Chapter 300
Added 2019-09-12 15:47:17 +0000 UTCAuthor's note September 24th: Hey all, new chapters up and more hopefully coming Thursday (traveling so maybe Friday).
Chapter 300
She didnt let herself relax until she had reached the wall leading to the higher part of Tremor. Blood was flowing down her leg, the wound closing when she finally realized. Ilea continued towards her house and blinked through the wall, armor replaced by comfortable clothes before she landed on her bed. Fuck thats gonna leave a stain , She looked at her leg but found the bleeding had already stopped, the shin reforming slowly.
Her vision was blurry and she realized her hands were shaking. Meditation flowed through her immediately, Ilea sitting up and resting her back on the wall behind her. Fucking hell. She repeated the words three times before her hands had calmed down. The knight had done serious damage to her other leg and her arm, both mostly mush except for her bones. Another set of armor fucked. Checking her messages, the fist thing she saw made her squint her eyes before she started laughing. Damn long legged fuckers.
ding Fear Resistance reaches lvl 9
It took her a minute to calm down completely, meditation still helping her out with that. Close fucking call you damn idiot. Another part of her shrugged and thought it was worth it. In the end she had survived, as she did before. Maybe she would have survived anyway, even if she hadnt been able to cut off her leg. The wide smile on her face said enough.
Lifting her back, she sat down on the bed cross legged and summoned one of Keylas meals, the smell of the warm and spicy dish immediately overshadowing the blood and sweat clinging to her body. Now, lets fucking mutate.
ding You have defeated [Undead Rose Knight lvl 518] For defeating an enemy two hundred and ten or more levels above your own, bonus experience is granted
ding Azarinth First Hunter has reached lvl 300 Five Stat points awarded. One tier 3 skill point awarded
ding Inheritor of Eternal Ash has reached lvl 300 Five Stat points awarded. One tier 3 skill point awarded
ding Azarinth Fighting reaches 3rd lvl 5
ding Ash and Ember Manipulation reaches 3rd lvl 5
And both classes at the same time, fucking perfect. Trying to spend the third tier skill points first didnt seem to work, both showing no skills to advance. Requirements should be met. Maybe its tied to the evolutions in some way. On with it then.
ding Requirements met for class evolution: Azarinth First Hunter becomes Azarinth Elder. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -
You have pushed yourself to the pinnacle of humanity and thus deserve to carry the name of Elder. Leveled at least five Azarinth skills to the end of the second tier. Carries the skill Meditation at the end of the second tier. Has an Azarinth class at level 300 or higher.
The Elders of the Azarinth Order pave the way to the future. Conquest and expansion are theirs to plan and execute. They have the power to rebuild what was lost. Known to be strategic minds, an elder leading a group of Azarinth Healers might very well be unstoppable.
Would you like to evolve your class [Azarinth First Hunter] to [Azarinth Elder]?
How about absolutely fucking not? Conquest and expansion my ass.
ding Requirements met for class evolution: Azarinth First Hunter becomes Beast of Azarinth. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -
Your blood lust permeates all. Leveled at least eight Azarinth skills to the end of the second tier. Destruction and Azarinth Fighting in the third tier. Has killed at least 1000 higher leveled beings. Has sustained 1000 heavy injuries. Has an Azarinth class at level 300.
Far from the path of the once powerful healing order, they have chosen to seek their own power and the destruction of life itself. Fueled by hatred and blood the Beast of Azarinth marches on, unable to find or bring peace. Forbidden magic of Death corrupts the power once destined to heal and mend.
Would you like to evolve your class [Azarinth First Hunter] to [Beast of Azarinth]?
Come on guys its not that bad is it? At least its not a thousand kids , She at least thought about it thanks to the death magic mention. Maybe an Azarinth and Death magic combination? If she had to chose between Elder and Beast, the choice was clear at least. Corrupts does that mean no more healing at all? That would suck.
ding Requirements met for class evolution: Azarinth First Hunter becomes Azarinth Pioneer. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -
Adventure is your second name. Leveled ten Azarinth skills to the end of the second tier. Has traveled where no human dares to go, has survived natural dangers capable of decimating armies. Founded a settlement or discovered a lost city. Has an Azarinth class at level 300.
The Pioneer has chosen their own path, discovering the forgotten and perfecting their skills and powers. Be it erupting volcanoes, the waves of the ocean or blizzards cold enough to freeze their very blood, nothing will stop their want for adventure. Powerful regeneration and constitution come with their mantle.
Would you like to evolve your class [Azarinth First Hunter] to [Azarinth Pioneer]?
Ilea was starting to get a little annoyed at how shit these classes seemed, Surviving natural dangers and not a mention of Resistances? Not even one needed? I swear on my enjoyment of food if these arent getting better ,
ding Requirements met for class evolution: Azarinth First Hunter becomes Azarinth Destroyer. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -
You have no equal in battle. Leveled ten Azarinth skills to the end of the second tier. Has Destruction, State of Azarinth and Azarinth Fighting in the third tier. Has killed an enemy above level 500. You have fought hordes of enemies above your own level and prevailed. Has the Azarinth First Hunter class at level 300.
The Destroyer is a rare sight to behold. A master of Azarinth Magic, each strike powerful and with intent. They move over the battlefield with grace, leaving nothing behind. The true power of the Azarinth Order or anybody they would choose to join. Their Strength is second to none, cracking even steel with their fists.
Would you like to evolve your class [Azarinth First Hunter] to [Azarinth Destroyer]?
Thats more like it baby. Fighting, level five hundred beast and a focus on fighting with ones fists.
ding Requirements met for class evolution: Azarinth First Hunter becomes The Azarinth Wayfarer. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -
The unfathomable. Leveled ten Azarinth skills to the end of the second tier. Has Blink and State of Azarinth in the third tier. Has killed an enemy above level 600. Has traveled to another realm and returned. Has the Veteran skill at level 5 or higher. Speaks two languages. Has the Azarinth First Hunter class at level 300.
