Consequences

Baranor felt a sudden migraine appear as he started to think harder as to what was happening to his mental state. Baranor started to use all his will to clear his mind of these strange thoughts and focused on his target, the ghoul krul. Baranor not wasting anymore time ran to the ghoul krul as it was still on the ground, the ghoul krul sensing its demise made a loud roar to its fellow kin and commanded them to no matter what kill the man in front of them. The ghouls following this command all ran to their leader and attempted to jump onto Baranor, however the ghouls and talon under Baranor's command protected their liege fending off all the ghouls they could. Baranor looked at the ghoul krul that roared and grabbed it by its neck as it squirmed around trying to break free from Baranor's grasp.

"Surrender your will!" Baranor said as he started to dominate the ghoul

The ghoul krul started to screech as its eyes started to glow blue, however it wasn't the only one as Baranor's started to glow blue as well. Baranor's head started to spin, the little bit of will he had left was barely enough to keep him conscious, however Baranor knew that if he were to leave the ghoul krul alone he would lose this battle and be overwhelmed, so he had to succeed. The ghoul krul although in a weakened state and in no state to fight the domination still had its will intact refusing to be subjugated by this man. Baranor thinking he would win over this beast was shaken when it snarled and shook its head at him almost as if visibly rejecting his dominion, although Baranor was shocked by this he forced his will onto the beast further making it docile once more.

Baranor was struggling to subjugate the ghoul krul even though he wasn't losing any ground, he wasn't gaining any either which put him at a stand still in subjugating the beast mind. When Baranor thought he was breaking through the beast put up an even bigger fight, until eventually Baranor was becoming mentally exhausted and started to slowly lose ground in the beast mind. Just when Baranor believed it to be futile he felt a strange power emerge from the ring into his body and then.... darkness, Baranor believed himself to have failed and passed out.

Lunamir watching all this happened to witnessed how his user Baranor was struggling and beginning to fail and thought he should try to help Baranor subjugate this beast, unexpectedly he felt as if he was gaining control over Baranor instead of the beast. When all of a sudden Lunamir was now in Baranor's body, looking at the ghoul krul Lunamir quickly gained control of the beast mind and turned to truly experience the situation himself. The ghouls started to become disorganized following their last command to kill the being that was in front of them, slowly but surely making ground they finally made it to about 50 feet away from their leader. Yet something was amiss their leader simply stood next to the being who he was commanding to kill and did nothing. The ghouls found it strange as they kept looking at their leader who in turn looked at his new master.

"Command them to stop." Lunamir commanded

The ghoul krul immediately obeyed and gave out a loud screech which made all the ghouls except for Baranor's to tense up and freeze. The ghouls simply stood and watched as their leader commanded and not a moment later a few of them started to screech and fall to their knees. Lunamir looked at the horde of ghouls and was lost in thought as how they manage to live in this forest with so many of them thinking they would over hunt or destroy the surrounding nature. Lunamir thought to look into the ghoul kruls memories and his question was soon answered, the ecosystem around here was unique as the ghouls weren't gathered in one group all the time but was split into respective areas with a max of 50 ghouls within a certain distance. The ghouls also had natural predators that would hunt them evening out the playing field making sure their was never too many of them at a given time. Lunamir found this quite fascinating but put it in the back of his mind for now as he figured his thirst for knowledge could wait for later, and decided to test his newest skill.

-Lvl up + 4

-Skill: Enrage lvl 3- Had turned into: Wrath: Lvl 1

-Skill: Hive mentality lvl 5- Has turned into: Lords dominion: Lvl 1

-Skill: Acidic projectile Lvl 7- Has turned into: Blast of Light Lvl 1

-Stats +20 -Skill points +4 skill points

--------------------------------------

Lunamir still in use of Baranor's body looked at the new skills and levels quite satisfied but still slightly lack luster, the more Lunamir thought about it he figured he could only get one skill from a certain species if their were no individuality. Lunamir also figured the reason his level didn't increase as much was because ghouls didn't have any real intelligence, as the ghoul krul which gave Lunamir 2 levels, but Lunamir thought with the sheer number he should have got more, Lunamir decided to investigate it later and get on with the skill test. 

"First off, Wrath!" Lunamir said feeling quite strange as he heard Baranor's voice instead of the one he believed his to sound like

Lunamir activated wrath as the eyes on all of those he commanded glowed blue, Lunamir watching this and not really seeing an effect decided to check one of the stats of a ghoul. Here the effects showed themselves as all the ghouls stats increased by 10% and it had an affect of no exhaustion or care for its own well being. The skill wrath would put all those under his command under a controlled frenzy still responsive but disregarding their well being and under any circumstance, ending the being their master told them to kill. Lunamir tried to just use it on one of the ghouls and surprisingly it worked, curious if it cost any form of mana to activate he checked and it would only use the being who went under the use of the skills mana as it would forcefully pump their mana supply through their bodies while also having the attribute of the rings making it extremally cost efficient.

Next on the list was the skill lords dominion which as it sounded simply made it so those under his command would obey all orders. Lunamir thought that this skill was simply useless and tossed it aside for the time being, to either be forgotten or used at a later date. Next on the list was blast of light which, when used summoned a ball of fire made of pure white, this ball of fire was surprisingly not only hot, but it had a number of uses as well, when smashed onto the ground it would produce a large shockwave or when exploded it would flash a bright light blinding those watching. Lunamir satisfied with the result looked at his current stats and skills and decided to use up his new stock of points.

--------------------------------

---------------------------------

-Stats

--------------------------------

Lunamir decided to once again split his stat points evenly and kept 4 extra stats, in total 6 unallocated stats for emergencies. Lunamir started looking at his current skills and was contemplating on what he should upgrade when he got a sudden idea. 

'Can I get rid of the Lord dominion skill?' Lunamir thought

While Lunamir was thinking hard on how to accomplish this as he had no idea on how to get rid of a skill. Eventually Lunamir just started to see if willing it would do anything and sadly it did nothing, Lunamir looked disappointed and realized that simply willing everything wasn't going to make everything come true. Lunamir wasn't disheartened and looked through all his skills that he should invest in and thought which one would help his current situation, as he was thinking about this he started to feel the uncomfortably of pain and discomfort from injuries feeling weakened and not used to pain Lunamir sat down as a realization hit him.

'Why don't I upgrade the healing skill I have!' Lunamir thought as he put 3 skill points into Light of salvation

Once he upgraded the skill he thought of something all of a sudden.

'Wait if I can transform new skills into one of my attribute can I add skills of the same attribute to make new skills?' As Lunamir thought this he started to focus on the feeling he had when he came in contact with a new skill

All of a sudden a prompt popped up

-----------------------------

-Combine skill: Lords dominion with skill: Light of salvation?

------------------------------

'Yes!' Lunamir thought just for another prompt to pop up that surprised him
