《Cursed Anti-Hero Against the Gods》Ch 6 Course of Action

Advertisement

Looking at his status, Eradin was deep in thought, his purple eye was slightly twitching as he processed all of the information he now had from his status. The title was what intrigued him the most and upon further inspection of the description he saw earlier, the slightest trace of a smile would be seen on his face.

[Title: Solo Elite Slayer: Increase all damage and leveling exp gained when solo killing an elite opponent by 15%]

I don't know how rare such titles are, but if I could learn of a way to equip multiple titles of this nature, then this could at least alleviate my problems a bit when leveling at higher levels, with how quickly I am leveling right now, its only because not much experience is needed. Too bad it specifically states leveling experience, maybe there is a title that makes it easier to level up my Traits and Skills quicker, but it seems they are still affected by the complete double experience required.

Looking further down the status page, once again Eradin saw, [Souls Absorbed: 6 Soul Points:37] and decided to just leave it alone, when the uses for them arrived he was confident that the system would naturally tell him what they would be used for. And upon reaching his statuses Eradin's jaw dropped slightly. They were all far higher than what a normal level six would have for statuses. When he leveled up Eradin could make a rough guess that all statuses would randomly increase anywhere from three to six points. And only now did he realize how stupid his body made from the Dragon God was. This is completely broken thought Eradin, Baseline I get the random three to six increase, probably factored by how much I use a certain stat and +10 to all on top of that, it's the equivalent of multiple levels from just one level. Not only that, it seems I misunderstood the strength of [Draconic Body] after this fight, it baseline inceases my defense stat and resistances, and makes it easier to acquire resistance skills, that is probably why I learned [Fire Resistance] from half my face being burned, which seems to have healed up nicely thanks to Blood of the War Goddess.

And it really was true, not a blemish was left on Eradin's face that was charred before from the time he killed the Goblin Mage to when he killed the Ogre which was roughly twenty minutes based on remembering the exact numerical values because of the damn stupid never forgetting anything part of his curses. At with that thought, it seemed his head throbbing increased from thinking about the curse.

Further thinking, Eradin sat down in the shade of a tree, and realized the scale of his blessings, they truly could make it easier for him to live in this world, and from what he learned just now, dragons were probably hunted because they would make excellent equipment for resisting attacks depending on what resistances they had and what type of dragon they were since it seemed plausible that all dragons had this trait, and anything that had a strong enough trace of the dragon bloodline would most likely have a variation of the trait.

It was roughly the afternoon and almost dusk, but Eradin didn't feel tired at all, probably because his body was that of True Gods, so he decided to try and find his way out of the forest and find some information about this world as he didn't even know its name. However Eradin was beginning to come up with counter measures to a certain curse that he hated and yet didn't for one reason.

[Curse of the God of Crossroads and Destinies]

It really was horrible that it was affected by luck, and if he tried to attempt to have a clear place he'd want to travel, then he wouldn't and would get lost, but at the same time it allowed him to get the blessings he has now from the Sealed Gods. So what about this thought Eradin, he would just walk aimlessly and head in any direction, if that happened the effects of the curse might lessen a bit. So for now his best course of action was to simply wander around not trying to find any civilization and instead finished looking at parts of his status that he hadn't yet because of the fight. And that was his [Fused Body Equipment].

[Death Gods Scythe]

[Rank: God]

[Owner:Eradin Silvermoon]

[Dmg: ?/?]

[Traits Indestructible] ???

[Dragon Gods Pendant]

[Rank: God]

[Owner:Eradin Silvermoon]

[Traits Indestructible] ???

[Cloak of the Evil God]

[Rank: God]

[Owner:Eradin Silvermoon]

[Traits Indestructible] ???

[Armor of the War Goddess]

[Rank: God]

[Owner:Eradin Silvermoon]

[Traits Indestructible] ???

What is all this? Eradin's face slightly contorted, instead of his purple eye, his red eye twitched this time. I can understand the [Indestructible] trait as they are god level equipment but what is with all the question marks? It might be plausible that it means there are more traits and the conditions haven't been met to unlock them, after all, a God level weapon not having any other aspects besides [Indestructible] is hard to believe. But still even the damage on the Death Gods Scythe is unknown. To think that they had this many hidden conditions, they must be quite powerful even among God level equipment. And why is that?

Reflecting on the past fights, Eradin realized all he could see over the Goblins and Ogres heads were their levels, even in combat, he couldn't see their Hp or even see how much damage his attacks did to them and only the timers and cooldowns of his abilities used were visible as well as his own Hp and Mana. But more research would have to be done as it was only his first actual combat.

Twilight, the time right in between night and day was approaching and yet Eradin still wasn't tired, even after walking aimlessly and reading through his status page all day, thinking up plans for the future and what to do in the event that he met an intelligent race, he still marched onwards towards the unknown. Until finally, it was utterly black in the forest and he could barely see under the light of the half-moon when he began to feel the forest come alive, in every direction he could hear movement of beasts. But those movements and sounds were oblivious to Eradin as he was in the middle of berating himself over a horrible mistake he made, he failed as an Adventurer. I can't believe that I forgot to plunder that Ring of Absorbtion off of the Ogre or even look for where its home was, if I had done that, I might have gotten something else as well!