The Azarinth Wayfarer has grasped the impossible nature of magic, has crossed the boundaries between realms. True understanding will follow those unwilling to accept the status quo. They are a master of their surroundings, of space itself.
Would you like to evolve your class [Azarinth First Hunter] to [Azarinth Wayfarer]?
Space mage seems pretty fucking far off what Ive been doing all this time. How many have missed this possible evolution because they werent bilingual? She chuckled at the thought and continued her bloody reading homework.
ding Requirements met for class evolution: Azarinth First Hunter becomes Azarinth Regenerator. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -
More monster than man. Leveled eight Azarinth skills to the end of the second tier. Has Hunter Recovery and State of Azarinth in the third tier. Has killed ten enemies above level 500. Has ten Resistance skills at level 5 or higher. Has Pain Tolerance in the second tier. Has lost either head or all limbs in battle before recovering. Has the Azarinth First Hunter class at level 300.
The Azarinth Regenerator fears no enemy. Be it ice or fire, they stand against it unmoving. Bearers of the pain they have suffered, unwilling to accept defeat. Virtually unkillable they are prepared to face whatever may move into their path, their bodies mere weapons, tools to be used.
Would you like to evolve your class [Azarinth First Hunter] to [Azarinth Regenerator]?
Ilea sighed, Well at least its not called the Azarinth Masochist. Tools to be used might as well be. She had a smirk on her face before she moved to the next one.
ding Requirements met for class evolution: Azarinth First Hunter becomes Avenger of Azarinth. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -
A hunter unmatched. Leveled ten Azarinth skills to the end of the second tier. Has Destruction, Azarinth Fighting and State of Azarinth in the third tier. Has killed ten enemies at full power above level 400 while alone. Has five General skills in the second tier. Has participated in acts of revenge, found and killed those responsible. Has lost limbs in the midst of battle and continued the fight. Has the Azarinth First Hunter class at level 300.
An avenger stopping at nothing to bring justice to those deserving. Judge and executioner, powerful and deadly enough to hunt down any target they deem unworthy. Unstoppable and fueled by the magic of Azarinth, healing any injury that might delay them, their bodies mere arbiters of revenge.
Would you like to evolve your class [Azarinth First Hunter] to [Avenger of Azarinth]?
Flashes of the Birmingales went through her mind, Eve lying dead in her bed and the old man asking her to spare the girls. What was his name again? She shook her head, breathing in hard and focusing on the task at hand. Requirements are pretty high and finally a mention of killing something alone. Healing might be enhanced and theres at least talk about ones own body. She saw there was only one option remaining, the avenger probably her favorite for now.
ding Requirements met for class evolution: Azarinth First Hunter becomes The Azarinth Sentinel. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -
Life and Death. Leveled ten Azarinth skills to the end of the second tier. Has Destruction, Hunter Recovery, Azarinth Fighting and State of Azarinth in the third tier. Has killed ten enemies at full power above level 500 while alone. On their own, has faced hordes of enemies above their own level and prevailed. Has fifteen or more Resistance skills in the second tier, two or more at the highest level. Has helped and healed strangers of various races, unasked for or even meeting hostility. Risked their life for others on multiple occasions. Has the Azarinth First Hunter class at level 300.
The Azarinth Sentinel has reached the pinnacle of Azarinth magic, mastering its style while not forgetting their roots. A healer at heart they seek to mend the wounds of those they deem close and strangers alike. True veterans of battle they have chosen a path most peculiar. Savior to one and Destroyer to another. Their bodies forged into weapons, their mana overpowering all. A force of their own, to decide on the fate of beings.
Would you like to evolve your class [Azarinth First Hunter] to [The Azarinth Sentinel]?
Ilea shifted her attention back to her food, the smell of the spicy orange sauce with potatoes and vegetables making her stomach rumble. She looked at the bowl, the rice still steaming even after all that reading. Did I really heal so many strangers? Risked my life for others? None of her actions seemed out of the ordinary. This whole world of course was ridiculous. She had turned into a survivor here, a murderer, hunter. Savior? Fuck that. She was quite aware that the same line read Destroyer as well.
Besides the first couple possibilities, the rest seemed exceptional. Destroyer, Wayfarer, Regenerator, Avenger, Sentinel. Each with their own specialty, each with increasingly high demands. She asked herself whether there would have been another class if she had ten resistances at the end of the second tier or if the Sentinel description would have simply required ten at that point. Would there have been another class had she killed ten level six hundred beasts alone? Possibly.
Most of the classes required her to be at level 300, making it hardly reasonable to get anything new at this point. She had chosen to reach 300 now and these were her choices. Sentinel has the hardest achievements listed. Pinnacle of Azarinth magic, bodies forged into weapons ,
What am I a fucking paladin? She chuckled and started eating, savoring every bite as she crushed it with her teeth, the taste and smell making her forget the choice for some blissful seconds. Regenerator doesnt seem to grant a lot of offensive potential and I cant see how more regeneration would change anything drastically at this point. Wayfarer is cool but with my focus on fighting instead of the study of magic and teleportation, I think Ill pass. Destroyer seems to be a Sentinel Light with a focus on strength.
She pondered, And Avenger is pretty vague. How often have I actually needed to be a hunter. I feel like most monsters and people were found easily enough. It could help with the Lily ,
This is annoying. Sentinel is the best choice if I look at the requirements. She scribbled into her notebook, comparing the classes with bullet points, ignoring all the blabbering about justice, death and revenge. She had to admit that Sentinel was also the best one with its power descriptions. Other than Healer at heart, the rest was pretty straightforward. Well mana overpowers all is a little weird too. But there is a specific mention of ones body. Maybe its talking about mana intrusion?
