Fanfic (Azarinth Healer)

Chapter 8 - Growth

Apparently ravenhall didn't have an adventurer's guild where I could bribe a decent dungeon location out of. I need info and that meant dealing with... people.

I checked my map for a possible places while sitting down on a bench in Ravenhall eating some food. Winter was finally here but it didn't both me, in fact I made the area around me a little more unpleasant to keep people from bothering me. It didn't stop one of those black clad weirdos form sitting down next to me.

"Sup." She asked oblivious to my desire to not deal with people. I teleported her away and she teleported right back. "That was rather rude." She sarcastically said. Oh god she was fucking with me. I turned the temperature down a bit further right at the edge of actually harming people.

"Go away." I didn't look at her.

"Nah." I groaned and looked at her. She was taller than me, though I'm pretty sure my appearance changes knocked a fair bit of my height off. Black hair blue eyes, same as me. Face was a bit rougher, and her skin wasn't as pale. "So what are you doing brooding over here?"

I gave in hoping it'd make her leave. "Just looking for a new dungeon, I keep running out of enemies."

"Yea, I know that problem. Though the taleen dungeon always had more enemies coming from somewhere." she said wistfully.

I was curious. "How fast did they replenish? And what levels were they? Oh and how stupid were they?"

"Wow I didn't take you for a battle manic like me." She chuckled. "They were machines and they came back rather quickly, all in the level two to three hundred, they were clever but it was clear they had limits with how smart they could act." That sounded perfect for getting to two hundred.

"Where?"

"Dawntree, but there were some issues with elves recentish." I looked for dawntree on my map. Shit I was by their last month.

"Don't care, it sounds perfect for getting to level two hundred." I opened a rift a mile outside of the city and stepped through. Before I closed I yelled back to her, "Thanks I guess." I saw that smug ass smirk before the rift closed.

Four days later, I arrived to see a city in turmoil. Protests were abundant. I decided to stay outside and use my rifts to try and sus out the dungeon. I found it and slipped inside. The place was um dwarven looking. More skyrim dweomer actually. I guess that's why there were constructs.

I found my first one being.

I did my usual hurl projectiles trick but it dodged after the first few, and the damage felt somewhat superficial. I even mangled its head but it kept going like a zombie. Which meant that I needed to take the limbs out. My ice magic made it slow enough to start building a layer of ice in its joints and I started cleaving its hips with void blades. It could only dodge and attempt to break the ice as I was in a small closed off room towards the entrance.

Okay now I owed the woman. These things were almost perfect. Next time I'm gonna use black hole to hold it down. Black hole worked like a charm and the power leveling began.

Wow that was four of them. If I could get them to group up I could get even more efficient. Hmm. If I taunt them to follow it could work. I risked it. I found a spot pretty deep down that had a number of them nearby. I rifted in and shouted at them. That part worked now I needed the part where they clump up.

A massive ballista bolt pins me to the wall through my shoulder. My health didn't drop as far as I thought it would. I whined in pain as I teleported away and then rifted to safety.

I focused on meditating and healing. Stupid pain tolerance needs to be more effective, I already have it all halved from my null body and a general skill, how does shit still hurt so much?

Peeking through a small spy rift the Centurions were clumped enough to enact my plan. Two of them were far enough away to escape the gravity well but the other six did not. The slowly froze while disintegrating against the event horizon. It was so satisfying to watch when one died it's body immediately collapsed into the singularity vanishing.

"Yes!!!!" I screamed in joy. I dumped all my gains into intelligence. Still no class evolutions but whatever my current classes were OP (maybe that was why they wouldn't evolve anymore). That frost sight is hilarious here is this bonus that applies only when your using that ability you basically never turn off. I bet that man-bat wouldn't be able to hide from me now.

Still I was not interested in getting shot again, the downside of my enemies being so strong was that I couldn't really handle getting hit by them. Also there didn't seem to be a resistance to physical damage, and my shroud of winter didn't boost my physical defenses. I was going to have to do this the boring slow way.

I checked my remaining food. Between my item and skill I had about a month's worth of food. More than enough time to hit two hundred. I was going to have to properly thank that shadow at some point, more than that awkward thanks.

After two days I used my ice to set up an enclosed room to rift guardians and centurions into and then collectively black hole them all. It took a bit of set up but I liked seeing how many I could kill at once. Within a week I had my answer, which was nine centurions and eight guardians. I was at level 171, and level 140 respectively.

At 2nd tier my black hole now gets stronger the more it consumes, which is insane. Frigid core now provides a 50%[75%] bonus to maximum mana and natural mana regeneration. With the massive upper limit to my mana my rifts can now get huge, I might even be able to get the head of that young trakorov to fit through one now.

My main concern now was that I wanted null forged body and void manipulation at 2nd 20, and I wanted void resistance in the 2nd tier before I hit two hundred. For both classes I wanted to get another impressive kill in before I evolved them.

The void magic training had an obvious solution, head back to where this all started. The impressive kill only had the young trakorov on the list and I probably couldn't kill it solo. I needed another three mark. I'll just wing it.
