Versatile: Alternate World

263 Versatile, Jack of All Trades and the Versatile Battle Maid (II)

This class is definitely not here in the past timeline and if not for pure chance, I won't notice it either. It was just pure luck I managed to find it or else, I might have chosen the Elementalist Battle Maid or the Ultimate Battle Maid. With all the abilities of Lina in my mind, I am quite confident she will gain a better chance of becoming the strongest battle maid. Stronger than her previous self in the past timeline.

"Let's choose this one. Of course, if this is fine with you."

Lina looked at my choice and she was a bit shocked when she noticed the new class option.

"I didn't see this option before."

"It was a hidden option. You can say it is a hidden class. Also, I think this class is a better option for you out of all the classes. Not only you will get access to all the skills of other Battle Maid classes, but you can also combine them to create your unique playstyle."

"So that means I can also fight like how you do too, Master?"

"Yes, if my assumption is right. It is the case."

Also, Lina is in an advantageous state. Unlike my class with the cons of having double the experience I needed to level up, it seems her class lacks that property, and since she can be influenced by my title, that also means she can easily get stronger and has the possibility of surpassing me.

"If Master wanted me to choose this class, then I will be getting this class. I will not judge your choice and trust you on this one."

"Since that is the case, let's go together since you will also be taking the class up quest in the Shrine of Ascension. I will also be going there to take my class up quest too. If the spirit of the Shrine of Ascension permits it, we might be able to share quest since we are basically having the same questline."

"That would be great if that is the case, Master!"

I checked up on Lina's gear but I don't need to make any changes. Her gear is already optimal and it's currently in its top condition too. I don't need to make a fuss much on it.

"Alright, we are all set. You guys are ready? I might need your help on this quest so everyone, I am counting on all of you."

My followers nodded in response, willing to help me if I needed it. That's all I needed.

I summoned Leona for us to depart towards the Shrine of Ascension.

...

<strong>SHRINE OF ASCENSION</strong>

<strong></strong>It is a desolate place at the very end of the Resurgia Continent. Normally, you need to go to the Headquarters to ask for a teleport waypoint to reach the place by paying a fee but in my case, I don't need to pay if I have my own method of transportation which is Leona. Besides, there is also an achievement and title that I can receive after going there without paying money and help from the Headquarters.

"You know the original location of the Shrine of Ascension, Master?" Lina asked.

"Yes. I have read before a method to find it without the help of the Headquarters. We will also just be able to go here without the need to pay gold which is pretty convenient for us."

"But Master, you have lots of gold in your pocket. Why won't you just spend it?" Atlas asked.

"Hey, I also needed to save money so I will have to resort on all free things as much as I can. It's not easy to earn money and they were easy to spend in a single second. Must be thrifty as always!"

"Hmph, Master you are just too stingy to buy anything. Don't keep on relying to free stuff because soon enough, you will be forced to pay for something," Lucia said.

I went quiet and cannot say any kind of response to that. Yes, in the end, there will be a time I will have to pay on something in the future.

Since the flight is long, I spent the whole flight talking to my followers on random things until we arrive to our destination. The whole surroundings is consumed in fog and we can't even see each other due to the thick fog.

"Leona, maneuver around this place carefully. Follow my directions so that we won't get lost in the process. It will be pretty difficult to find each other if we got lost in this fog."

"Master, why is this place covered in so much fog? I already came here in the past with my other Battle Maid companions before to ask for advice on the entity inside the Shrine of Ascension but there wasn't any fog or whatsoever during my last visit!" Lina said as she wander her eyes around the fog's surroundings, looking for any kind of landmark or familiar looking place she can identify.

"I heard that the Entity inside the Shrine of Ascension do this to outsiders so that they will give up looking for the Shrine of Ascension without the help of the Headquarters. Of course, that doesn't apply to us since I already have found out how to bypass this fog."

In the past timeline, I used to spend my free time mapping the whole place that I eventually got used to the place and I can easily maneuver around the fog without any kind of help of a map or any kind of device. This fog is nothing but a child's play to me.

We did a few twists and turns until the fog slowly get thinner and the surroundings that was obscured by the fog before is slowly being revealed to everyone. A few more twists and turns and the fog vanished completely allowing us to finally see where we are right now.

"Ah! Now this is the place where I am now familiar with! I didn't expect you to be able to find the place so easily, Master! We even didn't get lost from the fog!"

I unsummoned Leona and we arrived on the foothold of the Shrine. Since the others don't need to be here, I let them enter the Summon's Area and enter the Shrine of Ascension with Lina.

Before we can enter, we heard a familiar voice. This exact voice is also the same voice she used to scare anyone who did not come from the Headquarter's accompaniment.
