Chapter 120: Mischievous Man
BANG!
A loud sound echoed in the shore, followed by a thud.
Then, the five-meter-long Drake finally fell!
[Target Eliminated! 3,103 Exp points obtained!]
Charles became stunned by the large amount of Exp for a second and soon groaned.
In a second, waves of pain assaulted his body and mind.
\'My left knee and right toes are injured.\' He panted heavily and then thought of casting a Rank-1 Fire-type Healing spell.
But the next instant, his expression changed into a gloomy one as he heard multiple roars from the nearby red forests.
\'More Drakes seems to be coming here. It must be due to this Creature\'s earlier warning cry.\' He nodded thoughtfully.
Then, he went near the fallen Drake corpse and tried to store it inside his space ring.
Thankfully, the space inside the ring was large enough to store more than one Drake, so the corpse instantly disappeared from there.
After looking around the surrounding for a second, Charles turned around and went into the dark cave in unsteady footsteps.
In few seconds, he arrived at the edge of the cave wall and recited a short chant.
Two seconds later, his figure turned blurry and soon disappeared from there!
…
C Orchard Street, South Borough, Chester City, Moon Kingdom.
In the gloomy underground hall, the gem-like leaf attached to the concrete wall suddenly started to shine, and soon Charles appeared from it.
Once he noticed that he returned to Edhen, he conjured two balls of flame and made them hover in the air.
After that, he looked below and soon saw blood was gushing out from his left feet. The big toe was wholly bent in a weird angle and was half torn.
\'I actually landed on a sharp stone.\' He squatted down to take a deep look at the wounds on his left feet and soon cast his [Soul Heal] fire spell.
Greenish-purple flame came out of his palm, enveloped his left feet, and started to heal the wounds at a fast speed.
He then placed his hand on the right knee and healed it.
A few minutes later, he removed his half-burned leather shoes and dresses and wore a neat nightgown.
After that, Charles opened the game interface and focused his attention on the Exp bar.
\'Hmm, I currently have 4178 Exp points.\' He thought for a moment and hurriedly poured 2,536 Exp to the Sub-Class option.
…
[2,536 Exp has been deduced for leveling up!]
[You are now a Level-5 Disguiser!]
[1 Free Attribute point rewarded!]
[20 Skill points rewarded!]
…
\'Good.\' He nodded his head with a pleasant smile and put one skill point to Strength attribute.
Then, he checked his skill points and soon furrowed his brows.
\'I have only 63 skills points. This is not enough to raise my sub-class skills.\'
He glanced at the subclass skill section and rubbed his chin.
\'I need a total of 90 skill points to raise the [Prevision] and [Magician\'s Hand] skills to the peak level.\'
After pondering for a while, he made a decision and chose to raise the [Prevision] skill first.
In a blink, the remaining skill points went to 20!
\'I should practice my [Magician\'s Hand] and raise it to maximum.\'
He nodded his head and then thought of laying lowkey till he Rank-Up the [Disguiser] Class.
While he was in muse, he changed his appearance into an old man\'s one and ordered the Holem\'s Crown to change its form into a black cane.
Following that, Charles gripped the black cane\'s handle, walked out of the underground basement, and soon noticed that only a few hours had passed in Edhen.
\'It\'s still dark outside.\' He silently went to the second floor and walked into the bedroom.
…
Three weeks passed in a blink of an eye.
December 28, Second Arcane Era, Year 6396.
In the underground basement hall, Charles sat on the cold concrete floor, held a sharp needle in his hand, and was inscribing runal words on a circular metal plate.
On the other hand, he also used his [Magician\'s Hand] skill constantly and manipulated the inscribed metal plates to hover in the air.
In the past three weeks, he went to the Moris Fire Elemental plane five times and earned 10,400 Exp points by killing three Frilled Drakes and two Lava Fiends near the Lava Lake.
Not only that, but he also raised his [Magician\'s Hand] skill to 79 points and was waiting for the last skill point.
As for why he was inscribing runal characters on weird metal plates? It was the Holem\'s Crown\'s suggestion.
A few days ago, he asked the artifact to teach him how to create a one-time Spell Matrix or Magic Array circle method. To his astonishment, the artifact suddenly took over the role of a teacher and started teaching him about how to creating a Spell Matrix. At first, he thought it would be an easy task for him.
But now, Charles realized how difficult it would be to create an artifact using the ancient method.
While he was in muse, he suddenly made a slight error when inscribing and instantly threw the disk towards the opposite side.
The metal disk flew towards the wall at a fast speed and started to tremble.
Simultaneously, the runal inscriptions on the metal plate started to shine, and soon the metal disk disappeared from there!
A second later, it appeared right beside him and detonated!
But there was no sound came from the explosion at all!
Thankfully, Charles had long predicted the sudden accident due to my [Prevision] skill and backed away with the help of [Crimson Steps] spell.
He then stared at the exploded area, used his [Magician\'s Hand] skill, and tried his best to stop the broken metal scraps from spreading in all directions.
Soon, the fire disappeared from the hall, leaving only a dense smoke behind.
Letting out a heavy sigh, he moved towards the wooden table, took a metal plate placed on it, and went back to the center to continue his inscription.
But soon, he stopped his footsteps and then curled his lips upward as he saw a change in the Game Interface.
\'My [Magician\'s Hand] skill rose by two points!\' He blinked his eyes in surprise.
Without any hesitation, he put all the remaining 20 skill points into the [Magician\'s Hand] skill and raised it to the maximum level!
…
[Magician\'s Hand skill has reached its peak level!]
[Requirement has been met for [Disguiser] class advancement!]
[You can Rank-Up by consuming the [Mischievous Man] class gem or by spending Experience points!]
[Experience points required for Ranking-Up the [Disguiser] class: 10,600 Exp]
…
\'Oh? [Mischievous Man], is it? This class title looks good. Hmm, I have a total of 12,042 Exp points.\' He thought for a moment and put 10,600 Exp points to Rank up the Sub Class.
Once he spent the exp, an electric shock went inside his mind and paralyzed him on the spot!
A moment later, he felt a sharp pain assaulted all over his body, causing him to groan in pain.
The pain continued to increase for a while, and soon Charles\'s felt an itching sensation. After that, a strange stick green liquid started to ooze out from all over his body through sweat pores and soaked him.
\'What the hell is happening to my body?\' He got shocked for a moment and soon checked the interface.
…
[Host has chosen the 2nd method for Rank-Up!]
[6,756 Exp points have been deduced for the [Mischievous Man] class gem.]
[3844 Exp points have been deduced for Rank-Up!]
[Mischievous Man Cass obtained!]
[Host\'s body is undergoing a mutation change!]
[…]
[Mutation Completed!]
[Host\'s Race has been changed from \'Human\' to \'Half-Shifter\']
[You are now a Level-1 Mischievous Man!]
[1 free attributes point rewarded!]
[20 skill points rewarded!]
…
[Skills Upgraded!]
[\'Prevision\' skill has been upgraded to \'Vision\']
[\'Disguise\' skill has been upgraded to \'Face-Change\']
[\'Magician\'s Hand\' skills has been upgraded to \'Hand of Mystery\']
…
Charles\'s eyes widened as he saw the racial change notification and soon squinted his eyes as he also sensed another change in his Inner World.
Without any delay, he sat on the ground in a cross-legged position and soon entered the Inner World.
A moment later, he found himself standing in front of the mysterious cubic box, which was covered in layers of runal words.
In second, countless information about the [Mischievous Man] class skills came out from the red-cubical box one by one and assimilated into Charles\'s illusionary form!
