《A Strange Moon's Multiversal Adventure [System LitRPG Yuri]》 Chapter 1 Red Day 664, 10:07 (Day) In a desolate manor hidden by a barrier a figure contemplated his shortening lifespan. Said shortening lifespan was not caused by old age or illness, but by the shadow of death constantly closing in on him in the shape of a team of so-called Heroes who killed his Master and are currently hunting him down. The figure was a human-looking 60 years old man with long white hairs and a short beard, a pale complexion and vivid red eyes clad in a noble-looking attire with his right hand covered in black gloves holding his head with his right hand as he reflected what he could do against his hunters. ¡°If I use all of my Ghouls could I kill them? No, it wouldn¡¯t work and it would only be a waste of all my resources to buy a night at most, not nearly enough time.¡± His mouth, twisted in a grimace, showed two sharp fangs as he talked aloud to himself. ¡°If I detonate the castle with them inside¡­ No, if they are on guard they will survive. This alone won¡¯t be enough.¡± A sigh escaped him as he concentrated before nodding to himself. ¡°Let¡¯s abandon all hope of survival. If I fight all of them with all of my Ghouls and detonate this castle upon my death¡­ It could work. Very well, let¡¯s say this work and I bring all five of them down with me. What about my centuries of work? Will all of that be for naught? No, I cannot accept it!¡± His passion quickly cooled down towards a subdued tone. ¡°There is no chance of my survival. Maybe if I change bodies? No, one of them is able to see connection between individuals somehow. Think, Edgar, think.¡± Only one option was in his mind right now, not of his survival, but the survival of his research. As such his life was not the prize, but an additional resource to use to assure his success. His need for a student was without a doubt certain now, but he didn¡¯t have a convenient list of people he could teach or entrust his lifetimes of research and work to, not only that but they would also need to not be related to him as they would certainly be hunted down otherwise. ¡°I certainly can¡¯t use one of my Ghoul for such a thing and I have the resources to change only one of them, if they are ready, in a Vampire. And they would still be related to me¡­ Unless¡­ Tonight is a Red Moon, isn¡¯t it¡­ I need to find the right Ghoul to Ascend. It should still be alive, after all it is too useful to be sacrificed.¡± Upon having thought of a path forward the Vampire quickly went through all of his Ghouls, smiling as he found the specific one he was seeking and ordering it telepathically to go to the hidden laboratory where he himself was moving towards. Upon reaching said laboratory he found himself before the Ghoul he planned to ascend, a 15 years old-looking Half-Elf girl with red hair, gray complexion and dull red eyes waiting for him. He nodded and guided it towards a secret room within the laboratory, a room where the floor, ceiling, walls and even the inside of the door was made of a magical mirror reflecting the sky, if it was activated. He proceeded to take a vial of blood gifted to him by his now former Master to use to Ascend a Ghoul that was ready in a Vampire and looked at its Servant. ¡°Listen well. In two hours night will fall and a Red Moon will happen. You aren¡¯t allowed to leave this room until I give you an express order otherwise. The moment the Red Moon will manifest these special mirrors will flood this room with Moonlight and you will drink my Master¡¯s blood starting your Ascension. While the Red Moon¡¯s light shine in this room you will use your Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± to absorb as much power as you can while taking care to hold back from Ascending until the Mirrors finished sending moonlight in this room. Do you understand?¡± Upon the rhetoric question and the predicted response composed of a nod the Ghoul gently took the blood vial from its Master and moved towards the center of the room where, upon its Master¡¯s exit and locking of the room, it sit down ready to activate its Unique Skill at a moment notice.

Meanwhile the two century and a half Vampire went towards the control room for the entire manor, where the control for the normally hidden rooms was in itself hidden. The Vampire researcher went to access said hidden controls through a mix of his Blood and Mana using his own Unique Skill: ¡°Soul Link¡± as a medium to interface with said controls. The next step was simple: the lowering of all the energy use within the manor to the minimum except for the barrier with the role to hide said manor and preparing to redirect said energy to the mirror room while at the same time preparing to connect said room with the first of the Linked Mirrors that will recieve the ray of Red Moonlight. While he was waiting for the coming of the Red Moon he was reflecting on his luck that it was happening right now as through said Red Moon that team of Heroes would have their travel options limited considering that they were on a different island from him. In fact no boat or ship will travel two weeks before and two weeks after the Red Moon as it would vastly increases the power and aggressiveness of most Monsters. The travel, a week long by sea minimum, would give him more than enough time to train his new student a little, give them his research and sending them away from the island well before the Heroes would reach him. Finally, after an additional hour and a half, the first ray of Red Moonlight shone on the receiver and his plan started in earnest with the transfer of said light to the Mirror Room where all the Energy that was being stored was used to amplify it such that the light was not that of a Red Moon, but that of a Blood Moon while the Ghoul took in his Master¡¯s Blood and it started integrating Energy from said Blood Moonlight. - It was being ripped apart. It was being burnt. It was being frozen. It was being shocked. It was being crushed. And this cycle continued. It was being destroyed. It was being erased. It would not fall. It would succeed. Its absorption of the Energy was hurting it. It could stop. It would not stop. It would not yield. It would not hesitate. It will succeed. It will surpass all expectation. It will converge¡­ She will be one! - 7/1 664 00:31 (Summer, Day) It was barely after Sunrise. After eleven long hours of Red Moon and around 90% of the manor¡¯s energy reserves was exhausted it was finally over. The old vampire was before the Mirror Room hoping that this final gambit was a success and hesitantly opened the shut door. The first thing he saw was two crimson lights shining before him and he knelt down without hesitation, his eyes stuck firmly on the ground. A light sound reached his ears, the sound of extremely soft steps as a shadow was cast on him. ¡°Look up.¡± It- no, she said in a voice that betrayed no emotion. Having heard the soft command he remained on his knees, but looked up meeting for the second time the two crimson lights that he now identified as a pair of eyes that shone of their own light with no pupils. Said eyes were in an incredibly pale face with long silver hair that were not owned by a Vampire as his own Skills helped him to understand what the figure before him was. At her rebirth she had two Skill at E-Rank, a Racial Skill and her Unique Skill. Said Skills were more than enough to acknowledge the miracle before him. Racial Skill: Lunarian; Unique Skill: Singularity; A small smile was on the face of the newly reborn entity before him as wonder shone on his own face. Status Stored Magicules 0 Racial: Lunarian E Magicules: 0/1.000. Unique: Singularity E Magicules: 0/1.000. Chapter 2 7/1 664 00:32 (Summer, Day) ¡°Rise.¡± The soft command from the Lunarian woke up the old researcher who, for the first time, properly studied the figure before him. She maintained similarity to her previous self, the slightly pointed ears common in Half-Elfs, a similar slightly muscular frame, her hairs reaching her shoulders and similar somatic characteristics; however, she looked about 18 years old, had a much curvier figure and she grew from an height of 171 cm to an height of 180 cm. Yes, even with all the similarities, no one that would have not known her deeply and personally would have recognized her. Her hairs, before a vivid red, were now a shining silver, her eyes, before a deep blue, were now twin spheres of crimson light that he could only compare to the phenomena of a Red Moon, having never experienced a Blood Moon himself, her skin was now even paler than before and the various scars she had were now absent like any previous small imperfections. She was clad in a tasteful white shirt with short black pants. The being before him was without a doubt perfect. The smile, adorned with sharp fangs, before him enlarged as he stared at her before she continued speaking, her tone calm yet full of pride. ¡°There is no need for you to bow, is there? Even if your worship of me is only natural, you should still be able to speak to me face to face, shouldn¡¯t you?¡± This words caused a cold wave to pass through him as he finally remembered why exactly he waited so long before turning her in a Vampire. Even without any of the memories of either of her lives before, she was an incredibly proud individual that at 15 years old was willing and able to fight his Master, a 500 years old Vampire, and all his subordinates to buy time for her younger sister to escape while using no special weapon all the way from sunset to almost sunrise. She was now in a superior body and he could only be happy that he would never see what she would become when she matured as he would certainly be dead by that point. ¡°Now, why exactly did you help my birth as a Lunarian?¡± At her question he breathed in before responding. ¡°I am going to die soon and so, before then, I want all of my work to mean something.¡± ¡°And so you Awoke someone to be your student. How much time do you have left?¡± ¡°At least 15 days and at most 45 days.¡± ¡°I see.¡± She nodded before gesturing for him to proceed. ¡°Tell me your name and what your plan for me was.¡± He nodded quickly before starting to guide her to the room where he once spoke with his late Master. ¡°Very well. My name is Edgar. My original plan was to use the blood that my Master gifted me to ascend a Ghoul in a Vampire. My Master had a maximum potential as a Vampire of B-Rank and so any Vampire he transformed had a maximum potential of C-Rank. I myself am at this Rank. However a newly reborn Vampire with so little potential would be quickly hunted down and killed. And then there is the previous you.¡± They finally entered said room and the Lunarian moved to take the chair behind the desk, sitting there before gesturing the Vampire to continue. ¡°Your Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± even at E-Rank would give you tremendous efficiency and so, with the same ammount of Blood, you¡¯d reach a maximum potential of B-Rank, equal to my former Master, instead of C-Rank. The influence of the Red Moon should have been enough to reach A-Rank in potential and because of the amplification of the Red Moonlight to Blood Moonlight and your Unique Skill you Ascended into a Lunarian. How impossibly unpredictable.¡± ¡°Oh? What did you expect instead? Certainty you didn¡¯t expect a simple Vampire, now, did you? It was just that you were aiming too low.¡± ¡°I suppose so, but from my point of view the fact that instead of a Vampire or an Ancestor, what I prayed for, I now find myself before a Lunarian can only be a sign that you are even more exceptional than I expected.¡± ¡°Obviously. I am the best, after all.¡± Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! A sigh escaped Edgar¡¯s mouth before he nodded, after all, the proof was before him. ¡°Well, I want to teach you as much as I can before giving you all of my research before I die.¡± She nodded before responding. ¡°Very well. Where do you want to start?¡± ¡°I would say to start by teaching you ¡°Soul Harmony¡±, a Growth Skill I invented personally.¡± ¡°Hoh? Should I be impressed then?¡± The challenge was heard and he smiled in response. ¡°At the start, it¡¯s nothing much, but it¡¯s very good when you are strong. But to do that I would need to use my Unique Skill ¡°Soul Link¡± to help you.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± He nodded and hesitantly held out his hand that was then taken by the Lunarian. - She found herself in an empty void, looking down she saw herself looking back, their feet one on the other, looking up she saw another her looking back, their heads 10 centimeters away from her. ¡°I see.¡± She watched around her seeing the same situation in all directions before thinking to herself. *The name of the Growth Skill is Soul Harmony and the name of the Unique Skill is Soul Link. Consequently this must be¡­ My Unique Skill, Singularity. Makes Sense. But if this is my Unique Skill, I should be in my Soul and so there should also be my Racial Skill ¡°Lunarian¡±, but it¡¯s not here. * She looked around herself again before nodding and concentrating on the flow of her own blood and her heartbeat. Two minute later she found herself in a barren wasteland. The floor was not dirt, but a solid layer of blood. The sky was made by another layer of blood with only a big vaguely blue sphere beyond said layer. She nodded accepting it quickly before moving back towards the empty void of before and again towards what she now understood as her image of a Blood Moon while on the surface of it. She repeated this process over and over again faster and faster until a good hour later the image of the two worlds were overlapping before stopping in the void. She nodded to herself before closing her left eye and imagining herself on the Blood Moon. Once there she opened her left eye bringing with her the image of her void. The two worlds could and maybe should have conflicted and destroyed each other, but there was no need of such conflict. After all, she is one. The two worlds separated and so did she. The two worlds were still one and so, even if she was two, she was one. The two worlds were now shaped not as worlds, but as two of herself, one made of a chaotic mass of energy of all colors and one a figure made of blood, shadows and Moonlight. - 7/1 664 02:26 (Summer, Day) This was the message she recieved upon returning to the material world. ¡°Just one hour and a half¡­ I¡¯m impressed.¡± ¡°Did you expect anything else? I¡¯m, after all, the best.¡± ¡°I suppose your pride is deserved. My former Master took a whole day.¡± ¡°It¡¯s also a matter of compatibility with the Skill. Now, tell me, how was my former self?¡± ¡°Scarlet was wonderfully terrifying. As a 15 years old she was B-Class. All this with a Unique Skill that isn¡¯t directly combat-related.¡± ¡°How did she fight?¡± ¡°No-Attribute Sorcery to enhance Unharmed Technique while using her weapon based Skills through Mana Shaping.¡± ¡°As expected of the previous me. It¡¯s without a doubt the most effective way to fight for someone in our situation. Tell me, do you know where nearby Monsters are? I need to fight something.¡± ¡°Are you sure? Your rebirth was less than 3 hours ago.¡± ¡°If I want to surpass the previous me I cannot waste time.¡± ¡°Very well. This way. Tell me, how should I call you?¡± Edgar started to guide her towards a Ghoul that would function as a guide. ¡°A name, eh? Scarlet is an option, but I am not her anymore. Well, I suppose I am her, after all, we do share our Unique Skill so we are the same. However, it¡¯s not an appropriate name for me. Hm, Luna? Yes, Luna it is. My name from now on is Luna.¡± Edgar watched with a deadpan expression as she happily nodded to herself satisfied. *Isn¡¯t that just ¡°Moon¡± in another language? Or even just an abbreviation of Lunarian? * Stored Magicules 0 Racial: Lunarian E Magicules: 0/1.000. Unique: Singularity E Magicules: 0/1.000. (New) Growth: Soul Harmony E Magicules: 0/1.000. Chapter 3 7/1 664 02:32 (Summer, Day) The Ghoul Edgar was controlling guided the newly named Luna outside the manor and towards a nearby cave. Upon exiting the manor they were illuminated by the rays of the Sun. Differently from Vampires or Ancestors, neither Lunarians or Ghouls are affected by Sunlight and so they entered in a carriage led by a pair of black horses. ¡°The travel is around 30 minutes long.¡± The voice of the old Vampire escaped from the Ghoul. ¡°I see. Very well, I will meditate on my Mana.¡± She concentrated on herself quickly finding the location of her Mana Core, a metaphysical organ that produces and stores Mana within all beings with a Soul. She directed her will on the Mana Core, quickly taking control of said Mana. A normal individual would have found it a simple, but lengthy process depending on talent, but this was already the third time she did that and so, even if without memories, it was more instinct than anything else. This process was rendered even easier by the fact that, because of her Unique Skill, her Mana was impossibly uniform and so it didn¡¯t fight her or itself. She nodded before opening her eyes to a message from the System. This was only the first step that she could do while in the carriage for the sake of efficiency and now it was time for the second step. She quickly manipulated around 10 Mana within her body to strengthen it. This process was also relatively quick thanks to the combination of her Unique Skill, her Growth Skill, her new ¡°Mana Control¡± Skill until the Spell was Casted before being Dispelled. At the 17th time this cycle was conducted, she smiled as she was now accustomed to the feeling of casting a No Attribute Sorcery as the System acknowledged soon after. She Casted the same Spell again noting the difference with and without the support of the Skill being over 10% more effective. She opened her eyes and asked her new acquaintance through his Ghoul. ¡°So, what can you tell me about the Monsters around here?¡± As she asked Edgar, she started manipulating her Mana from her Mana Core to the outside of her body in a pointy shape. ¡°Normally this island only has Low-Ranked Monsters and not even that many. However a Red Moon literally just ended and while most of the Monster will have been killed by the few Low and Mid-Ranked Hunters on this Island, a lot will have survived, grown stronger and Evolved because of its influence. Now, what are you doing?¡± He asked upon seeing her repeatedly make a pointy mass of Mana before Dispelling it and Casting it again in a slightly more pointed mass. ¡°I¡¯m acquiring, reacquiring? Mana Shaping now that I have No Attribute Sorcery.¡± ¡°I see. Well, we are almost at a cave. There should be at least some Monster for you to kill and, as an insurance, this Ghoul is combat oriented so it should be able to protect you if necessary. All the same, if you see a D-Rank Monster, be extremely careful.¡± She rolled her eyes while continuing to make and remake what could now be seen as a Mana Dagger. ¡°If you aren¡¯t ready to risk your life, you will never be able to reach your full power. Any and every fight should be an opportunity for you to become stronger and an occasion to grow.¡± A sigh escaped him at that answer and before he could properly comment on it, she briefly smiled as a perfect Mana Dagger appeared in her hand, a dagger that looked like it was made of glass. ¡°Do you know why my previous self concentrated on these Skill for battles? Well, the reason is simple and I¡¯m now certain of it. An higher Rank of my ¡°Singularity¡± negates the sustain cost of my Spells in general and the Durability of my Mana Constructs. I have no doubt about it.¡± ¡°I see. That would certainly explain some things regarding the battle between the previous you and my Master. How precise, we have arrived.¡± ¡°As expected of me.¡± She nodded to herself, a satisfied smile on her face, as she left the caravan before then entering the cave before them without hesitation nor tentative to hide in any way. Edgar rolled his eyes in his real body while his Ghoul proceeded after the newborn Lunarian. After a short walk she found herself before a one-meter tall figure with a green, coarse skin, a big nose, big dull yellow eyes and a twisted expression that was transporting some sticks deeper in, clad in some brown pelt. ¡°Hey, you vermin. As the most beautiful thing you have ever seen and the last thing you will ever see, you should be grateful, you green rat.¡± At the sound it dropped most of its haul before turning towards her with a stick before jumping at her trying to hit her with said stick. She made three steps to the side, beyond the reach of said stick, before stepping in after the swing of what she recognized as a Goblin landing a punch directly on the side of its head sending it crashing into the wall of the cave. Before he could even fall to the ground, Luna was already on it landing a kick directly against the center of his chest to knock its breath out of him before kicking its falling head with her heel sending it crashing to the ground. She did not hesitate, she rose her hand before punching down against its chest releasing Mana through her fist, the Spell Mana Burst, destroying its chest and killing it in the process. She took it by its head and forcefully bit down on its troat starting to quickly drain it of its green blood before dropping it, a bloodless carcass of skin and bones. This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. ¡°How disgusting. Your blood tastes as foul as your worthless existence. It makes sense, after all, if your body had any worth, a plague like you would have been long since exterminated, pathetic and weak as you are.¡± Having gifted her last comment upon its rests, she went forward without any hesitation. ¡°Did you gain any Skill?¡± ¡°Not yet. This in not an appropriate target for me to grow.¡± ¡°However you should have gained a considerable ammount of Magicules considering ¡°Singularity¡±.¡± ¡°I suppose. If I was a normal Lunarian at E-Rank I would have gained a tenth, just 36 Magicules, while a Vampire or an Ancestor at my Rank would have gained only half of that,18.¡± ¡°Do you need to meditate on the Magicules to properly incorporate them?¡± ¡°There is no meaning in that. The stronger I am the lesser will be my growth against things like those. It¡¯s more efficient if I incorporate them only when I have finished exterminating them.¡± ¡°What if you find yourself before a group of them? Or an higher Rank one? Or, even worst, a Mutated one, especially with a Red Moon, literally just over?¡± ¡°The group one is no problem. In the first place I fought it like that to measure its ability to think and strategize and I can only conclude that, at least at E-Rank, there is only a marginal difference in danger between 1 and 5 Goblins. Not only that, but there will be at most 7 remaining Goblins in this cave and the reason is because the Red Moon just ended.¡± ¡°Oh? Why don¡¯t you explain more?¡± She rolled her eyes, a superior expression on her face as she prepared to explain her point of view. ¡°Well, a Red Moon doesn¡¯t just render Monsters stronger and more aggressive, but it also render them tireless and without any limit caused by Satiety yet it wasn¡¯t Mutated nor Ranked Up and it was fully grown so at least one month old. Not only that, but all Monsters are born with an active Miasmic Core and so they can instinctively coat ¡°weapons¡± to protect them yet it was bringing in sticks, not bones or weapon neither food. Goblins, in addition, don¡¯t cook food because their tongue is not able to taste the difference, so the sticks are probably weapons. Consequently, there will not be any significant obstacles.¡± ¡°I see. You are bullshitting me, aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°What do you mean? Nothing I spoke is a lie, after all.¡± ¡°I know. However this is an excuse. You just want to fight.¡± ¡°You do know me well, don¡¯t you?¡± An happy smile was on her face as she happily hummed, her eyes scanning the area around them. They entered in another section finding themselves before a group of three Goblins that were communicating through grunts and gestures with no weapon or improvised ones nearby, clads in brown pelts. She didn¡¯t hesitate and stepped forward before calling out to them. ¡°Hey, wastes of space, get out of my way or die.¡± Upon her taunt the three Goblins jumped in surprise before turning towards her and one of them ran at her. She rolled her eyes before dodging the clumsy punch and responding with one of her own directly on his large nose stunning it before grabbing it by its head and throwing it towards a second Goblin that was running towards her sending them crashing towards the ground while, at the same time, she dodged the grab from the third before quickly Shaping a Mana Dagger with 20 Mana cutting it on the flank before Dispelling it. ¡°I see. Death it is, you wretches.¡± Goblin 1 and 2 tried to stand up while getting in each other way while Goblin 3 was spilling its green blood on the floor turning again towards the Lunarian meeting one of her eyes with its own. ¡°How disgusting. You are not worth looking at me so die.¡± Having said that she turned fully towards Goblin 3 and started to move towards it, quickly reaching it, dodged its last attempt to attack and smashing her right punch directly on its forehead with a Mana Burst killing the third Goblin first. She quickly dropped to the ground dodging Goblin 2¡¯s assault before kicking Goblin 1 on his chest using Mana Burst sending it flying back before rolling left dodging the second attack of Goblin 2, standing up and grabbing Goblin 2¡¯s left arm, pulling it towards her and kneeling it in the back and launching it at Goblin 1 again sending them crashing back to the ground. While they were arguing again she stepped up to them and stabbed them both through their chest with a long mass of Mana, not a Mana Dagger but a Mana Lance. She nodded before grabbing the three dead bodies and proceeding to suck their Blood. ¡°Do you have better tasting blood in your Mansion?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Once in the Mansion you will have much tastier blood.¡± ¡°Very well. Just one left then.¡± She said while regarding the Goblin that just arrived from deeper in, a 1,20 meter tall Goblin wielding a pointy stick in its right hand somewhat competently, clad in a black pelt and, the most noteworthy thing, having a third horizontal green eye on its forehead. ¡°I see. A Mutated D-Rank Goblin with some actual ability. This will be fun.¡± She smiled as the two prepared to fight. Status Stored Magicules 1.440 Racial: Lunarian E Magicules: 0/1.000.

Chapter 4 7/1 664 03:19 (Summer, Day) The battle started without any hesitation from either of the two individuals. Luna dodged a thrust from the stick and tried to slash it with a Mana Dagger that was dodged too before the two separated. After a brief moment in which the two observed each other the battle restarted with Luna moving in slashing at it being blocked by the stick before punching its stick with a Mana Burst unbalancing it and able to slash it. Or at least she should have if he didn¡¯t forcefully step back dodging her slash and regaining its balance. The two started circling each other, stick in two green hands wielded as a spear and the other two white hands half open ready to be either a fist or to wield Mana Daggers. The two of them had similar physical stats after all while Goblin are weak for their Rank and Lunarians are strong for their own, a difference of one Rank is more than enough to equalize things especially if the Goblin has gained both an Ability and an Innate Skill. Its Third Eye was constantly monitoring its opponent physical condition trying to predict her and the flow of combat while she was concentrating not on her opponent or the terrain, but only on herself and her own movements, refining them little by little. Instantly she stepped forward her left arm forming not a Mana Dagger, but a Mana Lance closing the two meter distance between the two and threatening to impale it right here and now if not for the Goblin mostly evading the attack except for a scratch before responding with a thrust from the stick that she didn¡¯t evade, but that instead she took in her right hand clenching it still before slashing it with her left hand now armed with a Mana Dagger across the chest the two separating again with her wound quickly healing as the two restarted to circle each other. However, this time, it was the Goblin that started the attack thrusting with its spear before quickly rotating it to gain distance while stepping in before suddenly thrusting not at her chest, but at her knees forcing her to move sideways before trying to smack her with its stick, stick that was forcibly stopped with her hands to then kick the Goblin straight in the chest sending it away. Before it could react it found itself having to drop to the ground to dodge a Mana Dagger thrown by Luna and rolling to the side dodging a stomp from her and rising while spinning the stick to make space around it. She nodded to herself, a happy smile on her face, as the two continued their battle. A thrust was dodged and so was the answering slash, a punch from Luna was blocked and the answering strike was evaded. The two separated for an instant before she restarted the battle with a thrust from her Mana Lance held in her left hand that was dodged before her right hand swung in with a Mana Dagger that was dodged too before, instead of a Lance that covered most of her forearm, a long transparent spear was in her left hand thrusting not at the Goblin, but at its ¡°spear¡± unbalancing it before kicking it straight in its chest sending it flying away. She nodded the Mana weapons already Dispelled as she concentrated and she Casted another Mana Spear in her hand before swinging it around her briefly, a satisfied smile on her face. The battle restarted again with a meeting between two spears, one consistent of a stick and one made entairily out of Mana. The Ghoul controlled by Edgar was observing the battle and the nearby area to make sure they wouldn¡¯t be ambushed while Edgar himself was thinking about the battle. *She maximized Durability in exchange for attack Potency. Why? Why is she bothering to fight like this? She could just maximize Attack Power while Casting Stats Enhancement at full Power to instantly kill that Goblin. Why doesn¡¯t she? Ah, I see. ¡°Any and every fight should be an opportunity for you to become stronger and an occasion to grow.¡± How monstrous. Even if the Goblin has more skill with a spear for now and has a Third Eye specifically for melee combat, Luna is becoming better with a spear and growing faster that it can. * As the thought passed his mind something changed. Luna nodded to herself and Dispelled her Spear having learned all that she could about it from her temporary opponent before Casting a Mana Dagger with the same maximized Durability and restarting the battle again. This time the fight was much shorter as Luna¡¯s growth and adaptation was substantially faster and even through the Goblin was becoming better it didn¡¯t matter. The fight become even more one sided to the Lunarian¡¯s favor as she proceeded to close her eyes while continuing the fight, her Health, Stamina and Mana already fully recovered even if her Satiety was starting to decrease before being refilled by converting Health into it. She already memorized the area around her, her own weapon and physical characteristics, her opponent¡¯s weapon and her opponent itself, both its physical characteristics, its reaction speed, its skill with a Spear and how it would behave itself. There was no more threat, it was only a vehicle for her own growth. Quickly she adapted to fight her opponent, her own slashes parrying away its own stabs and attacks while landing on it her own before Dispelling her Mana Dagger and deciding to end the fight, having learned all that she could. She forcefully made space between them by opening her eyes and Shaping a mass of Mana in a transparent blade as long as she was tall to cut the area between them and making a spear in her right hand before moving in with a violent yet precise stab straight towards its heart. Its eyes widened as it moved its own spear to block the attack. However, differently from all other attacks launched in this fight, this attack could not be stopped with just that. ¡°Heavy Thrust.¡± As this words escaped from Luna¡¯s mouth and her Satiety decreased, her Mana Spear flashed red and pierced through its Stick destroying it in the process and opening it up to a Slash from the Mana Dagger in her left hand. ¡°Heavy Slash.¡± Her Dagger flashed the same red as her Satiety decreased further and she slashed it through the fur around it and cutting it deeply, its blood erupting and staining the area around it. It would have stained Luna if only she would not have made distance between them, what now was a transparent Bow in her right hand with a, transparent too, nocked Arrow direct towards its face; Arrow that was now launched and pierced straight through its third eye, killing it. She nodded satisfied before jogging to her new meal and sucking its blood, even with its horrible taste. The blood on the ground moved towards her as she devoured it all. *Luna gained 465 Magicules Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. *Luna gained the Ability Skill ¡°Spear Technique¡± *Luna gained the Ability Skill ¡°Knife Technique¡± *Luna gained the Ability Skill ¡°Bow Technique¡± *Luna gained the Ability Skill ¡°Unarmed Technique¡± She had an happy smile on her face as she opened and closed her hands, feeling the difference from before. ¡°This is great. Very well, are there any more Goblin nearby?¡± ¡°No. That one was the last nearby. Let¡¯s turn back to the Manor. You would certainly want to consolidate your gains.¡± ¡°I suppose so. Let¡¯s go. I doubt there is anything of worth down here.¡± The two moved on and at the exit of the cave the Ghoul rose its right arm generating a red Magic Circle. ¡°Corpse Cremation.¡± Having said that, the circle greedily drank power from the Ghoul before releasing a wave of flames that could only burn corpses, while being quite efficient at doing that, one of Edgar¡¯s own creation. The two returned to the carriage and then Edgar¡¯s Manor. Once there Luna reached Edgar that was waiting in his hidden laboratory holding in his hand a sphere a centimeter long of a iridescent metal in his hand. ¡°This is Orichalcum, a special metal.¡± ¡°I see. Tell me, what is the reason you will die?¡± ¡°A party, called Iriblades, hunted down my Master and all of his Servants starting from about 3 years ago.¡± He took a photo from one of his pocket and showed her. In that photo there was a group of five individuals. The central one was a black haired, black eyed, fair skinned Human man of about 19 years, an armor made mostly of white and gold armor with blue accents and wielding a sword with a blade made entirely of light with a gem of iridescent metal at the center, smiling at the camera. At his right a short brown-haired Dwarf woman that looked the same age, an heavy armor on her and an Hammer made entirely out of rock with red cracks that shined slightly with a band made of the same iridescent metal, smiling exasperatedly. At his left was a tall 18 years old pale Human woman wearing blue witch¡¯s clothes wielding a long dark wooden staff with a crystal made of iridescent metal, a smug smile on her face. Behind and between the Human male and the Dwarf was a tall, blonde, 20-something years old male Elf with a clerics uniform, a short Healer¡¯s staff made of a light wood with an iridescent band. At the left of the witch, almost outside the picture, was a red-haired, blue-eyed, fair-skinned, 190 centimeters tall Half-Elf that looked in her early twenties, with a Ranger¡¯s attire and a long wooden bow with various gems made of iridescent metal on the branches with a white string, a pissed off expression on her face; she felt important, but Luna had no idea how or why. ¡°Why is it that they are hunting you down? Do you want my Blood? Do you want me to kill them?¡± ¡°To the second question, no. After all, they are finding me through my Blood and if I take in your Blood they will find you through me for an increase in power that will not be enough for me to win without a doubt. I have no interest in vengeance or things like that, I care much more for my research. And regarding the reason¡­ Well, I really have no idea. There are many reasons why a Vampire could be hunted and I have no idea for theirs. It¡¯s time to consolidate your Magicules, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°How rare are red hair and blue eyes on an Half-Elf?¡± ¡°Around a tenth of all Half-Elf have both naturally so it doesn¡¯t tell us anything in particular.¡± ¡°I suppose.¡± Having said that Luna sit down starting to meditate quickly reaching her own Soul, finding herself before the two her, a slight mist of Magicules flowing around her. Instead of moving deeper in, she moved towards the outside looking not at them, but at various crystals shaped like a bow and arrow, a dagger, a spear, a mirror, an orb and a sphere made of mist, her own Ability Skills. She nodded before moving back towards her own Inner Soul taking control of the Magicules flowing around her Soul and directing it towards her own Skills. Her own Singularity Skill gained 1.000 Magicules reaching its limit for now, While both Lunarian and Soul Harmony gained 100 each, because giving more than that would be a waste for now. The change in power felt great as she smiled to herself, her fangs peeking out from her lips and her pupil-less eyes observing her hands opening and closing.

