Chapter 137 The Dark Forest..
In liberty online, there were many ways a player could get a subclass, but the best way to get a suitable subclass was by performing well in the trial temple at the time of tier-up.
The tier-up was more like advancing to the next stage of evolution. Tier 0 and Tier 1 players were just in a completely different power class.
There were only a few players in his last life that were able to tier up above Tier 3. That was the limit and end of the power-up progress of the bad-skill player.
Many players in his last life got the chance to select the sub-class based on their performance in the trial.
A player was bound to select only one sub-class in the game. Although he could change that sub-class later on, that would mean he lost some permanent features of the sub-class.
The sub-class gets new skills each time tier up. There were a few players in his last life that changed their subclass after tier 1, but they lost the power of the subclass that they got at the time of tier up.
Changing a sub-class was the worst opinion in his opinion. He had the plan to go with a high-damage skills subclass.
The choice of the subclass depended on the main class and the most important thing was the play style of the player.
First, there were 2 major types of the subclass that players choose based on preference. First was that they could go with the support type complementary sub-class. These types of subclass enhance the performance of the main class.
Then there was the opposite sub-class that cover the weakness of the main class. Going with these with mean stability in the gameplay.
At last finally, the no-sense subclass. These types of classes had no logical way to use them but had some weird uses. These classes were not suitable for the public, but in the hand of a few, they become very destructive.
Grave planned to either take the swordsman\'s subclass or a battle mage.
His main class was more of a monster breeder and leading type. But that was not his style, so he wanted to go with the class of mass or point destruction.
Grave stopped thinking that there was still time for him to take his tier-up trial.
He had reached in front of the Dark forest. He looked at the dark forest entry point. There were many players in the line to enter the forest.
He saw two Abyss guards collecting money from all the players who wanted to enter the dark forest.
Grave took out his bounded sword and walked to the front of the line. The dark red blade shone in the sunlight. It gave a weird sense of oppression to the surrounding. It attracted all the attention.
He did not care about it and moved to the front of the line. No one dared to come close to him.
As he walked to the front.
"Good day, sir."
"Good day, sir."
Both Abyss guild guard salutes at him.
Grave nodded his head at them and, wasting no time, entered the forest.
People around the gate started buzzing around at the gate. After all, Grave was a local celebrity.
"Hey, that\'s the panda Hero right?."
"Damn Panda hero was really part of Abyss guild."
"here Idiot. He was part of the abyss guild from start."
"Sigh, Man I don\'t know. I really believed in those rumors of Panda hero against the Big guild."
"Stupid, he was a con man. What can you expect from him?"
"Did you see his sword? I feel it is unique."
"Must be a high-grade weapon. Hey, do thing we-"
"Stop it. Did you forget about Abyss?"
"Still getting a high-grade sword…"
"They would hunt you down till you drop all the items."
\'Glup\' All of them gulped. They knew how dangerous the Abyss guild was.
"Forget I said anything."
"Mm, I heard nothing."
"Me 2."
"Same."
"Hey did you guys think those guy\'s targets will target him?"
"Nah, from their action, they did not want to provoke the Abyss\' guild."
"Man, I hope those were some powerful guys that show these goons their place."
"Bastard, Shut Up!" One guard shouted to the crowd. All of them quiet down. They all wanted to enter the dark forest.
That guy looked at his college. The 2nd guard said in a low voice, "I informed the guild." The first guard nodded his head and both of them started working seriously.
…
As Grave walked into the Dark forest, he moved away from the gate and found an empty spot. He looked around and find no one, then he jumped on the tree and sat on one of the big branches.
"It\'s time to try my new skill." Mumbling to himself, Grave started using the mana absorption.
As he started the mana absorption, he felt a soothing touch all around his body.
Slowly all the mana surrounding his body started entering deep inside his body. He started feeling tickling all over his body.
He used the mana zone to examine the movement of mana inside his body. He found out that mana particles were entering through the pours present on his skin.
