As the pain in their heads subsided so did the consciousness of Klautz returned. It was as if he had never fainted in the first place.
He was confused beyond relief as he turned around and found everyone holding onto their treasures. On checking his status screen he realized that even he had received a class and skills
Bill approached him.
He donned a sword Klautz hadn't seen before.
A red sword with a cylindrical ruby embedded.
As the aura seemed to be out of the ordinary, Klautz assumed it was the reward he earned from passing through his trial.
As Klautz's gazed fixed on the sword, Bill awkwardly laughed.
"Ah, this sword? They gave it to me when I passed through the trial. It's a rank B item, the 'Sword of Extinction'.'"
A B rank gear was definitely a rare item in Hellfeim.
Even in a large guild, it was only given out to a few of their important members.
It wasn't an item a newbie could get.
Bill seemed quite triumphant about the fact that he earned a B rank equipment.
"Klautz, do you want to take a look at it?"
And so, he held out the shield.
Normally, it was common sense to not hand over your gear, even among your friends.
It meant that he wasn't completely contaminated by this world, but as Klautz was also curious, he took Bill's sword.
Name: Sword of Extinction
Rank: B
Classification: Equipable type
Durability: 8,500
Effect: You gain a 'Toughness' buff when you face more enemies.
"You got a quite decent item."
Klautz nodded his head.
Klautz turned his Status Viewer and checked his abilities.
Class –> Spirit Conjurer
Strength 27 (22 + 5) Agility 23 (20 + 3)
Stamina 24 (21 + 3) Intelligence 14 (11 + 3)
Defense 15 (12 + 3) Devil's Aura 13 (10 + 3)
Special Note: Devil's Aura has been awakened
'Ha.'
Spirit Conjurer...
Even Klautz himself was surprised at his development. However, unlike others, he hadn't received any weapons. But something was weird. Everything other than the Strength stat had +3 to it.
He checked his equipment to be sure and there it was.
Name Tosas's Demonic Spirit.
Rank: B
Classification: Summonable type
Durability: Unbreakable
Effect: +3 to all stats.
The living weapon can be molded into any shape and can be commanded at will
An unbreakable B rank...
It was a rare type of weapon only the leaders of the organizations could use.
The effect was also outstanding. The shape-shifting weapon is perfect for a ninja-like him. Every ninja has to use multiple weapons to complete its missions.
Shurikens, Ninjato, nunchucks, and whatnot...
But with this Klautz didn't need any of those. Simply speaking it was the best weapon for Klautz.
'The Sword of Extinction is nothing compared to this'
'With this, it seems like the boss battle will be much easier.'
His current stats exceeded far beyond his expectations.
He had expected a C rank weapon at most
Afterward, it seemed possible for him to go and retrieve his secret class.
'Anyways...'
He examined everything, except for the last one.
'Spirit Conjurer?'
When he opened his skill category, there was one as he expected.
Skill Title: Spirit Charm (A+)
Description – Your aura alone will attract spirits and they would do your bidding. Note that higher-ranked spirits cannot be tamed if the user's level is low.
Skill Title: Spirit Detection(D)
Description: Spirits are known to be sneaky. However, no spirits will escape your eyes.
<In your history, 'Embryonic Energy Holder(?)' had been recorded.>
<Another link has been created to continue your quest.>
<Quest Prove yourself as worthy of Devil's Aura.>
<If you could prove yourself would get a power greater than anyone else>
These were the messages that popped up as he checked his skill.
Klautz knitted his brows after reading all the messages.
Spirits...
They are treated as monsters in Hellfeim and only attack humans in dark places or in the darkness of the night. There shouldn't be any of those in the beginning area. So these skills are useless for him to obtain the special class.
But, the necessary qualification was a staggering A+ rank.
But what nagged him most was the attributes of Devil's aura.
He thought for a moment and decided it wasn't a bad idea.
If he could gain strength and achieve his goals, any means wasn't bad at all.
What Klautz truly wanted to do was save humanity.
But, it didn't mean that he wanted to save everyone. That's why Klautz didn't want to be a true warrior.
It suited him more to become a Devil-like warrior.
The problem was the method.
How he was going to become one.
'Someday I will achieve this.'
However, Klautz didn't really care.
That meant that it was possible to complete the quest.
"Big Brother. It says that I gained a new class."
Reena carefully approached him.
She then showed Klautz her status screen.
This is also considered forbidden in Hellfeim.
However, this wasn't even comparable to Bill giving his sword to him.
"Don't ever show your Status Screen to others."
"Okay..."
She sunk her head from Klautz's cold words.
But quickly raised her head to say...
"Then I will only show it to you, mister. After all, if I don't know what I have, I will still be in danger."
Klautz looked at Reena's eyes for a moment.
She really is a keen child.
And it wasn't as if her words were wrong.
Not knowing what you had was also dangerous.
He took a look at Reena's Status Screen.
Name: Reena Nelson
Class –> Paladin of Darkness (Demonic)
Strength 11 Agility 11
Stamina 11 Intelligence 11 Wisdom 11
Special Note: As long as light exists so will darkness
'So you could even receive a secret class.'
Paladin referred to maiden warriors who served a God.
It seemed like a special class only women could receive.
In the past, he had never heard of the Paladin of Darkness.
Moreover, all of them receiving these classes without going through any trial was itself weird.
That's probably why it was a secret class.
In the past, there were less than 100 people who had a secret class.
Just by looking at that, you could tell that they were well worth it.
It was as if Reena earned an incredible potential to grow.
Though there was a question regarding the last part.
As long as light exists so will darkness. It was indeed an ambiguous effect.
Does it mean that you will only get stronger as you fight in darkness?
However, Klautz just shook his head.
'I wonder what I should tell her about it
"The effect is unknown even to me. We will find more about it later. As of now, we should focus more on returning back before midnight falls.
Selena who was at the side had witnessed the whole scene. She bit her nails.
'He is only kind to that b*tch! Why does it act so cruel towards me! I am a hundred times more pretty!'
Selena hated to admit it, but she needed Klautz for her survival. Otherwise, she would have given him the cold shoulder especially after how he treated her.
She continued biting her nails thinking about a possible way out.
