Chapter 253 - Alchemy

After calming Silvia down, Shiro had her focus on her class up.

"First, I want a replacement. You said that you had a second bracelet." Silvia pouted.

"I lied.

"Nooooo!!!!!!"

###

After calming her down for a second time, she finally upgraded her class.

Motes of light started to fill the room as they surged towards Silvia. Wrapping around her body, they shrouded her figure.

Feeling the mana being gather towards Silvia, Shiro backed off a little and wondered what kind of class she would get for her to experience such a phenomenon when classing up. While it couldn't be compared to her triple S ranked class up, it was still more violent than the average class up.

*BOOM!!!!!

A pillar of light erupted out from Silvia as a soft orchestral echo could be heard.

[Silvia LVL 51 Healing Saint]

'Healing Saint? I've never heard of this class.' Shiro thought to herself in surprise.

As the light died down, they saw Silvia standing there with her eyes closed.

Her appearance had changed slightly as her hair shifted to a turquoise colour that was mixed with white. Her features had been refined while her bosom stayed the same, thankfully.

Opening her eyes, the group could see a pair of beautiful golden irises that looked back at them.

"Erm… I got an A ranked class. Apparently, I fulfilled some hidden conditions and unlocked this class." Silvia smiled.

"Heh~ Congrats Silvi. I wonder if I'll get a hidden class again haha." Madison laughed and congratulated her.

"Congratulations." Lyrica followed up with a smile.

"What skills do you have?" Shiro asked.

"Aren't you supposed to congratulate me first?" Silvia's lips twitched slightly.

"Congratulations?  Anyhow, what skills did you get?" Shiro raised an eyebrow.

"Urg, straight to the point as usual." Silvia sighed.

"All of my skills have been enhanced and I've gained two new skills. The first skill that I got is a healing skill touch of grace. When activated, I can rewind all the damage you received in the last 5 seconds. In addition to this, you'll also gain a shield that's proportionate to 50% of your total health." Silvia explained.

"Hou~ Let's give it a try." Shiro said as they furrowed their brows in concern.

"What do you mean?" They asked.

"I mean this." She smiled.

*CRACK!!!!

Hitting her shoulder, she sent force through her left arm and shattered all of the bones.

"Now give your skill a go."

"!%$£!^%$!!! Why did you shatter your arm!!!!" Silvia cried out in shock and quickly activated her skill.

A golden radiance wrapped around Shiro's arm and reverted it back to what it was like 5 seconds ago.

"Hm… not bad. The activation time's pretty good too. What's the cool down?" Shiro asked nonchalantly. It was as if she hadn't just shattered her left arm without a thought.

"20 seconds. But goodness, doesn't it hurt to shatter your arm?!" Silvia replied, suppressing the urge to smack Shiro on the head.

"Not really. My pain tolerance is quite amazing you know? Plus, even if the skill didn't work as we expected, I still have my life fire to heal me." Shiro chuckled and summoned out a spark of Life Fire.

"Even so!"

"Hmm… by the way Shiro, you must remember to hide the life fire when the elves come. They would do everything they could to take it away from you." Lyrica reminded with concern.

"Haha, don't worry. I know what I should and shouldn't do." Shiro waved her hand dismissively.

"As if. In your mind, what you should do is probably pierce them and end them when no one is looking." Lyrica rolled her eyes.

Shiro said nothing.

"Hais… anyways, second skill is a buff skill. It's called Limit Break Aura. Basically, it increases your best stat by 40% for 1 minute. No backlash. The best part is, I can stack this together with my Berserker Enhancement." Silvia smiled and gave them a victory sign with her fingers.

"Heh~ So two stacks of berserk without actually using your skills. Interesting…" Shiro nodded her head with appreciation.

"Since that's the case, why don't we test this out as well? I'll see how high my INT can go." She suggested.

"Alright. What's your current number?" Silvia asked.

"Hmm… with all of my passives and set bonuses included, I have 44,550 points in my INT stat.

"PFFFF!!!!" All three of them widened their eyes in disbelief.

"You have 44 thousand points in ONE stat!?" Silvia asked.