What is it?¡± ¡°Well, I have some informations to give you. The Growth Skill I have teached you, ¡°Soul Harmony¡±, can only be used by someone with an active Unique Skill so if you want to teach it to someone be sure that they have one. I have two additional matters to discuss that should be related. Another is your new Casting Aid and the Growth Skill ¡°Unique Arma¡± that I will teach you.¡± ¡°Not your own Growth Skill, is it?¡± ¡°It is not. This is a Skill that we copied from the Iriblades. It normally uses a lot of Orichalcum, but I learned how to substitute most of the Orichalcum with a lot of the blood of the User.¡± ¡°It seems like Orichalcum is not as rare as I thought.¡± ¡°No, it is. Natural Orichalcum is incredibly rare, but that party started to sell small quantity of it every other month. I think their blacksmith is able to refine or increases Orichalcum from other materials.¡± ¡°And they are free to Hunt down a Vampire and all of its subordinate instead of being chained somewhere?¡± ¡°They only started officially selling it around one year and a half ago and by that time they had already made a lot of friends. While the leader¡± he indicated the central one ¡°and the Half-Elf have no particular background or protection, they are very strong. Additionally, the Elf has a lot of allies in high places in various Churches and both the Witch and the Dwarf are nobles, even if not in too high positions. Additionally, by that time, all of them were famous and looked up to by the general population of this country rendering them well protected from nobles.¡± ¡°I see. How did you find out about this Growth Skill?¡± ¡°Well, you know how it is. If someone has a lot of trusted friends, some of these may have different friends that they trust themselves and so on.¡± ¡°Very well, when could you start to make this Unique Arma?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry to say, but I can¡¯t make your Unique Arma. I can help you, but you would need to make it personally.¡± ¡°I see. I have no idea how to make it.¡± She said proudly. He sighed, a sweat drop flowing from his forehead. I suppose this is what it feels like to speak with a newborn God. ¡°Very well¡­ I suppose I will teach it to you too. It¡¯s technically easy to make it, you just need to have an Ability Skill regarding Crafting of D-Rank or higher.¡± ¡°So do they all have a Crafting Skill of that Rank?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe so. With enough Orichalcum, you don¡¯t need to personally make it, and a drop of blood should be enough. However, this is terribly inefficient regarding it¡¯s use of Orichalcum.¡± ¡°I see¡­ Yes, I suppose so. Well, after you give me the blood you promised me, you may teach me a Crafting Skill.¡± ¡°Very well, while I guide you towards the forge in one of this manor¡¯s basements, one of my Ghoul will bring you much tastier blood, even if I doubt you will gain anything, but taste from it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, I want it only because of the taste anyway.¡± - 7/1 664 05:41 (Summer, Day) Having drunk a glass of blood, sighing slightly in pleasure at the taste, Luna refocused on Edgar gesturing for him to continue. ¡°The Crafting Skill I want to teach you and that you would use for your Unique Skill is the Ability Skill ¡°Mana Forging¡±¡± ¡°I see. Does the Crafting Skill impact it?¡± ¡°Not at all. The Crafting Skill is irrelevant to the final product. Mana Forging would be useful to you regarding Mana Shaping.¡± ¡°Very well, let¡¯s begin. Teach me.¡± ¡°Mana Forging is the Skill to apply Mana to objects to Cast Spells through them. In your case, at an high enough Rank, you should be able to automatically use it with Mana Shaping to make more efficient and stronger weapons.¡± ¡°How strange. The previous me had no idea about how to use such a Skill¡­¡± A pout was on her face as she thought about that. ¡°That is only natural, to use it with the Skill at E-Rank or lower you need a specific and costly Magical Item. Well, let¡¯s begin.¡± Edgar brought her towards a great Magical Item. It was pratically a separated room by itself, three meters tall and a good four meters both in width and in depth with a door opening to a comfortable seat in the center. ¡°So, how does it work?¡± ¡°Well, this Magic Item is, in reality, a mix between a Creative Focus and a Disenchanter. You¡¯d need to Mana Forge an object with a Spell, the object will be Disenchanted, and you will Mana Forge it again until you gain a D-Rank in Mana Forging. This one¡± he touched the machine ¡°will render Mana Forging much easier and efficient until you gain the Skill. Our objective, for now, is for you to gain the Skill as soon as possible.¡± ¡°I see¡­ It seems like my first D-Rank Skill will be Mana Forging. Well, let¡¯s begin.¡± She nodded to herself before entering the Mana Forge and sitting comfortably on her new chair. Once there she watched the room noting how in the room there was a metal arm holding carefully a staff before handing it to her. She held it softly with one hand, the other going to the opposite space for it, connecting with a, mostly empty, well of Mana. She enveloped the staff with her own Mana concentrating on a specific Spell, Stat Enhancement, and the Forge helped to direct her Mana until, 25 Mana and as many minutes later, the Staff was properly Mana Forged thanks to the fact that the Mana was forcibly held within the staff. She could not even stop to admire her new creation before the arm reacted to it and moved the staff to the Disenchanting portion of this room where it passed the staff to a machine that drained the staff¡¯s Enchantment and converted it to Mana that was then flowing towards the Mana Well within the Machine before, 5 minutes later, the staff was offered to her again, she nodded to herself full of determination. - 7/1 664 08:37 (Summer, Day) She smiled exhausted as she noted her new Skill that she gained after her fifth success. Much faster thanks to the machine that negated any chance of failure in the Mana Forging and her own Mana Control that lowered the minimum required Mana to 25, having spent a massive 125 Mana. She didn¡¯t hesitate, she sat up, went to the door and left the machine, finding herself before a Ghoul waiting for her. ¡°I need a pause¡± she told the Ghoul, ¡°I have low Mana and I am liable to kill something if I need to enhance the same thing another time.¡± After a pause, the Ghoul¡¯s bearing changed and Edgar¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°I see. It is still day so if you want to leave I would need to send you with one of my Ghouls to function as a guide or you can come in my library if you want to.¡± She pouted before nodding to the second option. ¡°Very well, I¡¯m coming there.¡± ¡°Okay, the Ghoul will-¡± ¡°There is no need for that, I will reach you alone.¡± Before he could comment further, she left the room in search of his library. A good 40 minutes later, Luna found herself before the amused Vampire in his library looking at his, for now, books. ¡°Quite the collections of book here.¡± ¡°After all this is my favorite room except for the laboratory and, as such, is less than two minutes away from it.¡± An amused chuckle almost escaped him, but he was more than able to suppress it. He lived more than two centuries, such a feat was not hard for him. Luna meanwhile showed no outward signs of any embarrassment at having needed various Ghouls to search her and bring her here from the opposite side of the manor. Edgar was taking entire bookcases and moving them towards a ring that quickly absorbed them. ¡°I reached Mana Forging E-Rank, so I am taking a pause. Entertain me.¡± A sigh escaped his mouth at this before he focused on the young, bored Lunarian. This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. ¡°Before that, may I ask you a question?¡± At her nod, he continued. ¡°How much information do you actually know? A newly Rebirthed Vampire normally can barely talk or move at first, yet you¡­¡± ¡°I see. I¡¯m probably the most knowledgeable being in the World technically. I just cannot access most of the information from my sources.¡± ¡°Oh? What sources? Now I am genuinely curios.¡± ¡°I have three sources: the previous me, all of the creatures whose blood I have drunk from my Rebirth to now and the Moon.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ did you¡­ did you just say the Moon?¡± ¡°Yes. One of my sources is the Moon. It¡¯s a giant¡­ library? Well, it knows a lot of stuff. So much so that it is too much and so all of my knowledge is purely subconscious.¡± ¡°I see¡­ well, what do you want to learn?¡± ¡°Well, let¡¯s start with¡­ ¡± After a long pause during which Edgar restarted to push bookcases in the ring she nodded. ¡°Red Moons and Blood Moons.¡± ¡°Very well. I already told you that during a Red and Blood Moon the monsters are tireless. Monsters whose Racial Rank increases during a Red Moon, gain a new Unrelated Innate Skill, always. Instead, during a Blood one all Monsters gain an Unreleated Innate Skill and if their Racial Rank increses they gain another one and they grow, in general, much faster. Monsters with an Unrelated Innate Skill of D-Rank or more, can Evolve in a superior variant. Or at least that is what I was told by my previous Master, who himself wasn¡¯t alive during the last one.¡± Luna, while Edgar was explaining, Shaped a Mana Dagger and cut her own palm, carefully not to shed her own blood while still taking damage before nodding to herself. The next step was obvious, she converted her own Hunger in to Health to instantly regain it before converting Health in Hunger and continuing this circle of conversion until, 5 minutes later¡­ She smiled, condensing her Magicules while listening to Edgar continuing to explain. - 7/1 664 23:59 (Summer, Sunrise) It was the moment before the end of her first day as a Lunarian when all living being on the planet received a message. Status Total Magicules 1905 (IV) Stored Magicules 505 Racial: Lunarian E Magicules: 100/1k. (III) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner¡¯s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will slowly regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge is mostly subconscious. The owner will have increased resistance to both Dark and Curse Attributes, with a slight weakness to Light and Holy Attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 100 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have an increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, even if at this Rank it has no particular effect beyond the addition of their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. Unique: Singularity E Magicules: 1k/1k. (IV) A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any elemental magic of any type. However magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any element will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally limits on magical affinity, Mana control and conversion efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at this Rank will be that the increases in an elemental affinity will, instead, increases non-elemental affinity. Growth: Soul Harmony E Magicules: 100/1k. (III) This Skill denotes that the owner¡¯s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner¡¯s energy in general and both their growth speed and their potential. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules equal to the total Rank of all their other Skills. (New) Innate: Regeneration E #Lunarian Magicules: 100/1k. (III) This Skill denotes that the owner is able to passively and automatically generate and heal themselves using Vital Energy. In this case, however, this Skill function as an enhancement towards the healing caused by the nature of the owner as a Lunarian. (New) Innate: Blood Gift E #Lunarian Magicules: 100/1k. (III) This Skill notes the owner¡¯s affinity with Blood, healing and Vital Energy in general by allowing it to convert the first in the latter. However, this function as an enhancement to this process if, like in this case, the owner can already do such. Finally, if the previous situation is true, it allows the transfer of Vital Energy to heal others by allowing them to drink the User¡¯s Blood at a reduced efficiency, except in this case because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill and so the efficiency isn¡¯t lowered. Ability: Mana Control E This Skill enhance the efficiency and ease with which the owner can activate their own Mana Core and the control they have on their Mana. Additionally this Skill will slightly increase their Mana capacity. Ability: No Attribute Sorcery E This Skill denotes the ease and ability with which the owner uses No Attribute Sorcery increasing the owner non-elemental affinity and the Power of No Attribute Sorceries. No Attribute Sorcery is based upon the use of Mana untainted by any attribute within the owner¡¯s body and without any chant, magical circle or other similar ways based entirely on the owner¡¯s willpower. Ability: Mana Shaping E This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to shape Mana outside their body throught willpower alone. This Skill enhance additionally the Power of the owner¡¯s Shapes and the control of their Mana. The process by which Mana Shapes are made depends on the owner¡¯s control of their Mana, this Skill and the Skill and magical affinity in a type of sorcery from which the shape is formed dealing damage based on it. In this case, however, the Mana efficiency derived by the owner¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± is such that all Mana Shape are transparent except for their outline. Ability: Spear Technique E This Skill denotes the ability of the owner with a spear or similar armaments and increases the Power of Techniques used with a spear. Ability: Knife Technique E This Skill denotes the ability of the owner with a knife or similar armaments and increases the Power of Techniques used with a knife. Ability: Bow Technique E This Skill denotes the ability of the owner with a bow or similar armaments and increases the Power of Techniques used with a bow and an arrow as projectile. Ability: Unharmed Technique E This Skill denotes the ability of the owner without the use of a weapon or with only fist-type weapons and increases the Power of Techniques used with their own body.

It¡¯s more effective with an heavy weapon. (New) Mana Forge: Stats Enhancement #Mana_Control #Singularity #No_Attribute_Sorcery #Mana_Forging This Enhancement has the simple function to increases all the basic attributes of an object, physical and magical caratteristics. Magicules sources. #Lunarian #Singularity A process to convert 100 leters of Blood in Magicules, the number of which depends on the owner of said blood. The ammount of Magicules gained is equal to 100 plus the total ammount of Magicules the former owner absorbed. This process is 1 hour long every 100 leters of Blood to convert them, with a 10% conversion efficiency, however with the combination of Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±, the time is instantaneous and the efficiency is of 100%, however this process kills the victim without a doubt. #Soul_Harmony A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank. E=1; D=3; C=5; B=7; A=10. At the moment the Owner possess 12 E-Rank Skills other than Soul Harmony and so, every day, the owner will gain 12 Magicules. Chapter 6 7/3 664 16:29 (Summer, Night) It was two days later. She already mastered the change in the rules that she lived throught. It was, after all, only natural for her to easily master herself. The funny thing is that, even with the loss of the stats, she was actually stronger than before. However, the more important thing was that, after her circle of Mana Forging, Recovery of Mana while studying and training both her Regeneration and Blood Gift, training with her various combat Skills, drinking tasty blood to recover faster and Mana forging again, it finally happened. It was finally time to start in earnest. Before such, however, she needed to Cast a Spell in specific and so she went to the inner garden of the Mansion. She Casted a Mana Shape: Bow and then a Mana Shape: Arrow. She prepared to fire it, but before that, she used her new D-Rank Skill, Mana Forge on the Arrow with, not the No Attribute Sorcery Stat Enhancement, but the No Attribute Sorcery Mana Burst. The result was an Arrow that, once within a target, released a burst of Mana, destroying it. She went back to the Vampire who had a complicated expression on his face, asking for the next step for the creation of her own Unique Arma. ¡°Very well. Let¡¯s get you started for it right away.¡± Having said that, Edgar guided her back towards the hidden laboratory to an empty bowl. He then took a sphere of Orichalcum with a 1 cm radius out of his Dimensional Ring and indicated her to near it. ¡°The next step is simple. You need to personally activate this Magic Item with your own Mana and keep it active as long as you can. It will consume 1 Mana every second and it will be completed when it will have absorbed 250.000% of your total Mana. Additionally, you will need to fill this bowl with your blood at the start of every session and it will need to be higher that this ammount. At least, that was the situation before the change in rules.¡± He indicated towards the line that marked the minimum ammount of blood. Her expression, that became more and more deadpan as the explanation proceeded, showed what she thought about it. ¡°Is it really worth it? Because, frankly, I doubt it can be worth the effort.¡± ¡°Well, it is the minimum ammount of Orichalcum you can use and so it is the maximum difficulty, but I suppose if it is too difficult for you¡­¡± ¡°You can not manipulate me so easily. The challenge is not my problem with this procedure, my problem is if all of this is worth the ammount of time it will consume when I could simply train and hunt down enemies to kill and grow stronger.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry to say, but it is. It will give you a perfect armament that will grow stronger with you for the rest of your life.¡± ¡°Fine, whatever. Let¡¯s start already.¡± She neared the bowl before he placed the sphere of Orichalcum in the center of the bowl and so she cut her palm causing her blood to slowly fill it. Upon this, Edgar jumped back, covering his nose and eyes and turning his back to her, leaving the room and leaving a Ghoul behind to speak with her in his stead. She rolled her eyes before, once enough blood mixed with her own Vital Energy was accumulated in the bowl, starting to power it with her own Mana, the crimson liquid starting to slowly boil and concentrating, needing to continue filling it as the power agonizingly slowly condensed within the Orichalcum. It was terribly boring work. Finally, after a little more than two minutes, she ran empty of Mana and so the first session concluded, with the remaining blood slowly evaporating in a red mist. She sighed exhausted. 7/10 11:39 (Summer, Day) It was a good seven days later, but finally she succeeded. After seven days of expending all of her own Mana, regaining it while studying as much as she could with Edgar¡¯s help and finally expending her Mana all over again, she was done. And her prize was now before her, a small pearl two centimeters of radius, that looked now like a sphere made of liquid darkness that was somehow perfectly solid. She took it and looked through it finding it to be, somehow, transparent in the right angle while from another being like an hole on reality. She smiled before opening her mouth and swallowing it whole. Her smile, growing even further at this message, exploded in laughter as she freely expressed her relief at being finally done. She was finally done! After a whole 7 minutes of laugher, she finally stopped. ¡°I¡¯m not doing something like that ever again. At least not for months.¡± ¡°Well, you certainly shouldn¡¯t need to anytime soon, but just in case¡­¡± Without any hesitation he took the bowl and inserted it in the ring too before, after thinking about it a while, inserting most of the room in along with it. A sigh escaped her as she decided to activate her new Skill, forming a glove covering her right hand. This glove was principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist. ¡°Quite small to be armor, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Well, after all, it grows with both its own Skill Rank and your Unique Skill Rank, so¡­ it will grow, I suppose. At E-Rank the effect is passive and always active, but at higher Ranks it will need to be active. At even higher Ranks, it will have a further transformation to activate.¡± He indicated towards his own Unique Arma, a pair of glasses with the lenses made of a small layer of Orichalcum and a frame composed of a dark and opaque material. ¡°Well, I will see in the future, now¡­ I waited way too much, it¡¯s time to kill something.¡± Edgar sighed before smiling wryly. ¡°I suppose so. Thanks for your patience.¡± At this words a smug smile was on her face. He sighed before nodding towards a nearby Ghoul who started guiding her towards the previous carriage. 7/10 12:30 (Summer, Day) They found themselves before the cave they already explored finding only a couple of Goblins at E-Rank there comunicating between themselves. She didn¡¯t hesitate to end the fight before it could even begin. ¡°Hard Strike¡± Before they could even react she moved and punched one of them straight in their back, her hand coated in red energy, releasing a Mana Burst and knocking it outside of the fight for the foreseeable future instantly before, a Mana Bow Forged with Stats Enhancement in her right hand clad in her Unique Armament and a Mana Arrow Mana Forged with Mana Burst her left hand, she turned towards the other Goblin, before releasing her Arrow, itself clad in red energy. Royal Road is the home of this novel.

She took the now headless Goblin and thrusted her fangs in its neck drawing in its blood and its Soul before doing the same with the other one. And finally she gained another Innate Skill. The next step was even simpler. 100 Magicules condensed in her new Innate Skill increasing her power even more and the Goblin that was trying to sneak attack her was stabbed in its heart with a Mana Sword in her left hand, before the weapon was Dispelled and a second Mana Sword in her right hand was swung, severing the top of its head to then bringing its neck towards herself and finally killing it too. She smiled before moving on, there were no more Goblins in the area and so she moved back towards the carriage, the Goblin¡¯s corpses being burned behind her. ¡°The amount of magicules I gained is even lower than before and, even if only slightly, they are actually stonger, even if it doesn¡¯t seem like it considering so am I... Hm, what is the next place?¡± ¡°¡­In this Island, the Miasma is particularly scarce, so there is a low number of Monsters and their Rank in is average low. Not only that, but before and after Red Moons, Monsters are hunted as much as possible to render the place the safest it can be. Most Monsters, 10 days after a Red Moon are extinct only to be reborn from Miasma at a basic level, later. But there should be a Monster that would function as a proper challenge for you. A challenge that could kill you even if you are carefull.¡± ¡°Hoh? Now I am interested. What is it?¡± ¡°It originally was a Mad Bear at E-Rank that increased in Rank during this Red Moon gaining a defensive Innate Skill. It additionally Evolved recently.¡± ¡°I see. What is its Rank, D or C?¡± ¡°D-Rank, for now at least. If it was actually an active threat an emergency Hunt would be called to subjugate it. However, with the fact that the rules changed, its power may be too much for you.¡± ¡°Hoh? Now, I am curious. The new rules render everything easier, both in direct power and in growth speed, both throught training and living. The fact that in ten 10 days, it was able to reach from a new D-Rank to almost C-Rank is already impressive. However, they also render everything less bound from the rules of Rank.¡± Silence stretched between them before, with a sigh, he continued, his eyes closed, as they started the journey towards her new target. ¡°I want you to be D-Rank before you leave the Island.¡± ¡°Makes sense. What is my next destination once I leave?¡± ¡°I must know nothing about it. Do not tell me nor anyone else within this island. You just need to choose a Port that isn¡¯t in the nation of Astrar. That is the nation where the Iriblades are now. I will give you a magical item to hide your presence and you will take a boat that would go in a port there, the moment travels throught seas will restart.¡± ¡°I see. Very well. I will choose my next step alone in my room once we are done here.¡± - 7/10 15:13 (Summer, Sunset) As the Sun was slowly falling behind the horizon, Luna found herself before her target, a beast that, as they already knew, was not a Mad Bear anymore, but was instead a type of four-legged Drake covered in dark brown scales, without any horns nor wings, that surpassed three meters in height at the shoulder, two meters and a half in width and a length of over five meters. Even with it being with four paws on the ground, it was almost double her own height with her needing to look up to meet its eyes. As she beholded her first real opponent, she smiled, a savage glint in her eyes as she opened and closed her hands ready to at any moment start Shaping a weapon. The two beings that enjoyed the blessing of a Red Moon within the small island were preparing to start the battle of their lifes up to this point. As laugher escaped the Lunarian, her right hand clad by her own Unique Arma and transparent shapes materializing within it, and the mouth of the Earth Drake started glowing of a red light, magma cooling in lava starting to fall, drop by drop, from its mouth as it roared in challenge; the two started their fight, an almost solid sphere of lava meeting in the middle of the twenty five meters between them with a Mana Arrow enchanted with Mana Burst, the two projectile exploding, as the two were running in to kill and devour their opponent.

(III) (New) Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity E #Singularity Magicules: 100/1k. (III) A person is considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether it is active or not. This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types. This armament is able to strenghten both its owner¡¯s existence and their Spell, Technique and Crafting by increasing the ammount of Energy in them without actually using any automatically. Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. This Skill manifests for the moment as a glove principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist. At this Rank, there is no difference between it being manifested or not. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules depending on this and the corresponding¡¯s Unique Skill Ranks.

Chapter 7 7/10 15:14 (Summer, Sunset) The two didn¡¯t hesitate. A swing of a Mana Sword enhanced with Stats Enhancement from her right hand was blocked by its left paw, the barrier around it flickering slightly as the damage was negated, and she found herself having to dodge its retaliatory swipe from its right paw by jumping back, 3 Mana Arrows being launched from the air above where she was. It jumped forward, dodging two of them and following her, the third being able to destroy its barrier, as magma started to accumulate within its maw. A stomp from its right paw was dodged left only to find herself before its maw, the vaguely spherical mass of lava being released almost at point blank range at her. A two meters tall and one and a half meters large rectangular shield was Shaped before her out of her own Mana, blocking the blast, before she rolled underneath its following bite to then cut its leftmost back paw with a Mana Knife, before leaving from beneath it, a Mana Greatsword falling on its back, causing, however, only a cut on its side as it dodged most of it. She nodded to herself. This was too inefficient. She spent a lot of her own Mana and its Vital Energy was proceding to slowly heal the damage. The reason was simple. Her own Skill Rank in both Mana Shaping and Singularity is too low for herself to combat it like her past self would. She nodded to herself before starting to move her own Mana within her body as she moved towards it, his barrier already fully restored in the breaf seconds in the lull of their fight. She jumped over its swipe from its left hand, jumping from it over its biting head before, once over it, she punched down, her right fist clad in her Unique Arma, Vital Energy and Mana releasing in tandem with the blow. ¡°Heavy Strike.¡± This blow was enough to shatter its barrier before the following attack was dodged at the last moment, its tail striking in her side sending her crashing throught a tree before she quickly converted some blood she stored during this last 10 days in Vital Energy to instantly heal most of her damage, leaving the rest to heal of its own. During this, however, he had enough time for it to charge another lava blast where she just was, dodged by her creating a Mana Spear to launch herself away to then hook herself with its point to a branch, to land on another one, her eyes examinating her opponent that was charging another one of its lava breath. ¡°Fast Shot.¡± A Mana Bow in her left arm, she launched a Mana Arrow clad in her red energy and enhanced with Mana Burst. Differently from their first exchange, the arrow burst the lava ball less than a meter away from it, damaging it slightly before its barrier went up again. However the newly-reborn Drake didn¡¯t hesitate. It charged her tree, its eyes covered by a trasparent coating of scales, as it sent it and the nearby ones flying. She, however, was not on it anymore as she jumped above it before falling down on it, her leg clad in red energy. ¡°Heavy Strike.¡± Its barrier was damaged, but she moved away, dodging a strike from its tail. She needed to save as much of her own Mana as possible while continuing to destroy its barrier and inflicting damage. Without a doubt, this will be fun. A smile on her face, she launched herself at it again, punching on its side of the head before crossing her arms to block a retaliatory strike from its left paw being sent flying away again, its barrier destroyed for the third time in this battle. As the two obserbed each other the barrier around it was rebuilt. ¡°I see.¡± She thought aloud. ¡°Your barrier is passive and completely automatic, isn¡¯t it. You don¡¯t need to think about it nor spend either Mana or Vital Energy¡­ I understand now why you were able to reach this level of power so fast. I¡¯m impressed.¡± Her smile, enlarging until her fangs shone in the light of the ending sunset, remaned even when the D-Rank Ghoul that accompanied her neared slightly, preparing to intervene at any moment. Two Mana Arrows formed above her right and left shoulder being sent towards her enemy, a third in her left hand already being nocked in her Mana Bow and following the others. When it was about to dodge her arrows, the first two exploded prematurely, distracting it from the third that shattered its barrier by bursting too and opening it to the fourth arrow, clad in red that burst against it damaging and further opening it to a swing of a Mana greatsword clad in red energy too. Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. This was the first real damage he received since its evolution and so he roared its rage and hatred, the temperature around it increasing greatly as its Mana went berserk turning the ground around it into lava and solid rocks. The Lunarian found herself having to dodge from rock to rock, the trees in the clearing burning and falling in the lava, and the rocks in the surface periodically being submerged to break her footing as it charged a giant mass of lava in its mouth. She didn¡¯t hesitate and charged a Mana Arrow straight in said mass, making it explode in its face covering the rock around it and stunning it even more giving her enough time. ¡°Heavy Piercing Shot.¡± This technique was not Activated using a simple Mana Bow and Arrow, but a Mana Bow whose branches were each almost 1 meter and a half and an arrow that was instead a slightly modified Mana Spear using a combination of Heavy Thrust and Piercing Shot to deal as much damage as efficiently as possible before the area would become actively harmful to her. The arrow, if so it could be defined, traveled towards its still stunned target before stabbing it in the left shoulder instead of its head as it was able to dodge at the last second, turning a lethal blow in merely a crippling one, as its arm fell off because of the detonation of said arrow. Before she could celebrate her first use of a combined technique, she found herself having to jump towards another rock as her previous one was quickly drowned beneath a wave of lava as this blow, instead of enraging it further, allowed the Earth Drake to calm down its destructive instinct and guide them more effectively. It was not growling or snarling anymore nor considering her with the same natural pride as before. She was not a challenging prey nor a somewhat strong meal as it reguarded her initially. Neither was she an inferior being that dared to challenge and hurt it as it thought before. She was now a hated enemy to destroy. But she was strong and so it would need to go all out without any thought running throught its head, but her death. Luna smiled as she correctly guessed her opponent¡¯s thought as the night began to cover the sky over them, the Moon starting to rise and the ground illuminated by the molten rock flowing on the surface. The Ghoul, remembered by neither of the two adversary, merely made distance with the lava while preparing various Spell to end the fight if necessary. The battle restarted, a wave of lava being dodged by jumping on another rock only for that rock, while she was still in midair, to fall in the lava beneath them making it so she would have suffered the same fate. Without any hesitation she formed briefly a small circular platform of Mana before using as a stepping stone to jump over the platform and towards one still on the surface, a Mana arrow flying not towards the Drake, but its platform, trying to make it fall in the lava to damage it. It noted this fact and, for the first time since it changed the area around them, jumped at her to fight her physically, its pride destroyed in favor of a more pragmatic and combat effective mentality. The fight between the two would finally proceed to the second phase, with the Moon and the Ghoul controlled by Edgar as the only observers. The bite was dodged and so was the swing of its remaining frontal paw while her own swing was dodged too. Its following release of lava was not a sphere like the ones at the start of the battle neither was it an almost solid beam of magma like the one he was charging before, but was instead a simple, but a fast release of lava that forced her to vacate the now melting platform. Before it could follow up on the assault, it found itself having to dodge a Mana arrow. The Earth Drake roared, a scream that resonated with the flow of lava that instantly solified a larger platform of lava around it while all other rocks fall beneath the surface, Luna finding herself having to remain standing on a small platform of Mana, high above it. The two opponents studied each other, the battlefield a 50 meters large wasteland of lava that was causing a fire around it, with a ten meters large solid rock platform, the air full of smoke and volcanic ash and the two opponent studing each other, one above said platform and the other on a small one made entirely out of Mana, the distance between the two of around 35 meters counting the difference between their relative heights. One consistant of an enormous Earth Drake whose right front leg was starting to regenerate and the other a Lunarian looking down on her favorite opponent yet. All the while the Moon watched on from high above, from the now night sky. Status Total Magicules 2340 (IV) Stored Magicules 828 Racial: Lunarian E Magicules: 100/1k.

This attack was dodged at the last second as it jumped aside, its eyes seeking the threat and making sure to keep her in its vision. She, in response, moved towards its left minimazing the threat of her opponent as much as possible as its left arm was still in the process of regenerating slowly throught Vital Energy, depleting slowly its reserves. Differently from it, however, she had more than enought time to simply regain all of her own Vital Energy during this fight and her own Mana returned to around 75% thanks to her own Unique Arma that allowed her to use less Mana while still being able to deal damage even with its now fully riformed barrier and its scales. The two were on the platform now, face to face and ready for battle as evident by the swing from the Earth Drake¡¯s tail as its mouth spewed forth only for it to be a distraction for a strike from its right arm sending her straight towards the lava only for her to create a Mana platform to jump back on the rock platform, two Mana arrows being launched in before her to distract it from her as they collided with the platform and forcing it to maintain it stable and allowing her to return on the platform already swinging a Mana greatsword at it, blocked with its completely regenerated left arm, its barrier tanking the hit. A smile on her face her greatsword exploded, destroying its barrier, and she swung up with a Mana sword clad in Vital Energy colliding with one of the claws of its right arm, being knocked back only for the rock beneath her to vanish forcing her to jump over the swing of its right arm, using it as a stepping stone to jump behind it dodging its tail and striking it in the back with a Mana spear clad in red. The differences between the two were clears. While it regenerated Mana faster than she herself did, it regained Vital Energy so slowly that it didn¡¯t matter in combat she, even with its larger reserves of both, was in an advantage even if she was physically inferior. After all, differently from true Dragons this process to convert the terrain around it costs exactly the same ammount of Mana it would regenerate and it didn¡¯t master this move enought to pull back the range to lower its cost. Additionally she had no need for breathing and so the smoke didn¡¯t interfere with her and neither was she affected by heat of this level, so long as she didn¡¯t fall directly in the lava. And so, even if she was weaker than her opponent, she was actually in a much better situation. So much so that she decided to experiment a little. First she enhanced her existence with Mana and then she did the same with Vital Energy cycling them within her body until they mixed together, causing a purple aura to manifest around her. This would have been immensely harder with the previous rules, but thanks to their increased flexibility, her own nature as an energetic Singularity and her being a Lunarian, it was possible at her level of Power to fuse together Mana and Vital Energy into what was unoriginally called Vital Mana. She moved matching and exceding its speed and punching it directly in the side as it was turning against her releasing a burst not of Mana, but of Vital Mana sending it crashing away from the platform and into the lava. It was an Earth Drake and so the lava, especially that it conjured itself, would deal reduced damage, but reduced is not nullified and it had no esperience on swimming and so it found itself forced to make a new rock platform while melting down the previous one consuming even more Mana and Vital Energy. She looked down on it, safely on a Mana platform, a Mana bow in her right hand and a Mana arrow in her left, already nocked and clad in purple. The arrow was launched as she had no more need to chant the name of her techniques or spells at this point. The arrow was stopped by a wall of lava, but the second one wasn¡¯t, hitting it in the paw and wounding it before the barrier regenerated. The former Mad Bear¡¯s situation was certaintly dangerous. Not only was almost 60% of its Mana spent, but its Vital Energy was only at less than 30% and falling slowly as it healed the damage it just occurred. If it wasn¡¯t for its barrier it would have already spent it all only to then die a little time later. She nodded to herself before cutting her left hand letting her blood cloak her Mana greatsword enhancing it greatly as she fell on it cutting throught its barrier and burying it throught its spine before detonating, forming an hole one and a half meter wide. She found herself jumping away, most of her left forearm destroyed by its retaliatory explosion of lava, a muffled scream ripped from her troat, before her Vital Energy quickly regenerated her arm. The battle was in the final phase now. Its Vital Energy may be able to keep it alive for now, but this would quickly change as its reserve was dropping quickly. It would die. Its death was now certain. The terrain returned to the normal one, lava quickly cooling down in rock and the smoke and ash dissipating slowly from around them. It fell down, its legs incapable of holding it anymore. Luna walked up to the Earth Drake, a Vital Mana sword enhanced with her own blood in her right hand. The two observed each other, their eyes meeting without any hesitation, before the young Lunarian rose her hand holding the sword and it thrusted throught its head, killing the D-Rank Monster. She held its head before thrusting her fang in its neck, sucking the whole of its blood in an instant. She smiled before condensing the Magicules, 900 in ¡°Lunarian¡± and 100 in her new Skill ¡°Bood Forging.¡± Before sitting cross legged in the middle of the cooling rocks entering in her Soul, more specifically within the world of her Racial Skill. It was different from before. Said world was still a shining Moon with a sky of liquid yet solid blood and the earth in the distance. However she moved in the equivalent of the Moon¡¯s dark side where, instead of a Moon made of white light, it was made entirely out of shadow. She stepped in the shadows, sinking deep in them, finding herself before 9 shades, the 7 E-Rank Goblins, the D-Rank Goblin and the newcomer Earth Drake. Without hesitation, she exercized her authority on them, rendering the two D-Rankers her familiars and sending the E-Ranked ones in the cycle of reincarnation of the Moon. The choice of Skills of theirs to concentrate on was obvious, Third Eye of Physicality and Imperial Scale. ¡°Your name is now Vision¡± she nodded towards the more humanoid shadow. ¡°And yours is Warden.¡± she nodded towards the four-legged one, while nodding to herself, unaware of her own terrible naming sense. The two were now made of shadows and their outline and eyes made of red light. She nodded to herself before leaving the Skill World and waking up in the real world, her Unique Arma now covering most of her right forearm. Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. ¡°Well, D-Rank obtained. When will the ships return to travel?¡± ¡°In less than 5 days they are supposed to.¡± ¡°Very well. But before that¡­¡± She rose her hand and cut it, letting her blood flow out controlled by her Vital Energy in the shape of a sword. She nodded before doing the same with her own Mana controlling shadows. She nodded to herself again before deciding to process with the next step. If with Vital Energy she could now actively control her own blood and with Mana she could manipulate and solidify shadows, what about with Vital Mana? The result was before her, a sword made entirely out of black blood, entirely liquid, while being at the same time, entirely solid. She smiled happily before proceding to the final step of this test. A test that thanks to Singularity was more than a success. A blade that was made by combining Mana Shaping, her control over blood and shadow, Vital Mana Fusion, Mana Forging and Blood Forging, a blade that she swung lightly without using any technique at a rock, cutting in two completely and without any resistance as if it was air. It was a blade that looked like black glass without any imperfections outlined by a small purple aura. She waited smiling as she felt no cost to sustain it thanks to her D-Rank Singularity and no need to think about it anymore as she demonstrated by indicating a faraway tree as the target and the shape, no longer held in her hand, but floating around her, pierced that tree and only that one, before returning to float around her thanks to the D-Rank in Mana Shape. A laugh escaped her as she dispelled it, satisfied for now. - 7/10 17:13 (Summer, Night) ¡°Do you know what is the difference between a Dragon and a Drake?¡± ¡°The most important one is that a Dragon is a Person while a Drake is a Monster. When it comes to ability the difference is large, but at the same time very small. The two of them will combat similar, but a Dragon is much more skilled. Additionally the process to convert the terrain is passive when it comes to changing the terrain. For example, a Fire Dragon will slowly convert a region in an hotter one to then gain Magicules from it while a Fire Drake could instead instantly convert it to gain an advantage during a fight for Mana. The second biggest difference is, however, that Dragons, all of them, have Soul Sight.¡± ¡°Correct. Do you know what it is?¡± ¡°As Phoenix have Heat Sight and Lunarian have True Sight when at C-Rank and above, Dragons have Soul Sight. The ability to see the Soul of all living beings.¡± ¡°Correct. Be careful around Dragons. The Growth Skill ¡°Soul Harmony¡± render our Souls incredibly attrattive to them. And Dragons tends to be quite possessives by nature. However, I have another question for you, if I can.¡± ¡°Go on.¡± ¡°Why do you trust what I say without much hesitation?¡± ¡°I see you don¡¯t know. Try to lie to me.¡± He shrugged before trying. No words escaped his mouth, even after a couple of minutes of trying. ¡°The rapport between a Lunarian and a Vampire is the same as the one between an Ancestor and a Ghoul. The scale is Lunarian, Ancestor, Vampire and Ghoul. At one step you must obey direct orders. At two steps you cannot cosciounsly or not, harm the higher one. Three steps? Your will is dependant entirely on the higher one, to the point that if I were to order a Ghoul to see the sky as green, this Ghoul will see the sky green, independently of anything else.¡± ¡°I see. I understand now.¡± ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want my blood to become an Ancestor?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure. I¡¯m not a fighter. It would be a waste and a danger for you.¡± ¡°Very well.

