Chapter 8: “Plans For the Former Mountain Cat Bandit Group”
Rare was over the moon. She did it. At this moment in time, she was the only player in the game to discover the [Subordinate] skill.
In order to get it, you needed a whopping 390 XP, nearly four times the starting XP. No sane player would use all that XP on crap like [Summon] and [Discipline]. And she only realized it after the fact, but the skills that she learned all happened to be only the exact ones that she needed.
- [Subordinate] required [Discipline] and [Contract].
- [Contract] required [Summon] and [Bind Soul].
- [Bind Soul] required [Necromancy] and [Control].
She was lucky. She really felt like she had used up all the fortune she’d ever have just now. But well, she did spend a lot of time thinking about it. This wasn’t only due to luck, it was also a result of her own resourcefulness. Rare’s adventure was only just begi—
Ack, right as she thought that, she remembered that she hadn’t actually learned [Subordinate] yet. Talk about putting the cart before the horse. After buying it, next was to check its effects.
[Tame the target, making them your follower. If the target successfully resists, [Subordinate] fails. Souls contracted via [Summon: Contract] cannot resist. Undead created via [Necromancy: Bind Soul] cannot resist. Targets under the influence of [Mental Magic: Control] have reduced resistance to [Subordinate]. Experience is shared with all followers. You may now choose to summon a follower when using [Summon]. If a follower dies, they cannot be summoned for one hour.]
Truly an ultimate skill that incorporated all the previous skills required to unlock it.
With perfect timing, just as she finished verifying the skill details, she received a notification for a system message.
<<Deferred action will now resume. [Kerry] can be tamed.>>
