In fact, Souta could already level up his spell to level 10 with the help of the [Skill-level up cards] that he received. He just didnât do it because he thought that it would be such a waste to use it at this time.
He would be able to upgrade his class anytime.
Souta rubbed his chin as he thought about the reason why he would postpone the promotion of his class. He could do it right now and his strength would greatly increase even though he couldnât use mana at the moment.
The Battlemage class was entirely different from the Mage class. A mage class couldnât hope to defeat a battlemage class. The firepower and overall stats were higher than the mage class. Also, Souta would be able to gain the skill of the battlemage in his skill tree. Skill, as in combat arts that was related to the battlemage of his specialty.
These combat arts would help Souta greatly now that he couldnât use mana.
âIâll think about it later...â
Souta shook his head and placed those thoughts in the back of his mind. After clearing his mind, he looked down at his body.
He grabbed the bandages, which were wrapped around his body, and tore it apart. The pieces of the bandages scattered around him as it slowly fell on the bed.
The wounds that he received in his fight were almost gone. His recovery abilities shocked everyone including Bargan and those powerful teachers from the Institute. His injuries were grave and he was about to die at that time if Bargan didnât treat him in time. Dozens of his bones broke into several tiny pieces, his skins were churned, his muscles were ripped apart, his cells were dying one by one, and his mana pool almost broke. All of these were because of him taking two monster potion.
Truthfully, some of the teachers lose their hope in him because of his internal damage. Even though his external wounds were closed the injuries he received inside were too severe. But none of them expected that his recovery ability was exceptional. Day by day his wounds were healing on its own.
They didnât know that Soutaâs recovery ability increased by five times when heâs resting. Thatâs one of the reasons why he woke up in just two weeks while other people would take a month or two before they woke up. Sometimes they would just die like that.
Souta wasnât shocked by it. Instead, he was shocked when he saw his hands. The color of his hands was the same as the color of his skin, dark green.
How?
The color of his hands was supposed to be black with red veins. But right now, it turned back to his normal skin tone.
Souta hurriedly looked in the system and found that he didnât have [Corruption] trait skill anymore. What appeared in the trait was the [High Energy Resistance Body] trait skill.
This means that his basic attack would turn back to normal. The one hundred percent increase in damage was a great help to him in his battle. He wouldnât be able to easily slay those monsters if he didnât have this trait skill. But now the [Corruption] trait skill was gone just like that.
Souta glanced at his race and saw that it changed.
Race: Mutated Goblin Corruptor
He mutated during his battle with the six-circle officers or because of drinking two monster potions.
Drinking two monster potions was the answer he was looking for. Because of the strong best feram that seeped in his body at that time, his cells, bones, and muscles got destroyed. A normal goblin corruptor couldnât handle the power of the best feram even though its a monster. There was a reason why the second evolution monsters didnât have a monster orb.
But Souta regenerative ability exceeded everyoneâs expectations. His muscles and the cells in his body mutated to adapt to the high energy like best feram. It builts the [High Energy Resistance Body] which could protect him from the suppression of best feram and mana of higher-level creatures. Not only that, it somehow increased his overall stats by a large margin.
"Itâs not bad..." Souta muttered while looking at his stats.

Souta was delighted when he saw the huge increase of his stats. The fact that he became a mutated goblin corruptor was out of his expectations. It never comes to his mind that he will become a mutated species.
Some of his skills also level up. His [Dash] became level 4, his [Catâs Speed] became level 3, his [Triple Muscle Strengthening] also became level 3, his [Pet Resonance] became level 2, and lastly, his [Transfer Boost] became level 2. All of the skills above unexpectedly level up after his battle with the six-circle officers.
With these, his combat prowess increased once again.
Souta didnât have any problem except that he couldnât use his mana for the time being.
His level also increased from the huge amount of exp that he received. He was halfway through the third evolution. He rubbed his chin and thought about his expedition. If everything went well in the Forest of Eternal Light, Souta guessed that he will level up two or three times in that place. If he had enough time and stay there for two months then he was sure that he would be able to reach level 40, the turning point of every monster.
But Souta didnât have a plan to farm for one month. He was a greedy person. Just exp wasnât enough for him. He wanted to earn skill points and free attribute points at the same time. Well, itâs true, that he would be able to level up faster if he stayed in the Forest of Eternal Light and grind exp there but his skill points would become stagnant. If he was going to do that, Souta shouldnât have left the Curse Cemetery. He shouldâve stayed there and hunted the countless undead there.
Skill points were important as it could level up the skill and promote his class. If he stayed in the Curse Cemetery, he wouldnât be able to promote his class to Rank 3 Mage as the only thing he would earn there was exp. He wouldnât be able to contend against the people whoâs level was higher than him. He would be having trouble fighting someone close to his level.
A quest was very important in the game called Battle Worlds Online. People who were only killing monsters to level up wouldnât be able to fight the players who were exploring the different functions of the game. The only thing that they could boast was their high level. Their overall stats were low as the other players of their level have high class and high-level skills.
Souta closed his eyes for a moment before he opened it once again. He stood up and threw a punch in the air. He followed it by throwing another punch.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
"Not bad..." He could feel that he was fine and could fight someone at his level. Knowing this was enough for him. He then stretched his body as he looked at the interface in his vision.
He used the two [Random cards] without hesitation. A [Random card] would transform into any other card randomly. It depends on a personâs luck if they would receive a good card or a bad card.
"Level up cards..." Souta muttered and two different cards appeared in his vision.
[One-time Dark Dominance skill card] x1
[200k exp card] x1
These two cards appeared. Souta was disappointed by what he got. He quickly used the [200k exp card] and he heard a sound in his mind.
*Ding!*
[Youâve level up!]
[Youâve gained 2 free attribute points!]
[Youâve gained 1 skill point!]
[Strength attribute increased by 15!]
[Agility, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Vitality attribute increased by 10!]
"Oh! I level up again..." Souta was slightly surprised at this. He glanced at the exp bar in the corner of his eyes. He saw that he wasnât imagining things. He really levels up to 31.
He had 2 level up cards in his system so he needed to level up to 38 before using those level up cards.
There were different types of [Exp card] but Souta still preferred the [Level up card] over the [Exp card]. If he was still someone stuck at level 10 then this [Exp card] would help him much better than [Level up card].
There were [200k exp card], [300k exp card], [500k exp card], [1m exp card], and lastly the [5m exp card]. If he could pull the [5m exp card] then why not. Souta would gladly receive but for the rest... But it was extremely difficult in getting that [5m exp card]. In the game, not even once he managed to acquire such a card.
