Chapter 193 - Chapter 191: Pre-Match Enhancement — Personal Stats

read my new story : American Fast & Furious NSFW

When Euron Greyjoy learned that his opponent for the final duel of the single combat was Gregor Clegane, "The Mountain That Rides," his thoughts were pure, cold, and utterly resolute:

Kill him.

This wasn't a whim. It was a conviction forged like steel deep in his soul from the moment he met Princess Elia Martell. After holding her soft, fragile daughter, Rhaenys, in his arms, the thought had become an oath. He swore to butcher Gregor Clegane with his own hands to prevent the tragedy that loomed in the future.

Elia Martell, the princess from Dorne, was kind and elegant, her words and mannerisms revealing an elf-like wit and gentleness. Her little daughter, Rhaenys, was a budding rose, an innocent princess who called his name in a sweet, childish voice.

If they were strangers, their fate might have been nothing more than a tragic rumor from a distant land. But months of interaction had made Elia a friend he admired, and Rhaenys a treasure he wished to protect.

Just thinking about the unspeakable cruelty and filth the Mountain would inflict upon them in the original timeline—thinking of those scenes that defied description—made a cold fire of rage burn in Euron's gut, keeping him awake at night.

If he had been reborn with foresight and power, yet could not even twist the fate of those he cherished right before his eyes, then what was the point of this second life?

Late last night, after returning to his quarters, Euron sealed the heavy stone door against the noise outside. He carefully reviewed his abilities and the harvest of his journey, his eyes gleaming with calculation.

Before the death match with the Mountain, to maximize his odds, Euron decided to pour all his points into enhancement, reserving only the necessary Soul Points for healing.

A clear ledger of his journey's accumulation surfaced in his mind:

Setting out from the sun-drenched Dorne, crossing the Sea of Dorne, and traveling north to Harrenhal... though he had merely passed through the vast riverlands, the exploration had brought him 3,420 Exploration Points.

During the journey, whenever he rested, Euron sparred with his accompanying warriors, harvesting 2,600 Defeat Points from the beaten men.

Upon arriving at Harrenhal, the conflict with the Brave Companions—the notorious Bloody Mummers—and their subsequent annihilation yielded a rich 6,950 Slaughter Points.

But the most substantial gain came from the tourney itself. Through the single combat, the seven-sided melee, and the joust, he had amassed a staggering 7,980 Defeat and Slaughter Points.

In total, he had earned 20,950 points. Adding the meager 80 points he had left before, his current total was an astounding 21,030 points.

Euron didn't hesitate. He poured this ocean of points into upgrading and evolving his skills. Strength, technique, and even the eldritch powers of his soul surged toward unknown realms.

In total, he spent 21,000 points, leaving only a fraction of 30 points. But his strength had grown by leaps and bounds.

As for Soul Points, he had 11,400.

Counting the 1,400 points spent during the joust, he had harvested a total of 12,800 Soul Points during this tourney alone.

Shocking numbers! Indeed, murder and arson were the golden paths to power.

But it made sense. In the seven preliminary matches of the seven-sided melee, at least two hundred men died per match—that was 1,400 lives extinguished right there. Add the two hundred from the Brave Companions and nearly a hundred from the single combat, and the death toll exceeded 1,700. At roughly 8 Soul Points per head, that would be around 13,600 points. There were surely many souls he hadn't absorbed, or the number would be even higher.

Of the 12,800 points, he injected 10,000 directly into Zeus (Thor). The thundercloud homie instantly swelled to the size of a basketball, a dark, ominous mass crackling with blue lightning. It was finally ready for combat.

These special abilities gave Euron the confidence to kill the Mountain in a duel. Plus, with the Substitute Scarecrow sleeping in his inventory, he felt invincible.

Satisfied with his stats, Euron checked his status panel. The potential for future growth was limitless.

Even with his magical skills, Euron was confident he could kill the Mountain. But to be absolutely sure, he decided to use his Free Attribute Points.

His weakest stat was Strength. With 14 points remaining, he allocated 10 to Strength and 4 to Agility.

The process was more painful than he imagined...

With every point added, he felt his body being torn apart and stitched back together by the surging power. When it was done, he was covered in a layer of black, sticky impurities and blood.

But he felt it. He was far stronger than before.

He felt like he could take on two of his yesterday-selves at once.
