BXBX NOVEL Chapter 42 Beast Slayer
Intelligence apparently also reduces damage taken by magic attacks, so I had become unknowingly more resistant to magical attacks. This also includes spirit attacks, as they are magic based…
In fact, I had not checked the Stats completely, inspecting what they do was interesting.
Health Points: Your health value, when you receive large wounds, it decreases constantly, bleeding also decreases health points constantly. It will only reach zero when you\'re already dead.
Mana Points: Your mana value, the more mana you have, the more magic you can use, and the more spirit techniques can be used as well. Spirits require mana to sustain themselves in the physical world and to use their abilities, if it reaches zero, you may suffer a headache and other complications.
Strength: Your strength value, it is based on your physical strength. The higher it is, the stronger you are physically and the more resilient your body is as a result. There is no strength without a corpulent body. More muscles meant more physical defense.
Agility: Your agility value, it is based on your speed of movement, reaction, evasiveness, and instincts. The higher your agility, the faster and less heavy you will feel, until you become as weightless as the wind.
Vitality: Your vitality value, it is based on your body\'s vitality, how long it can keep up, the total energy of your body, and how much you can continue moving and being awake without needing to rest or sleep. Higher vitality also increases physical and magical defense and decreases the time you feel fatigued.
Intelligence: Your intelligence value is based on your mind\'s intelligence, capability of calculation, and therefore, the power of your magic as magic itself requires comprehension and intelligence to be capable of being used. This stat decreases the damage you receive from other magical attacks and also increases the power of your own magic. It also increases affinity the more you have. The conjuration time for all magic is reduced the more Intelligence you have. Magic becomes easier to use over large quantities of accumulated intelligence.
Dexterity: Your dexterity value, it is based on your ability to do things dexterously. This includes moving your own body, the usage of all sorts of weapons, and your own mind\'s capabilities of comprehension, time of reaction, and thought process speed.
…
These were pretty much all the information I got from each Stat; it was very basic stuff. I quickly memorized it all and now I know what each stat does. The more Intelligence I have might also mean that I will become more intelligent for real. Something I never thought possible as intelligence itself is what I already have.
The intelligence of my previous life is within my memories, so why is not my intelligence way higher then? There might be other factors applying in this calculation which I had yet to discover.
Also, it might appear that the Vitality Stat is very closely related with Qi or Stamina, as it is often called in other places, so perhaps this Stat might help me indicate how much more Qi I have, as it is based in the vitality of my very body, and the energy that is contained inside, which flows around.
The more I cultivated Qi, the higher this Stat increased, while other stats such as Health Points and Strength also increased by a little bit…
After hunting so much, I had also acquired my first Title Skill over those last two weeks.
[Beast Slayer: Lv1]
A Title given to someone who has slain over 50 Beasts.
While holding this title, your damage dealt against Beast-type creatures is increased by +10% with each level. Alongside that, you gain the ability to easily detect Beast-type creatures from long distances and have an easier time tracking them down. By hunting more beasts, the Title can level up.
Unlike titles as I thought they would be, these ones in the Grimoire can level up and enhance their passive effects. +10% more damage against Beast-type creatures is a good bonus, even more the secondary effects of having an easier time tracking and detecting them.
However, even with this Title in effect, the decrease of wild beasts had become very prominent, and I might be forced to move deeper into the dungeon. If it wasn\'t for my father who won\'t let me, saying it is too dangerous for a five-year-old.
I suppose he\'s right, but I am not a normal five-year-old, father.
We had yet to bring Erika on the hunts. Mostly because my parents seem worried something might happen to her. They think that being a girl means being weak, so they don\'t want her to go into the wild and get into danger, despite having the two of us protecting her back.
I might bring her on my own in the next days of hunting, but tonight, I will proceed to hunt on my own, as I\'ve decided that hunting horned rabbits which are already incredibly rare won\'t do me any more favors.
"Blake?"
Even walking mushrooms had become incredibly rare. I cannot keep up with this anymore, I require bigger prey and more Blood Qi, the higher the quality of the blood, the stronger my Blood Qi can become and the faster my cultivation of my body can become, the physique I had forged for my body requires sustenance after all. If I want to grow stronger, I must push myself even at my age…
"Blake? Son?"
"Ah… Yes?"
My father was talking to me, but I was too deep in my own thoughts to hear him well… we were currently hunting once more today, after having eaten lunch with mother and grandmother, and also Erika and Eleanora.
"Are you okay? You seemed dizzy…" said my father.
"Ah, don\'t worry about it." I said.
I shouldn\'t get too deep into my own thoughts, or I might lose the notion of time.
