Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 251

The Last Bastion...

Aaron arrived at the Last Bastion in seconds using the teleportation that was present in the academy. In the last few months, the alliance has built a lot of teleportation hubs across the alliance-controlled lands.

With the increased attacks, the troops had to move between places, and travelling takes most of the time, which means the help wouldn’t be able to come in time. For that reason, the number of teleportation points was increased.

Using one such point in Dusk Academy, Aaron quickly arrived at the Last Bastion, where he would stay for a while.

Two days ago, Lyanna spoke with Aaron. She believed that Aaron’s talents were being wasted by staying in the academy or by taking the small-time missions that were available through the academy.

Instead of that, she assigned him to go to the front lines. There, he can face even better opponents, which means he can level up faster than he was able to at the academy.

As long as there was no siege on the fort, he would be free to do whatever he wanted to, as long as he don’t break any rules and also fulfilled the required quota of monster kills.

Aaron, after thinking for a few minutes, agreed, as this would be a good way to earn levels faster.

Lyanna arranged everything beforehand, and once he arrived at the fort, he was given a shared room to stay, unlike what he enjoyed at the academy or at Duskmist City, but for the sake of faster level up, he agreed to it.

A Month later at the Last Bastion...

It has been a month since Aaron arrived at the last Bastion.

In this month, there was never a situation where everyone had to fight a war. Everyone was free to do what they wanted to do.

Aaron ventured out and fought with the monsters present there. Here he came into contact with many monsters that he had never seen before, and they were levels above what he used to face normally.

He felt like he was once again in that dungeon where he decided to take the Rank-4 promotion mission.

He faced a lot of monsters that were near the thousand level in the month there, but he easily eliminated them. He could even kill a Rank-6, as long as they are newly promoted and are alone.

The problem he faced here was that monsters are never alone, not at least at those ranks.

When they reach Rank-7 or higher, they might seclude themselves more, but below that, even if the groups thinned out, there would be a few. Even if there were none at the moment, some would be at a certain distance.

The reason, they all wait for a battle to take place in order to benefit from that.

When a monster fights with another monster or a human, these nearby predators would wait in the shadows for the perfect moment, before making their move, making it easy to reap the benefits without much struggle on their side.

This made the battles a bit difficult, but he had a lot of undead, which he used to stall any such shadow efforts, making sure he gained all the benefits of his work.

The benefits showed themselves through the changes in his status.

Aaron reached level 700 in a month, which was very fast when compared to before. He could have grown even more, but stopped due to not being attracted, but this time not from humans, but rather from monsters.

If they see someone who mows their high-end power easily, they would group together and could bring Aaron down. He could even attract a Rank-7 or higher monster.

Even with so many undead, he can’t easily escape such a creature. So, he kept to not cross level 1000 for the monsters he hunted. Even their reduction would not attract too much attention.

With the 100 levels increased, Aaron had enough FSPs to increase his luck by 16 points, which now stands at 69 points.

Of course, while he levelled up and earned all that, whenever he went out to hunt, he would hunt a few low-level monsters to fulfil the quota of kills given to him.

The actual kills, he directly transported them to Jay, who would make use of them as needed. He sold a lot of items that he had, but had no use for.

The reason Aaron felt that Jay might have seen his status. He didn’t think about that when he was with him, but after returning to the academy, he thought for a while about the items offered by Jay and also about the Card, which should be a secret and can’t be shown to others easily.

Aaron quickly analysed that Jay might have seen his status and feared that for a second, but then understood that Jay might not. If Jay had plans, he might have done so instead of giving him something like Status Veil or the card that can teleport items from one place to another.

Aaron was sure that Jay saw an opportunity as a merchant, rather than a greedy profiteer who would sell anything for money.

Since there is a high chance that Jay had seen his status, Aaron decided to dump all the items that he had no need for at the moment and buy things needed for himself and his loved ones.