She felt a little queasy, putting away the food as she got up and walked to the hole in the wall, once a window. It was dark outside, the sound of a distant explosion barely audible. That fucking elf. She thought, a smile on her face. Did you level all those resistances for nothing? She asked herself and sighed. Somehow it just didnt feel right. None of them did. Hunter unmatched, arbiter of revenge. Thats just as fucking stupid. Closing her eyes, Ilea tapped her lip with her finger. Life and Death. A force of their own, to decide on the fate of beings. Ah fuck it, if that is what a bloody Sentinel does then I will decide on my own fate. She said to herself and accepted the class evolution.
ding Class change: Azarinth First Hunter becomes The Azarinth Sentinel
Vitality +30
Strength +15
Dexterity +15
Intelligence +30
Wisdom +20
Body enhancement magic is improved by 300%
All healing magic skills are improved by 200%
Natural health regeneration is increased by 1% per minute
Food, water and sleep needed to sustain yourself are reduced
Ilea felt the weight of the decision fall off her. This was the road she had taken and she would stand by that. Ignoring the fact that another evolution was yet to come, she instead smiled at the additional 100% improvement to her body enhancements as well as healing skills. The additional stats were welcome as well but a drop in the bucket compared to what she had gained through leveling alone. Seven levels worth if Im right.
Skills changed by The Azarinth Sentinel:
[Destruction] becomes [Absolute Destruction]
Active: Absolute Destruction 3rd lvl 9:
Send a destructive pulse of mana into your enemy with every punch or kick. Your Intelligence stat enhances the damage potential.
2nd stage: The amount of mana used per strike can be regulated with a maximum of 100 mana per strike. You may charge each strike whilst unmoving with 100 mana per second to a maximum of 3000 mana.
3rd stage: Due to the healing nature of Destruction it partially ignores protection against Mana intrusion.
Category: Healing
So if Im reading this right the mana per strike was increased from 20 to 100 plus I can charge it. While unmoving but still. And the 100% increase for healing skills should apply here as well. Quite a power up, costs a bunch more mana too but with my regeneration . She smiled, already itching to test it out on some unfortunate undead.
[Hunter Recovery] becomes [Sentinel Reconstruction]
Active: Sentinel Reconstruction 3rd lvl 12:
Send a healing pulse of mana into yourself or your ally with a touch. This skill can be channeled.
2nd stage: Your control is increased greatly, you can now focus your healing on specific parts of the body. As long as mana and health remains, your Sentinel Reconstruction will restore your body. Lose your head and see for yourself! Health loss and critical blows are recalculated due to the nature of your healing.
3rd stage: You have healed your body time and time again, knowing every cell and where it belongs. Sacrifice a large amount of mana to rush your healing to unprecedented speeds. Lack of knowledge about your body may result in heavy damage.
Category: Healing
The mention of healing myself being vastly superior to healing others was removed. She noted, as well as the new line about health loss and critical blow calculation. I hope that doesnt mean its worse on myself now. She would test it later but with her healing getting another 100% bonus from the class change, she assumed it would at least even out. How many changes did I get last time? This is ridiculous , She thought as she scrolled a little further down in her mind, going back to her Sentinel Reconstruction. Well Im not going to complain ,
[State of Azarinth] becomes [Azarinth Awakening]
Active: Azarinth Awakening 3rd lvl 10:
Your body glows with the power of Azarinth, increasing your resilience, speed, Intelligence and Strength by 75% [450%].
2nd stage: Your sight, hearing and sense of smell is also affected by Azarinth Awakening
3rd stage: You are one with the Azarinth. The skills upkeep has been removed. Instead you may overcharge it with your lifes energy. The amount depends on both skill level and health used.
Category: Aura Body Enhancement
Holy fuck. Ilea was nearly shedding tears, all the work form over a years ridiculous efforts had paid off tenfold. It boosts Intelligence now? A 450% increase meant her Intelligence should be at around three thousand. Coupled with Destructions increases , Plus it seemed the base percentage had been increased again, from 35% to 50%, each level in the skill giving a 0.5% added boost. What else do you have for me, beloved Sentinel. Ilea was in a rush.
[Azarinth Hunter Sphere] becomes [Sentinel Sphere]
Active: Sentinel Sphere 2nd lvl 20
Perceive everything in a sphere around you while this skill is activated. The higher the level the further the sphere reaches.
2nd stage: The Sentinel Sphere opens your senses to the arcane, a paramount skill both on and off the battlefield.
Category: Aura Perception Aura
Well thats the first one to remove some good stuff. No more senses dialing and I loved just ignoring all the blood and guts around me. No more trap detection and hidden paths either. For a mana sense? She didnt know how to feel about it at the moment. The sense for hidden things had helped her plenty so far, losing that suddenly wasnt planned. Makes sense though, switching from the Hunter to something else. Ill survive it I guess. Have so far, even without this paramount skill.
[Body of the First Hunter] becomes [Sentinel Core]
Passive: Sentinel Core 2nd lvl 20:
Your body was changed by magic. All pain is reduced greatly. You body is 40% [320%] more durable. You heal even fatal injuries without help of healing magic. Your natural Health regeneration is improved by 120% [960%].
2nd stage: The magic of Azarinth settles inside your body. Your resistance to magical damage is increased by a static 25% [200%] and your bones are three times as heavy and dense.
Category: Healing Body Enhancement
Well fuck me what are those numbers?? Ilea started scribbling but it didnt make sense until she realized that the category changed from just healing to healing and body enhancement, giving an additional 500% increase in power to the skill. 320% more durable what does that even mean. And magic damage resistance above 100%? Is there like a hidden baseline that is now increased two fold instead of a simple 25% increase normally? It had been at 50% before but Ilea was pretty sure the damage she sustained wasnt halved after getting the skill. Or was it? Well further testing is definitely required.
