The first change was that instead of Mana, now Energy was present as my second stat. And my [Body], which I was leaving for later, somehow changed from [Mortal] to [Triple-Equilibrium Heavenly Body!]
[Body: Triple-Equilibrium Heavenly Body
Grade: A
Description: The Body of a being whose 3 of 5 sides have formed a complete harmony with each other. Their limits have been pushed to their peak and beyond, allowing the being to perform feats at a heavenly level.
Effects:
Harmony of Energy:
-For every 1 point in intelligence, the user's Energy increases by 100
-Allows the user to convert his energy into any form at a ratio of 1:1.
Harmony of Body:
-Increases the Base Physical Stats of the User by 150
-The Constitution to Health Ratio has been readjusted to 1:100.
-When the user exerts a pressure on any of his stats, he can increase that particular stat by 100% at the cost of 50% reduction of other 3 Stats.
Harmony of Mind:
-Base Wisdom of the user increases by 100
-All Energy/Wisdom Based skills of the User have their overall effect and duration increased by 100%. And their cooldown reduced by 50%.
Triple Harmony State:
Once every 30 Days, the user can attain an enhanced state, going beyond the normal realm. For 10 minutes, all the powers that the user have will be increased by a factor of 10, and the cooldown of all skills will be reduced to 0. ]
"…"
I rubbed my eyes trying to read the entire thing over again. And honestly, it was… broken. I already had all the three things at peak, but with this I don't even need to worry even if I were to face an S-Grade Monster.
'Still. I would rather not face it at all,' I shook my head before taking a proper look at my stats again. Even though it said that they have increased by 100 or 150. I saw that some of them were a bit more or a bit less than what they should have been.
"Did they get readjusted or something?" I mumbled as I checked the entire System once again. With this my basics are done, and I won't need to be worried about my combat prowess for the time being.
'So should I focus on my [Gift] Next?' I questioned as this seemed to be the most obvious choice next. I kind of wanted to find out what were the other 2 aspects that weren't in harmony right now but since I had no idea, I put it at the back of my mind.
Another reason I had was because of the wide area this tutorial had. If I try and push, I can actually map it enough to push the [Gift!] to [Upper Mortal Grade!].
'So the three aspects are done, and we can go for the [Gift!] as our next target. Other than that, there are my gears that I need to upgrade at least to A-Grade, and also get another one of my skills to S-Grade,' I calculated everything at once before reaching an obvious question.
What should be the next skill that I should improve? Something beyond the norm like Time powers, or something within my range like a skill that helps me achieve mastery of everything faster?
Limitless growth? Or a skill that gives me random stat? Or perhaps a skill that allows me to never get tired? Infinite stamina does sound nice… hmmm. This just got a bit complex.
I sighed as I cleared my mind first. Even though the ideas were fascinating I must not forget that I needed a skill that would go well with all my other skills. Choosing an individual skill will do more harm than good.
"Well," I then stretched a little as I observed my teammates sleeping soundly. A smile appeared on my face before I continued speaking," it won't be bad to first recollect everyone here. The Vampires are waiting-"
And as soon as I said that, I suddenly sensed a strange energy lingering in the air. A suffocating feeling surrounded my body as I found that foul energy coming from a direction outside the castle, from the forest itself.
'Seems like I won't have much rest tonight,' I thought as I sighed before vanishing from there. An unexpected guest has entered the city. It would be rude to not welcome her.
…
[Location: ????]
The same place where the two heavenly beings were present, their aura flickered as they observed the scene going on in the two worlds.
Since Seat 3 was now gone into a different dimension to take a break, they were observing Seat 11s movements. Though they were mostly bored since the enemy were a bunch of kids with barely any power.
They did not know the purpose of Seat 11 visiting there, but since they didn't have anything else to do, they could only watch her, wondering what she was doing at such a remote place.
"Ah! It's the place where I created a barrier for the people. I forgot about it since has been a long time," The man with golden white aura spoke as be observed the barrier before looking at the players inside the castle.
"Since it's your barrier, doesn't that means that the kids are just waiting to get slaughtered in there? Do you think that girl has some form of fetishes?" The woman in black aura asked as the man shook his head.
"I don't know. I guess it's bad luck," the man sighed.
"Since it's your barrier, can't you remove it? The kids should have an equal chance of fighting," the woman spoke empathetically, but the man shook his head as answered,
"I can't. I need to personally descend there to that and since we were asked not to interrupt them, there is nothing we can do."
The woman looked dejected at his response before she asked,
"How strong is the barrier? Any chance they can break it?"
"It's created by me, Geira. Unless someone strong enough to challenge a God appears, the barrier won't even budge-"
The man paused as he looked at the screen. His eyes observed the sudden change on that barrier with his widening a bit with confusion mixed in them.
"What happened?" Geira asked as he looked at the slightly alarmed face of the man, while he blankly kept staring at the gate of the castle while be answered,
"The Barrier… it was unlocked?"
And then he looked at the key he had in his inventory. The only thing that could possibly open that barrier without breaking it.
…
[Location: Just inside the South Gate of the city!]
[Seat 11's POV!]
I walked into the city as my eyes looked at the dead night, not even a single soul present around. Other than the castle which showed signs of life, everything else was pretty dead.
'Crowley. Lets see what you are hiding,' I thought as I took the first step towards the castle, enjoying the stroll in the dead of the night. Even though I needed to hurry, getting late by a few more minutes wasn't going to change anything in the plans.
Though my steps halted as I then felt a presence standing in front of me. My eyes narrowed as a man wearing black cloak and a black mask appeared in front of me.
His eyes closed, he walked towards me as he adjusted his gloves while he spoke,
"A young girl like you shouldn't walk this late at night."
Sensing that strange energy in his body, I felt a familiar sensation coming off from him. Even though he was much much weaker than him in comparison, this energy felt strangely familiar to him.
The Seat 2.
'Is this why it was difficult to trace him? Because of that strange energy on him? No. That does not makes sense… in the first place is he even the Crowley I am looking for,' I pondered before questioning him,
"Are you Crowley?"
He paused with a bit of a surprise on his face. Even though he had his eyes closed, I could feel him sensing my entire being.
'A skill that allows you to see in all directions? No wonder his eyes are closed. And given how he appeared out of nowhere… teleportation?' I found out two of his skills. Since he had just finished his tutorial, I think he should have one or two more unique skills. At most 3.
"I am. It seems I have fans I don't know of," he spoke with an amused smile before he reached about 20 meters ahead of me.
'Idiot!' I smiled widely as I reached closer to him in an instant, before grabbing his neck. Though… my hands passed through him as I sensed him appearing a few meters to the right of me.
"Quite a feisty one, I see," he said observing my movements. It's as if he could see through my entire being at once. A slight chill ran down my spine but it wasn't the first time I was up against such an opponent.
'A skill that shows enemies stats and an illusion based skill? That makes it 4. On their own, they won't be much of a prowess but together… it's going to be tricky,' I thought as I realized his fighting pattern.
Standing up properly I stretched before smiling. Seems like Seat 4's vision was right again. Even though I wasn't serious, to dodge my attack isn't an easy feat you can do with just luck.
"You have quite an interesting collection of skills. All right, you piqued my interest. How about a deal?"
He looked at me with a confused expression before asking,"Deal?"
"Yeah. One minute. Last against me for one minute and I will give you an offer you can never refuse."
I then cracked my fingers before preparing to test this guy. I think 2% of my power should be enough for now.
