed in a tough situation here. The fight started to shift towards my side once I cleared all the scattered groups of the Hector race.

The rest were just weak forces of monsters and races, cannon fodders in my eyes. I simply let my boys loose, acting as free as they desire.

Just as the battle reached this stage, the city interior was entirely secured. The human forces in there weren’t that weak or soft. Once they saw a chance, they moved and seized it.

In my eyes, they looked more organised and far superior to the gamers I met before. They seemed to not only fight for their survival, it looked like they were enjoying such a situation.

Fighting with such a mindset was important. They weren’t fazed by the great number of their enemies, simply heading directly for their enemies, killing them in much ease.

They must have raised all their stat points to max. Not only that, they also had full gears, high graded ones as well.

Wealthy, experienced, and very organised… I couldn’t help but wonder about their origin. Such a force was something I really craved to get.

I just hoped they would become an entire community like gamers, where I could not only get one group but be connected to a lot of such unique people.

Just before I could go and say hi to them, the pillar finally gave its answer.

[The pillar of Hector race prime agrees to take you as a master]

[Your favour point helped greatly in that, in addition to your current performance in this battle]

[Keep the hard work!]

Why did I feel like I just passed a hard exam and got a job many dreamt about? Damn! It was just a f*cking pillar!!

With that message, the pillar changed. It was showing signs of rebellion every now and then, even tried once to run away using its speed.

But everything it tried was crushed without breaking a sweat. I wouldn’t be this green to allow for such a thing to run away.

And as I finally made its majesty agree to be mine, I couldn’t wait to see its details to know what gave such a low thing the right to give its damn opinion about myself!

“Phew! Damn! Damn! Damn!” Yet the moment I opened its details window, I sucked in a deep cold breath of air after a long minute of shocking silence!

[The pillar of Hector race prime: One of a race artefact. Belongs to the Hector race. You gained the recognition of the soul of the artefact. You now have superficial permission to use the pillar]

[Details about the superficial permission to use the pillar: The pillar holds the soul of the Hector race prime. In the race’s greatest moment, the entire race agreed to donate all their feelings of pride, dominance, and might to give birth to this pillar.

Superficial pride use: As the current master of the pillar, you enjoy the superficial pride effect from the pillar. You won’t feel any pressure or threats coming from anyone below the grade of a god. You have the privilege of changing any quest rules for one time per five quests. You have the authority to change the conditions of any subquest forced over you or over your race once per subquest.

Superficial dominance use: As the current master of the pillar, you enjoy the superficial dominance effect from the pillar. Anyone meeting you will be intimidated by you, making him want to give his allegiance to you. Any hostile foes will be fighting you with shaking legs, this close to turn around and run away if not for their top elites. Only excellent acting personnel in the current apocalypse can resist the pride of this pillar.

Superficial might use: As the current master of the pillar, you enjoy the superficial might effect from the pillar. Your personal strength will get multiplied by three folds. Fighting against more powerful foes will grant you an additional nerfing effect, making you feel only fifty percent of the mighty difference between you and them. Fighting in any battle will add a temporary might effect to all your allied forces, increasing their strength stats by fifty percent.]

[The pillar superficial ownership gives you three exclusive skills to use: Intimidating Roar, Crushing Wave, and Thundering Might]

[Intimidating Roar skill: Pillar of Hector race prime exclusive skill. Can’t be linked permanently to you. You can only use it as long as you are still the owner of the pillar.

Skill details: holding the pillar, stand pride and puff your chest and use it. A mighty roar will assault your enemies up front in a cone shape, covering an area of almost half a mile in distance. Anyone hearing the roar will be exposed to a stun effect for a period ranging between one second to one minute based on the soul and mental strength of the forces against you. Can be used once per ten minutes]
