Chereads / The Mage Poe / Chapter 14 - The Final Trail

Chapter 14 - The Final Trail

Running away from the battleground, Poe was destined not to have a good day. Why you might ask?

Well… The fluffy rabbits that saw their king win the battle were not really so happy about someone killing their king just as he won. The wild goblins also saw Poe and may have thought he was the reason that the wild goblin fire mage died.

Either way, both fluffy rabbits and wild goblins stopped fighting. As for Poe who just left the battleground, he saw both fluffy rabbits and wild goblins suddenly stop fighting looking towards him before suddenly running towards him with killing intent.

Poe, who somehow seemed to have pissed of both of the races at war, panicked about it as he ran as fast as possible.

Lucky or not, Poe had already left the battlefield and was soon out of view, disappearing behind the trees.

The wild goblins and fluffy rabbits who lost their target started fighting each other again.

Poe on the other hand kept running for another half hour after he left the battlefield just to make sure that he had really escaped the wild goblins and fluffy rabbits.

Collapsing on the ground grinning to himself, Poe could not help but be joyful that his plan worked.

"Haha… The heroic wild goblin fire mage died to give me an opening, how great! Haha."

Laughing aloud, Poe soon calmed down and threw up on the ground. The bloodbath that the wild goblins and fluffy rabbits created was really too much for Poe, he managed to hold it in while he ran, but he could not hold it back any longer.

The next few minutes, Poe slowly recovered. Luckily, it was monsters and not elves, Poe thought to himself as he sat down on the ground.

The moment had finally come, so Poe opened up his status to be greeted by the storm of notifications that he got from his last fight.

[Gained 105 EXP + 5000 EXP: for killing higher level enemy]

[Error: can't level up because of class advancement. EXP required is set to 1, all remaining EXP is erased]

[Schemer title has been upgraded to Master Mind]

[Master Mind]: You have used entire races as pawns in your games before. The difference from then is that you have learned to control them more, make them do what you want, while only you get the benefits or maybe just for some amusement. Your brain processing speed is further increased. You gain + 5 WIS.

Looking at the title upgrade, Poe was speechless for a long while. Who is using entire races as pawns in a game? I just made them fight each other…

Giving up on the description of the title being a little wrong, Poe returned to looking through his notifications.

[Congratulations, the 2'nd object of class advancement have been completed]: So… You have made it this far? Will you choose to give up here or take the last trail?

[If you chose to continue you may not chose a class before the final trail is completed]

[Continue / Give up]

[You have gained 1 skill point and 5 stat points]

Things got serious all of a sudden. The messages also changed from choosing a class to giving up… Object also changed into trail…

Seeing things had gotten serious did not really change Poe's mind, he would after all be the worlds greatest mage one day, how could he back down from such a small challenge?

Feeling his pride getting challenged for the first time in his life, Poe chose the continue option with a somewhat cocky smile on his lips.

Just as he chose to continue with the 'final trail' notifications that he thought he was over with flew into his face again.

[FINAL TRAIL MAGE]

[TRAIL 1: Reach level 15]

[TRAIL 2: Mana Manipulation level 10]

[TRAIL 3: Earn the Mana River title]

[Mana River]: upgraded version of the mana stream title!

[REWARDS: Able to choose a class, the classes that can be chosen between is at least Epic grade]

Looking at what he thought would be one difficult trail turn into 3 all of a sudden left Poe quite bewildered.

Calming down, he looked over the trails. Reaching level 15 would not be hard, it would only take time, it would be the same with Mana manipulation, he even had 2 skill points he could put into it, but that would be for when he got stuck on a level.

The last one on the other hand, Poe had no idea how to complete. The mana stream in his head was small to the extreme. Expand that to a river, just how much mana would he need?

Thinking to here, Poe thought that from now on all his stat points would go to intelligence.

Reaching this conclusion, Poe put all 5 stat points into intelligence. For the sake of completing the FINAL TRAIL, he would have to increase his mana by a lot and just as he expected the small stream in his brain increased in size.

[Tier 1 magic stone of agility]: absorb increases AGI by 1, can be used MAX 5 times.

[Absorb? Y / N]

The last thing Poe did before looking at his status was using the magic stone, he picked up from the fluffy rabbit king.

His stat really had improved after that battle, but most importantly… What said class advancement underway, had changed into class TRAIL underway.

Looking at this, Poe started to wonder what the difference between a class trail and a class advancement was. There had to be some difference for it to change the status…

Not thinking about this anymore, Poe climbed into a nearby tree. Having climbed up the tree, Poe entered the crown of the tree. There was branches and leafs everywhere.

Thinking that it was a great spot, Poe leaned against the thick branches of the tree before letting sleep claim him.

It was a really exhausting day for Poe.
