Chapter 302: The Tenets Of Morte Bianca (III): For All Eternity
Every knew skill purchased came with an intrinsic knowledge about how to use them, but ultimately through mastery would only come when you made the skill your own, mastering all of its facets and understanding that which made it what It was. Just as he finished choosing his skills, Rezar ended his current training session with the [13 Pulses of Dragon Arte]. His gains from the skill has been steady so far, with the increase in level ensuring that his stat gain after every session was good. However, there were limits to everything, and Rezar realized or rather learnt that he could only get stat gains from the arte once every week.contemporary romance
Apart from that all that would be left to do when practicing would be to get your body into coordination and meditate to calm your mind and body. But be that as it may this arte was invaluable to not just him, but the people in his kingdom. Its true use won't be seen this early, even if all of its current gains were already extremely good. After another year or maybe two years, practically everyone in Morte Bianca using the arte would have become a powerhouse, and such a thought was scary even to Rezar himself.
[Finished One Training Session of The 13 Pulses of Dragon Arte! All Stats +20]
Definite gains over a long period of time, add that up to the mastery of your skill tree and the skills it held and you would be drowning in more stat bonuses than you knew what to do with. And in the process you will gain and have the kind of strength many will kill and die for. Rezar Raised his head up and stretched his body, wincing as his bones let out cracking sound before shifting his attention to the stat page in front of him.

One thing didn't make sense about his stats though; how was it possible that his constitution was the lowest out of all of them. frankly speaking it should have been the highest, but rather it was at the cusp of breaking into its third tier while magic had already gone on into the fourth, and it was funny cause Rezar couldn't be considered a pure magic fighter. It would be better to call him a hybrid, with magic mainly playing a supporting role in his abilities as he's wholly focused on Melee. But be that as It may, his magic could contend with the best mages in all of Elysium, and that was saying something.
Contrary to perception vampires were not physical creatures, the enhanced strength and speed above what was the norm, even for when they're in the same power brackets as other people; didn't make them physical creatures like orcs or giants. On the contrary, vampires were creatures of magic. Their physical attributes aside, they were almost always usually the best blood, Dark, Soul mages and Necromancers. Fierce, swift, strong, resilient. All of the things a traditional mage was not, and all of the things they could ever be.
Of course there were limitations, apart from him, on account of him being a primogenitor, basically the first vampire of his own bloodline, he could walk in the sun. not to mention he once had holy energy/ cells within his body. The sun could do next to nothing to him, however every other vampire he has made are bound to age old limitation not being allergic to sunrise at an extreme degree. It's basically the only way to say that being exposed under sunlight, even if you're well covered will severely weaken you, dropping your ability down to perhaps 10% or 20 if you're lucky.
And without any sort of covering, you become nothing more that burnt barbecue in seconds that won't even stretch to a dozen. It was a severe weakness and against vampires, it could be utilized properly and in extremely shocking ways. This was also the reason why the base of the Daughters of the Eclipse was top secret, they didn't need anyone knowing where the slept and then blowing a hole in the roof over their head during noon and frying them all to kingdom come. To walk in the sun, they always had to be covered, which happily explained Gynaika's current covered state.
"Your Majesty, I can see that you have gotten stronger, the aura of a dragon hangs heavily over you. Though if you ask me I would say that you are more of a lion than a dragon. A dragon's trait of wasting time and lazily enjoying the wealth of the world is not something that I can attribute to you. Like a lion you're just on the prowl for what devour and destroy."
Rezar blanched as he looked up at the undead storm dragon, it was annoying the way she described him, because Rezar didn't think it was true, sure he might be a little stubborn and wild on the battlefield, but he couldn't be as bad as she said he was,
"You make it sound like I wake up every morning to bathe in the blood of virgins and new born babies. I don't prowl…. I just mind my own business and trouble comes knocking on my door. I'm an extremely amicable and gentle man. It's the entire world that wants to prowl all over my den, and once they do that; I'll be left with no choice but to prowl on their territories and turn it into my hunting ground…. so I'm still prowling then…. In a manner of speaking, point taken I guess."
The dragon chuckled, her deep voice a soft rumbled that seemed to make the magic in the air rumble with power. Rezar wasn't happy she was getting amused on his expense, but then again what could he do, this was the storm dragon, the most powerful entity in the whole of Morte Bianca at the moment. It was hard to get angry at her when the alternative to pissing her off is to get squashed or wiped out of existence.
"I take it the tenets you're putting in place for your kingdom is coming along just fine. I expect you to put a lot of thought into it, as these would be the rules that would govern not just your people, but also yourself for as long as your kingdom and its civilization will last. And while all things must come to an end one day, these tenets must never be shaken, forgotten or broken, so tell me what you have in mind Young King."
It was no secret that Rezar hated being called young king this or having anyone making any sort of reference to his young age. He was past seventeen and would be eighteen in another six months. In a way it was funny, but looking back it seems he has been in this world, or rather have been Rezar deathwind for two and a half years. It's been one heck of a ride, technically you would say he was two and a half years and not seventeen and a half. But regardless age didn't really matter in the long run, Elysium was the land of immortals.
"Well I plane to make ten main tenets. Which should be the prime rules that govern everything in Morte Bianca. Those ten tenets are the ones that would be strongly engraved in the hearts of everyone in my kingdom. And below each main tenet, I'll create seven extra tenets, to govern different scenarios. When all that is down I'll probably make a bunch of laws to cover a whole bunch of shit, so as to avoid any sort of loopholes in the future, but ultimately, the ten tenets of Morte Bianca would be the creed this kingdom would be built and thrive upon."
"No wiser words have ever spoken young king, but then again until those tenets have been announced tomorrow, your wisdom would still be called into question, I take it you have sought advice about your tenets from those around you?" The storm dragon asked as she shifted her gaze to Gynaika and Lenore.
"If it was just me I would have ran this kingdom into the ground a long time ago, I might be a cold hearted bastard, but even I know that nothing that's built alone with last or stand the test of life. It's not me that's wise, it's the people around me, and they have all done their best to make sure our home, no matter what…. Lasts for all eternity!"
