Chapter 107: The Implock – Chapter 101 – “Fighting Rocks”

Chapter - 101

In a gorge formed in-between two towering mountains, a robed figure walked, inspecting the ground that was riddled with odd tracks. The odd thing about being the fact that the tracks were in solid stone. Something very large, and very heavy had been through here. Nyx looked up, pulling down his hood to reveal his now dashing demon visage.

Like a gaping maw, the entrance to a large hollow stood as a dark backdrop to Nyx's incomparably smaller figure.

Nyx, however, remained unperturbed. Rather, the battle-hungering demon felt excitement. He had found his quarry. Throwing the sack he had been carrying over his shoulder to the side of the cave mouth, an assortment of trinkets, coins, and other miscellaneous items he had looted from now exterminated mercenary band - The Silver Fist - Nyx's spun the mana in his core and bounced the on the balls of his feet.

He had yet to have a fight in this form. Even on his trek all the way down here, following the less than subtle track left in the wake of the golem, the greater demon had met no resistance from the wildlife or monsters. With his new traits [Monstrous Subjugation] and [Air of the Herald], no creature wished to intrude on his space. He still needed to learn how to properly control that, lest he disturb the humans and their precious cities when he returned. Could be troublesome, he reasoned.

Still, Nyx was without a doubt satisfied with the traits he had gotten - their effects and benefits more than evident already.

After all, [The Air of the Herald] trait seemed to work perfectly with his [Monstrous Subjugation]. At least, it should make it easier for him to impose his will. Nyx reasoned it was because of these very traits that the Vainlord gained charisma as a permanent attribute allocation. Maybe, just maybe, it wasn't such a useless stat after all...

Interestingly enough, the trait wasn't even from his race. Rather, it was a product of his new title. The [Herald of Pride] title, upgraded from [Bearer of Pride].
