Chapter 49: Weight Of A Crown.
Elias sighed as he looked ahead deep in thought. The scent of blood in the air was fading.
Right now, he had a lot of potential—more than most—but the real problem was his lack of resources, especially his EP and MP.
His Extraction Points weren’t much of a concern for now. As long as he kept hunting beasts, he could always gather more. But his mana pool—his MP—was a serious issue. For someone like him, who walked the path of an Undead Summoner, this was a major setback. His class was a fusion of necromancer and summoner—two classes that heavily relied on mana. And yet, his current mana reserves were pitiful.
Most people who has either of those classes usually poured all their stat points into Intelligence. That way, they had a large mana pool.
But Elias wasn’t like them.
He had no intention of becoming a fragile glass cannon who only hid behind his undead army. He wanted strength in all areas—physically, mentally, and magically. That kind of balance meant his stat points were spread out, and because of that, his mana pool was thin. Too thin. It made controlling a large number of undead nearly impossible.
He hated that fact.
The more undead he could control during battle, the more influence he had on the field. And when it came to undead summons, his options were limited.
Right now, he only had five slots for undead summons. That was why, even though he still had one gacha ticket left, he hadn’t used it yet. He had already used a massive amount of luck just pulling Vael—an Epic-ranked summon. If he used another ticket now and ended up with a Common-rank summon, it would be a waste.
No—his best option for now was to build an army of standard undead using beast corpses. But again, his MP limited him. He couldn’t scale that plan with his current mana pool.
Still, Elias wasn’t out of options.
He knew there were other ways to improve his mana pool besides putting points into Intelligence.