Of course Eradin already forgot if he actively looked for its hideout, he would only get lost trying to find it because of his curse. Oblivious to the fact the forest was more dangerous at night compared to day time, Eradin began to finally notice his surroundings, all around him danger signals finally were going off within his mind. His blood began to boil extremely hot as if a fight had begun due to all of the prescences. Eradin used all of his sensory abilities and he understoood why his blood was boiling, all around him, many green lights he sensed were in every direction, none of them reached the size or pressure the Ogre had emitted when Eradin sensed it but he was thoroughly outnumbered. But luckily it seemed that they hadn't noticed him yet. It was probably because his signs of life were so weak due to the [Life Goddess Curse]. Maybe I'd make for a great assassin if I actively tried to hide my prescence.

With that thought, Eradin found a small tree and climbed it. This was a chance for him to acquire some skills or even traits if he acted accordingly was what his body seemed to be screaming at him. So Eradin just sat up in the tree, it had many insects and countless thorns on it, but he didn't feel them since the only skin that was bare was his face, from having no helmet. But it was the perfect place to hide with his already weak life signs as it was covered in countless branches and was thick with many leaves. Rather than emit his sensory skill outward, Eradin tried to focus them only on himself, and in his minds eye, he saw himself, but what he saw wasn't human, it was a humanoid dragon outline, where the Heart of the Evil God was located, it was a black vortex and surrounding it was a purple mist and little red lines pumped from his body, it was different than if he emitted his sensory skills outward, maybe its because I am checking my own body I am able to see such detail, rather than a blob of light. But rather than feel shocked, it confirmed Eradins thoughts that he wasn't entirely human, rather he had a human-like Soul, Heart and Blood because he was originally human and it influenced it. So Gods can't really be affected by race unless they have the race in their name such as Dragon God, hence God of Dragons, So as far as I know, the Evil God, the Death God and the War Goddess may or may not have been human. Then a message appeared that Eradin thought physicians or healers would probably use for treatment or combat classes would probably use for attacking vitals accurately until he finished reading it.

[Skill Gained: Inner Body Perception 1/10]

[Description: You have successfully sensed the outline of a living body, you can now see others entities inner body outlines as long as you have sensed their prescence. You are the first entity in this world to think of such an innovative method to identify an something based on their inner body and as such, no amount of deception can allow anything to hide its true form from you. Immunity to anything that would allow someone to decieve you by changing their appearance. Outline is more detailed as the skill is leveled.]

[Sealed Skill: Because you have learned [Inner Body Perception] you are unable to learn the skill [Night Vision 1/10] due to difference in usage.]

Eradin was so shocked by what he saw, he accidentally sucked in air so forcefully it made him cough loudly, causing some of the beasts in the forest to head towards his direction. Without any time to contemplate on this skill yet, Eradin put it to use with his other sensory skill and saw many outlines of beasts coming towards him.

"Damn it, leave it to me to blunder in such a way that I am going to my self killed in such a fucking useless way." Eradin was so pissed off at himself he started to swear in a useless manner. But it was also time to put his theory to the test. As he noticed some of the stronger beasts probably had sensory skills like he did, and were slowly locking on to his weak sign of life.

"Well here's to hoping I don't have to run for my life."

Eradin used [Inner Body Perception] and focused completely on the small green light outlining his body that represented he was a living non-hostile entity, then he began to imagine it forcefully being compressed and sucked into the black vortex that was the Heart of the Evil God. At first only a small green strand that represented him moved, but then as Eradin focused more and more because of the approaching beasts, it finally all began to compress into a spherical shape and it sat in the middle of the black vortex like it was plugging a hole that would leak if opened. All at once, a message appeared and the beasts that were approaching the tree, ran to it after Eradin's signs of life vanished.

Eradin prayed whatever skill he just learned would work because there were at least ten outlines underneath the tree that were shaped like wolves. But one was twice the size of the others and had a pressure that wasn't as strong as the Ogre but it was close and it had a pack with it. Then it dawned on Eradin, perhaps that is one of the Lords of the Forest. Looking out over the branches, all the regular sized wolves appeared to be level eleven or twelve and the Lord of the Forest was level seventeen. An elite monster four levels higher than the Ogre, and perhaps stronger individually even though the pressure it emitted was weaker.

After roughly twenty minutes of sniffing around the tree, the pack left, but Eradin who was slightly cramped in his hiding position didn't dare to move. He kept whatever his new skill was and all his sensory skills activated to the limit. Before he began to read it.

[Skill Gained: Complete Aura Concealment 1/10]

[Skill Gained: Aura Manipulation 1/10]

[Descriptions: #1 You have learned to erase your life aura better than even master aura wielders that suppress it underneath the skin into the muscle. You are able to completely erase your prescence from all but the strongest of foes and detection abilities. #2 You are now successfully able to manipulate the worlds Auras.]

Looking at the skills gained Eradin was quite pleased. His first thought was that he now had many new experiments he could do while traveling to prevent boredom, but looking out at the night sky, Eradin kept all his sensory skills activated to their limits and tried to sleep, for tomorrow he needed to find food and water, but more importantly, he now had his first goal in mind. And ever so slowly, the night passed on amidst the howls and roars of the predators unleashed during the night.
