Chapter 525: Level Up Part V

Translator: Dess Editor: SSins

Kieran’s set of skills was definitely not on the lesser side but after decided to level up [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art], which was his core skill to the skill’s maximum limit while excluding those skills that didn’t have any leveling options, the remaining viable options were only a handful.

First was his hand-to-hand combat series of skills, [Barsical Kick], [Hundred Violent Kicks] [Blade Kick] and [Viper Kick].

Second, the greatsword skill series, [Sword Skill, Dragon Force] and [Sword Skill, Tiger Stance].

Lastly, there was his ancillary skill, [Tracking].

As for [Sword Skill, Myriad Viper]?

Although it has a Sword Skill prefix, technically, it was a Spirit attribute related skill and among all of the different categories, Kieran leaned more towards his combat series.

Not only was that because his combat series could be connected with each skill and form his fighting combo, it was also because combat skills were more well rounded, they allowed him to cope in sudden situations, and had different corresponding skills to react.

For example, starting with his [Hand-to-hand Combat, Kick Combats], he would follow up with [Hundred Violent Kicks] and [Viper Kicks], which then swiftly led into [Barsical Kick]’s [Bide] effect and finally unleashed [Blade Kick] as the fatal blow. Enemies at the same rank would have a hard time dealing with his furious combos.

It was also one of the important points for him as a lone wolf player.

However, Kieran still thought highly of [Sword Skill, Myriad Viper].

His highest attribute was Spirit and [Sword Skill, Myriad Viper] was certainly the skill that could maximize his attribute’s potential. More importantly was the skill’s attack range.

It was also a fact that he couldn’t neglect as a solo player.

But Kieran at the moment only had 7 Golden Skill Points. Certainly not enough to level up his combat series skills and [Sword Skill, Myriad Viper] at the same time.

Leveling [Sword Skill, Myriad Viper] alone from Pro to Grand Master required 3 Golden Skill Points and [Hundred Violent Kicks], [Blade Kick], [Viper Kick] required 2 Golden Skill Points respectively from the same rank. [Barsical Kick] required only 1 Golden Skill Point.

Would Kieran choose to level up the strongest skill and use the other skills as supportive means?

Or will he level up the skills that could form a complete system to the strongest?

Kieran, however, didn’t even need to think when facing the choice because whether he chose the former or latter options, all of them had certain criteria to fulfill: the potential damage inflicted on the enemies.

After using that as an entry point, the choice became easier.

[Sword Skill, Myriad Viper] has become the first choice, followed by [Hundred Violent Kicks] which could better bring out the potential of [Barsical Kick]’s effect.

After leveling [Hundred Violent Kicks], [Barsical Kick] would eventually be in line.

“The attributes increased as well?” Kieran was shocked at the leveled up notifications.

To be honest, when choosing a skill to level up and given that there was sufficient Golden Skill Points, Kieran would have considered more about the skill’s power and adaptability and very rarely, he would give up leveling a skill because of his attributes.

‘Using the best metal on the knife’s edge!’

Kieran understood that saying as he was in poverty for almost his whole life. Kieran understood it better than anyone.

Yet because of his understanding, Kieran knew how to save up and calculate to maximize his benefits while widening his channels by acquiring more benefits; it was his core motive.

The channels were his strength itself.

Therefore, Kieran clearly knew his SSS+ Spirit attributes has reached its maximum limit. Even if he leveled up [Sword Skill, Myriad Viper], the attribute wouldn’t be affected anymore but he still went for it.

Of course, Kieran was also delighted by the sudden increase of his attributes.

How would a scrooge not be happy about something extra?

Yet he has some guesses about the sudden extra increase.

“Is there something different when the skill reaches Grand Master level? Is S rank related to its attribute limits?” Kieran muttered in his heart.

But before he could delve deeper into the topic, the time for the meeting with Allen was drawing near. He shifted his available attention to the matters regarding the meeting.

Also, the outskirts of the outer city were where Reeder Irla Bridge was located which was quite far from Wallway 13th as well.

He needed to depart right away. Lawless eventually followed as well.

Although they promised to meet alone, it didn’t stop Lawless from appearing in other sectors outside Reeder Irla Bridge.