The ridiculous multiplier to her natural health recovery was just another bonus. She had to test it of course but it should at least equal to a couple free health points every second, instead of the ridiculously slow recovery normal people had.
[Hunters Sight] becomes [Sentinel Huntress]
Passive: Sentinel Huntress 2nd lvl 20
Huntress turned Sentinel. Your eyes are unmatched and so is your nose. Perceive the smallest irregularities in your surroundings as well as the ambient mana to find clues about your targets whereabouts.
2nd stage: You gain a sense for the distress in the people around you. Amplify this by sacrificing mana.
Category: Body Enhancement
Ambient mana added as a detection source? And that new second tier might actually do something compared to before. Is it like a sixth sense to gauge the mood in a room or something?
Well, thats a bunch of new stuff to play with , Ilea commented and continued scribbling into her notebook, deciding to wait with testing until all the changes were through. Already, she felt lighter, stronger, the mana around her body tangible, a blue hue in constant motion, now, what kind of classes does my ashen side have in store?
Author's note September 12th: Aaaand we made it to 300, yey! Seeing the end of this one I will move ahead Saturday's chapters to tomorrow. Let me know about any mistakes I might have made in this one :).
Hope you enjoyed it!
Comments
"Perceive the smallest irregularities in your surroundings" <--- maybe that whole "detect trap" loss from her sphere's change isn't a permanent as she thought?
Craig
2019-10-05 22:35:11 +0000 UTCAnnnnnd 200 also thanks for the chapter
Nathanuel Vine
2019-09-13 10:00:29 +0000 UTCThere's already no title :P
G. Harthane
2019-09-13 09:25:55 +0000 UTCit's todays update!
ArturScott
2019-09-13 09:25:32 +0000 UTCI want to like this twice. Looks like a massive power up is fantastic. Now its realistic for her to compete against all those stupidly high levelled beings (like 700+) without needing her level to be 500. Super psyched for tomorrows update!
FusedBump96
2019-09-13 09:17:35 +0000 UTCI wonder if she will end up with a 3rd class option
Morog T Tiny
2019-09-13 09:15:50 +0000 UTCAt least tell us who or what azarinth is... watch it be a dragon lol
Ben Kontyko
2019-09-13 09:01:06 +0000 UTCi think author will tell us later at least i hope so.
ArturScott
2019-09-13 08:46:37 +0000 UTCWonder why and how the order died out. Massive battle? Hinted by the hidden meeting chamber. Image 100 Azarinth Healers Level 200 - 300 fighting in mass.
Josh McDonnell
2019-09-13 08:44:01 +0000 UTCMaybe make title '300' instead of 'Chapter 300'.
David Brims
2019-09-13 08:04:45 +0000 UTCHoly moly. Worth the friggin wait. Can G Harthane or someone do up a stat comparison for before and after both class changes so we can see the massive difference s. Pls pls pls
Benjamin
2019-09-13 07:11:56 +0000 UTCit's fair to assume that basically every class would have stat modifiers, they might not be as op but the mage classes wouldnt need to focus so much on phys stats

2019-09-13 04:48:07 +0000 UTCChapter 67 if you want to check
PloofDoodle
2019-09-13 04:44:33 +0000 UTCWould be amazing if we just got a surprise post rn on the next chapter
Ben Kontyko
2019-09-13 03:56:02 +0000 UTCShe will not. I guarantee it. lol Not that I know mind you. I just know.
Jonathan
2019-09-13 02:51:21 +0000 UTCThank you for changing the "Body of" skill -- now Sentinel Core -- to Body Enhancement magic (like I kinda always thought it should be, lol). I thought it would/should be ridiculous and would help explain why she healed so much faster than she can heal other people. Of course, you left in the healing bonus as well, so it is, in fact, ludicrous. The skill has gone plaid.
Jonathan
2019-09-13 01:17:53 +0000 UTCSo does anyone else think the "Harmony of the Drowned" will play a role in her best Ash class options? Combined with mist and ice resistances, she might have something making her especially resistant to elements.
Roethan
2019-09-13 00:47:18 +0000 UTCThe number of requirements for a class seems to correlate directly with its rarity/quality. Azarinth Elder has 4 requirements. Beast, Pioneer, and Destroyer have 5. Wayfarer, Regenerator, and Avenger have 7. Sentinel has 9. I'm pretty sure the same pattern held true for previous class evolutions, though I'd have to check.
rkdesc
2019-09-13 00:33:24 +0000 UTCit's like a whole new chapter!
Seb
2019-09-13 00:30:34 +0000 UTCG: Maybe make the Chapter title '300' instead of 'Chapter 300'?
David Brims
2019-09-13 00:14:28 +0000 UTCIntelligence and Strength by 75% [450%] Strength: 515 x 450% = 2,832 Intelligence: 630 x 450% = 3,465 Basically she has stat points of Level 1,000
Josh McDonnell
2019-09-12 23:50:56 +0000 UTCGood lord, you know you're finally stronk as fuq when you can go to low level zones and stand around while mobs attack you because your natural regen is so high. Very important milestone. OP regen+defense core is OP.
Loipers
2019-09-12 23:40:04 +0000 UTCLoved it hope for healer tag return
Max P Sutton
2019-09-12 23:26:24 +0000 UTCThat might synergize pretty well with her wings and headless-healing skills
Seb
2019-09-12 23:06:25 +0000 UTCNice catch.
2019-09-12 22:52:34 +0000 UTCHuh. The Azarinth Sentinel The Azarinth Wayfarer All other classes don't have the 'the'. Might be she is the first Azarinth Sentinel.
