Chapter 277 - Skill Tree (3)
Leonel took a step forward.
He realized that no matter what he did, his steps were measured. Exactly 0.50 meters apart without the slightest hint of deviation. He couldn't speed up, nor could he slow down. Even taking a sidestep was difficult. If he wanted variations in his steps and speed, the only way was to begin unlocking the physical root.
However, he wasn't worried. He had already seen one person pass this test so all the stats of the beast had long since been reflected in his mind.
[Metallic Beast]
[Power: 1 Stars (Black)]
[Strength: 1 Star (Black); Speed: 1 Star (Black); Agility: 2 Stars (Black); Coordination: 4 Stars (Black); Stamina: ?? Stars (Black); Reactions: 4 Stars (Black); Defense: 3 Star (Black); Spirit: ?? Stars (Black); Force: ?? Stars (Black)]
[Power Accuracy: 100%]
Leonel knew that this assessment was 100% accurate. This metallic beast was purposely nerfed by Merlin. As such, all of its abilities were perfectly measured without the variation one would expect in real life.
In addition, during this first trial, it seemed that the beast's long, whip-like tail couldn't be used to attack.
There were only three attack patterns: 'Lunge', 'Sweep', and 'Bite'.
'The beast can lunge at most 1.5 meters. A sweep of its claws extended its range by half a meter at most. Bite will only activate if I enter a two meter range of its and also has a range of half a meter. It can attack only once every two seconds and will be stunned for 0.20 seconds after suffering a hit, however, if I hit it in that spot...'
These kind of perfectly measured battles... They were simply too easy for Leonel.
SHUUU!
An arrow appeared right between the brows of the metallic beast just as it was stalking its way toward Leonel.
'Stacked Shot.' Leonel thought to himself.
'Special Store Ticket...?'
Leonel didn't use this ticket immediately. He assumed this special store was a place he could go to to upgrade his equipment. His bow was fine, but his quiver was lacking, as an example. However, Leonel also noticed that there was no currency. This made him realize that he likely had to pay skill points to buy items, And, in the case it wasn't skill points that were necessary, that just meant he didn't have the funds necessary to buy anything to begin with.
in that case... it wasn't worth it just yet. It was better that he spend his skill points on himself for now.
Leonel turned his attention back to his skill tree.
'I need 5 skill points and something called a 'star point' to give Little Blackstar the ability to move... In that case, I'll just focus on myself for now.'
<Basic Skill 'Side Step' Chosen>
<Basic Skill 'Advanced Quick Reload' Chosen>
<Basic Skill 'Reinforced Arrow' Chosen>
<Basic Skill 'Critical Arrow' Chosen>
Leonel had already made his decision before his battle even began.
'Side Step' would allow him some more freedom in movement. It was essentially a lunge to the side that he could use in critical moments to move himself to the left or right by a meter.
'Advanced Quick Reload' would quicken his reload from 2.5 seconds to 2 seconds.
'Reinforced Arrow' was his first Force ability. It undid the shackles on his Force by a small amount and allowed him to reinforce his arrows. With this, he would finally be able to use the Tier 9 Black Grade gloves he had designed for this bow, albeit it by a small margin.
'Critical Arrow' worked just like a video game's critical strike did. It gave him a boosted chance of dealing more damage to his foes. Though it was a passive ability, due to the percentages, it would become very useful in the future especially when he began to fire more arrows. And, most importantly, 'Critical Arrow' was a prerequisite for many of the higher level skills he was eyeing...
Leonel took a deep breath and stepped back onto his platform. He could sense numerous gazes on him, many of which were both hostile and cautious. It was clear that after his performance, many had begun to take him as a serious competitor.
