The town looked pretty much the same as it was the last time Rezar was here, heck it even looked as if there was an increase in population. Rezar didn't know if he should feel annoyed about the fact that everyone had just carried on with their lives after what had happened to him here. But there wasn't anything he could do, even when they lost their loved ones; life still went as usual.
Per agreement he was supposed to meet with Lenore and the group of people he was supposed to party up with, and while that would be the wise choice, Rezar felt the need to be a little mischievous, besides he was still holding a bit of a grudge against everyone in this town, guilty or not, most of them had chosen to remain silent when he was being killed for a crime he didn't commit.
Which was why he was happily strolling through the mining town with 62 undead in tow, safe to say he totally threw everything off key and out of balance as there were screams of shock and fear. Children ran to their mothers, or at the very least those that did have parents did. Men grabbed weapons in an attempt to put up a fight, most of the women did the same, but regardless no one was willing to make a move.
Death or even an Injury from anything associated with a death class would be fatal to anyone living, and should they die, there was no coming back from that, it was permanent, death for real with no hopes of a reincarnation or a chance of ever coming back. His march through the town was akin to an invasion, but that could be farther from the truth, Rezar was just here to level up his skills in preparation for the dungeon.
Perhaps it would be best if he raised the level of his classes, but right now, Rezar knew getting too strong, too fast wasn't a good idea. Besides rushing for a higher level without properly getting familiar with his skills and current strength wouldn't be wise, frankly speaking should he come face to face with someone more in sync and conversant with his or her skills then Rezar would be seriously fucked.
But leveling up his skills would be better, plus it would help with completing the vampire racial change quest. And doing that would make him stronger, honestly getting more strength would make these people see him as more of a threat, but the alternative wasn't fun either. Being weak when it was obvious all of Elysium would love to stomp him into the ground was not the kind of life he wanted to have for himself. It was better to be able to fight back, rather than passively swallowing every kind of shit they decide to feed him.
Rezar eventually made his way to the spire without any incident, check even the militia responsible for keeping the safety in the town had kept a respectable distance from Rezar and his small army of undead rodents. Rezar had to admit this was better, since they couldn't love him and just accept him for who he is, then it was better they hated and feared him, at least that way, they'll back the fuck off!
The skills Rezar wanted to focus on the most were his active skills, to at least give him more damage during battle, but he also knew his greatest advantaged laid in his passive skills, and if he had to be honest, he had some really fearsome passive skills. His focus would be on the passive skills (God Sight), (ignore Defense), and (Sword Mastery). The combination of god sight and the passive skill ignore defense was beyond brutal.
Ignore defense completely ignored any sort of defense, and coupled with God sight that was capable of finding weak points in an opponent or object, and whether is weapons or spell craft, Rezar would deal the most damage by attacking the most optimum location and with a higher accuracy than most. High level rangers, rogues and archers had similar skills, but that would have them stay still for a while.
But the cost to raise these passive skills was beyond insane, God sight alone required twenty whole skill points, while ignore defense required five skill points to raise it to basic level 2. God sight was an understandably powerful skill as it didn't have tiers but just levels, the sword mastery skill just needed two skill points to raise it from basic level 5 to six, Rezar was going to raise it to intermediate.
As for the active skills, he didn't want to hang too much on them as they were mostly spells and grew faster than his passive skills, so a few more battles and pretty soon most of them would be hitting the intermediate tier, but none the less active skills were important for the battle ahead, and it would be good to make sure that at least one or two were up to par.
So he would raise Rot to intermediate and power strike to basic level 5. Rot was already level 7, so raising it to intermediate would cost six skill points, and power strike was pretty common and cost one skill point per level to it level 5 and two skills points thereafter. With all that accepted, he facilitated the level up of his skills.
{Spend 46 skill points to raise (God Sight LVL1=> LVL2), (Ignore Defense LVL1=> LVL2), (Sword Mastery BasicLVL5=> Intermediate LVL1), (Rot Basic LVL7=>Intermediate LVL1), (Power Strike Basic LVL1=> Basic LVL5}

There was no prompt that he had completed any of the racial mission, but Rezar understood why, he also had to get a passive normal and active normal skill to intermediate. But once that was done, he would be left with only two really off putting missions. He had to drink a person's blood till they're dead, and then he had to taste the blood of at least twenty-five different living beings. Only then would he have been considered to have completed the vampire racial quest.
"Rezar! What the fuck do you think you're doing!"
Lenore's annoyed voice screamed out from behind Rezar, well it wasn't as if she screamed, but it was loud and imposing enough to actually be considered one. Never the less Rezar turned to face her, a bright smile on his face. Whatever it is she had to say, or whatever she was going to do to prover her superiority, right now, Rezar didn't care, because judging by the look on her face, he got exactly what he wanted and pissed her the fuck off, life was good.
