“Someone found teacher? Young nephilim, let it be.”
Liam khat the person he waited for arrived. He stood up, finding a rather short female nephilim with long white hair behind him. Her body full of power and the missi eye gave her a valiant appearance.
“Are you Ganra??”, questioned Liam despite knowing the answer.
The woman obviously didn’t find it strahat somenized her.
“Yes, I’m Ganra the brave. Disciple of Reyalyn. Guardian of nephilim!”
Ganra stood with a heroic posture, her promi abs visible below her slim chest armor.
Liam khat the NPC was a heroic character, looking at her with admiring eyes.
“Young nephilim, did you e to learn from my teacher?”
“Yes, someoold me that he is one of the most powerful inal nephilim. I want to learn the chaotic tempest css from him.”
“What a pity.”, sighed Ganra. “Ever since our pact with hell shattered, teacher hasn’t been the same. Except from his disciples, he refuses to see people. You won’t be able to learn from him.”
“Is that so?”, asked Liam with disappoi.
“Yes, unfortunately.
However… I see that you have a lot of potential. Why don’t you sider learning from me?”
“Really?”
“Yes. Although I am not allowed to teach the chaotic tempest css, we disciples have worked hard over the years to develop a simir css which doesn’t rely on dark magic.”
Liam nodded his head. This was the reason why he came here.
The veterahat chaotic tempest innacle ot avaible before level 5ht now, he could only learn the holy tempest css from Ganra.
[Do you wish to accept the quest ‘Css ge: Holy Tempest’?]
[Yes]
[No]
“I would be incredibly grateful.”
“Great. Then e with me.”
[
[Step one: Follow Ganra]
Liam did as told, walking behind the powerful nephilim.
At this time, Liam’s friends slowly came oer a night of celebration, discussing in the group chat.
Most of them were without pns, asking for css reendations from Liam. Naturally the veteran wouldn’t be stingy, digging his brain for powerful and suitable csses for everyone.
Suddenly an angry message came from Cye.
[Cye: This despicable Star Gazer!]
[Silver Bde: What?]
[Cye: He’s giving interviews again, hinting that it was him who hired a team to clear the first dungeon!]
[Silver Bde: He dares?!]
[Radiant Shield: What a lowly man!]
[Fortune: Is he crazy? My video will e out tonight!]
[Cye: Video? ht! Haha, then everyone will see it was us who cleared the dungeon!]
[Balm: It still feels bad.]
[Cye: Hey, did you see the notificatio’s all get on the ranking list and put some pressure on that loser!]
[Balm: Good idea!]
Bleary Mirage watched as his teammates quickly filled out the ranking list. Another otion was engulfing the global chat, but Liam had no time to watch as he and Gana reached a small training arena.
Its floor was made from dirt, which was surrounded by a simple wall. Heavy cshes could be heard from within it.
When Gana and Liam ehey found two valiant men battle each other, holy light shooting in all dires.
Gana gave her trainee a few seds to take in the sight, letting him withe power of holy tempests.
When she saw Bleary Mirage staring at the fight with impressed eyes, she nodded in satisfa before calling out.
“Demuni! Lerg! Take a break for now, we have a rainee!”
It took a few seds for the fightio stop. Their sweaty bodies glistened in the sun as they looked over, mustering Liam calmly.
To the veteran’s surprise those two were actually holy nephilim, the bright white wings behind their backs opened proudly.
Despite being in the home inal nephilim they still had a haughty air about them as they stepped to the side.
“Let’s see what you’re made of, newbie.”
Demuni spoke skeptically as Gana led Lima into the arena.
“The best way to learn is through actual bat.
Are you ready young nephilim?”
Liam already knew what to expect. He took a deep breath as he nodded solemnly.
“Good.”
Gana grinned as she walked to the side, activating a magical circle.
Suddenly Liam felt his body ge. A white armor appeared on his body, with two sharp swords lying in his hands. This was a newbie equipment for holy tempests, graemporarily by the game.
