Chapter 480 Requirements
🕑 Added 2020-05-16 12:17:09 +0000 UTCChapter 480 Requirements
The first explosion of fire and energy was similar in power to the blast she had used against the Ascended. Delivered in a sphere instead of a more focused cone but the effect was similar.
She broke their defense.
Compared to the steel wall of the steel man, the Specters fared quite a bit worse.
They were pushed back, half their bodies instantly vaporized, the rest burnt and molten.
Ilea could however not get through their bones, leaving them to quickly regenerate. She knew she had to overwhelm their resources just as much as they would have to overwhelm hers. This was a fight of attrition, the creatures leaving little room for trickery or overwhelming force.
Not at her current power. She knew that the Ascended could simply stop them in their tracks, with space magic or steel. It could use void magic to entirely remove them out of existence, if that was how it worked.
But she wasnt quite there yet.
Ilea enjoyed it as she closed the distance to the first one, already half its injuries regenerated when her ashen tendrils, fists and reverse healing hit it, all at the same time.
She had fought these monsters for months, had refrained from attacking herself, but now she could finally pay it all back. Your resistance training is appreciated. Now let me help you get some from my magic.
The three other Specters advanced, recovered fully once more as they focused on the well known enemy.
Ilea blinked in the last moment, avoiding the blades before she sent a barrage of ashen projectiles into the creatures. She had the mana. Every little bit of damage would help.
The dark fog around her had lost its terrifying nature, the creatures she fought merely more to her than training dolls. They were lifeless, monstrous creatures. Some of many she had met and killed.
These were a little more resilient, more so than most of the monsters in the Descent even.
The Vampire had been more powerful, that much was true, but he lacked the finesse these creatures were using. She wondered how many of them were necessary to take down a starved vampire.
Three maybe? Or all five?
If they were sapient, one might be enough. Able to retreat upon taking damage, recover ones resources, exploiting weaknesses.
These were just drones made to kill, creatures of death seeking to end everything that walked into their domain. Or perhaps they sought to die themselves, after millennia of madness.
Ilea was pushed back as a few well placed swings didnt allow her to advance, one even nicked her arm but the blade barely bit to her bone. The wound closing near instantly.
Blood erupted within her body, the explosion more subdued, as if the substance itself strained against the foreign influence.
The Specter didnt react at the eruption within its own body that came in response, just minor damage to the unfeeling creature.
Absolute Destruction spread into the nearest of the humanoid beasts, fire and cinders flaring up as her ashen abilities entirely demolished its defenses, now spreading into it freely.
The creature would soon fall if its enemy could keep up the relentless offense. If it kept avoiding their attacks, kept itself from being pinned down.
Ilea didnt make a mistake. Not after all the training she had done with them, after her skills had reached this level.
The Specter of Rot was a highly dangerous creature, a monster perhaps made for war, or one born out of malice and spite. The origins of the being did not matter anymore as its remaining life burnt away in an flare of ash and embers.
A monster had invaded their den.
Its kin did neither react nor did they stop their assault.
Just as much as the monster in their midst continued casting its powerful spells, the four of them entwined in a dance of death, one untrained eyes would not be able to comprehend.
Ilea grew more bold, taking hits to get in more of her own.
When the next creature fell and only two remained, the balance of the fight started to shift, Ilea more often appearing behind them, her spells hitting before they could even detect her.
She knew how they moved, knew their reach, the spells they could and would use. She knew how the space distorted when they vanished, knew how far away they usually appeared.
Ilea was used to the feeling of sharp bone digging into her flesh, her skills allowing her to take blows in exchange for devastating mana intrusion attacks. She knew the end of the fight was near, knew the creatures would die.
She wondered if they knew too. Wondered if they hoped for a mistake, a sudden weakness, a stumble.
Ilea moved through the air as surely as she moved on the ground. She skewered and punched, dodging blows and ignoring spells as she whittled down the health of the vastly higher leveled creatures.
Her ashen tendrils swirled to the left of the falling Specter, instantly biting into the flesh of the last remaining foe.
There was nothing but the creature. No notifications, no thoughts, or questions. No uncertainty. Just the next nudge to the left, the next limb rushing forward, the next sound of ash or bone cutting flesh.
A sickening scene that would have terrified her old self, would have been manageable to her a few years past, but now, she saw the beauty in it. The joy of a fight that could only end in death.
