Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 1687 Spoiled for Choices

Chapter 1687 Spoiled for Choices

Due to the personal limitations in a.s.similating with his victims' memories thoroughly, Eren had discarded most of the witches' memories related to the restrictive clauses.

Not that the restrictive clauses would be universal for every organization and the ent.i.ties a.s.sociated with them. After all, the restrictions placed on the witches would not be similar to the ones imposed on him by Ishgaar's temple.

However, through the residual memories of the witches, he knew how controlling these restrictions could get through Menaka's Blessing once they were established. In some cases, they were even more dangerous than the binding contracts found in Anfang.

"When the G.o.ddess herself acts as the guarantor, there's no way for anyone to break them. At least not through common means. So there's no reason for me to feel disheartened about this.

If I can't con anyone, it also means that n.o.body can con me. I… I can probably make use of this in a different way."

Eren caressed his chin in contemplation as he started thinking about the affiliations and the respective restrictions and clauses that come bundled with them.

"Forming official ties with Ishgaar's temple is a no-go. This organization is as big as the Amazonians. So the clauses and restrictions they place on an individual would also not be something I could ignore.

Plus, the more I stay with them, the more are the chances of my lies getting exposed. 

But perhaps I can find a less established organization where I could gain a suitable Tantra for myself while facing the least level of restrictions. I'll need to stay on the lookout for a "sweet deal" like that."

Eren had already received his due reward from Ishgaar's temple for giving them the news related to Helenbora witches. He had selected monetary benefits. As such, he received 10,000 Menaka's Runes from the temple. He also received 500 Direm as a personal reward from Jivem, which was a local currency of Onianum continent as a whole.

Menaka's Runes were a form of illusory currency that could only be used in the Spectral Screen. Usually, it did not have any physical form. Plus, it could only be transferred from one person to another through their respective Spectral Screens.

Menaka's Runes could be used in various ways. One could use them to buy Skills, Arts, Artifacts etc from Menaka's Market. The runes could also be used to increase one's proficiency in using a particular set of Skills.

Menaka's Runes could be exchanged for buying something in Labh Salem. In fact, it was the most used currency throughout Labh Salem irrespective of one's inclinations and origins.

Eren did not know how much buying power the total sum of 10,000 Menaka's Runes had in Labh Salem or inside Menaka's Market. However, he hoped that the sum would be enough for him to get hold of some basic Skills.

Of course, he did not want to rush buying Skills right away. At first glance, buying Skills from Menaka's Market looked safer and more convenient. However, he also knew that it was also a bit costlier. There were local shops where he could get the same Skills for a lesser amount of Menaka's Runes. As such, he prevented himself from checking out the Menaka's Market right away.

"There are some changes in my Base Stats as well…. Or maybe not. Hmm. The changes are related to the way the Base Stats are referred to here."

Eren looked at the Base Stats panel and thought to himself. He could guess that Health Points in ID Stone's Spectral Screen had been changed into Vigor. The same was the case with most of the other parameters as well.

However, for the first time, Eren was able to see how much Spiritual Force he had. ID Stone from Anfang did not have a way to quantify one's Spiritual Force. However, in his new Spectral Screen, it had been denoted as Spirit. He could also surmise that it was somewhat similar to the total summation of all the Base Stats.

"What is Faith though?" Eren asked himself.

"I guess it is related to my demi-G.o.d status maybe? Or it could be related to the patron divine ent.i.ty one can decide to be a follower of? In any case, I don't think it could be something that I could use directly like my other Stats."

Eren contemplated for some time before letting it go. By this point, he was sure that the Spectral Screen itself would provide him with all the necessary information once it deemed it appropriate to do so.

"Professions, huh? So my Cla.s.ses have been turned into Professions here? I guess Active and Pa.s.sive Profession choices are pretty straightforward. But what are these side-choices attached to them?"

Eren focused on the down-arrow sign beside the active professions. And in the next moment, a sub-panel was opened in front of him. This sub-panel consisted of how he could make use of the Active Profession as well as a few inherent Perks attached to it.

For example, Eren didn't have to alter his Mana Circuits manually anymore to modulate his Base Stats as per the Ranking Cla.s.s he wanted to use. This task would be managed by Menaka's Blessing itself, allowing Eren to seamlessly switch between various Professions.

Eren also gained some Skill-related Perks attached to each of the Professions. For example, all the movement-type Skills would receive a default buff if his Ranger profession was active. The Close Combat Warrior Profession would allow him to increase the damage potential of supported Hex Artifacts through the Spectral Screen itself.

"This… This is sweet. I couldn't make much use of my multi-cla.s.s advantage while I was in Anfang. But here, in Labh Salem, I can practically create at least six different personas by changing the Professions.

Keke. So let me get this straight. No binding contracts. No Historians. Practically no residual mana signatures because of the use of Skills. And now the option to select from six Professions. d.a.m.n. It's like this world is asking me to pull all my stoppers here."

Eren chuckled when he understood the kind of opportunities Menaka's Blessing had opened for him. If he was careful and smart in using the Blessing, he basically had no compet.i.tion in his category.

Plus, he could remain lowkey and still be aggressive about all the opportunities presented to him.
