Chapter 561 ssy Karl


    As he considered his options, Karl scrolled through his System interface.


    [Avable Skill Points] 51


    Now that was something that Karl could work with.


    Many of the ss options were rted to skills that he had. If he added anotherbat skill, there was a chance that he would get another option.


    {50pts} [Rampage] Every time an enemy is damaged by the Beast Master or a bonded beast, increase the damage done by the Beast Master or the bonded beast for one minute.


    That was the best option that he had, and even if it didn''t trigger a new ss option, it was still a skill that he wanted to have.


    Plus, if he did pick a ss skill, this would be hisst chance to get it.


    [Rampage] Learned.


    [New Advanced ss Option Avable]


    That was the best possible news.


    Karl turned to face the new image, and smiled as he saw the name.


    [Beast Master Packmaster]


    It was so simr in name that it had to be close to the path he wanted. The only question was whether it was a good ss or not.


    [The Packmaster gains an increased percentage of base stats from bonded beasts.]


    The description sounded great, but wasn''t all that helpful, so Karl moved on to the skills.


    [Pack Tactics] Damage and healing done by bonded beasts and the Packmaster increased by 10 Percent Per Rank.


    It was hard to argue with t stat bonuses, but that wasn''t the only ss ability that the Packmaster got.


    [Bestial Champion] The Packmaster gains a bonus to speed, strength and Luck stats when his pack is threatened.


    Two passive skills for one ss, and both of them were useful ones to Karl''s mind. They suited the way that he fought, and the role that he served within the group. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Actually choosing to change his ss, even if there weren''t many options left, was a strange thing to Karl. So, before he decided, he checked his skills.


    [Attack Skills] Tier 4 Skill Chosen {MAX}


    [Core Skills] None Avable


    [Defensive Skills] Avable Skills: {Barrier} {Refresh}


    Karl knew there would be Tier 3 versions of those defensive skills avable after he bought them. But he had limited time to choose an option from this ss menu. Like the Trials, he might turn out to be this event''s Lotus, ejected for just ying around instead of making a choice. He definitely did not want that to happen.


    Karl took a deep breath and ced his hand on the Packmaster image. "I choose Beast Master Packmaster" He stated.


    [ss Change Processing]


    [Upgrade Complete: Previous ss Skill Upgrades Locked]


    [New Skill Tree Unlocked]


    {Packmaster Skill Tree}


    (50 Points) [Follow Me Little One] Directly teach a known skill to apatible target.


    (50 Points)[Pack First] Removes the usage and targeting limits on {Evolution} but adds an increasing materials cost every time it is used on a bonded beast.


    (50 Points) [Territorial] All attacks by the Packmaster have a chance to cause {Intimidation}


    What sort of names were those?


    Karl was definitely making up new names to tell others when he used [Follow Me Little One] in the future.


    If he was using it to teach a new skill to a juvenile beast he was recruiting, that was one thing.But if he was teaching a skill to one of the other Elites, how embarrassing would it be to use that phrase out loud?


    However, there didn''t seem to be many restrictions on the skill, other than that the target had to bepatible. Maybe he could get around writing the spell books and just directly transfer knowledge to the target he wanted to have it?


    That would be incredibly useful. It also wouldn''t lead to anyone wanting him to sit and write books for hours or days on end. He could just transfer the skill, say it took a lot of energy, and call it a day.


    Of course, it really might be draining to do. He wouldn''t know until he tried.


    [Exit in 5 seconds]


    Karl found himself standing right back where he started, next to a stunned Spellde, who was staring silently at the purple orb.


    Karl whistled and motioned for everyone toe forward. This wasn''t a thing that they could afford to waste, and once someone else realized that it was here, all hell was going to break loose.


    Forget the stable dungeon, this thing was as good an active set of system stones.


    "Did you see that?" The older Spellde whispered.


    "Likely not quite the same as you did. I saw a ss Upgrade opportunity." Karl replied.


    "ss upgrade? I watched the end of the world. An abridged version of the events that led to the destruction of the original System. Did you know that the World Dragon''s scale actually created a system just for this world? Like, a unique one, not the same as the one that was being used on other worlds.


    That''s why the system copsed when the World Dragon Scale was lost. The System Stones are an attempt to recreate the original effect, not the source of the original System." He exined.


    So, it hadn''t tried to awaken the System for him, it had just shown him a history lesson? Actually, that could be more valuable than anything else because if he knew the full and true history, there was a chance that he might be able to track down holy Relics that would help them bring the System back to a fully online state.


    "Karl, what is going on?" Corbin asked.


    "No time for a chat. Everyone needs to focus on the power of the World Dragon and their sense of Piety." Karl replied.


    "Seriously? It''s a religious artifact? That''s not what the spiderdy said."


    Karl shrugged. "It''s a System artifact, but it''s activated with loyalty to the World Dragon, as far as I can tell. If you can read them, the words on the que will exin it."


    The first one to vanish was Lotus, and she wasn''t even near the orb. She was still twenty metres away, and flying.


    That took Karl a moment to process.


    She had convinced Rae to toss her in the air and catch her while they waited, and she had been in midair when Karl finished his exnation.


    Tessa vanished a few secondster, along with a couple of the Spelldes, including Tamarind.


    "From what I can tell, the most faithful, or the ones who have had divine intervention in their lives, have the easiest time. But, with luck, we might all be able to get in and out before whoever raised this ce returns." Karl informed Corbin, who nodded and began to focus on the orb with his hands folded.


    Dana and Ophelia vanished a few secondster, then the Spelldes began to vanish from existence, leaving Karl, one mage and Rae standing around to guard the site.


    [Are you having fun in human shape?] Karl asked.


    [It''s better than expected. People don''t ask me stupid questions like they do to Hawk. I wonder what species I seem like to other people? Can they tell that I''m a spider? I could usually tell with the ones in the Fortress, just by smell.]


    [We will have to test it outter. Those tokens can be used more than once, right?] Karl replied.


    [Yeah. Not forever, but more than once.]
