Chapter 303: New Class: Incubus (Useless)
Chapter 303: New Class: Incubus (Useless)
Stark stood before the Class Wheel as it spun, the giant sections of Magus, Beast Tamer, and Incubus rotating before his eyes.
The anticipation built as the wheel slowed down, each passing second dragging on like an eternity.
His heart raced, though his face remained calm.
This was always a critical moment; choosing a class wasn't just about adding new skills or perks, it was about the power gained.
The wheel began to slow down further, first hovering over Beast Tamer, then nudging towards Magus. Stark's eyes narrowed, but there was nothing he could do to influence the outcome.
And then... it clicked.
[You have obtained the "Incubus" class! Congratulations!]
Stark blinked, unsure of what to think at first.
Incubus?
[You can spin the wheel again at level 150!]
That part was new. Before, he had been allowed to spin the wheel every 25 levels, but now the gap was 50 levels. Stark couldn't help but smirk.
"Guess the challenges are getting harder," he muttered, "Well, let's check this out."
Stark accessed his newly acquired class.
…
[Class: Incubus]
[Description: Control the desires and emotions of others through your allure. You can drain energy from your victims through physical contact, often in combat situations to weaken foes and strengthen yourself. While many of this class use their charm for manipulation or luxury, the true power lies in turning desires into a weapon.]
[Class Effect: Heightened charisma and emotional manipulation.]
[Class Flaw: Your power depends on how much influence you have over others. In some cases, strength isn't enough to control a situation.]
Stark raised an eyebrow. It wasn't a class built for pure combat!
He could see how that might be useful in certain situations, but his fighting style didn't exactly line up with 'charm'.
But then the system interrupted.
[Domination won't bother absorbing a class that isn't combat-oriented. Just use it for something else, host, if you know what I mean.]
Stark couldn't help but laugh, "Yeah, not really my thing."
After all, Stark gets absolutely ZERO play other than Lana, so yeah.
[You have been granted a basic skill!]
Stark read the new ability.
…
[Skill: Enrapture]
[Tier: Legendary]
[Description: Only works on female foes, but you can use that skill to increase your charm and make them lose focus for a bit. Outside of combat, it enhances the user's charm and allure, making interactions more favorable.]
…
"Well, that's... something," Stark said, scratching the back of his head.
He could weaken opponents just by making them lose focus, which could be useful in larger fights, but overall… it was… mid.
It was mainly for 'outside' use anyway…
Satisfied for now, he pulled up his status window to check his stats:
….

…
With his stats in place and no further distractions, it was time to move forward.
[Welcome to Zone 2: The Abyssal Caverns]
Stark stepped into the second zone of the Devil's Abyss.
The ground was made of black, jagged rocks, and the air was thick with demonic aura.
The entire place seemed to pulsate with dark energy, and eerie red eyes glowed in the distance, much more in number than in the first zone.
"Damn, going deeper in hell…" Stark laughed.
Demons of varying sizes and forms wandered the landscape.
Most had grotesque, hulking bodies, and their eyes were locked onto Stark the moment he entered the zone; without hesitation, they charged.
"Alright, let's see what you've got," Stark said, his eyes glowing crimson as he activated Holy Infusion to test the skill out.
With a surge of energy, his fists were wrapped in a divine, radiant light that mixed with his crimson aura.
All his skills were now infused with the holy aura!
"Aura Smash… SPAM!"
[Description: Instead of summoning 5 fists to either send them at your enemies or merging them to do immense damage, you can instead decide to separate these fists into five distinct ones too, meaning 25 crimson fists.]
He sent dozens of fists toward the monsters, killing many thanks to the explosion that followed every impact.
"They're weaker than I thought," Stark muttered, watching the demons fall one after the other. He barely needed to exert himself.
As he charged through the Abyssal Caverns, more demons appeared, but none of them posed a real threat.
Stark moved like a whirlwind, using Crimson Spears too infused with holy energy, piercing through multiple enemies with each throw.
The demons tried to swarm him, but he was too fast, his strength far superior to theirs.
And even when fifty of them all dashed at him, he just exorcised them all with [Crimson Purification].
Exorcist was truly the greatest skill in such a situation, and Stark felt happy he got it early enough to be able to get all those skills with it now.
Before long, he received the notification.
[Your level has increased to level 101, granting you five skill points and a boost in stats.]
He pushed forward, hunting down every last demon in his path.
The ease with which he smashed them down was almost disappointing.
He had expected more from a Determination difficulty rift.
Then, as he approached the edge of the second zone, he felt it: a powerful aura. This was different from the lesser demons.
Stark slowed down, his instincts kicking in as he prepared for a real fight now.
It was the second elite!
A hulking figure stepped out from the shadows. Its massive horns scraped the ceiling of the cavern, and its eyes burned with malice. Its body was covered in obsidian armor, and the ground trembled beneath its feet.
[Name: Mal'gor the Obliterator (Elite)]
[Level: 325]
[HP: 1,800,000]
[Strength: 18452]
[Stamina: 15450]
[Speed: 20532]
[Defense: 17024]
[Skills: Obliteration Strike, Hellstorm, Crushing Wave, Demon Rage, Blood Vortex, Dark Barrier, Void Step]
Stark's eyes narrowed as he read the stats.
This was going to be an interesting fight.
Without hesitation, Mal'gor roared, charging at him with terrifying speed for a creature of its size. Stark sidestepped the initial attack, his body moving with precision, and he countered with Wielding Cross. The giant crimson-and-holy cross appeared above him, and Stark swung it down with both hands.
The impact was devastating. Mal'gor's armor shattered, and his health bar dropped by a third from the first strike alone.
Roaring in pain, Mal'gor tried to retaliate with Obliteration Strike, a dark energy-infused attack.
But Stark was faster, using Invincible Dodge to avoid the blow and land another hit with the Wielding Cross, almost completely draining the elite demon's health.
"RAAGRHHH!"
Mal'gor tried to smash Stark down, but surprisingly, the boy was more focused on something else: his cross was now glowing.
[Holy Combo is now activated, hit your enemy to cause 200% damage and without fail stun enemies for five seconds!]
The demon tried to attack, but Stark swung his cross upward, absolutely destroying the demon's hand and reaching its head.
BOOM!
-1,448,482!
It was the first time his damage output had gone over 1 million!
[You have slain "Mal'gor the Obliterator" and gained 900,000 experience!]
[Your level has increased to level 102, granting you five skill points and a boost in stats.]
Fighting hundreds of demons, no matter how little experience they gave, still allowed you to level up!
[You have full cleared the second zone!]
With the second zone now behind him, Stark felt the power surging through him as he grew stronger. Read exclusive content at m_v-l'-NovelBin.net
The next zones would be even more challenging, but for now, he was ready for whatever came next.
He looked toward the path ahead, the entrance to the third zone looming in the distance.
"Let's see what's waiting for me in there," Stark muttered, a smirk forming on his face as he took his first step toward the deeper levels of the Devil's Abyss, "Oh wait!"
But before doing any of that, Stark returned inside the second zone.
"Ah… there it is," he smiled.
In front of him were the [Devil Flowers] the chairman had asked him and the students to take.
He took 9 of them just in case Lana and Sora struggled, though he was the latter would have no problem, then put them inside his [Spatial Inventory].
After that small break though, he immediately returned to what he was doing.
