Chapter 59: Level: 100

Chapter 59: Level: 100

I could certainly use new clothes right now, but it better be magic items or I swear Im never doing a damned bonus task again. Well. It wasnt the hard part of the trial but still.

Sofia closed the blinds and locked the door. The night was cold in the cabin, she fed two more logs to the fireplace, it was the only source of heat and light.

Should I get naked? she wondered out loud, reminiscing over what Drakrons guildmaster had taught them. The process of leveling up through a filter was very painful as it involved the system forcing your whole body to upgrade at once. Usually a level up was a simple gradual tempering of the body, when this reached its limit the system would be unable to upgrade you anymore without a complete and intricate overhaul of your body. No matter if you were a Human or a Dragon, everyone would need to go through it.

This whole thing sounded a lot like it would go better without clothes getting in the way. Also she only had that one set of pajamas and she actually liked them. Wouldnt want to ruin them, its already kinda tight, they might rip if I move too much.

There was no one to see her here anyway.

She waited on the bed.

Everythings going to be alright. Cant be worse than a demonic rebirth. For sure.

[Initiating level up past filter 2, please do your best to stay still]

[As an affiliated Saint, you have access to the customizable upgrade sub-system]

[You may not divulge any information about this sub-system or its existence]

[Calculating optimal path]

[No class evolution available]

[No race evolution available]

[Trial evaluation for upgrade potential : Max]

[Your allocated upgrade score is : 6000 stat points]

[You may now allocate your points]

Hoy didnt Kuli say we get around three thousand points evenly split between all stats?! Being a Saint isnt all that bad in times like this, uh. Now how to split that.

Obviously not a single point goes to my mana. Three thousand each for Health and Stam? Do I need that much stamina? Im just throwing lightning and controlling Pareth in fights Ah but the emergency demon form would be better with more Stam I guess. Orvods cubes hit me for six thousand back then so Id feel safer if I could survive at least one and not be incapacitated. Dont want to end up like Fox... But I'm missing a little bit for that unless I go all in with HP. I suppose five thousand to Health and one thousand to Stamina should be good enough.

If I compare it to another class I know well A level 100 paladins base health should be 5000 if I counted correctly, plus a third of about 3000 points from this. So this means a level 100 paladin normally has around 6000 health?

I'm about as tough as a paladin now!

[Allocation complete, closing sub-system]

[WARNING: due to the Pristine essence passive, you will not receive any pain reduction]

Great, exactly what I needed That's already the second time this happens...

As she laid still on the bed, mana gathered around her. The mist of mana that her new skill barely allowed her to see roused up, more mana gathered by the second, becoming thicker and denser. The air was so heavy and charged in mana in a tight sphere around her, it reminded her of being underwater. Using the feel of her own 44000 mana points as a reference, what gathered around her was numbering in the hundreds of millions of mana points. That was much more than what the Angel's last attack in the trial had gathered, so seeing such an amount was worrying. The no pain reduction warning was starting to look very scary.

It had appeared on the table at some point, a cubic wooden box labeled Aurelias serene scenery. It contained a long pastel light green robe with matching underwear, a pair of long gloves that reached up to her biceps, and fancy city style boots. As the name implied, it was worthy of a Princess, and if you looked hard enough, you could make out the barely visible scene of a lush forest sewn in the fabric. One of Aurelias paintings, Sofia recognized her signature style. The pieces were all comfortable and perfectly fitted to her size.

Is it some kind of silk? she wondered, it was without a doubt the softest and most luxurious fabric she had ever worn, unblemished and crease-less, almost weightless. She wanted to properly savor the result of her efforts, this was what she had earned. She twirled around. Unable to contain her excitement any longer, she blasted some [Identify]s.

Current set effect (4): The weather doesnt faze you, temperature is but a number, be it in the desert or the icy plains, these clothes will make you feel as if youre taking a stroll in the most serene of forests, up to a certain point.

These clothes cannot be fully destroyed.

These clothes will consume the wearer's mana to self clean, repair and repel both fire and water.

Okay I like it, though it is weird to think that I will only be wearing this at all times in the future. But unless I find better Either way, its all great effects. No heat, no cold, no cleaning! And they repair themselves even? Id probably find it hard to go back to wearing anything else after using that! Well, it already feels weird to wear anything at all now after going around as a naked demon for a while. Arguably the demon form is better than these clothes. Im back to the human race now anyway, not doing the ritual again.

That was absolutely worth the trouble of doing the extra task. Ten times over.

Now! The skills!
