Chapter 307 Long Term Relationship

Seeing his attributes, Danzel felt somewhat awkward.

Considering how many attributes he gained for a level of his class, The attribute that he gained the less amount of points, that was agility was actually his highest attribute.

Where in fact his class was built to focus on Strength, intelligence, and Endurance.

He didn′t regret putting so many points into his agility as it helped him immensely in any situation. But watching his intelligence surpass the other two core attributes of his made him feel quite awkward.

`I need to change that.′ Danzel thought to himself as he stared at the remaining free attribute points that waited to be distributed.

But as much as he wanted to increase his strength, Danzel felt the need to start increasing his defense capabilities with all the new healing capabilities that he gained.

As the mutants who barely were of the 3rd-tier were capable to inflict his damage even with his armor on.

Sure, they had a strong body, but they generally couldn′t use any skills at all. When he checked some of the statuses of those mutants, most of their skills were passive ones with rarely some active skills.

If his opponent were an expert of the 3rd-tier and managed to land a hit on his skull while using a skill, then Danzel would even make a trip on the realm of death before coming back and killing that fellow.

Never the case, Danzel was starting to think it was better in focusing his attribute somewhere else instead of agility.

Instead of being a swift reaper, he was considering becoming a tank with healing capabilities.

Though both had their merits, Danzel found the latter to be much more disgusting to face.

With such thought in mind, Danzel distributed the remaining attribute points.

He put 27 points in strength, making his strength 700.

Next, he put a total of 59 points into his endurance, making it 650 with the last 4 points going towards his agility for the sake of turning his agility at 940.

If one considered the effect of [Superior Undead], Danzel would even gain +70 strength, +94 Agility, +72 intelligence, and + 65 endurance.

That bonus would be doubled if he was further influenced by the talent [Sin of Wrath]. Bringing his already monstrous strength a step closer to the 4th-tier.

`I wonder how close I will be after evolving my class. Considering the attribute points I will gain, I should be able to fight against a 4th-tier expert...I think.′ Danzel thought to himself.

Though he didn′t want to arrogantly believe that he can win against a 4th-tier, he couldn′t help but think that he could have a slight change if he further upgrade his [Black Guard] class.

"No, it′s better not seek trouble with any 4th-tier any time soon when I am still a wight. Only when I become a death knight will I be able to face other 4th-tiers."

"Seeing I also revealed myself to Velkir, he should still want to use my runes. He even sent Vanessa to simply guard a duke's son with me. In other words, the mission is nothing more than to keep me busy whereas Vanessa is my bodyguard." Danzel mumbled out loud while seating on his bed.

Activating the spatial ring of storage that Velkir had given him, Danzel found a total of 3 large books with the mentioned "supplies".

'Follow current novels ON N (ovelB in.)',

Taking out the books and scanning them, he found out that they were books that contained the knowledge of magic.

The first book titled [Learnings of wicked magic for beginners] held subjects that would interest someone that needed the basics and had information for the 1st and 2nd-tier.

The second book is titled [Studiess of necromancy by Revivor Veleron]. This one was as much more advantage Necronomicon that he himself possessed and was 3 times higher than the first book. One could easily use it to smash one's head with this thing.

The last book was titled [Elemental magic of Spell studies] which like the first book, contained information for beginners, but more focused on the element aspects.

Once he opened that book, a letter dropped to the floor.

Picking it and reading its content, Danzel was more sure of his theory than before.

-

My discipline Danzel,

No, our relationship is more of a transaction than that of a master and disciplined one. Though I can′t personally teach you as I have some unfinished business, the books I sent you should be enough to satisfy your hunger for knowledge. I also provided you a battlefield for you to improve your skills with living targets, though I forced you to place yourself guarding that noble kid for the next couple of months.

I realized that you want to keep our relationship only to transactions wise and I wish to respect such conditions. Since we are a part of the same race, I am sure this will turn out into a long-term relationship that benefits both of us.

Burn this letter, Velkir.

-

"Long-term relationship, huh?" Danzel mumbled before taking a runed contract out of his storage ring.

Imputing his mana into the piece of paper, dark green flames engulfed the contracted.

Throwing the letter into the burning contract, soon both pieces of paper were engulfed in fire and soon enough both pieces of paper turned into ashes.

Though it was kinda wasteful on his part, Danzel didn′t mind too much spending his contracts.

Velkir provided him with enough paper to make another couple hundred of them.

Though Danzel was still somewhat skeptical of Velkir′s plans for him, making some relationships with a 4th-tier Lich wasn′t that bad.

He could provide him with runes and Velkir could provide him with several items and equipment. Though he still held the fear of being enslaved similar to when he was with Hanson, he couldn′t do much about it.

When he went to join the mercenary group and meet the necromancer which was Velkir, he didn′t really expect to be found out to be the runesmith known as Rue Danzel.

He could lie about his runed sword, but he couldn′t lie about the fact that every single item of his was a runed item.

For the better or the worse, being found out gave him many benefits he couldn′t even hope to gain before.

`As for the future consequences, I will let my future self-deal with them.′ Danzel thought to himself.

'ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novel(B) in.ᴄᴏᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇ ꜰᴀsᴛᴇʀ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ sᴘᴇᴇᴅ.',

It wasn′t like he could do anything other than enjoy the benefits in front of him.

"With those 3 books, my total collection increased by a total of 5 magic books. Nersan′rahs book also needs to be studied. I could make the crystal that he gave me into some sort of orb, but..." Shaking his head, Danzel lay on the bed that was way too small for him

It even started making cringing noise with the total weight of his bones and armor.

"Will even a couple of months be enough to even finish a single one of those things?" Danzel mumbled to himself before starting to read the book of Nersan′rah.

And without even realizing it, several hours passed and the next morning came.

*Knock, Knock.

"Hey, Da- I mean Abdael! Come out already! We need to go." Vanessa said while continuously knocking on his door.

The door itself started shaking and it wouldn′t be a surprise if Vanessa punched a hole through the door.

"Sigh is it so hard remembering one name..." Danzel cursed under his helmet before closing the book that he was reading.

Putting all the books that he had in his storage ring, he stood up from his bed and opened the door.

"Where do we need to go," Danzel asked while looking down at Vanessa the dark elve.

Compared to her, he was massive in size, but if Vanessa really wanted to, she could probably send him to the realm of the dead without him being able to react.

"That guy Will told me that we will be going somewhere much further away from this castle. Probably on another battlefield." She shrugged her shoulders.

Nodding his head, Danzel followed behind Vanessa who was guided to where the others were.

Once the knights saw him appear, many gave him looks of dissatisfaction and hatred at him for obvious reasons.

After killing some of their own for what they considered unreasonable, many started talking behind his back, calling him Abdiel the cruel.

The other three mercenaries only gave him a wary expression which was reasonable on their part.

Compared to him, Vanessa's reputation was much better, be it because of her beauty or the fact that she brought several heads of some of the elite units of the enemy forces. Also, the fact that she was a 4th-tier made the more ambitious people to looking for opportunities to lick her boots to gain her favor.

In turn, Danzel looked at all those knights with total apathy.

He considered all those knights nothing more than portable corpses that were available for his use.

The only that interested him was the window in front of him.