The css in his status ged as the pyer was given a few seds to familiarize himself with the new css.
Notifications popped up before Liam, him a short tutorial.
Fortunately, Liam already knew about most of it or it would be difficult to learn mu such a short time.
Still, he hastily read everything, making sure that nothing ged pared to his past life.
Holy tempest… damage reliant on INT and AGI… allowed to wield two ons. A new passive skill [Holy Mark].
[Holy Mark (passive)
Effect: Every attack of yours has a 50% ark the enemy with a holy mark. Holy marks synergize with your skills. Stag five holy marks on one enemy leads the marks to explode, dealing holy damage.]
This should be my most important skill. At the same time other skills will be automatically adjusted to synergize with holy mark.
And I gain two new skills while my resource switches from fury to mana.
Everything is as I remembered it.
Just as Liam was done reading, a light came from the magic circle activated by Gana. Suddenly five zombies appeared in the arena, staring at Liam with insatiable hunger.
“You guys again…”
Liam joked as he checked them briefly.
[Minor ZombieRank: on
Level: 10
HP: 1500/1500]
Liam jumped a bit in pce, getting used to his automatically ged stats a.
A sed ter the first zombie was before him.
Liam quickly swung both his swords before dodging gracefully, his movements instinctual.
[-206!]
[-103!]
[Stance -10]
Not bad…
The veteran grinned, looking at the single holy mark above the zombie’s head.
The other monsters arrived rapidly as well. Liam danced outside their attack range, saving his stance, before using one of his new skills.
An impulse came from Liam, spreading a wave of brilliant holy magic, dealing some damage and putting a holy mark on every enemy.
His skill hadn’t even reached the enemy yet when Liam dove forward, using his [Double Ssh]. The skill was modified by the css ge, it’s first attack adding a holy mark, while its sed attack prompted it to explode.
The veteran fought with profound tration, pref difficult moves and choosing tricky ahree of the zombies were hit by his double ssh.
Small explosio off as the holy marks exploded, rattling the zombies.
Liam’s first target was carrying three holy marks, taking copious amounts of damage.
[-296!]
“Way to go newbie!”
Even Gana appeared impressed, cheering from the side.
However, the zombies only turned angrier, swiping their ugly cws at Liam. He stepped back, letting them hit empty air.
[Stance -20]
Liam watched worriedly as his important resource dwindled. But he had no other options than to tihe fight.
He swung his swords again, seeking to build up holy marks. A few seds ter his skills came off cooldown, allowing him to send another wave of holy magic.
Liam circled the r zombies, using [Double Ssh] and normal attacks perfectly to hit multiple enemies.
But suddenly a sluggish feeling overcame his body.
My stance is used up…
The veteran gritted his teeth watg the oppo’s HP.
I got this.
Encing himself Liam swung his swords quickly. At this point it was only a test of raw stats.
[-206!]
Liam sighed in relief when the first oppo fell to the floor. However, the other zombies weren’t impressed, keeping up their attacks.
[-92!]x4
Reag level 10 Liam had a bit over 1200HP. Thus, he would be able to survive awo rounds of attacks.
The veteran did the calcutions in his head while tirelessly swinging his swords.
Another zombie folded as its HP emptied out. Liam sighed in relief. With a brutal strike he stunned one enemy, only taking two attacks.
The pressure noticeably decreased. Liam kept up his fooheless until he finally mao kil the st zomby, having only a couple hundred HP left.
Slow g rang out in the arena. Evewo holy nephilim aowledged the newbie’s power.
“Well done, well done. I didn’t expect you to kill them all!”
Gana excimed proudly, revealing information about the quest.
Liam had already known that it wasn’t necessary to kill all zombies, but it was important for his evaluation.
He was rewarded for his efforts when Gana came over with a bright smile, handing him a skill book.
“Take this. It is something I personally piled for promising newbies. You deserve it.”
“Thank you!”
Liam couldn’t suppress his grin as he checked out the book.
