The Ruined Death Knight-Chapter 33: New Mission And Gate

"Sense Danger...being able to perceive danger? Sound like a passive skill..."

"119400 XP left to use... Let´s see the cost of everything this first and then decided..."

[Skills]

[Level Up]: 3500

[Class Level Up]: 4500

[Intermedite Weapon Mastery Lv.1]: 6700

[Miasma Corruption Lv.1]: 6000

[Sprint Lv.1]: 1200

[Piercing Lv.1]: 1700

[Shield Bash]: 1700

[Wind Blade Lv.1]: 11000

[Sense Danger Lv.1]: 5000

[Curse of Vigor Lv.0]: 2375

"That´s a lot of Lv. 1 that I see there. Heck, the XP needed to level up increased by a whole another level!" Seeing the XP needed for all of this stuff I couldn´t help but curse internally.

Striking when you see my wallet full, huh?

"But still, it doesn´t look like I unlocked other skills to buy from my class advantage. Welp, nothing to be done I guess. I will just settle with the skills I got."

Although I said that I didn´t plan to increase the level of my skills first.

If I weren´t going to spend my XP to increase my skills level, then where will I spend it you ask?

Obviously.

To Increase my Level!

My goal...Level 20!

...

No, it isn´t because I am addicted to the evolution feeling!

Although I neither confirm nor denied it, I have a reason to increase my level!

Realy!

My goal isn´t to increase my attributes.

My true goal is to unlock the sub-class!

Although it is just a guess, I believe that at level 20 I can finally get my sub-class!

"Even if it isn´t at level 20, it has to be at best at level 23. If that Rapha guy who blew me away was able to get a subclass at the level of 23, then so should I..." Raising my hand I pressed towards the level-up screen.

[Level has increased from Lv.10 to Lv.11]

[Strenght Increased by 2, Agility Increased by 2, Intelligence Increased by 1, Endurance Increased by 2]

[You gained 2 Attribute points]

[Level Up]: 4000

"Oh? The attribute gains are a lot higher than before, even my intelligence increases now. Is it because of my evolution?" Seeing the attributes I got a little excited, but all that excitement has gone the moment I saw the +500 XP raise to level up...

Man, I know that you are after my wallet, but would it hurt to do it moderately!?

"Tch...It isn´t showing any mercy on my wallet..." Although I somehow felt grumpy about it. I had no other choice but to pay!

[Level has increased from Lv.11 to Lv.12]

[Level has increased from Lv.12 to Lv.13]

...

[Level has increased from Lv.19 to Lv.20]

[Strenght Increased by 18, Agility Increased by 18, Intelligence Increased by 9, Endurance Increased by 18]

[You gained 2 Attribute Points]

A total of 57500 XP spend in an instant!

But the pain that my wallet felt...

[In order to choose your Subclass, a mission has been assigned]

Was worth it!

[Mission: Kill someone who has a tier 2 class or a subclass to unlock the subclass option]

Reading through the mission I could only think of one thing...

"Ah, crap..." Seeing the mission I somehow felt bitter inside of me.

I hyped myself so much only to get an `access denied´ like answer!?

"Sigh...No point feeling upset over spilled milk. What is done is done."

Pushing away from the mission window, I looked at my XP storage.

[XP: 61900]

"Damn...I almost spend half the XP into this." I helplessly shook my head.

"I could increase my class level but I will pass this time around. After all, the skill also does need some love."

Without further ado, I started investing in my XP!

[You acquired Curse of Vigor Lv:1]

[Wind Blade level increase from Lv.1 to Lv.3]

[Shield Bash level Increased from Lv.1 to Lv.4]

[Sense Danger level Increased from Lv.1 to Lv. 3]

[Sprint level increased from Lv.1 to Lv.3]

[Remark: With your evolution of stepping through the Tier 2 Undead Although there is still a long way to reach. Your evolution broke the fate of you being as weak as a plain rock!]

"Alright, that should probably be enough for now. The rest 16825 XP I can save for rainy days. Wait...what was rain again...?"

Staring awarding through the cave ceiling I felt something was missing all of a sudden.

After some 5 long minutes, I got hold of myself.

"Right! I should prepare to leave" Getting of the stone table I gathered my thinks and went outside the cave.

"Alright!"

"Shield?" Check.

"Staff?" Check.

"Rusted armor?" Check.

"Awesome self-repair sword named Veren?" Check!

"I guess that´s it..." I slightly turned my head towards the shaman's cave.

"Although it wasn´t that long (I think)...It wasn´t that bad of a place to be"

With my shield on my left hand holding the casters staff and with my right arm holding the Veren sword I headed out fully equipped with some rusted armor from the head through toe!

You might ask where I got this garb- I mean armor from right?

Once upon these days when I was doing my breaks, I headed back into the lake to meet the skeleton that I freed before.

I mostly went out to meet him out of boredom but once I went back to the place he was trapped at I found no traces from this skeleton.

Although I felt somehow disappointed I mostly did it out of boredom so I didn´t mind too much.

But as I was going back to the surface a sudden idea hit me while looking at all the rusted armor down here.

And you guess right, I equipped the armor from the bottom of the lake into myself!

Since there was a vast amount of armor down there it made it possible to fully equipped me with rusted armor!

Not the best stuff.

But hey, Isn´t it better than just some piece of cloth that some goblins wore?

*2 Hours Later...

"Finally at the top floor where I was blown away..." Since my Agility has increased quite a lot it allowed me to reach the top floor faster than I had done before.

"Hmm, No sight of the Rapha guy or anything else...seems good to go" Walking away from the rock I was hiding at, I went out and explored the top floor.

But...

"There isn´t much to explore with only 1 path in sight. I somehow expected to see a similar number of paths at the top floor too but it doesn´t look like that is the case..."

After hesitating for a brief second, I walked towards the path.

"It should be fine...even If I were to meet this Rapha guy I should be able to easily win with my current self, the worst-case scenario I will have to run and dive to the lake again..."

After assuring myself I walked towards the path.

After walking for some amount of time I froze through the sight that I was seeing.

"That is a massive fricking gate!"

After all, a 10 meter high and wide iron door was in front of my sight!

*****

Outside the city of Nexvarres.

In the nearby forest of Nexvarres was a guard post that was placed at the Cursed Lake Dungeon.

A big orb inside a magic circle trembled.

And the orb started to make low noise.

*Ping, Ping~

Although slowly, the noise started to increase over time.

*Ping! Ping~!

Hearing that noise a soldier came and frown upon the sight of the orb

"What the....?"
