Avelin held his chin and assessed his stats with a faint smile. With this level, he was finally unmatched in the whole area.
He was already unbeatable at Level 5 and now upgrading to Level 6 would make him invincible in this small area.
There were two Level 7 enemies guarding the gates but their presence would make this place unstable so unless they want to shake the world and get trapped here, they won't dare to engage in battle here but that also means he can't get out of this damned place unless he could defeat them.
"Haaaaa!''Avelin sighed, rubbing his eyes with a hint of nostalgia. From a poor thatched leaf roof to protect himself from fire and rain, he had come away to great distance to amass this strength. It certainly wasn't easy when you didn't cheat and had to survive on various skills.
"Fortunately, I was reborn as a human, unlike other people who became goblins, hobgoblins, and Orcs."
"And once I kill all of them, I would have enough exp to level up to rank 7 and advance out. After that, I can finally drink colas and eat good human food."
Avelins eyes almost became teary thinking about this. Even if he was Lord, the food he had been eating tasted like shit.
"For Food…No, for good food…I need to get stronger.."
Wiping his tears, his face became serious.
"Now…"
He stared at the new skills he gained.
[Beginner Anti-Magic], Talent skill. Reduce the effect of Level 5 or lower elemental spell attacks or debuffs against the user by 30%.
"A good skill."Avelins gave his system thumps with a gleeful smile and then looked at his other skill levels.
Avelin then pondered deeply and looked at his skills wondering which one to level first.
Thinking about the battle with the human, his mood soiled. Even though that guy was Level 4 he gave him a hell of a fight.
That guy's weird eye power serves as crisp resistance to his Lord's aura. Also his raw power, stamina, agility, and durability, all were top notch.
"I wish my power had worked on him. I need a guy like that."
"Whatever! Everything will fall into the right place. I just need to keep on the grind."
"Hmm! I have 19 skill points and each upgrade required from Level 5 to Level 6 needs 15 points so I can only choose one."
"I have enough skill points to level up Lord Pressure. I hope this level won't let me down.
[Lord Pressure has leveled up from Level 5→Level 6.]
[Lord Pressure has evolved...]
"What?"Avelin screamed in joy as a mystifying power swelled in his body.
[Lord Aura--->Emperor's Pressure.]
[Emperor Pressure]: Costs 700 QP. Upon activation, Emperor Pressure exerts a potent aura of dominance within a 100 meter radius, instilling fear and awe in all targets within range. The foes affected may become dazed or stunned, while their stats experience a temporary decrease while the allies will look at you in awe and reverence with a significant boost in strength. The skill has a cooldown time of thirty minutes.]
"That's really powerful."
It's a super large area of effect mass crowd control (CC) skill.
Not only does Emperor Pressure have a CC effect, but it can also do quite a bit of damage against weaker enemies while at the same time having an intimidation and debuff effect.
Avelin was sure that he wouldn't have lost to Leon in the exchange if he had this skill.
"I still have 4 points. Let's see what I can upgrade next."
Level 2 required 1 point, then 3, 5, 10, and 15 points respectively.
He upgraded the healing skill to Level 3.
After doing so he looked for the new units unlocked for him.
1.[Orcish Warlords]. Level 6 Legendary. Created by promoting Elite Orcish Berserkers through rigorous training and battle experience. Each promotion costs 5000 gold.
2.[Elite Orcish Berserkers]. Level 6 Elite. Created by leveling up Orcish Warriors. Each level-up costs 2000 gold.
3. [Orcish Archers]. Level 4. Deadly marksmen trained from birth, equipped with powerful bows and keen eyesight. Upgrade cost: 2000 gold.
4.[Hobgoblin Snipers]. Level 4. Masters of stealth and precision, armed with long-range rifles and camouflage gear. Upgrade cost: 3000 gold.
5.[Orcish Warriors]. Level 5. Formidable melee fighters wielding massive axes and heavy armor. Upgrade cost: 2500 gold.
6. [Hobgoblin Maulers]. Level 5. Elite shock troopers towering over foes, armed with massive war hammers and reinforced armor. Upgrade cost: 3500 gold.
7. [Orcish Shamans]. Level 6. Masters of dark magic, healing, and curses, are crucial for battlefield support. Upgrade cost: 2800 gold.
8. [Hobgoblin Warlords]. Level6. Inspiring leaders with tactical brilliance, leading from the frontlines with deadly weapons. Upgrade cost: 3800 gold.
What shocked him was their Level. Many of them were at Level 6.
They are more than enough to sweep the entire battlefield within a few minutes if all of them were leashed at once.
Of course, they were not easy to summon. On top of that being ridiculously expensive they have additional requirements.
The ratio of Orcish Berserk is 1:1000, and hobgoblins sniper was 1:500 which means every 1000 Orcs can have one Orcish Berserker and every 500 hobgoblins would have 1 hobgoblins sniper.
The ratio of Orcish Warlords to normal troops is 1:10000 which was also quite high as presently he had only 40000 Orc out of which many died in the previous battle.
Moreover, the higher level of troops needs more supplies which is a bottomless pit.
Before humans entered, he had harvested crops and burned the fields and stocked up a lot but a part of the stock had already been used up as even a small goblin eat as much as three times and it was better to not talk about Orcs so maintaining the army was really a grievous task as if they don't get food their stats would dwindle.
"Haaaaa!"Avelin sighed heavily.
"It's okay Avelin. One day you will have bottomless gold and resources. We are just at part 2, there is still a world, then a small cluster world, a star field, supercluster start field, and so on…."
"It's gonna take a year and it would be boring without friends and companions. I hoped Leon accepts my proposal. From his words, he looked like a transmigrator like me alas…."Avelin regretted it a bit but as he stared at three heads he shook his head.
"Those who defy me should die. If I am become soft as the Emperor, how can I create a huge supergalactic empire?"
Suppressing his regret, Avelin started to bulk buy to bring an end to all the farce.
