Chapter 42 - Return

After defeating the Dragon Berserker suddenly the Monitor gave a notification,

[ Congratulations, you Leveled Up ]

[ You Leveled Up ]

[ You Leveled Up ]

[ You Leveled Up ]

[ You Leveled Up ]

[ Select your skill : .... ]

"Hmm.... a new skill huh, that's good... eh"

While checking some of the new skills Rook was surprised to see a skill.

" Is this Reverse Heal = Focused !!! " He said in surprise as he saw the information about the skill.

[ Skill : Reverse Heal = Focused ]

[ Type : Drain, Focused, Active, Close quarter, Middle Quarter. ]

[ Usage: - Reduce MP : -60.000 ]

[ - Reduce HP : - 20.000 ]

[ Reduced Defense for 5 minutes in exchange for Increased Speed, Strength, Awareness and Agility drastically. ]

[ Bleeding Effect Included if the user use the skill while holding sharp weapon. ]

Seeing this information, Rook couldn't help but gasp, this is the first time he's seen a skill that uses a little MP, usually every skill he uses uses a lot of MP so he always wastes MP potions.

"Besides, the cooldown of this skill is only 1 hour, this is more efficient when compared to ordinary Reverse Heal which has a cooldown of up to 4-5 hours."

"This way it will be easier for me to fight at close range, after all this skill can help as an alibi if anyone suspects me of being a Drainer."

"(...Considering that a Drainer can only cast the skill at long range.)"

Rook muttered to himself, meanwhile Dark Merchant who was watching from behind patted his shoulder and said.

"Hey, what about that other skill, you still have a lot of skill points...?"

"Hmm .... another skill huh, .... another skill ... er this is fine."

[ Skill : Wide Senses = Radar ]

[ Type : Sensor, Radar, Auto, Area, Passive ]

[ Sense Enemy Nearby in the Area for at least 400m ]

[ Plus, user can sense the presence of .. ]

"Wait for this skill…."

[ .... Unusual Beings .. ]

"Unusual Beings… ?" Rook muttered in confusion.

Seeing that, the Dark Merchant, replied,

"Hmm.... That's fine."

"Maybe what do you mean?" Rook asked confused.

"Isn't it obvious, with that skill, you can detect unusual creatures appearing on the monitor's radar."

"Unusual creatures..."

"Yeah, I mean creatures like invisible creatures (ghosts), Zombies, and most likely..."

" ... that skill can help you detect the presence of " Undead " .. "

Hearing the word Undead, Rook was flabbergasted, while looking at the skill again he remembered Vera who was suspected of being Undead or maybe she wasn't human anymore.

"Oh yeah... Rook don't forget!!!" while pointing to a skill.

"(Looking)... hmmm what skill is that...? " answered Rook while looking at a skill called ..

[ Bleeding Edge ]

Then the Dark Merchant explained about the skill, only half the explanation suddenly opened a portal but this time, the portal was in the form of a crack.

"Wait a minute what portal is that? I've never seen such a portal!!"

"Hey Dark Merchant, try to scan first with your Monitor is this the new "Gate Waveround" portal or..."

The Dark Merchant who was doing the scan was surprised and said

"Rook let's go to the portal."

"Why... is that.."

"Yeah it's a "Rift" portal to get out of here."

Rook, still unsure, asked again.

"Rifts...?? ".

"What kind of portal is that? he asked confused because he just found out there is this kind of portal.

"Don't worry, the Rift is a type of portal that connects with Ley Lines* of various dimensions."

"Oh yes .... we will separate here, you go into the Rift on the left according to the scan the Rift goes directly to your cell room."

"How come, how come..."

Before he finished speaking, Rook was immediately pushed towards the Rift. While the monsters were finally freed from their cages due to the death of the guard, all the monsters finally cheered especially the orc, but the smiling monster could only lose his smile and go somewhere.

"Too bad he went straight home, even though I wanted to get to know him first." said the monster who was interested in Rook.

After passing through the dimensional journey through the strange portal, Rook quickly returned to his cell...

"(Inhale) ..... I'm back ..." said Rook surprised when he looked around where from his room it was seen that it was the cell room he was occupying at that time.

Then suddenly, a voice came from outside, at that time the door opened and when the guards came in, they asked..

"Why the fuss?" asked the guard.

Hearing the question, Rook wanted to answer it but for some reason he felt something strange about the question.

( On the other hand)

Doctor Kara is also trying to repair Gustang's cyborg hand, it looks like the artificial hand was destroyed due to the use of his fire orb, the other Squad members sat outside while waiting for the results.

Then after the operation was over, Kara's doctor came out to tell them that Gustang was fine then the doctor continued talking about their next mission and didn't forget to add a mission.

"Soar East Middle School!!!!!" Jak asked confused.

"What's with the school?"

"Isn't it obvious, I wanted to investigate a bit about the school since their alumni are like Carlos, Vera, and Rook and the Necromancer's underlings."

"Besides, I've read an article about a school event that was destroyed because of the monsters called Goaters, besides.... there's more... take a good look."
