MMORPG : Ancient WORLD

152 Broken Skill

'I didn't expect him to be so strong.' Alex thought, looking at the fifteen feet giant Ogre charging toward him.

After killing the third Rank Ogre, Alex killed eleven more First and Second Rank ogres before the Ogre chieftain showed up, and as planned, he used the Rage Embodiment to finish the job.

Alex dodged the Ogre chieftain's mad rush attack by rolling to the side to not engaging in a physical confirmation.

Alex had the strength advantage at the start of the battle, but the strength advantage was gone, and the situation was reversed after the Ogre chieftain went berserk.

'The elemental should finish his fight in 40 to 50 seconds.' Alex thought, looking at his summoned elemental dominating his fight against the four Ogres.

'Life Siphoning Blade Aura'

'Blade Intent'

Alex used two skills to boost his damage and recover some lost hp as he dodged an attack and delivered a swift slash to the Ogre's knee.

The Ogre chieftain had higher strength and defense, so even though he wasn't taking much damage but as his agility was lower than Alex, he was also doing close to no damage in return.

Alex kept dodging attacks while doing as much damage as possible while keeping an eye on his elemental ready to order him the moment he was done with his battle.

After thirty seconds, the elemental successfully killed the third Rank ogre, and in the next few seconds, he easily killed all three second Rank ogres finishing his fight.

'Come here and help me kill this creature.' Alex ordered the elemental the moment the last Ogre head got decapitated.

The Elemental charged toward Alex without delay and successfully delivered a solid hit on the back of the Ogre chieftain, plunging his elemental axe into the Ogre's back.

Alex didn't miss the opportunity and used a darkness slash on the Ogre chieftain's neck, delivering a critical hit that took a solid chunk of the Ogre's Hp.

[-280K_HP] Critical Hit

"GWOOOORRRRR"

The Ogre chieftain roared as he spun around, swinging his sword toward Alex while throwing a backhand fist in the face of the elemental.

"BOOOM"x2

Alex defended against the sword using his sword and jumped a little to soften the impact, and after the impact, he was sent flying while the elemental couldn't defend against the fist and was hit right in the face, throwing him to the side.

[-3100_HP]

Alex rolled on the ground and used his sword to regain his footing, losing close to a quarter of his health while the elemental crashed into the ice and lost one-tenth of his hp.

'I have forty more seconds before the effect of Rage Embodiment end.' Alex thought as looked toward the Ogre chieftain.

'This is my chance.' Alex thought, looking at the Ogre chieftain charging toward his elemental.

'Defend against his attacks.' Alex ordered his elemental as he morphed his sword into a spear.

'Chains of Darkness

Alex casted the binding spell, covered the spear in mana, jumped high in the air, and used the Air Jump skill to make a solid footing in the air.

"Hold Him in Place," Alex ordered out loud the moment the chains of darkness got hold of the Ogre chieftain, and without delay, the elemental bear-hugged the Ogre, stopping him in his place.

Alex rewound his arm, increased the spear weight to 300 kg, and then took aim straight at the head of the Ogre chieftain, and with all his strength, he threw the spear using the weapon through skill.

"BOOOM"

[-800K_HP] Critical Hit

[-300K_HP]

After leaving Alex's hand in less than a second, the spear hit the Ogre chieftain in the back of his head, and without facing much resistance, it tore through the side of his skull before going through the body of the elemental and plunging into the ground.

'I need to practice my aim and refine this skill because this combination undoubtedly has the potential to become one of my trump cards.' Alex thought, seeing the Ogre chieftain survive the critical hit.

'Let's finish this fight.' Alex thought as he summoned his weapon back.

The Ogre chieftain's health was down to the last 11%, with a large chunk of his skull gone making him rapidly lose health with every passing second.

Alex sprinted toward the stunned Ogre chieftain and thrust his spear into the injured area of his skull, pricing right into his brain, doing a critical hit, which was enough to take away all the remaining hp killing the Ogre.

[Frost Ogre Chieftain (Mirsynth) is killed]

-------

'Kill all the creatures in the settlement.' Alex ordered his elemental, who had just recovered from a gaping hole in his chest.

'I have sixteen hours left to complete my promotion quest.' Alex thought as he heard the system notifications, and his head immediately went black, making him unconscious.

-------------------

(After Three Hours)

Alex regained consciousness, and for the first few seconds, everything was a blur to him, but after seeing the dead bodies of ogres around him, everything became clear.

'I hope I wasn't out for too long.' Alex thought as he quickly opened his promotion quest to check the remaining time.

Alex knew that after completing the quest, he would probably go unconscious for hours like the last time, and that was why he took the risk of raiding the Ogre settlement, knowing it could have gone wrong if anything had gone against his plan.

-----------

'I was unconscious for only three hours, which is unexpected, but I just hope the reward from the Ruler mission is something nice.' Alex thought as he quickly opened the system notification log.

'The name of the skill is nice.' Alex thought as he opened the skill description while hoping for the best.

[Important note: After the skill is used, the player's strength will be elevated to the peak of the next Rank while all his skills will also get elevated by one Rank.]

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

"WHAT THE HELL?" Alex said out loud, dumbfounded by the effects of newly gained skill.

The skill was beyond broken as it just permanently used one point of intelligence and increased his strength by one whole Rank while also increasing all his skills and spells by one Rank, and there were no side effects or cooldown.

"Domain Ruler, Something of concern?" Lady Margaret asked, appearing next to Alex.

Alex didn't say anything and just showed her the system screen with the skill detail, and after a slight shock, she gave him a bright smile.

"Congratulations, You have acquired one of the greatest skills a Ruler could acquire." Lady Margaret said with a bright smile.

"Is it something very special?" Alex asked as a skill being called one of the greatest was a heavy title.

"The first Ruler was able to reach the limits of the Transcendent Rank while he was only at the early stage of the Elemental Ruler Rank using this skill." Lady Margaret replied, now looking calmer.

"He could elevate his strength by four Ranks?" Alex asked, feeling the ground getting softer under his feet.

"At least, that's what I read in history books." Lady Margaret replied.

'Somehow, I don't doubt this part of history.' Alex thought with a wide smile looking at his new trump card.

Alex was not worried about the permanent intelligence used to fule the skill because he knew quite a few ways to permanently increase intelligence stat.

'I really want to use this to test its effect, but I need to find some proper opponent.'

'Let's just complete the promotion quest, and I could test its effect when the opportunity presents itself.' Alex thought, shaking off the thought of searching for the fourth Rank creature to test his skill.

Alex stood up and started collecting the loot and the dead bodies of the ogres, and after he was done with looting, he left the area in search of monsters to complete his Rank promotion quest.

It only took Alex a little over an hour to complete the condition of the Rank promotion quest, and then he went on a killing spree slaughtering any creature he could find that would count toward the bonus progress.

Alex spent the next eleven hours searching and hunting second and third Rank creatures, and in the end, he was physically and mentally exhausted but delighted with his progress.