She was flying with wings shaped out of Vital Mana, blood and shadows, both Mana and Blood Forged, with 5 weapons made the same way constantly swinging around her and changing shape while her two familiars were training themselves. Vision was shaped as a humanoid mass of shadows, 1 meter tall, with a red outline and three shining red eyes while Warden was four-legged, 75 centimeters tall at the shoulders, around 1 and a half meter long and with a 1 meter long tail. While she was praticing how to fly she was also shooting down her weapons, shattering the barriers that Warden was Casting while Vision was observing the two of them and praticing with another of the weapon Casted by Luna, constantly changing shape in its hand. The Lunarian¡¯s eyes, all the while, were closed as she watched through the eyes of her Familiars alone. One of Edgar¡¯s Ghoul was watching said training, more specifically the Ghoul that followed her in her battle against the Earth Drake five days prior. And the progress of its temporary charge was without question from the previous her. Without a doubt the beings in D-Rank equal to her would be few. But with the new rules, they could certainly exist. It nodded before calling out to Luna as Edgar comunicated throught it. ¡°The earliest boat will start in an hour so it¡¯s time to prepare.¡± Luna sighed before nodding to herself, her wings beat slowly, lowering her to the ground before all her Shapes and her Familiars were Dispelled before following the Ghoul back to the Mansion. The island¡¯s port connected to the ports of four different countries: one in Astrar, three in both Midrar and Higrar, a grand total of five in Lowrar and four in Terrar, split in total between the two nearby landmassess of the eight major ones. Her choice was one of the three in Midrar. Specifically the highest one in Midrar and her ship will depart around 6:00. Not that she would need a lot of time to prepare. Already all that she would need was already given her in her new ring necklace and additionally she had no need for baths as she would not be dirty nor would she sweat. Neither was sleep a requirement for her, even if she sometimes did for her own enjoyment. Once she returned to her room, she quickly changed before grabbing a Magical Item shaped like a mantle that she clad herself in, with the intention not of hiding her presence, thing that would not be possible considering her own Vital Mana and her lacking ability in hiding in the first place. No, the mantle had a simple effect, that of suppressing her impression on others. ¡°A work of art, right? I made it using a Unique Skill of one of my Ghouls as inspiration. Like the other Magical Items I gave you. That you are not wearing. Nor do you plan to either¡­¡± A sigh escaped him at that, thing she must have found fun as she laughted at that, a small smile on her face. Not that her eyes showed any amusement in it. ¡°You are terrible at showing emotion. Even with all the training we did for it.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about. I think I am great at it.¡± Another sigh escaped him as he waved her goodbye. A wave she reciprocate as this will be the last time they would meet in this life as he would probably die within the month. Finally after hours of waiting, hidden by the Magical Item, she sneak in one of their free rooms, fact that was quite easy considering that not even half of the rooms were occupied in said boat, as she prepared for her long voyage, starting to meditate on her previous self, after all she should train as much as possible and only within her body is she hidden. - 7/20 19:32 (Summer, Night) It was swimming. It was hunting. Large wooden vessels had a lot of prey. It found a boat. It stopped. Upon it stood the Moon. It recently recieved its Blessing as it become C-Rank, gaining greater feeling. It would spare that vessel this time as thanks to the Moon. It continued to swim hunting for another one. - 7/21 8:51 (Summer, Day) ¡°Are you still pouting.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not pouting, witch. I¡¯m just waiting.¡± ¡°Are you still mad that we didn¡¯t start to travel immeditially? Must I remember you that the reason we are late is because the mission was longer than predicted because of the change in the Rules of the world?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need your consolation.¡± ¡°Ah yes, right, you are not pouting. You are just gloomly watching the horizon to seek land while holding a photo. Silly me.¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± ¡°No.¡± A grumble escaped the red-haired beautiful Half-Elf, wearing a ranger¡¯s attire and an ornate bow. The winner of this exchange wearing a smug grin was a witch specialized in the Water Attribute and she felt right at home in the boat, even if she was only C-Rank and the other was B-Rank. From the back, a black-haired Human swordsman was watching the exchange, a shepish expression on his face as he was talking with the vice-captain. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for the unprofessional way in which my team is acting.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. With 2 B-Rank and 3 C-Rank adventurers, a little bit of that is no worry. Especially considering that the cost of the escort is just the travel.¡± ¡°I thank you for your generosity.¡± ¡°No need to be so humble, boy. The fact that you are B-Rank at your age is worthy of merit. Well, I will join my captain. If you have any question¡­¡± ¡°I will ask for you, don¡¯t worry.¡± At his nod, the vice-captain left with a smile on his face while a short Dwarf joined him also watching the two other members of their team. ¡°So, how is she doing?¡± She indicated towards the red-head, near the brown-haired witch. This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. ¡°Well, soon she should feel better. You know how it is with her.¡± ¡°The fact that she is an unstable¡­ How did you call her that one time? Ah, yes, an unstable obsessive siscon yandere.¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t call her that. However, this should be the last of that Vampire¡¯s safe houses.¡± ¡°Well, yeah. The sooner we find her, the better.¡± At that the fifth member of their team joined them to watch Marine continue to annoy and act smug at Azure, a soft smile on his face like he was watching two children play. ¡°Your previous world certantly was useful to make interesting comments on other people.¡± He half complimented and half reprimanded both of them. ¡°You know how it is¡­¡± ¡°I know. But she certaintly made a lot of progress from before.¡± ¡°I know right. Now she just threatens to shoot someone first instead of shooting them and then threatening them.¡± At the deadpan delivery of the Dwarf, both the Human and the Elf could do nothing more than softly laugh at this true fact. ¡°Well, you know. Everyone has their own flaws. But she did reach B-Rank first in this team and I have the advantage of both early training and the memories of my past life to support me .¡± ¡°Fine. However-¡± Before she could finish the phrase, the Half-Elf interrupted them. ¡°Enemy incoming! It is underwater!¡± At the advise the whole team focused instantly without any hesitation nor fear preparing to the fight. The water was still, there was no trace of movement nor any Monster was visible yet none of them doubted its esistance. A couple minutes later, it emerged. It was a light blue C-Rank Water Drake, shaped like an aquatic snake and with vivid red eyes watching its prospective meal and instantly attacking by releasing a mass of water at high speed towards them. The Elf, Klevel, didn¡¯t hesitate conjuring a shining golden Magical Circle before the blast to block it while at the same Marine stepped in controlling the water around them, Shaping them like blades and sending them against the Drake scoring some light scratches on it. Meanwhile, none of the others hesitated. Evan took his blade that, once it recognized as a target the Drake, started to emic electricity swinging it, releasing a wave of electricity towards it while the Dwarf, Fora, took position between Klevel and Marine, ready to defend either of them at a moment notice. Upon seeing the element the sword released, Azure nocked an arrow, locked as the Target, throught her own Unique Arma, the Drake and shot it high in the sky. Upon it, electricity condensed before a lightning bolt fall. It was able to dodge at the last second however said bolt twisted in mid air, following it and striking its barrier, destroying it. Before it could react it found itself bound as the water around it formed chains to stop it. However it roared, the chains shattering uselessy if not for both Evan and Azure attacking in the brief moment it was stopped, an arrow composed of electricity impacting its barrier and destroying it again while it hastily dodged a blade made of lightning. This assault seemed to be over only for the first arrow the red-head shot at the start to fall on it, piercing throught its scale and damaging it as it roared in pain, the water starting to push the boat away from the naval route. The only people remaining on the bridge of the boat were the Iriblades as all other people already retreated, protected by the barrier common in boats. Additionally the crew members were already in their battle position, to power the barrier and ready to support the B-Ranked Party as much as possible as its power in this place was equivalent to B-Rank. The cannons of the ship fired against the Drake that was able to dodge them. However, this opened it to an attack from both Evan and Azure, one slashing and the other piercing it with an arrow, dealing heavy damage before its Vital Energy repaired the damage. ¡°Let¡¯s see if I can¡¯t help. Blessing of Existence.¡± The Cleric Casted an Holy Attribute Spell to Enhance another person only for his staff to take it in and Casting said Spell on all of his Team enhancing all of them, instead. Marine concentrated on the enhancement before Casting a Spell in return, thanks to Klevel¡¯s Unique Arma¡¯s special ability. ¡°Life Link: Protection of the Blue.¡± By using the Blessing as the target for the Spell, she Casted on all those affected by the Spell. A slight layer of water was surronding them to protect and heal them. She wasn¡¯t the only one to do such as the rest of her team followed suit. ¡°Life Link: Burning Mantle.¡± ¡°Life Link: Spirit¡¯s Blessings.¡± ¡°Life Link: Attribute Enhancement.¡± The three Spells were activated, an aura of flames forming around all of them to further weaken all incoming damage from the Water Attribute while they were enhanced further both Spirit¡¯s Blessings and Attribute Enhancement, derived from Azure¡¯s Innate Skill, ¡°Blessing of the Spirits¡±, and from Evan¡¯s Unique Skill, ¡°Attribute Amplification¡±, both of them intensifying the previous boosts. In response the Water Drake roared furiously with its mouth already capable to devour a person whole, its Mana and Vital Energy being converted in pure destructive power as it roared, a multicolored aura around it forming an even bigger version of it, its power increasing sharply as the sea battered even more against the 25 meters long boat. The two groups prepared to return to fighting, this time with much greater strength than their first round. Status *Luna Gained 600+114 Magicules. *Luna Gained 600+114 Magicules.

Familiars: Vision E Third Eye of Physicality Warden E Imperial Scale Chapter 10 7/21 9:38 (Summer, Day) A rain of Arrows coated in lightning fell upon the Drake only to be destroyed by tentacles made of water as it roared before releasing a stream of water from its mouth in response towards Azure only for her to dodge, an arrow already nocked in her bow. Marine controlled the water around it, slowing it down even if she could not stop its ability to manipulate water. Meanwhile Evan launched himself at the Drake, his blade wounding it through its aura, cleaving its scales before jumping over a platform made from solid water by Marine, dodging the swipe of its tail. This opening was not wasted as it gave enough time to Azure. ¡°Oh, Roaring Spirit, respond to my plea.¡± Upon this prayer, a mass of lightning formed in the shape of a vaguely humanoid figure floating around her, as spark started to fly around them as she rose her bow to the sky, clouds amassing overhead as the lightning around her was concentrated in her arrow. ¡°Fall, oh thunder, and strike down the enemy before me.¡± She launched the arrow high in the sky before a three meters wide lightning fell upon the False Dragon, being guided by her Unique Arma straight towards it. Upon seeing such, the Drake did not hesitate. It roared, its aura intensifying and mixing with the Barrier as water rose from the sea and forming various layers of shields to disperse as much of it as it could while expanding its territory to stop the barrier. The B-Rank Party observed the cloud of vapor obsuring their opponent before it roared in pain, showing itself. Most of its scale upon the top of its head were completely destroyed and its flesh burned as its eyes were exploded in its skull. Upon seeing such, Evan went in to end the fight before it could heal itself completely, his Unique Arma having a blade made of lightning, as he slashed through its brain using the fact it could not see anymore. Or at least, that was his plan as it dodged at the last second, being saved by its new Innate Skill, Extra-sensory Echo, retreating under the water. The Iriblades kept their guard up before, after a good 13 minutes of waiting seeming to relax. A couple of minutes after even that, the boat shook as it was attacked from below, waves of water attacking it in conjunction, trying to capsize it and all those on the vehicle. Fortunately, they already advised the staff of the boat to keep all other travelers safely hidden within the barrier if a Monster appeared until they signaled them, thing they hadn¡¯t done yet and they are sea-men by profession. Unfortunately, they found themselves having to improvise ways how to not fall in the water as falling in it with a Water Drake hunting them would be a death sentence. Hurriedly Klevel and Marine held onto Fora for dear life as she rose her hammer, the head directed towards the boat, before slamming it in and anchoring all three of them in place, manipulating gravity around them so that they would not move. Meanwhile Evan stayed stable by jumping and creating a platform of almost solid light under him while Azure just jumped, her feet landing on Fora¡¯s shoulder as she fired an arrow clad in water, precisely striking the Drake passing through the water without any resistance. The Drake rose from the sea, fully healed thanks to the time from its injury and most of its Vital Energy and Mana restored, before releasing a jet of water at high pressure towards Fora only for her to rise her Unique Arma and striking said jet, shattering it in drops of water that Marine quickly took over, shaping them in blades that cut it in various places. The swordman jumped in, the blade of his Unique Arma made of lightning again, slashing through its left eye before jumping away from its answering bite, a rain of arrow coated in lightning falling down upon it, shattering its barrier, followed by a single arrow, it too coated in sparks, piercing its scales and destroying its right eye. A roar of pain escaping it as it regenerated both eyes, both Evan and Azure landing back in the boat as Klevel was chanting as an enormous golden Magical Circle was being created slowly high in the sky above them, increasing in size as time passed. Marine restarted to weaken the Drake¡¯s control over water while both Evan and Azure prepared to distract the Monster before them. The battle restarted, the water continuosly attacking the barrier around the ship as Evan launched himself at the Drake releasing slashes made out of lightning as he went and Azure continuosly launching arrows to support the assault as it manipulated water around it as fast as it could to block the attacks while launching its own. It roared, the water rising around it forming not tentacles, but blade intent on ripping them to pieces and, without hesitation nor any problem dodged the attacks, before Azure prayed again. ¡°Oh, Flowing Spirit, respond to my plea.¡± A mass, this time made instead out of water, formed in the shape of a vaguely humanoid figure floating around her. ¡°Rise, oh water, and chain the enemy before me.¡± The plea was heard and obeyed as the sea rose in chains to immobilize it. ¡°How much time do you still need? After this I can¡¯t use Spirit Magic with Water Attribute for another hour or Lightning Attribute for another 20 minutes, so move it.¡± At her barking, Klevel merely sighed before continuing to pray in a tone barely above a murmur as the Magical Circle above them was slowly reaching full completition as the Witch started to weaken the Drake¡¯s attack against the chains to lenghten the time it will be stopped for. Meanwhile Evan was in place, his Mana and Vital Energy rising and being absorbed by his Unique Arma and his Unique Skill converted it in electricity while Fora posed her right hand on his back, her own Unique Skill amplifying its quantity and potency both. Finally it was able to break the chain around it and resurface only for the Magic Circle, now around 100 meters in range, to be completed and activated, generating a barrier around both the boat and the Drake, generating the biggest Spell he ever Casted. ¡°Holy Field.¡± This Spell, normally used to protects Temples and Churches by being linked to a Mana Capacitor, was Casted for the first time by a Person during a battle, being boosted by his Skills, his Staff and the lenght of his chant, and had a very simple function. The function was the weakening of all Monsters and the strenghtening of all People within it. Furthermore, thanks to his mastery of the Holy Attribute and his Unique Skill, Life Link, this barrier consumed the Water Drake¡¯s Mana and Vital Energy to maintain itself instead of the Caster¡¯s. This gave Evan enough time. ¡°Awaken!¡± The order was heard by her Unique Arma at B-Rank. His Unique Arma ceased to be material and become made completely out of iridescent energy that quickly become pure lightning. He rose the sword even further, stepped forward and swung releasing a slash made of lightning, using his Unique Skill to negate all possibilities of the attack being dodged. ¡°Lightning Fall Slash.¡± The Drake could only widen its eyes before it was cut in half, its parts falling apart before being taken in a Magical Ring by the Party to be sold afterwards by them. The journey restarted, even if thanks to the Drake, they will arrive even later, after all a lot of Mana was spent to protect the boat and so its speed would be quite reduced to make sure the barrier would still be up. At that information, Azure scowled to herself before returning to her room under the gaze of the rest of the Iriblades, to sulk while observing Her photo. - 7/24 22:31 (Summer, Night) *Luna Gained 600+123 Magicules. *Luna Gained 600+123 Magicules. *Luna Gained 600+123 Magicules. *Luna Gained the Ability Skill ¡°Artifact Proficiency.¡± *Luna Gained the Ability Skill ¡°Meditation.¡± *Luna Gained the Ability Skill ¡°Presence Suppression.¡± *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Vital Mana Authority¡± Rank increased to D-Rank. Luna smiled as her boat finally arrived in her destination. She quickly jumped from it before it could even stop, quickly hiding within the crowd. She smiled sneaking through the port before reaching the city itself, jumping high in the air and moving from rooftop to rooftop towards the protective walls around the city. Finally she passed the barrier around it and created a pair of Wings quickly flying where she thought nord was after storing away her Artifact. *Luna Gained 600+138 Magicules. She smiled as the day finally ended as shown by the fact she gained even more Magicules. Her objective was to move from Midrar to Higrar and use the fact that Gaea was a sphere to then pass briefly throught Terrar and then into Dunrar, a continent-spanning nation that is, more or less, made entirely of small city-states in a wilderness full of Dungeons. A Dungeon is a place, most of the time a cave, in which Miasma naturally gather in large quantities forcing the birth of many Monsters and their successive growth in power. An ideal place for her own growth, especially considering how the only rule there is the rule of power and she would not accept orders from any other. The fact that she ¡°obeyed¡± Edgar was caused merely by the fact that this was his dying wish and to thank him in her own way. There was, however, no need to grieve him. After all, as a Vampire his Soul would join the Moon in time, as it should. As the Sun was slowly rising she slowed down, searching a road that was going where she was before starting to run following it, unaware that she was already lost, Shapes being manifested and controlled around her before being dismissed. - 7/29 16:13 (Summer, Night) It was finally time. They finally arrived even with the delay caused by the Water Drake. Azure smiled, her Unique Skill, Blood Hunt, pointing her towards her target. Finally, she would find Her again. The rest of her Party was following her as she ran. They quickly found themselves within a mansion, their target, a white-haired human looking Vampire waiting for them, ready to battle, the barrier shut off to conserve as much Mana as possible for the fight.

Status Total Magicules 10476 (V) Stored Magicules 464 Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner¡¯s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased resistance to all attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill. Also at D-Rank you can now use Vital Energy to control your own Blood and Mana to control and shape shadows. Unique: Singularity D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any elemental magic of any type. However magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any element will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally limits on magical affinity, Mana control and conversion efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at this Rank will be that the increases in an elemental affinity will, instead, increases non-elemental affinity. At D-Rank, all sustain costs are negated and the stability of any construct made of energy is brought to the maximum. Growth: Soul Harmony D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill denotes that the owner¡¯s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner¡¯s energy in general and both their growth speed and their potential. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules equal to the total Rank of all their other Skills times 3. At D-Rank the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana well are further increased. Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) A person is considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether it is active or not. This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types. This armament is able to strenghten both its owner¡¯s existence and their Spell, Technique and Crafting by increasing the ammount of Energy in them without actually using any automatically. Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. This Skill manifests for the moment as two gloves covering up to most of the owner¡¯s forearm principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist. At this Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules depending on this and the corresponding¡¯s Unique Skill Ranks. Innate: Regeneration D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill denotes that the owner is able to passively and automatically generate and heal themselves using Vital Energy. In this case, however, this Skill function as an enhancement towards the healing caused by the nature of the owner as a Lunarian. At D-Rank this Skill also further increases the well of Vital Energy and Mana of the owner. Innate: Blood Gift D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill notes the owner¡¯s affinity with Blood, healing and Vital Energy in general by allowing it to convert the first in the latter. However, this function as an enhancement to this process if, like in this case, the owner can already do such. Finally, if the previous situation is true, it allows the transfer of Vital Energy to heal others by allowing them to drink the owner¡¯s Blood at a reduced efficiency, except in this case because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill and so the efficiency isn¡¯t lowered. Thanks to Vital Mana Authority, this Skill can transfer Vital Mana, Mana or Vital Energy to the target. At D-Rank this Skill further increases the speed at which Mana and Vital Energy are generated in the owner. Innate: Vampirism D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) A Skill that denotes someone¡¯s thirst for blood, both biologically and mentally. In someone who is not naturally vampiric, this Skill allows them to gain sustenance and some Magicules from Blood. However, in a natural vampiric being, it enhances the effects of said process slightly and further increases the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana Well. Additionally, in either cases, it allows the ability to sense Blood nearby. At D-Rank this Skill allows the owner to store objects and non-living beings within the owner¡¯s shadow. Innate: Blood Forging D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the ability to use the owner¡¯s blood to enhance an object beyond its limits.

It automatically fuses together Vital Energy and Mana within the owner and counts it as either parts with much higher efficiency, quality, control, quantity and recovery speed. Thanks to Singularity, the efficiency of the fusion of Vital Energy and Mana is set to a minimum of 100%. (New) At D-Rank, the potency of Vital Mana is increased further. Innate: Familiar Summoning E Magicules: 1k/1k (IV) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise. In this case, the number of Maximum Familiar is negated because of the owner being a Lunarian, so long as all Familiars are made by the Lunarian Skill, even if they still require Vital Energy and Mana to be Summoned. Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. Innate: Black Blood Manipulation E Magicules: 100/1k (III) This Skill shows the ability of the owner to fuse the shadow and the blood of the owner within and without the owner¡¯s body to create a black fluid that is considered as both blood and shadow.

The process by which Mana Shapes are made depends on the owner¡¯s control of their Mana, this Skill and the Skill and magical affinity in a type of sorcery from which the shape is formed dealing damage based on it. In this case, however, the Mana efficiency derived by the owner¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± is such that all Mana Shape are transparent except for their outline. At D-Rank Mana Shapes can now be considered as independent creations, no longer needing explicit mental commands. At C-Rank Mana Shapes can now be freely manipulated depending on Mana Control both in aspect and function.

Magicules sources. #Lunarian #Singularity #Vampirism A process to convert 100 leters of Blood in Magicules, the number of which depends on the owner of said blood. The ammount of Magicules gained is equal to 100 plus the total ammount of Magicules the former owner absorbed. This process is 1 hour long every 100 leters of Blood to convert them, with a 10% conversion efficiency, however with the combination of Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±, the time is instantaneous and the efficiency is of 100%, however this process kills the victim without a doubt. Additionally because of the Innate Skill ¡°Vampirism¡± the efficiency is further enhanced to 103%. #Soul_Harmony A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank times 3 every day. E=1; D=3; C=5; B=7; A=10. At the moment the Owner possesses, other than Soul Harmony: 5 E-Rank; 12 D-Rank Skills; 1 C-Rank Skills.

Familiars: Vision E Third Eye of Physicality Warden E Imperial Scale Chapter 11 7/29 16:13 (Summer, Night) Edgar didn¡¯t hesitate, linking himself with all of his surviving Ghouls, observing the battle from various location, while combat capable ones were in position depending on their role and abilities. The Mana Well formely powering the barrier was connected to every single one of them, ready to be used. Meanwhile, the other side of this battle was in position, Evan and Azure in front, Klevel and Marine in the middle and Fora in the back to guard their back and especially the last two. Evan was the first to speak. ¡°Should we start fighting now or do you prefer a dialogue first?¡± ¡°Oh? You speak of dialogue yet you are the one who destroyed my gate, entered without even asking and in a position ideal for fighting. Additionally, that one is barely holding herself back from a rampage, isn¡¯t she.¡± He nodded towards the Half-Elf, who as he was saying, was barely holding herself back from shooting arrows everywhere. Evan smiled slightly at this, his eyes observing the enemies around them, before responding calmly. ¡°You know how it is. Once someone is as enraged as she is, you can only be out of her way. But don¡¯t worry, if you sincerely answer to our question, your death will be much faster than otherwise.¡± ¡°Oh? No offering to leave me alive if I answer?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. This is already as much as I could compromise. Now, ¡± he turned towards the red-head, her eyes piercing through the Vampire before them. ¡°is she here?¡± A snarl on her face, she answered. ¡°No, She is not. Not even in this waste of an island. But maybe he knows where She is.¡± The air around her briefly sparked, her bow now trained on him. ¡°How curious. Who should I know the location of, pray tell?¡± A snarl on her face, Evan quickly interfered before the negotiations would break down right there and then. ¡°We are seeking someone you took.¡± ¡°Oh? I don¡¯t remember taking anyone so important that a B-Ranked Party would hunt my Master and all of his Servants.¡± Her snarl worsened further, her left hand already holding an arrow, her intent clear. ¡°Her name is Scarlet!¡± Silence stretched between them, as Edgar actually and actively observed Azure finally understanding. ¡°I have no idea who you are talking about.¡± For the first time in the manor, Klevel intervined. ¡°You are lying. You may be a couple of centuries old, yet you are still younger than me and a much worse liar than even many children. You know exactly who she is and probably even where she is.¡± ¡°I see¡­ I didn¡¯t think that a man of the faith would be so well-versed in lying, but it seems I was wrong. However, you don¡¯t doubt she is alive at all¡­ I see, I understand. Your Unique Skill¡­¡± he nodded towards the archer. ¡°You can only find people by using their blood. And you cannot ¡°hunt¡± her by using your own blood, can¡¯t you?¡± Silence fell between the two sides before being interrupted. ¡°However, I am quite disappointed in you. Even now when you should be in your early twenties, you are still inferior to your sister when she was fifteen, even with your special weapons.¡± He closed his eyes as if grieving. However, this taunt didn¡¯t land the way he expected. ¡°Obviously. She is the best after all.¡± This response was certaintly unexpected for him, but none of her party reacted at it. After all, they knew very well how much Azure worshipped her sister. Yes, worshipped was the correct term for it. She didn¡¯t look up to her as a big sister, but she worshipped her as someone wholly superior for her to admire, without any equal. Klevel spoke up again. ¡°It seems to me as if you are very calm for someone in your position. While your natural power as a Vampire is quite high, you are not a warrior. Additionally, your master was stronger than you are and we are stronger than we were when we killed him.¡± ¡°You are right. I, however, am a scientist and view losing control of myself because of emotion to be a fatal flaw. Especially when I find myself the weaker party.¡± ¡°I see. However, it seems like you have no intention of telling us where she is.¡± The Vampire smiled calmly, his Mana and Vital Energy starting to glow around him and some of his Ghouls around them, various Magical Circles manifestating before them as the battle started. Fireballs, lightnings and blade of winds and water rained down upon them, only for Fora to respond. ¡°Earth¡¯s Protection.¡± At the command, the floor of the mansion rose around them forming a dome around them, being converted in an hard metal by her Unique Skill before being enhanced further by her Mana, blocking the assault. It wasn¡¯t the end as Azure proceeded with the next step, rising her bow towards the sky, her target for her Unique Arma being the white-haired one. ¡°Piercing Heavy Shot.¡± A red clad arrow was shot towards the sky before suddently turning, barely being stopped by a barrier that suddently sprang around him, caused by the automatic barrier generator prototype before it entered in cooldown. He didn¡¯t hesitate, the Ghoul that had the previous role of guarding Luna activated its Unique Skill. The fact that it had a Unique Skill may seem like a contradiction considering how Monsters are not able to acquire them, however if someone is turned in a Ghoul while they have an awakened Unique Skill, it remains awakened at E-Rank while a Ghoul cannot awaken one on their own. Its Unique Skill was simply called Acceleration and, at D-Rank as it had at the moment, sped up time for itself or others to around four time the normal and so the cooldown on his barrier was quickly finished while he was chanting for a Spell and making a red Magical Circle. ¡°Bright Flare.¡± A jet of white flames was released from it, being amplified by various Artifact on his person, piercing through the dome and blasting it apart from the inside. He didn¡¯t hesitate and his Ghouls obeyed his orders trasmitted through his Soul Link, a second bombardement of Magic Spells raining down on the cloud of smoke without any hesitation while various Ghouls were seeking the Iriblades through various different methods, ranging from sensing Mana and Vital Energy, to sensing heat, sounds and smells. He suddently moved, dodging a swing from a blade made entirely out of light as Evan rose from beneath him, before his barrier sprung up around him, stopping another arrow from piercing through him, and hastily jumping back, evading the second swing from Ethan. This was only possible because Acceleration was activated on himself, otherwise he would have been hit from that slash or the following ten. However, this wasn¡¯t enough. Suddently from behind him, Fora rose from beneath the floor, her hammer already swinging and striking at his back. His barrier sprung up, only for it to be destroyed as a rain of arrows fell, just in time for the swing of her hammer to sending it flying. Evan accelerated, instantly cutting off his left arm almost at the shoulder. Edgar was faster than Evan because of the fact that he was a C-Rank Vampire affected by Acceleration, however Evan was a B-Rank Human and was actually skilled when it comes to battle. The old Vampire was faster, yes, however he was much more wasteful with his movement than any of the Iriblades and found himself being slowly, but surely cornered. While the damage caused by Fora was already fully healed, his arm was in much worse condition as the light charred his wound, making it much harder, much more expensive and time consuming to heal. Fortunately he already activated a pain nullification artifact or the pain would have ended the battle already. Before he could react, water blades rose from underneath the floor, cutting into him. He understood now where the others were as Evan attacked again. He made to dodge only for two arrows to pin his feets to the ground and for Evan to cut off both of his legs at the knees at once, charring them. He fell, barely able to stop himself by using his one remaining arm, before looking up, a sword made out of light at a centimeter from his neck and a nocked arrow staring at his face, chains of water holding him in place while a dome of the same steel as before was around them, separating them from his Ghouls. ¡°Maybe you don¡¯t understand. You have answers that I want.¡± Azure told him, a cruel light in her eyes. He sighed, finding himself having to use his ace up his sleeve already. - 7/29 16:13 (Summer, Night) Meanwhile, in a forest in the central-meridional Midrar, Luna was surrounded by people. ¡°Tell me, what is a cute thing like you doing all alone.¡± As the leader spoke, his subordinates spread out, ready to attack her. Luna didn¡¯t bother to answer him, uncaring of his existence as she continued to walk on the road. Upon being ignored like that, the leader red in the face because of anger, attacked her with the sword in his right hand, trying to cut off her right arm. In response, her Unique Arma manifested herself around her hand, blocking the sword as she ruthlessly attacked, her fist crashing in his hastily raised guard, making him step back as his subordinates prepared to attack. Five arrows fell upon her, only for her wings to appear around her and block them all. Suddenly her wings forcefully opened, sending the three¡­ bandits?¡­ trying to attack her, flying away. A fireball was cast on her, only for her wings to separate from her body and become a pair of shields, one blocking said fireball and the other sending another one of her future meals crashing away. Before she could press on the attack, she found herself having to dodge as a mace fell where she was previously. ¡°Sorry Boss. It seems like we cannot capture her alive.¡± ¡°You are right. What a shame.¡± He responded, rising his sword and taking it with both hands. The two were the strongest warriors of his group, composed mostly to high E-Ranks to low D-Ranks, equivalent to an high D-Rank Adventurer and specialized in battles against other people. You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. Without hesitation, every single one of his group started to actively circulating Vital Energy, preparing not to capture her, but to kill her. She smiled in answer as she prepared to an actual fight, happy to not have killed her previous targets instantly. After all, conflict is a way to grow she was quite familiar with. Her Shapes turning to float around her and her Familiars being Summoned from the shadows casted by her newly reformed wings, away from the battle itself, but near enough to observe and interfere in it if necessary. Her Vital Mana flowed around her, her claws and her body ready to kill and her fangs shining in a bloodthirsty smile as bloodlust shone in her eyes. This was, after all, the only emotion that her eyes could show. The battle started as both arrows clad in Vital Energy and another Fireball were launched towards her as her wings started flapping. Status Total Magicules 10476 (V) Stored Magicules 464 Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner¡¯s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased resistance to all attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill. Also at D-Rank you can now use Vital Energy to control your own Blood and Mana to control and shape shadows. Unique: Singularity D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any elemental magic of any type. However magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any element will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally limits on magical affinity, Mana control and conversion efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at this Rank will be that the increases in an elemental affinity will, instead, increases non-elemental affinity. At D-Rank, all sustain costs are negated and the stability of any construct made of energy is brought to the maximum. Growth: Soul Harmony D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill denotes that the owner¡¯s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner¡¯s energy in general and both their growth speed and their potential. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules equal to the total Rank of all their other Skills times 3. At D-Rank the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana well are further increased. Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) A person is considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether it is active or not. This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types. This armament is able to strenghten both its owner¡¯s existence and their Spell, Technique and Crafting by increasing the ammount of Energy in them without actually using any automatically. Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. This Skill manifests for the moment as two gloves covering up to most of the owner¡¯s forearm principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist. At this Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules depending on this and the corresponding¡¯s Unique Skill Ranks. Innate: Regeneration D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill denotes that the owner is able to passively and automatically generate and heal themselves using Vital Energy. In this case, however, this Skill function as an enhancement towards the healing caused by the nature of the owner as a Lunarian. At D-Rank this Skill also further increases the well of Vital Energy and Mana of the owner. Innate: Blood Gift D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill notes the owner¡¯s affinity with Blood, healing and Vital Energy in general by allowing it to convert the first in the latter. However, this function as an enhancement to this process if, like in this case, the owner can already do such. Finally, if the previous situation is true, it allows the transfer of Vital Energy to heal others by allowing them to drink the owner¡¯s Blood at a reduced efficiency, except in this case because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill and so the efficiency isn¡¯t lowered. Thanks to Vital Mana Authority, this Skill can transfer Vital Mana, Mana or Vital Energy to the target. At D-Rank this Skill further increases the speed at which Mana and Vital Energy are generated in the owner. Innate: Vampirism D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) A Skill that denotes someone¡¯s thirst for blood, both biologically and mentally.

Innate: Blood Forging D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the ability to use the owner¡¯s blood to enhance an object beyond its limits. At this Rank the ammount of Blood needed to activate Blood Forging is greatly reduced and the owner¡¯s Vital Energy recovery is increased. Innate: Vital Mana Authority D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the authority of the owner over the use of Vital Mana. It automatically fuses together Vital Energy and Mana within the owner and counts it as either parts with much higher efficiency, quality, control, quantity and recovery speed. Thanks to Singularity, the efficiency of the fusion of Vital Energy and Mana is set to a minimum of 100%. At D-Rank, the potency of Vital Mana is increased further. Innate: Familiar Summoning E Magicules: 1k/1k (IV) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise. In this case, the number of Maximum Familiar is negated because of the owner being a Lunarian, so long as all Familiars are made by the Lunarian Skill, even if they still require Vital Energy and Mana to be Summoned. Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. Innate: Black Blood Manipulation E Magicules: 100/1k (III) This Skill shows the ability of the owner to fuse the shadow and the blood of the owner within and without the owner¡¯s body to create a black fluid that is considered as both blood and shadow. Additionally, thanks to both Singularity and Vital Mana Authority, both the blood and the shadow of the owner is passively changed to this substance, enhancing the owner¡¯s existence further. Ability: No Attribute Sorcery D This Skill denotes the ease and ability with which the owner uses No Attribute Sorcery increasing the owner non-elemental affinity and the Power of No Attribute Sorceries. No Attribute Sorcery is based upon the use of Mana untainted by any attribute within the owner¡¯s body and without any chant, magical circle or other similar ways based entirely on the owner¡¯s willpower. At D-Rank this Skill increases the use with which the owner can manipolate Mana. Ability: Mana Shaping C This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to shape Mana outside their body throught willpower alone. This Skill enhance additionally the Power of the owner¡¯s Shapes and the control of their Mana. The process by which Mana Shapes are made depends on the owner¡¯s control of their Mana, this Skill and the Skill and magical affinity in a type of sorcery from which the shape is formed dealing damage based on it. In this case, however, the Mana efficiency derived by the owner¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± is such that all Mana Shape are transparent except for their outline. At D-Rank Mana Shapes can now be considered as independent creations, no longer needing explicit mental commands. At C-Rank Mana Shapes can now be freely manipulated depending on Mana Control both in aspect and function. Ability: Unharmed Technique D This Skill denotes the ability of the owner without the use of a weapon or with only fist-type weapons and increases the Power of Techniques used with their own body. At D-Rank this Skill increases the owner Vital Energy Quantity and Recovery.

