Of Level Ups and Monster Core Points

Editors: Joker, Speedphoenix

“AlrightAll we've got left now is the Cri the Ada backup, only to discover that our help was completely unneeded

The battle was practically over

Urushi+'s offenses weren't as great as the Crimson Wolf'sIn fact, he was notably weaker froed to do his foe har poison to shave away at its health

The large red dog's eyes were filled with purple specksIts fur had fallen off in patches; bald spots were visible all over its bodyIts breathing was shallow and it would even cough every once in a whileIt was obvious that its insides had been heavily da poison

Urushi+ was injured tooThe entire right half of his body was covered in burnsIn fact, his right eye had vanished altogether

Despite their injuries, both wolves were glaring at each other and snarlingIt was clear that each still wished to kill the other

Although Urushi+ looked closer to death, he was in fact faringblood was a sign that it was already too late to treat himThe poison had wonUrushi+ had won

The black wolf made use of the red one's weaknessHe cast a spell that led the shadows to bind the other wolf's feet before lunging at it and tearing out its throat

And so ended the battleThe cri over on its side

Urushi+ placed his paws atop his enemy's corpse and howled to declare hi on the spot

I hurried over to the wolf in panic and began to heal hied to fix enerate, so he was sure to get it back in tiht a schedule to sit around and wait until it did

And since it was probably best to have hirade potions we had on hand and sprinkled it over his eye, which proenerated over the course of ten odd secondsMan, are we lucky we et our hands on these

“There, all betterHow are you feeling, Urushi+?”

“Ruff”

“WhewGood to hear”

“Good boy”

“Woof!”

Truth be told, I would have liked to give both Fran and Urushi+ some time to rest, but we just didn't have any to spareThus, I decided to do to Fran as I did to Urushi+ and had her drink a potionIt wasn't going to help with her ue, which in fact wasto have to ood bitWe'll have to hit the gas if ant to catch up to that army”

“Nn!”

“But first, I should probably absorb thisyou don't mind, Urushi+”

“Woof!”

It was technically his prey, so Imy blade into thea C ranked monster, the orth a wealth of core pointsAnd withclose to a level as I was…

Self evolution has occurred

“Boooyaaah!” Woo! I called it! Man, that's luckyNow, I've not only got all ot a couple self evolution points to ithThis'll hopefullybattles a lot easier

“Master? What happened?” Fran asked me curiously in response to et a little bit too excited there

“I ranked up!,” I said excitedly“My MP is all the way back up to full, and I've also got us a whole 70 self evolution pointsJust in case”

“Wooooow,” said Fran, extending the word to demonstrate that she was impressed

“Oh and by the way, you've both leveled up three times”

We'd defeated a number of enemies, especially powerful ones, so I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be coiven that levels weren't all that easy to coiven that many adventurers found it hard to make their way all the way up to level 40, even in their ainedFran had gotten a new title: Annihilator of MonstersIts description read as follows

Annihilator of Monsters

A title granted to one that has defeated over a thousandto at least 100 distinct speciesThis title increases the title bearer's stats when in battle with one or more monstersThe bonus is proportional to the nuth

“Hmmm… nohat do I put points in? Oh wait, this isn't the tiure all this point stuff out along the way”

“Nn”

I put the Crimson Wolf's corpse into ht boy, chase!”

“Woof!”

We pursued the arained quite a bit of distance on usWe talked about my newfound points and theyou want in particular, Fran?”

“Magic Mastery?”

“Hour Manipulation into Vigour Mastery had drastically boosted the power of all our physical skills while shortening their cast tiic Mastery to provide a similar effectIt was sure to be extremely useful if it worked exactly as we expected

“Master? Want to point anything?”

“I, for one, want mana absorption”

It was a very important skill, one that would let h the horde of monsters ere about to faceWe had left it at level 9 because we didn't have the points to push it any furtherI was certain that level 10 would come with a boost in functionality worth the expenditure

Thinking about Mana Absorption sparked a related thought that ultiained in our recent rast the enemy's ranks: Life AbsorptionIt sounded like a skill that would allow Fran to use Brilliant Lightning Rush reater easeIt seereat use, especially co out of ti I just uaranteed to use them as soon as we make contact with the ene I did was duic ManipulationThe skill only evolved a single tie was incredible

“Aht?”

Fran's eyes widened as she felt a change occur in the skill's effectsIt not only bolstered our ical offenses, but also increased our ability to perceive yDrastically, at thatIt was almost as if our eyes had finally been opened, or like sos out of our earsThe world itself seeetherMagic Mastery's effects exceeded Vigour Mastery's by far

“OkayNext, Mana Absorption”

Mana Absorption has reached its maximum levelYou have obtained the Mana Thief skill

Oh nice, a new skillI'll figure out how to use it laterAfter I finish pointing stuff

Life Absorption has reached its maximum levelYou have obtained the Life Thief skill

HuhSo that one got upgraded tooI wonder what it doesMaybe just boost the aic Manipulation had eaten five points, Mana Absorption two, and Life Absorption eighteen, for a total of twenty five points consu

“Nohat do I do with the rest…?”

“Magic to restrain enemies?”

“Hmmm…”

Yeah, that sounds like it'd be pretty usefulBut which element should I focus on…?
