676. New Titles

***

Title for Great Feats:

Requirements for three Titles have been met!

“Three, huh?”

I was surprised by that. I had only gotten one Title the last time around. And it was a corrupted Title. But now, I got three Titles for defeating Hartia. I wondered what they were. Although I didn’t waste speculating on what they could be.

Looking down, I saw Haec, Taburas, Bertrugil, and Aemula waiting for me alongside the Third Legion. They were getting ready to go— for them, time was of the essence. While we might have been able to handily defeat Hartia, we didn’t know how long it would take before Regnorex learned of what happened here.

So while we still had the element of surprise, Haec wanted to assail the other legions, freeing them before Regnorex could act.

I agreed with his plan here. Especially if it would save my friends back in the Mortal Realm from Regnorex’s invasion. But first, I needed to deal with my new Titles

I looked back up towards the rift that was hovering before me. I entered it, before finding myself back in [The World Of My Mind]. While I hadn’t needed to use my [Riftwalk] to leave my own pocket space back into the Netherworld, I had just wanted to test it out.

Now, I found myself surrounded by the glass-like walls of my pocket space. The only thing in the room with me was the rift that was still open, even without any upkeep. Focusing for a moment, I closed it completely.

But my eyes flickered as I realized I could reopen it at any time I wanted. 

“So I can turn my pocket space into a hub of portals…”

I rubbed my chin, intrigued. 

“Now that would be useful.”

But I didn’t focus on that for now. Instead, I turned my attention to my Titles.

“What do you have for me?”

Titles:

(The Enemy of the Demon King)

You have made an enemy out of the current Demon King and his forces! While many have made the Demon King their enemy, few have been able to make the Demon King consider them an enemy. So to have earned his wrath, proving yourself to be quite special. But whether or not this would go well for you is yet to be seen…

+150 to [Vitality]

+40 to [Wisdom]

+10 to [Strength]

+10 to [Endurance]

+10 to [Agility]

Bonuses:

*You are less likely to be detected as a threat by wild Demons!

“That’s quite ominous…”

I remarked as I considered the Title. I would have expected to have gotten this Title much sooner. But other than having messed with his initial plans to invade the Mortal Realm, I hadn’t really interfered with his affairs that much.

Until now. 

So it made sense that I was finally given this Title. Even if it made sense if I had gotten this Title sooner. 

“That’s a massive boost to my [Vitality], huh?”

It was almost like it was a sign that I was going to need a lot of help if I ever had to face Regnorex. But the drawback was that all my other Stats would decrease from what they currently were.

But considering all the other boost in Stats I had just gotten with my Class advancement, I would still be significantly stronger than before, all-around. 

I’d just be slightly weaker than I currently was. Except more durable.

And considering that I hadn’t even gotten into a fight right now yet, I was seriously debating whether or not to pick this Title.

“There’s also that Bonus…”

It was tempting. After all, it would help me with my current plan too. Even now, my clones were still flying across the Netherworld, searching for it. 

So this Title would indeed be quite useful to me. Potentially.

“But I have other Titles to look at.”

I shook my head as my mind focused on what came next. 

(Faeslayer)

You have accomplished what few have done in recent times by defeating a Fairy in battle! While many have accomplished this task before in the past, it has become a rarity in the modern age! As such, it is considered to be quite a feat— or quite detestable, depending on who you ask!

+20 to [Vitality]

+20 to [Strength]

+20 to [Endurance]

+20 to [Wisdom]

+20 to [Agility]

“Huh. I didn’t expect that.”

It was certainly surprising. Even if I wasn’t tempted to choose it. Not only was it a downgrade from my current Title, but it also didn’t make sense for me to choose it. After all, I hadn’t killed Hartia.

I had only trapped him in a prison of corruption.

“Not really useful. It doesn’t even have a Bonus.”

I shrugged at myself.  I quickly dismissed this Title as an option, moving onto the next one.

And the last one…

Well, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise, at this point.

+60 to [Vitality]

+60 to [Strength]

+60 to [Endurance]

+60 to [Wisdom]

+60 to [Agility]

Bonuses:

*You have the same Bonuses and Title Skills as a (S̶̛̼̗̅ecė̶̺̜͕ly’s S̶̛̼̗̅ė̶̺̜͕ntǐ̶̬nĕ̷̪ͅͅl̵̨̦̗͗̔̃)!

*You are able to control corrupted entities that are significantly weaker than you!

“Hmm, yes, I understand everything that was just said.”

It sounded like a buzzing noise in my mind— the chittering of the corrupted creatures. I felt like it would have hurt a lot more, if I hadn’t just become a Corrupted Apprentice.

Still, I heavily considered what I was offered right here. It was an overall increase in all my Stats. But considering that my previous Title gave +50 to everything, this would have been a negligent increase at best.

The only benefit came from me keeping all my Title Skills. However, I was almost more than certain that my current Title Skills were reproducible with [Corruption Mastery]. Or at the very least, once [Corruption Mastery] reached a higher level, it would be able to replicate the effects of [Protection of the Corruption] and [Corruption Camouflage].

Even to a greater degree.

There was also the carryover with the Bonuses to be considered. As far as I remembered, the biggest benefits of my previous Title Bonuses came from the fact that I was immune to the corruption.

Which was quite a big benefit if I ever wanted to return to the end of the world. 

“Although… with my current Class, I wouldn’t even be attacked by corruption in the first place, unless I provoked them. So is there really a point to having that Bonus?”

But I had other Bonuses to consider with my current Title. There was the fact that I was more resilient to magic damage. However, I couldn’t really quantify it. And I barely had any experience with it seeing how much it helped, since I was normally protected by an aura of invulnerability, or too fast to hit for my enemies.

After all, I was always fighting enemies higher-leveled than me. And with me having a relatively low [Vitality] for my level— unless when I had an additional boost from my Grand Skills— I was still quite fragile, on my own.

And that was not even considering the fact that Regnorex was not known for his magic. So having a magic resistance seemed useless against him.

The only real benefits my Bonuses gave me were the fact that my Grand Skills’ cooldowns were reduced by 50%, and the fact that I could control corrupted creatures that were significantly weaker than me.

However… I felt like having a handful of maybe corrupted beings that were maybe around Level 50 to 100 wouldn’t really turn the tides of battle against Regnorex. So that left the shortened cooldown between my Grand Skill uses.

I pursed my lips as I debated between becoming a Corrupted Sentinel or The Enemy of the Demon King. 

Becoming a Faekiller wasn’t even an option.

I remembered my plan as I tilted my head back.

“I feel like becoming The Enemy of the Demon King would be more useful to me now… and I could always change Titles to… um, Corrupted Sentinel in the future, right?”

I closed my eyes as I took in a deep breath. 

“So I think I know what I must do.”

And I made my decision.

Title Lost!