Familiars: Vision E Third Eye of Physicality Warden E Imperial Scale chapter 12 7/29 16:18 (Summer, Night; Edgar and Iriblades) Edgar was without a doubt in an incredibly dangerous situation, surrounded, chained, with three limbs missings and trapped within a dome of steel. He activated his ace. He instantly disappeared, changing place with one of his Ghoul bearing his previous wounds that had already activated a self-destructive Spell, exploding between them. A yellow Magical Circle manifested around it, safely suppressing said explosion as the dome vanished and they were able to see the fully-healed Edgar and his horde of Ghouls ready to continue to fight. Various blades made of wind rained down on them, only to be stopped by a solid layer of water with a slight golden light within, a combination Spell between Marine and Klevel. ¡°Oh, Crushing Spirit, respond to my plea.¡± An humanoid mass of rocks now floated behind and to left of her, but differently from the other times, she did not Cast a Spirit Spell, as she Summoned it with the intention of using it only for support. Fora lowered her hand to the ground, spikes rising out of the ground to try to impale the Ghouls, with the Spirit increasing the potency and speed of said spikes. Hastily, various Spells were Casted to destroy them, buying the Iriblades enough time. Klevel rose his Cleric¡¯ Staff, consuming most of both his Vital Energy and Mana to Cast a specific Spell, only possible because his Holy Magecraft reached B-Rank after the battle with the Water Drake. ¡°Potential Release.¡± Instantly, the power of the Iriblades was amplified to as much of their potential power as possible. This Spell was incredibly specific in requirement to Cast, requiring the target, or in this case targets, of this Spell to not have any active Strenghtening Spell Casted on them nor can they be activated on them for the duration. But, it was more than worth it. The effect was to temporary bring all of their Skills to a Rank equal to the Caster¡¯s own Holy Magecraft Skill, in this case B-Rank, while creating enough Temporary Magicules to increases all Skills¡¯ Grades by 4 in this case. The Iriblades enjoyed the feeling of having their Potential released for the first time, after all this increase in power was much more intimate than any other previous one. ¡°Oh, Howling Spirit, respond to my plea.¡± A person-shaped tornado formed itself behind and to her right, her increased Rank in Blessing of the Spirits allowing her to handle two Spirits at the same time while strenghtening them further. She rose her bow, an arrow whose shaft was made out of rocks and with an arrowhead made out of solified air, nocked and launched high in the sky. ¡°Endlessly Raining Arrow.¡± The Technique was activated. The arrow shattered into pieces and said pieces became new arrows. This process repeated itself again and again until a veritable rain of arrows fell upon all of her enemies. Edgar¡¯s eyes widened as he hurriedly activated an Artifact, covering all of them in a barrier while all of his Ghouls Casted various Spells and Technique to destroy as many arrows as possible before they could multiply further. Fortunately, this Technique vastly decreases attack potency and durability in exchange for¡­ well, a lot more attacks. Unfortunately for Edgar, the original arrow was a Dual Attribute Spirit Arrow, much more dangerous and sturdy than normal arrows. Fortunately the barrier would be able to mostly defend against the arrows, as spread out as they were. Unfortunately for him, however, his reaction was already foreseen as the arrows instantly changed direction and target, without any loss of speed, charging directly at one point of the barrier. Edgar¡¯s eyes widened in shock as his barrier was shattered into pieces, arrows piercing his body in various places while he constantly switched his wounds to other Ghouls, using his own Regeneration and his Ghouls¡¯ to barely survive the assault. This, however, was only the start as the floor underneath him turned first into steel and then into spikes piercing his body and the Ghouls closest to him, killing five of them and wounding himself even further. The distraction was enough as Marine charged her Mana, the water responding to her temporary increase in Rank, forming a figure inspired by the Drake they fought previously, a great serpent made entirely out of water, its eyes shining white as it roared, its power equal to the Drake they fought while they were in the ship, its body crushing Ghouls as it devoured various others. Evan¡¯s blade made entirely out of light was raised horizontally. ¡°Shining Flash.¡± A white light was drawn through the Ghouls, before they all fell apart, dead. Edgar¡¯s eyes widened before he closed them, falling to the ground. ¡°Where is she!¡± A growl escaped Azure as she stamped on his spine. He, in response, didn¡¯t hesitate. Once the rest of her party neared them, he activated his final card detonating himself and his whole manor at once, to negate them any possibility of gaining any information on Luna, a resigned smile on his face. Thirty minutes later, when the smoke started to dissipate, the Iriblades left the former manor after carefully exploring it, noting how even the basement was destroyed, leaving no trace of where to find Scarlet behind, a grim expression on their face. Additionally, they only survived because they were under the effects of ¡°Potential Release¡±, being able to shield themselves from the worst of the explosion while protecting the exhausted Klevel. Azure gloomly observed Her photo, before she slapper her own cheeks, her eyes clear and her will resolute. ¡°I will find you. No matter the cost or time.¡± She moved faster, deciding to ask the people of this Island for informations, hoping and praying for answers. After all, even if her Unique Skill didn¡¯t indicate the way towards her, it indicated that she was still alive somewhere. She did awaken her Unique Skill only after She was taken from her for the expressed desire to find Her. - 7/29 16:14 (Summer, Night; Luna) She smiled before using a Technique, normally used with Shields, through her Wings, shielding her. She didn¡¯t hesitate, converting her feathers into knifes, before throwing them all around her. The group of bandits scattered while the mace-wielding one shielded both himself and his leader, before swinging, releasing a shockwave towards her. ¡°Pressure Wave!¡± She jumped left, dodging the shockwave and blocking a sword swing from another person with her Unique Arma¡¯s left gauntlet before blocking a slash from another sword with one of her own in her right hand, Shaped from both Black Blood and Vital Mana, before swinging with a second one in her now armed left hand, blocked by a shield from a third bandit, before she jumped away. ¡®How should I call my Shapes? They are not Mana Shapes anymore¡­ Can I call them Blood Shapes? No. Moon Shapes? No. Hm, True Shapes. Yes, True Shapes, it is.¡¯ At the end of the thought, she proceeded with a less important, but more immediately relevant, one. ¡®Now, is it Sorcery, Magecraft or Naturecraft. Sorcery for ranged attacks needs either B-Rank or Mana Shape and the power of the Spell was way too low for the ammount of Mana contained for it to be the first option. It was also too stable and, at the same time, too unstable to be Mana Shape. So it is either Magecraft or Naturecraft.¡¯ She nodded to herself, her newly-renamed True Sword, cutting straight through a swordman arm before she quickly cut off the top of his head with no hesitation. At the sight of one of his men dying, the enraged leader joined the fight with his second in command following close behind. ¡°How dare you kill-¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah, ¡°how dare I kill¡± whoever that was. Listen well, if you attack someone you should be prepared to the possibility of death. Being furious that someone you attacked, defended themselves is absolutely ridiculous. But you did the right move by attacking first, after all I planned to attack your back when I passed you before.¡± She provoked, the smile on her face never wavering. ¡°You bitch!¡± ¡°Calm down, boss. If you attack without thinking, we will die.¡± He breathed in and out, calming down as he prepared to fight. Meanwhile a Fireball fell upon her, only to be blocked again by a True Wing, and Luna nodded to herself. ¡®Considering the time between the Fireballs, the stability of the Spells, the location of their origins, their speed, the difference in quantity of Mana and the resulting differences in power between them...Yes, there is only one possibility especially considerating how he never strenghtened any member of this group.¡¯ ¡°I¡¯m certain of it now. Your Mage is a Fire-specialized Wizard with a Fire Magecraft and Mana Control Skills of D-Rank with a reasonable affinity for Fire. Additionally, he is not particularly good at projecting Magic Circles away from himself and he is right there.¡± Having said that she created a True Arrow floating above her before it started its flight towards the one she identified as a new D-Rank Fire Wizard, a person that was more than 130 meters away from her. He was, however, fortunately saved by the second in command that smashed apart the arrow before it could leave the clearing and Luna¡¯s smile widened at having her theory confirmed, her eyes litteraly shining with bloodlust in the dark of the Night. The reason her Shapes could be seen was because a certain Vampire that died shortly before made quite a bit of money by making and selling Artifacts that granted Darkvision while equipped to various criminal organizations on the nearby continents, some of which were then stolen by various people, among which this group of bandits. Artifacts that they used extensively to capture many people across the last 7 years. Artifacts that were the only reason why only three people died when Luna simply rose her left arm, releasing spears from the ground around her, wounding at least that many more that were too slow to react. This time, the leader didn¡¯t hesitate running in. ¡°Heavy Slash!¡± His sword clad in red met a similar weapon in the True Shape wielded by the Lunarian¡¯s right hand, being stopped in midair as she rose her other hand only to hastily moving it towards the indoming mace forming a shield instead of a blade to stop it. ¡°Pressure Wave!¡± The wave of force met the shield, weakening it enough that the continuing swing broke it into piece, forcing her to step back to dodge the attack, swinging a pair of daggers to block various arrows shot at her while she was retreating before forming a mace in her left hand, forcibly swinging it. This was the same Technique that the mace-wielding one just used on her, however the power was on a whole another level as derived by both the quality of the Weapon and the use of Vital Mana, creating a two-meters wide wave of force that shattered three trees completely while unrooting many more, before it ended as they jumped away from there. If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. She nodded to herself before doing the same with a sword releasing a slash that cut a line straight through various trees and rocks, killing another one of the bandits she was fighting. A laugh escaped her as her targets from 21 become 16, ready and willing for the number to become zero, a new pair of True Wings appearing on her back, a True Bow in her right hand, a True Sword in her left and her Unique Arma covering both of her hands and most of her forearms. The smell of blood in the air became more and more intense as the Moonlight shone above and cruel, but beautiful, laugher washed away all other sounds. The real battle finally started as the 16 remaining bandits, these of D-Class, prepared to fight the D-Rank Lunarian. Status Total Magicules 10476 (V) Stored Magicules 464 Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner¡¯s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased resistance to all attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill. Also at D-Rank you can now use Vital Energy to control your own Blood and Mana to control and shape shadows. Unique: Singularity D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any elemental magic of any type. However magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any element will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally limits on magical affinity, Mana control and conversion efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at this Rank will be that the increases in an elemental affinity will, instead, increases non-elemental affinity. At D-Rank, all sustain costs are negated and the stability of any construct made of energy is brought to the maximum. Growth: Soul Harmony D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill denotes that the owner¡¯s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner¡¯s energy in general and both their growth speed and their potential. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules equal to the total Rank of all their other Skills times 3. At D-Rank the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana well are further increased. Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) A person is considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether it is active or not. This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types. This armament is able to strenghten both its owner¡¯s existence and their Spell, Technique and Crafting by increasing the ammount of Energy in them without actually using any automatically. Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. This Skill manifests for the moment as two gloves covering up to most of the owner¡¯s forearm principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist. At this Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules depending on this and the corresponding¡¯s Unique Skill Ranks. Innate: Regeneration D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill denotes that the owner is able to passively and automatically generate and heal themselves using Vital Energy. In this case, however, this Skill function as an enhancement towards the healing caused by the nature of the owner as a Lunarian. At D-Rank this Skill also further increases the well of Vital Energy and Mana of the owner. Innate: Blood Gift D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill notes the owner¡¯s affinity with Blood, healing and Vital Energy in general by allowing it to convert the first in the latter. However, this function as an enhancement to this process if, like in this case, the owner can already do such. Finally, if the previous situation is true, it allows the transfer of Vital Energy to heal others by allowing them to drink the owner¡¯s Blood at a reduced efficiency, except in this case because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill and so the efficiency isn¡¯t lowered. Thanks to Vital Mana Authority, this Skill can transfer Vital Mana, Mana or Vital Energy to the target. At D-Rank this Skill further increases the speed at which Mana and Vital Energy are generated in the owner. Innate: Vampirism D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) A Skill that denotes someone¡¯s thirst for blood, both biologically and mentally. In someone who is not naturally vampiric, this Skill allows them to gain sustenance and some Magicules from Blood. However, in a natural vampiric being, it enhances the effects of said process slightly and further increases the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana Well. Additionally, in either cases, it allows the ability to sense Blood nearby. At D-Rank this Skill allows the owner to store objects and non-living beings within the owner¡¯s shadow. Innate: Blood Forging D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the ability to use the owner¡¯s blood to enhance an object beyond its limits. At this Rank the ammount of Blood needed to activate Blood Forging is greatly reduced and the owner¡¯s Vital Energy recovery is increased. Innate: Vital Mana Authority D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the authority of the owner over the use of Vital Mana. It automatically fuses together Vital Energy and Mana within the owner and counts it as either parts with much higher efficiency, quality, control, quantity and recovery speed. Thanks to Singularity, the efficiency of the fusion of Vital Energy and Mana is set to a minimum of 100%. At D-Rank, the potency of Vital Mana is increased further. Innate: Familiar Summoning E Magicules: 1k/1k (IV) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise. In this case, the number of Maximum Familiar is negated because of the owner being a Lunarian, so long as all Familiars are made by the Lunarian Skill, even if they still require Vital Energy and Mana to be Summoned. Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. Innate: Black Blood Manipulation E Magicules: 100/1k (III) This Skill shows the ability of the owner to fuse the shadow and the blood of the owner within and without the owner¡¯s body to create a black fluid that is considered as both blood and shadow. Additionally, thanks to both Singularity and Vital Mana Authority, both the blood and the shadow of the owner is passively changed to this substance, enhancing the owner¡¯s existence further. Ability: No Attribute Sorcery D This Skill denotes the ease and ability with which the owner uses No Attribute Sorcery increasing the owner non-elemental affinity and the Power of No Attribute Sorceries. No Attribute Sorcery is based upon the use of Mana untainted by any attribute within the owner¡¯s body and without any chant, magical circle or other similar ways based entirely on the owner¡¯s willpower. At D-Rank this Skill increases the use with which the owner can manipolate Mana. Ability: Mana Shaping C This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to shape Mana outside their body throught willpower alone. This Skill enhance additionally the Power of the owner¡¯s Shapes and the control of their Mana. The process by which Mana Shapes are made depends on the owner¡¯s control of their Mana, this Skill and the Skill and magical affinity in a type of sorcery from which the shape is formed dealing damage based on it. In this case, however, the Mana efficiency derived by the owner¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± is such that all Mana Shape are transparent except for their outline. At D-Rank Mana Shapes can now be considered as independent creations, no longer needing explicit mental commands. At C-Rank Mana Shapes can now be freely manipulated depending on Mana Control both in aspect and function. Ability: Unharmed Technique D This Skill denotes the ability of the owner without the use of a weapon or with only fist-type weapons and increases the Power of Techniques used with their own body. At D-Rank this Skill increases the owner Vital Energy Quantity and Recovery. Ability: Mana Forging D This Skill denotes the owner¡¯s ability to actualize the process to enhance something, using the owner¡¯s own Mana as a medium, with a Spell. At D-Rank this Skill increases the passive generation of the Mana of the owner and greatly reduce the time needed to activate this Skill with the same ammount of Mana. Ability: Weapon Mastery E This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to use weapons and techniques at their maximum possible potential in combat or not. This Skill will also absorbed all other weapon Skills in itself being strengthened for each. This Skill greatly increases the owner Vital Energy capacity and regeneration and the power of technique, spells and crafting related to weapons. Ability: Artifact Proficiency E The power of all Artifacts attuned with the owner is increased slightly. Ability: Meditation E This Skill normally lowers the time needed to sleep however a Lunarian has no need for that and, as such, this Skill instead increases the efficiency of the use of all Energy of the owner. Ability: Presence Suppression E This Skill shows the degree of the owner to hide one¡¯s own presence. Thanks to Singularity, all form of Energy within the owner is passively hidden. Magicules sources. #Lunarian #Singularity #Vampirism A process to convert 100 leters of Blood in Magicules, the number of which depends on the owner of said blood. The ammount of Magicules gained is equal to 100 plus the total ammount of Magicules the former owner absorbed. This process is 1 hour long every 100 leters of Blood to convert them, with a 10% conversion efficiency, however with the combination of Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±, the time is instantaneous and the efficiency is of 100%, however this process kills the victim without a doubt. Additionally because of the Innate Skill ¡°Vampirism¡± the efficiency is further enhanced to 103%. #Soul_Harmony A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank times 3 every day. E=1; D=3; C=5; B=7; A=10. At the moment the Owner possesses, other than Soul Harmony: 5 E-Rank; 12 D-Rank Skills; 1 C-Rank Skills. Every day, then, the owner will gain 46 Magicules times 3, 138. #Unique_Arma #Singularity A process to automatically gain Magicules every day equal to the value of Unique Arma¡¯s and Singularity¡¯s Rank. E=100; D=300; C=500; B=700; A=1k At the moment Unique Arma is D-Rank and Singularity is at D-Rank and so, every day, the owner will gain 600 Magicules. Familiars: Vision E Third Eye of Physicality E Warden E Imperial Scale E Chapter 13 7/29 16:36 (Summer, Night; Luna) 7 arrows were shot at her at once from one of the two Elves in the group of outlaws as she quickly blocked them all with her wings, her sword floating around her as she drew back a True Arrow nocked to her bow. Before she could shoot, a silent Pressure Wave was sent at her that she was able to dodge as it was vastly slower than the Chanted variant, but buying his leader enough time to reach her and try to cut her in half. She responded by retaking the Sword floating around her and parrying him away before blocking the skillfull thrust of the second and last Elf within the group. As she was about to kill him, the two Beast-kins, one of the Deer-Type and one of a Fox-Type, interfered. The second of the two, looking like a Human with the addition of the tail and ears of a fox and nails that looked like claws, swung at her with said claws from both of his hands clad in Vital Energy while the first, looking like a slender human with the horns of a deer, jumped over her before stomping down on her, his foot clad in Vital Energy. In response, she formed two small platforms under her feet, launching herself not away, but towards the first of the two of them, letting her weapon go and grabbing his wrists before forcefully pulling him in the way of the other Beastkin¡¯s stomp, sending them both crashing to the ground. They were saved from a rain of lances from the sky by one of the three Dwarfs, shielding them with a Tower Shield 3 meters tall and two wide, a shield that was massively bigger then he was, with his barely meter and a half of height, using a Technique to increases immensely his balance, being able to keep himself and the other two safe. Meanwhile a Fireball launched by the Human Mage away from them was blocked by a True Barrier over the head of the Elf, distracting him from the arrow that he was preparing and buying herself enough time. After all, while a group of this size is dangerous, there is a reason most Adventuring Parties are comprised out of only a handful of People to minimize the variables of a fight. Against a single Person, only so many People could attack at once effectively. And that number was well within her calculation ability. Sixteen True Lances that looked like drills materialized above her and started to spin, faster and faster, before they were launched at high speed, one towards every single one of her targets as distraction while she nocked an Arrow in her Bow, shooting it at the Wizard. She really needed to call them something to distinguish them. Dwarf 1 used his door of a Shield to protect himself and Beastkin 1 and 2 while Dwarf 2 and 3, a pair of twins, blocked with their maces. Human 3 to 6, Elf 1 and 2 and the Leader evaded the attack without any problems while the two remaining Humans barely dodged, being wounded in the leg one and in the side the other. Finally while the Mage was able to dodge the Lance because of the distance between them, the Arrow that followed was fortunately broken by Right-Hand who ignored the one sent against himself, accepting a hole in his left shoulder, his non-dominant arm while sending another shockwave back. She calmly dodged it by flying a couple of meters away, before dropping towards the ground trying to stomp the Deer Beastkin with her left foot clad in purple, to reduce the number of inconsequential opponents. He hurriedly dodged as a crater formed there, cracks expanding outwards before Human 3 and Dwarf 2 jumped in the hole, one armed with a katana while the other with a mace. ¡°Fast Slash!¡± ¡°Strong Blow!¡± Both weapon clad in red were swung at her, the katana from her left being quickly drawn by its shealt while the mace fell from above on her right. The response was immediate. A mace formed in her left hand and she used Hard Blow to overpower the bladed weapon and stopped him dead while a katana formed in her right hand, using Fast Slash to deflect the mace to the ground, before she jumped and used the two¡¯s chest as a jumping pad to dodge a third attack. ¡°Heavy Thrust!¡± The rapier wielded from the falling Human 4, that used his own whole weight to increase the damage as much as possible, pierced where Luna was before until the hilt. She nodded to herself while falling, noting what she felt when she was using the Techniques and what she was seeing through her Familiars. Her copying of both Techniques was because Vision¡¯s sight was connected with her own and so she could see how they manipulated their Vital Energy and copy this manipulation with her own ability to manipulate Vital Mana. Fast Slash was a Technique to maximize the speed of the swing while Strong Blow, instead, was a Technique to use all of the body to maximize the power of a blow. The two Technique cannot be normally used together, but she was more than able to use them in quick succession and so, the next step was obvious. She used Strong Slash combined with Pressure Wave to create a powerful, but slow, air blade that was followed with a Fast Slash combined with Pressure Wave, fusing the two of them in a terrifying fast and strong air blade that was able to cut Human 4 in two, killing him and forming a vertical three-meters deep fessure in the ground as blood flowed. ¡°15 to go. Come on, teach me more.¡± Her provocation was answered as a red Magic Circle formed under her before a pillar of fire enveloped her. The rest of the group didn¡¯t hesitate as Elf 1 shot various arrows where she was as Human 3 and 5, armed with two swords, ran in to cut her only to be stopped by a pair of swords. She walked out of the fire, her Vital Mana covering her being solidified in a barrier to protect her from the fire before she nodded. ¡®As I thought, he is no threat. Nor are most of them. 13 to go.¡¯ She thought as her blades instantly changed in a couple of scythes, trapping the necks of the two Humans between the blade and the shaft before the two heads fell with a movement of her own wrists, her weapons dissolved in Energy before turning in five blades that were sent forward to buy time. She stepped forward, her rapier piercing straight throught the armor of Dwarf 2 and his shoulder, impaling him against a tree before she ripped him apart by expanding her weapon and ripping him apart from the inside. This death stunned them enough for her to shot an arrow through his twin, Dwarf 3, that exploded killing him. A Fireball fell upon her. ¡°How boring. It seems like you will continue to bother me.¡± Vision moved until, while still hidden, it could observe the Mage. Warden then used Vision¡¯s eyes as target mechanism to create a barrier within his forming Magic Circle, disrupting it in various critical places and blowing him up. She returned to the fight, her sword meeting with Right Hand¡¯s and Dwarf 1¡¯s mace while both Human 6 and Elf 1 shot her with various arrows blocked with her newly-reappeared Wings, her right leg moving in a kick at Dwarf 1¡¯s shield sending herself away before kicking at a tree, jumping forward again and punching it. Before he could react, she grabbed his shield, pulling it towards herself, forcefully rising him in the air before smashing him in the ground on his back, creating a crater with his resistant body, stepping on his hands to stop them before, with a smile, piercing through his eye with a True Rapier, her Wings¡¯ feathers becoming knifes and raining in the area around her. A sword approched her neck before a True Staff blocked it as Leader continued the assault with a punch to her solar plexus dodged as she spinned, kicking him back before she stepped forward, her following punch being blocked by him crossing his arms before him, flying back. As she jumped after him, a mace blocking his sight as she dropped to the ground, dodging the attack and taking the mace¡¯s handle, stopping it before, with a smile she thrusted with her palm against his chest, using both Strong Blow and Pressure Wave at the same time throught her palm. As the result, Right-Hand was sent flying, breaking various trees. Beast-kin F jumped at her, his claws clad in Vital Energy as he attacked with a flurry of blows and she dodged while observing the way he used them. After a while she nodded to herself before, her nails extended into claws, she ripped into him. He fell as she stepped forward, stopping the kick by Beast-kin D by grabbing his ankle before stabbing him with a True Sword. Human 6 slowly stepped back, his bow trembling, before he dropped it and ran away. At seeing that, Luna¡¯s expression worsened. Her judgement was followed by her attack, a True Lance piercing his back, as Right-Hand, Leader and Elf 2 attacked her while Elf 1 shot her with various arrows. Human 1 and 2 attacked her from the back, both of them using a pair of knifes. She responded by Shaping a shield equal to Dwarf 1¡¯s to block their and Right-Hand¡¯s way while allowing the blade of Leader to pierce her right palm until the hilt she forcefully grabbed with barely a wince, moving him in the way of the arrows. He was able to minimize the damage as much as possible from the arrows however this left him open to Luna that, bored of him already, pierced through him with her left hand clad in a spear. Human 1 and 2 followed him in death because Spears fell from above, stabbing their arms and legs before they exploded through Mana Burst. Elf 1 was next as she dodged mace and sword before, forming two True Arms as big as she was, she grabbed Elf 2 and Right-Hand and throwed them far away from herself. She went forward, her Wings accelerating her as she dodged his arrows before, once she was before him moving outside his point of view with a sudden burst of speed, no more sounds being heard by his sensitive ears before feeling it. A blade cutting him almost in two from behind as he, slowly, fell dying. Elf 2 was able to land on his feet first, an hateful expression on his face as he reguarded her pointy ears. ¡°Oh? How interesting. You hate me, don¡¯t you? How selfish. There is no meaning in a hate you cannot use to grow and you certaintly will not be able to use it as such. But I suppose, it is only natural for an Elf to despise an Half-Elf.¡± The reason she said it was only natural was quite simple. A Half-Elf was the child of an Human and an Elf with a Human¡¯s Racial Skill with an Innate Skill derived by an Elf. This Skill normally can be: Enhanced Senses, One with Nature, Skillfull Nature or Enhanced Agility. This would not cause any issues for the Elfs, however these are not the only Skills a Half-Elf can hereditate from the Elf parent, merely the ones an Elf can obtain. A Half-Elf can be born, even if very rarely, with two Skills that, indipendently of either effort or talent, will never be gained by an Elf causing immense envy in them because of their value and significance. One of the two was "Blessing of the Spirits" that a certain Adventurer of the Iriblades currently possessed. The other, possessed by Luna¡¯s previous self, was Spirit Body, a Skill that she will be able to regain once she will become a B-Rank Lunarian. Her smile expanded as she opened her Wings wide before flying towards her wounded opponents while weapons fell on them. - 7/29 17:19 (Summer, Night; Luna) *Luna Gained 4087+114 Magicules. *Luna¡¯s Growth Skill ¡°Soul Harmony¡± Rank increased to C-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Regeneration¡± Rank increased to C-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Vampirism¡± Rank increased to C-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Familiar Summoning¡± Rank increased to D-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Black Blood Manipulation¡± Rank increased to D-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°No-Attribute Sorcery¡± Rank increased to C-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°Unharmed Combat¡± Rank increased to C-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°Weapon Mastery¡± Rank increased to D-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°Meditation¡± Rank increased to D-Rank. *Luna Gained the Ability Skill ¡°High-speed Processing¡±. *Luna Gained the Ability Skill ¡°Parallel Processing¡±. She was not finished. As their blood finished to being absorbed in her mouth, she reguarded the 21 Souls she stored now within her. They had no worth to her and so they passed on to the Moon. The 5 at E-Rank left nothing behind. The two most important Shades were Mage¡¯s, leaving behind the Ability Skill ¡°Fire Magecraft¡±, and Dwarf 1¡¯s, containing ¡°Physical Resistance.¡± The rest of them were Ability Skills based on weapons that were then absorbed in Vision, forming a ¡°Weapon Mastery¡± Skill based on her own, while Warden absorbed ¡°Physical Resistance¡±. The Shade formed by ¡°Fire Magecraft¡± was then called Ash by Luna. If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. She smiled, satisfied, before regarding the corpses around her. ¡°Now, what do I do? If Edgar was here, he would use Corpse Cremation, but I can¡¯t use that Spell because of "Singularity".¡± She tounched an arm on the ground, experimentally, Mana Forging it with Mana Burst before getting away from it and launching a Mana Stone enhanced with the same Spell against it. The result was the simultaneous explosion of both. She nodded to herself. "Not this way. In that case¡­¡± She cut herself, her blood invading a nearby corpse before activating its properties. Quickly, the body was restaured to peak performance even if without any Soul within before it dissolved into Black Blood that joined her shadow in storage. She nodded to herself before taking a branch from a tree, and follow the direction it fell towards, unaware that it indicated towards sud-est, the exact opposite direction she should be going towards.

However magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any element will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally limits on magical affinity, Mana control and conversion efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at this Rank will be that the increases in an elemental affinity will, instead, increases non-elemental affinity. At D-Rank, all sustain costs are negated and the stability of any construct made of energy is brought to the maximum. Growth: Soul Harmony D ¡ú C Magicules: 1k/10m.

(IV) A person is considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether it is active or not. This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types. This armament is able to strenghten both its owner¡¯s existence and their Spell, Technique and Crafting by increasing the ammount of Energy in them without actually using any automatically. Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. This Skill manifests for the moment as two gloves covering up to most of the owner¡¯s forearm principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist. At this Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner.

Innate: Blood Gift D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill notes the owner¡¯s affinity with Blood, healing and Vital Energy in general by allowing it to convert the first in the latter. However, this function as an enhancement to this process if, like in this case, the owner can already do such. Finally, if the previous situation is true, it allows the transfer of Vital Energy to heal others by allowing them to drink the owner¡¯s Blood at a reduced efficiency, except in this case because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill and so the efficiency isn¡¯t lowered. Thanks to Authority: Vital Mana, this Skill can transfer Vital Mana, Mana or Vital Energy to the target. At D-Rank this Skill further increases the speed at which Mana and Vital Energy are generated in the owner. Innate: Vampirism D ¡ú C Magicules: 1k/10m (IV) A Skill that denotes someone¡¯s thirst for blood, both biologically and mentally. In someone who is not naturally vampiric, this Skill allows them to gain sustenance and some Magicules from Blood. However, in a natural vampiric being, it enhances the effects of said process slightly and further increases the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana Well. (Up) Additionally, in either cases, it allows the ability to sense and read Blood in a range depending on the Grade this and the Racial Skill. At D-Rank this Skill allows the owner to store objects and non-living beings within the owner¡¯s shadow. (New) At C-Rank, this Skill increases temporary the power of the owner by consuming Blood, either their own or others, depending on its quality. Innate: Blood Forging D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the ability to use the owner¡¯s blood to enhance an object beyond its limits. At D-Rank the ammount of Blood needed to activate Blood Forging is greatly reduced and the owner¡¯s Vital Energy recovery is increased. Innate: Authority: Vital Mana D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the authority of the owner over the use of Vital Mana. It automatically fuses together Vital Energy and Mana within the owner and counts it as either parts with much higher efficiency, quality, control, quantity and recovery speed. Thanks to Singularity, the efficiency of the fusion of Vital Energy and Mana is set to a minimum of 100%. At D-Rank, the potency of Vital Mana is increased further. Innate: Familiar Summoning E ¡ú D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise. In this case, the number of Maximum Familiar is negated because of the owner being a Lunarian, so long as all Familiars are made by the Lunarian Skill, even if they still require Vital Energy and Mana to be Summoned. Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. (New) At D-Rank, the Familiars can increase in Rank. Innate: Black Blood Manipulation E ¡ú D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill shows the ability of the owner to fuse the shadow and the blood of the owner within and without the owner¡¯s body to create a black fluid that is considered as both blood and shadow. Additionally, thanks to both Singularity and Authority: Vital Mana, both the blood and the shadow of the owner is passively changed to this substance, enhancing the owner¡¯s existence further. (New) At D-Rank, this Skill changes the nature of the blood further, enhaning the recovery and the quantity of both Mana and Vital Energy of the owner. Ability: No Attribute Sorcery D ¡ú C This Skill denotes the ease and ability with which the owner uses No Attribute Sorcery increasing the owner non-elemental affinity and the Power of No Attribute Sorceries. No Attribute Sorcery is based upon the use of Mana untainted by any attribute within the owner¡¯s body and without any chant, magical circle or other similar ways based entirely on the owner¡¯s willpower. At D-Rank this Skill increases the ease with which the owner can manipolate Mana. (New) At C-Rank this Skill increases the Non-elemental Affinity of the owner. Ability: Mana Shaping C This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to shape Mana outside their body throught willpower alone. This Skill enhance additionally the Power of the owner¡¯s Shapes and the control of their Mana. The process by which Mana Shapes are made depends on the owner¡¯s control of their Mana, this Skill and the Skill and magical affinity in a type of sorcery from which the shape is formed dealing damage based on it. In this case, however, the Mana efficiency derived by the owner¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± is such that all Mana Shape are transparent except for their outline. At D-Rank Mana Shapes can now be considered as independent creations, no longer needing explicit mental commands. At C-Rank Mana Shapes can now be freely manipulated depending on Mana Control both in aspect and function. Ability: Unharmed Technique D ¡ú C This Skill denotes the ability of the owner without the use of a weapon or with only fist-type weapons and increases the Power of Techniques used with their own body.

Magicules sources. #Lunarian #Singularity #Vampirism A process to convert 100 leters of Blood in Magicules, the number of which depends on the owner of said blood. The ammount of Magicules gained is equal to 100 plus the total ammount of Magicules the former owner absorbed. This process is 1 hour long every 100 leters of Blood to convert them, with a 10% conversion efficiency, however with the combination of Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±, the time is instantaneous and the efficiency is of 100%, however this process kills the victim without a doubt. (Up) Additionally because of the Innate Skill ¡°Vampirism¡± the efficiency is further enhanced to 105%. #Soul_Harmony (Up) A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank times 5 every day.