Either hers or that of her enemy.
A last punch unceremoniously killed the Specter, its body lifelessly falling to the ground as if its strings had been cut.
Ilea remained hovering in the air of the dark cavern. The lack of light didnt bother her anymore, and not just because of her sphere.
The dark mist that flowed lazily through the dungeon prevented her from seeing far but she didnt see any other creatures lurking about.
A dim light shone in the distance, Claires barrier, and within it her two companions. She smirked, seeing Trian squint his eyes as he tried to see what was happening. Claire on the other hand seemed to have some way of seeing her, though her eyes werent exactly focused on her.
She left the bodies where they were and moved her wings, slowly floating through the mists until she came up on the shimmering shield.
Theyre dead, she said and landed, walking a few steps until she stood in front of the spell.
Claire slightly moved her right hand, the spell dissipating instantly.

Ilea rolled her eyes at the fact that one Specter gave her four total levels and four only rewarded six.
And? Trian asked.
She smiled and nodded to the mage.
Get a pen ready, theres a lot of text.

She is a being of battle, both resilient and destructive. Her body is a weapon to defend and one to execute judgment, enhanced by the Flame of Creation coursing through her veins. Her will shall bend space itself, no realm guarded from the storm she brings.
Trian joined his hands together above his head. Damn.
Hell yes, Ilea whispered, sharing a smile with Claire who had just finished writing.
Lots of choices, the woman said, keeping her pen ready. Nothing normal like Fire Mage? Or any of your Sentinel Classes?
Ilea shook her head. She tried to think about it, focus on other options or another choice. There was nothing.
This is what I have, Ilea replied.
Now dont be hasty, Ilea! I know you like that horned creature but hear me out, Trian said as he pointed at her, looking on as if she was a dog with a grape in its mouth.
Ilea just rolled her eyes and cleaned herself with ash.
Do you have a favorite already? Or do you want to hear opinions? Claire asked.
She shrugged. We have time. Not here though, lets head up, we can talk outside, she said.
The Headless Horror sounds right up your alley, Ilea, Trian said. More legs are always welcome, no?
Why did I take you with me again? she asked. It seemed like the man regressed back into his older self whenever they were inside of a dungeon. Maybe the dense mana went to his head.
Are you healing me? he asked, trying to slap away the ash swirling around his head.
Just making sure, Ilea murmured.

Ghornet
Awwwwyiiiss!! I'm rooting for the Valkyrie, myself.
Lasne
Nice classes and sass in the descriptions
Inslayer
There is no way a normal human could achieve what she has in only 350 levels though...
Sam Beasley
It might be cool to change one requirement of Faen Valkyrie from 'Has visited three realms' to 'Has visited three or more realms'. Leaves open the idea that Chapter ???? actually happened.
Gibborim
Maybe you should add a lvl 350 requirement into to 3rd class unlock text. As written, there is no reason that this should not have already been unlocked.
Nate
Hmm. I think we all expect her to go for Faen Knight - which also gives her the "flame of creation" which I can't imagine wouldn't combo well with her ash creation. Still, the knight and lecturer options both would help her stick her nose into things as she does, haha.
fbt
Hmm. "Additional Classes exceeding your race’s limitations will have subdued effects." As written, this could be read to imply 3rd class isn't a hard cap, but I wouldn't want to read too much into specific phrasing given how fast GH turned out a lovely 3x batch for us.
Lomie0
Tarkorov Rider is my personal favorite, imagine a beastmaster main with a healing subclass getting that 1. A true mobile fortress.
Todd Kloos
Aren't they all created for her? They all start with [The], so they should all be unique classes.
lenkite
[Trakarov Rider] sounds.....just imagine the looks on people's faces! A lava breathing mega dinosaur in your backyard...😲 And..no OTHER silly requirements needed for that class! 😂 If I were Ilea i would go for [Arcane Touched] since it sounds like a [Mage] class that will have an evolution soon, but she will likely go for [Faen Valkyrie], which I dislike because its pretty clear that the Fae hivemind guided her way to choosing this specific class. [Hero of the North] would probably make Ilea puke, so thats a no I guess. [Headless Horror] - well she can ALREADY go without a head so whats the big deal ?? She hated the demon world so [Demonic Herald] is a no-go, even if [Mind Magic] would be a really useful tool in her skill set. And 2 [Ash] classes would be boring
levon
Pain tolerance 3rd rank allows her to use pain to concentrate more. She got it when the faye forced all the arcane energy into her body in the decent
Nodlehs
lol, love her attempting to heal Trian's stupidity at the end
Philippe Boulanger
The best is clearly Faen Valkyrie! The requirement his the highest (most be unlock before level 500, visit three realm, has save feas wen people goes their whole life without seeing one) and the description of what it give seem also the strongest and most balanced.