Arkeus
2019-09-12 22:49:10 +0000 UTCI think it's because of the conditions. It's kind of assumed that the more specific the conditions, the stronger the class, which puts sentinel miles above wayfarer. Also it seems like more of a mage class, which she doesn't want
Seb
2019-09-12 22:44:41 +0000 UTCBut just think; we're going to have to wait all the way from Friday until Tuesday.
Jonathan
2019-09-12 22:42:57 +0000 UTCBastard.... Bastard.., You Bastard......, You F**king Bastard, You Bastard........... noooooo!!!!!! I cannot wait. BASTARD. I think I love you. bastard. i can't wait. Night-Night

Zachary Smith
2019-09-12 22:06:09 +0000 UTCCongrats on 300 chapters for level 300! The new class seems very cool, and I can't wait to see what the ashen class upgrade is! I wonder if she can even cut her own limbs off now, given the durability increases...
Neal OHara
2019-09-12 21:48:08 +0000 UTCIt used to be 100% In Azarinth Healer/First Hunter. So it got +100%. So it's effectively +50% (Going from x2 to x3).
Arkeus
2019-09-12 21:35:24 +0000 UTC"And the 100% increase for healing skills should apply here as well. " => It's 200% increase for healing skills
Vallgar
2019-09-12 21:19:48 +0000 UTCI'd think we can only say it's broken because we have not gotten to see other classes at 300
Jack Stiles
2019-09-12 21:08:23 +0000 UTCSentinal is super cool. I thought she'd go destroyer personally, for the more raw power.
Jack Stiles
2019-09-12 21:05:25 +0000 UTCdamm i neeeeed moreeeeeeeeeee .... Oo tomorrow well I will be waiting.... for now... (and congrats for 900 Patrons)
T.Tandstad
2019-09-12 20:16:41 +0000 UTCContrarily I wonder if she's strong enough to not need armor now! Haha. And I'm not sure the Ancient armor was actually made to be used. Maybe I'll be surprised though. Definitely something to discover there. Her armor has to be susceptible to mana intrusion for her to use her Azarinth abilities, and it keeps getting chopped up and being a hindrance anyway. Her durability should be to the point where she'd have to find some truly spectacular armor for it be worth using constantly now. There should be other possibilities with enchantments. A lot really hasn't been explored.... don't think we've even seen a mana potion.
Rip Woodham
2019-09-12 20:16:15 +0000 UTCwow 120 replies already this was truly hyped
Han Pol
2019-09-12 20:07:21 +0000 UTCI don't think anyone mentioned it yet, but maybe now she is strong enough to start using her ancient tier armor. Her current set is basically trash now, it gets wrecked every fight with a strong enemy, and now that she just got such a huge power boost it won't even really protect her at all anymore. Her veil, body, and healing probably just made it more obsolete than it already was. If she can wear the ancient set though, it should actually provide protection, not to mention make her punch like a literal train. She will probably be better able to figure out how to use it with her new mana perception.

2019-09-12 19:52:30 +0000 UTCit replaced +15 on all
fuble878
2019-09-12 19:42:26 +0000 UTCLots of nice options. Liked seeing them! I'm glad she's going back to her Azarinth roots. The Hunter skills were neat, but it's always seemed off to me. Hunter? She's a fighter. And a healer! Savior. Destroyer! :-D And going back to a healer tag would be cool. Or a new tag. Miss the confusion and awe. Definitely more unusual. Figured she'd get another skill and have to lose something though. Hunter passive is still there.... meh about it. Sphere > it. Or at least the description. Love the other changes to her skills. I think the part that changed in Reconstruction will mean she effectively takes less damage, esp from critical blows. I have to say the scaling of everything is insane now! And her Sphere is a definite improvement IMO! Still aware of everything around her. Ton of potential with the change to the 2nd tier. Remember she dropped the magic perception passive early on. Mana is the core of the Azarinth class. Pure mana, not elements. So glad she chose a purist evolution. And it really paid in dividends with the scaling. Destruction is HUGE now. Finally as strong as its name. And then she's got Ash for her element creation and manipulation. Thanks for making the next release come sooner. You rock!

2019-09-12 19:40:10 +0000 UTCNo new skills to possibly exchange? Also, the new stats may be a drop in the bucket, but 30+15+15+30+20 =/= 7 more levels unless I'm missing something.
Hasome
2019-09-12 19:17:37 +0000 UTCAs said earlier this is about bringing her to the next step. She has encountered creatures that can push Veteran skill past 20 and things she cannot tank or damage in any way shape or form. Here we see a opportunity to tank the previously untankable. Next is probably more about damaging what was previously invincible. A third class would probably be more utility like space magic, adventure or something else to fill the gap of missing finding the hidden she just lost. She’s usually alone and that forces her to be everything. Unless this changes in the future she’s a entire DND party in 1.

2019-09-12 19:17:29 +0000 UTCDidn't want to sound ungrateful thank so much!!! Amazing chapter I hope she does do exploration though that's my favorite theme of this novel followed of course by the fighting.
2019-09-12 18:56:18 +0000 UTCUgh I can't wait that loooong Friday need to come sooner
2019-09-12 18:54:57 +0000 UTCThanks for the 300! And thank you so much for having a schedule. I read a lot of other stories that don't have this, so I just wanted you to know it's appreciated!
Torbjørn Nilsen
2019-09-12 18:46:37 +0000 UTCJust realized that body durability and magical resistance should also apply to ash touching her. I guess she really doesn't need armour anymore, especially after whatever the Ash Class upgrade gives her.
Atlas Dwarf
2019-09-12 18:46:18 +0000 UTCOn the less fanboy side... I do feel that the numbers are quite broken, especially the natural health regeneration. But I trust you to make them interesting in the story regardless, and mostly just read them as a big buff to her defense and offensive combat power, along with the ability to detect mana with the sphere.