The mana particle seeps deep into the body and then entered inside his bones. Slowly, the bones inside his body started turning blue.
He continued to observe inside his body and within 5 mins all the bones turned sky blue and he started feeling bloated.
!Ding!
[25% mana added to your body.
Time limit: Mana needed to be used before 1hr otherwise mana would blast all the boned and other inside organs.]
"Oh, there is a time limit. Well, 1 hr is sufficient."
Grave got up and started doing some stretching. He looked down at his body. There was no change except the feeling bloated and his fingernails turning blue in this battery form.
"It\'s time for hard grinding. "
He picked up that sword and rushed toward the middle area of the dark forest. He did not want to waste his time killing one spider at a time. The exp required to level up was too much compared to the first 20 levels. He did not want to waste a day just to increase one level.
As Grave moved deep into the forest, he found there were many groups hunting different spider monsters. The trees all around the dark web had many old and new big webs on them.
Most of the spiders in the forest travel through these webs. There were many spiders as he moved deep into the forest and the best thing was that this area was not much crowded as the beginner village.
There were a few Abyss guild teams that were grinding in this monster\'s nest zone. Grave avoid all the crowded places and moved along the mid-area in hope of finding a decent pack.
As he was moving, he found a spot with a big web where a group of 4 level 25 normal-grade spider packs was resting.
Grave slowly rushed in front of those trees and stop just a few meters away from the big web. The spider web was 10 meters high.
He did not want to let the spider sit on their web. \'mmm, let\'s make them fall first.\'
The basic step to fight a spider-type monster was to drag them away from the web. He used all his strength to punch one of the 3 trees that the web attached to.
Bammm!
Thum! Thum! Thum! Thum!
He turned back to find all 4 spiders on the ground.
Sreeeeeeh Sreeeeeeeeeh
All of them started screeching at him. Grave smiled while staring at them.
He bent down and, in a launching position and motioned to spiders with his hand. "Come on, fckers."
Screeching loudly, the first spider rushed toward him, and after a pause other followed behind the first spider.
Grave stared at the spider without moving into the launching position. He focused on the mana inside his feet and try to manipulate the mana out of the sole of his feet.
Sreeeh spiders continued to rush toward him. Only 20 meters away.
\'Focus on the flow.\' Thinking to himself, Grave tried again.
Sreeeh 15 meters. Slowly, the mana particle started moving. He made a lump of mana at his feet.
Sreeh.. 10 meters. 8 eyes of 1st spider stared at him. "hehe bastard, let\'s go." Shouting, Grave pushed all the mana lump out of the sole of the feet and moved one step forward.
Nothing happened. \'Damn, did I fa-\' fsssssss.
A large amount of mana rushed out of his feet, launching his straight at the first spider.
Puchi!
The blade in his hand had punctured one eye of the spider. Bammm!
Before he knew it, his body slammed into the face of the spider and the black sword dug deep into the spider\'s skull.
Grave shook his head and looked around. He had crossed the limit of acceleration by using mana manipulation.
"Uaaaa," Blood dropped from his mouth.
[-20Hp]
He found himself struck at the last tree. He looked down.
Ding!
[Fatal Kill!!]
"Haha, this one-shot kill using mana was very satisfying." Grave laughed and got up. He looked at the 3 spiders that froze in shock.
[-50Mp]
\'I need to train this mana manipulation more before trying something like this again.\' Using 50 mana just for a simple launch was too much of a waste and his body was not powerful to handle the shock of this much boost.
He had consumed 10 times more mana than required for a simple action.
Not wasting any more time, he got up with the sword in his hand. The 3 spiders also turned back and stared screeching at him when they saw the dead member under Grave\'s feet.
Sreeeeeeeeeh!
Sreeeeeeeeeh!
Sreeeeeeeeeh!
All of them rushed at him at the same time.
Grave changed his grip on the sword and shouted, "Let\'s dance, moterfcker!"
