Ascendence of Depravity

Chapter 6: Chapter 6



Sprinting across the ratsfields, all the mundane wolves had given up chase but the demonic ones were still approaching. 'Probably because they managed to strengthen themselves with the gem' Elya thought.

She shrieked in pain as the hound's [Eroding flame] hit her for [-120] damage. Thankfully, the supposed erosion was ineffective as it's demonic bloodline purity was too low.

Darting through the grass, she tried to avoid their attacks but their superior speed was being showcased. Another claw streaked through the air and hit her, toppling her over. On the floor, she had no time to react as both beasts pounced on her.

[You have died].

[Respawning in Starter Town #6219].

[You have lost all your exp].

Rebirth was a strange thing, with pain being a feature in the game (toned down feom real life but still noticable), you feel the impact of death. Everything stopping, going dark. Only to be pushed into a blinding light.

She respawned back into the town square where the first quest was given. Checking her inventory to ensure the [Blood-soaked Ruby] was still there, and it was. Looking at her map, she saw a path had been highlighted towards the quest giver.

To the exact same alley way. It didn't take long to get there but it felt like it did. Under the light of dawn, Elya trekked towards the distant dark dingy alley, praying for the best.

As she entered it, she watched as the shadows ahead converged together, forming the hunched woman. With a sharp grin, she acknowledged the girl.

"Well done, you are an ambitious one, give me the ruby child" The elder demanded, outstretching her wrinkled hand.

Taking it out of her inventory, she handed it over. Elya watched the woman's hand grip the Ruby and then stab her with it.

Looking down, the grey-haired lady's hand went right through her. A repulsive wave of energy passing through every organ and every cell. Black and grey feathery wings filled her vision covering her completely.

With a burst of grey light, the older woman dissapeared, leaving Elya alone in the alley. On the ground was a dark grey feather with a purple light shrouding it, picking up the item she looked at its status.

"Oh my god, YES" Elya cheered in excitement over her bloodline and its new abilities. She allocated her free stat points due to leveling up twice, with three in Wisdom, three in intelligence, two in Endurance, one in agility and one in speed.

Her Bloodline's rarity was legendary which she had never seen before, the highest she had seen before hers was Lillia's angel bloodline which was counted as Extraordinary. The rarity was defined in 7 tiers. Weakest to strongest being; Common, Uncommon, Rare, Unique, Epic, Extraordinary, Legendary.

With her unholy magic, she should be able to get access to the best teams and acheive the best loot especially with her AOE healing ability which would be sought after.