Chymor
2019-09-12 18:46:03 +0000 UTCAmazing OwO
Adamus Papa
2019-09-12 18:34:28 +0000 UTCKinda hoped we would see both classes in one go
PloofDoodle
2019-09-12 18:33:42 +0000 UTCI know she hasn’t really spaced her ash skills for it, but I’m still crossing my fingers for an ash variant “Phoenix” like class. You know you want it, just ignite the burning core the current ash class speaks of and be reborn :)
Chymor
2019-09-12 18:30:22 +0000 UTCWith her boost to Intelligence and her boost to destruction you're looking at more than 10X the damage from destruction alone.
Chopper
2019-09-12 18:19:03 +0000 UTCI strongly suspect that her highest option for the Ash evolution will be body enhancement improvement + improvement to the 8 ash tentacles skills... Logic is this: this is basically what she got here - 2 most used things got upgraded - mana pulse and body enhancement --> healing/damaging and tougher body.
Alexander Belousov
2019-09-12 18:17:35 +0000 UTCNah the king already went over it third classes happen due to crazy achievements of some sort after level 300 and aren’t as powerful as normal classes (my guess is that means they only give maybe 1 or 2 stat points a level and maybe only have like 4-6 skill slots) he also said he killed one of those soul flayer things and didn’t unlock one so I doubt llea has access to one yet
Tommy Littlefield
2019-09-12 18:17:23 +0000 UTCI really like the writing because of things like this: a truly great *unchosen* path makes for great writing - possibilities that were cut off.
Alexander Belousov
2019-09-12 18:15:04 +0000 UTCI was thinking... Where to go first, to get acclimated to changes? Safest option is probably to go to Taleen Dungeon and kill a few dozens Centurions. :D But then again, I always prefer safest option. Which is different from Ilea.
Alexander Belousov
2019-09-12 18:10:50 +0000 UTCWelp, that's A LOT more healing and resistance. AND we STILL have another evolution, damn.
Jonathan Caselli
2019-09-12 18:10:25 +0000 UTCOoooh please give us both the ash class evolution and the new skill tier upgrades tomorrow. I want her to upgrade her new sphere and her ashen wings!
2019-09-12 18:09:27 +0000 UTCWell, that's ignoring Form of Ash and Ember that also increases her STR, but yes if we only count awakening.
Arkeus
2019-09-12 18:08:07 +0000 UTCI'm thinking IF after the ashen evolution she can get 3rd class unlock?
ArturScott
2019-09-12 18:05:56 +0000 UTChealer doesn't really fit her she has one healing skill and lot's of fighting skills. hmm wonder if anybody has ever seen a [Paragon]
Han Pol
2019-09-12 17:56:24 +0000 UTCThe math for her figuring out her intelligence is off. We've seen "Boosted by 100%" as a bonus of the classes before. Meaning it's boosted by an additional amount, not multiplied by. If you add an additional 450% to her current intelligence, she'd have an effective 3300 Intelligence. Not the 2.5k she says it is. And it means her effective Strength with Azarinth Awakening is 2750. And this is before whatever bonuses her other class evolution will give her.
Ziggy
2019-09-12 17:55:57 +0000 UTC75%[450%] happened like this... 75(base)+75*3(300% azarinth enhancer bonus)+75*2(inheritor enhancer bonus)
fuble878
2019-09-12 17:55:20 +0000 UTCIlea's running commentary was pretty good. "What? Conquer and expand while being an unparalleled leader? Pass." "Hmm... Become a literal Beast of fighting? Nah that's lame." "Become capable of traveling anywhere and surviving almost any habitat while perfecting what I like to do? No thanks. Who cares about volcanoes or jungles anyway?" "Wayfarer? This just sounds like a Pioneer + space magic. Huh, you need to be bilingual to get it... Stop wasting my time and give me the good stuff System!"
2019-09-12 17:55:07 +0000 UTCOh also hopefully her ash class evolution will give her a skill to boost her Dex like this one did to her int. Then she'll have everything she needs to dominate everyone and thing.
J H
2019-09-12 17:46:44 +0000 UTCDon't forget that that 1% is added to her natural 1%. Healing rate and also boost to it from endurance witch gives her more natural healing
Solarlancer
2019-09-12 17:42:17 +0000 UTCIt's a shame blink remains the same since she got it, and the azarinth class seems to have lost some reflex speed boosting aspects but holy fuck the power spike. Int scaling means the synergy with ashen is that much higher too. Hopefully getting mana sense back means illea can stop being such an uneducated country bumpkin about runes and stuff. At least that and overpowering mana should let her activate her fancy new armor. For the 3d tier point Sentinel Core looks promising since it's so OP, but the perception skills could use pushing too. Maybe she'll go for the ashen aspect of that first. Oh and the best part is that a sentinel is a healer first, does it mean she's getting [Healer] back?
2019-09-12 17:40:13 +0000 UTCSo now that we know what her first evolution is anyone wants to make a more educated guess at what we get for the Inheritor of eternal ash? Also I found it fun that she had so many options this time around, i think it was only 3-4 options the last time she evolved.
Han Pol
2019-09-12 17:40:06 +0000 UTCIm so excited for tomorrow! I just hope she doesn't lose her wings!
2019-09-12 17:37:56 +0000 UTCshe regenerates almost 20% HP per minute... holy fuck
Ato
2019-09-12 17:26:34 +0000 UTCThank you G. Greatly appreciate you accelerating the posting of Chap 301. The synergy between these two is going to be crazy I would imagine. Some great requirements in there. And ah the path unchosen when it comes to Wayfarer. Can’t have it all though.
