Chapter 813 Isn’t this why you’re here? Are you not entertained?

Ilea did eventually summon her bed, leaving the lava to cool off in the nigh indestructible stone bath provided by the Meadow. The molten rock provided some warmth in the room though she did send a bit of ash over to cover the light. Her bed she reinforced with ash as well, though she found the mattress itself nowhere near as comfortable as it had been in the past. Wyvern feathers, was it? I guess at this point I’d need Trakorov scales or something.

She slowly formed an ashen framework and put her bed away once more, the ash spreading out before it caught her. Could infuse it with the command of being comfortable. Hey, why not actually, she tried and found the ash changing shape to accommodate her wishes. Ilea smiled, pulling the ash blankets closer. The perfect bed.

The only problem remained that she wasn’t exactly tired. Yes, she hadn’t slept in a long while. Yes, she had fought to near death dozens of times. And yes, she had spent two entire months finding the most efficient ways to level Eternal Huntress.

Compared to eating however, she couldn’t just start to sleep.

So what else do I need to work on? So many things fought and killed. Almost feels like I’m cleaning up Kohr. As if it were some massive dungeon. She smiled at herself, wondering why none of the Ascended had done what she was doing. They were at a higher level after all, and with their preparation skills. Maybe they’re just not resilient enough to even risk it. Calling me a weak being of flesh, then having to defend against my attacks. Fucking pathetic.

Or it could just be because they can’t handle fighting the monsters they themselves created. What is left of the Navuun. She wondered if the massive void monsters were really made from Navuun. Or if their appearance had to do with the missing sun. I bet they’re just straight up too weak. Vor Elenthir defended against my attacks when I was at three hundred and I bet I could’ve pushed Ker Velor if not for his facility.

She did assume neither used everything they had, but then what was the point of a serious fight? If they hadn’t even taken her seriously, how would they advance their levels at all?

The thought of a four mark flying void monster absolutely destroying an Ascended brought her some joy as she absentmindedly scrolled through the messages from the past months.

Ilea realized soon after starting her extended hunt that the creatures, while similar looking and equipped with similar magic, weren’t exactly the same. Not just the names were different but the way they fought. Some were more defensive, others ridiculously aggressive. All of them attacked her on sight however, and didn’t communicated in any way, leaving her with little qualms about her actions. Even Violence called them monsters, though she did consider the possibility of them simply being too strange for even the little Fae to understand. Something she assumed the critter would never admit to.

Take that, Maureen. I bet it took you centuries to get to your level. She giggled a little, knowing she had an entire realm of high level creatures to herself. While they did offer fewer rewards as time went on, the fact that Kohr existed just made her excited to find other places like it. Monster infested hells just waiting for her. Fighting the same similar creatures wasn’t just less rewarding for her Classes and skills, it just became more boring. Though she had to admit that a hundred levels with no evolutions or any major changes to her skills only somewhat made the fights easier or less dangerous. She assumed the main thing she benefited from was simply her experience in fighting the creatures.

With all her teleportation skills, Primordial Shift, and her increased perception in dangerous situations, the Architect’s trap remained the most dangerous experience she somewhat recently had in Kohr. Of course she had fled from the underwater creature, unsure as to how much danger she had really been in. It had certainly felt terrifying.

Out of her whopping 1238 new stat points, she used 225 to get her Endurance, Strength, and Dexterity to six hundred each. The rest went into her three main attributes, leaving her with twenty nine remaining stat points she held on to for now. The growth was noticeable in her battles against the monsters of Kohr and her training with both the Meadow and the Core Guardians, though the progress had been slow and gradual, same as with her remaining skill growth.

Ilea’s eyes twitched when she came across the Huntress notifications again, all the marks in her mind suddenly much closer. She took in a deep breath and shuddered, meditating and circulating arcane healing through her brain. Never again. Please, please don’t let me get it to the fourth tier. I don’t want to.

She was busy focusing on her meditation and healing, simply ignoring the notification as she kept her breathing steady.

Reaching the end of the enhanced third tier in her Arcane Eternal Class hadn’t unlocked an option for the fourth tier, though Ilea assumed she was just missing some other requirements. It did give her a core point at least.

Her Ashen Titan skills at least leveled organically during the often several days long battles with the landscape sized void monsters. As did the skills for the Primordial Arbiter. Those even leveled faster than the rest, the flame of creation one of the most important aspects in dealing with the eldritch creatures.

The upgrades to Bulwark and Spear of ash were quite a boon. The damage bonuses they provided were additive as everything else, but her ability to invest five thousand mana every ten seconds to instantly form both walls and spears allowed for a noticeable increase in both her defense and offense. Mainly it allowed her to stay in the battle for longer, the walls letting her tank a single hit while her teleportation was on cooldown, usually without having to use her healing. And the spears were self explanatory. The more ash she could throw at the monsters, the faster they were covered in the fires of creation.

She hadn’t allocated much of her time to figure out Star Touched, enough skills and abilities to work on that felt like a higher priority. Still she earned a few levels by doing everything else, likely because at the end of the day, she was exposed to the light of stars during much of her time, at least in Elos.

Her resistances mostly benefited from the Core Guardians she trained with regularly. By now she was glad to be done with her Huntress skill, the guardians and many more of Aki’s high level machines responsible for the quick advancement of quite a few of her perception and visual skills.

Ilea assumed her high divination gains weren’t just related to Cless. The enchantments she had on her room and Felicia’s mansion made her not give much of a shit about it. Though she did look into possible skills and abilities that could allow her to find and teleport to the various origins of the divination spells. Options supposedly existed, but not without changing Classes.

She could feel herself calming down as she read through the messages again, already getting to the core points.

‘ding’ ‘You have been reduced to at least 75% sludge 250 times. One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have survived 1000 uses of a fourth tier spell. One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have slain fifty creatures 1000 levels above your own. One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have Enhanced and leveled all skills of one Class to the end of the third tier. One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have slain one hundred creatures 1000 levels above your own. One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have Enhanced and leveled all skills of two Classes to the end of the third tier. One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have faced the Core Guardians of Iz for one continuous hour and survived. One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have Enhanced and leveled all skills of three Classes to the end of the third tier. One Core skill point awarded’

Fifty two total core points from both her level ups and whatever was considered exceptional. Points she held on to for now, just in case a potential fourth tier upgrade required a large amount of points. That and her inability to decide on which other use of the points would be the most beneficial.

Reading through her entire status novel, she finally drifted off to sleep.
