Chapter 274 - Skill Trees and Resets

The Vampyre Prince looked at Crixus with unfamiliarity as stern words came out of the newly appearing figure.

"Come on, we have to move fast."

"What have you found out exactly?"

Many thoughts and calculations were passing through Noah’s mind as he began shooting towards a particular direction, the Vampyre Prince easily keeping up with him. Noah looked at his stat panel as he replied.

"I am not completely sure, but because of our actions and something else in this Infernal Realm, an actual bonafide Celestial is most likely pulling the strings and watching what is happening in here."

Their figures streaked through the fiery skies at high speeds as they ignored the maddened infernals below them, Noah continuing.

"We now have to keep in mind our identities, and how we should be acting if something had gone wrong in this Infernal Hunt that forced multiple Void Realm beings carrying the stench of Celestials to enter."

A gaze of understanding passed through Prince Cassius as he was about to speak, when both he and Noah felt the aura of a tremendously powerful being exploding out quite a distance away from them, but towards the direction that they were heading into.

Their gazes slightly changed as they looked at one another. The more knowledgeable Prince Cassius voiced out.

"That aura can only be from an extremely powerful Infernal, one that should have already ascended to the Second Realm of Hell, but somehow it is still here. That should be the reason for the Celestial’s intrusion."

Noah nodded his head as he pieced everything together while recalling the golden aura that appeared above the Blood World that Cassius had cast when they had killed two Celestial Disciples. He watched how this aura had descended the moment the two disciples faced their death, and yet it wasn’t able to locate them because of the unique feature of the Vampyre Prince’s skill, it faded soon after.

The only two Celestial Disciples that he and the Prince had not come across were Athena and Drax, and it was highly likely that the latter, Drax, had faced death in the hands of this powerful Infernal whose aura they could feel from a tremendous distance away. Following this thought process, it meant that the Celestial who was intruding currently had this Infernal as the target, and they thought that this single Infernal was the culprit for the deaths of all the other disciples that had occurred in this Infernal Hunt!

Noah continued to ponder, his mind focused on the mentality of Celestials as he asked the Prince,

"From what you know about Athena, how likely is she to survive the encounter with this powerful Infernal?"

Prince Cassius looked at Noah closely as his expression became somber.

"The reason I believed you when you told me I would meet Athena and it would not end well for me...it was because of the few pieces of information that we had managed to uncover about her over the years. From what we have gathered, in the Void Realm, she has no opponents."

His silver hair shone as he gazed towards the direction they were flying in and continued to speak.

"If she were to be matched with the powerful aura of the Infernal that we are sensing all the way out here, then I would give her chances of survival...at least 50%"

Noah listened with a thoughtful expression as he replied.

"Well, it seems the intruding Celestial doesn’t even like those fifty-fifty odds, and will be sending in multiple powerhouses whose powers feel like the peak of Void Realm towards that same direction."

"...Her life would then pretty much be guaranteed."

Noah nodded as he continued to think before he replied.

"Let’s go see how the situation develops. With the arrival of all of these forces though, it seems we will only be acting in the capacity of helpful disciples from other powers at this rate."

Noah was explaining his thoughts to Prince Cassius as they continued to shoot forth in a particular direction, with more than half of his attention placed on the next Saint+ skill he had been preserving some of the Infernal Skill Points for.

He was currently Crixus, a disciple of the Profound Astral Sect, and he could not be seen using Necromancy by the multiple powerful Elders and Sect Masters that would be entering the First Realm of Hell under the watch of an Unkown Celestial.

He held the skills of the dead Crixus and could imitate him fully, but even better yet was the one space related ability he had raised from Saint to Saint+ with the combination of [Aberrant Saint] and a skill he gained from the Magus called Black Serpent, the [Progenitor Transformation].

The product of these two skills was something that he had already maxed the proficiency of during his 8-day ’cultivation’ period when he acted as Crixus in the Profound Astral Sect, where he was actually in the Time Space of the Spiritual Land raising the power and proficiencies of many of the skills he collected for more than two months.

