Chapter 322: Max Battle Points

After the reunion, the family of three didn’t leave the capital right away. They decided to stay for the time being to let things subside.

Lucas took Princess Jade with him to a separate room, leaving Alaric on his own.

Look at those two…

Alaric could only wryly smile as he watched them leave the hall. He then went to find the crown prince, but the inn’s staff told him he had already left.

He liked the crown prince because he was smart and tactful, unlike his younger brother, who was known for his terrible personality.

Now that he was left alone, he went to his assigned room and pulled the cyan screen with a thought.

[Do you want to use your Random Trait Upgrade Card?]

[Yes] [No]

I wonder what will be upgraded this time.

A look of anticipation flashed in his eyes as he clicked [Yes].

[Congratulations! You have upgraded your Horseback Riding (C) to Horseback Riding (B)!]

Alaric laughed excitedly at the notification. This trait might sound common, but it was very useful for a warrior, especially for the cavalrymen.

In the next moment, new information flooded his mind. All sorts of techniques related to horseback riding were integrated into his system. It was a wondrous feeling that he would never get tired of.

It took an entire minute before this magical sensation vanished.

He was excited to check his progress, but he decided to use the other rewards he got.

Which one should I use first?

Alaric rubbed his hands while pondering deeply. He had an Equipment Upgrade Card and the Catastrophe-Grade Steed Card.

Hmm, using the Catastrophe-Grade Card inside the capital might not be a good idea. I will keep this for now and use the other card first.

He didn’t know what kind of being he would summon if he used the card so although he was a bit reluctant, he could only put the matter aside temporarily.

So which equipment should I upgrade?

Alaric rubbed his chin while laying down all his equipment in front of him.

This was a tough decision to make since all items were of great assistance to him, especially the battle armor he received from Marquis Tyrone a few months ago. He had already upgraded it once so he wondered how durable it would become if he were to upgrade it a second time.

Just the thought of it made him excited. However, Alaric didn’t rush to make a decision.

This bracelet I got from my mother is also equally useful.

Alaric picked up a bracelet. Linda Barnaley had given it to him when he first visited the unusual restaurant in Malettan. It was a gift from his birth mother so it held significant value.

This bracelet is engraved with a healing ability so it will be crucial in near-death situations.

Alaric put the bracelet down and grabbed the next item. It was the Frigid Dragon Sword which had already been upgraded to Epic-level.

Upgrading this sword again is very tempting, but it would be too wasteful.

With his current realm, he still couldn’t use the short sword’s full capabilities. If he were to upgrade it again, he didn’t know when he would be able to use the sword to its full potential.

Thinking about this, he decisively put down the sword.

Follow new episodes on the “N0vel1st.c0m”.

What a dilemma…

He shook his head and exhaled a deep sigh.

Alaric paced around his room while looking at the items lying on the floor.

Almost half an hour later, he finally made a decision.

[Do you want to use your Equipment Upgrade Card on the selected item?]

[Yes] [No]

Alaric clicked [Yes].

[Congratulations! You have upgraded your Rare Healing Bracelet to Epic Healing Bracelet!]

[Epic Healing Bracelet]

– When equipped, it helps the wearer quickly recover from fatigue and mana loss.

– When the wearer takes life-threatening damage, will immediately discharge Ultimate Heal (S). Will enter a cooldown period of one month upon use of the skill.

Looking at the information on the newly upgraded bracelet, Alaric grinned. According to Linda Barnaley, this bracelet was engraved with a healing ability that could only be used a limited number of times. Now, he could use the bracelet without limitations! The only minor issue was that he had to wait for a month for the skill to cooldown.

Not bad! Not bad at all!

He couldn’t stop himself from smiling after reading the upgraded bracelet’s description. It had far exceeded his expectations!

Time to check my progress.

He opened his personal information to inspect his progress.

Alaric was thrilled! He had reached his battle point requirement and he was already close to reaching his EXP requirement! His attributes were also nearing the maximum points required!

No way! To think that I am already this close to advancing to the next realm… Unbelievable…

Throughout the long history of Astania, he had never heard of anyone becoming a Transcendent Knight before turning 20! Even the most famous experts in the past didn’t possess his godly breakthrough speed!

Calm down. I need to calm down…

Alaric took a deep breath to suppress his excitement.

He was in a great mood so he decided to visit his cousin, the princess, to celebrate.

***

Inside the second prince’s mansion, somewhere in Codera.

“Fucking hell!”

“Fucking bastard!!”

A series of furious shouts echoed, scaring the servants and guards inside the big mansion.

The second prince, Giovanni, was taking out his fury on his jade sculpture collection.

Crack!

Bang!

His study room had become a mess, but his rage was far from being allayed.

Giovanni turned his head at the cowering servant, his eyes looking like they could devour a human whole, and said in a cold voice.

“Bring Andre here immediately!”
