Chapter 160: Ervas New Job Change

-----

"Will you finally change Jobs, Lord Ervas? It has only been a week and you are already changing again? Such a fast-paced progression!" said Lilith, as she sat down on the throne while Ervas sat on her thighs.

"That's due to the Divine Protections I have… However, even after changing Jobs faster, the increase in stats is not as much compared to others due to my still-developing body… At most, my Magic and Mana will increase fine, but the other stats increase too little, and well, I have taken a lot of support Jobs, so I cannot expect them to give great bonuses" said Ervas.

"I see, but you're such a hard worker, Lord Ervas! I am sure that whenever you reach puberty, your stats will skyrocket!" said Lilith.

"Hopefully…" said Ervas, as Lilith patted his white hair with black strands.

Despite having maxed the level of his Job, his Rank level had barely increased by a few levels, it seemed as if Ervas new evolutions had given him even more requirements for Experience Points than anyone else on his Rank.

"Drraaaaaa…" said Draconia, the Patchwork Zombie, sitting at Lilith's side, she had recently ranked up to a Rank 4 High Patchwork Zombie, but her appearance had not changed for the most part, aside from becoming slightly stronger and having her body parts better stuck together.

"Oh, Draconia, you remind me that I should develop into Surgery more… but not for now, as I need to select a fighting-oriented Job to go against Oggoth if possible," said Ervas, glancing at his available Job options.

[Jobs Available]

[Gray Wizard], [Magic Cannoneer], [Spiritual Alchemist], [Mana Crafter], [Life Demon Druid], [Hollow Demon General], [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], [Demon Beast King], [Soul Healer], [Spiritual No-Life Doctor] (New!), [Aberrant Abyssal Mind Flayer] (New!), [Tartarus Phantasmal Warrior] (New!)

"Hm… three new Jobs… 'Spiritual No-Life Doctor'? Could it be related to my Surgery Skill? Most likely… And the second one, 'Aberrant Abyssal Mind Flayer' sounds terrifying, am I really considered that? And lastly, the 'Tartarus Phantasmal Warrior' was most likely generated thanks to Veronica's influence in some way… But what bothers me is that I haven't gotten a Job such as 'Soul Breaker' that Veronica had… I have not broken enough Souls, perhaps… I really don't want to though, sigh…"

Ervas thought about the possibility of acquiring a job that could make his 'Soul Break' Skill stronger, but he did not want to break souls unless it was completely necessary, so he most likely was not capable of filling the quote necessary to unlock the Soul Breaker Job that Veronica has.

"Has Lord Ervas thought about destroying Souls again? Perhaps it would be for the best to do so, so Lord Ervas can grow stronger" said Lilith.

"Drraaaa… Draaaa?" asked Draconia with a cute yet dummy smile.

"Hmm… No, I do not want to, I will do things my way…" Ervas said with a firm demeanor.

"I see… Lord Ervas is truly an amazing man" said Lilith.

"Draaaaa…" said Draconia.

"I think you're exaggerating a bit… Well, I will choose this Job" Ervas said.

Ding!

[You changed Jobs to [Magic Cannoneer]!]

[You acquired the [Artillery Technique: Level 1] Skill!]

[The Levels of the [Artillery Technique: Level 1], [Chant Revocation; Level 5], [No-Attribute Magic; Level 6], and [Magic Fighting Technique; Level 1] Skills have increased!]

"Artillery Technique like Veronica… Now, this would be useful" thought Ervas, as he began to add his own Techniques into the new Skill he acquired.

Unlike Veronica who often used physical objects as projectiles, Ervas possessed the Telekinesis Skill, which let him use telekinetic energy as a force that could become even stronger than something physical.

"If I merge it with Mana Bullet from No-Attribute Magic then… Telekinesis Bullet" thought Ervas, pointing his finger to a Golem dummy he just created.

"Telekinesis Bullet," he said, as a sudden mass of formless and transparent energy converged into Ervas fingertip, firing towards the Golem dummy at incredible speeds, making it explode into pieces.

Boom!

"Ohhhh~! Ervas-sama! Such power!" said Lilith, praising Ervas with great fascination, almost religiously.

"It's nothing… I need to strengthen it so it can be strong enough to affect a God… I should be able to coat it with the effect of Soul Break… Though I need something more constant and powerful…"

Ervas then put his two arms together, pointing at the reconstructed golem dummy.

"Stronger… bigger… denser… Telekinesis Wave… no, Telekinesis… Cannon"

Suddenly, from within Ervas arms, a powerful blast of transparent telekinesis force broke through the wind itself as it rampaged through the golem dummy and then the entire building's wall, leaving a circular hole on it. The cannon then continued for several meters across the air, losing itself in the horizon.

"Oh…" muttered Ervas in surprise over his own power. 

By merging Artillery Technique, Telekinesis, and No-Attribute Magic, Ervas reached a new attack, that could be considered a Technique or a Spell. 

"That was… that was amazing, Ervas-sama!" praised Lilith.

"Draaaaaaaa! Draaa!" said Draconia, jumping out of her seat and imitating Ervas, she wanted to unleash a powerful cannon too.

"This… It was quite costly but strong…" said Ervas.

"How much Mana did it cost?" asked Lilith.

"That? …Fifty million" said Ervas.

"FIFTY MILLION?! I was right all along! Ervas-sama is a god, a god!" said Lilith while laughing, fascinated by Ervas ridiculousness.

"…Don't call me a god, please" muttered Ervas. 

Indeed, Ervas was a mortal completely out of this world, calling him a god wouldn't be so out of place.
