Way of Overlord-Chapter 503: Between Two People

But this also is the reason why most people born with innate strength are not quite right in the head

It is not because they are born like that but they were subjected to such pressure from when they were young.

And some even if they are not pressured when they are young, they are pressured when they are older.

And also, the thing with putting people in constant pressure is that sometimes the pressure is too much

Aeryon suspected that his father Rakarys probably knows about this and have been planning for Belarion for a long time

Because Belarion is probably the most well-adjusted person born with innate strength.

Even though he is quite simple, he is loved by the tribe.

Most people born with innate strength are mostly feared and rarely loved.

Even the chief of a tribe who have such people would fear such a person who could tear you apart.

It is like sleeping with a tiger.

When he is in a good mood, this tiger would eat the wolves eyeing your house.

But if its angry, it could maw you to death.

But Belarion is different.

When he was a child he was sheltered and protected from pressure. When he did fight, he fight because he wanted to.

Maybe that is the difference.

And maybe his father knew that.

Aeryon did not have this kind of thought in a whim.

He had already thought about it and he thinks that his father was planning a long game

It is just a pity that his father did not live long enough to see whether his plan work out or not.

If he did planned for Belarion to one day fight for the tribe, then maybe the Southern great Steppe had underestimated his father ambition

And if his father really had such ambition, then when he was on his deathbed he must have regretted many things

But in the end, Aeryon does not know whether the action his father takes was intentional or was he really sincere in not wanting Belarion to be exposed to such a life

And even if it’s true, sometimes, wanting to use people does not mean that he is not being sincere.

No one expected a chief to be a saint

Maybe his father really wanted to use Belarion.

But at the same time, it did not mean he was not sincere.

Everyone must have a use for one to find a purpose.

Even if one did not have a use in the beginning, one must find it for oneself even more so in this harsh world with little laws.

If you do not have use, then you are dead weight. It is cruel but at the same time it is done to survive.

So, find a use.

Sometimes, they are people who used people and sometimes there are people who wants to be used.

Aeryon could only sighed at this.

Regardless of what his father planned or thought, the end result is that Belarion is quite well adjusted.

He is not bloodthirsty even in battle.

It is more like he is rational while being passionate.

In the battle instead of being rashly angry and increase his strength, his passion in battle did not hinder him from seeing the big picture.

And that is what Belarion could do which is amazing when compared to the other people born with innate strength

But Aeryon strength even though it is itself magnificent and he himself is one step above normal warriors, when Aeryon really faced such a person born with innate strength, his rare might would falter.

But in battle, strength is not the only determinant of a victory.

After all, this is not like some cultivation world where your realm determine everything.

In a battle, strength is the main factor, but there is also endurance, stamina, your intelligences, your constitution, dexterity, perception, agility, weapon, terrains and even luck

All of this would help determine the battle.

This is why Aeryon even though he himself is not born with innate strength is regarded as some as one who was born with innate strength

In battle, he could use bow and arrow from a distance, riding his horse while sniping people and when he is force to stop, he could unsheathe the curved sword or wave his glaive and cut down people like they were weeds.

Aeryon did not use the attribute point because in a battle he realizes the impact and use of this attribute point

For example, if he fight someone who is a few points stronger than him then he could use the point to suddenly raise his strength

Imagine if the enemy had already made an assessment of your strength and then as your enemy is confident to receive your attack, you increase your strength by twenty point.

In Aeryon case, it would mean the rise of two ranks of his strength

He would raise his strength to Legendary rank.

At that time, the enemy would misjudge his strength and would get chopped down in two.

It is like a surprise attack because the attack strength is so different from what was expected.

And that is not the only use.

When using the stats points, for example on constitution, it could even help you to stave off injuries and even heal your body.

For example, if Aeryon had severe injuries in a fight and at that time, he uses all twenty points on his constitution, Aeryon suspected that the wound itself would close up as his body is adjusting the new changes.

It is the same for his other stats, If he raises agility, then his attack would suddenly become more flexible and faster.

If he gets tired in a battle of attrition then putting twenty points of attribute towards his endurance, then that battle would elan heavily towards him

This is the reason why he is not so anxious to use up his attribute points right now

What he wanted the most right now is Destiny Points because to him right now, the most important thing is resources for the tribes.

But it not easy to gain destiny points.

"Saving Garron would also gain me destiny points" Aeryon mutters and sighed.

When he decided to save Garron, the system notified him of a quest

The quest was to save Garron and change his destiny.

The failure condition is that Garron dies

He died and he did not get any rewards.

Fortunately , there is no failure penalty.

But if he had succeeded, then he would get more destiny points.

He thought to gain destiny point is like conquering region, forming a powerful alliance, defeating enemy of the tribe but he had confirmed one thing

Destiny Points probably refers to the fact that it changes destiny

The more he changes the predetermined destiny, the more destiny points he would get

This is his conjecture.

At first Aeryon thought that Destiny Point is geared more toward expanding the tribe.

Because the Will of the Great Steppe wanted to be united.

The Will of the Steppe merged with the system he had and bring changes to his system.

He wonders that if he set foot in Yan or Roma or Western Zhou could he devours those Will of those lands and evolve his system

He himself did not understand much about the system he have.

At first he thought the system is quite basic.

More like a profession system.

But when it merged with the Will of the Steppe, something changed for his system

And right now, the reason he is coming out of the city and goes to his usual training sport is because he get another quest last night

He swipes it out of his vision last night because he did not want to deal with it when his heart are so unstable and when his mind is also in chaos.

Last night, his wife is playing intrigues with him and even Mayeux plotted against him.

He is not angry at Mayeux.

Because he understood that Mayeux even sacrifice the protection and his trust to do something that is actually beneficial to the tribe

Mayeux knew that the moment Aeryon understood his scheme, that there is a high chance that he would be alienated by Aeryon.

In the past, Mayeux tested Aeryon to determine whether he is his wise lord.

But since Mayeux has acknowledged Aeryon as his lord, he would not regret even if he is abandoned.

It is precisely because of this Aeryon could not be angry.

His advisor could even throw away his most precious talisman of saving lives for Aeryon and this tribe

What is Mayeux talisman of saving lives?

It is nothing more than Aeryon trust.

As long as Aeryon trust him, no one could kill Mayeux no matter how many mistakes he made in the tribe.

But he sacrifices that. So, if Mayeux could do this for him, what reason would he have to betray such trust?

He is not an idiot.

Someone is sincere towards him; how could he punish such person?

Even if Mayeux plotted against him, he sacrificed so much for him
