Chapter 62: B014 – Before Arriving

The journey continues without any problem.

There were many weird voices from the guards saying something like 'The Goddess has descended' and 'praises to the Goddess'. Many of them even went out and chose to walk. Some even try to collect rainwater by carrying wooden barrels on their heads. They did not care even though they were drenched in the rain.

Hecate ignored them all and just silently meditated in the carriage.

She smirked in her mind while keeping her expression calm. She did realize that what had happened was most likely the result of her previous kill-steals. Though, she didn't expect that they would interpret the result that way.

'What a bunch of morons...'

Heroes and powerful individuals could buff their allies in the field simply by showing themselves. Even Leon, the leader of Genesis Guild could raise the morale of the knights as well as the stats of the guild members up to 20% just by being there.

Similarly, bosses and powerful monsters capable of debuffing everyone just by their presence. Hecate's level 132 wasn't just for show and she had met many such monsters until now.

If their Goddess really descended, there was no way the system notification would be silent. At least, everyone present would receive some sort of buff or debuff, depending on their alignment. Since nothing happened, then such scenario didn't happen. But of course, Hecate wasn't interested to point that analysis to them.

'What they do is none of my business.'

Rather than that, it would be more productive to create Mana Stones.

Mana stones are useful items that can be used to craft crystal-type items such as Return Crystals, Corridor Crystals, and many others. Not only that, it can be used as a kind of energy storage, both in-game and in real life.

In game, Hecate could replenish her MP as if she drank MP Potions from these stones by using Mana Drain skill. They could also substitute some of the spell catalysts. And in real life, they were basically batteries, although they can only be used for artifacts taken from the game.