Familiars: Vision E Third Eye of Physicality E (New) Weapon Mastery E Warden E Imperial Scale E (New) Physical Resistance E (New) Ash Fire Magecraft E Chapter 14 7/29 20:01 (Summer, Night; Iriblades) They found themselves reunited in the room in the local inn they rentend. ¡°So, did you find anything?¡± ¡°I asked the Guild if they remembered seeing any Half-Elf or Vampire within the last three month, but they didn¡¯t.¡± The first to answer Azure¡¯s question was Evan only to then be followed by Klevel and, then, Fora. ¡°I asked the same of various seamen and neither did they.¡± ¡°Idem for the Crafter¡¯s Guild.¡± ¡°Haha, listen well and rejoice, for I, the great Witch Marine have obtained vital informations for this quest of ours. There are voices on the streets about a mysterious caravan stopping just outside the city from which a beautiful white-haired Half-Elf looking around 18 years old exited, with a mysterious individual covered in an heavy coat as a guard.¡± ¡°That makes sense. It seems like he did Turn her. However, if she was a Vampire, it makes no sense that she would be in the sunlight. Even an Ancestor, the highest Class of Vampires at the highest Rank, would find it painfull to stand in Sunlight.¡± ¡°Fora is right. Additionally, I somewhat doubt that Edgar would have been able to create one of those abomination. And why not ask for her Blood? While we can only base our knowledge on her from Azure¡¯s very biased story, she is not one to easily forget a debt, positive or negative. He should have been able to convince her of it, but he didn¡¯t. Maybe she is an irregular Vampire?¡± ¡°No, Klevel. I¡¯m sure she is an higher Species from Vampire. However, it would not have mattered. He knew we were somehow hunting him so¡­¡± ¡°So, this way she was safe. To think that he was able to resist his impulse so¡­ How surprising. I have read little records of Vampires turning down free blood. But how did Scarlet handle the Sunlight? Maybe she has an Artifact?¡± ¡°No chance. She would not accept to use an Artifact for something as fundamental as that. Either she has a Resistance Skill already or she had no problem with it from the start. As expected from Her.¡± As she distracted herself, thinking about her sister, the others continued to speak. ¡°So we are now certain she is still alive. However, none of the seamen met her, right? When exactly did she pass by? And are your sources reliables?¡± ¡°The day the boats returned to travel and don¡¯t worry, after I beat them up a couple of times, they were very cooperative.¡± A sweatdrop on his forehead, Evan continued. ¡°Fora, do you have the list of travels of the boats?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± She took a list and quickly searched for the 15th. ¡°The destinations are in Terrar, Astrar, Higrar, Midrar and Lowrar.¡± ¡°I¡¯m still surprised when it comes to the name of the countries.¡± ¡°Well, they were named after the old Champion that created our calendar and the first map of this World, Akirar. But, Azure, do you know where she would go towards?¡± ¡°She will go towards Dunrar. It was where we were going towards before...well, before.¡± ¡°You do understand that a Vampire that Ascended from a Ghoul will lose all of their memory from before, right? Even if we find her, she¡­ will not remember you and we just killed what could be called her father. We may need to¡­¡± Klevel stopped himself from saying ¡®kill her¡¯. It certaintly would not happen considering her, before continuing. ¡°¡­ We may need to fight her to a standstill.¡± ¡°No worries. We never had a strong sense for family in the first case.¡± Silence stretched between them as the whole of the Iriblades looked at her, especially Klevel, the one to find and take her in after the two sisters were separated, before Evan spoke the question in everyone¡¯s mind. ¡°Can you explain, please?¡± ¡°Well, you know how it is. My Sister was born with both an incredibly powerfull Innate Skill and an awakened Unique Skill, without even considering Her immense talent. The old leach was understating Her talent. If we never met them, today She would without a doubt have reached A-Class. Our parents were terrified of Her to the point that they made me solely to function as a chain to limit and stop Her from going rampant, Her much inferior sister that She needed to look after. Then when She was 12, our parents vanished and we started traveling.¡± Silence streched between them before Evan asked his question. ¡°Are you sure she was not a Reincarnated Person?¡± ¡°Without any doubt.¡± The first four members of the Iriblades spoke quickly to each other, using a Sending Stone to make it so Azure didn¡¯t hear them. Evan: ¡®Her sister killed their parents, didn¡¯t she?¡¯ Marine: ¡®Without a doubt.¡¯ Klevel: ¡®No plausible other alternative.¡¯ Fora: ¡®Duh. I just wonder if arrow-for-brain suppressed that information or just never seriously thought about it.¡¯ Klevel: ¡®I believe the second. She didn¡¯t care enough to analyze the facts to understand that her sister probably killed them.¡¯ Marine: ¡®I mean, from how she described them¡­ It¡¯s not like she was exactly wrong to.¡¯ Fora: ¡®Wrong or not, it doesn¡¯t matter. Neither of the two would care.¡¯ ¡°Well, ok, then. Let¡¯s go to Dunrar. How long will we need?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ considering the travel itself, the acquisition of funds and food and all the permission we will need to travel there¡­ We should arrive there a month after the incoming White Day.¡± ¡°In that case, we have enough time to investigate. Did you find anything in the mansion.¡± ¡°No. The leach destroyed it completely. The only thing we have is this.¡± She held out an Artifacts shaped like a bracelet. ¡°I see.¡± Fora neared her, gently taking it from her. ¡°The Artifact made using Singularity as the inspiration. Are you sure I can analyze it? It may be destroyed in the process and from when we took this from the old Vampire, you never let it out of your hand.¡± ¡°I know, but¡­ there is no other choice.¡± ¡°Very well. Let¡¯s return to our base. I will need my smithy.¡± ¡°I will make preparations with the Guild then.¡± - 9/13 10:32 (Summer, Day; Luna) *Luna gained 600+335 Magicules times 43. *Luna¡¯s Growth Skill ¡°Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity¡± Rank increased to C Rank. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°Meditation¡± Rank increased to C-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°Presence Suppression¡± Rank increased to D-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°High-Speed Processing¡± Rank increased to D-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°Parallel Processing¡± Rank increased to D-Rank. *Vision¡¯s ¡°Weapon Mastery¡± Rank increased to D-Rank. *Warden¡¯s ¡°Imperial Scale¡± Rank increased to D-Rank *Ash¡¯s ¡°Fire Magecraft¡± Rank increased to D-Rank. She nodded to herself at her progress before sighing. ¡°It seems like I have hit a wall. My progress is slowing down massively and my Familiars cannot acquire Skill of their own. What a bother. Oh well, I already reaquired all, but two of the Skill the Half-Elf me had, while I am missing only Crafting from the Ghoul me. I need to increase the Rank of either my Racial or Unique Skill to surpass this wall, but the C-Rank of the two Skills is special. If I don¡¯t find anything to give me a proper fight or a lot of very high-quality blood, I won¡¯t be able to obtain them in time. Let¡¯s concentrate on Spells and Techniques for now, then.¡± She quickly started to manifest her Vital Mana to surround her only for it to cause an explosion from her, 5 meters in range, destroying various trees. She sighed at this error caused by the fact that she was too familiar with Mana Burst before nodding to herself, calling this Spell [Release] in her mind. It was a simple Spell capable to generate a shockwave around her at the cost of a vast quantity of Mana. It was quite inefficient when it comes to the force and the radius of said explosion, however. But now that she did it once¡­ ¡°[Release]!¡± While she wasn¡¯t one to use a Chant to Cast Spells, she could do an exeption every now and then. The following explosion was a more powerful and larger one than the previous one, with a radius of around 15 meters. She nodded to herself before manifesting fully her own Arma around her. ¡°Okay, this can be useful if I just... Let¡¯s try this. [Release]!¡± This time she used Mana Shaping to create a 5 meters diameter, thin sphere around her. The shockwave released from her own body was contained by her barrier, being reflected and amplified within it, creating what, from an external sight, would look like a shining purple sphere whose surface rippled like water continuously everywhere, lasting a whole five seconds. The result was an assault on everything within the barrier, herself included, by continuous shockwaves from all sides, as they were being reflected back by the barrier and passing through each other, ripping everything within the barrier apart. She stood at the bottom of the crater, her clothes completely gone, her skin presenting deep gashes and bruises all over, her left eye being crushed in her head, her right ear cut almost in half and, most worrisome, her own being, still a lie forcing itself into reality, was damaged deeply, lowering her lifespan by a couple of days from her original remaining 6 months. The only parts of her that were spared were those clad by her Unique Arma, that survived the process unharmed. She smiled as she breathed heavily, some teeth missings, before her own Vital Mana quickly started restoring her damaged body, before nodding to herself. She would need her Unique Arma to cover her completely to be able to use it safely, before she observed the damage around her. Within these 5 meters of the barrier, she herself was the only thing remaining as earth, stone, rocks, branches and leaves were completely erased within. She sighed before cloaking herself in her Vital Mana. Thanks to her experiencing blowing herself up, she grasped what she should do. She now could suceed where she failed before, the Sorcery called [Mana Clad-Warrior], a Spell that changed effect depending on the Attribute used by the Caster. In her case, this Spell manifested as a semi-trasparent purple layer around her, barely covering her naked body. However, the most important matter with the Spell was the effect on her. A non-Attribute version of this Spell simply formed a barrier around her to weaken incoming attacks while slightly enhancing the Caster. She smiled before moving to the next step, her True Wings being Casted upon her shoulders, two Weapons in her hands. She sighed deeply, her eyes closed as she concentrated. If this was her progress in Spells, it was time for her to progress in Techniques. Her next step was simple, her various basic Techniques being used one after another before she nodded satisfied. These Techniques consisted of the use of Vital Energy, Vital Mana in her case, to manipulate her own body so that she could apply her whole body into the various blows with her Energy further amplyfing the desired effects. A simple and effective way to use Techniques, able to quickly and easily output around 135% of her potential when it comes to her blows, but¡­ She had no need for such a thing. Her smile grew, her eyes opening wide before she laughed, her blood flowing within her body, faster and faster. She had no need for Techniques to manipulate her body as she wished, she was more than able to use her ¡°Black Blood Manipulation¡± to bring the most out of her own body. It was a shame that she needed that Skill for it, but at least for now, this would be the most efficient. She quickly reworked all of her Techniques to no longer be able to manipulate her own body, streamlining the process further to instead maximize both her use of Energy and the power of the Techniques themselves. Her new Techniques reached the same efficacy of before at only around 45% of the cost, a process that allowed her to bring out around 180% of her power with the same quantity of energy. This was, however, not the final step. The next was shattering the rigidity that binded her Techniques and her Shapes to the weapons by repeatedly and forcefully changing them mid swing from one to another. From whip to sword to dagger to hammer to mace, back to whip and to scythes, to staffs and finally to weapons that had no names, that constantly changed shape, her smile growing even wider as a laugh escaped her at her success. Dispelling her Spells and Techniques, she took a change of clothes from the storage ring she hid within her blood to protect it. Once she was done with that, she restarted her travel, unaware that she was approching the border between Midrar and Lowrar, instead of the one between Midrar and Higrar. - 9/13 13:02 (Summer, Day; ?) High above the skies of Lowrar, two beings prepared to fight. One was a great bird made out of golden flames with a wingspan of around 20 meters while the other was a light-blue scaled True Dragon, their wings beating slowly as the two of them were mostly being sustained in flight by their Mana. The two of them, even in their more monstrous form, were people and so someone could mistakenly think words could resolve the situation. However, the two of them were a Phoenix and a True Dragon, a pair of Races that were fighting each other since before recorded history and the two individuals in particular had an enmity lasting literal decades. Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. The D-Ranked Ice Dragon started this battle by releasing her Breath of pure cold shaped like a line to try and freeze her opponent solid. In response the other one casually dodged the opening move before releasing a rain of fire in response, a rain of fire that was shut off by a second Breath, this time shaped like a cone, before it narrowed to try and take the Phoenix by surprise. A surprise attack that failed as she agily dodged it before launching a fireball a couple dozen meters large in diameter towards the Dragon. The Dragon quickly flew down before releasing an aura of cold around her, blowing out the flames that would have landed on her before creating and launching a spear made out of ice to impale her adversary. This attack didn¡¯t land, after all they were both too used to fight each other for such a simple strike to matter between the two of them as fresh as they were at the moment. A cloud of fire was released from the Phoenix around the Dragon, trying to limit her possible steps. In response, she roared releasing cold mist to blow out the fire before hastily dodging a concentrated beam of fire and answering with her own beam of cold, it too being dodged with a graceful twirl. ¡°I wonder, Aurora. When will you cease to challenge me? We both know how this will end. Like the last 60 times we fought. Why don¡¯t you save us both time and you just give up.¡± ¡°Keep dreaming, Amber. This time, I will beat you.¡± ¡°Sure, sure. Well, good luck. You will need it. [Rising Sun]¡± The Spell, that was a mix of Elemental Sorcery mixed with the Innate Skill ¡°Pyrokinesis¡±, Casted by the Phoenix was activated, creating a sphere of golden flames high up in the sky, the temperature around them increasing and so was the power of the Fire Attribute. ¡°Don¡¯t look down on me, you overgrown burned chicken. [Frozen Armor]¡± The answering Spell, a mix between Elemental Sorcery and Naturecraft common between True Dragons, created an armor of ice around herself that she specialized in the past to resist fire and heat. Quickly, the two ran at each other, claws, teeth and cold fighting against talons, flames and sheer heat. The battle started in truth. Status Total Magicules 57462 (V) Stored Magicules 1550 Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner¡¯s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased resistance to all attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill. Also at D-Rank you can now use Vital Energy to control your own Blood and Mana to control and shape shadows. Unique: Singularity D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any elemental magic of any type. However magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any element will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and Energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally limits on magical affinities, Energy Control and Conversion Efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at this Rank will be that the increases in an elemental affinity will, instead, increases non-elemental affinity. At D-Rank, all sustain costs are negated and the stability of any construct made of Energy is brought to the maximum. Growth: Soul Harmony C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) This Skill denotes that the owner¡¯s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner¡¯s energy in general and both their growth speed and their potential. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules equal to the total Rank of all their other Skills times 5. At D-Rank the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana well are further increased. At C-Rank, the owner¡¯s Soul is further in harmony with itself reducing sharply Cooldowns while enhancing their existence Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity D ¡ú C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) A person is considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether it is active or not. This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types. This armament is able to strenghten both its owner¡¯s existence and their Spell, Technique and Crafting by increasing the ammount of Energy in them without actually using any automatically. Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. (Up) This Skill manifests for the moment as two gloves covering up to most of the owner¡¯s forearm and armor that covers the owner¡¯s feet and most of their foreleg; principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist. At D-Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner. (New) At C-Rank, while it is manifested, it additionally enhances the existance of the owner further and it will be able to awaken by using the command ¡°Awaken!¡±. (New) Awaken State: While in the Awakened State, all incoming damage is sharply reduced while the power of all Energy Uses is sharply increased further. The cooldown is of one hour plus the Activation Duration. While it is Awakened, it constantly absorbs Vital Mana from the User. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules depending on this and the corresponding¡¯s Unique Skill Ranks. Innate: Regeneration C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) This Skill denotes that the owner is able to passively and automatically generate and heal themselves using Vital Energy. In this case, however, this Skill function as an enhancement towards the healing caused by the nature of the owner as a Lunarian. At D-Rank this Skill also further increases the well of Vital Energy and Mana of the owner. At C-Rank, the owner is more resilient to alteration of status and heals even faster.

Familiars: Vision E Third Eye of Physicality E Weapon Mastery E ¡ú D Warden E Imperial Scale E ¡ú D Physical Resistance E Ash Fire Magecraft E ¡ú D Chapter 15 9/13 13:03 (Summer, Day; Amber & Aurora) A talon, leaving behind a trail of golden flames, was launched to try and cut her head, attack that was dodged before a tail covered in cold mist was swung in response. As Amber floated around said tail, she roared releasing a wave of fire all around her, wave that was stopped dead by an incoming wave of freezing air before a narrow Dragon Breath was casually dodged as the Phoenix generated flames around her that she then shaped into burning red strings through both ¡°Pyrokinesis¡±, an Innate Skill common in Phoenixes, and ¡°Blaze Crafting¡±, another Skill common in the same Race, being an Ability Skill instead. Strings that she then used to bind the Dragon¡¯s limbs and her mouth around the frozen armor that started to slowly melt, before she released a rain of golden fire in the zone around them. Hurriedly, Aurora created a wall of ice through Mana Shaping to block the wave of fire directed at her, a sigh of relief released by her, before she froze, her eyes widening. The fire that was directed away from her froze in the air before being turned into crimson spears that surrounded her, spears that quickly tried to pierce her from all directions. Aurora¡¯s eyes quickly widened before she roared, doing something rare for True Dragons to do. She forcefully changed the area around her, freezing the flames solid before they shattered in ice crystals, both the spears and the strings, before the area returned to normal. ¡°How surprising.¡± Amber praised, while her flames melted down the ice around her. ¡°It seems like you studied how Drakes fought to learn how to actively amplify your Domain the way Drakes do. I must offer my praises to you.¡± ¡°Shut up! I don¡¯t accept any praises from someone that is holding back like you are!¡± At her roar, another Breath Attack was launched from the Dragon. At her words, the flames of the Phoenix rose as a snarl before she completely ignored the Breath piercing her body, flying up to Aurora and cutting her heavily across her chest before sending her crashing to the ground with a wave of flames. As she breathed in and out to calm down, the hole in her chest refilled with flames as she quickly healed thanks to both her own Skills: Innate ¡°Regeneration¡±, various Vital Energy-based Skills and especially her own Racial Skill ¡°Phoenix¡±. This allowed her to heal herself extremely quickly and cheaply while her ¡°Undying Body¡± keep her from losing Vital Energy because of injuries, rendering the previous tactic of exchanging blows more than usable for her. However just because this tactic was effective, it didn¡¯t mean that it was the right one as evident by the fact that the shards of ice around her instantly become sharp, wounding her further. This was far from their first fight and, as such, their respective weak points were easy to exploit by each other. As the ice pierced her, she calmed down before heating up the area around her until the ice sublimated into water vapor before arrows made of fire rained down on Aurora. A wall of ice rose up, meeting the fire half-way up and being constantly destroyed and recreated before finally this bombardment calmed down. ¡°Ahh, sorry, I lost my cool, I suppose. I should not lose control because of the words of a sore loser that isn¡¯t able to beat a young girl two decades younger once in the last fifty times? Sixty? Sorry, I don¡¯t remember how many times I beat you in a row. Tell me, do you remember how many times did you lose onesidely?¡± ¡°You piece of shit. You have an Innate Skill that, even at your age, you never Ranked Up. You could Evolve in a stronger Race and increase in Rank yet you are still a simple D-Rank Phoenix. If you had ever bothered to increases that Skill¡¯s Rank, you would have long since reached C-Rank. What a waste, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°I see¡­ It seems like a certain frozen lizard forgot that for a bird, it is no more than a potential meal, didn¡¯t she? In that case, why don¡¯t you wait, while I proceed to cook my next meal.¡± Fire covered the sky around her, before falling down as a rain of crimson arrows, rain that was stopped by yet another wall of ice before she fell down, her flames dancing around her as she started to spin, her flames being quickly condensed around her to form a drill that pierced straight through the wall. Aurora hurriedly dodged as Amber almost drilled her, before the drill glowed and exploded in a wave of fire that battered her armor, before the Phoenix flew from the fire and cut into her with blazing claws. The wounds distracted her enough for the Fire-Attribute one to release a breath attack made of condensed flames, in a mocking imitation of a Dragon¡¯s Breath Attack, sending her away from her even as she shielded herself with her wings protected by her armor. As she rose, the Dragon didn¡¯t hesitate, releasing a breath of cold all around her to stop the incoming flames before narrowing into a beam that was fluidly dodged by the bird before she flew high in the sky to dodge spikes of ice. Before the battle restarted in earnest, Aurora roared forcing the temperature around them both to sharply decreases, before a cyan Aura covered her. She quickly regenerated her armor before meeting her opponent halfway as talons met claws again in a fierce battle as heat and cold fought incessantly. Aurora roared again, releasing a Breath upon her rival, opponent and enemy, making a new hole in her body and that quickly healed again before quickly dodging two blades made out of flames that the recently wounded one was wielding in her talons that exploded to oscure her sight. Which was quite a strange thing to do considering how her ¡°Soul Sight¡± was more than able to see Amber through her smokestream and she should have been more than aware of that. She didn¡¯t hesitate, releasing another Breath Attack to pierce her opponent only for the fire that was hiding her to solidify in a barrier to block it before fire rained down on her. She swooped down, dodging the fire that however stopped dead before it followed moving around her to limit her possible movements as much as they could. As she somewhat clumsily moved to dodge the fire, she released a Breath to interrupt Amber from sending further waves of attacks at her, before encasing herself in a block of ice that dropped straight to the ground ignoring the fire directly. Once there, the cube exploded, sending sharp shards everywhere. Said shards were quickly melted down by Amber before she fell down in a nosedive while covered in almost solid flames. In response ice spikes rose from the ground trying to skewer her. Having noted that Amber stopped in the air while letting the crimson flames around her advanced forward, meeting the spikes and exploding, leaving the way open for her to resume her attack in earnest, her talons wielding and being covered by two great crimson and flaming blades. As she descended, they were swung in parallel, trying to cut the Dragon in three parts, trying and failing as ice rose to intercept and break them before a Breath attack was released at point blank range, sending her away. ¡°I must offer my compliments. You are quite a bit stronger than you were 3 years ago. And you are even more capable in a fight. Did the little lizard finally start to train seriously now?¡± ¡°Ah ah, I could say the same to you. What is the meaning of all these swords, eh? Taking inspiration from those ones, aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Obviously. If I find something interesting it only makes sense to be able to reproduce it myself, doesn¡¯t it? However, it is quite surprising to hearing you disparage the little ones considering the fact that you bothered to make an armor for yourself. Afraid of a little bit of heat?¡± Amber mocked as her ¡°Rising Sun¡± continued to shine upon the area, increasing slowly the temperature to combat the lowering temperature caused by Aurora¡¯s nature as an Ice Dragon and forcing her to use even more Mana constantly, after all the purpose of this Spell was to force Aurora to spend as much Mana as possible. While Aurora was preparing for the continuation of the fight, her limbs pressed against the ground and her wings and tail moving slowly to prepare, while Amber was slowly flying in place, her talons wielding a couple of crimson blades in her talons. ¡°Tell me, why don¡¯t we fight in a humanoid form?¡± ¡°I see¡­ it seems that your pride is doing its best to crush you, you overgrown lizard. But if you want to lose AGAIN, who am I to refuse?¡± At this point the two of them glowed, one a warm gold with a tiny purple core, while the other glowed a cold azure before leaving behind two humanoid figures. In the place of the Phoenix, there was a 19 years old cute girl, 163 centimeters tall, with flowing golden hairs reaching just past her shoulders, pale skin and orange eyes, wearing a crimson battle dress made entirely by flames and wielding a blade in her right hand made of the same, with a pair of golden wings shining brightly phasing through her dress. In the place of the Ice Dragon, instead, there was an 18 years old attrattive girl, 188 centimeters tall, with long flowing azure hairs, pale skin and vivid red eyes, with her distance from other living beings shown by her azure scales all over her body, a pair of horns, wings and a tail, wearing a light blue dress open on her back for her wings, before a layer of ice formed as armor covering her limbs, chest and forming a crown of ice upon her head. The momentary pause in the fight ended as the two of them rushed in, a blade made of flames meeting a blade of ice once, twice, thrice before the frozen blade finally melted into pieces even with Aurora constantly cooling it, before she found herself hastily dodging the fifth swing, a small cut being burned on her side, her armor blocking most of the damage, before a kick from Amber coated in fire sent her away being followed by a cutting trail of fire. Trail that was stopped by a wall of ice before Aurora flying back, ice forming claws around her hands as she swung multiple times, being able to hit Amber with her palm and sending her flying, her crossed arm minimazing the damage before she stopped herself, fireballs being generated around her, fireballs that she launched towards her opponent. As fireballs rained down upon a wall of ice, Amber ran in, her sword forming a line of ash in the ground, before it was swung meeting one of the ice claw and piercing straight through most of her left hand, before it released a wave of flames. From the flames, the Humanoid Dragon jumped out, her armor being slowly reconstitute as was her wounded right hand. While her scales and her skin in general were quite sturdy as she was a Dragon, she unfortunately didn¡¯t have the ¡°Imperial Scale¡± Innate Skill yet, a matter that wounded her pride further. Meanwhile the golden flames grew hotter and hotter, as slowly Amber exited from them, the flames moving in around her, as her wings opened wide on her back as she prepared to restart the battle, her sword wielded in her left hand starting to vibrate slightly. 9/13 14:21 (Summer, Day; Luna) Luna smiled at what she saw. She watched what, at first sight, looked like the entrance of a normal cave within a mountain. She smiled, entering it only to find herself in a completely different location, still something similar to a cave, it was instead a crypt or at least a place similar to that, with skulls in various places within the ground or in the walls, various candles lit by purple flames illuminating of purple the black stone that is the wall of the entrance. She watched behind herself, finding the entrance to be not an hole in the ground, but a great gate made of the same stone with various carvings of skeletons and similar undead creature. She nodded, a True Arrow launched to one of the skulls. After the Arrow ceased to be, there was no damage on anything already present before her. Her hypothesis was proved correct, this was a Dungeon, a place where enough Miasma was accumulated to the point that a Core was formed and so a new Dimension was created by and around it, a Dimension united yet separated to the external World. She heard it. Pained groans from voices unable to speak intelligently. She saw them. Figures of skin, bone and flesh in various stages of decomposition entering the room she was in. A group of around 7 Zombies, their empty eyes seeking her while an almost physical Aura of black Miasma pulsed from their bodies before they yelled, a piercing noise that seemed to suck the will of those that heard it. Luna¡¯ smile widened as she prepared for combat. Status Total Magicules 57462 (V) Stored Magicules 1550 Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k.

The ammount of Magicules gained is equal to 100 plus the total ammount of Magicules the former owner absorbed. This process is 1 hour long every 100 leters of Blood to convert them, with a 10% conversion efficiency, however with the combination of Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±, the time is instantaneous and the efficiency is of 100%, however this process kills the victim without a doubt. Additionally because of the Innate Skill ¡°Vampirism¡± the efficiency is further enhanced to 105%. #Soul_Harmony A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank times 5 every day. E=1; D=3; C=5; B=7; A=10. At the moment the Owner possesses, other than Soul Harmony: 1 E-Rank; 12 D-Rank Skills; 8 C-Rank Skills. Every day, then, the owner will gain 77 Magicules times 5, 385. #Unique_Arma #Singularity A process to automatically gain Magicules every day equal to the value of Unique Arma¡¯s and Singularity¡¯s Rank. E=100; D=300; C=500; B=700; A=1k At the moment Unique Arma is C-Rank and Singularity is at D-Rank and so, every day, the owner will gain 800 Magicules. Familiars: Vision E Third Eye of Physicality E Weapon Mastery D Warden E Imperial Scale D Physical Resistance E Ash Fire Magecraft D Chapter 16 9/13 14:21 (Summer, Day; Amber & Aurora) Amber moved, her sword burning a line in the ground, before it was swung meeting a shield made of ice. Before said shield cound be pierced, it changed shape forming spikes that tried to impale the Phoenix¡¯s arm, tentative failed as she jumped down, flames trailing behind her as she used them to boost her speed. Before she could even land, her wings opened wide, stopping herself in the air before launching herself back with a thrust. Her sword pierced straight through the shield in Aurora¡¯s right hand, causing a small cut in her arm as she forcefully redirect the strike, the shield shattering into quickly melting pieces and her following swing was interrupted by another frozen blade in the Ice Dragon¡¯s left hand before Amber blocked a strike from a right hand clad in a claw made out of ice, flying back a couple of meters while releasing a couple of trails of fire. Trails that were quickly blocked by a wall of ice. The reason the two of them were moving and reacting faster than when they were bigger was because their power was concentrated in a humanoid form. This however had consequences. The two of them when in their more monstrous-looking forms were incredibly more efficient in their Energy use to the point that with the same ammount of energy Aurora would theorically use to regenerate a whole limb in her Dragon form, a form with a wingspan of 40 meters and 17 meters long, would regenerate only a little more than a forearm if she was in a humanoid form. Additionally the change is proportional to both Vital Energy and Mana; their stamina, physical, mental and even spiritual, is much reduced while in their non-humanoid forms they had no cooldowns and all Spells are considered automatically chanted. However, even if the scale of their power was much reduced, their intesitity was on another level entirely, their being in their entirely was boosted incredibly. The area around Amber was starting to smoke and lit ablaze because of the temperature while the area around Aurora started to freeze and a slight mist was manifestating passively even with the power of the Spell ¡°Rising Sun¡±. ¡°Let¡¯s see what this will do. [Blazing Fang Slash]!¡± Flames were released from all over her body, the area around her starting to being lit ablaze as her ¡°Rising Sun¡± lowered itself from the sky, exploding into fire, as the temperature increased again and again as the flames condensed in her curved blade wielded in her left hand as it quickly lightened from red to orange to yellow to an almost transparent white, her wings opening wide as she prepared. Aurora¡¯s eyes widened in terror as her Territory opened between the two of them causing ice to spawn between the two of them to deflect and minimize the incoming attack as much as possible towards her own left, her wings opened wide as she moved towards her own right at full speed. The blade was swung. A line was burned within the world rendering everything touched into ash. Aurora fell, a scream of pain escaping her mouth. She was luckily able to turn a blow that would have certainly split her in three, with the central part of her body remaining only as ash, into a blow that merely ended the fight, her left arm, wing and part of her tail being cut off with the cut being cauterized. She was barely able to drag herself up panting, needing her remaining arm, to look up at the calmly walking Amber, her left hand presenting some burn marks on her hand that were slowly healing and her blade nowhere to be found. Her own Vital Energy being barely able to heal the burns on her remaining body thanks to her armor that however melted down into a pubble under her. ¡°This is my victory, again. As you can see, I¡¯m not quite used to the last attack, after all this is the first time I used it seriously. For the next time, you should really start to handle your pride seriously, yeah? See you.¡± A small fireball formed on the Phoenix¡¯s right hand that was held to the Dragon¡¯s face, before it exploded sending her crashing down into the ground and almost uncosciousness, her last vision being Amber flying away from her, her own eyes full of a vicious hate for the one before her. She was younger than her by 2 decades. She was not even bothering to use her Innate Skill! She was stronger than her! She was growing faster than her! Even with all of her own training! Even if she herself was equivalent to a 180 years old Dragon while only being 165! She was stronger than herself! She hated her! Hate! Hate! Hate! HateHateHateHateHate! An hate that quickly exploded once her enemy was outside of her vision. An hate that was the birth of a spark. A spark that unleashed an inferno, an inferno that functioned as a trigger. There are only three methods to obtain one¡¯s own Unique Skill. The first being born with one already active, either because of an Irregular Reincarnation like Evan of the Iriblades or because of the otherness of the person like Scarlet was; the rarest method. The second was limited to specific races that automatically obtained them at a certain Racial Rank, like Dragons and Phoenixes at C-Rank for example; the most common method even with the relatively low quantities of such races. The third was caused by an overwhelming amount of emotion, often negative ones, that forced the activation of an Unique Skill. An example of such was Azure of the Iriblades whose despair at the loss of the only person she ever had and ever mattered to her caused the Awakening of her Unique Skill, ¡°Blood Hunt¡±. However, Awakening a Skill in this way has as a conseguence the amplification of the emotions that caused the said Awakening in the first place, the less power of the owner, the more the emotions are amplified in response and the more specific and intense emotion is needed to awaken it in the first place. Azure¡¯s obsession with her sister, Scarlet, become even more twisted as she was just a 12 years old girl being trained by her sister at the time. Aurora finally lost consciousness, barely able to hear the messagge from the World. - 9/13 14:22 (Summer, Day; Luna; Dungeon) As the 7 Zombies moved slowly towards her, Luna pointed towards them. Instantly True Spears appeared around Luna before being launched to her targets. Said targets were pierced through their hearts as they groaned. However they didn¡¯t react further than that, their eyes locked on her without any hesitation. ¡°I see¡­ ¡°Undying Body¡±, is it? How strange, you all are too weak to naturally have that Innate Skill, especially considerating how all of you are normal Zombies at E-Rank. This is a Dungeon of undeads, after all. I suppose this is to be expected from such a place.¡± The Zombies casually ripped the Spears out of their bodies, starting to walk towards the only being there alive. Luna measured the way the Zombies handled the damage. ¡°Normally wounding someone or something would constantly consume Vital Energy to keep them functional until the wound is healed. However, ¡°Undying Body¡± negates this drain while keeping the owner fully functional, so long as the owner has Vital Energy.¡± She watched as the wound regenerated extremely slowly without the use of any Vital Energy or Mana. ¡°¡°Undying Body¡± at D-Rank judging by the fact it automatically heals and the slowness of such healing. Oh well, at least it is not C-Rank.¡± This judgement was calmly and positively uttered as she was quite well aware of the effect it gains at this Rank, which would render fighting them so boring she may have been tempted to just blow everything up and leave right then and there. Before they could reach her, she simply stepped forward and punched the one nearest to her, releasing a Mana Burst in tandem with her punch, sending it flying back with its chest caved in. The other six tried to grab her, but she casually stepped back, out of their own and their Auras range, before thrusting with a True Spear through another one, spear whose head quickly changed into a scythe that she used to forcefully separate said Zombies into two while the scythe continued on to impale another one. Without any hesitation, her weapon transformed again, separating the blade from the shaft that became another spear. Meanwhile the impaled zombie was immobilized as a True Viper was manifested from the blade and started to constrict it. While Zombies had no need for breathing, if a Zombie cannot move it is easy to ignore. As the upper part of the bisected Zombie tried to regenerate the missing parts passively, she grabbed it with a True Tail, a very recent Shape inspired like her True Viper by, well snakes. Said scaled tail used it as a weapon to smash it against another one, sending it crashing towards a third one, before clenching hard around the one she grabbed, crushing it. As a result of the first part of the combat, one Zombie had its chest caved in, another was cut in two with its upper half reduced to bloody chunks and two were sent to the ground. The remaining two moved in to strike at her, their Auras surrounding them ready to suck the life out of her, and nails ready to rake her body. This tentative assault was casually dodged before a True Greatsword two meters long and 40 centimeters large, misuring only the blade was swung by Luna¡¯s hands, severing the Zombies legs at the knees before with the same movement, slamming the Greatsword down into one of them, smashing it in two. The Greatsword was Mana Forged not with ¡°Mana Burst¡±, but with ¡°Release¡±, that proceeded to convert it into its entirely into pure destructive power released to the sides, leaving behind only the end of its limbs. As it struggled to regenerate from its left leg, she Casted another True Viper that attacked the limbs that started to regenerate. A True Viper was a semiautomatic drone she made with the express purpose to fight without any need of being directly controlled once it had its orders and rules. In this case, Viper 2 had the order to attack the limb that started to regenerate until it stopped and a new one started to. The reason is that ¡°Undying Body¡± started to heal by the most important piece, whether by size or organs amount, independently from its Rank. The Lunarian moved towards the other Zombie on the ground, True Arrows rained down upon it. As the first Zombie hit and the other two sent away rose from the ground, Luna was thinking about how to render her Vipers more effective. She Casted another one around herself before breathing in and out, concentrating on her own Familiars, more specifically Vision and trying to Summon it in a particular way. The Innate Skill ¡°Familiar Summoning¡± allowed someone to Summon Familiars using Mana or other things, in her case her own Black Blood and her True Shapes were made mixing together the Skills of ¡°Mana Shaping¡± using Vital Mana and ¡°Black Blood Manipulation¡± and so the next step was simple, but complex. She Summoned her first Familiar using the third Viper as its body to a simple result. The Viper gained a third eye on its front while all its eyes started to glow slightly and its tail and eyes become sharper. She nodded to herself before doing the same with the other two, the first Summoned, the one that was holding a Zombie stationary, now held Warden, becoming slightly bigger and whose scale become even more sturdy. Meanwhile the second Viper was now holding Ash, her newest Familiar, obtaining red flaming eyes and a red glow from its mouth from which flames leaked every now and then. This Viper watched the remaining pieces that it broke apart into 9 pieces before opening its mouth, releasing a wave of flames to start to burn the pieces of flesh to ash. This forced the Zombie being burned to spend its Vital Energy to quickly heal as much as it could before it died completely. The Viper ceased to release the fire after a total of around seven seconds, entering a fourteen seconds cooldown for the version of the Ability Skill ¡°Fire Magecraft¡± it had, before biting down on the healing Zombies and trying to bind its regenerating limbs in place. Neither of the Vipers had any problem with the ¡°Miasmic Aura¡± as they had no life to suck in the first place and so, while the first Viper was stopping a Zombie with great ease thanks to ¡°Physical Resistance¡±, she used ¡°Imperial Scale¡± to create a barrier, that was effected by the previous Skill thanks to its effects, to slow down the incoming Zombies, entering a two seconds cooldown for this Skill because of the size of the Cast barrier. Luna didn¡¯t hesitate, Casting various True Knife in the air around her, Mana Forged with Release, ready to fire a couple of moments before the barrier broke. She turned back to the Zombie impaled by Arrows forming an Hammer and smashing heavily down on its chest, triggering the Mana Burst within the arrows and making numerous holes within the body while transforming her own Tail to a great Viper¡¯s head that opened wide before closing violently around the Zombie, crushing it into paste before spitting the resulting paste in the ground as the legs that were starting to regenerate instead were crushed against the ground by said tail. The paste quickly regenerated using most of its Vital Energy and as the barrier broke, it and all the free Zombies were rained down upon by the knifes that exploded on contact with them, reducing all of them to small chunks. Before they could regenerate fully, the cooldown of Ash finally ended and so they prepared. The Zombies held by her two Vipers were thrown were the others¡¯ chunks were before Luna and Warden made a barrier around them before Ash released a stream of fire within it, turning the inside of the barrier in a lake of fire while leaving the barrier intact. The Zombies finally died before she sucked in the blood that was on the ground by using ¡°Black Blood Manipulation¡± as the way to move them. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. X7 This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it Unfortunately, Monsters owned by a Dungeon had no Soul for her to absorb, being more similar to her own True Vipers than actual Monsters or living beings in general. She nodded to herself before moving to the next room, her Vipers returning to her, reducing in size until all three of them could be underneath her clothes. She found no problem with that, considering how she they were a part of her and that she liked snakes. It was now time to proceed. Status Total Magicules 58197 (V) Stored Magicules 2285 Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner¡¯s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased resistance to all attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill. Also at D-Rank you can now use Vital Energy to control your own Blood and Mana to control and shape shadows. Unique: Singularity D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any elemental magic of any type. However magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any element will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and Energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally limits on magical affinities, Energy Control and Conversion Efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at this Rank will be that the increases in an elemental affinity will, instead, increases non-elemental affinity. At D-Rank, all sustain costs are negated and the stability of any construct made of Energy is brought to the maximum. Growth: Soul Harmony C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) This Skill denotes that the owner¡¯s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner¡¯s energy in general and both their growth speed and their potential. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules equal to the total Rank of all their other Skills times 5. At D-Rank the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana well are further increased. At C-Rank, the owner¡¯s Soul is further in harmony with itself reducing sharply Cooldowns while enhancing their existence Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) A person is considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether it is active or not. This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types. This armament is able to strenghten both its owner¡¯s existence and their Spell, Technique and Crafting by increasing the ammount of Energy in them without actually using any automatically. Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. This Skill manifests for the moment as two gloves covering up to most of the owner¡¯s forearm and armor that covers the owner¡¯s feet and most of their foreleg; principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist. At D-Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner. At C-Rank, while it is manifested, it additionally enhances the existance of the owner further and it will be able to awaken by using the command ¡°Awaken!¡±. Awaken State: While in the Awakened State, all incoming damage is sharply reduced while the power of all Energy Uses is sharply increased further. The cooldown is of one hour plus the Activation Duration. While it is Awakened, it constantly absorbs Vital Mana from the User. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules depending on this and the corresponding¡¯s Unique Skill Ranks. Innate: Regeneration C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) This Skill denotes that the owner is able to passively and automatically generate and heal themselves using Vital Energy. In this case, however, this Skill function as an enhancement towards the healing caused by the nature of the owner as a Lunarian. At D-Rank this Skill also further increases the well of Vital Energy and Mana of the owner. At C-Rank, the owner is more resilient to alteration of status and heals even faster. Innate: Blood Gift D Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill notes the owner¡¯s affinity with Blood, healing and Vital Energy in general by allowing it to convert the first in the latter. However, this function as an enhancement to this process if, like in this case, the owner can already do such. Finally, if the previous situation is true, it allows the transfer of Vital Energy to heal others by allowing them to drink the owner¡¯s Blood at a reduced efficiency, except in this case because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill and so the efficiency isn¡¯t lowered. Thanks to Authority: Vital Mana, this Skill can transfer Vital Mana, Mana or Vital Energy to the target. At D-Rank this Skill further increases the speed at which Mana and Vital Energy are generated in the owner. Innate: Vampirism C Magicules: 1k/10m (IV) A Skill that denotes someone¡¯s thirst for blood, both biologically and mentally. In someone who is not naturally vampiric, this Skill allows them to gain sustenance and some Magicules from Blood. However, in a natural vampiric being, it enhances the effects of said process slightly and further increases the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana Well. Additionally, in either cases, it allows the ability to sense and read Blood in a range depending on the Grade this and the Racial Skill. At D-Rank this Skill allows the owner to store objects and non-living beings within the owner¡¯s shadow. At C-Rank, this Skill increases temporary the power of the owner by consuming Blood, either their own or others, depending on its quality. Innate: Blood Forging D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the ability to use the owner¡¯s blood to enhance an object beyond its limits. At D-Rank the ammount of Blood needed to activate Blood Forging is greatly reduced and the owner¡¯s Vital Energy recovery is increased. Innate: Authority: Vital Mana D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the authority of the owner over the use of Vital Mana. It automatically fuses together Vital Energy and Mana within the owner and counts it as either parts with much higher efficiency, quality, control, quantity and recovery speed. Thanks to Singularity, the efficiency of the fusion of Vital Energy and Mana is set to a minimum of 100%. At D-Rank, the potency of Vital Mana is increased further. Innate: Familiar Summoning D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise. In this case, the number of Maximum Familiar is negated because of the owner being a Lunarian, so long as all Familiars are made by the Lunarian Skill, even if they still require Vital Energy and Mana to be Summoned. Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. At D-Rank, the Familiars can increase in Rank. Innate: Black Blood Manipulation D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill shows the ability of the owner to fuse the shadow and the blood of the owner within and without the owner¡¯s body to create a black fluid that is considered as both blood and shadow. Additionally, thanks to both Singularity and Authority: Vital Mana, both the blood and the shadow of the owner is passively changed to this substance, enhancing the owner¡¯s existence further. At D-Rank, this Skill changes the nature of the blood further, enhaning the recovery and the quantity of both Mana and Vital Energy of the owner. Ability: No Attribute Sorcery C This Skill denotes the ease and ability with which the owner uses No Attribute Sorcery increasing the owner non-elemental affinity and the Power of No Attribute Sorceries. No Attribute Sorcery is based upon the use of Mana untainted by any attribute within the owner¡¯s body and without any chant, magical circle or other similar ways based entirely on the owner¡¯s willpower. At D-Rank this Skill increases the ease with which the owner can manipolate Mana. At C-Rank this Skill increases the Non-elemental Affinity of the owner. Ability: Mana Shaping C This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to shape Mana outside their body throught willpower alone. This Skill enhance additionally the Power of the owner¡¯s Shapes and the control of their Mana. The process by which Mana Shapes are made depends on the owner¡¯s control of their Mana, this Skill and the Skill and magical affinity in a type of sorcery from which the shape is formed dealing damage based on it. In this case, however, the Mana efficiency derived by the owner¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± is such that all Mana Shape are transparent except for their outline. At D-Rank Mana Shapes can now be considered as independent creations, no longer needing explicit mental commands. At C-Rank Mana Shapes can now be freely manipulated depending on Mana Control both in aspect and function. Ability: Unharmed Technique C This Skill denotes the ability of the owner without the use of a weapon or with only fist-type weapons and increases the Power of Techniques used with their own body. At D-Rank this Skill increases the owner Vital Energy Quantity and Recovery. At C-Rank this Skill enhance the owner¡¯s body even further. Ability: Mana Forging D This Skill denotes the owner¡¯s ability to actualize the process to enhance something, using the owner¡¯s own Mana as a medium, with a Spell. At D-Rank this Skill increases the passive generation of the Mana of the owner and greatly reduce the time needed to activate this Skill with the same ammount of Mana.

