415 Getting More Skills
Adel and the girls seemed to be worried about my lack of response, but since Atollie told me not to say anything to them, then I won’t. But I still needed to give them some sort of explanation. So after scratching my head and trying to figure out the best way to explain things, I slowly began to tell them what I could. “Basically, Atollie and I share a special connection, unlike other summons. This is totally different from Diablo, Iena, and Freidinia as well. Atollie comes from a completely different realm, and in short, our souls are connected. Due to me being able to provide her with the mana she needs to live on, she is now here to stay, but this also comes with a strange occurrence that I now know how to deal with. I can not explain things but trust me when I say I will not fade away anymore.”
“I hope so….” Adel walked over and hugged me, so did Sophie. I sighed. I hated not being able to tell them the full truth, but it was probably for the best since I did not know what would happen if they knew. At any rate, for the time being, I will need to be careful in my dreams from now on. I just hope I can control my body during those times. After all, dreams are not always fully under someone’s control.
But now that that was settled, it was time to take a look at the loot. “Oh?” I looked at the pile. I spotted not only skill stones but even a few limit break stones as well. “There are six here. So you girls split them up between the four of you. Sei, Sally, take the extra two.”
“Huh? You are not taking any?” Adel asked in confusion.
“No, I already have one. And now also Atollie. I would prefer it if you all had better skills to work with. At least with the limit breaks, you will be able to have extra trump cards.” I wanted the girls to have as many cards as possible to ensure their survival.
“I guess this is true….” Adel hummed. She looked at the skill stones and picked them up, and passed them out. I had given Sally and Sei extra ones because they will be the ones to protect Sophie and Adel the most. They were their personal guards now, after all. Luckily they were all now over level 1000 along with me…

[Ultimate Skills]
[Atollie]
So basically, at this time, I am sitting on a mountain of points. Just in this current dungeon, I have gained 1876 levels, 9380 status points, and 1876 skill points. If you add in my trickle…. That is an extra 56280 status points which will really boost me all around. With such a power boost, we are basically leaving everyone else behind, but this also means that the next floor level will probably be much harder. I do wonder, though, since I have Atollie, can I not power-level everyone quickly if we summon the mega boss? I will have to test it to see, but if we can, then it will be worth the repeated dungeon dives, that is, if the ultimate boss is able to be summoned.
I would not mind seeing my level hit nine thousand plus. Then again, greed is not a good thing either.
While I know, Azengrade is still at a higher level than me. He is no match for Atollie, but I do not know about the people above him or how many levels of ranks they have above general. Speaking of this… “Atollie, if one wanted to take control of this dungeon and slightly alter it, how powerful would they need to be?”
“At least around my strength to alter it. Even I can’t do too much to this dungeon as it seems to be created but someone very powerful. Although if you were to have a tool made to change part of the dungeon from a powerful person, then you could still alter it at your level but such a tool would need to be crafted by someone even stronger than me.” Atollie replied, which made me feel no better than before. So if what Atollie is saying is correct, then, Azengrade did not control the dungeon himself but used a tool to do so.
Scratching my head, I leaned over and whispered: “Is it possible for someone from your realm to be able to come down here and mess around?”
“Mmm… it happens all the time. They get bored and decide to do things down here to entertain them. It really depends on who and what they design to do.” And those were the words I did not wish to hear. But this only brings about more questions. Like who is behind the Altorians, and were the Altorians created by this being, just following their orders, or are they something else? I felt another headache coming on. I am wondering why I was reborn in this world where it seems everything wishes to be on a power scale much stronger than I am. I thought I was amazing being a dragon, but I guess I am just a frog in a well. Or did these things all happen because I am here with this strange system?
I massaged my temples as I walked over to Adel and placed my forehead on her shoulder. This allowed me to receive head pats. I do this when I need to clear my mind. Head pats fix everything!
After sorting through all the items, Adel and the girls all got new armor. I did not take anything since my armor was probably the best I could get at this time. After all, it was the armor Trinity wore, and I still did not know what level she truly was. But one thing did come to mind. If Atollie had blood, would I be able to drink it? And if so, would I be able to gain experience from it?
I kinda wanted to ask, but I figured I would wait for the right time. My quest to grow stronger was real, but I did not wish to force anyone into anything.
“Now that things are put away, I want to rest a little longer. I need to take a look at my skill menu.” With so many skills points, I really wanted to see if there was anything useful that I could use. I sat down once more and opened my menu, and began looking through the skills. There were so many skills that I really had no idea where to start. “Cooking mastery…. Fishing Mastery…. Tracking? Hmmm….. Let’s get this….. And max it to level ten.”
I kept scanning through the skills and came upon one called mesmerizing, which worked the same as my charm, so I skipped it. There were many that were absolutely useless. But if you look deeply, you can find a few gems here and there, like practical skills. Tracking, for instance, allowed me to track not only animals but any race with a quick look. I grabbed this since it seemed quite useful. “Hmmm? Lingual Mastery? A skill to allow me to understand any language to ever exist….” The price of this skill was high. While maxing out tracking costs me ten points, this skill will cost me one thousand points to max out. Just to buy it costs ten points. But this may just be very useful later on.
With these two skills, I decided to close my menu. I am sure there are more, but I do not want to waste too much time sifting through all the skills. “All set?” Sophie asked as she saw me stand up.
“Yeah, let’s move on,” I replied with a smile. We gathered our things and began deciding down to the eleventh floor. The first five floors were a forest area, the floors from the sixth to the tenth were all rocking areas, and now we seemed to be in a fire area. It was hot. I mean, this is coming from a dragon girl! It was really hot! The floor was sizzling under our feet. If we did not use ice magic to keep our feet cool, we would have already retreated. The only one who seemed fine was Atollie.
“Atollie, you are not hot?” I asked.
“No, this kind of temperature is not that bad. But I do suggest that you be extra careful there are some powerful elementals on this floor. They are hiding within the lava at the side and watching us.” Atollie warned me, making me pursed my lips. Why do I feel like having Atollie here might have caused a break in the dungeon system?
“It would be funny if the boss for these floors is a dragon.” Sei looked at me and snickered, which in turn made me stick my tongue out at her. But to be honest, it would be amusing.