The product was a skill that had come a long way. From the bases of [Dictatorial Kaiju- Hydra], to the [Calamitous Leviathan], to the [Aberrant Saint], the more offensive space related ability he wanted to play with next using the Skill Points was called [Amorphous Space Beast].

SAINT+ [Amorphous Space Beast] (0/15):: A unique creature in the Universe that was synthesized from a variety of abilities. Because of its characteristic, it sometimes appears as a calamitous dragon, and other times as a leviathan with an uncountable number of tentacles. Abilities include Spatial Cage, Destabilize, Shattered Star, and Miniature Space.

The skill was spectacular, with the Spatial Cage ability allowing him to create individual cages that held his enemies in place, the Destabilize ability allowing him to influence a wide area and not allow spatial movements, the Shattered Star ability allowing him to throw his enemies the force of an exploding star, and the Miniature Space being the extremely small black hole he could pull his large body as well as his enemies into.

Yet he held a troubled expression as he realized the number of Skill Points would be enough to upgrade it to Void Rank, but he wouldn’t be left with any points to spread across the stupendous abilities of whatever skill tree he chose in the future. He wanted to first see what the possible pathways would be as he added 15 points until the advancement was possible.

SAINT+ [Amorphous Space Beast] (15/15)- Skill Point requirement met. 0/2 SAINT+ Skills are needed for advancement to two possible Skill Trees: >> Void Walker- A path geared towards greater proficiency in the Law of Space. Additional abilities include Fracture, Supernova, and Space Mirror. >> Lesser Cthulhu- A profoundly rare creature to come across in the wide expanse of space. Additional Abilities include Morph, Child of Space, Portals of Terror, and Sever.

A truly spectacular selection appeared in front of his eyes as he almost came to a stop, his mind rapidly moving as he was tempted to briefly stop and farm just a few more Skill Points from the Infernals.

He looked at the Skill Tree of the [Abhorred Lich Emperor] as an idea struck his mind, seemingly nonsensical but at the same time, he couldn’t stop himself from asking if it was a possibility. He focused on his connection to the Planetary System of his homeworld as he asked.

"The Infernal Skill Points that are already added to certain abilities, is it possible to...redistribute them?"

The idea seemed far-fetched, but too many unbelievable and fantastical things continued to occur around him and he couldn’t help but ask. The reply came less than a millisecond later.

[Of course, the Skill Points are a form of a unique quantifiable essence that reside within you. You can easily move them around from one ability to another if you wish. The only downside is the temporary deactivation of a Skill Tree if you completely remove the points associated with it, but you can just as easily redistribute the points as you wish thereafter.]

...

The monotone voice of the Planetary System replied as Noah could feel his heart pumping even faster. He didn’t think the idea of Skill Reset would actually be something that was possible. He thought he had discovered everything there was to the Skill Points that could only be gained from the Infernals in the Realms of Hell, but it seemed there was still much to discover as time went on!

He gazed at the number of Skill Points he could play with in the Abhorred Lich Emperor skill tree while also thinking of what Skill Tree to choose for the evolution of the [Amorphous Space Beast]

[Lich Lord of Abomination] (15/15):: Abilities- Summon Poison Totem(2/5), Summon Undead(5/5), Noxious Outburst(3/5), and Dereliction of the Saintly Poison Lord(5/5) >> [Abhorred Lich Emperor](22/30) :: Additional Abilities- Undead Legion(5/5), Will of the Undead Emperor(5/5), and Delay Death(5/5)

His time had been used wisely and efficiently as he moved with the Vampyre Prince, making great strides with the Skill Tree of the Lich as he distributed the points as the Infernals fell. His eyes shone a dangerous light as he simply sent a command while watching the number of points in each of the parentheses of the skills, the light shining even brighter as he watched the numbers reduce and go down to zero, while the counter for free Infernal Skill Points he could use rapidly filled up.

This...was simply too fantastic!

His gaze turned to the two possible paths of evolution for the [Amorphous Space Beast] skill that he could now distribute a large number of skill points into, being able to bring out the strongest forms of the new abilities the moment he chose the Skill Tree. Now, which would it be? The [Void Walker], or the [Lesser Cthulhu]?
