Chereads / Harbinger Of Nightmares: I Can Summon Nightmare Creatures / Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Preparing For The Storm

Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Preparing For The Storm

On the bottom of his status window, there was a Level Up button with a red exclamation mark indicating that he could level up anytime, clicking on the Level Up button a system alert appeared.

[Would you like to Level Up?]

[Yes/No]

After clicking on Yes, Suddenly the very next instant an intense purple aura appeared enveloping his entire body….emitting an extremely strong and vitalizing aura.

The intense purple aura then started swirling around him at an intense speed, enveloping Aron's entire body in a small purple tornado that swept away the surrounding gray fog, illuminating the surroundings in a purple glow…

[You have Leveled Up!]

[You have Leveled Up!]

[You have Leveled Up!]

[You have Leveled Up!]

[You have Leveled Up!]

[You have Leveled Up!]

After a while the purple tornado started dissipating and Aron who had been encased within it found himself once again surrounded by the same purple aura that had appeared when he had leveled up last time…

'I can feel it…the tremendous amount of Nargy coursing throughout my body…my body feels even lighter than before and my muscles feel tighter and stronger than before, I can now sense everything that is a hundred meters around me….and most importantly, my wings have fully grown now and I can fully feel them…'

Opening his status window he started going through all the changes that had taken place…

Looking at his status window he couldn't help but grin in satisfaction…

'My Nargy reserves just went off the charts! These 2700 Nargy points are crazy! With this much, I can easily summon the purple-black flames for a long time…my health and stamina have also increased by quite a lot…'

Looking at his boosted attributes he noticed that, with every level up his vitality, intelligence, agility, and senses were receiving major boosts compared to the rest…

'As far as I know….In RPG games, characters that tend to favor attributes such as intelligence, agility, and senses mostly belong to either the mage or ranger category….The Gospeler of Nightmares seems more likely to be inclined towards the mage category…and considering my monstrous Nargy reserves… it's more likely to be the case…..'

Looking at his free attribute points…' Damn! I've got quite a lot of free attribute points…For now, I will just add it to my agility and senses, to make it alive from this place…'

From the 250 free attributes points he adds 80 to agility and 80 to senses, boosting them even further…

[Agility: 315 → 395]

[Senses: 357 → 437]

As soon as he added the free attribute points to his Agility and Senses, he instantly felt the effect. Suddenly his body felt, even more lighter and his movements much swifter than before, his senses were also much sharper than before and now he could sense everything within the radius of 200 meters around him…

After that, he directly added all the skill points to Kasimos Flames, leveling it up to level 8…

[Kasimo's Flames have been Leveled Up to Level 7]

[Kasimo's Flames have been Leveled Up to Level 8]

After that, he added all his Talent points to both Nightmare Body and Shroud Of Nightmares, leveling up them both to level 5…

[Nightmare Body has been Leveled Up to Level 5]

[Shroud Of Nightmares has been Leveled Up to Level 5]

After leveling up Nightmare body to level 5 he received +50 Health, +100 Nargy, +10 stamina, +10 strength, +8 agility, +150 vitality, +15 intelligence, +20 defense, +8 senses…

After leveling up Shroud Of Nightmares from level 3 to level 5 he received +200 Nargy

After fully leveling up he opens the Echos window, he hadn't checked on the new echo he received after completing the system quest.

Opening the Echo window located on the left side of the status screen, he found the newest echo of the Nightmare Bomber there, clicking on the echo a small information window appeared, displaying all the information about the Nightmare Bomber…

----------------------

'This one is even more terrifying than the Solaris-Iromot! Although the Nightmare-Bomber is quite frail, its bombs are absolutely terrifying! And when you add the unpredictable destructive effects it further increases its overall value… not to mention the massive AOE of 30 meters…'

'This thing is a real Nightmare…'

Aron then equipped the Nightmare Bomber by placing it in the 3rd circle, right below the Solaris-Iromot…

Now out of the five echo-equipping circles, three were currently occupied leaving only two empty spots for the future echoes…

After that, he looked at the top end of the status screen, where his total amount of Naruka gems was displayed…

Currently, he had accumulated a total of 3600 Naruka gems after completing the system quest…

He opened the system store…

System-Shop

-Weapon-Shop

-Armor-Shop

-Relic-Shop

-Potion-Shop

-Simulator [Locked]

-Dungeon Challenge [Locked]

-Exchange-Centre

Looking at all the options he clicked on the Weapon Shop, and soon a new window appeared in front of him…

The Weapon Shop displayed a vast array of weapons, there were all kinds of weapons like swords, spears, claymores, grimoires, and guns.

Aron was looking for a good long-range weapon that suited his style very well, as soon as he saw that there were guns available he started sweeping through all of the available guns…
