I went towards Persephone and sized her the three skills we got from the boss, everyone having seen me give all three Shadow skills to Darke, so there was no need to explain what happened to them to her, besides she doesn't seem to have any need for them, shadows didn't seem to be her thing. But if she required any sort of compensation I'll be more than willing to give all the skills back to her, however all she took was the (PSYCHIC SCREAM) Leaving behind the (GHOST BOLT) &(ARCANE s.h.i.+ELD).

I handed the s.h.i.+eld skill to Raven Song but he returned it back to me, apparently he had enough of such skills in his a.r.s.enal now, and the ghost bolt did not interest him either. However Qitar expressed some interest in the ghost bolt skill, so I gave it to her and then gave the Arcane s.h.i.+eld to Dinah. She's never been on the front lines in any of our fights, but I think it would be nice if she had a way to protect herself should things go wrong and we're unable to get to her on time.

To top it off was the skill combining gems and the Dark Sentinel a.s.sa.s.sin armor. I already had a couple of skill combining gems with me, about six or seven of them, so placed it with the five gained from the dungeon and handed it to the crew, whoever needed it could one a way to split it with the rest. Then I gave the armor to Darke who's face showed more expressions today than I've ever seen since we met, and I swear it looked like he was smiling. However smiles looked terrible on his face, yes he looked exactly like his brothers, but I think his brooding personality has made it so that whenever he smiles it's hideous. Or that should just be me, very terrified of the idea of Darke smiling.

Well with all of them settled, it was now my turn, I didn't need any new skills at the moment, and to be honest it's about time I got the ones I currently had to much more stronger level. But before that, I've gained a total of 8 levels during this entire expedition, most of such I had to attribute to that Sentinel Dungeon, those guys gave a s.h.i.+t ton of exp. And I'm pretty sure I would be at a much more higher level if I didn't have to share Exp with Persephone who was completely useless during the dungeon run.

I almost never have a need to use my stat points, with all of the bonus I get from cla.s.s, and every other t.i.tle in play I could more than cover for it, and to be honest with how must stat points I already have allocated, anything I add would be a drop in the ocean anyways. The thing is as soon as I pa.s.sed the 100 mark with my stats, I would only be able to see any significant improvements at milestones the system set in place.

The first was at stats 200, I suspect the next would be at stats 500, which is actually a milestone my dexterity and agility stats were close to reaching. Either way with that out of the way what I had to focus on next were my skills, which I believe were due for an upgrade. The skills can level up by themselves from constant usage, but obviously such a method adjust too slow.

I need to level up most of my active skills, especially the ones that I find myself using more in combat, and since I have quite a few skill points to spare, I believe there's no time like the presence for me to be able to take care of it. So first things first, I was going to level up Mana arrows, followed by lightning blade, then storm dance , Quake and then Lava pool.

It w as quite hard to make a voice from these three, but in the end I chose to go for another effect. Because no matter how I see it, Mana seemed was just to amazing to let go of.

And then that was it, nothing else, no mastery of any other extra skill to follow up with it. But it wasn't bad, the lightning bolt skill won the coin toss for this, which was great because I needed more magic skills.

{SPEND 12 SKILL POINTS TO RAISE STORM DANCE TO ADVANCED RANK LEVEL 1....STORM DANCE IS NOW ADVANCED RANK LEVEL 1}

2. ERUPTION (EFFECT): AS LONG AS THE OPPONENT IS STUCK WITHIN THE LAVA POOL FOR 5 SECONDS THE POOL WILL ERRUPT CAUSING CONSTANT DAMAGE OF 200% OF YOU INTELLIGENCE STAT FOR 5 SECONDS.

Good G.o.d! That eruption effect was insane, all I had to do was make sure that the person shared by the pool remains there for at least five seconds. But that's wasn't it for all of my skills, at least for today anyway. Maybe ill focus on the pa.s.sive when there wasn't a ma.s.sive white and gold yacht heading for my s.h.i.+p, a yacht that I actually recognized.
