A Lich
Nikolai looked at the bloody camp. Three of the pirates dropped a crystal each, reminding the reason nations waged wars. There was a rule that made killing so desired.
The stats obtained are not yours.
This phrase didn't mean that stats are useless but that those who use many crystals have a higher chance of dropping them once they die. However, those who follow the path of slaughterers will be hunted down later on.
Nikolai walked toward the crystals and picked them up. Two Agility Crystals and one Strength Crystal. Nikolai pocketed them as he looked in the bags of the pirates.
He found a rough outline of the surrounding mountains and forest. The mapmaker made sure to pinpoint the location of their ship on the drawn map. It seems they abandoned their ship for now and decided to camp here.
