Chapter 147: A Lot of Job Changes!

-----

Ervas and Veronica decided to change Jobs as the delicious Wyvern stakes and skewers were very being made.

"Should I change into the Pharmacist Job? It would be useful to increase the efficacy of my Life Attribute Spirit Magic spells… and perhaps manage to improve medicine in the Kingdom… But also prioritizing a Job that can strengthen me could also be a better idea… especially whenever we go to confront Oggoth" thought Ervas, he hoped to be able to change Jobs again before finally going against Oggoth.

Although Ervas and Veronica could perfectly ignore Oggoth as he is sealed and then move away after a few months… they were unsure what kind of plans or tricks he had below his sleeve.

Because they possessed the ability to break souls and also their unique Souls, which were even compared to a Demon God by Ratatoskr, the two had already decided that they would kill Oggoth, or at least weaken him enough for him to not wake up again in a millennium.

[Jobs Available]

[Life Spirit Mage], [Spiritual Half-Demon], [Gray Wizard], [Magic Cannoneer], [Spiritual Alchemist], [Mana Crafter], [Life Demon Druid], [Hollow Demon General], [Life Spirit Pharmacist], [Artisan: Phantasmal Living Equipment], [Guardian of the Spiritual Forest], [Herald of Life and Death], [Living and Undead Progenitor], [Vicious Bloodsucking Phantasmal Demon], [Dead Spirit's Prince of Death], [Malevolent Inner Skeleton Manipulator], [Soul Healer] (New!), [Demon Beast King] (New!)

"Two new Jobs- A King Job already? Demon Beast King…? Wait, what is this…? And Soul Healer…" muttered Ervas, choosing to check both Jobs before anything else.

[Demon Beast King]

A Job unlocked by those recognized as the Beast King by an enormous amount of beast-people from varied tribes (three at minimum) and also by being recognized as the sovereign of Demons by an equal or larger amount of people.

This Job increases the levels of several skills related to commanding and strengthening others.

This Job has no particular increase in stats, giving a bit of everything.

"This is because of my Beast King titles… Squirrel-kin, Rabbit-kin, and Raccoon-kin… but about the Demons? There are no Demons in here, right? Unless… could my fallen people be considered as the Demons that recognize me as the governor?" wondered Ervas.

Ervas fell into a bit of silence as he thought about how little he deserved such a title about everything that happened in his previous life when he and Veronica were one as Anastacia.

"…I might take this Job, it does seem useful, but what about Soul Healer?"

[Soul Healer]

A Job unlocked by those that are capable of healing souls or repair them by a bit. Dead Spirits who are in pain or agony are also included in such healings. This Job covers the whole spectrum of the healing of the soul, both in mind and in their pure state.

Those that are capable of soothing the souls of the fallen are true Soul Healers.

This Job increases the level of skills related to healing.

This Job increases Mana and Magic by a small amount.

"Just what I suspected… but it seems to be related purely with souls, I don't think I can heal bodies with this or physical flesh… nonetheless it still very useful. There are many interesting and useful Jobs, it is always a hassle to choose one when I can make use of most of them in some way" thought Ervas.

"Perhaps instead of going for the Pharmacist, I should try to clean the easier Jobs, I'm sure that they can be leveled in a few days, unlike the newest ones that take weeks…" thought Ervas.

[You changed Jobs to [Life Spirit Mage]!]

[The Levels of [Spirit Magic; Level 6], [Increased Mana Recovery Rate; Level 4], and [Vegetation Charm; Level 3] Skills have increased!]

"This should be leveled quite fast…" said Ervas, as Gaia appeared atop his head, feeling herself growing stronger through Ervas Spirit Magic reaching Level 7.

"Did I ever reach such a high level in my Spirit Magic Skill in such a small amount of time in my previous life? Perhaps the Divine Protections are helping my progression immensely… three Divine Protections is a lot after all" thought Ervas. 

Gaia, who had the appearance of an adorable branch with several leaves on top, which was also covered in a bright brown bark was dancing through the air while using Ervas Mana to release it everywhere around the Devil Forest… Ervas influence grew deeper and deeper within the vegetation of this place, it was slowly becoming his domain.

