After the fight against the Giant Minotaur Axe King, Veronica and Ervas’s party gained a large number of Experience Points. Goliath, although he barely participated, gained experience nonetheless and ranked up to a Rank 5 Giant Goblin Zombie Warrior. On the other side, Nidhogg ranked up to a Rank 5 Giant Steel Venomous Scales Drake Worm.
Both of them received a large boost in their power and seemed to be revitalized by this new power, meanwhile, those with Jobs such as Ismene, Amelia, Acathea, Pekorina, and Anna maxed out their current Jobs levels, while Aqua managed to get halfway through towards Rank 7 and Charlotte neared her Rank 6 evolution.
Meanwhile, Ervas maxed both his Rank and Job Level, while Veronica neared her Rank 7 evolution and maxed her Job level.
“Phew! That was refreshing!” said Anna while laughing, wiping out the sweat and blood (of the Minotaur) from her forehead.
“That was a nice practice of my skills, and due to the strong foe, I finally maxed my Job and Rank.. a lot of Skills also leveled up,” said Ervas.
“I wonder why our skills level do up faster when we finish fighting a very strong opponent…?” asked Acathea.
“Oh, that’s because fighting a strong opponent makes our powers evolve through battle, and the Experience Points given to us is also distributed to our skills. When we usually max the level of a Job, there will also be skills leveling up because when our Job levels up, our abilities develop, which are then shown as the skills leveling up… hopefully, my explanation is not confusing…” said Veronica.
“I see! So we fight strong monsters and we develop fast, got it!” said Amelia.
“Well, putting it bluntly… yes, kind of like that, little Amelia,” said Veronica while patting Amelia’s soft head.
“It seems that your Spirit Magic skill also leveled up through this battle, Veronica, it feels as if our connection became stronger, I can acquire more mana than before and… I think we can use a bit more spells” said Shade.
“Oh? That’s perfect then~!” said Veronica with a satisfied laugh.
“I guess we should change Jobs, I will also Rank up,” said Ervas.
“Oh, right, while you two are busy, we’ll butcher this big boy out,” said Anna.
“Let me help you! Also, I don’t think that he’ll miss this giant axe, gahaha!” laughed Goliath as he grabbed upon the Axe of the Minotaur and began to butcher its giant body with it, rivers of blood flew out of the corpse, which Aqua and Nidhogg drank happily.
Ervas saw the rivers of blood and felt a slight hunger and thirstiness. Without realizing it, he was using his Telekinesis to bring a river of blood and drank a dozen liters in one go.
“Burp… that was good,” he said.
“B-Bot?! Since when you can drink blood like that?!” asked Ismene, bewildered.
“I don’t know… I just glanced at it and it seemed so oddly appetizing… why is it? I just… hmm, I feel stuffed now” said Ervas, sitting over one of Veronica’s clones that had a squishy cushion.
“Maybe Ervas has Vampire blood? It came out of nowhere but perhaps her mother had a more intricate bloodline than we thought… and perhaps because he can evolve, unlike demons, he might be able to awaken the bloodlines of his ancestors. Well, that’s what I came out with” said Veronica.
“Probably, but not entirely…” said Ervas.
“Sigh… Well, if that’s the case, it is not like we can do anything over it” said Ismene as she sat down to rest in another cushion-type clone.
“The boy is incredibly talented, no wonder he can do such things… but a Vampire, huh? Interesting” said Anna.
“Liking blood doesn’t mean that I am a Vampire, perhaps using a lot of mana made me hungry… the Digestion skill let me consume any consumable food and transform it into mana, so I had the thirstiness when I glanced at the blood,” said Ervas, trying to come out with a solution.
“Whatever it is, it’s pretty cool! Ah, this meat is tough but so tasty!” said Pekorina while taking a piece of the minotaur meat and tasting it.
Seeing how everyone calmed down, Veronica commanded Goliath to save her the bones and horns of the minotaur.
“Goliath make sure to leave the bones and horns of the Minotaur for me, I will be absorbing those,” said Veronica.
“Alright master!” said Goliath, intensifying his work to compensate for his lack of presence in the fight.
While letting Anna, Acathea, Pekorina, Aqua, Goliath, and the rest butcher the giant corpse of the Minotaur, Veronica and Ervas decided to change Jobs. Ervas planned to evolve after changing Jobs.
Veronica opened her Job tab as her current Job, Wicked Metallic Legion, had reached the max level.
[Jobs Available]
[Armored Thrower], [Cursed Armor Brawler], [Phantasmal Armored Shield User], [Armored Artillery User], [Soul Breaker], [Metallic Thread User], [Light & Darkness Spirit Caster], [Armored Tamer Mistress], [Murderous Metallic Mistress], [Hollow Witch], [Accursed Shadow Soul Metallic Knightess], [Self-Body Alchemist Crafter], [Cursed Shapeshifting Demon Vehicle], [Tartarus Executioner], [Abyssal Soul Demon Armor], [Synthetic Phantasmal Engineer], [Malevolent Necromancer Witch of Dead Spirits] (New!), [Metallic Self-Golem Transmuter] (New!)
“Two new Jobs… and they sound quite eerie as always. Are they related to the skills I’ve acquired in these last weeks?” wondered Veronica.
“Malevolent Necromancer Witch of Dead Spirits and Metallic Self-Golem Transmuter are jobs with very long names, but I can see why I got them to begin with Skills such as Death Attribute Charm, Golem Transmutation, Soul Binding, Dominate Created Undead, all of them relate to ‘necromancy’ in a way… though is Necromancy equal to the concept in the earth even in Kritias? Death Attribute Mages have existed before, but they were so rare that very little registry about them is left… Liches are undead but it doesn’t mean that they can perform necromancy, I think there is a registry of some forcefully controlling undead monsters, but it was very rare… Well, I should stop going off-topic with my thoughts”
Just as Veronica had thought, necromancy in Kritias wasn’t a concept that was greatly known to the masses, as only Death Mages were capable of using Death Attribute spells and possibly control undead better than Liches could ever do… although there were a few Demon Gods with abilities similar to these, Veronica and Ervas were unique in their ability to fascinate the undead and to make them do whatever they ordered them, even get together and form golems out of anything, something saw before.
The Samsara system was made by registering not only Kritias knowledge but also that of Earth and perhaps of many other worlds, the Jobs that Veronica and Ervas acquired from them vastly differed from the ones acquired by normal people who had the normal Kritias System.
“Anyways, I want to sharpen my overall strength and techniques… so I’ll choose…”
