Destruction points, huh? I wonder how exactly it works.

Anyway, it seems that blood from Ice-Elemental Danger Beast wasn't just for a show.

I thought and extended my arm in front of me with my palm facing the ground. I closed my eyes and after a while, I reopened them just to see azure-colored things that looked like even smaller snowflakes slowly falling on the ground. To be honest, it looked more like azure-colored mist formed from slightly more visible particles. I could feel that the temperature of the ground around me was becoming slowly colder.

Looks like I will have to learn how to control this new power. I guess it will be easier if I will train it with Esdeath's help since she is already experienced with this. Anyway, I shouldn't let anyone see me using this power because Esdeath is the only one known who has Ice-Elemental Teigu and I am already known for my fire Teigu, if I suddenly started controlling ice, the Empire would be even warier of me. I haven't heard of anyone wielding more than 1 Teigu at the same time. Maybe if I will be able to make it look like azure flames, it might work.

I thought and instantly stopped releasing that coldness from my hand

There are some changes I have ignored since I had no time at that time to read everything.

Beastmaster (Lv. 5) 12/160 NXP

[You are now able to control up to 2 common Beasts.]

[You are now able to store all of your Beasts into your shadow no matter the size.]

Finally, I can tame some bigger Danger Beasts. Some of my wriggles died during the collapse of the tomb but more than half of them got out of there so I will be able to incubate more of them to refill their numbers tomorrow.

It looks like I have also gained something special for my Master Blacksmith class.

[Common Reanimation - can be upgraded to Greater Reanimation for 5.000 gold]

[Lesser Shock - can be upgraded to Common Shock for 2.000 gold]

[Lesser Fear - can be upgraded to Common Fear for 2.000 gold]

[Common Reanimation - the weapon with this attribute is able to tame the souls of those killed by it. The soul will be trapped inside the weapon and can be released on command, the soul will take the form of its former body and its strength will be 80% of its original body before death. The more released souls at the same time one wielding the weapon controls, the weaker he becomes. Maximum of captured souls: 3. The wielder will become 5% weaker for each summoned soul. Summoned souls can't die but once they are truly defeated, the wielder must wait for some time before summoning them again. The wielder can't capture souls much more powerful than him and he must be the one who personally kills those he wants to control.]

[Lesser Shock - the weapon with this attribute is coated in electricity that's completely harmless to its wielder, however very deadly to its enemies. The techniques one is able to perform with such weapon depends on the quality of this attribute. This quality doesn't make the weapon able to control lightning.]

[Lesser Fear - More of General type of attribute focused on the military and wars. The weapon with this attribute is able to awaken fear of wielder's enemies while inspire his allies at the same time. The effect becomes greater with each defeated enemy and its range is also enlarging with each kill, however, after a certain time out of battle, those so-called ”stacks” will disappear. Maximum ”stacks” 50.]

Not bad at all but even though I stole a little more than half of the gold stored inside that tomb, I still have a problem with money. Right now, I should have enough money to buy Oarburgh's loyalty for numerous years but I can also use the money I have to expand my influence and business even more.

Tch! It's all about money, money money! No matter what world or era.

I will think about it once I return back to the Capital and talk it through with my father. Right now, I would only like to expand my pharmacy business since it will help a lot of people inside the Capital which will also make me have more influence. I have also heard that former prime minister Chouri retired after being overthrown by Honest. Maybe I can also use his influence to my own goals, he should still be very respected by people. After all, I have heard that he really cared about this Empire and its people.

To be honest, I am not sure why I am even doing it. Is it because all of my relatives live inside the Capital? To be honest, I can simply hide all of them inside Oarburgh hideout and stop caring about this country but I guess I grew a bit closer to it after living inside it for more than 17 years. I also doubt that my father would want to abandon everything plus even though he is ruthless and has no remorse to do evil things, he still means well for this Empire. As long as it will help in the long run, he will do whatever it takes, if it even means killing innocent people.

I thought with a bored expression while looking at the night sky and a big bright moon.

”Why you look so bored and lost?” Suddenly I heard feminine's voice right behind me.

”Just thinking about the future, meaning; boring stuff. You understand, right, Esdeath?” I replied without even looking behind me who is it since I already knew it when I heard her steps due to her wearing high heels boots.

”I see, I am pretty bored today too, due to not being able to fight any strong opponents. Excuse me...” She said and sat down right next to me, there was hardly any more space so our shoulders were pressing against each other.

What is her goal? Just to talk or something else?