Sam Beasley
Hey, can someone remind me when she got Pain Tolerance into the third tier and what it does? I can't remember.
Augustus
The quite frankly, unhinged. Has ridden a Trakorov. Love how that one act is the only achievement needed for a third class, even if it is likely one of the weaker ones... and perfectly describes the mental state of the one who has the opportunity to choose the class.
Vin Reisling
Now, onto 500!
sharkattack
I love the class names in this novel.
sharkattack
Could be something worse farther down.
Deinos
Nice :) but wondering why she seemingly destroyed a perfectly fine training spot. I mean she could've left some of those rot monsters for future training trips no?
Niko
best classes ever.
自由
Hm, I would have expected something that requires more level 3 resistances.
Erdos
Thanks
Adam Roundfield
Let the great debate begin!
Michael scott
I don't think it will evolve until 500 or something crazy.
Tim Deral
Perhaps you are Right! I Suppose if it is simply a new normal Class, it‘d Naturally start weak and Grow stronger. Yeah I get it now Thanks for Pointing that out
Tim Deral
Like.. „ the goddamn ender of all“ „Walking calamity“ „Hegemon of humanity“ Just Some ideas. She trained so Many resistances, so Many Skills! The elemental, which probably no human before has achieved. There should be more grand rewards. Just my opinion
Tim Deral
Tbh I expected More 😂, we waited like 150 chapters for some „ok I guess“ Supplements. I literally was surprised when it Ended and nothing with higher requirments showed up. Truly, the last Two evolutions where far better. Well, perhaps you can convince me otherwhise, I Hope so Atleast :). Thanks for the Double chapter, Keep it going 👌🏻
Keifru
Jeez its hard to decide... Mad Shadow and Faen Valkyrie are definitely up there. But if she does take valkyrie, she'll have to rebrand her pseudonym as 'Lenneth' :V Honorable mention for Ashen Lecturer but considering she hasn't *really* been gungho in sticking around teaching/training, unfortunately I don't think thats on the table. Tarkorov Rider is maximum meme though :P
Joshua Little
Thanks for the chapter. I would totally pick the fae one, or maybe the demon one.
just_a_potato
The Faen Valkyrie sounds like a body enhancement class... "Her body is a weapon to defend and one to execute judgment, enhanced by the Flame of Creation coursing through her veins."
Randall C
Two?!? Thanks :)
SoggyBiscuit
Yep, insane choices. I'd immediately dismiss The Headless Horror and The Mad Shadow, because of their descriptions. The Trakorov Rider just seems to be a joke. The knight one is a bit too on the nose. I'd say it's a choice between Faen Valkyrie, The Ashen Lecturer and The Demonic Herald. And, personally, I'd pick Faen Valkyrie, not only because of the "before level 500" requirement, but also because the Fae are awesome. Also, space magic.
BeepBoop
No, don't google 3 legged woman. It wouldn't be what you think it would be.
Sebastian Prue
Yes! Love the descriptions and honestly I think no matter what she chooses it'll be great
Sean Ulrich
I cackled at the Trakorav one. Only two requirements. Insanity and riding a giant lava beast into battle
The Faen Valkyrie, probably
Some Total Kretin
It's interesting, but does she want to link her fate with fae so much? The mad shadow sounds a bit more independent. All of the other classes imply either restriction (arcane class), something not up her alley (demonic) or tying her fate to something (lecturer, knight and so on)
Christian Basso
I'd go for mad shadow simply because it's a class created for her. She literally is the mad shadow.
Fate Hydrax
Please be the fea
Tsaimath
Faen Valkyrie sounds the most like her
😍😍😍😍😍😍
mkalte666
Remind me to up my pledge, you fucking troll <3
G. Harthane
Did I say double chapter? What about triple?
