'Both of these skills are pretty good, ' William thought. 'Now let's check out the other skills of the Dark Witch Job.'
William could not help his excitement from appearing on his face as he opened the Dark Mage Skill Tree. Previously, he had not had time to check his skills because he was still in front of Celine and Owen.
Now that he was alone, no one could stop him from exploring the class of work that almost wiped out his entire flock.

William finally understood that Black Magic was unlike any other elemental magic that dealt devastating damage. It was more focused on decreasing the target and using its moment of weakness to finish him off using the Seed of Darkness.
Also, Spectral Hand along with Shadow Conjuration gave William plenty of alternatives to increase his curse to the limit.
Although Seed of Darkness might look like a weak skill, its deadline would shine after the target was exposed to one or more status ailments.
“Even maybe stronger than my Glacial Lance at max level,” William murmured. "No. It must be stronger. This seed of Darkness is quite evil. This is definitely the strongest magic attack in my arsenal at the moment, but the condition is that a status effect should be applied to the target.”.
What William did not know, and Celine did not tell him, was that skill was an extremely rare skill. It was similar to a skill that could be obtained by using Celine's grimoire.
In the central continent, other than William, there were only five people who could use this Dark Magician's offensive skill. Celine was one of those five people. This proves how rare this skill is.
'So, where should I take first?' William pondered. 'Should I choose first to increase everyone's resistance to Black Magic, or should I learn status effect skills first like Void Arrow or Confuse Ray?'
William had seen how effective the Void Arrow was because he experienced it firsthand. As for Confuse Ray, it didn't even need to be mentioned. Ella rampaging in the middle of her attack was an extremely frightening sight to behold.
Of course, if he wanted to be practical, he could only obtain a Dispel skill that could effectively eliminate the negative buff on the target rather than gain the skill .
In the end he decided to raise his Dark Mage Job Level to level 15 first before challenging the Hobgoblin Shaman. Due to Gavin's blessing, he would have 45 skill points available when he reached his target level.
It would be more than enough to gain the skill he needed to take revenge with the Hobgoblin Shaman.
'One step at a time.' William smiled as he hoped to visit the Goblin Crypt tonight. Fortunately, I discovered Black Magic early. Otherwise, I might become arrogant from having a smooth exploration within the Goblin Crypt.'
After defeating the Millennial Beast, William's confidence swelled exponentially. Only the last incident against the Hobgoblin Shaman managed to bring him down.
While William is busy daydreaming about his eventual victory against the Hobgoblin Shaman, Leah appears in the goat pen looking for him.
"Aren't you tired of staying with goats all day?" leah asked while looking at the lazy boy who was lying so comfortably in his mother's stomach.
“Sister, as long as I am with Mama, I will never get bored,” William replied with a smile.
“Meeeeh.” Ella nodded in agreement.
“Hmmm...” Leah looked at William with a curious look. “You look very calm. No one seems to be telling you the latest news about what is happening in our kingdom. ”
“Um? Is there something I should know?” ask William. He was aware that his grandfather kept abreast of the latest news in the kingdom with the help of messenger birds sent by his friends and acquaintances.
John and the Blitz would also leave the city for a day or two to see the current situation of the Beast Tide.
William had been unconscious for three days so he was unaware of the latest developments in the kingdom. Since her cousin's "boyfriend" was looking for her, it seemed like something big was indeed happening while she was busy thinking about her own problems.
Leah sighed as she gave William the latest news that had just arrived from the front line.
“The Windermere Fort has been overrun by Beast Tide,” Leah said with a serious expression. “More than half of the defenders were killed. Those who survived were rescued by the Gryphon Brigade and taken to Windkeep Fortress to strengthen the second line of defense.”
William frowned. If his memory is correct, Windkeep Fortress is the second line of defense of the Kingdom just in case Fort Windermere falls to the Beast Tide. During the past Beast Tides, the fortifications had been strengthened due to the increasing strength of each attack against the kingdom.
Even so, it was still much weaker compared to the Windermere Fortress.
“What does my grandfather plan to do?” William asked. "Is he currently planning to join and obtain services for the kingdom?"
Lea shook her head. “I don't know what grandpa's planning. However, once the Windkeep Fortress has been destroyed, the Beast Tide will have open access to the inner region of Hellan Kingdom.”
"Hmmm. I don't think you need to worry about this, Brother, ”comment William. “I'm sure everyone in the kingdom, including the nobles, finally realized how dire the situation was.
“I believe our King has sent an edict to all nobles that they should send their personal troops to help defend the Windkeep Fortress. Big brother, the Hellan Kingdom is not too weak. Without a doubt, all the masters the King possessed were now heading to the frontlines to deal with the current threat. ”
"… Is that so?" Leah may be smart, but her heart is still a young girl. He was unlike William who had read many stories in Kingdom Building, and played many fantasy RPG games.
William grinned as a thought popped into his head. The young man was convinced that his grandfather would definitely not stay silent. James will definitely come have some fun and get some profit for Lont. That way, the King would turn a blind eye to the expansion plans they had begun under his nose.
