Slowly, the black mist faded, and Karl found himself alone on the battlefield again.
Dana had retreated, escaping the blinding attack, while the Haint had returned to the ground to help Cara clear the last of the Crocolisks with Opal.
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! They will be asking for replays of this battle for centuries." The butterfly shouted as Karl came back into view.
Karl smiled at her. "I’m glad you enjoyed it. Now, what is the situation?"
"Nearly out of reptiles, and the octopus escaped to the Immortal Realm. I felt the change in mana as it fled." Opal explained.
[Rae?]
[I’m here, I couldn’t trap it when it tried to leave. It’s power just cut through my spells.]
That hadn’t been Karl’s concern. He was more worried that she had found a way to follow it into another realm. That would have been problematic. Though, he might be able to go there and get her back, now that he had been exposed to the Immortal Realm, and had the [Planeswalker] class skill that allowed him to portal between adjacent realms that he was familiar with.
Technically, he hadn’t purchased it yet. But it was there, and he had the points if he needed them.
Karl took a moment to scan through his class skills, reminding himself that he really should start spending some of the skill points he had accumulated. There were five left that he could put points into, one of which appeared to be a virtually limitless point sink.
{Destructive Beast Master} 0 Points Invested. Increases Bonded Beast Skill Power by 1 Percent per point invested.
{Invulnerable Beast Master} 20 Points Invested. Increases Bonded Beast Damage Reduction by 1 Percent per point invested, up to 20 Percent.
{Blessing of Skill} Creates one Random Skill. Cost varies based on Rarity. 1 Point for Common Skills, 5 for Rare Skills, 25 for Epic Skills, 50 for Artifact Grade Skills, 500 for Legendary Skills.
{Blessing of Family} 50 points. Creates one additional Beast Space.
{Planeswalker} World Dragon Patron Exclusive Skill. 100 Points. Allows portals to open between adjacent Realms the user is familiar with.
Planeswalker would be useful if he had to retrieve one of his team members, but the others were no less valuable.
Who could say no to another beast space? Or to the direct damage bonus?
But it was the [Blessing of Skill] ability that was the truly overlooked bonus of his class. He had been putting it off, as he had thought he might need the skill points in an emergency, but at this point, he had accumulated far more than he could possibly need for a mere emergency.
[Are you thinking what I’m thinking?] Rae asked.
[That we skip everything else and get a Legendary Skill?] Cara asked hopefully.
