Chapter 692 Domain

Ilea switched to her third class and selected Fires of Creation. Aw man, all those collected Core points gone in a few minutes.

‘ding’ ‘Fires of Creation [Enhanced] reaches 3rd lvl 1

Active – Fires of Creation [Enhanced] – 3rd lvl 1

As if I needed even more sustain, Ilea thought and laughed.

“What did you unlock?” the Meadow asked.

“Health and mana steal with the Fires of Creation,” she said with a smug expression.

“Oh? You didn’t have that already? Well, you did just get your evolution,” the being said.

It’s joking. Just ignore it. You’re a powerful goddess, Ilea, she reminded herself and went to upgrade her last skill with her remaining eight Core points when another message popped up.

‘ding’ ‘Following requirements have been met. Has reached level 500 in three Classes as a human. Has enhanced a total of at least fifteen Class skills with a minimum of one skill in each Class.

Additional options have been unlocked

Core Skill Points available: 8

[3rd tier Class Skill Point]

Oh? What’s that.

[Add Class Modifier] – [Add a random additional Class modifier to an existing Class - Cost: 10]

As in… like a universal body enhancement bonus or something like that? Damn… that’s pretty fucking good. Or well… it would be, if it wasn’t random. Could be a bonus to Flesh Magic or maybe just a stat bonus? Who knows.

“Just got the ability to add class modifiers with Core points,” she said.

“I see. How much does it cost?” the Meadow asked.

“Ten points, and it adds a random bonus,” she answered.

“Good. Though I suggest you focus on enhancements first,” it informed her.

“I think so too. With it being random it might even be worth a thought to invest in stat points instead. Ten points is quite a lot,” she mused and enhanced the last skill on her list. But I guess an additional class bonus could be insanely good too. Like literally becoming an immortal.

‘ding’ ‘Space Manipulation [Enhanced] reaches 3rd lvl 1

Passive – Space Manipulation [Enhanced] – 3rd lvl 1

A charge hmm? Only for simple attempts. Gonna have to test that out thoroughly.

“Alright, I think that’s it… three core points left and a whole lot of new things to figure out,” she mused and stood up. “You don’t mind if I throw a bunch of stuff at you, right?”

“You’re not quite at the level of power where I would notice,” the Meadow informed.

“Because you’re a healer too,” she sent with a smile and burst into white flame.

Archon Strike charged before she switched into a stance and punched the air in front of her. A wave of near white turquoise energy burst from her fist, sizzling the black grass before it washed over the crystal trunk of the tree.

She repeated the spell, this time without her flames. The wave of blue arcane energy flowed past the being.

“Healing with your fists. And here I thought you couldn’t solve all your problems with punches,” the Meadow said.

Ilea shook her head. “You’re being ridiculous. I can kick too.”

Her lava, earth, and ice magic formed above her palm, the elements glowing in her magic perception with a noticeable increase in power. The dominion bonus is good for these too, she thought and moved the formed spheres with her space manipulation instead. Her control felt smooth, but her space skill had been reset to the first level in the third tier. I think it’s affected, but the skill definitely took a hit from the reset.

She charged up her space manipulation with a rather sizable amount of mana before she tried to do something with it. Moving the elemental spheres with the charged power didn’t seem to work, the limits of the added bonus instinctive as she considered the possibilities. I think I could use it to crush the tree… not that it would even notice. A push or pull seems possible too.

Ilea decided on the push and simply held up her palm towards the Meadow. A gust of wind flowed past the creature, or so it seemed, until the stone wall around sixty meters behind it shook. Ilea had her eyes opened wide, having seen the wave within her dominion.

“How very forceful. Little nuance in that use,” the Meadow said.

“Did you fucking see that?” Ilea asked, a smile blooming on her face.

“Yes. I suppose someone who enjoys punching a lot would like such a barbaric approach to space magic,” it spoke.

“Exactly,” Ilea confirmed. The charge does take a while I suppose. She formed a set of lava, ice, and earth spheres before she tested her charged manipulation a little more. The simple part in the description limited her use quite a bit but considering the power involved, she couldn’t really see it working any other way.

The wave of space magic she had summoned worked in various variations. From above to crush anything below, from the side to sweep enemies of their feet, or even from the ground up. She tried forming invisible spears or spheres with the magic but failed to keep them contained, the effect simply a smaller wave in the end. A strong pull or push focused on frameworks in a certain space worked too but with the charged power she couldn’t exactly select what to hit. So she simply pulled or pushed everything in the affected area. Compared to the wave, the damaging aspect was much lower but she assumed it could be used to throw even a large monster off balance.

The last use she tested was what she named the fruit press. It was the only way she could use her charged space manipulation in a focused manner against a single framework or even a smaller part of one. The word focused being used very liberally in this case. Anything around it would likely not be affected, but the chaotic overcharged nature of the spell simply squeezed something from all around. At some point something gave. So far she only tested it against her own elements but she could imagine what it would do to a living creature. It was really quite horrific, even for her. Ilea couldn’t wait to use it in battle.

“At what point do I talk to you about morals and the corrupting ways of power?” the Meadow asked.