"Yeah. I do have a triple S class after all. The passive point gain per level up along with usable points will naturally be higher than the average class." Shiro explained, not understanding why this was so shocking. If they knew of her point gain when she was in her old world, they'd be scared stiff.

"What about your lowest stat?" Madison asked as the corner of her lips twitched in shock.

"That would be my defence stat. I only have 10 k points in that area."

"10 thousand points in your weakest stat. Oh my word…" Silvia muttered as she understood that she shouldn't even be surprised anymore.

"Well here goes." She sighed and twirled her staff. Slamming it into the ground, she activated all of her buff skills onto Shiro. With a mix of the Six fold enhancement, Berserker enhancement, Limit break aura and her other skills, Shiro's INT stat was able to reach an astounding 68,250!

Not only that, but due to the effects of her monster title, her 68k worth of INT points was equal to around 136k!

Such an amount was simply inconceivable for a level 60 to possess.

"What's your INT now?" Silvia asked.

"Around 68 thousand points." Shiro replied while clenching her firsts. She could feel the mana coursing through her body and vitalising every part of her. Even Nimue, who was residing in her mana real, was basking in the feeling of being flooded by such an incredible amount of mana.

"Un, as I thought, having a support class is a must." Shiro smiled in satisfaction.

"Anyways, since Silvia has classed up, we'll leave the dungeon. You three will spend the next two days doing C classed dungeons to try to increase Silvia's level while I go get the items that you need for your class ups ok?" She suggested.

"That's fine with me." Lyrica nodded.

After finding a suitable dungeon for the three of them, Shiro made her way back to her room. During this, she sent Chen Yu a message regarding the items that she needed.

His response was as follows.

[Chen Yu: I'll tell the branch master to include it in your shipment. By the way, he had found something that will help you hide your identity in the elven continent. But, while it is powerful in terms of hiding your stats, he said that you should still be cautious.]

[Shiro: Don't worry about it. How much do I need to pay?]

[Chen Yu: Branch master said that you can just think of it as extra rewards for being able to complete the previous task amazingly.]

[Shiro: Heh, boot licker.]

[Chen Yu: Please don't be like that. My life depends on how you treat him.]

[Shiro: Hou hou, so if I treated you better, he wouldn't kill you then? (Grin)]

[Chen Yu: . . .You know that it will only accelerate my death. Spare me please.]

[Shiro: Nope~ Good luck surviving B*stard Tian, Lil Chen ♡]

Chuckling softly, she put the phone away and ignored his messages of protest.

Arriving in her room, she set out the materials that she had bought from the auction house.

To make the Crystallised Demon Essence, she needed to fuse Demon cores, Corrupted Essence, Crystallising Agent, Demonic Plume and Demon's Blood through alchemy.

Flexing her fingers, a Nanotech alchemy table appeared in front of her. There were countless engravings and runes on the surface of the table as she traced her fingers over one of the runes.

*Vrrrrr

A low hum could be heard as the magic circles slowly lit up with a soft glow.

Placing the Demon Cores in the centre of the table, she set the Corrupted Essence along the first ring of runes. Flexing her fingers, she controlled her mana to grab hold of the other materials. She couldn't fuse them all at once after all.

If she did, she'll just be courting death.

Taking a deep breath, she activated the fusion process.

*BOOM!!!

Mana surged around her room as lightning flickered off the core. Melting the corrupted essence into liquid form, it wrapped around the core and started to solidify.

While this was happening, she recreated the formation once again but replaced the core and essence with the Demonic Plume and Demon Blood.

Flicking her wrist, the fusion was almost done instantaneously as it was almost flawless. Due to her high degree of control over mana, Alchemy was a walk in the park for her. Naturally, that was limited to the simple to intermediate items. High tier items would need a lot more time and dedication.

Looking at the two Tier 2 materials that were floating on the table, she pushed them towards each other and used the crystallising agent as a catalyst for the fusion.

*TZZZ!!!!!

A blinding light filled her vision as she was able to complete the item in one go. A black orb sat on the table as the surface was engraved with feather marks that seemed to have blood pumping through the lines.

[Crystallised Demonic Essence]
