Weapons of Mass Destruction

Chapter 512: Bye Bye Focused Channeler

We hide inside one of the huge stone pillars connecting the floor to the ceiling. They turn out to be surprisingly durable, and it takes a great deal of effort to carve our way inside, with Sophie manipulating the stone to close the way behind us while I use one of my tiny black orbs to destroy any trace of our mana before allowing it to crumble away.

With our signatures hidden and the area shielded by a multitude of webs and arrays, we take a moment to sit around the gentle light of a normal candle that burns surprisingly bright in the dimness of our hidey-hole, keeping our usage of mana to a minimum.

The hideout is cramped, and the air within is stale and heavy, carrying faint traces of the dust shaken loose by our excavations. The walls, smooth yet imperfect, hold an eerie stillness, their muted gray surfaces serving to absorb the flickering glow of our single candle. It casts elongated shadows that stretch and twist across the stone in an unnerving manner.

As we settle in, so too does the weight of our exhaustion. Every breath feels heavier, every sound rings louder in near silence. Even the candlelight feels fragile, as though the oppressive darkness might snuff it out at any moment.

Put simply, the morale has never been better.

After a day of running and fighting, we all seem to have leveled up, but after having to heal all that damage and disintegrate these unhealing wounds, Lily, now with short black hair, is running out of her mana. So, currently, we sit here waiting for her to recover.

"I'm sorry, Grumpy," Gareth apologizes. "I’ve been working on modifying my skill so I can do more to help you next time."

"It's fine! I can heal a lot; I just want to have some reserves in case things go to shit." She says, tapping her backpack.

Thankfully, no one asks what she has in it; it would be difficult to explain. Also, what's up with her language recently?

(Will you keep watch for me?) I ask Tess.

(Go for it,) she confirms.

So I pull myself further into my corner and close my eyes, hoping that the process of upgrading my class won't make me scream or anything. That would be awkward. I have an image to maintain.

First, for good old times' sake, I check my previous class. I know I haven't been giving it a lot of attention lately, but it’s served me well.

Focused Channeler (Epic)

Active Skill: [Mana Domain] - Establishes a limited area, granting the user a heightened degree of control and influence over the flow of mana, providing various tactical advantages.

Active Skill:[Tether] - Anchors the user's mana to a specific location, enabling quick return or other location-based effects.

Passive Skill: Mana Reservoir (Epic) - Allows the user to slowly and gradually store mana beyond their natural maximum, effectively increasing their total mana pool.

Bonuses:

Constitution +20

Mana +100

I still have [Mana Domain] even now, and I’m hoping to keep it because of the applied effect of Pride to it. I used [Tether] in a skill fusion to create [Ley Line], a skill I still explore and have great expectations from, and lastly, the passive skill Mana Reservoir, which I’ve since upgraded into a unique epic passive.

Well, thank you, Focused Channeler, and bye.

Congratulations! You have chosen the Primary class - Mana Weaver (Unique Arcane). In the future, you may be able to upgrade your class or exchange it for a new one, befitting your actions at that point within the tutorial.

Another window pops up:

Congratulations! You have acquired a new Primary Class:

Mana Weaver (Unique Arcane)

Active skill:[Empyrean Lance] - A luminous spear of refined mana, charged with harmonic frequencies that resonate with both matter and energy. The lance punctures its target, releasing concentric waves of destabilizing force that disrupts the target’s structure, causing a cascading breakdown as mana vibrations radiate outward. This overwhelming attack leaves a residual field of unstable energy. räNốBЁⱾ

Active skill:No available slot detected.

Passive Skill: Mana Wavelength Tyrant (Mid Arcane) - The wavelength of the user's mana imposes itself on the surrounding environment, forcing ambient mana in the vicinity to harmonize with their energy, creating areas of heightened mana density. This synchronization creates a natural pull that gradually collects energy. This field expands outward, drawing ambient energy into a controlled and harmonious stream centered on the user.

Bonuses:

Mana +500

Active skill slots fully occupied. Performance check initiated. Unique class classification confirmed. Champion Candidate status identified. Body modifications detected. Beyond attendee designation confirmed. Winner of the First Tournament, fifth round, detected.
