Chapter 16: Pang Da Hai’s Advice

Yes, the War Deity. The goddamm mudafriggin War Deity. The being standing in front of him was the one who reached the level of a Demigod by mastering all forms of War, all types of Weapons and all types of Combat Techniques. Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned that title at all. If there was a Title of God of War, Kravel would be it. , As soon as Elric came to know Kravel's real Identity as The War Deity, he started looking at him differently. As someone who grew up reading books about great warriors of their Era on Earth & then later getting hooked up on War-related novels & other forms of platforms, Elric had developed a form of respect towards such individuals. These were the real men. , Elric diverted his attention towards the Blessings he received and he was left speechless again. , BLESSINGS OF THE WAR DEITY , 1. WAR DOMINANCE Active , Emits an aura of Dominance & Supremacy 5 times stronger than the targeted enemy. No matter how strong or weak the targeted being is. The pressure & murderous aura will be sensed by all those who stand in the perimeter of the host. The area affected will keep increasing with an increase in the host's personal strength & emotions. , 2. WEAPON MASTERY Passive , Mastery over all weapons and things that could be used as a weapon. , The mastery over all Weapons existing in the world keeps increasing with the level of host's strength. , Current level : A Rank (Master Level) Passive , Example : For Swordsmanship, the host is already at a level of a Swordmaster. , Mastery Levels : Amateur, Intermediate, Expert, Master, Grandmaster, Saint, Deity. , 3BAT TECHNIQUES MASTERY Passive , Grants the user knowledge and experience over all forms of close combat techniques. Also allows user to understand & copy any target's combat techniques after practicing them. , Current Rank : Master (In all known Combat Techniques by the War Deity) , Mastery increases only when the user practices & performs these techniques to meet certain understanding & experience. , 4. SURVIVAL INSTINCT Passive , Grants the ability to sense Extreme Danger & Killing Intent directed towards the user. The range of this ability will keep increasing as the user gets stronger. , Note : Ability is Upgradable & can be Merged with other similar abilities. , 5. BERSERK GOD MODE Active , Allows user to achieve 5 times the Physical Strength & Stamina for a short time. , Note : Not applicable to Magical Skills or Mana Capacity. The host will be in a weakened state (only having 30% of the user's strength) for the next 24 hours after the activation period ends. , 6. WAR DEITY BODY Passive , Grants a body capable of becoming two times stronger than the previous stage every time the user goes through long & tiring battles and breaks the threshold of his capabilities. , After going through the Blessings he received. Elric simply forgot how to speak. Because what Kravel gave him wasn't just Mastery of Weapons or abilities to dominate his enemies in battle.. What he gave him was the biggest headstart anyone will ever get if they were thrown into an unknown world. , Elric was born with a weak body & never had physical training at anything. Not even normal sports or self-defense techniques. He could hold a Sword in a video game or in his dreams only. Hell, he didn't even know how to properly hold a sword either without looking like an idiot or ending up hurting himself instead. , Unlike what God of Darkness gave him through the 3 Divine Abilities he chose. These Blessings wouldn't just help him become stronger or help him survive. Rather, they'd be far more useful than just gaining abilities or creating his army who will serve him. With these blessings, he'd save years of time spent on learning & practicing different types of weapons & how best to use them. , Also learning combat techniques was no joke. It took many people dozens of years to perfect them or reach just the rank of a Master. But not only Elric would already have built-in knowledge & understanding of these, but he'd also be proficient right when he entered Vantrea. He was already at Master rank which was way just unbelievable for a guy like him who never had an actual combat experience or killed anyone in his life. , Survival Instinct would help him sense if someone was targeting him from behind or following him from the shadows. That way he could be prepared to face a sudden attack or an ambush and might as well dodge a sudden arrow shot at his head. This was just too useful in his opinion. Survival Instinct was something developed only by people with decades of experience in hunting or someone who had been through thousands of battles in their life. , For someone like Elric who would be hunted down sooner or later if the word of his true identity as chosen Hero of God of Darkness were to be leaked; Survival Instinct would save his life on many occasions. Not on just the battlefield, but it will also alert him in random & normal places if someone far stronger than him was targeting or wanted to harm him based on their killing intent. He'd know whom not to fight with and simply need to run away for his life. , And there was also Berserk God Mode. Like the description implied, he'd be 5 times stronger for a short time and it could save his life when he was truly in a pinch. Let's say somehow his Dimensional Law ability didn't work or he couldn't escape inside the Void for some reason such as the surrounding area being sealed by Spacial Law or some type of Barrier or Formation, Elric would be left at the mercy of fate. , But with Berserk God Mode, he'd receive a huge spike in his strength & it could be helpful enough to let him escape or even face his enemy head-on who could be much stronger than him. This was a Lifesaving Cheat Code indeed. , And let's not even talk about War Deity Body. This thing would just make him a total T-Rex compared to other heroes of the other Gods. Because whether he liked it or not, Elric would be put in situations where he'd need to fight someone in authority like forces of the empire or even people from the church operating in that Empire given his identity. He could see himself clashing against the other Chosen Heroes in the future because they too would be well informed about the act of his predecessor, the 8th chosen hero of God of Darkness. So these heroes will naturally think of him as someone serving the evil or someone they had to exact revenge upon for their predecessors. , So, with the War Deity Body he'd become Twice as stronger every time he went past his limits, which naturally will require him to fight a lot of battles and go beyond his capabilities and also will be on very rare occasions; most likely in the battle for Life & Death. But this can give him an upper hand over the other Heroes in terms of Physical Strength alone. So it will also be extremely helpful in the near future. , Elric finally broke out of his fazed state and looked at Kravel again. He didn't hold any of his mocking or disappointed expression and said, ,