And thanks to such an act, that only him can achieve due to his Mana amount, something happened…

Ding!

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[User's Job has reached Level 100!]

"Hm? Why? Haah, this happened before… Could have Gaia done this?" wondered Ervas, glancing at the cute Gaia refining his mana and sharing it everywhere.

"Ervas! It feels so nice!" said Gaia.

"I'm glad you're happy… Anyways, I should change Jobs again, I suppose" said Ervas, choosing a new Job.

[You changed Jobs to [Spiritual Half-Demon]!]

[You acquired the [Out-of-Body-Experience; Level 1] Skill!]

"No Skills leveled up… but I got a new skill… Let us try it out, I think I am guessing what it is about…"

In the middle of his family chatting around, Ervas used his newly acquired Skill and felt that his consciousness was somehow slightly divided.

Then, another of 'himself' appeared in front of his sight, it looked exactly like him, even in the tiny set of clothes that Ervas was wearing, which resembled the style of clothing from the Squirrel-kin… but instead of being made of flesh, it was made out of phantom, resembling a ghost version of himself.

"I guess that's it," said the Phantom Ervas.

"Yeah… aren't we like Veronica now?" asked Ervas physical body.

"Not really, her powers are way different," said the Phantom Ervas.

"Hey, what if I do this?" thought Ervas, as he created many Phantom Clones of himself through this skill, up to fifty… each clone cost around ten thousand Mana, and two thousand mana per minute to maintain, the moment he reached fifty, he had spent roughly 20 million Mana.

"I think I could go for a bit more…" muttered Ervas.

"Uwaaah! So many Ervas!" said Amelia, glancing at the Phantom Ervas walking around and glancing at people.

"It's like we all can have one for ourselves now!" said Lilith, grabbing her own Ervas to cuddle, her sisters followed her actions as well.

"Hey, isn't this problematic? Where is the originality of my powers now?" said Veronica.

"Don't worry, you're still pretty awesome" said Ervas.

"That's a relief…" muttered Veronica.

Ding!

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[User's Job has reached Level 100!]

"So this one leveled up by repeatedly using the skill? Well, I am not complaining… let us change Jobs again, perhaps this might be the last" thought Ervas.

Because Ervas had a ridiculous amount of Mana, he was able to repeat the use of skill many times until the Job centered around it leveled up to the max level… of course, this only worked with weak and lesser Jobs, as the newest ones needed him to defeat monsters of equal strength to himself… as long as the Jobs were not battle-oriented, there was the possibility of leveling them up in this way, which could only be considered to be cheating.

"I guess I'm satisfied with this now… I do not think the other Jobs can be leveled up this fast. Especially those like the Spiritual Alchemist or the Artisan, at the very least I would need to practice Alchemy or Crafting in closed doors for several hours, I presume. Let's settle down with the original plan for now," thought Ervas, choosing the Job that he intended to change into from the beginning.

[You changed Jobs to [Life Spirit Pharmacist]!]

[The Levels of the [Rapid Healing; Level 4] and [Abnormal Status Resistance; Level 5] Skills have increased!]

[You acquired the [Pharmacist; Level 1], and [Healing Touch; Level 1] Skills!]

"Healing Touch? Pharmacist… I remember this one existing, it was a rare skill that some Alchemist well versed in the creation of medicine had, but Healing Touch…?"

Ervas then touched Veronica with one of his Phantom Clones and used Healing Touch on her.

"Hm? Ervas?"

Veronica felt a large amount of Life pulsing through her being, it was a bit painful.

"Wait for a second Ervas, you're exorcising me!" shouted Veronica as she felt that the Life infused into her was beginning to burn into her soul.

"Ah, sorry," said Ervas.

"What is that skill?!" asked Veronica.

"It named Healing Touch, I guess it is a healing skill, but Life Attribute Magic healing spells don't work in beings without flesh like you or ghosts, so they instead give you 'Life' which you lack, as you're shrouded in Death Attribute Mana, dealing damage instead… this could be useful in some ways," said Ervas.

"Just how many Jobs changes you had?!" asked Veronica.

"Three…" said Ervas.

"THREE?!"

Veronica hoped to be able to change Jobs as fast as Ervas, as she glanced at her available Jobs.