Deep Meditation: While in Active Meditation, the user becomes more resistant to Status Alteration and recovers from them faster. While in Active Meditation, the user¡¯s Energy is recovered faster. To activate it, 1000 seconds of Meditation is the base Activation Time required. Thanks to High-Speed Processing D, Deep Meditation¡¯s Activation Time and Recovery speed are both 1,3 times faster. Because of Parallel Processing, it is possible to mantain a permament Deep Meditation by using 1 Process. Ability: Presence Suppression D This Skill shows the degree of the owner¡¯s ability to hide one¡¯s own presence. Thanks to Singularity, all form of Energy within the owner is passively hidden.

Magicules sources. #Lunarian #Singularity #Vampirism A process to convert 100 leters of Blood in Magicules, the number of which depends on the owner of said blood. The ammount of Magicules gained is equal to 100 plus the total ammount of Magicules the former owner absorbed. This process is 1 hour long every 100 leters of Blood to convert them, with a 10% conversion efficiency, however with the combination of Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±, the time is instantaneous and the efficiency is of 100%, however this process kills the victim without a doubt. Additionally because of the Innate Skill ¡°Vampirism¡± the efficiency is further enhanced to 105%. #Soul_Harmony A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank times 5 every day. E=1; D=3; C=5; B=7; A=10. At the moment the Owner possesses, other than Soul Harmony: 1 E-Rank; 12 D-Rank Skills; 8 C-Rank Skills. Every day, then, the owner will gain 77 Magicules times 5, 385. #Unique_Arma #Singularity A process to automatically gain Magicules every day equal to the value of Unique Arma¡¯s and Singularity¡¯s Rank. E=100; D=300; C=500; B=700; A=1k At the moment Unique Arma is C-Rank and Singularity is at D-Rank and so, every day, the owner will gain 800 Magicules. Familiars: Vision E Third Eye of Physicality E Weapon Mastery D Warden E Imperial Scale D Physical Resistance E Ash Fire Magecraft D Chapter 17 9/13 14:41 (Summer, Sunset; Luna; Dungeon) Luna barely entered the next room before she had to make a barrier to shield herself from arrows launched by a group of three Skeletons guarded by a group of five Zombies that started to walk towards her, their ¡°Miasmic Aura¡± covering all of the Undeads before her. She analyzed them quickly in her mind. ¡°Skeletons are less defensive than Zombies, especially when it comes to blunt weapons, however they are more¡­ intelligent, i suppose, even if without having any actual brain and actually being able to use weapons.¡± She noted the Skeletons¡¯ bows. The second valley of arrows from the skeleton, sent as a distraction for the Zombies, were met by a volley of True Arrows that exploded on contact, sending them off course, before she moved towards the Zombies, her Wings spreading around her, becoming sharp as if made of swords, Mana Forged to maximize the sharpness of the blades, and falling on the Zombies, cutting them into ribbons. Without any hesitation, her Ash-Viper released a breath of flames to the Zombie while Luna stepped forward hard and launching a True Mace to one of the Skeletons. As it moved towards its left to dodge, the Skeleton crashed against a barrier from her Warden-Viper, stunning it enough for her Mace to shatters its ribcage, bringing it to its knees. She watched as its bones started to passively heal before nodding to herself. ¡°It is not only the Zombies. Almost certainly every single Undead of this Dungeon will have ¡°Undying Body¡± at D-Rank, at least. Let¡¯s hope D-Rank is the highest Rank of this Skill present.¡± From the Mace, Vision-Viper attacked with its tail, whose tip was now an hammer head, the fallen Skeleton by swinging down on its skull, crashing it, before forcefully taking its bow and stringing it by using its tail and mouth, shoting an arrow through the head of another Skeleton, distracting it and the third enough for Luna to grab its head and crushing it in her hands before shattering one of its legs with an harsh kick. As it fell, Luna grabbed it by its shoulder with one hand and by its remaining knee with the other, rose it high before breaking its spine on her knee while releasing a [Mana Burst] to split it in two, with the two parts still grabbed by her hands. Without any hesitation, she slammed the two parts in the ground, releasing another two [Mana Burst] from her hands, reducing most of its body to shards of bones. Luna arose then, Ash-Viper leaving from her sleave with the order to burning the bone shards the moment its cooldown ended, before turning towards the one with an arrow in its skull and running at it. This one dropped its bow to take the sword at its side to try and hit her only for its right leg to be destroyed by Vision-Viper¡¯s tail causing the skeleton to fall while Luna dodged to his right, two swords in her hands cutting twice straight through its body before she spun around, a great hammer falling upon the body and exploding in a wave of force. As the Zombies were healing, she rained down True Arrows, Mana Forged with [Release], on them. This buyed her enough time to reflect on the first Spell she ever Casted as a Lunarian, ¡°Stats Enhancement¡±. That was a Spell made when the Rules were much different than now and so it is time to change it in a new one, especially considering how she had ¡°Mana-Clad Warrior¡±, a Spell already incompatible with ¡°Stats Enhancement¡±. And so, it comes times to make a new and original Spell. ¡°[Awaken]!¡± Instantly, her Arma manifested and ascended its material composition, becoming pure energy, even if with the same coloration of a mostly black light with white and iridescent accents. This sharply enhanced her use of Energy and the Energy themselves in their entirely; her control was the most important thing in this situation as a wrong move with her Energy and she would destroy her own organs. Her ¡°Black Blood Manipulation¡± was spreading within her own body while her ¡°Meditation¡± was active in a Parallel Process, making sure to concentrate to the maximum. This, however, was only the first step as she surrounded herself in her [Mana-Clad Warrior] to both make sure her new Spell will be compatible with this one and to held herself in place if, for example, she exploded into pieces to minimize the needed Vital Mana to heal if necessary. At this, and only this, point she started to move the Vital Mana within her body to enhance not only her own body or magical abilities, but every aspect of her being being enhanced, Soul included. And this enhancement spread affected three Skills in particular: Growth Skill ¡°Unique Arma¡± C, Growth Skill ¡°Soul Harmony¡± C and, most importantly, Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± D. As a result, the speed of the Regeneration of Energy is vastly increased, being able to regenerate more than her own ¡°Unique Arma¡± will consume while Awakened with the power of her Unique Skill increased slightly while the sustain cost of all of her active Spells, in this case [Mana-Clad Warrior] and her new Spell, was negated by the enhancement on her Unique Skill. She smiled at this before naming her new Spell. ¡°[Greater Self]. Yes, this is an appropriate name for this Spell.¡± She watched as the Undead were healing before calling her Vipers back to her. The next step was a simple experiment, the Shaping of a rain of True Daggers Mana Forged with her new Spell to test it and the result certaintly was worth the process as not only were the Shapes enhanced as much as if she had Mana Forged them with ¡°Stats Enhancement¡±, but it also had an additional effect. That of being able to Mana Forge it again, with a different Spell that would be boosted slightly by [Greater Self]. She choose [Release] as the Spell. The difference between [Mana Burst] and [Release] when Mana Forged is simple. [Release] destroys the object Mana Forged and renders it more unstable in exchange for much more destructive range and power. The knifes fell. The room exploded continuosly and so all the Undeads present shattered into pieces. Her Black Blood scoured the room breaking down everything they found into blood for her to drink. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. X8 Once they finished, she sighed before looking at her Wings, Tail and the three Familiar-Viper and Dispelling them. She was in no danger, after all none of the Undead survived behind ripped apart by the previous waves of force ripping the room apart while she was unharmed thanks to her Awakened Unique Arma and [Mana-Clad Warrior]. She Shaped a pair of True Wings, her True Tail and the three Familiar-Vipers before Mana Forging all six of them with both [Greater Self] and [Mana-Clad Warrior]. The result was simple, her Wings and Tail covered in a dense layer of additional Vital Mana and so were the True Vipers in which she Summoned her Familiars. Her Familiar-Vipers changed even further than that depending on their Skills. Vision-Viper presented even sharpers blades and, in addiction to the third eye in the center, it presented various addictional eyes all over to maximize the use of its original Skill. Warden-Viper was even larger with the start of horns growing from its head and its scale were forming a spine of spikes going from the base of its head to its tail. Ash-Viper¡¯s layer of Vital Mana was hot and composed entirely of flames that however didn¡¯t burn either herself or her Shapes. This process vastly increased the power of her Familiar-Vipers and her own options in battle. Her creation of her new Spell was without a doubt worth it. Blood flowed to her mouth and so did a small amount of Magicules. As she laughed, moving to the next room, she found herself before another, even bigger group of Undeads. Eight Zombies, four Skeleton armed with bows and swords for emergencies and two Liches at the back wielding long staffs made out of bones with a skull on top, already chanting ¡°Curse-Attribute Magecrafts¡±, a much more threatening Room than any of the previous. She smiled even wider, letting them continue Casting while casually observing them, all of her Spells except her Shapes already shut down before she even entered the room as was the Awakening of her ¡°Unique Arma¡±. The E-Ranked Undeads didn¡¯t attack her, content to wait for the Curses from the Liches to be Casted on their enemy. Finally, after a couple of minutes the two finally finished Casting the Spells, as signaled by a final and loud groan, causing the Purple Magical Circles above them to glow and releasing a purple Aura all over the floor, Aura that quickly converged on Luna. ¡°[Curse of Fragility] and [Curse of Instability]. Yet this took too much time to Cast for such a simple effect. Hm, I see. An increase Chanting time in exchange for a lower cost. Additionally it also increased the ability of the Curses to ignore defenses. But this doesn¡¯t explain the biggest differences from other Curses.¡± She watched as the two Liches started to Chant again, noting difference between the Curses of now and before. ¡°This is strange. I suppose with the two Curses on me, they can afford to lower the armor-piercing quality, saving on time, but this doesn¡¯t explain another thing. At the time they are Chanting, the previous Spell should have been started around when I entered this Dungeon. Not only that, but my Vital Mana is not fighting it nor are the two Curses fighting each other.¡± As the two Liches continued to Chant, she observed them, finding her response to the last question. The Spell was anchored to the Dungeon itself, both in targeting and maintenance. A very interesting way to use Dungeons and one Dungeon Monsters would never used on their own without directions. Without someone to give them direction. Someone that without a doubt modified all Monsters within which also explained the fact all of them had ¡°Undying Body¡±. It was to buy time. She watched the two Liches noting how their ¡°Miasmic Auras¡± weren¡¯t simple like the other Undeads, but instead consisted of hands and skulls grasping at life. Their ¡°Miasmic Aura¡± was not No-Attribute like the other Undeads, but Curse-Attribute instead, able to actively suck Energy out of everything within towards the owner instead of damaging everything within, thing that would actually affect her Shapes. ¡°However, only two Curses were Casted on me when there should be stronger Undead on the lower floors, so there is a limitation.¡± She continued to observe the two Liches before understanding downed on her. ¡°I see. While the Curses will last beyond the Caster¡¯s death, so long as I am in this Dungeon, they can only be targeted in the same Floor. Additionally, while they exchanged Mana Cost for Casting Time, the plan was for the rest of this floor to buy at least enough time to inflict the Curses, Curses that would render the next floors quite a bit harder while lowering my Resistance to Curses in general. How smart.¡± Her flow of Vital Mana within her body was only marginally affected by the [Curse of Instability] considering her own immense Control, however this would still slow down her healing and the use of Energy in general. And, additionally, this should be the last Room before the Floor Boss. She saw all she cared to see. It was time to restart the battle then. She went straight for the Liches, moving at full speed differently from any other of her fight within the Dungeon. She was a D-Rank Lunarian, her body was simply superior to any other Person and her opponents were slow E-Rank Undeads. She was fast enough that none of them were able to react to her instantaneous movement as she moved to between the two Liches, her Wings becoming two blades, one within each of her hand, two blades specialized for decapitation that were swung, severing two heads and interrupting the Chanting, causing the Circle to malfuction released a rain of Curse-Attribute on everyone within the room. This didn¡¯t matter much, after all every single Undead within was already Resistant to Curse and Luna was at D-Rank. The silver-haired one didn¡¯t hesitate, her blades becoming Great Hammers that fell upon the two corpses, reducing them to bone shards and ending the draing of Vital Mana from her and her Shapes. Ash-Viper opened its mouth releasing a vast torrent of almost-liquid fire to the cealing, torrent that rained down upon the whole room except the area immediately around Luna that was protected by a Barrier made from Warden-Viper. The reason fire was so effective against Undeads was that, not only were they normally particularly weak to it, but because of the nature of the Fire Attribute, the Undead, even those with ¡°Undying Body¡±, were forced to continuosly burn Vital Energy to survive until either the flames went out or they became ash and died. ¡°Undying Body¡± could simply be bypassed if the owner of the Skill was ripped apart into enough small pieces or had no Vital Energy to heal anymore. Thing fire was very effective in, especially considering how thanks to the upgrade to Ash-Viper, her flames were vastly hotter, more than able to destroy every Monster in the room. She nodded to herself at the confirmation, her Curses were still present and showed no semblance of weakening. She drunk the blood in the room as the battle already ended. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. X12 *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Familiar Summoning¡±¡¯s Rank increased to C-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Familiars ¡°Vision¡± and ¡°Warden¡±¡¯s Rank increased to D-Rank because of ¡°Familiar Summoning¡±. She smiled happily at the increase in power of her oldest Familiars before moving towards what she was now sure was the gate leading to the Boss of this Floor, her wings again at her back and her Familiar-Vipers underneath her mantle. She opened it, causing an iridescent light to burst forth. Once she could see again, she found herself in a completely different place, an arena with the floor made of bones floating in a sea of darkness, alone if one didn¡¯t consider her opponent. An Undead Abomination, made of dozens of corpses fused together in a mass of flesh and bones, with eyes observing every directions, mouths smiling cruelly at her and a Curse-Attribute ¡°Miasmic Aura¡± even stronger than the Liches¡¯ one as the D-Rank Monster, boosted further by the fact it was a Dungeon Boss, prepared to fight, releasing a scream of pain from its innumerably mouth with a specific effect, even if with a somewhat long cooldown of 10 minutes. Luna groaned at the sound as her Curses flared up, increasing in potency and not temporaly, but as long as they were active, ergo so long as she was in the Dungeon, probably even after the death of the Boss before her. ¡°I see, so this is the function of the first Floor. Cursing whoever entered with as many relatively weak Curses as possible and then strenghening said Curses with the Boss as many time as possible. A relatively cheap and efficient strategy to make use out of limited power.¡± The battle started in earnest. Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. Status Total Magicules 60297 (V) Stored Magicules 4385 Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner¡¯s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased resistance to all attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill. Also at D-Rank you can now use Vital Energy to control your own Blood and Mana to control and shape shadows. Unique: Singularity D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any elemental magic of any type. However magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any element will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and Energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally limits on magical affinities, Energy Control and Conversion Efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at E-Rank will be that the increases in an elemental affinity will, instead, increases non-elemental affinity. At D-Rank, all sustain costs are negated and the stability of any construct made of Energy is brought to the maximum. Growth: Soul Harmony C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) This Skill denotes that the owner¡¯s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner¡¯s energy in general and both their growth speed and their potential. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules equal to the total Rank of all their other Skills times 5. At D-Rank the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana well are further increased. At C-Rank, the owner¡¯s Soul is further in harmony with itself reducing sharply Cooldowns while enhancing their existence Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity C #Singularity Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) A person is considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether it is active or not. This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types. This armament is able to strenghten both its owner¡¯s existence and their Spell, Technique and Crafting by increasing the ammount of Energy in them without actually using any automatically. Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. This Skill manifests for the moment as two gloves covering up to most of the owner¡¯s forearm and armor that covers the owner¡¯s feet and most of their foreleg; principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist. At D-Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner. At C-Rank, while it is manifested, it additionally enhances the existance of the owner further and it will be able to awaken by using the command ¡°Awaken!¡±. Awaken State: While in the Awakened State, all incoming damage is sharply reduced while the power of all Energy Uses is sharply increased further. The cooldown is of one hour plus the Activation Duration. While it is Awakened, it constantly absorbs Vital Mana from the User. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules depending on this and the corresponding¡¯s Unique Skill Ranks. Innate: Regeneration C #Lunarian Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) This Skill denotes that the owner is able to passively and automatically generate and heal themselves using Vital Energy. In this case, however, this Skill function as an enhancement towards the healing caused by the nature of the owner as a Lunarian. At D-Rank this Skill also further increases the well of Vital Energy and Mana of the owner. At C-Rank, the owner is more resilient to alteration of status and heals even faster. Innate: Blood Gift D #Lunarian #Authority:Vital_Mana Magicules: 1k/100k. (IV) This Skill notes the owner¡¯s affinity with Blood, healing and Vital Energy in general by allowing it to convert the first in the latter. However, this function as an enhancement to this process if, like in this case, the owner can already do such. Finally, if the previous situation is true, it allows the transfer of Vital Energy to heal others by allowing them to drink the owner¡¯s Blood at a reduced efficiency, except in this case because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill and so the efficiency isn¡¯t lowered. Thanks to Authority: Vital Mana, this Skill can transfer Vital Mana, Mana or Vital Energy to the target. At D-Rank this Skill further increases the speed at which Mana and Vital Energy are generated in the owner. Innate: Vampirism C #Lunarian Magicules: 1k/10m (IV) A Skill that denotes someone¡¯s thirst for blood, both biologically and mentally. In someone who is not naturally vampiric, this Skill allows them to gain sustenance and some Magicules from Blood. However, in a natural vampiric being, it enhances the effects of said process slightly and further increases the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana Well. Additionally, in either cases, it allows the ability to sense and read Blood in a range depending on the Grade this and the Racial Skill. At D-Rank this Skill allows the owner to store objects and non-living beings within the owner¡¯s shadow. At C-Rank, this Skill increases temporary the power of the owner by consuming Blood, either their own or others, depending on its quality. Innate: Blood Forging D #Lunarian #Singularity #Unique_Arma Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill denotes the ability to use the owner¡¯s blood to enhance an object beyond its limits. At D-Rank the ammount of Blood needed to activate Blood Forging is greatly reduced and the owner¡¯s Vital Energy recovery is increased. Innate: Authority: Vital Mana D Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) #Singularity This Skill denotes the authority of the owner over the use of Vital Mana. It automatically fuses together Vital Energy and Mana within the owner and counts it as either parts with much higher efficiency, quality, control, quantity and recovery speed. Thanks to Singularity, the efficiency of the fusion of Vital Energy and Mana is set to a minimum of 100%. At D-Rank, the potency of Vital Mana is increased further. Innate: Familiar Summoning D ¡ú C #Lunarian #Authority:Vital_Mana Magicules: 1k/10m (IV) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise. In this case, the number of Maximum Familiar is negated because of the owner being a Lunarian, so long as all Familiars are made by the Lunarian Skill, even if they still require Vital Energy and Mana to be Summoned. Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. At D-Rank, the Familiars can increase in Rank when it comes to Skills, up to the Rank of this Skill. (New) At C-Rank, the Familiars can increase in its own Rank, up to 1 Rank lower than this Skill¡¯s. Innate: Black Blood Manipulation D #Lunarian #Singularity #Authority:Vital_Mana Magicules: 1k/100k (IV) This Skill shows the ability of the owner to fuse the shadow and the blood of the owner within and without the owner¡¯s body to create a black fluid that is considered as both blood and shadow. Additionally, thanks to both Singularity and Authority: Vital Mana, both the blood and the shadow of the owner is passively changed to this substance, enhancing the owner¡¯s existence further. At D-Rank, this Skill changes the nature of the blood further, enhaning the recovery and the quantity of both Mana and Vital Energy of the owner. Ability: No Attribute Sorcery C #Authority:Vital_Mana This Skill denotes the ease and ability with which the owner uses No Attribute Sorcery increasing the owner non-elemental affinity and the Power of No Attribute Sorceries. No Attribute Sorcery is based upon the use of Mana untainted by any attribute within the owner¡¯s body and without any chant, magical circle or other similar ways based entirely on the owner¡¯s willpower. At D-Rank this Skill increases the ease with which the owner can manipolate Mana. At C-Rank this Skill increases the Non-elemental Affinity of the owner. Ability: Mana Shaping C #Authority:Vital_Mana This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to shape Mana outside their body throught willpower alone. This Skill enhance additionally the Power of the owner¡¯s Shapes and the control of their Mana. The process by which Mana Shapes are made depends on the owner¡¯s control of their Mana, this Skill and the Skill and magical affinity in a type of sorcery from which the shape is formed dealing damage based on it. In this case, however, the Mana efficiency derived by the owner¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± is such that all Mana Shape are transparent except for their outline. At D-Rank Mana Shapes can now be considered as independent creations, no longer needing explicit mental commands. At C-Rank Mana Shapes can now be freely manipulated depending on Mana Control both in aspect and function. Ability: Unharmed Technique C This Skill denotes the ability of the owner without the use of a weapon or with only fist-type weapons and increases the Power of Techniques used with their own body. At D-Rank this Skill increases the owner Vital Energy Quantity and Recovery. At C-Rank this Skill enhance the owner¡¯s body even further. Ability: Mana Forging D #Singularity #Unique_Arma #Authority:Vital_Mana This Skill denotes the owner¡¯s ability to actualize the process to enhance something, using the owner¡¯s own Mana as a medium, with a Spell. At D-Rank this Skill increases the passive generation of the Mana of the owner and greatly reduce the time needed to activate this Skill with the same ammount of Mana. Ability: Weapon Mastery D This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to use weapons and techniques at their maximum possible potential in combat or not. This Skill will also absorbed all other weapon Skills in itself being strengthened for each. This Skill greatly increases the owner Vital Energy capacity and regeneration and the power of technique, spells and crafting related to weapons. At D-Rank, this Skill decreases the cost of all Techniques using weapons. Ability: Artifact Proficiency E #Unique_Arma The power of all Artifacts attuned with the owner is increased slightly. Ability: Meditation C #Lunarian #Soul_Harmony #High-Speed_Processing #Parallel_Processing This Skill normally lowers the time needed to sleep however a Lunarian has no need for that and, as such, this Skill instead increases the efficiency of the use of all Energy of the owner. At D-Rank, the owner can now enter in Deep Meditation. At C-Rank, this Skill increases the owner¡¯s control over their Energy and boosts Deep Meditation. Deep Meditation: While in Active Meditation, the user becomes more resistant to Status Alteration and recovers from them faster. While in Active Meditation, the user¡¯s Energy is recovered faster. To activate it, 1000 seconds of Meditation is the base Activation Time required. Thanks to High-Speed Processing D, Deep Meditation¡¯s Activation Time and Recovery speed are both 1,3 times faster. Because of Parallel Processing, it is possible to mantain a permament Deep Meditation by using 1 Process. Ability: Presence Suppression D #Singularity This Skill shows the degree of the owner¡¯s ability to hide one¡¯s own presence. Thanks to Singularity, all form of Energy within the owner is passively hidden. At D-Rank, the owner¡¯s Presence Suppression is spread also to their Weapons and Familiars. Ability: High-Speed Processing D This Skill speeds up the perception of the owner. At D-Rank, this Skill is applied also to the owner¡¯s Familiars and other Processing-Type Skill. Ability: Parallel Processing D #High-Speed_Processing. This Skills shows the ability of the owner to process information through multiple thoughts at once. At this Rank, it allows 3 extra Processing. At D-Rank, this Skill increases the control of the owner on Energy. Magicules sources. #Lunarian #Singularity #Vampirism A process to convert 100 leters of Blood in Magicules, the number of which depends on the owner of said blood. The ammount of Magicules gained is equal to 100 plus the total ammount of Magicules the former owner absorbed. This process is 1 hour long every 100 leters of Blood to convert them, with a 10% conversion efficiency, however with the combination of Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±, the time is instantaneous and the efficiency is of 100%, however this process kills the victim without a doubt. Additionally because of the Innate Skill ¡°Vampirism¡± the efficiency is further enhanced to 105%. #Soul_Harmony A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank times 5 every day. E=1; D=3; C=5; B=7; A=10. At the moment the Owner possesses, other than Soul Harmony: 1 E-Rank; 11 D-Rank Skills; 9 C-Rank Skills. Every day, then, the owner will gain 79 Magicules times 5, 395. #Unique_Arma #Singularity A process to automatically gain Magicules every day equal to the value of Unique Arma¡¯s and Singularity¡¯s Rank. E=100; D=300; C=500; B=700; A=1k At the moment Unique Arma is C-Rank and Singularity is at D-Rank and so, every day, the owner will gain 800 Magicules. Familiars: Vision E ¡ú D Third Eye of Physicality E Weapon Mastery D Warden E ¡ú D Imperial Scale D Physical Resistance E Ash E Fire Magecraft D Spells (Lost) Stats Enhancement Mana Burst Release Mana-Clad Warrior (New) Greater Self Chapter 18 9/13 15:02 (Summer, Sunset; Luna; Dungeon) The types of Original Magic that existed in this world were only three: Magecraft, Sorcery and Druidry. This, however, didn¡¯t mean that the relative Skills were only three, ignoring their Attributed version. Instead, through the ages new ways to use Magic were researched and created, one of which was the Skill ¡°Mana Shaping¡± and ¡°Mana Forging¡± made to supplement Sorcery and ¡°Formalcraft¡± to enhance Magecraft. But this were not the only new Skills made to use Magic, what was normally called Pact Magic. Borrowing power from other entities and similar things, like Clerics borrowing power from Gods to Cast a form of Magecraft, Paladins using Oaths to automatically Cast Holy-Attribute Sorcery on themselves, Spiritualists borrowing power from Spirits to Cast Druidry and Warlocks making a deal with various entities to Cast Spells, whether Demonic or just dangerous in most situation. What Luna observed, however, was none of these ways to use Magic. The ¡°Undead Abomination¡± roared, a roar that caused a brief tremor in this empty dimension. This was more similar to a combination of Magic, specifically Druidry, and Skills, similarly to a True Dragon using a Territory Skill. This, however, was still not quite the perfect example as demostrated by what happened a little bit after the roar. The ground under Luna rose in spikes, trying to impale her as she dodged by jumping high in the sky, her wings opened wide, watching carefully both the Monster and the area around her thanks to the Vision-Viper¡¯s many eyes. ¡°I see. I was wrong. This is much more complicated than that. It is not simply a combination of Druidry and Skills.¡± The 5 meters tall Monster before her, shaped like a pyramid of corpses, was constantly moving, with Skulls emerging from it before returning under its flesh casually and all over its body. It roared again with some of its mouth as she launched herself to the ground, the air where she was pierced by pointy bones. She nodded to herself, certain now. ¡°I see. It seems like I was quite na?ve. This is not just a Skill mixed with Druidry. This is also mixed with Pact Magic. More specifically it is an explicit Pact between you and the Dungeon Core itself, isn¡¯t it? I¡¯m impressed. Your maker was, no is, much more ingenious than I ever thought.¡± There was no need for any other word. Ash-Viper opened its mouth, releasing a wave of liquid fire that rained down upon the Boss, only for it to roar causing bones to appear over it, blocking it before sharp bones appeared a couple of meters above Luna, falling on her. She casually stepped forward, dodging them, before moving to the next step. She could not use ¡°Mana Shaping¡± to fight the Undead as its Aura would absorb a lot of Vital Mana from them, with the strenghtening of the [Curse of Fragility] and, especially, of the [Curse of Instability] rendering the situation even more dangerous, especially considering how the Cooldown of the Monster¡¯s [Cursed Amp Roar] will eventualy end. She had terrible compatibility with this Boss when it comes to combat. In other words, her smile grew even wider, this was the perfect opportunity for her to exceed the previous her. She formed a Weapon in both of her hands, two long one-handed blades in her hands as she played with them casually before nodding to herself. She swung twice, once with a combo of Techniques to maximize sharpness while sending a shockwave and the other a combo to maximize speed while sending another shockwave. The two shockwaves fused together. The Abomination was cut in half vertically. She nodded, her Techniques unaffected by the Aura as she suspected. As it repaired itself passively, she noted the speed and her smile fell into what could be called a pout. ¡°¡°Undying Body¡± C-Rank. I see. I will find whoever designed this place and I will rip them to pieces slowly while they are still alive. This will be boring and more than anything a waste of time. At least you will be able to Restore yourself completely only once.¡± She Shaped a True Tower Shield in her left hand before swinging it before her, with another Combo Technique, one to impress the force of the Strike with the Hardness of the object, quite high considering her natural Control and various Skills influencing it, the other to project forward the strike itself. As the wave of force ripped forward she followed closely behind, her two blades again in her hands. The impact of the shockwave was enough to briefly destabilize the ¡°Miasmic Aura¡± around it. Enough for her to attack. Her swords, Blood Forged and Mana Forged with both [Greater Self] and [Release], pierced its body deeply before violently exploding, ripping it apart from the inside. This was only the start as her True Wings released a rain of True Knifes upon its inside, Mana Forged in the same way, Knifes that exploded too, additionally damaging it before Ash-Viper released Fire upon its body, further damaging, before finding herself jumping back as it roared. Bones pierced the place where she was before as she looked at it rapidly healing by using its Vital Energy. She nodded to herself in satisfation, she needed to concentrate on Techniques to open it up for Spells. But this was not enough. Just this would not allow her to grow. Her blades vanished into nothing and in their place, blood started to pool from her shadow, rising quickly before stopping. She nodded to herself. ¡°I must give you and your master my thanks. This next move is inspired by what all of you showed me.¡± She opened her arms wide as if she wanted to embrace this whole dimension before she made her order. Most of the Black Blood fell leaving behind only a 10 meters large Magical Circle made of her blood. The Monster flinched back in a mix between surprise and appriention at it. ¡°I learned this from you. ¡°Formalcraft¡±, the Skill the two Liches used to change the parameters of Magecraft. This is my version.¡± She had finished one of the books on ¡°No-Attribute Magecraft¡± while she was on the ship, but she never planned on using it. After all, even if it was versatile it had terribly low efficiency and efficacy before any other element, in attacks, defences and even in support when alone. This however was not a problem anymore. By using ¡°Formalcraft¡± and the circle of blood, she could surpass this limit. ¡°[Awaken]! [Greater Self]!¡± Her Unique Arma, Sorcerous Armor of the Singolarity, fully manifested and Awakened, while her whole being was brought to beyond her limit. She exchanged complexity for pure destructive power, enough to completely destroy her target even with its Aura while the Blood Circle, made of her own incredibly high quality Black Blood, her Vital Mana and her various Skills boosted the Spell to beyond its limit. Around her Magical Circle, another Manifested itself, this time with a range of 20 meters, before nine additional identical copies were made behind it, linking them together in a single Magical Circle, what she made to use Formalcraft. ¡°[Roaring Destruction]!¡± The Spell was Casted. Sound was overwhelmed by an overwhelming silence. A wave of absolute violence ravaged everything before her, destroying everything within its way. It had no color. It was a wave of nothing destroying everything before her. Silence stretched on as the greater abomination of the two simply laughed in joy while breathing hard, way more than half of her Vital Mana spent in an instant. Red light shone before her as the Abomination reappeared in a flash of Vital Energy, whole and with all of its abilities reset to the start. It roared and she winced slightly as the Curses on her were strenghtened again as its Cooldown was restored by the activation of ¡°Undying Body¡±¡¯s effect gained at C-Rank. A complete Resurrection with a Cooldown of 24 hours. That was the ability gained with C-Rank in ¡°Undying Body¡±. She smiled satisfied before looking at it again. She had no more need for its existence. Her Tail detached from her, fusing temporarily with Ash-Viper. It hissed as multiple Magical Circles made out of her Black Blood made themselves known before its mouth, not to release destruction upon this Fake World, but to amplify the power of the following attack. ¡°This is my compliment to you for this fight. [Magnificent Ray].¡± Attack that consisted of a concentrated beam of fire at incredible temperature which, upon passing the circle, grew to 5 meters in range, reducing the Boss to ash as it exploded in a wave of extreme heat on contact with it. Silence stretched on as her Familiars returned to within her shadow and her True Shapes were reabsorbed by her as two gates appeared before her, one leading to the next floor and one leading to the exit. She had no Vital Mana left, to the point that she was barely able to stand in place, even after reabsorbing her Shapes. However, the battle was over and her prize was before her. Beyond the two Gates, another object manifested itself before her, a crystal that shone slightly in all colors made entirely out of Magicules. She grabbed it satisfied, before shattering it in her hands, absorbing its power quickly and efficiently, gaining Magicules and increasing her potential. This was, however, the reward for beating this Floor Boss for the first time. The second and beyond would have no prize. Said reward consisted of Magicules and an increase in Potential. Potential that allowed her to gain two new Ability Skills and to grow massively. *Luna gained 10.000 Magicules. *Luna gained the Ability Skill ¡°No Attribute Magecraft¡±. *Luna gained the Ability Skill ¡°Formalcraft¡±. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Authority: Vital Mana¡± D-Rank Expands. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Blood Gift¡± D-Rank, Innate Skill ¡°Vampirism¡± C-Rank, ¡°Blood Forging¡± D-Rank and Innate Skill ¡°Black Blood Manipulation¡± D-Rank Fused together into ¡°Authority: Black Blood¡± E-Rank. But the most important gain was one that could not be quantified. Time. She gained 10 days on her temporary lifespan. Thing that was priceless for her as she was. She was, after all, still a fleeting dream so long as she remained at D-Rank. She turned around and left the Dungeon. She was confident in her own capabilities, but confidence is not stupidity. As she was now, continuing would be the high of foolishness. As she entered the Gate to exit, she found herself back at just before the gate of the Dungeon, her Curses dissipating on their own. Before she almost faceplanted on the ground because of sheer exhaustion, dragging herself to a tree to rest against. If she was at full power with no Curses on her right now, with both ¡°No Attribute Magecraft¡± and ¡°Formalcraft¡±, the slight increase in Mana and Vital Energy caused by the condensation of Magicules within ¡°Blood Gift¡± and her Control over Energy, she could use [Roaring Destruction] twice before dropping to the ground, completely unconscious and with the stress of the Spell on her body causing her to lose at least 7 days from her lifespan. Additionally, while the power of this Spell would be more than enough to deeply wound if not kill outright a C-Class enemy and even a B-Class one if it were to hit, thing quite improbable, this Spell simply caused indiscriminate destruction on a too big of a range to be used outside of a Dungeon or with any allies around. It was in all effects a situational Spell that could only be used rarely. But she was very satisfied with it. This was a Spell that the previous her never knew and she acquired two Skills that neither of the previous her ever obtained. She laughed, a sound that would have without a doubt caused terror in any that heard it. She was still quite distant from her previous self that was able to stall for 13 hours a B-Class Vampire, his 9 C-Rank Vampires, his 4 D-Rank Vampires and his Ghouls, but she will reach that level of power. Differently to both Edgar and Azure, however she had no bias when it comes to Scarlet¡¯s ability and she could accurately judge their difference in power. The only advantage the Half-Elf would have on her, beside Ranks and Grades, was the Innate Skill ¡°Spirit Body¡±. A Skill that even now, with a Race that would grow faster and stronger, she missed dearly. Oh well. With time and lots of blood and fighting, she will regain it. But not yet. She closed her eyes, relaxing against her tree as she fell asleep for the first time, not for want, but for need. ?/? ?:? (Luna; ?) Luna woke in a place that she was very familiar with. She smiled as she beholded her Soul. Soul that was quite a bit different from before. At the center were the two her, the her made out of Energy of all colors and the her made of blood, shadows and Moonlight. Or at least they should be there, but the situation was much different. Both of them were clear in their form. The Luna representing her Lunarian nature¡¯s skin was made completely out of Moonlight while the rest of her was made out of Black Blood. The one representing her nature as a Singularity was somehow more and less similar to before, still being a chaotic mess of energy. Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. However, it was wielding her Unique Arma in the Awakened form and Vital Mana was perfectly controlled yet rampaging within the area around her. Her two Authorities fused with the two Lunas within her Growth Skill. She watched them carefully, noting how they were perfect naked copies of her except for their material composition. ¡°I see. Without a doubt, I am the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.¡± She was more than able to observe her own body even through the ¡°Singularity¡± her as she was more than familiar with her own body. She observed the area around her, a slight incolor mist flowing around while a large Magic Circle covered the whole place, constantly changing shape. Various weapons made of Energy and her three Familiars flew around the area. She relaxed, letting the flow of her World lull her as she recovered from her lack of Energy and from exhaustion. 9/14 0:13 (Summer, Sunrise) *Luna Gains 340+800 Magicules. As the first rays of Sunlight illuminated the girl resting against the tree with a serene expression on her face, creating a scene fit for a painting capable to charm any that laid eyes on it, especially with the contrast with the dark cave in the back that was absorbing a small quantity of Miasma from the area around it. Calling Luna beautiful or pretty was an immense error. She simply had no physical flaw, with the only flaw being her twisted personality, to the point that, even when she was the 15 years old Scarlet, people would struggle to view her as a Person. That young woman was seen in such a picturesque scene by a group of three young Adventurers that accepted a Quest to patrol a certain area of the border for any strange movements or behaviors. They froze, not knowing what to do. ¡°Um, excus-¡± the D-Class cleric, a young man with black hair and pale skin, made to speak before being rudely interrupted by the hand of the E-Ranked Swordwoman who forcefully dragged him away. ¡°Shut up! Don¡¯t wake her up!¡± She loudly wispered, trying to not look at the young woman before them; trying and failing as her eyes, almost unwillingly could not bear to not look at her. ¡°Just because you can seduce most women you meet, does not mean that you can lower your guard around someone you don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°I am not seducing anyone!¡± He rebuffed, unaware that he was. ¡°And why should I not wake someone to ask if they are okay? It is my role. Come on, Jay, tell her I am right.¡± ¡°There is waking someone and waking someone. And your role is to not step first into any potential danger without thinking or we are all dead. And Jay will tell you that I am in the right.¡± ¡°Oh? At least I can look away from her without any problem, differently from someone else I know.¡± ¡°What are you talking about, you pervert!¡± ¡°I am the pervert here? Do you even recognize the fact you are undressing her with your eyes, you bisexual in denial!¡± ¡°D-don¡¯t be r-ridiculous you p-pervert. I-I am¡­ I am making sure she is unharmed! Pervert! Lechearous pervert! Corrupted priest!¡± The rain of flustered insults continued for a while, her face red and her voice rising because of embarassed rage. ¡°And I am not in denial! Tell him, Jay!¡± ¡°Yeah, Jay, tell me how this bitch that spents half her time looking at girls in a way that if she was a man would get her smacked hard is not a bisexual in denial!¡± The two looked to the third member of their team, their rogue, finding him completely ignoring the two of them and instead busy drawing the young woman before them. A deadpan expression was now on their face as he continued, without any hesitation. Status Total Magicules 71437 (V) Stored Magicules 525 Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner¡¯s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased resistance to all attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them.

