Book 4: Chapter 104: Tower in the Ocean
<strong>Scarlet</strong>
In the end I do as the general suggests and find Amelia. Which doesnt take very long considering I can smell pretty much anyone and everyone within a veryrge radius around this base, not to mention hear everything.
A rather unpleasant factor of my advancement only dampened a bit by the fact that I have more control over it. Since I can lower my sensitivity.
Good thing too, considering the fact that base or not, were still near the frontlines. Even if theres a ceasefire right now.
And battlefields dont tend to smell very good.
Anyways, the main reason I manage to find Amelia though is probably because shes not hiding herself. So the moment I arrive at the cliff shes staring out from, she turns around and smiles at me, saying, Congrattions on reaching ss V, Scarlet.
I give her a nod of appreciation and a brief, Thank you, then I move on to ask, Would you mind if I used your training facilities? The general doesnt want me breaking his.
Amelias eyes widen and she covers her mouth at my blunt statement, as if shes trying to smother augh. But I swear I hear a snort anyways. And after a second she manages to return her gaze to me, uncovering her mouth to reveal not a hint of amusement there as she says, Of course.
Then everything turns white around us, leaving me stumbling slightly from the sudden change.
What the I mutter, only for us to appear in some sort of dome at the top of a tower in the middle of the ocean.
I quickly walk to the edge of the tower to get a better view outside, and for as far as my ss V enhanced vision can see theres absolutely nothing but ocean. Just water, water, and more water.
Holy shit, this is
<strong>It actually looks pretty beautiful, </strong>Tarments, making me blink for a second before I nod in agreement.
Its currently dawn outside, so the sun is rising. And the sight of the dawn in the middle of the ocean is rather breathtaking.
I smile a little at the sight.
Yeah. It is beautiful.
I dont think Ive ever seen the ocean at this time of day before. And the only times I crossed the ocean on Tartarus were when I was crossing the Bloody Duchy with the help of those bodyguards which I kind of wonder where are now and when I was being chased across the ocean by the lunatic.
Neither really gave me time to actually enjoy the beauty of the ocean. And neither were at dawn either, considering Tartaruss inverse day and night cycles.
Several seconds pass in silence as I look out into the ocean before I smile even brighter.
<strong>Whats up? </strong>Tar asks,nding on my shoulder.
Nothing much. Just thinking about everything thats happened over thest years.
About my trip to ss V.
I reach up to pet him as Amelia walks up beside me to look at the ocean and says, This is my tower.
It is a really nice location for a tower, I have to admit.
<strong>Well, </strong>Tar begins, responding to my thoughts before Amelia spoke as his gaze focuses on the horizon as well, <strong>you have been through a lot.</strong>
Yep. And Im sure Ill be going through even more in the future.
Although hopefully I wont be tortured again by another lunatic.
Tar doesnt snort at that, instead showing a dark expression on his face that tells me that I probably shouldnt joke about that subject.
You mentioned before that thest requirement ording to the prophecy to upgrade Gradual Corruption Nullification is to just use the skill a bunch?
<strong>Yeah, </strong>Tar says, his mood shifting again now that the topic has changed. <strong>I cant say the exact amount, but you have to nullify a certain amount of corruption.</strong>
Thats not bad.
Im assuming theres no time limit? No requirements on that either?
<strong>You assume correctly, </strong>Tar says with a nod.
Hmm.
In that case, I should probably head to the Arctic. Since undead often love their corruption.
Thats also where most of the spider demons are too, and those love corruption just as much. Maybe even more, considering the arachnae.
Although the ce will be tougher to handle since a lot of undead dont have blood. Which will limit my offensive capabilities by quite a bit.
Then again, some of my new upgraded and merged skills should be arge help with that.
I smile at the thought of the merged skills. Something that doesnt happen often.
On that note, I open my status and stare at it for a bit. But with my rare and lower rarity skills hidden, since my status is starting to be a little full. And only after I distribute my free points.

<strong>That is one monster of a list of skills </strong>Tar mutters, sounding more than a little bbergasted.
I just smirk at his response.
And my total mana it very nearly tripled from its previous amount. Somewhere between two to three times its previous amount.
A very nice benefit to reaching ss V.
Not to mention the new stats per level.
It is a nice looking status.
The two of us stare at it for a few more seconds before I close out of it and return to staring at the ocean for a little while.
Then I eventually turn to Amelia and ask, So wheres the training hall?
Its time to test out my new power.
And then Ill be trying to advance Gradual Corruption Nullification.
Because I will end this war.