Matthew Robinson
2019-09-12 17:22:51 +0000 UTCSo, she has 1% per minute natural health regen with a 1000% multiplier, so... 10 minutes to full health passively. Neat.
Yaksher
2019-09-12 17:19:08 +0000 UTCthanks for the chapters
Corwin Amber
2019-09-12 17:19:05 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure it will be one damn agry fist what hit em
j0ntsa
2019-09-12 17:18:09 +0000 UTCI also wonder how good are ilea's choices compared to other level 300 folks, like if maro's words are to be believed the upgrade shpuldn't be this good, so maybe ilea has got the really good ones, maybe sentinel in the best or close to it(for azarinth i mean)
2019-09-12 17:18:04 +0000 UTC'work form over a year' form -> from
Corwin Amber
2019-09-12 17:15:47 +0000 UTCI agree, if possible she should have looked over the other classes first to see if there were some combinations that might synergize extremely well... But that wouldn't make for very good reading, and it's pretty much a given she'll choose the class with the highest requirements. Plus, when you take into account future evolutions, getting the best class possible now could have a big impact later on. A synergy may seem appealing in the present, but it won't be permanent and ultimately could hamper her growth. Plus, I think some weaker classes that "specialize" in something may only give bonuses as good as the secondary bonuses in stronger classes.
Thaabit Rivertree
2019-09-12 17:13:52 +0000 UTCI think it does fit her perfectly, just not the image she has of herself.
J H
2019-09-12 17:13:16 +0000 UTCAll hail G.Harthane! Awesome chapter, and awesome author for not making us suffer too long with the cliff. Ilea is a monster now and she didn't even evolve the second class yet. Is anybody thinking what I'm thinking? One she evolves her second class, she should go test her newfound power on a soul ripper. I want to see her launch a fully charged fist to the face of one of them and have it smash through like 6 buildings. I'm very excited for the ash evolution and super looking forward to Ilea's tour de force of smesh all the monsters.
J H
2019-09-12 17:05:48 +0000 UTCThe new class certainly provides.
Han Pol
2019-09-12 17:04:48 +0000 UTCThis is awesome! Such great changes! I can't wait to see Ilea in action against those kingsguards now!
Chopper
2019-09-12 17:02:12 +0000 UTC"Seeing the end of this one I will move ahead Saturday's chapters to tomorrow." Thank you, for real, not many authors wpuld do this. Anyway i hope that the sphere arcane sense is more than a simple mana sense and that selfhealing wasn't nerfed and that instead it's healing to others that has been strenghtened, still it's a great evolution and probably one of the best possible, ilike if the king's words are to be believed she has gained a boost higher than his
2019-09-12 17:01:02 +0000 UTCI can't wait for tomorrow now; congrats on 300!
closeded
2019-09-12 17:00:46 +0000 UTCCongratulations on the 300 milestone, love the story so tyvm for writing it.
2019-09-12 16:56:17 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter. Man can't wait to see her Ash Class upgrade considering it could be considered one of the lesser upgrades. Also forget Azarinth Perception, 3rd tier Sentinel Core here we come.
Atlas Dwarf
2019-09-12 16:54:06 +0000 UTCHuzzah! So excited! Although I kinda think she should have read through the other evolutions too before picking one to see how they might synergize. But there'd be riots if you left a giant cliff so I'm not sure how you'd pull that off
Gardor
2019-09-12 16:53:50 +0000 UTCNot to mention ash class is probably gonna raise he multiplier on body enhancement also. So her natural regen will probably end up being closer to 12-14% a min
Tommy Littlefield
2019-09-12 16:53:16 +0000 UTCBecause its both healing and body enhancement it gets boosted twice.
Chopper
2019-09-12 16:52:45 +0000 UTCYeah Sentinel core seems the way to go honestly it gets the healing and body enhancement multipliers which will just increase more when she upgrade ash like currently it’s lets her heal 10% of her health a min if she raises it to tier three along with the new tier effect it will slowly increase the health regen cap to be even crazier
Tommy Littlefield
2019-09-12 16:52:11 +0000 UTCDamn, I was sure Wayfarer would win out. It seemed pretty in line with her 'explore the unknown' and a tier above simple 'Pioneer'. Plus, SPAAAAAAAACE. Considering some of the classes talking about interdimensional stuff- I wonder if she goes elsewhere and runs into living branch of the Azarinth Order. That might be pretty cool.
Keifru
2019-09-12 16:51:28 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter! Up next: Azarinth Immortal
Marmoset Threat
2019-09-12 16:51:18 +0000 UTCI dont feel too great about her not getting a class that 100% fit her (as far as her feelings are concerned) though the sentinel actually fits rather well xD but I guess thats gonne get fixed next chapter, I believe she will get something that really tickles her fancy!^^
2019-09-12 16:51:05 +0000 UTCYeah if one of her ash skills upgrades to increase intelligence too she is literally gonna be unstoppable by anything below like level 800 haha 😂
Tommy Littlefield
2019-09-12 16:50:00 +0000 UTChmmm. Healing 200% instead of 100%, so x1.5 destruction from there. 100 mana rather than 20, so another x5 +450% Int, so x5.5 there. This one will change as the Ash upgrades come online. It's also possible Int is not a straight multiplier, but I don't think we need to go complicated here. So 1.5x5x5.5= Absolute Destruction currently does 41.5 times the damage of the old one. It's also worth noting that the charging combos well with Form of Ash and Ember 3rd which gives +150% on a single attack.
Arkeus
2019-09-12 16:47:59 +0000 UTCWow, congratulations on reaching 300 author! Very cool evolutions, some of which I never would have thought of. Looking forward to seeing the Inheritor of Eternal Ash evolutions. One thing I don't get is, how are the numbers in brackets arrived at? I assume the number in brackets is what the actual effect is with all relevant bonuses taken into account. But I don't get how 75% became 450% or how 120% became 960%. A 300 percent increase in effectiveness to a 75% boost means the end result is 300%. Likewise a 500% increase to 120% equates to 720%.
