Chapter 323: Ervas’ Bloodline Skill Tree and Veronica’s New Job Changes!
—–
Now that Ervas was done changing Jobs and Evolving, he considered using his current Skill Points to buy a Skill or enhance his bloodlines based on his new System function.
Ervas currently had 37.956 Skill Points, 20.000 which he earned by eating Graham, and the other 17.956 were earned through leveling and from the prayers and beliefs of his people.
For a moment, he glanced back at the Skill Shop first.
(Ervas)
[Skill Shop]
<Available Skills>
[Nature Creation and Manipulation: Level 1] [Cost: 20.000 Skill Points]
[Divine Mana: Level 1] [Cost: 50.000 Skill Points]
[Void World: Level 1] [Cost: 100.000 Skill Points]
[…]
The only Skill he could afford was the Nature Creation and Manipulation, which seemed rather strong, however, he considered that saving for Divine Mana would be even better, as he believed that something special would happen if he were to really acquire such a skill, coupled with his Mana God Skill.
There was also the Void World Skill, which might give Ervas some kind of inner space ability like Veronica’s Abyssal Tartarus Soul.
For these Skills, Ervas felt the necessity to save these precious points for now and consider changing to the [Essence Absorber] Job in the future.
However, he was also intrigued by his Bloodline System and the ability he had to now use Skill points on them to increase their %.
As he saw his stats, Ervas discovered that each of his Bloodlines was set at 10%, meaning that through Skill Points, he could be able to learn new skills from them or even stat boosts, increasing that percentage until it could reach 100%, however, whenever that happened would be in the far future, when he could be able to earn Skill Points in larger quantities.
Ervas glanced at the Dragon Bloodline, a 10%, and discovered that many Skills or effects were waiting to be unlocked.
[Dragon Bloodline (10%): 0/10]: The Bloodline of the Ancient Dragons, the more Skill Points you use to increase its level, the greater the powers of the dragons will rush through your body and soul, enhancing your durability, magic resistance, and strength exponentially.
Additional Abilities Include: [Draconic Growth: 0/5], [Elemental Dragon: 0/5], [Champion: 0/5].
>> [Ancient Dragon King: 0/15]: Additional Abilities Include: [Imperial Scales: 0/5], [Dragon Barrier: 0/5], [Dragon Power: 0/5].
>> [Elder Dragon God: 0/20]: Additional Abilities Include: [Divine Scales: 0/5], [Divine Dragon Barrier: 0/5], [Divine Dragon Power: 0/5].
>> [Supreme Divine Dragon Progenitor: 0/25]: Additional Abilities Include: [Transcendental Draconic Growth: 0/5], [Divine Elemental Dragon: 0/5], [Hero: 0/5], [Divine Dragon Soul: 0/5]
“Woah…”
Ervas was left a bit confused at first, the amount of Skills and power he could unlock was baffling, but the amount of Skills Points he needed was rather crazy as well, especially because each level needed 500 Skill Points, and he had to go to unlock everything, similarly to a Skill Tree.
The craziest part is that within the Bloodline subcategories were depending on how strong he kept growing and more Skill Points he added, with such categories coming with Additional Abilities within them.
Ervas quickly discovered that it was the same for every other bloodline, which showed their own inner abilities and subcategories that resembled skill trees that he needed to slowly unlock in order.
Because he already had a ton of Bloodlines, it was overwhelming the number of Abilities he was being offered, and he had a hard time choosing what to pick first.
Although he saw some crazy Skills in the Vampire Bloodline such as [Blood Clone], [Devil Eyes], and many others, he decided to contain himself and save the Skill Points for now, as he had grown a lot strong lately and did not particularly felt the need to hasten things up even more.
“It would be better to save, I don’t have to be childish and rush things up,” concluded Ervas.
At the same time, Veronica glanced at her available Job Options…
“Hmmm~ I should have a ton of new Jobs available, as I haven’t changed in a while…” she thought.