At C-Rank, the owner¡¯s Soul is further in harmony with itself reducing sharply Cooldowns while enhancing their existence Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity C Magicules: 10k/10m.

This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types.

Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. This Skill manifests for the moment as two gloves covering up to most of the owner¡¯s forearm and armor that covers the owner¡¯s feet and most of their foreleg; principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist. At D-Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner. At C-Rank, while it is manifested, it additionally enhances the existance of the owner further and it will be able to awaken by using the command ¡°Awaken!¡±. Awaken State: While in the Awakened State, all incoming damage is sharply reduced while the power of all Energy Uses is sharply increased further. The cooldown is of one hour plus the Activation Duration. While it is Awakened, it constantly absorbs Vital Mana from the User.

Innate: Familiar Summoning C Magicules: 10k/10m (V) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise.

Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. At D-Rank, the Familiars can increase in Rank when it comes to Skills, up to the Rank of this Skill (C-Rank).

In this case, however, the Mana efficiency derived by the owner¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± is such that all Mana Shape are transparent except for their outline.

At C-Rank Mana Shapes can now be freely manipulated depending on Mana Control both in aspect and function.

Familiars: Vision E ¡ú D Third Eye of Physicality E Weapon Mastery D Warden E ¡ú D Imperial Scale D Physical Resistance E Ash E Fire Magecraft D (New) Magecraft Roaring Destruction Magnificent Ray Sorcery Mana Burst Release Mana-Clad Warrior Greater Self Chapter 19 9/14 0:21 (Summer, Sunrise) As the Cleric and the Swordswoman decided to ignore their artistic rogue and restarted to bicker at each other with slowly rising voices. ¡°I was only trying to make sure she was alive!¡± ¡°Oh, yeah, you bi-disaster?¡± ¡°Yeah, look! She is not even breathing!¡± ¡°Yeah, sure, so you can tell me that I am a pervert because I looked at her chest. And even if she is not breathing, she is alive. Her Vital Energy is slowly rising. Thing you would have noticed if you bothered to observe her instead of perving over her body. As you are doing right now.¡± ¡°W-what are you talking about! I-I¡¯m not p-per-¡± ¡°Shut the fuck up you two, I¡¯m drawing and you are so loud I can¡¯t concentrate!¡± Jay finally shut them up. This was only a first draft and so he concentrated particular care on the Half-Elf before them, especially her peaceful expression, and the cave in the background where Miasma was slowly ammassing. The two ceased their quarrel, knowing very well how the oldest of the Party thought about things and his priorities and so they merely sat down, launching each other challenging looks, while Sabel tried to not look at the one before them. A good 30 minutes later, once the draft was finally finished, Jay carefully posed it in his place for new drafts before doing the same with his instruments. ¡°Done. Now we can proceed.¡± ¡°Finally.¡± Hale took a stick and slowly neared the sleeping one. ¡°What do you think you are doing?!¡± ¡°I¡¯m making sure she is okay.¡± Having said that he rose the stick before, carefully and slowly, he went to poke one of her shoulders. As a result, the stick was forcefully grabbed before he could even touch her, being conseguently shattered into splinters that failed to even pierce her eyes to not speak of her skin. The three quickly backed down, their weapons hesitantly raised to try to defend themselves. Efforts that would have been futile considering the differences in power between them. While Jay was not officially D-Class when it comes to the Guild Ranking, that was only because of his problematic behavior of caring only about his paintings. He was very good as a rogue as he was very attent to details so when he relaxed his guard after carefully observing their potential enemy, the other members of his Party slowly following his lead. As she rose to her feet, the Adventurers stepped back while she calmly stretched. ¡°What do you three want?¡± Her indifferent voice echoed in the area, a shiver passing through their bodies at the sound. Sabel stepped forward, the most competent direct fighter of the three and the one who, except for her closeted nature, had the most ability to interact with other people as someone who was born in a noble family even if she was somewhat rusty with the so-called noble speach. ¡°I¡¯m sorry we disturbed you, my lady. We were investigating the area when we found herself upon your body and wondering after your health.¡± ¡°I see. I was merely resting. Now, what would you be seeking in this place?¡± ¡°We recieved a Quest to investigate the area as a disturbance was felt.¡± ¡°Oh? Yet you are quite weak. I doubt you would be able to resolve a situation causing such a disturbance.¡± This could have been interpreted as an insult or a threat however, it was quite true. Even if all of the three of them attacked her at once while she was sleeping while they were fully prepared, she would have simply and casually murdered all of them, after all none of them had any special way to survive being ripped to pieces. ¡°You are correct, we are merely to examine a section of the affected area to see if it is the cause or if there are any other strange occurance.¡± ¡°I see. In that case,¡± what the Party was now thinking a Dhampir rose her left arm, indicating the cave behind her. ¡°That is an anomalous Dungeon. Not only it is at least a D-Rank Dungeon with a minimum of two floors specialized in Undeads and Curses.¡± ¡°Could you please explain more?¡± That request had two motives, one was simply the fact that they needed informations for their Quest. The other reasons, however, was quite a bit more personal. Sabel, the official spokeperson of this Party, simply found the voice of the person they just meet to be the most beautiful sound she ever heard and she wanted to hear more of it. The other two members of the Party were to the side, well aware of the reason she subconsciously thought more important. ¡°Very well, but I suggest you don¡¯t enter it. You are too weak to leave that place alive. All the Undeads on the first floor had ¡°Undying Body¡± at D-Rank and the moment you enter the Dungeon, two Liches will start to chant to Curse you and the Boss has ¡°Undying Body¡± at C-Rank and an ability to amplify Curses.¡± ¡°But that would mean¡­¡± ¡°Yeah. Addictionally I¡¯m quite certain that it was at least in part modified by a Person.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Sabel. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Hale. ¡°How interesting.¡± Jay. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sure. The Liches were teached Formalcraft and the Boss had a Skill based on a Territory and was teached a version of Druidcraft, Skill that an ¡°Undead Abomination¡± would never have.¡± ¡°This is terrible. Would you like to accompany us to the Guild?¡± ¡°Nope. I have no intention to.¡± ¡°I-I see¡­ O-okay, I¡¯m sorry for asking.¡± ¡°Oh? Why so disappointed?¡± ¡°She is disappointed because she finds you attractive and wants to spend more time with you.¡± Hale responded with Sabel not being able to refute it. ¡°Makes sense. I¡¯m, after all, the most beautiful being on the World and she is not the first person I lead outside their closet.¡± ¡°Oh? Does it happen often?¡± ¡°All the time.¡± Unaware that the previous her caused the sexual awakening of her own sister when this last one was 16 years old, further worsening her obsession and lowering her self esteem even further at the fact she found her sister attractive as a prospective partner or the fact that a couple broke up because of her and both of said ex tried to ask her out, unaware of each other. ¡°W-wait, I never said-¡± At Sabel¡¯s protests, their new acquaintance started to walk towards her until she found herself with her back to a tree. ¡°My name is Luna. Remember it well.¡± Her left hand slamming against the tree at the side of Sabel¡¯s head while Luna¡¯s right hand held her chin, rising it until their eyes met, before one of Luna¡¯s finger caressed Sabel¡¯s bottom lip. Sabel became more and more red, her eyes swimming, as her embarassement and other emotions grew and grew while her brain heated up again and again until¡­ Luna¡¯s arms moved, keeping the black haired, 17 years old¡¯s body up as she lost consciousness. She turned around, a smug smile on her face. After all if you are attractive enough you can get away with behaving like this if you want to and she certaintly was attractive enough to. She held her in what would be called a princess carry before moving back towards her tree before sitting down with the fainted swordswoman resting on her lap, her head leaning against Luna¡¯s shoulder. As they waited for the 17 years old to wake up, the other members sit down nearby starting to converse with the other one. ¡°So, where are you going?¡± ¡°I have something of a temporary destination in mind, but not really a definitive one.¡± ¡°You are a Dhampir, right? How does blood taste like?¡± The reason why all of them thought her a Dhampir was simple, all three of them had seen her fangs and red eyes and she was standing calmly under Sunlight. Ancestors were already unknown to Humans that didn¡¯t specialize in Vampires with their origin having so many theories ranging from a blessing or curse of an unknown God of the Moon or Blood, by a scientist that altered themselves or some subjects to make the first Vampires to even some more absurd ones like the theory that the first Vampire was a high-rank Cleric falsely accused of a crime and executed for it only for their corpse to rise again; Additionally the only People that knew anything substantial about Lunarians were Dragons, Phoenixes and some Vampires themselves. Jay¡¯s questions could be considered quite rude, but Luna didn¡¯t particularly care about that. ¡°Something like that. And about the blood¡­ it depends on whose blood is drunk, their strenght and taste, and the likings of the drinker, both flavourfully and sexually. In my case, I have an heavy leaning in favour of women.¡± One of her hands gently touched the waking up Black-Haired girl¡¯s neck, rendering her red in the face again and she started to stutter uncontrollably. Hale and Luna enjoyed her embarassment, one mostly because of a sense of schadenfreude and the other because she simply loved being admired, whetever because of her power or her beauty didn¡¯t matter, she just loved it, her previous lives or no didn¡¯t change it. Sabel jumped away from her, her face completely red as a whine escaped her mouth, while Luna rose to her feet, her Vital Mana restored fully as she stretched before moving back towards the Dungeon. ¡°I will travel the First Floor of this Dungeon again. I need to test something.¡± ¡°Can we-¡± ¡°Why not. I¡¯m strong enough to be able to babysit the three of you.¡± She said confidently. This time she would have to fight quite differently from before as she needed to save as much time as possible. Without any hesitation, she Shaped a True Curved Sword, Mana Forged with both [Greater Self] and [Mana-Clad Warrior] in her right hand and for the first time Summoned Ash within not a Drone, but a Weapon. Her Curved Sword, seemingly made out of black glass and outlined in purple with an hilt long enough for her to use two hands on it if she wanted to, transformed. A purple pattern was etched in the sword, from hilt to the tip of the blade, portraying a savage flame ready to consume everything, before said flames bursted from it, surrounding it in a dense layer of flames passively. She entered the first room, finding herself before 7 Zombies again. She didn¡¯t hesitate. She launched forward, [Mana Burst] released from her feet to accelerate and a Magic Circle formed behind her out of her Black Blood, releasing a shockwave on herself that she modified with ¡°Formalcraft¡± to have minimum power, but maximum knockback, accelerating her even further. ¡°[Knockwave].¡± Before anyone could react, she already crossed the whole room and swung down, bisecting the central Zombie and leaving behind a trail of fire. She didn¡¯t wait anything, her sword changing direction as she cut straight through its right leg, releasing a wave of fire that burned the three on that direction before she continued the swing, spinning in place and cutting in half both the already bisected one and the one at its immediate left. As they burned in pieces, she moved to the final twos Zombie, launching her sword in the air and grabbing their heads with her hands, ignoring their Auras as she destroyed their heads by forcefully clenching her hands, shattering bones before taking back her falling Sword and cutting both of them in half. She finally activated the version of the Skill of Ash she had access to, causing her flames to violently burst and burning the corpses to ashes. She didn¡¯t wait, moving to the next room finding herself before the group of Zombies and Skeleton and releasing a shockwave of flames that bisected all the Undeads. As they fell, she moved in, cutting the falling Undeads into pieces again and again until, their Vital Energy exausted, they all died. In the next room she was even more savage, moving to the Liches instantanously, severing both of their heads, their arms, their legs before cutting them further in half. She calmed down, they would no longer be able to Chant their ¡°Curse-Attribute Magecraft¡± and so her time limit was destroyed with the two of them. But that was no reason to slow down in her destruction. Her sword changed shape, becoming a whip and grabbing on to the other Undeads, pulling them into a single place before, her flames exploding as for the second time she used Ash¡¯s Skill to make all of the Undeads burst into flames, ending all of them before they could even use Vital Energy to heal. ¡°So, next room is the Boss. What do you think until now of this Dungeon?¡± ¡°Well, on one hand we finished this floor in around one minute and everything died immediately, on the other hand if we were in the place of any of them, we would have died in a similar matter, so it¡¯s hard to misure power appropriately.¡± ¡°I suppose so, but the Boss should help you understand at least a little, even if we don¡¯t have any Curses for him to Amplify.¡± Luna fought in a way vastly different from before for two important reasons. Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. The first was that she already understood the threat of this place. The second was very simple yet incredibly important. She was not alone. And while their¡­ leader? May have been fascinated by her, as was natural, that didn¡¯t mean they would not indeer her, directly or not, in the future thanks to the knowledge of how she fought and this way, this possibility would fall in her favor as their information would prove to be another weapon in her favor, if necessary. It¡¯s the reason why she didn¡¯t correct their assumption she was a Dhampir while still giving them her name instead of a false one or why she didn¡¯t drink the Blood of the Undeads. She moved towards the Gate to the Boss Room, guiding all of them to the final fight of this Floor. They may have been too weak to properly fight the Boss, but she was more than strong enough to beat the Boss while protecting the others. As she found herself in a plane of bones, before the ¡°Undead Abomination¡± again she could not help but smile, her eyes showing the playfull sadism of a predator finding an amusing prey to play with. ¡°What is this situation called, I wonder? Ah, yes. D¨¦j¨¤ vu, correct? Now, be entertaining before you die!¡± She swung her blade casually in the air, a trail of hungry flames following it as it roared, some of its hands and heads already Chanting ¡°Curse-Attribute Magecraft¡± as it prepared to fight, rembering well the one before it. Status Total Magicules 71437 (V) Stored Magicules 525 Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity.

The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased resistance to all attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them.

At D-Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner. At C-Rank, while it is manifested, it additionally enhances the existance of the owner further and it will be able to awaken by using the command ¡°Awaken!¡±. Awaken State: While in the Awakened State, all incoming damage is sharply reduced while the power of all Energy Uses is sharply increased further. The cooldown is of one hour plus the Activation Duration. While it is Awakened, it constantly absorbs Vital Mana from the User.

Innate: Familiar Summoning C Magicules: 10k/10m (V) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise.

Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. At D-Rank, the Familiars can increase in Rank when it comes to Skills, up to the Rank of this Skill (C-Rank). At C-Rank, the Familiars can increase in its own Rank, up to 1 Rank lower than this Skill¡¯s (D-Rank). Innate: Authority: Black Blood E Magicules: 1k/1k (IV) This Skill denotes the authority of the owner over the use of Black Blood.

In this case, however, the Mana efficiency derived by the owner¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± is such that all Mana Shape are transparent except for their outline.

This process is 1 hour long every 100 leters of Blood to convert them, with a 10% conversion efficiency, however with the combination of Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±, the time is instantaneous and the efficiency is of 100%, however this process still kills the victim without a doubt. Additionally because of the Innate Skill ¡°Authority: Black Blood¡± the efficiency is further enhanced to 105%. The final gain of Magicules is 100 plus the Magicules absorbed by the victim, all of it increased to 105%. #Soul_Harmony A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank times 5 every day.

Familiars: Vision D Third Eye of Physicality E Weapon Mastery D Warden D Imperial Scale D Physical Resistance E Ash E Fire Magecraft D Magecraft Roaring Destruction Magnificent Ray (New) Knockwave Sorcery Mana Burst Release Mana-Clad Warrior Greater Self Chapter 20 9/14 0:57 (Summer, Day, Dungeon) As the Magic Circle grew she ran in, a trail of fire behind her, while bone spikes rose from beneath her, spikes she casually dodged by jumping over them before landing on one of the said spikes with the point of her left foot, before swinging hard. The wave of flaming air released from the swing slashed the mass of corpses however the fire on it was forcibly extinguished by its Mana. ¡°I see. A natural ¡°Parallel Processing¡± Skill. Makes sense considering how many heads it had. Let¡¯s see if I can¡¯t outpace the amount of thinking you can do.¡± She moved, breaking the bones under her with the force of her jump, her feet meeting the ground for an instance before jumping directly over it, slashing numerous time in the air to release various fire air blade at it before landing and sending a final one, causing various wound in it, whose flames were slowly spreading. It had no time to react as the Skill was activated, causing the hungry flames to burst violently before being negated forcefully while it healed and continuing to Chant and groan. As spikes appeared around her to try and impale her, she simply transformed her sword into a whip again, grabbing all of said spikes before throwing them back at the Undead, impaling it various times before releasing various slashes raining down on it again and again, more specifically they were targetting the hands and mouths Chanting, forcing it to continuosly switch heads least the Curse destabilize. The reason it concentrated its attack on her while ignoring the other People there was simple. It was the only way for it to survive. At the moment, its concentration was split between the minimum required to Chant the Spell and fighting Luna. It could not lower the concentration of the Chanting and the moment it did not thought about her, she would inflict immense damage faster that it could kill any of the three. Not only that, but so long as the three were alive she would not be able to Cast any of the two Spells she used to kill the previous one, without killing them too. So long as they wouldn¡¯t attack or interfere with it, they could be ignored especially considering how it didn¡¯t know their Skills and one of them was a Cleric and so was able, at the minimum, in Clerical Magic of the Holy Attribute that was most effective against Undeads, to heal and to Buff others while it had no idea if any of them knew Magic of any type or had any special Skills. It would be best if it concentrated on the vampiric one until she died and as long as the others would not interfere. This was an error, an error that would prove fatal yet an error that wasn¡¯t its fault, but the fault of its programming and modification. The non-modified one would have been weaker, sure, however¡­ That one would not have hesitate like this one did. Once it had felt no Curse on her, it would not have started a lenghty Chant for a Curse consuming Processing Power for a long term possible gain while fearing possibilities, it would have and should have simply attacked at full force from the very start, raining down blow after blow on all of them, forcing her to spend a significant amount of Energy to protect them, unknowlingly attacking her pride to gain an advantage. After all her twisted personality was her only flaw. Flaw that it could have attacked, but didn¡¯t. This half-hearted misure was simply a waste of time and Energy for it, waste that she was more than happy to capitalize on as she made a large Magic Circle out of her own Black Blood high in the sky above its own, thanks to ¡°Formalcraft¡± to instantly finished it by spending some quantity of Vital Mana and Blood, linking it with the Spell it was Casting, being activated the moment said Spell would be Casted. She pierced the ground with her blade, leaving behind a line of fire as she started to circle the Undead. She stopped suddenly, launching various slashes at it before running in. It moved, launching itself forward trying to rake its claws on her, arms that were quickly cut off by Luna before she punched it directly in one of its skull, Casting a Mana Burst to damage it heavily before jumping over it and slashing various times, causing various wound on it. It forcefully stopped itself dead thanks to its numerous arms before throwing itself to Luna. She didn¡¯t hesitate, impaling it with her blade that was now a scythe before using it to launch herself high in the sky, her weapon now a spear, before she swung all around her to shatter the one meter long bone spikes the Undead launched at her. The Party merely watched as the fight continued, Luna¡¯s bloodthirst evident in her continuos assaults to the point that her weapon was digging in the ground with every exchange between the two. ¡°Well, what do you think?¡± Hale asked his friends. ¡°I would say that they are both at least high D-Class. It is to strong for a First Floor Dungeon Boss.¡± Jay confirmed, as the most experienced of them when it comes to Dungeon and Monsters in general. ¡°I believe Luna is at least somewhat holding back. She is also very Skilled with a lot of different weapons. To not speak about her Magic use.¡± Sabel was the most experienced of them when it comes to People, expected considering her background. ¡°So, the next question is cronological and biological age. I would consider around early twenties for one and late teens for the other?¡± Hale ¡°More or less. Most long lived race age depending mostly on their maturity. However, I would guess in her case on the lower side considering her power.¡± Sabel. ¡°Hoh? Yet she is very strong for that age.¡± Jay. ¡°Yes, but that is the force and grace of talent mixed with effort and she is too weak for that combination to be significantly older. I have seen some Adventurers like that and they grow fast.¡± Sabel. ¡°I suppose so. Especially if she already killed the Boss before. What do you think that is, ¡°Mana Shaping¡±?¡± Hale. ¡°No, I don¡¯t think so. Or at least not ¡°Mana Shaping¡± alone. They changed shapes to fluidly for it.¡± Sabel. ¡°Oh well, do you think they will believe us at the Guild?¡± Hale asked, refering to both the Dungeon and the Dhampir. ¡°They should. All of us are D-Class in power, the reason behind the fact only you are officially D-Class is because of external matters.¡± Sabel. ¡°Right. The fact your father is Guildmaster means you are probably stuck at E-Rank for a while.¡± Jay thoughtlessly infiered the Swordswoman¡¯s pride. ¡°Hale, remember me to punch this idiot once we are safe to teach him to shut up.¡± Sabel. They concentrated back on the fight in time to see Luna impale the Abomination with her weapon, before it bursted into flames. They noted something strange however. Luna was stalling while dealing more damage than it regenerated, bleeding it of Energy. Instantly Sabel watched high in the sky noting the forming purple circle of the Curse and the complete black circle high above it before watching the ground noting how the scars carved from Luna¡¯s weapon had a pattern. ¡°I see. So that is why.¡± The battle continued for a further 30 minutes of attacks from both opponent before Luna nodded to herself upon seeing the Magic Circle almost being completed. She thrusted her True Lance in it before said Lance exploded in various Spikes that pierced every single one of its skulls and hands as its Magic Circle briefly flickered, almost collapsing, before stabilizing because of its Link with her own. She didn¡¯t hesitate, activating her Familiar-Weapon¡¯s Skill to cause the Boss to burst into flames starting from within its body, being reduced to ash. She immediately jumped away to beyond the scars she inflicted in the ground. It roared as it was Resucted in a flash of Vital Energy, being fully Restored, and finally finishing the preparations to Cast its Curse. This was its last and lethal mistake. The Curse it Casted was a simple one with the purpose to Drain the Vital Energy and Mana of the Target to the Caster¡¯s reserves and in this case the Target would be all four of them while ignoring their Resistences. Its Magic Circle released a wave of purple light everywhere. ¡°[Curse-Attribute Modification]!¡± The Magic Circle made out of Black Blood shone on them all, the purple light being absorbed by it to the shock of the Undead before Curse Attribute light rained down on it, the parameters of the Curse changed to instead release a beam and affect everything hit by it with the Curse while doubling in Potency. A massive smile appeared on Luna¡¯s face, violent madness in her eyes before, with a laugh, the second Magic Circle, the one she carved in the ground, started to shining. ¡°[Curse-Attribute Reflection]!¡± The beam launched by her own Magic Circle, landing on the ¡°Undead Abomination¡±, stroke the line of white created by this last Spell, reflected the Spell doubling its Potency again, landing against the Boss once more, Cursing it. As a conseguence of its Casting, not only did it spent a bit of Mana to accelerate the Casting of the Spell, but it was Cursed with ¡°Energy Drain¡± at six times the Potency, all because of a couple of basic ¡°No-Attribute Magecraft¡±. And while they both could recover more than even what a double or triple Potency of the Curse, this was a time bomb on its life as it would continue to weaken in time while Luna would instead recover faster, driving it into a corner. The final effect Luna was not certain of, but thought it probable. It was no longer able to use its [Cursed Amp Roar] as that Spell, Technique, Skill? Would target its own Curse too, as she expected from such a troublesome ability. It roared, bone spikes trying to impale her from all sides before they were shattered by her Ash-Whip, a returning swing branding its body, shattering various skulls and burning him. Every single use of its Vital Energy or Mana would, inevitably bring it closer to death as while having no Vital Energy or Mana will not kill, but will render it incapable of fighting back against its enemy or even healing from any subsequent injury. She had already driven it into a corner and it realized that she fought like that to make sure it would die for the first time shortly before the curse would be finished to maximize the time it would spent Cursed. In other words, its death would now only be a matter of time. So the next step was simple. If it would die either way, considering how it could not leave this room and the Curse would last as long as it would be in the Dungeon, the obvious next step was to kill as many people as it could. Bone spikes appeared around the three Adventurers. Before the three could defend themselves from the spikes, a line of fire shattered them as Luna went all out, using a combination of [Mana Burst] and [Greater Self] to maximize her speed, before she glared at the ¡°Undead Abomination¡±, her weapon starting to vibrate slowly with the blade heating up slowly, an almost feral expression on her face. ¡°I see. It seems like I was too merciful with you in our last fight. It¡¯s a shame you don¡¯t feel any pain or I would make sure to teach you how to behave thoroughly. Oh, well.¡± Her blade was swund, releasing an arc of flame forward while she stood near her new acquaintance to protect them. It didn¡¯t bother defending itself, attacking instead not Luna, but the other three, trying to kill someone before it was killed, its Mana being used aggressively and without any reguard as spikes continuosly rained down on the three of them by all directions only to be slashed apart by quick swings. She quickly grew bored of this. While the combination of her natural recovery and the Curse assured that she was outpacing what she was spending, this wouldn¡¯t mean that she was satisfied to stall until her target was defenceless and defanged. As another wave of spikes was in the air, she made her move. She ran forward, her blade becoming a whip and grabbing all of the bones in the air, dragging them after her and coating them in her Vital Mana before launching them forward to impale the Boss. It didn¡¯t hesitate, roaring again and summoning a wall of bone from the ground in the way of both the spikes and Luna as it recognized it as the distraction it was. Before it could attack the party again to force her back, one of its head saw her. Instead of being stopped or even meaningfully slowed down, she simply used the wall as a ramp and the spikes stuck there as supports to quickly scale it and attacking from above. It recognized its final error too late. With the wall in the way, she could afford to go all out without any prying eyes on her. A second True Blade in hand, it was now housing Vision, becoming sharper and more dangerous with jewels similar to eyes all over while her body was covered by a True Armor, a Shape she based on her [Mana-Clad Warrior], housing Warden, gaining a scaled pattern, claws and a pair of horns, a Barrier fully covering her. She started ripping into it, again and again, faster and faster, her weapons constantly changing shape and ripping into it while its owns were blocked by her Barrier. It could do nothing else, but being ripped apart until it died, its carcass exploding into Miasma. She grabbed the crystal resulting by its death, her Weapons ans Armor ceasing to exist well before the three could see them before throwing it to them and moving towards the exit. She already absorbed the maximum amount of Magicules and potential she could from this Boss and so this crystal had no meaning or importance to her. They followed after her, shattering it and absorbing 1000 Magicules each as four people entered the Boss Room. Once outside, Sabel turned to the other woman. ¡°Do you have a place to stay? Because we know an hotel in the nearby city that gives a discount to Adventurers. We can pay for it, it¡¯s the least we can do considering that you gave us the Boss reward.¡± This novel is published on a different platform.