Thaabit Rivertree
2019-09-12 16:47:41 +0000 UTCFucking wicked awesome I can't wait for the next chapters ahhhhhhhhhh
Jonathan Walker
2019-09-12 16:47:31 +0000 UTCTake a bunch of sleeping pills and slip into a coma until tomorrow 🤷🏻♂️
Tommy Littlefield
2019-09-12 16:46:34 +0000 UTCI think she should upgrade either the new Sentinel sphere and Sentinel Core. I was previously all about the sphere but that core seems really good.
fuble878
2019-09-12 16:46:01 +0000 UTCAlso I’m hoping her healing didn’t slow down on a personal level and it’s upgrade just made it to where she can heal others as fast as she heals And she heals 1% health a min as NATURAL healing her passive increases natural regeneration by 960% (or close, too lazy to go back and check) that means she now heals about 10% health a min give or take with out even using healing skills 😬🙃 meaning she probably doesn’t really need to heal in a fight unless she’s being aggressive
Tommy Littlefield
2019-09-12 16:45:02 +0000 UTCOh that would be awesome if her identify tag went back to healer literally shock and awe when she starts fighting would be worth it haha but it goes off highest class and ash caught up so she could get a hybrid tag possibly of healer-warrior since I’m sure ash will still be a straight body enhancement warrior after the upgrade
Tommy Littlefield
2019-09-12 16:41:46 +0000 UTCyeeeahhhh thanks. for the chapter!
ArturScott
2019-09-12 16:40:46 +0000 UTCYeah wayfarer would have probably been more focused on discovery too like some sort of language assist skill it seemed slightly focused on future inter dimensional travel so it might have had a way to get her to earth if she ever really considered visiting like she said she would also might have reduced the six month cool down on the long distance blink
Tommy Littlefield
2019-09-12 16:38:07 +0000 UTCThank you for this!!! My favourite chapter in a looong time! I look forward to 300 more chapters to come! (hopefully)
Seb
2019-09-12 16:36:39 +0000 UTCHonestly that would be really funny if every time she had a bounty she cut off her own head regenerated and then turned it in while disguised haha 😂 but honestly with how hard her Bones are now that might actually be pretty difficult to do
Tommy Littlefield
2019-09-12 16:36:22 +0000 UTCAlso Jesus if her ash class is just as good (obviously probably going to be) she is literally increasing her strength by like 4 fold
Tommy Littlefield
2019-09-12 16:34:50 +0000 UTCThank you for giving us the chaps tomorrow so I don’t have to wait in agony (too long) for the ash class upgrade haha
Tommy Littlefield
2019-09-12 16:34:02 +0000 UTCand now I stare at the screen waiting for the next chapters
BookDragonling
2019-09-12 16:32:54 +0000 UTCDamn, can’t wait for ashen evolutions, I guess resistances are gonna be huge there : D hype
Chilling_Monk
2019-09-12 16:32:33 +0000 UTCWow The Sentinels Core is Interesting. this is the only one i don't fully get. Why does it have such high numbers like 960%, 200% and 320%. and why are they base multiplied by 8 (40% (320%)
Solarlancer
2019-09-12 16:31:41 +0000 UTCIlea is entering late game and she is scaling hard. Those Praetorians won't know what hit 'em

2019-09-12 16:25:08 +0000 UTCWelp.. how do I make tomorrow come sooner?
Cyryl Chołodowski
2019-09-12 16:23:01 +0000 UTCAnyone want to bet that if someone put a price on her head she will give them one to get the money before getting rid of them?
Darcy Lessard-Patola
2019-09-12 16:21:58 +0000 UTCThat's some crazy bonuses. Guess now she can just keep on fighting after getting beheaded.
Joppest
2019-09-12 16:21:39 +0000 UTCWow.. It was an absolute thrill to read those class evolutions one by one
2019-09-12 16:20:15 +0000 UTCAlso woah, that's a hell of a power up. I was really interested by Wayfarer too, as it seemed the most likely one to upgrade Blinks to have multiple 'marks', but it would have been significantly weaker in combat.
Arkeus
2019-09-12 16:19:40 +0000 UTCthat is a cool idea but it would be a lot of work for something that would never get used probably
Solarlancer
2019-09-12 16:18:50 +0000 UTCFuck I wanted to see both oh well good job
Alexander Dupree
2019-09-12 16:10:54 +0000 UTCI know this is asking for a lot, but the greatest thing would be if you released a database/encyclopedia of the changes that would occur to her class had she chosen differently. As in how her skiils would change, etc.
agentjongon
2019-09-12 16:10:53 +0000 UTCRemainder: Class change: Azarinth Healer becomes Azarinth First Hunter Vitality +15 Strength + 15 Dexterity + 15 Intelligence +15 Wisdom +15 Body enhancement magic is improved by 200% All healing magic skills are improved by 100% Natural health regeneration increased by 1% per minute Food, water and sleep needed to sustain yourself is reduced
Arkeus
2019-09-12 16:10:16 +0000 UTCCliffhanger nuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Mr. Bigglesworth
2019-09-12 16:08:58 +0000 UTCYay, 300 is huge as expected. I really like the way class evolutions where set. But back to her roots suggests she could be identified as a healer again. That could be amusing.
2019-09-12 16:04:19 +0000 UTCThanks! Lots of cool choices here
2019-09-12 15:58:57 +0000 UTCGratz on 300. :D Shame no ashen upgrades in this chapter, but I'm super looking forward to 301. Edit- I'm a just thinking about the bounty on Lilith's head... Gonna be amusing to waltz back into that one...
