Chapter 247: [A Mountain of War and Death] 32/?: Ervas Job Changes 2

-----

"Did you maxed the Job?" asked Veronica in between chuckles, she knew exactly why Ervas suddenly killed a poor dragon flying in the sky, whose soul had suddenly appeared near them with puppy eyes… he was really bothering no one, so Ervas felt a bit guilty about it and asked for its forgiveness.

"Yes, it maxed out… And sorry about that… Haah, I should not feel this guilt, but if the spirit itself comes to me like this…" muttered Ervas as he glanced at the enormous soul of the Lesser Windstorm Dragon.

"Growl…"

Although the dead spirit of the Lesser Windstorm Dragon was already charmed, it was still quite sad, Ervas wanted to amend for it but he was rather busy for now…

Then, behind Ervas, Legion appeared.

"Come with me… become one with me… so we can serve Ervas-sama and Veronica-sama for eternity…" it said with enticing words, using its strange Skills, the dead spirit of the lesser dragon felt attracted to Legion, and 'willingly' became one with him, slightly giving a small powerup to Legion, who had merged with many dragon souls already.

"Oh damn, I guess it wasn't that much of a deal," chuckled Veronica.

"Well, that was rather quick… I guess I don't need to apologize any longer?" thought Ervas, as he changed into his next Job.

[You changed Jobs to [Spiritual Alchemist]!]

[The Levels of the [Crafting; Level 3], [Butcher; Level 3], [Cooking; Level 3], [Alchemy; Level 3], and [Pharmacist; Level 4] Skills have increased!]

"Hm…? Why did Crafting, Butcher, and Cooking level up as well? Does this Job encompass more than Alchemy? Well, I can kind of understand Pharmacy as it uses some of the principles of alchemy… but still… Ah, well, whatever… How can I level up this- Oh…" Ervas thought.

Ervas suddenly opened a small accessory he had that was made through Veronica's body and her Space Expansion Skill, such items were often called 'Inventory Accessories', and recently, Veronica had found a way to create them without them having to necessarily hold into her consciousness, by simply leaving a small piece of her soul without any mind inside of them. Veronica's soul regenerated very quickly, so such 'damage' was virtually nothing for her.

Taking out of the accessory, Ervas took out a few herbs, medicinal herbs that were recently processed by him, such herbs were made by Gwendolyn and the rest of her sisters. Such herbs were often processed several times by alchemists to be converted into Mana or Health Potions.

Ervas took a flask as he began to squeeze the processed herbs, while activating the Alchemy Skill repeatedly, infusing millions of Mana into the task.

Flash!

The herbs suddenly changed, they began to dry out completely as the juices within them were completely extracted, a dark blue liquid fell into the flask, as the dried-out herbs dissipated with the wind of the night.

Usually, this was the method to create potions, by constantly using the Alchemy Skill into the desired materials until the desired extract or concoction could be produced… thing is, this process would often take over a month for a very advanced alchemist, or over half a year for a novice.

However, Ervas compensated for the lack of mastery and time with sheer Mana, doing everything almost instantly.

"Huh? You made a Mana Potion?" asked Veronica.

"Hm, done…" said Ervas as he nodded.

Ding!

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[User's Job has reached Level 100!]

"It is an Alchemist Job, so doing something that an alchemist does should level it up…" thought Ervas, as he quickly changed Jobs yet again.

Ding!

[You changed Jobs to [Mana Crafter]!]

[You acquired the [Mana Craft: Level 1] Skill!]

[The Levels of the [Mana Craft: Level 1], [Crafting; Level 4], [Artillery Technique: Level 3], [Mana Control; Level 7]

"Mana Craft…" thought Ervas, glancing at the new Skill's description.

[Mana Craft]

The Ability to craft intricate Mana Constructions, a power only acquired by God-like beings.

Other Skills and knowledge are required for the creation of Mana Constructions.

To create a Mana Construction, simply will it while infusing the required amount of Mana.

