nChapter 93: Advancement! Night Walker

nTranslator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

nDeep in the Thousand Leaves Forest, on a hill with a small valley at the top covered in oak and locust trees.

nThe bottom of the hill was completely filled with weeds. A group of three stood in front of the hill, looking at the small stele visible amongst the weeds.

nThere were no words on that stele, and no one knew that it was the grave of the Night Monarch who had blessed people for so many years since the ancient era.

n

"There is a crypt under this.

"

n

"That place is the headquarters for the Night Walkers. Only at the most critical time can we start using this crypt.

"

n

"We have a pretty good relationship with the Thousand Leaves Forest’s elves, and especially with the Great Elven King Nicholas. He is one of the Night Monarch’s worshippers and has continuously taken care of our Night Walker organization.

"

nSean stood next to Marvin and gave him two wooden tiles.

nThis was a pass for the Thousand Leaves Forest. Only the wood elves’ allies could get one. Having a pass when walking in the Thousand Leaves Forest would not only make the Elven Iron Guard not trouble you, they would even offer their help extremely enthusiastically.

nThe Night Walker organization had been friends with the wood elves all this time. This was something Marvin hadn’t expected.

nHe had already felt that something was wrong earlier, but hadn’t expected that it was Sean testing him.

nHe coldly snorted, took the tiles and handed one to Kate.

nThis was part of the compensation Sean promised her.

nThe girl silently looked at the grave in front and suddenly asked,

"Is the Night Monarch a god?

"

nSean shook his head with a serious expression.

"Not at all.

"

n

"The Night Monarch is a greater existence than gods. He doesn’t need our belief. He had been blessing living beings bound by fear and death ever since the Eternal Night.

"

n

"He has no wish nor demand.

"

nKate nodded, no longer saying anything. Respect could be seen in her eyes when looking at the tombstone.

nBefore the Great Calamity, sorcerers’ lives were the harshest. Kate had felt this ever since she was a child.

nThey were exiled by wizards. From a fertile land, they were hurried to a savage border. Wizard fanatics would be even more ruthless and exterminate them. They believed that sorcerers’ powers came from devils. This was actually a very ignorant way of looking at it.

nAnd gods would also not bless sorcerers. This was an abandoned group of people.

nNaturally, sorcerers also didn’t have a very good opinion of the gods.

nBut the Night Monarch was clearly different from those arrogant gods. He would bless all living beings. This naturally included the sorcerers who didn’t have any support.

nThus she respected that powerhouse who had passed away.

n...

n

"Let’s start,

" Sean urged.

n

"We have to finish the baptism before dawn.

"

nMarvin nodded, somewhat excited.

nUnder Sean’s instructions, he quickly moved in front of the Night Monarch’s stele and knelt down.

nWith a solemn expression, he gently swiped the dust on the stele with his right hand.

nSean arrived behind him and also knelt and began whispering something.

nHe was using the Anzed language.

nOne of the most ancient languages in this world!

nMarvin could only roughly understand what he was saying. He was calling the soul of the Night Monarch.

nAnzed people believed that after great people died, their soul would neither enter the underworld nor the heavens, but instead wander around the human world.

nUnder the call of their kin or someone inheriting their will, those Sages’ souls could reappear.

nSean’s whispering became more unintelligible, but there seemed to be a force ripping through time and space!

nHe just heard him saying:

n

"Monarch of the Eternal Night in the endless space and time, please once again honor your promise.

"

n

"You gave me the night crown, and those who lead the Night Walkers no longer hesitate.

"

n

"You gave me the night eyes, to see though Fate’s mystery.

"

n

"You gave me the blessing of strength, to keep passing on the dark bird totem.

"

n

"I am already old and weak now, the torch has to be passed on.

"

nHe stopped there and gave Marvin a meaningful glance, hinting him to take it from there.

n

"Monarch of the Eternal Night in the endless space and time, please once again honor your promise.

"

n

"Grant this young self the night crown, night vision, and blessing of strength.

"

n

"When the eternal night arrives, there will always be a burning flame in Feinan.

