The Jake who leapt off the roof was nothing like the one who had jumped into the battle with Gerulf a few moments earlier. All of his Aether stats had been boosted by his victories, his physical attributes having been upgraded by about 16 points, and his Constitution reached the 100-point mark.
His Intelligence had crossed the 30 point mark, while his Perception had also increased slightly. In addition to this was the acquisition of the Seventh Stat, Extrasensory Perception. On top of that, he still had a little more than 100 Aether points available to invest at any time.
Determined not to waste Priscus' sacrifice, Jake used his Shadow Guide as a compass to quickly flee in the optimal direction.Sprinting and bouncing on the roof of Cassius' residence like a kangaroo, each of his footsteps would crush some of the brick tiles that made up the roof and shake the building. For the sake of discretion this was a failure.
