"The Shadow, the Void, and the Abyss…" Valyr repeated the phrase Noel had uttered at the beginning of his exnation before going over the various subsses that the man before him had mentioned. Pondering over everything he had just learned from Noel in silence, a question eventually formed in his mind as he looked at Noel, wanting to make sure that his understanding of the three subsses were correct.
"Correct me if I''m wrong, but is the Shadow Serpentine Lancer subss considered a Rare grade subss?" Valyr asked Noel sometimeter, to which thetter nodded in response.
"That would be correct, yes."
"And does that mean that Void Serpentine Lancer is an Epic grade subss, while Abyssal Serpentine Lancer is a Legendary grade subss?" asked Valyr not long after, prompting Noel to nod once more.
"Yes and yes."
''That''s odd.'' After nodding back in response to Noel''s answers, Valyr went silent once more as he pondered over everything again. ''If I remember correctly, the first yer who did this had obtained a Mythic grade Spearman subss. However, Noel is only giving me the possibility of a Legendary grade subss. Hmm…''
''Did I mess something up along the way?'' With this thought in mind, Valyr rummaged through his memories from his past life, recalling the name of the subss of the yer that had done what he was currently doing first. Though thest two words of the subss were simr to the subss he would obtain from Noel, the first word that was attached to the subss was vastly different from Abyssal.
''Don''t tell me I''m only limited to obtaining Legendary grade subsses at the moment?'' As this thought popped up in his mind, Valyr thought that it made a bit of sense. After all, if a lot of NPCs had Mythic grade subsses and above, then the number of Mythic grade subsses avable to yers would be less, considering that both had an equal chance at obtaining one.
However, the reason why he had gone through all of this in the first ce was in order to obtain the Mythic grade subss he hade to know from his past life.
In the end, Valyr thought that there was no point mulling over it any further, thinking that a Legendary grade subss was still leagues better than any other subss a yer could possibly obtain at the beginning.
Though, just as he had epted that he would only be obtaining a Legendary grade subss at most, he decided to ask Noel about the subss he hade to know in his previous life.
"I''m asking this question just to satisfy my curiosity, but is there a tier above the Abyssal Serpentine Lancer?" As this question escaped Valyr''s mouth, Noel''s eyes briefly widened in slight surprise, only for him to raise his eyebrow in suspicion not long after.
Eventually, the expression on the man''s face returned to normal as he thought about the various ways Valyr could have possiblye across such fact,ing to the conclusion that none of them were currently feasible for the young man. With that, Noel briefly nodded at Valyr before saying, "There is."
"Would it be possible for me to know what that subss is called?" asked Valyr in response, feeling as if not all hope at obtaining the Mythic grade subss was lost.
"Unfortunately, that''s something I''m not even close to fully understanding yet." Noel let out a faint sigh as he shook his head. "At most, I can tell you the energy that the subss could possibly wield."
"And that would be…?"
"Chaos." Hearing this worde out of Noel''s mouth, the slight disappointment Valyr felt had instantly disappeared without a trace, his body instead filled to the brim with hope.
''That''s the first word on the Mythic grade subss I came across back then!'' With his minding to the conclusion that the reason why he could not obtain a Mythic grade subss from Noel was because thetter had not reached that level yet, Valyr inwardly let out a long sigh of relief as he looked back at Noel.
"Coincidentally, that''s one of the reasons why I offered the Shadow Serpentine Lancer subss to you in the first ce." Noel let out a slightly awkward chuckle. "At the very instant you showed me your skills earlier, a certain thought popped up into my mind."
"This child would reach a level of power I could only hope to reach."
"That''s the thought that came to mind." At these words, Noel''s expression turned solemn. "So, I acted upon it."
Whoosh!
As the surroundings around the two became silent once more, Noel brought up a screen in front of him before interacting with it for quite some time. Not long after, a notification sound resounded in Valyr''s mind, prompting him to look at it before looking back at Noel.
Ding!
[Noel Voragine (Lvl. ???) has decided to bestow you a subss. Would you like to ept?]
"Why are you going out of your way to give me such a powerful subss?" Though Valyr wanted to ept the prompt at the very instant it appeared, he decided to suppress these urges once more as he asked Noel something he should have asked him in the first ce. "I''m not even a part of the Spearman Guild."
"It doesn''t have anything to do whether or whether not you''re a part of the guild." Noel shook his head. "At first, it was because of the thought that came to mind when I met you. But now, I''m certain that it''s also due to the potential you hold."
"The potential that made me think you could touch upon Chaos."
"You know, I''ve been trying to find the right person to give the subss to, and I''ve given it to quite a few people in the past," Noel said to him. "Almost everyone of them were stuck as a Shadow Serpentine Lancer, with only a few of them breaking through and bing a Void Serpentine Lancer."
"Of course, I wouldn''t be surprised if this thought of mine actually turned out to be wrong, but hey." Noel softly smiled. "What''s life without taking a few risks?"
"A few risks, huh?" Valyr muttered in response. Then, with a slight grin, he epted the prompt from the system. "Well, let me tell you now…"
"That this risk is one you won''t ever regret."
Ding!
