Chapter 163: Intelligent Choices

Astrid felt the excitement well up within her as she gazed at the new Skills she had the choice of selecting. Once she saw the first, it was obvious the Stage 4 Milestone Skill was a turning point within her class.

Mana Dominator: You are the dominator of mana. You control the mana within the world as if it is your own.

| increase your mana regeneration by 50%.

| Increases the damage done by all mana Skills by 25%.

Astrid smiled. It was an upgraded version of Avatar of Mana, but with extras tacked onto the end of it. It was amazing. Everything she had heard about Stage 4 Milestone Skills were made true.

But they also held a unique aspect that the others didn’t have. They were made unique to the user's Class. The next Skill only reaffirmed that.

Mind of the Endless Void: From your interactions with the void, it has begun to consume your mind. Will you fall victim to the Endless Void, or will you battle against it, coming out victorious?

| All dark matter Skills have their damage increased by 50% and are 25% easier to control.

| Warning: You will need to battle against the corruption of the Endless Void.

What the hell is the Endless Void? She thought, but once she gazed at the System message, there was a jolting pain within her left eye. Her eye of the void.

Placing her palm against her eye, did it have something to do with the Endless Void? Again, there were too many questions. She guessed she would find out if she took the Skill, but it was a huge risk to her as she didn’t know anything about the risks involved.

Perhaps she would be able to endure it considering her mental defences. Then there was the introduction of her Transcendent Class. But, the unknown variables made her wary.

If it was something to do with the dungeon; Voidmare, then maybe she would select it. Well, she had other choices to look through right now.

Bloodline Unlock - Unlock your bloodline.

| ???

As Astrid gazed at the text, she could feel something ancient gazing back at her. It reminded her of the primal mana that Avemoth had, but this felt far older.

But then it disappeared. Although it lasted only for a second, it left a deep imprint within her mind.

Bloodline. Astrid mumbled.

Taking a breath, Astrid gazed at the next choice.

Attacking Psychokinesis: Your blood runs deep with the need for violence. There is nothing better for you than to attack. Whether that’s [Crashing] matter, using your own body to punch, and kick, or pulling out the eyes of your enemies.

| All damage dealt by Psychokinesis is increased by 25%. Range is also increased by 25%. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

It wasn’t worth the pain of trying to figure it out right now. At least not before looking at the final choice.

All Seeing Eyes: There is nothing that can sneak past your line of sight, and whatever lies beyond it. Your eyes are special–for they are not restricted.

| Increases perception. Can see farther. Control with matter is increased by 100%.

Astrid decided against the final choice. With her Dominating Sovereigns Eye, it made the choice obsolete. More than that, it was impossible to compare it with a Transcendent tier Skill.

| Increases matter control by 25%.

| Omni-Kinesis Intelligence conversion rate is increased by 25%.

| Psych Warp when creating armour and weapons have their damage/durability increased by 50%.

| Damage using the environment is increased by 100%.

“That’s what I’m talking about.” Astrid grinned at the description. All the damage increases caused her hands to itch. She wanted to test them out on a new target. However, it caused her head to tilt in confusion.

Common sense would lead her to believe that a bloodline was something like a human heritage. Astrid thought she would receive a Sinwen bloodline, but what she received couldn’t be further from what she imagined.

Primordial God-Queen. It sounded incredible, but it didn’t sound very human to her.

Her family line was dated all the way back until the apocalypse occurred. Her family was just a regular old military family. In no way was one of her family members ever a supernatural God-Queen. Whatever that was.

For some reason, she couldn’t help but think it was the Eye-Queen’s doing. Mainly because it had Queen in the name. Her other thought was if Pupil had something to do with it. After all, there was no way of knowing how the black blob had altered her body. Or what it did.

Thankfully a new message within her System managed to bring her mind away from all the questions.

You have received the dungeon reward for defeating Avemoth.

| From the difficulty of the mission, and for defeating the Primal Butterfly - Avemoth, all on your own, your Epic equipment reward has been upgraded.

| Reward: Legendary - Level 150 - Primal Grinning Mask: Stripped from Avemoths very own wing, the mask holds the power of the Primal Butterfly that almost bloomed.

| 200 added Intelligence.

| Empowers your Psychic Skills with primal fire.

| Smoke or other hazardous gases within the air no longer has any effect on you.

Astrid grabbed the mask as it fell down in front of her. It truly was just a piece of Avemoth’s wing fashioned into the shape of a cloth face-mask.

Before touching it, she didn’t know what to expect, but she definitely didn’t consider it having the feeling of silk. It was lush, just like the bedsheets that her mother had personally sewn together.

However, that wasn’t all. On the face of the mask was a wide toothy grin that faintly glowed within the dark. Just like the visage of the Eye-Queen.

Tying around the back of her face, she felt the extra Intelligence buzz within her mind.

Her hands itched. Not only for the extra power, but from the added effect of fire. How cool was that. Astrid grinned.

She connected to the matter at the other side of the cave and [Crashed] it. Usually it just looked like a puff of air, followed by the loud booming of an explosion, but not anymore. In its place was a blazing fire that remained even after the explosion had ended.

It was darker than regular fire, and hotter, just like Avemoth’s own.

After testing her increased strength, Astrid set her eyes onto Avemoth’s eyes.

There was even more power to be had.
