Reincarnated Avatar; I got 2 SSS-Rank Unique Skills
Chapter 88: Level 35

Chapter 88: Level 35

---<Warstar>---

[Captain Batman has logged into the game!]

---<Warstar>---

Benjamin logged in, his character materializing in the bustling city plaza.

He stretched his virtual limbs, shaking off the real-world stiffness before opening his friends list.

Noah was online, of course. But instead of idling in town, his status read.

>In Dungeon: [Forgotten Abyss] (Solo)<

Benjamin whistled. "Level 35 dungeon? Solo? Classic Noah".

He figured he had some time before Noah finished, so he made his way to the usual spot, a quiet corner of the plaza where the noise of the city didn’t interfere with voice chat. He sent a message to Noah.

A few minutes later, just as he got comfortable, a system notification flashed.

[Lord Doom has exited Forgotten Abyss...]

But before that, inside the level 35 dungeon...

...

It was already a few weeks since the Canyon of Ruins, and in that time, Noah and his teammates never stopped leveling up.

Of course, he was the most diligent of the 5 since he literally lived inside the game. Noah had all the time in the world to immerse in the world of Warstar, adventure and explore to his heart’s content.

And now...

Noah strode through the dimly lit corridors of the Forgotten Abyss, his footfalls echoing against the ancient stone.

The air was thick with an eerie, unnatural stillness, broken only by the distant groans of unseen horrors lurking in the darkness.

This was the final level of the dungeon, where the most dangerous creatures resided, and he was alone.

When he still played with his Stinger of War Avatar, Noah was no stranger to soloing dungeons but even that had a limit. Afterall, there was only so much 1 Avatar could do in the game.

Every main class in Warstar had its unique and important role in the game.

But with his Lord Doom Avatar and his SSS-Rank unique skills, things a veteran of Warstar like Noah never thought possible till a few months ago, Noah could do more alone now in the game.

BZZZ!

Lord Doom’s Aetherforge gleamed with an ominous blue glow, the weapon adapting to his every movement as he pressed forward.

The dungeon was designed for a full party, but Noah had cut through it solo, his Versatile Avatar ensuring he always had the right skills to handle any encounter.

Besides, compared to the beginning when he just unlocked the Versatile Avatar unique skill, weeks of using Aetherforge already made him adapt to the dynamic intricacies of the revolutionary weapon like a fish to water.

Ahead, the hallway widened into a cavernous chamber lined with jagged obsidian pillars, twisted and malformed like the skeletal remains of a forgotten civilization.

The boss waited at the far end, a Desolation Wraith; a towering specter shrouded in shifting darkness, its many arms grasping spectral weapons that flickered in and out of existence.

"Intruder detected..., prepare for annihilation!"

The Wraith’s voice was a whisper and a roar at the same time, reverberating through the chamber.

Noah smirked. "Annihilation? Let’s see who’s left standing".

As he said that was when he got a notification.

Ding!

[Private Message:]

[Captain Batman: I’m waiting for you outside the dungeon, make it snappy.]

Seeing that, Noah chuckled and sent back.

[Noah: You make it sound like soloing a level 35 dungeon is easy.]

Benjamin replied immediately.

[Captain Batman: It’s easy for you, right?]

[Noah: Nah, but I’d win.]

At that moment, the Wraith moved.

Whoosh!

The Wraith lunged, twin shadow-forged blades slashing through the air.

In response, Noah pivoted, dodging with a calculated step as he spun his lance, the weapon seamlessly shifting into a spear form for precise thrusts.

He countered with a rapid succession of piercing strikes, each blow igniting with energy that dispersed the wraith’s form like ripples in water.

The boss screeched, vanishing into the shadows before reappearing behind him, its multiple arms swinging down at once.

But Noah was already one step ahead.

{Ethereal Shift=}

A low-level Psychic skill.

With a flicker, Noah phased out of existence for a fraction of a second, passing through the attack entirely.

As soon as he reappeared, he twisted his lance and activated ’Kinetic Backlash’, channeling the force of the missed attack into his next strike.

The moment the Wraith solidified again, Noah’s weapon exploded forward, the impact sending the massive specter crashing against the carven wall.

BOOM!

The sound reverberated through the dungeon at damaging decibels.

Noah squinted.

The boss roared in defiance, shifting into its final phase.

The room darkened as chains of pure void magic erupted from the ground, seeking to bind him. A death sentence for most players.

But Noah? He smirked.

In that moment, he accessed his inventory, storing Aetherforge and bringing out his Spellforged Battle Lance in a single fluid move.

There was a slight lag in between switching weapons, but it didn’t matter.

Noah already accounted for it.

As soon as the Spellforged Battle Lance appeared in his hand, he moved.

{Rift Lunge- Spatial Breakthrough=}

Reality cracked.

In an instant, he warped past the chains, appearing directly in front of the Wraith.

His Spellforged Battle Lance morphed, its blade expanding as he unleashed one final, devastating thrust.

CRACK!

The Wraith shattered into fragments of darkness, its scream fading as it dissolved into nothingness.

DING!

[FINAL BOSS DEFEATED!]

[You have received drop rewards!]

[You have received +1 level 35 Legendary Item, +??? XP, and a skill scroll (amount unidentified).]

Noah exhaled, rolling his shoulders. "Not bad".

He was excited to get even more skill scrolls, it was an extremely rare reward that almost never dropped from dungeon raids.

The first thing he did was pick the skill scroll and crush it, sending skill points into his in-game Avatar even as his unique skill’s effect came into play, multiplying the skill points that he got by 10.

Noah grinned. "Not bad at all".

But then he looked at the Spellforged Battle Lance, a melancholic expression on his face.

Alas, it was just a level 20 weapon.

At level 35 now, the Spellforged Battle Lance was becoming obsolete. Noah prepared himself mentally to retire the weapon soon.

Without another thought, he exited the dungeon, stepping back into the open world. As soon as he arrived, he saw Benjamin.

Benjamin looked at him. "Oi, you done flexing yet? Got something to tell you".

Noah smirked, shaking his head.

"Flexing? Its not my fault the mobs weren’t strong enough". He looked back at Benjamin. "Ok, spill it. What do you want to tell me?"

"Season 11 is here".

Silence.
