Abyss Domination - Chapter 129

Chapter 129

A burst of vitality exploded in Soran!

Soran’s mouth was slightly bitter like he had just chewed a leaf . He did, in fact, consume a leaf . The taste was accompanied by a very strong vitality . It was hard to put the feeling into words, but the effects were very strong . His Constitution had been raised to 21, and his HP had been permanently increased by 10 . Now he had 146 HP, which was not much different from pure-bred Fighters of level 12 .

In fact, the Fighter’s Basic Health increased by 10 upon leveling, while a Rogue only increased by 6 .

A row of data appeared in front of Soran:

“You have consumed the [Leaf of Life]!

Your Constitution has been permanently increased by 1!…your HP has been permanently increased by 10!

Ability Rebirth [Elementary] has been upgraded to Rebirth [Intermediate]!

Even Rebirth has been upgraded?

Soran looked at his ability data with amazement and found that his Rebirth ability, which required 25 Constitution to upgrade, had been upgraded once already .

“Rebirth [Intermediate] (Gifted Abilities): Your incredible Constitution had gone beyond the range of ordinary people . Many injuries are no longer lethal to you . Your strong vitality allows you to regenerate like a troll so any serious injuries could be gradually recovered over time . Some physical disabilities can also recover by themselves . Although you cannot sprout another head, as your Constitution gradually increases, you could one day be able to achieve this feat . [Speed of HP regeneration per hour + 2]”

A strong and incomparable regeneration ability .

Soran looked at his ability data . He was incredibly excited and he murmured: “According to the regenerative effects now, I could regenerate 48 HP every 24 hours . That’s nearly one-third of my HP! That is to say that serious injuries could be restored to minor injuries within one day . If I wasn’t in a near-death state or have a disability, I would be able to recover within three days!

Rebirth was the most powerful survival ability .

Soran had dealt with an enemy with advanced Rebirth in the past . That guy only needed to find a place to hide for one day, and when he reappeared the next day, he was completely restored . If he could not kill him in one go, then it was completely pointless .

Compared to this, Treat Serious Wounds would only recover around 50 HP at one time . Even Priests took time to memorize divine spells, the number of divine spells they could memorize in a day wasn’t large . If you went against enemies with strong regenerative abilities, especially creatures like Vampires, you would think that they were multi-professioned in Priest .

The most insane creatures, however, were the inherent high-grade Vampires with advanced Rebirth ability . The could restore HP through sucking blood!

Their Challenge Rating of 15 was already putting it lightly .

There were plenty of Underdark monsters which were difficult to deal with because they had insane supernatural abilities .

Soran continued North .

Even though Soran had consumed the Leaf of Life, he could not be sure that his opponents would not be able to track him .

There must have been a reason for this extremely rare item to not have been used until now . It either had very special religious significance or may have other special uses . The fact that it could slightly improve one’s Constitution, add 10 HP, and gain an extra Rebirth ability, was already very attractive to any legendary profession .

After Soran had consumed the item, he would be able to withstand hits even when he was tied up!

The day was almost over .

Soran was not sure how long he had traveled . He just ran as fast as he could and chose areas with more shadows .

That was the advantage of Rogues .

Invisibility had a duration, but the Rogue’s Sneak ability had no time limit . If they were bored, they could even Sneak for a whole day . In the beginning, some people even transformed themselves into shadowy creatures, which further improved their stealth capabilities . After entering the higher-grade realm of legends, which was about a Profession Level of 25 for Rogues . They could also turn themselves permanently invisible through special rituals .

Even though it was extremely powerful, it hindered one’s social life .

Soran conservatively estimated that he had traveled more than 200 kilometers . He encountered many villages along the way and saw one large Elven town . There were not many cities in Elven territory . There were only five or six of them which were located in important places . They had somewhat of a city-state system where many places relied on the city to survive . Normally, there were no other large cities within a hundred kilometers of a city .

The southern parts were a third of Asia but only had around two-three hundred cities .

Not only that, cities were mainly gathered around the plains around rivers .

If it was close to deserts and primitive forests, the distribution of cities was more sparse . There were only six larger cities in the desert area, all of which were built marginally to the oasis areas . The development of cities in this era required the necessary conditions . Amber City could only rise because of the river diversion they did . If there were no natural geographical conditions, it was quite difficult to rely on human resources to lay the required foundations .

The sky began to darken .

Soran saw some eagles on the road but was not sure if they were the animal companion of Druids .

Still, he carefully avoided the creatures, slowing down in the shadows when they appeared in the sky . Soran did not even make a fire to cook . He merely ate the dried food he had, and then began to move on . With his extraordinary Constitution of 21, it did not take too much energy for him to travel such distance . The Darkvision of the Shadow Dancer gave him even more advantage at night . If the Knight in Silver was following him, then night time would be the best period to create distance between them .

Their speed should be around the same, but the Knight in Silver would not be able to track at night .

wild beasts were active at night time .

Soran heard a lot of beasts and saw some green eyes . He was almost out of the Elven borders, but he did not go deep into the forest . He had been advancing on the edge because the possibility of encountering Druids inside the forest was very high, and many Druids liked to live in seclusion in primitive forests .

A-whooo!

Howls of wolves could be heard in the distance .

Soran looked toward the hill ahead and saw that there were fewer trees .

Some of the howls were louder than others . Those were the howls of Worgs . Soran was now close to the Orc’s border . Although the Orcs were good at domesticating the Worgs and training elite Worg cavalries, there were only one or two thousand units in an entire tribe . A Worg cavalry needed hundreds of thousands of people to support it . Much of the meat required came from war corpses and executed criminals . The Orcs had reduced the number of domesticated Worgs several times during this period because of their huge consumption of meat . They might even continue to reduce their numbers this winter .

However, Worgs were relatively easy to rear .

The real money burner were the Drow’s Basilisks . Soran often saw people throwing corpses to feed them in the Underdark .

After crossing this barren hilly area, he gradually moved closer to the north . The fortress of the Barbarian was on a mountain over there, where the oldest and purest Barbarian traditional training was passed down, and every year advanced Barbarians visited it . Soran tried their way of training once; carrying huge stones along the mountain path in the cold wind . An absolutely torturous way of training .

After three days, Soran had advanced more than 800 kilometers and was now a little closer to the Frost Kingdom .

The temperature got lower and lower .

The ground had begun to freeze and there was a heavy dew in the morning . The distant mountains had half of their tops covered by snow and ice . The animals that lived here had a lot of thick furs to adapt to the cold climate . Soran looked somewhat shabby with some beard on his chin and a pair of much more tired eyes . However, when he saw a distant peak which looked like the Himalayas, a slight smile appeared on his face .

He was finally about to reach the Frozen Valley!
