Chapter 146 - Ashton's Stats

Once Kevin had finished his lunch, he went back to the living room still bringing his baby phoenix with him, and he took the opportunity to change the lava stones which had started to turn black one after the other.

And after making sure his baby phoenix was warm, bundled up in his blanket and surrounded by brightly colored lava stones, he decided to open his System's holographic screen and chose the Store menu.

All he had to do was buying some Lightning Talisman papers large size and he would start to meditate and fill them out.

[ STORE ]

Lightning Talisman paper small size blank : can hold up to 2 000 particles, cost 20 gold coins.

Lightning Talisman paper medium size blank : can hold up to 5 000 particles, cost 100 gold coins.

Lightning Talisman paper large size blank : can hold up to 10 000 particles, cost 200 gold coins.

Choose the size and the quantity you want.

Kevin needed 600 000 lightning particles, so he decided to buy directly the 60 Lightning Talisman papers large size he would need to achieve his goal.

It only cost him 12 000 gold and a magic bag appeared in his hand right after the transaction. When he looked inside, he saw the 60 Lightning Talisman papers and he pulled out 3 of them.

He placed them in front of him and thought that he was probably a little too optimistic but since he had no idea how long he would need to finish filling one, it was better to plan more than not enough.

Besides, it was going to be the first time he would meditate with this new magical crystal, and with the amount of particles he had seen the last time with Alan, his results would surely be much better than before.

Kevin sat cross-legged and forced himself to calm his excitement. After a few breaths he felt calm again and immediately went into meditation.

He immediately saw, or at least guessed, that it was the phoenix egg in front of him with the black hole above it which absorbed the fire and light particles continuously, and he could also see the lava stones which were shoning in circle around it.

The particles of all the colors had already started to appear from everywhere, and when he looked down he saw 3 silver rectangle that could only be his Lightning Talisman papers.

He then only focused on the silver particles, and as they became more and more numerous, the others particles moved away from him as if to make way for the silver ones.

It was something strange and unexpected, like the particles that were in the spiritual energy had understood what he needed and were helping him in their own way.

He did several things before beginning to introduce the particles into the Lightning Talisman papers.

He used his perception skill and immediately a notification appeared above each of the Talisman papers.

[ ITEM ]

Lightning Talisman paper, large size : 0 / 10 000

This would let him know how many particles he would still have to put inside to complete it.

And, a chronometer also appeared in front of him, so he would be able to know how long he needed to fill one of them.

Once everything was ready he focused on the lightning particles and directed them directly to the first Talisman paper.

And, as he had seen previously from Alan's demonstration, the particles were like sucked into the Talisman paper and the number of particles in the notification slowly began to increase.

He couldn't believe the number of lightning particles he was able to see, maybe 10 times more than before, it was incredible.

He needed one hour and half to complete his first Lightning Talisman paper, and so, he stopped when he finished filling out the second one.

Tonight he would take the time to check his Stats as right now he had only fulfilled his daily quest for Strengthen his Soul force, and he still had to do his 3 hours of fighting to fulfill his quest for Strengthen his body.

Without counting the fact that he might have time to craft other potions before Axel gets home and so he would be able to gain more experience and Soul force points, so it was better to wait until the end of the day to do it.

Kevin stretched and got up, this afternoon was going to be awesome he was sure of it, and when he saw that it was already 3.10pm he hurried over to the training ground number 8 where he was supposed to meet Alan and Ashton, and which was the one reserved for mages who wanted to learn how to fight.

When Kevin finally arrived, Ashton was already there, he was dressed in sports suit and it was obvious that he was waiting for him at the entrance with great impatience.

As he joined him he activated his perception skill and his Stats immediately appeared above him.

[ STATS ]

Name : ASHTON

Race : Human

Level 25

Class : Mage

Exp : 4 350 / 5 000

Strength : 25

Stamina : 55

[ EQUIPPED ITEMS ]

Ring : high grade

Bracelet : high grade

Kevin was completely taken aback by his Stats, how could that be possible ?

The Strength and Agility points were okay, and he could easily find an explanation for them, as he had assumed he had gotten them mostly by leveling up.

His Stamina points were high comparing to the others but maybe Ashton liked to run and this could be explained by this, but for his Soul force and perception points, he had really no idea how it could be possible.

Ashton was only 18, he had told him that he had started his apprenticeship early and that he could already craft medium grade potions but still, his Soul force points were really very high, damn he thought, how many potions he must have crafted to get to this point, it was creepy.

And as for his perception points it remained a real mystery for him, he could only gain them thanks to the rewards of his System when he looted a dungeon, or items that had Stats, but Ashton had to get them using another way.

He was definitely a very surprising person and he was eager to see how quickly he would be able to assimilate his training.

Kevin greeted him and immediately asked him : "Before we start, I would like to know if you have ever did some workout or stretching exercices before ?"

Ashton looked at him a little embarrassed and confessed : "I love to run but other than this I have never done any exercise, is that a problem ?"

Kevin laughed heartily and then said : "I can teach you how to fight, but if you don't strengthen your body it won't be of much use to you."
