Chapter 126 Tier 2
A/N: Read the author's note at the very end.
*
The moment Michael uttered those words, the feather disappeared from in front of his eyes and suddenly, he could feel a sharp pain traveling up his back.
He immediately fell to the ground as it felt like he had been completely paralyzed, the pain, however, was still growing and getting more intense.
Endure, It won't take much longer.
'Easy for you to say' Michael shot back while attempting to roll on the ground. It was an annoying type of pain, as if an itch you could not quite scratch.
Stop being a pussy, it's just a little bit of pain.
'Ha? So you are now dropping the formalities completely?'
What's the point in formalities? I nearly exposed myself once in the past, and now that we are on the same page, it doesn't matter.
Michael grumbled and remembered the one time the system broke character, he had not thought much of it at the time since he thought it was due to his own influence.
But if it was like that, then how about the dungeon and other stuff he had encountered? The system could have definitely prevented it.
Obviously, I could have, but I deemed Meph an ally, not a foe. As for the others, they also proved to be of no threat to you. The real challenges will begin once you finally leave this world and head to one of the less charted worlds.
Michael took deep breaths and began slowly standing up once again, the pain was slowly starting to fade 'On the Daor continent, right?'
Yes, there should be quite a wide selection of worlds there.. Or so I have been told, Gabriel was not much of a talker.
'Your Archangel friend?' Michael asked as he began stretching, his body felt stiff all over.
Yes, the one whose statue you first saw, as well as the one whose feather you just took in. He is quite the spirited lad, what do they call them nowadays..? Oh right, a tsundere.
A shiver went down his spine, it reminded him of Kevin before he knew of his actual identity.
'So he is from this world then? What about you?' He asked with a tinge of curiosity.
I am the only Archangel who had been born right after God himself, the others were selected, hence why I was a pureblood, and apparently, so are you.
'I see..' Michael finished stretching and decided to take a look at his status, and upon opening it, he noticed that there were a couple of new options added, however, what really caught his eye was the Progress bar as it displayed 100%, meaning he could finally Tier up.
Most of his stats were also S ranked besides Charisma and Strength, which, for some reason, were both stuck at A and B- rank respectively.
I guess that little bit of excess energy was enough. Alright, sit down, I will weave the thread for you.
He listened and sat down on a nearby sofa 'You sure I can't just do it myself?'
As soon as he said that, a soothing feeling began rising up from the bottom of his spine, it felt similar to how he first obtained the mana core, just a lot less painful.
I would have if your light affinity was below Supreme rank, however, since it isn't, I don't want you risking your life for nothing. The first people to figure out how to weave their mana core threads did it through trial and error. They wasted a lot of time and a lot of mana, since every time you fail at weaving the core, your mana drastically decreases.
Michael's eyes widened at that explanation 'Is that only for people who have a Supreme-ranked affinity?'
Sort of, the higher ranked the affinity was, the more intricate the weaving process became, it only increased in difficulty since you have a Flow core, one wrong move and you might just be paralyzed for a few months.
'...Just weave the thread already' Michael sighed and relaxed on the sofa, letting the system finish what it was already doing.
He expected there to be some sort of reaction or something similar when Tier'ing up, however, it was pretty plain.
All that was different from the average day was that he could feel his strength steadily increasing.
Michael was unable to check his own status during the weaving process, it seemed like the system had locked him from doing so.
And finally, the weaving process was finished, the strength of his mana increased by leaps and bounds, his Mana Purity nearly doubled as well.
But most importantly, the halo above his head began shining a bright golden light.
It slowly enveloped him and he could feel a surge of information entering his brain, assimilating with his already existing memories.

[Archangel Michael's Signature Skill Acquired: Sanctuary]
Sanctuary [Superior] [Active]
# A domain of light that you can control freely. Doubles the casting time and power of all your existing Light-affinity skills while inside the domain.
*Cost: 50% MP
*Radius: 100 Meters around the caster
*Duration: 1 Minute
*Cooldown: 1 Week
Michael stared at the new skill in wonder, it looked incredibly powerful. It said he could control the domain freely, which means he could increase the gravity just like the system did against him or even do more incredible stuff while inside.
However, the cooldown of a week threw him off a bit, he had hoped it was a skill he could just use constantly, after all, his chances of winning any fight greatly increased with this new skill.
The Cost, Duration and Cooldown will decrease the stronger you get, after all, it wasn't my signature skill for no reason. As for the Radius, it will double every single time you Tier up. Anyways, go check out your new status.

A/N:
I added the S- and S+ ranks to better fit the story, as for the stats themselves, they are below, more about them will be explained in the next chapter.
Let me know if I should make a separate auxiliary chapter for the new status/stat calculation!
Oh, and the reason he started off at F not F- is because of his Physical Enhancement skill which boosted all of his stats by 1 minor rank.
F- 50-99 | F 100-149 | F+ 150-199 | D- 200-249 | D 250-299 | D+ 300-349 | C- 350-399 | C 400-449 | C+ 450-499 | B- 500-549 | B 550-599 | B+ 600-649 | A- 650-699 | A 700-749 | A+ 750-799 | S- 800-849 | S 850-899 | S+ 900-1000MAX