[Jobs Available]
[Acheron Ferrier], [Demon Beast Queen], [Undead Metallic Arachnid Matriarch], [Demonic Shadow Phantasmal Soul Queen], [Abyssal Phantasmal Soul Warrior], [Gods Nemesis], [Abyssal Living Armory], [Thunderous Armored Tyrant Empress], [Invoker of Accursed Graveyards], [Undying Abyssal Curse Caster], [Living Demonic Mechanical Undead], [Abyssal Soul Shadow Ruler], [Accursed Phantasmagoric Flying Train], [Abhorred Manipulator and Devourer of Emotions], [Pseudo Light Attribute Mage], [Death Attribute Mage], [Gluttonous Material Devourer], [Abyssal Metallic Demon Fighter], [Dungeon Creator] (New!), [Essence Absorber] (New!), [Nyx] (New!), [Abyssal Night World Goddess] (New!), [Chaos Attribute Mage] (New!), [Otherworldly Mechanical Organism] (New!)
“These Jobs look insane…” thought Veronica in awe.
The [Dungeon Creator] and [Essence Absorber] Jobs were the same as Ervas had, the first was related to the creation of Dungeons which would also bring a greater edition of Dungeons, and Essence Absorber might help into the absorption of the essence, whatever that was.
The [Nyx] Job is most likely related to her newest Race and brought her an increase to all of her stats alongside her Soul, Phantom, Magic, Hades, and Nyx Skills.
The [Abyssal Night World Goddess] Job could be related to Veronica’s inner space within her soul, and how she is something akin to a goddess in such an inner world, this Job seemed to enhance her power over such space and the Skills related to it.
The [Chaos Attribute Mage] Job was rather straightforward, as it was obviously related to Veronica’s Chaos Attribute Magic, and it enhanced her usage over it and how much she could shape it.
Lastly, the [Otherworldly Mechanical Organism] Job was a mysterious and strange Job, it seemed to simply enhance all of Veronica’s capabilities except that of her Soul, Phantom, and Magic, even to the point of bringing an even greater manipulation over her metallic body…
“All of these sound appetizing, but I should pick other previous Jobs that might already become ripe and ready for me to harvest immediately,” thought Veronica.
Ding!
[You changed Jobs to [Demon Beast Queen]!]

Similar to Ervas, the requirement for this Job to earn EXP was to be in command of many demons and beast-kin, which Veronica already was in large quantities.
“Oh, these awakened, sweet… Now, I would really like to get something to level up this pile of Level 9 Skills I have… Let’s see…”
Ding!

Ding!
[Your Job Level has reached Level 100!]
The requirements for this Job were for Veronica to be in command of hundreds of spider-like creatures, which were most of her clones, quickly increasing the EXP until it reached a max level almost immediately.
“Jackpot! Four Skills awakened!” laughed Veronica.
The moment her Skills awakened, Veronica felt like her mind was going even faster than before, and that every Clone she had served as an actual new brain for her, someone that did not even have a brain, to begin with, her thought speed and processing became incredibly fast, and she felt even more unified with her Clones.
Alongside this, she seemingly had the power to… lay eggs now.
“Alright let’s try,” she said nonchalantly, as she extended her phantom hand, and just as she willed it, a few millions of Mana were spent, and a black-colored metallic egg fell into the ground.
Clank!
“Oh?”
Crack, crack!
Pop!
The egg immediately opened, as Veronica glanced at a tiny Spider-shaped Living Armor.
She had just made a child!
How anticlimactic!
The child seemed to hold part of her, but was not a Clone, and held a primitive and independent mind and soul.
Although it immediately seemed more intelligent than your average Living Armor, and it glanced at Veronica with contempt.
The creature itself was named ‘Living Metallic Spider’ and was Rank 3, it could level up and it had a few Skills that both Spiders and Living Armors came with.