"This… a power that only God-like beings have?! Ah, no way… But… since I got the Skill and it leveled up that my mind seems to instinctively know what to do… strange. Well, let us give it a try. Something simple… How about a Mana Construct that produces a barrier?" said Ervas.

"Hm? What amazing thing did you get now?" asked Veronica.

"Just watch…" said Ervas.

He waved his arms as many magic circles emerged from within his infused Mana. Each magic circle seemed like a complicated puzzle, which he slowly set together with one by one, each one seemed to glow as they converged, as if the puzzle were slowly getting 'whole'.

"And now… a purpose and another seal," said Ervas, he once again waved his hand into the magic construct as the symbol of what seemed to be a 'barrier' emerged within the center of the intricate construction.

Flash!

Suddenly, a barrier was generated, seemingly resembling more of a forcefield.

"Hm, this surely takes its time to make, but if I manage to merge it with Telekinesis and other spells, the results can be amazing…" thought Ervas.

"Oh?! Is that… A Magical Construct?! Unbelievable… not even I can do that crazy stuff!" said Veronica.

"I believe that you should be able to learn it soon enough," said Ervas.

Ding!

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[User's Job has reached Level 100!]

"And done with this one…" said Ervas with a mild smile, as he did not waste any second and immediately went for the next Job change after dissipating the force field he made through the Mana Craft Skill.

Ding!

[You changed Jobs to [Life Demon Druid]!]

[The Levels of the [Life Drain; Level 6], [Spirit Magic; Level 7], [Plant Binding Technique: Level 3], [Botanist; Level 8], and [Vegetation Charm; Level 5] Skills have increased!]

"Botanist is level nine already… The Plants will just keep getting stronger…" thought Ervas, as he suddenly released his entire aura through Life Attribute Mana Waves through the entire peak of the mountain, covering the nearby forest and even embracing the fauna around.

Flash!

Suddenly, every plant felt reinvigorated, and the damage dealt into the soil through the purple dirt of the graveyards where the Undead emerged from was quickly healed, the forests were once more back to a healthy condition.

Ding!

[Experience Points have reached the required level!]

[User's Job has reached Level 100!]

"Good…" said Ervas.

"You… how many Jobs already?" asked Veronica.

"Four!" said Ervas.

"Four?! You little boy…!" said Veronica with a bit of jealously.

"Fufu, how does it feel?" asked Ervas with a slightly smug face.

"Eh?! Where did you learn to do that smug face?! Ah… is this some kind of grudge?" asked Veronica.

"N-No…" muttered Ervas as he averted his gaze and changed Jobs for the last time for tonight.

"I should pick a job that can give me some immediate strength… But going for physical strength would not be that good, even if I have developed it a lot, it still quite subpar. It would be better to concentrate on my specialization for now until I can grow more and develop my muscles," thought Ervas.

Ding!

[You changed Jobs to [Telekinesis Overlord]!]

[The Levels of the [No-Attribute Magic; Level 8], [Telekinesis; Level 6], [Surpass Limits; Telekinesis; Level 6], [Mana Craft: Level 2], [Surpass Limits; Mana Usage; Level 5], and [Magic Fighting Technique; Level 3] Skills have increased!]

"Hm, this was a substantial increase in my power… god enough for a new Job," said Ervas, as he glanced at his status.

<Skill Explanations>

[Beast Transformation]

A Skill acquired rarely by Beast-kin Races and some other Demon Races, it grants the user the ability to transform into an anthropomorphic beast.

Although this Beast Appearance can vastly differ from each individual and user of this Skill, in the case of Ervas, he can turn into a werewolf-like pup.

However, there have been other cases registered where Demon races such as Dragonoid/Dragon-kin were able to transform into bipedal dragons, or even wyverns of sorts, and in the case of races such as Arachne, they could turn into gigantic spiders, amongst other rare cases.

It is believed that the Beast Transformation Skill could be manipulated to create the user's ideal beast form depending on its capabilities and race, but this has not been confirmed yet.