"

nThis part of the Anzed ancient language was very hard to pronounce, but with Sean’s help, Marvin managed to smoothly read it aloud!

nThere seemed to be a pair of eyes opening in the dark.

nMarvin felt a strange gaze watching him.

nOn the originally blank stele, a green fire began to burn. From a distance, it would look like a will-o’-the-wisp.

nThe green flame spread from Marvin’s right hand to his whole body.

nSean’s eyes displayed a hint of happiness!

nThe Night Monarch’s will descended!

nMarvin had been acknowledged by the Night Monarch and the official baptism began.

nThis green fire was the remaining will of the Night Monarch in this world, after his death.

nMarvin would undergo a transformation!

n...

nAt that moment, Marvin only felt warm all over.

nThe green fire didn’t injure him, instead making him more comfortable.

nA log window immediately appeared:

nSpend 10000 experience (battle

/general) to advance to a 2nd rank class – Night Walker

nMarvin immediately chose to do so!

nWhy had he worked so hard? Wasn’t it to turn into a powerful Night Walker?

nBut he hadn’t expected that he would need so much experience!

nThe cost of leveling his ranger class to level 6 was 4800 exp!

nYet turning into a level 1 Night Walker was no less than 10000 exp!

nIt was fortunate that he had saved enough experience for this!

nMarvin currently had 7000 general exp and 5553 battle exp, enough to cover this huge experience requirement.

nBattle exp and general exp are the same, both the highest grade of exp, so neither had priority over the other. Thus Marvin chose to spend the 7000 general exp first and then spend 3000 battle exp.

nThe next second, the green fire began entering Marvin’s body.

nMarvin only felt an explosive strength flowing into him.

nLog messages kept popping one after the other!

nYou received the baptism of the Night Monarch (Soul Remains of a Sage)

nBaptism completed, you received a new class – Night Walker

nNight Walker level is currently 1

nYou received a class specialty – Nocturnal

nYour body has been transformed by the advancement, Dexterity 1, Perception 1, HP 50

nYou received 60 Class Skill Points for (Night Walker)

nYour class skill list has been updated…

nYou received the blessings of the Night Monarch (bonus)...

n...

nA large amount of messages kept popping up and Marvin couldn’t see for a while.

nThe green fire gradually disappeared. Marvin took a deep breath after feeling the presence of that pair of eyes disappearing.

n‘Finally advanced!’

nNocturnal Kill, the hidden specialty, indeed didn’t appear. Marvin knew it would appear once he had killed enough people in the night.

nAnd the class specialty Nocturnal was the Night Walker’s trademark.

nNocturnal: All attributes 10% at night, no change during the day.

n‘Eh?’

n‘No change during the day? Wasn’t there a 20% penalty during the day in the game?’

nMarvin discovered that the Night Walker’s specialty seemed a bit different from what he remembered.

nAt least the real world’s Night Walkers were stronger than those in the game.

nNo penalty in daytime, bonus in nighttime, this was simply too amazing!

nAll attributes 10% was already a very abnormal bonus by itself. It as equivalent to a pretty good bottle of medicine. And there was still Nocturnal Kill, an even stronger specialty.

nMarvin’s fighting strength at night would be off the charts!

nAnd his skill list got updated when he advanced.

nBesides ranger skills, he also had many Night Walker skills.

nHe was just level 1 right now, giving him only 5 or 6 skills, each of them extremely powerful.

nMarvin hesitated for a moment and spent 50 of his 60 SP on one skill!

nEternal Night (50): You can create a fake night for a short time during daytime.

nThis was a very powerful PK skill!

nMore outstanding that fighter’s Cloak of Darkness.

nCloak of Darkness created a black mist for a short duration, hindering the opponent’s line of sight. Eternal Night truly created the darkness of the night.

nThe amount of skill points would determine the range and duration.

n50 SP was enough to create night that would cover roughly 10 meters for 10 seconds.

nThis was enough for Marvin to quickly use a powerful combo.

nThe remaining 10 points were spent on another practical skill, Summon Night Crow.

nThis skill could summon a Night Crow at night to be used for reconnaissance. The skill’s base duration was 3 minutes and every additional skill point would increase the duration by 1 minute.

nIn other words, Marvin’s summoned Night Crow could last about 13 minutes.

nAs Marvin was happily enjoying his advancement, the girl on the side suddenly let out a surprised yelp.

nA small bit of ghostly fire was wrapping around her.

n
