While he wasn’t sure how the stat scales worked at that level, what he did know was that if the peak of Proving Class was around 100, even if the scale was perfectly linear, the peak of Vector Class would be around 300.
The supplemental Abilities that Sir Kulin had definitely made every stat point he had far more valuable.
’I have to get out of here.’
’Fuck me, I wore the mask to meet the squires too. Hopefully because I wore the mechanical jaw back then it’s different enough to not raise eyebrows.’
’I’m so screwed.’
First things first, he was going to try and get back to Baron Giyoto and at least clear this damned Quest. Then he would consider other things.
...
At first, Grey was going quite slowly, all things considered. He wasn’t exactly at a snail’s pace, but he was still walking.
Considering this was under the Church Palace, it was enormous. The sheer magnitude of the building was shocking. But in terms of just general distance, it was a matter of a minute or two even at walking pace.
After about three minutes or so, Grey came to a complete stop.
He looked down at his map and he could swear that the gap of darkness between where he was and where the treasure store was had remained exactly the same.
Had he really just been through tunnels he had only gone through before? Or was there something else?
’Hm...’
It was almost like he was back in that Vampire Lord Instance again, but this feeling was a lot more subtle.
Grey took a breath and exhaled.
The strength of it was immediately far more than ever before. Grey could even feel like his Paladin Frame wanted to absorb it a lot like it had Paladin Spirit, but there was a barrier.
Grey knew that barrier was the fact Center of Balance was only at Passive Link right now, and he wasn’t sure if he wanted to improve it. He really didn’t like the feeling of control it seemed to have over his mind.
He blinked and stood in silence for a moment, really feeling out for it. But even after a handful of seconds, the situation didn’t change.
’Is it because of the Paladin Frame?’
Grey had no idea what was going on. This world seemed to have more questions than answers for him.
Lv4 Abyssal Anchor > Lv5 Abyssal Anchor
Grey saw the notification, but he didn’t think that this was the reason.
But Center of Balance was something of his own doing. The only reason Abyssal Anchor had ticked up was because he had focused a great deal just to make sure he wasn’t being subtly manipulated.
And under its effects, he finally saw the illusion blocking his path forward.
But if he pushed against that feeling...
