Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent

Chapter 246: Galanar’s Attributes

Alaric was in a foul mood, but he gritted his teeth and resumed his exercises.

1000 mana-infused vertical slashes ☑️

1000 mana-infused horizontal slashes ☑️

1000 mana-infused diagonal slashes ☑️

1000 mana-infused stabs ☑️

After doing all his sword exercises, he finally received a series of notifications from the system.

[You received 20 Battle Points.]

[You received 3 EXP.]

[You received 3 Stat Points.]

Alaric checked his attributes and noticed that he already had 120 unallocated stat points.

What should I do about this? Should I distribute them now?

Alaric hesitated for a moment, but he eventually decided to distribute his stat points evenly to keep his attributes balanced.

Alaric Silversword [Elite Knight] EXP: 219 —> 222/1000

Potential: A

Traits: Horseback Riding (C), Swordsmanship (SSS), Close Combat (C), Archery (E), Hunting (E), Tracking (E), Sixth Sense (E), Monster Affinity (F), Mana Gathering (C), Appraisal (B)

Strength: 170 —> 200

Stamina: 180 —> 200

Agility: 180 —> 200

Vitality: 150 —> 175

Endurance: 160 —> 185

Mana: 240 —> 241

Battle Points: 3460 —> 3480

Stat Points: 120 —> 0

(Requirements for the next advancement: 1000 EXP, 250 in all attributes, and 10000 Battle Points)

Now, other than his vitality and endurance, all his attributes had already reached 200 points.

I am close to maxing out my attributes, but I am still far from reaching the required EXP and Battle Points. I need to find time to do my daily missions from now on. Otherwise, it would take me a long time before I advance to the next realm.

For some, the Elite Knight realm might sound powerful, but Alaric knew that experts at this level could barely do anything in large-scale warfare.

He had experienced it in his past life. To prevent things from going in that direction, he needed to become a Transcendent Knight at the very least.

Alaric removed the stray thoughts from his mind. He didnʼt leave the training grounds right away.

Now, it is time to deal with those bastards from House Harrison!

Thinking about this, he summoned Galanar and a hundred more warriors.

”My lord, what are your orders?” Galanar cupped his fists respectfully.

Alaric didnʼt respond immediately. He stared at him and the one hundred warriors gathered before him. Using his Appraisal trait, he inspected their attributes one by one.

They have become more powerful after absorbing all the resources we got from the elves, Galanarʼs attributes…

Galanarʼs attributes made him dumbfounded.

Galanar [Transcendent Knight] EXP: 391/5000

Potential: S

Traits: Indomitable Will (SS) Swordsmanship (S), Close Combat (S), Horseback Riding (S), Pain Tolerance (S), Hunting (S), Tracking (A), Archery (B), Danger Perception (B), Intuition (C)

Strength: 402

Stamina: 201

Agility: 275

Vitality: 405

Endurance: 500

Mana: 250

His raw attributes alone were far more impressive than Rosalieʼs even though he had only recently advanced to the realm of Transcendence.

Alaric couldnʼt begin to imagine the extent of Galanarʼs growth.

SS-rank Indomitable Will…

Alaric was speechless. Other than this crazy trait, most of his traits were also S-rank.

He gathered his thoughts and opened his mouth. ”I received a report from Sir Warrick. According to him, House Harrison destroyed my grandfatherʼs caravan in Copperglade and those bastards also attempted to kidnap him!”

Hearing this, everyoneʼs faces darkened. They were aware that Alaricʼs maternal grandfather was in Copperglade. Laying a hand on him was no different than offending the entire House Silversword!

”I want you to attack House Harrisonʼs estate and bring their family head here! Kill everyone who resists!” Alaric shouted, his voice shaking with fury.

He wanted to eradicate the entire House Harrison, but doing so would only attract the attention of the imperial family. Furthermore, House Harrison was backed by the second prince!

If I only target Darvin Harrison and the main family members, the second prince would not be able to say anything since I have a legitimate reason to attack them.

Alaric thought to himself.

”I have received your orders, my lord!” Galanar acknowledged his command with a snappy salute.

”Very well. Prepare your equipment and supplies. You must depart at once!” Alaric waved his hand, dismissing the entire crowd.

Upon getting his signal, the crowd quickly dispersed.

___

Mission: Execute the Arrogant Family Head of House Harrison

Mission Difficulty: Hard

Darvin Harrison commanded the capture of your maternal grandfather, but he had failed. However, he still hadnʼt given up on this plan. To stop his vile acts, you must capture him and have him executed!

Rewards: 1000 Battle Points, 50 EXP, Random Trait Upgrade Card x1, Rare Weapon Card x1

___

Hm?

Alaric wasnʼt surprised by the mission notification, but because of the difficulty.

Why is it a hard difficulty mission?

He furrowed his eyebrows, feeling slightly perturbed.

Did they ask for support from their allies?

This was the only possibility he could think of.

House Harrison only had one Transcendent, an expert ranked 18th in the Astanian Dragon Leaderboard.

A single Transcendent shouldnʼt be enough to make the mission difficulty ʼhardʼ. This means that they managed to ask at least one more Transcendent to help them.

It does not matter. Warrick and Galanar should be able to handle them. He had confidence in their skills, especially Galanar. The man is a force of nature in the literal sense.

Alaric chuckled. He believed that Galanarʼs power was already equivalent to the experts in the top 10 of the Astanian Dragon Leaderboard!

***

In Lucasʼ study, the baron also received a report about the situation in Copperglade.

He didnʼt give much of a reaction for he was already aware that Warrick was there to protect Anton Keller.

”Should we send our troops to support Sir Warrick and House Keller, my lord?”

Lucas leaned on his seat. ”You said that Alaric will send Galanar and a hundred warriors to Copperglade, right?”

”Yes, my lord.”

Hearing his confirmation, Lucas shook his head. ”Then there is no need to send additional manpower. Galanar alone will be enough to handle House Harrison and their allies.”

The messenger was stunned by his words. ”But my lord… they have four Transcendents on their side including Sir Treston…”

Lucas gave the messenger a stern look and waved his hand dismissively. ”Just do as I say.”

”Yes, my lord!”
