The new ability provided by Hunter's Aura came in clutch and he could hide amongst the rough looking group of adventurers and prisoners with ease .
It was no rare sight to see someone wear a cloak covering their whole body , here , on the dark side . Even the death row criminals would sometime kill some mages , just to hide their identity on this side of the world .
He easily melded into the group , following them from in midst of them , as some ran and others floated towards DuskShade , the only city recognized on this side of this particular planet .
Sam could hear the things people said about him , as he walked amongst them , looking at all the skills he had , one by one , not leaving a single one out . He was apparently mistook as a banshee by some , in the midst of it's breakthrough to tier 4 . He didn't care about all this as he was now looking at the level up condition of the 2 new skills in his arsenal .
[ Dragon's Claw : Absorb the blood of draconic species . ]
That was it . This damned skill , which , God forbid , couldn't get more overpowered on leveling up , required him to hunt draconic species .
He didn't need to ask scout to know what species were referred to as Draconic . He had seen them in his memories , after all . Even if what he remembered was fragmented , it was there nevertheless .
Species that inherited the blood of the dragons . Wyrms , drakos , snakes ... Anything goes . Well there was also the part about how the new ability he gets on level up of the skill will depend on the species he got the most blood from during that level .
The chance to get an ability at the beginning was high , at least in the beginning , as it said this exactly :
[ Derive an innate ability attached to the claws on every level up . Chance of derivation decreases by 10% per level and increases depending on the purity of the bloodline in the blood . ]
He understood all this bloodline crap . Eastern fantasy can be quite helpful when you live in a world which as a multiverse based on Eastern fantasy . ' Or the other way around ? Who the fuck cares ? '
[ Energy Flow : Circulate energy . ]
Once more , it was fucking vague . But it was good enough for him . He just had to circulate his fucking energy ten fucking thousand times . There was one silver lining to this however as , according to scout :
[ The growth pattern of this skill is different . It's requirement to level up will only multiply by 4 on every level up . ]
That much was enough to appease him , as he would rather not become an actual sage . He wanted to be a damn magician with nice card tricks .
As soon as he reached the town of DuskShade , he rented an inn for a 100 days , as he had no shortage of currency for the time being . The currency on this side was energy stones of course .
He sat in his inn room for a minute simply looking at the roof , in pure darkness , feeling the slightly denser energy this room had compared to the outside and sighed . " Fucking pain . "

A lady , dressed what could only be called the outfit of a dominatrix , with most of her body revealed for all daring eyes , sat on the same throne the man used to sit on just a few days ago . She held onto a wine glass between the fingers of here hand she leaned against the armrest .
The man who used to sit on that throne had a respectful expression as he kneeled with the other followers , with his head lowered and breath held , waiting to respond at a moment's notice .
The woman leisurely took sip of the wine which looked red as blood in this slightly dark room . She looked at the men and women below and said in a sweet , yet enchanting voice " Has it been done ? "
The man in front stood up and retrieved a plate , with the materials they needed for the ritual decorated on it . " We have made all preparations , Lady Mrith . We can take over the dimension at any time , but only if the people on it have their attention elsewhere . "
The woman's brows twitched slightly as she stared at the man " What is the problem . Be straightforward . "
The man nodded his head as he pointed at a subordinate of his' " This junior there reported that when his group went to gather the live blood of a Chimera , they encountered a tier 7 expert on this side of the planet . I am concerned too much of a racket might alert him if he is here for simply a breakthrough .
The woman seemingly understood what the man said . It was , after all , common for experts to find lower dimensions to make breakthroughs in a safe environment . Why was a planet filled with criminals a safe environment ? When an expert like her has the control over everything in their surroundings , it was near impossible for anyone below tier 6 to even approach them if they wished it so .
" This is indeed a problem " She said the words with concern , but her tone and the act of drinking wine right after saying the act made it seem contradictory . She seemed extremely calm as she looked at the wine glass in her hand as she ordered decisively " Commence Plan Omega . We begin now . "
The man's eyes widened , by then he revealed a sinister smile as he matched his gaze with the woman " As you wish , Lady Mrith . "
