Chapter 298 And Another One
"I choose this one!"
Without a hint of hesitation, Tina selected the Epic Elemental Pugilist Class. As soon as she did, her body released a bright glow, which faded an instant later. Although it didn't have the same grandeur as Cassy's, the transition to an Epic Class still created quite a stir.
"Hehe! See that, you bitch? An epic class! You should prepare to lick my foot!"
And of course, she didn't forget to taunt Kali now that she got a class second only to a legendary one. Tina was almost convinced she had already won the match!
"Hmph! You didn't even get a legendary. Stop boasting." Kali wasn't amused but still felt some pressure. Still, she didn't let it overwhelm her and countered with logic. "And Elemental Pugilists are DPS, which means we lost one of our tanks. Idiot."
Without even waiting for Faeloria's call, Kali already walked over to the machine, pushed Tina away, and placed her palm on top, letting the machine analyze her "achievements."
The analysis lasted for but a minute before displaying her new class-up choices. Although her expression remained stoic as usual, she was actually anxiously praying for at least an Epic Class to appear!
[
Common: Assassin (IV)
Rare: Trickster (I)
Epic: Master of Shadows (I)
Epic+: Death's Agent (I)
]
"E-Epic... plus?!"
Faeloria already lost count of how many times she got surprised within the short time they were there. For the third time, another class that's extremely hard to come by appeared!
Kali's eyes opened wide, unable to believe what her class-up choices were. However, she soon realized one truth and snickered, her head turning diagonally to her back in a mocking gaze, while staring at Tina's ashen face.
"It's my win." That was all she said.
"N-No way! It's a tie! We're both Epic, so it's a tie!"
"Mine's Epic+, rarer than plain Epic, so I win the bet! Haha, I'm looking forward to making you lick my feet!"
Kali pressed her choice while they bantered with each other, but her finger slipped. She wasn't paying attention, so in the end, the class she selected wasn't the Rare+ Death's Agent, but rather the Rare Master of Shadows Class!
"H-Haha! See? You selected Rare! We're the same rarity, so it's a tie!"
"What? N-No way...!"
When she realized what she had done, it was all too late. Her body released a bright flash of light, signifying that the class-up was successful. But no matter how much she scrunched her eyes, the class name displayed on the monitor wasn't the one she wanted.
"... This is your fault, you vixen! You distracted me on purpose!"
"Your failure to pay attention is not my fault!" It's a tie! The bet is now null and void!"
Tina barely survived by the skin of her teeth! She was almost made to lick Kali's feet, if not for her small misclick!
Kali was shocked. Not only did she miss out on winning their bet, but she even failed to get a Rare+ class! The difference between the two classes might be small at the start, but the difference in their upper limits should be evident when they reach higher levels.
Watching the two cats continue to quarrel, Liz, the last one on the line, silently went forward. With Faeloria's guidance, she placed her palm on top of the panel, letting the machine read her achievements and consolidate the list of classes she could rank up to.
"No way..."
Faeloria's short gasp caused everyone to turn their attention over to the board once more.
The others gasped in shock when they saw what was on the board, just like Faeloria and Liz did.
"Th... The second legendary...!" Aster, who quickly snapped back to his senses, raised his voice in disbelief. "It's another legendary class!"
However, unlike Cassy's situation, Liz had only one choice to make. It was literally giving her no other choice but to select the legendary class displayed before her!
[
Legendary: Divine Knight of Retribution
]
Just by looking at the name, Aster could already infer how she acquired it—thanks to the three skills she acquired after meeting Mummy on the 5th floor—Nefra: Guardian's Embrace, Invulnerability, and Vengeance Burst.
"A legendary... I got a legendary...!" Liz slowly digested the words written on the monitor, causing a smile to spread across her face.
With the flow of events, all of them could harbor a guess that the two legendaries were somehow related to Nefra herself. After all, the two individuals to whom she bestowed her skills had successfully acquired legendary classes consecutively!
"I should've asked for a skill too..."
Kali muttered to herself, regretting her past choices. Tina was roughly of the same mind, lamenting her lack of foresight and choosing weapons instead of practical skills for her class.
Liz was no longer delayed, tapping on the name of the new class she was about to get.
Just like with Cassy, a golden pillar of light fell over her, causing another heavenly spectacle to erupt. At that point, the curiosity of everyone in the city had reached its peak, wondering what was going on.
Seeing two gigantic pillars of light appear in the middle of the city is weird, no doubt!
"Now, I can't go without reporting this..." Faeloria sighed but still showed a wry smile while overseeing the girls before her.