Familiars: Vision D Third Eye of Physicality E Weapon Mastery D Warden D Imperial Scale D Physical Resistance E Ash E Fire Magecraft D Magecraft Roaring Destruction Magnificent Ray Knockwave (New) Attribute Modification (New) Attribute Reflection Sorcery Mana Burst Release Mana-Clad Warrior Greater Self Chapter 21 9/14 3:57 (Summer, Day) The Party that she now knew as ¡°The Outrejects¡±, an E-Ranked Party because of politics even if all three members were equivalent, more or less, to a D-Class one, guided her back to the city they were based out on while making small talk. ¡°And so, because my father and the Guild Master of this city don¡¯t get along we find ourselves, well in situation like this one.¡± ¡°I see. Wasn¡¯t your father a Guild Master himself?¡± ¡°Yeah, but father is the Guild Master of the Capital and the one in this city was in competition with him for the position, only to lose, quite badly at that. So once I became an Adventurer in his city, well¡­ let¡¯s just say, it was a chance for him to mess with my father, even if only indirectly.¡± ¡°Why did you choose to work for him, then?¡± ¡°It was the only place where my achievement would not be thought of as nepotism. Either directly from my father or indirectly from people wanting to please my father.¡± ¡°I see. Makes sense.¡± At the aknowledgement, Sabel beamed at the ¡°Dhampir¡± walking near her, a composed expression on this second one¡¯s face, while Jay and Hale silently followed behind, an amused expression on the last one¡¯s face. They were fast approching the gate for the walls around their city of residence. ¡°Ehi, Sabel. Who is the gate?¡± Once at the gate, one of the guards asked her, his tone suspicious as his hands neared the trigger to allarm for an emergency. He was very experienced when it comes to discern the threat level of other People and in this case his Skill caused this reaction. Said Skill was called ¡°Threat Evaluation¡±, a Unique Skill he awakened when he was young, and it had two functions. One was the ability to measure the power of a Person or Monster compared to his own based on their Souls, things that only measured precisely up to a certain point. Even if her power was vastly greater than his own, this was not the reason for this hostile reaction. The reason was the second effect of his Unique Skill that measured someone¡¯s willingness to hurt other People, which in her case was too great for him to allow her within the city without at least an explanation. Said willingness was not caused by her reincarnation as a Lunarian, but was a natural aspect of her being, a deep aspect that survived unscathed her time from her birth, as a Ghoul and finally now as a Lunarian. An aspect that caused her to gain the Innate Skill ¡°Spirit Body¡± upon her birth purely for affinity and causing her sister to acquire ¡°Blessing of the Spirits¡± as a consequence and a response of this fact. A nature that was part of the reason behind her Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±. A nature that was way too dangerous for him to ignore. Sabel quickly interfered before anything¡­ untoward was to happen. ¡°She has very important information to share and she is not going to start any fight.¡± ¡°And I suppose the ones starting fights will end up dead, won¡¯t they?¡± The hostile response caused a snort to escape Luna before she attacked back. ¡°Oh, please. You are talking as if I will kill anyone that displeases me. I will just kill anyone who will get in my way without an important enough reason.¡± Her response was even more hostile, however, considering how the one she was responding to was in her way at this point. ¡°Hoh? Are you threatening me?¡± ¡°Do you feel threatened then? In that case you don¡¯t have any reason to get in my way, don¡¯t you?¡± The hostility between the two was quickly reaching its boiling point while two third of the ¡°Outrejects¡± awkwardly observed the situation, trying to decide how and when to intervene in what would soon become an outright fight if they didn¡¯t intervene. Jay intervened, speaking when he finally noticed they were still at the gate, taking his eyes from a notebook he was drawing in, confused by the loss . ¡°Why are we still here? isn''t the news we have urgent or something?¡± This was the perfect opening for Sabel and Hale. ¡°Right, right. I¡¯m sorry, Buld, but we need to enter urgently. Even if Luna is suspicious, it¡¯s too important.¡± ¡°Ah yeah, now that I think about it, how is Cora doing?¡± His tone softened a bit. ¡°He is doing better now. He should be fine.¡± This was the simple way to handle him, first lowering his guard with Jay then distracting him with something important while making sure that he knew she had important informations to share. A necessary measure, all things considered. Luna watched the interaction, a bored expression on her face, before she calmly walked past the Guard nearing the ability of a C-Class Adventurer. He sent her a mean look before nodding to the Party and making a gesture to keep their eyes on her. The Party moved to reach her before guiding her to the Guild, Sabel in the front with Luna starting to speak with this last one. ¡°I¡¯m sorry about Buld, he is-¡± ¡°No need to worry. I know very well the effect a Unique Skill has on the psyche of a person.¡± ¡°You seem to know a lot about them.¡± ¡°Obviously, I studied them deeply considering how I had one since birth.¡± Based on her own feelings and the research of Edgar she learned at the mansion. ¡°However, isn¡¯t it different between someone born with one and someone Awakening one?¡± ¡°That is the common thought, but it is incorrect in the way you think about it. If someone Awakens an Unique Skill because of an Instability, they are twisted by it, sure. However, they are still People that know what being a Person meant when it comes to morals or similar things, being able to understand and being understood by other People when said Instability is not involved. If you are born with an Awakened Unique Skill, you understand no one. You are understood by no one. You innately think differently from every single being alive, even other People with Unique Skills.¡± This all was said calmly as if it reguarded someone else while Sabel watched her, worried for her. ¡°And what about you? You said it yourself that you were born with an Unique Skill, so does that mean¡­?¡± ¡°From what I could study about other People, I have naturally no regard for other lifeforms, I don¡¯t accept anyone''s authority over me, I am incapable to share anything with other lifeforms and I was told that I¡¯m incapable of expressing or feeling emotions in addition of being an egocentric narcisist omnicidal maniac.¡± ¡°Someone called you that?!¡± Sabel exclaimed, offended for her sake. She shrugged, indifferent, before continuing. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I am not offended by the last words of people I have no interest in.¡± Said words were the dying words of her Half-Elf self''s parents in a tentative to hurt her. Tentative that not only didn¡¯t work, but didn¡¯t even buy them any time at all before she indifferently ended their lifes. Sabel continued to guide her to the Guild, an akward expression on her face at the casual confession of murder. Once there, Hale advanced towards the receptionist, a grave expression on his handsome face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb you, but our Party needs to urgently meet with the Guild Master.¡± ¡°Hoh? I suppose that young lady matters reguarding your mission then.¡± This last phrase was not a question, but the young Cleric nodded anyways in confirmation as she then continued. ¡°Very well. However, he is busy at the moment so why don¡¯t you three take her to the recreational room until he is free?¡± She half-asked half-commanded him before he nodded, leading the young ¡°Dhampir¡± there. ¡°I¡¯m surprised that you are so accomodating.¡± Sabel exclamined once there as Luna casually took some of the food offereded in the room. ¡°Oh, don¡¯t worry. I count this as a favor to all of you and the Guild Master of this City. And I expect this favor to be answered in the future.¡± This was not said as a threat, but as a simple fact. A fact that all three of them, Jay comprised, understood that they better answer in a way that satisfies her or there would be conseguence. Around half, if not three quarters, of an hour later, the Guild Master finally finished to being ¡°busy¡±. ¡°So, what exactly did you three wanted to tell me?¡± The Guild Master, a 35 years old Human, told them as he entered before noticing the young lady in the room with them that was busy continuing to slowly savor various pastries on the table before her with a single one of them being shared with Sabel that was half eating it and half just watching her. Said Guild Master, named Heldov, pegged her instantly as a noble lady from both her tastes geared towards sweets and the grace and beauty of every single one of her gestures, grace and beauty that were not being made on purpose but out of pure instinct yet precisely made and following one after another. A wealth of experience and talent in both fighting and manners. He carefully observed her even more, noting her facial traits, her skin tone, her red eyes, her slightly pointed ears and her fangs before reaching his own conclusion about the being before him. While Vampires are treated even now as dangerous beings, being considered even as Monsters by most nations, Midrar comprised, Dhampir are instead considered as People, even if potentially dangerous ones. Additionally while Elves don¡¯t like Half-Elves, which the being before him probably is at least a descendent of considering her ears, they are very popular when it comes to most other races for various reasons, so it wouldn¡¯t be strange for a Vampire to take in an Half-Elf as a lover or whatever they would be from which the Dhampir before him would be born. This would also explain her movements and what she did at the moment of his entry, her eyes briefly scanning him before turning back to eating her sweets. ¡°So, could you tell me who she is and what did you want.¡± The following was more an order than a question, order that roused Sabel for her distraction and Jay from his drawing. Hale, the only one of the three paying attention, could only laugh awkwardly at that before starting to explain the situation. ¡°Luna found an anomalous Dungeon that we think is important to our Mission and that the Guild Master should know about it as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Hoh? How anomalous are we talking about?¡± Luna sighed before taking an empty page from Jay and quickly drawing it while speaking. ¡°Every single Undead there had the Skill ¡°Undying Body¡± at D-Rank except the Boss that had it at C-Rank. The two Liches and the ¡°Undead Abomination¡± that is the Boss had both ¡°Curse-Attribute Magecraft¡± and ¡°Formalcraft¡±, with said Boss additionally having the ability to double the power of all Curses.¡± ¡°I see. This is strange. Are you sure your drawing is accurate?¡± ¡°Yes, the Dungeon is incredibly and surprisingly direct and short. There are no traps nor any indirect method of damage. However the Liches will start to Cast Curses on you the moment you enter not their room, but the Dungeon and said Curses are bound to the Dungeon itself once landed. I would suggest testing it with a Party full of C-Class Adventurers, at least one of which is well-versed in the Holy-Attribute.¡± She took another sweet before continuing. ¡°I am certain that this Dungeon was heavily modified by a Person.¡± ¡°Then why make it so direct?¡± It was a response made out of shock, a question she already thought about and which she already had an answer to. ¡°Because of a question of Balance. It¡¯s probably the reason it can be as hostile as it is.¡± He sat down, resting his head on his hands, as he thought about what to do and Luna enjoyed herself. ¡°The three of you, what do you think?¡± Hale continued to speak as the official spokeperson of their Party when it comes to the Guild Members. ¡°She took us within it and we can confirm that she told the truth about the Dungeon.¡± ¡°I see. Ahh, what am I going to do¡­ Thank you for informing us. I will need to confirm this information before calling Headquarters. What is your name?¡± ¡°Luna. And don¡¯t bother trying to search me in a register, I shouldn¡¯t exist in any of them. I will rest in this city today and leave tommorrow at dawn. Sabel, you will accompany me around this city. Let¡¯s go.¡± There were no more sweets and so the silver-haired one commanded, command that even if with a quick salute, she followed happily at the thought of spending more time with her. Hale could only laught nervously at that. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

The ammount of Magicules gained is equal to 100 plus the total ammount of Magicules the former owner absorbed. This process is 1 hour long every 100 leters of Blood to convert them, with a 10% conversion efficiency, however with the combination of Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±, the time is instantaneous and the efficiency is of 100%, however this process still kills the victim without a doubt. Additionally because of the Innate Skill ¡°Authority: Black Blood¡± the efficiency is further enhanced to 105%. The final gain of Magicules is 100 plus the Magicules absorbed by the victim, all of it increased to 105%. #Soul_Harmony A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank times 5 every day.

Familiars: Vision D Third Eye of Physicality E Weapon Mastery D Warden D Imperial Scale D Physical Resistance E Ash E Fire Magecraft D Magecraft Roaring Destruction Magnificent Ray Knockwave Attribute Modification Attribute Reflection Sorcery Mana Burst Release Mana-Clad Warrior Greater Self Chapter 22 9/14 5:41 (Summer, Day) Sabel showed Luna around the city, both of them ignoring that the Guild Master still had questions for her, leaving the other two behind, in that case almost exclusively Hale, to answer as many questions as they could. Meanwhile the two girls stopped at a sweet shop were the black haired one paid for her sweets for the exploration. Someone may wonder how she was able to eat so much without worries or using Vital Mana in her case, but the reason was extremely simple. The process of eating in her case was considered as a process of Conversion, Conversion that was brough to such efficiency that it simply tranformed all that mass into energy then into Black Blood that was absorbed within her shadow. It was a similar process that rendered the previous her completely tireless thanks to the combination with Skills that Converted Satiety, Health, Stamina and Mana into each other with perfect efficiency thanks to ¡°Singularity¡±. Especially considering how at C-Rank the effect of her Unique Skill changes the floor for Status Resistence to Nullification, negating the conseguence of such even without using ¡°Authority: Black Blood¡± to evade the conseguence of said actions. Sabel moved to follow as Luna simply wandered off once satisfied as she explored the town. Meanwhile in the Guild Master¡¯s office, place where the Guild Master and the rest of the Party were speaking about both the Dungeon in more details and about Luna. ¡°Which gate did the four of you enter from? And who was the guard that let you in?¡± The Guild Master asked the rest of the Party. ¡°The Nord Gate and the guard was Buld.¡± ¡°Buld, eh? In that case¡­¡± He activated a button on his desk, sending a message to his secretary, his desk being a Magical Item given to all Guild Masters from the Guild. ¡°Call Buld as soon as possible, I have some questions for him.¡± ¡°Yes, Guild Master.¡± Once his order was sent, he turned back to them, continuing the questions about the Dungeon as a map of the surrounding area appeared on the floor. Said map was only an approximation of the area based on the Guild Master¡¯s memories and various maps he saw, an essential instrument for the Guild, both in general to have as precise a map of the world as possible and in specific to control that no Guild Master would abuse their power by copying their memories once a month. The two reasons why he could give a mission that was officially higher in difficulty than the ¡°Outrejects¡± were simple. In the first place, while their memories were recorded once a month as part of their position and the Contract they signed to be a Guild Master, this Contract also guarantees these Records are kept private with the only way to access them being for the Guild Grandmaster and at least 7 Guild Masters to decide to access them in response of a grave enough accusation with serious proves or if the Guild Master in question explicitly wants to review or share them. Additionally nothing he did was illegal or particularly frowned upon as he was well aware that all three of the Adventurers were equivalent in ability each to a D-Class one, more than enough to examine a part of the area and then retreat. The map enlarged, most of its precision being immediately around the city and the Guild Hall especially with progressively less precise details. Finally Jay found the place where they found Luna and the Dungeon. Conseguently a marker appeared there, a marker titled ¡°Anomalous Undead Dungeon Ranked D+?¡± that once opened would lead to the temporary map of the first floor he saw, an incredibly important function of the Magical Item to integrate any map the user saw. In this case, the map of the first floor of the Dungeon was linked with the marker. He nodded to himself, a ripple centered upon the Guild Hall manifested upon the map before it stabilized, the now seven Dungeons around the city shone slightly, the higher amount in the nation even if the highest Ranked one was only C-Rank. ¡°She said that this Dungeon is artificial or at least heavily modified by a Person, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°If this is true, we need to analyze every single one of the remaining Dungeons in the area and the area themselves to see if there are any other new Dungeons. And with a Party made entirely out of C-Class Adventurers at least while stopping any entry in known Dungeons for security.¡± He tapped his desk a couple of times with a finger before watching the nearest Dungeon to the city that was originaly a Dungeon City, just a couple of kilometers away. ¡°What are the chances this Luna is the one that modified the Dungeon?¡± The Guild Master asked Jay. ¡°I would say not likely. She doesn¡¯t seem like the type to bother to be this indirect and half-assed if she wanted to harm this city or nation. It could be marginally more likely if she did it to train or to try out a new ability, but I personally doubt it. She would have no particular interest in such an ability and the Monsters didn¡¯t seem to view her as anything in particular.¡± ¡°I see. Then -¡± A knock sounded on the door and after his ¡°Enter¡±, his segretary and Buld entered the room before he turned back to his segretary. ¡°I need you to bring me the list of casualties of the last five years separated by periods. And also the Adventurers dead or missing this year until now.¡± ¡°Yes, Guild Master.¡± He sighed before turning to Buld, someone that wasn¡¯t weird for him to know about considering how he himself tried to recruit him to either work directly for the Guild or at least as an Adventurer because of his Unique Skill and his power being equivalent to a D-Class Adventurer while being a Guard mostly stationed to Gate duty, job that doesn¡¯t see much combat with People or Monsters. His Awakening of the Unique Skill, however, made it so he needs to make sure the city, and especially the orphanage he grew up in, would be safe and so he enlisted as a Guard, job that is not renumerative relatively to his capabilities. ¡°Good day, Buld. I need information about someone that entered the city today, a certain Dhampir named Luna.¡± ¡°Yes, Guild Master. When it comes to overall level of power, she register a little lower than you as a threat.¡± The Guild Master hummed in response. He was after all a former B-Class Adventurer when he was still active and from his measure he was now equivalent to an high C-Class one because of his years of rust and the lack of any threatening Dungeon in the area for him to grow, especially considering how he carefully studied all of the ones previously known, maxing out his rewards from them, but not being able to surpass his wall, differently from that bastard in the Capital. ¡°About her willingness to kill, I would absolutely not allow her within the city if not for the fact that the ¡°Outrejects¡± interfered. I would suggest she leaves this city as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Do you think she is here to harm someone?¡± ¡°No. However, she will kill someone without any hesitation the moment they bother her enough.¡± ¡°I see¡­ Well, that is worrying, but on the other hand I doubt she will stay long in this city and she did give us valuable information if it¡¯s true. I will need to send a message to the Guild Headquarters about this information. You can go, Buld, and if you ever want to be an Adventurer, our door is always open. Until then, continue to do a good job.¡± ¡°Before I go, Guild Master, what information was that important?¡± ¡°I would not normally tell anyone outside the Guild or immediately relevant to the situation, but you can be trusted to keep it to yourself. It seems like either someone created a new Dungeon or a prevously unknown one was modified.¡± ¡°Is that¡­ Is that even possible?¡± ¡°An Unique Skill at a very high Rank is probably not enough on his own. Not without extensive training if this one is not the training in the first place.¡± ¡°Training? You mean that-¡± Hale asked, his eyes wide. ¡°Yes, this is probably a test to see how much they can change in a specific direction. It¡¯s why we need to carefully examine nearby Dungeons for any changes in them.¡± ¡°I see. Thanks for the information.¡± Buld calmy nodded before standing up. ¡°I will need to return to the Gate and my job.¡± Once he understood that this matter would not be a direct threat to the city and, especially, the orphanage he exited under the gazes of the other three. ¡°Well, ignoring that. What do we need to do?¡± ¡°Once she leave the city, I would like to ask you three to continue to search the area. Naturally your Mission is considered already completed and this one is considered a new one. Do not enter any Dungeon and don¡¯t interact with any Person you don¡¯t know, especially if near a Dungeon entrance. We don¡¯t know if the culprit already knows your faces or even cares at all. Consider today a free day to rest and recuperate. All the same, good job.¡± ¡°Yes, Guild Master.¡± Hale saluted before the two of them left the room as his secretary returned from the Archive with the files in question, bringing with her bad news. - 9/14 7:13 (Summer, Day) Meanwhile Luna and Sabel were exploring the city, stopping at a weapon¡¯s shop looking at various armors. Or at least, Sabel was as Luna had no major interest in such. After all, she had her ¡°Unique Arma¡± that would eventually become a full armor to protect her and her [Mana-Clad Warrior] Sorcery, her ¡°High-Speed Regeneration¡± and two different Autorities that helped her to keep herself safe differently while Lunarians in general are made to survive, her need for armor was pratically inexistent especially considering her own Rank and the Rank of the armors. As such she was interested somewhat in the weapons to model her own Shapes after. She however didn¡¯t find any unique weapon type as the bladesmith making this weapons didn¡¯t seem to be particularly revolutionary, or for that matter high in Rank as a Bladesmith. However she nodded to herself before turning to the one at the counter while Sabel was analyzing various armors and weapons and confronting them with her owns and their prizes. ¡°Hey, do you have any guide on Blacksmith, Bladesmith or Crafting in general?¡± ¡°I-I¡¯m not s-sure if-¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I am not competition for this store. I leave this city tomorrow morning. Additionally, I¡¯m not asking you to give them to me free of charge. I will naturally pay for them.¡± ¡°Are y-you sure you want a book on that?¡± ¡°Yes. It would be more useful to me in the long run that anything else.¡± ¡°O-okay. I will ask my Master the price then.¡± Said assistant quickly ran in the back towards the forge, his face crimson because of her while Sabel sent him a brief hostile glance. Luna turned back to the weapons, a satisfied smirk on her face at seeing her reaction. Around 15 minutes later, the assistant came back, three small books in his hands before he went back to the counter, waiting for her. ¡°They cost around 10 Dirrar Silvers Coins each or-¡± Before he could continue, the books in his hands vanished and 20 Dirrar Silvers and 1000 Dirrar Copper, the equivalent of 10 Dirrar Silvers, appeared on the desk while Luna started reading the Crafting one, the most immediately important one in her situation, all the while Sabel watched this with a small smile on her face. This was because of the difference in favor the two of them enjoyed from the ¡°Dhampir¡± in the store. The reason why she was interested in the books was simple, really. The three Skills related to the books would without a doubt help her out in her Shapes. More specifically while her ¡°Mana Shaping¡± Skill is not considered a Crafting Skill, her making a True Shape is because of the definition of Crafting employed by the Sistem requiring a material component before and after construction. This however would be even more important and relevant for her than just affecting her True Shapes and her ¡°Mana Forging¡± Skill as ¡°Crafting¡± would influence a lot more of her Skills than just those if her theory about the limitations and absences of such from said Skill. A theory that she can¡¯t wait to prove correct once she obtains said Skill. Meanwhile ¡°Bladesmithing¡± would help her to make more effective Shapes for weapons and ¡°Blacksmithing¡± would help her with her next project, the combination of [Mana-Clad Warrior] with her True Shapes to make a new Spell capable of holding her Familiars, thing that would vastly increase her options in combat offensively and defensively. Thing that was only a positive for her. She was able to read half the book before Sabel was done, thanks to a combination of ¡°High-Speed Processing¡±, ¡°Parallel Processing¡± and her ability to retain all of her memories derived from being a ¡°Lunarian¡± combined with her experience with ¡°Mana Forging¡±, a Crafting Skill in the first place. Reading would however only help so much, the real prize would be obtained once she would really and actively practice. All the same Sabel couldn¡¯t afford any substantial upgrade to her gears with the money in hand while she certaintly would not ask Luna for a loan and so the two left the shop going back to explore the city. One may wonder how could she read so much in such a short time considering how she was bored out of her mind by the process of making her ¡°Unique Arma¡± or for that matter how she could handle staying hidden for more than a week in a single room on a boat, but the reason was simple. She simply loved the process of becoming stronger indipendently from any other situations and so she could stomach things like reading books or meditations while the indirect method of the creation of her ¡°Unique Arma¡± bored her. Status Total Magicules 71437 (V) This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. Stored Magicules 525 Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner¡¯s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased resistance to all attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill.

(V) A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any elemental magic of any type. However magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any element will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and Energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally limits on magical affinities, Energy Control and Conversion Efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at E-Rank will be that the increases in an elemental affinity will, instead, increases non-elemental affinity. At D-Rank, all sustain costs are negated and the stability of any construct made of Energy is brought to the maximum. Growth: Soul Harmony C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) This Skill denotes that the owner¡¯s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner¡¯s energy in general and both their growth speed and their potential. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules equal to the total Rank of all their other Skills times 5. At D-Rank the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana well are further increased. At C-Rank, the owner¡¯s Soul is further in harmony with itself reducing sharply Cooldowns while enhancing their existence Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) A person is considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether it is active or not. This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types. This armament is able to strenghten both its owner¡¯s existence and their Spell, Technique and Crafting by increasing the ammount of Energy in them without actually using any automatically. Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. This Skill manifests for the moment as two gloves covering up to most of the owner¡¯s forearm and armor that covers the owner¡¯s feet and most of their foreleg; principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist. At D-Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner. At C-Rank, while it is manifested, it additionally enhances the existance of the owner further and it will be able to awaken by using the command ¡°Awaken!¡±. Awaken State: While in the Awakened State, all incoming damage is sharply reduced while the power of all Energy Uses is sharply increased further. The cooldown is of one hour plus the Activation Duration. While it is Awakened, it constantly absorbs Vital Mana from the User. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules depending on this and the corresponding¡¯s Unique Skill Ranks. Innate: Regeneration C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) This Skill denotes that the owner is able to passively and automatically generate and heal themselves using Vital Energy. In this case, however, this Skill function as an enhancement towards the healing caused by the nature of the owner as a Lunarian. At D-Rank this Skill also further increases the well of Vital Energy and Mana of the owner. At C-Rank, the owner is more resilient to alteration of status and heals even faster.

It allows the owner to feel Vital Energy, Mana and Vital Mana around them in a range equal to the sum of the Grade of this Skill and the Total Grade multiplied depending on Rank [(5+5)*3m = 30m]. At D-Rank, the potency of Vital Mana is increased further. Innate: Familiar Summoning C Magicules: 10k/10m (V) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise. In this case, the number of Maximum Familiar is negated because of the owner being a Lunarian, so long as all Familiars are made by the Lunarian Skill, even if they still require Vital Energy and Mana to be Summoned. Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. At D-Rank, the Familiars can increase in Rank when it comes to Skills, up to the Rank of this Skill (C-Rank). At C-Rank, the Familiars can increase in its own Rank, up to 1 Rank lower than this Skill¡¯s (D-Rank). Innate: Authority: Black Blood E Magicules: 1k/1k (IV) This Skill denotes the authority of the owner over the use of Black Blood. It automatically fuses the Blood and Shadow of the user, rising the quality further and vastly strenghtening the owner¡¯s existence and their Energy when it comes to all aspects. Said Black Blood can transfer all kind of Energies from and to the owner or be turned into Energy, with the additional ability to boost an object or a Spell to beyond its limits by mixing in Black Blood. It also allows the owner to absorb the blood of others into themselves to convert it into Energy or, if the process is fatal or done on a corpse freshly killed, Magicules. This Skill can also store objects and non-living beings within the owner¡¯s Black Blood. It allows the owner to feel Blood, Shadow and Black Blood around them in a range equal to the sum of the Grade of this Skill and the Total Grade multiplied depending on Rank [(4+5)*1m = 9m].

At D-Rank this Skill increases the ease with which the owner can manipolate Mana. At C-Rank this Skill increases the Non-elemental Affinity of the owner. Ability: Mana Shaping C This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to shape Mana outside their body throught willpower alone. This Skill enhance additionally the Power of the owner¡¯s Shapes and the control of their Mana.

In this case, however, the Mana efficiency derived by the owner¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± is such that all Mana Shape are transparent except for their outline.

At C-Rank Mana Shapes can now be freely manipulated depending on Mana Control both in aspect and function.

The black-haired Human turned to her companion. ¡°So do you want to visit an Enchanter?¡± This was after all a Dungeon City and so, while the smith of this place wasn¡¯t able to make a Magical Item, no, because the best Bladesmith and Blacksmith of this city at once had no talent when it comes to Magic at all, there were numerous Enchanters in this city, specialized in various ways to turn weapons and armors into magical ones. Thing that while potentially interesting, she didn¡¯t particularly care about observing enhancements right now as it would only distract her and spreading her attention too thin right now. ¡°No. I have nothing to enchant, I would not allow anyone that I don¡¯t know and am not interested in to enchant anything of mine and studying enchanting would only distract me right now even if they fully adapted to the change in rules, thing very likely after all this time.¡± ¡°Yeah, I suppose that the reason most of the enchanters around here closed down for around a month after the change in rules. None of my team had any problem adapting, not even Hale with his Magic, but I know for a fact that other Parties did. What about you?¡± ¡°I had no problems with it. Magi, the individuals that directly use Magecraft, are those that would have the most things to change and adapt, especially enchanters based on that.¡± An additional point about this was the specific rules everyone operated under now, Rules she was quite familiar with as they were the very same ones of around 63000 years ago, the time Lunarians invaded this World whose memories she could access subconsciously from pratically the start of her Rebirth, further acceleration her adaptation to the new Rules. Sabel continued to guide her, passing by the church in the city square with neither of them reacting to it. While most Humans and around half of those considered People did worship Gods in general, some more actively than others, Sabel instinctively understood that the other had no interest about said worship or places for such activity, thing quite common between Vampires or other very long lived sapient races. After all Gods¡¯ purpose was only to support their weak followers, protection that she had no need nor desire for. They passed through various stall, buying a couple of sweets, before finding themselves at the door to a particular shop? Well, shop was correct enough considering how in this place someone was paying for a service, within a deserted road. In this case said service was a conversation with an Elf medium to commune with the souls of deceased Persons. Thing that upon hearing made Luna smile mockingly to herself, well aware that in this World this was only a way to commune with Records of the deceased and not the deceased themselves, as they would be long reincarnated as her innate knowledge and understanding of a Lunarian told her. Upon seeing her interest, Sabel moved, opening the door for and letting Luna enter within the shop before her. ¡°Thank you. Now, how do you think this place works?¡± A smile formed on Sabel¡¯s face at the thanks before a frown formed on her face. ¡°I dont know. I have no idea how being a medium would behave as an occupation. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Luna calmly replied as she entered the place, the door being open and the two found themselves in a completely dark room, the only lights being the opened door behind them and the slightly ajar one before them from which a soft purple light flowed from, the walls and floor around them being completely black. Luna calmly proceded with Sabel following closely to her right, ready for any incoming attack. As she opened the door that separated them from her passing curiosity, purple light almost blinding them. Various candles with purple flames flickering on top illuminating the dark purple walls of the room they found themselves in, various curtains softly flowing because of an absent wind. Luna calmly turned to the one waiting for them, what looked like a slender Elf in her early to mid twenties, long flowing gray hair covering a light blue, tending towards lavender, dress, very pale skin and purple eyes shining and flickering slightly. Around her a visible Aura of Curses was similarly flowing around her, various limbs briefly forming before collapsing back into her Aura, a short spear in her left hand pointed to Luna as Runes flared within the room as purple shades rose from around them. The Lunarian stood there, curiously observing the shades, runes and the Elf before them as the Shades finally fully manifested, twenty copies of the woman before them made out of purple smoke, each one of them wielding an exact copy of the spear and her clothes. ¡°How curious. These are not made out of Mana, Vital Energy or Vital Mana. Additionally while I do believe you are using a Familiar-type Skill, I would guess these copies are more similar to automatic Drones than proper Familiars. Additionally... ¡± She passed her hand through one of them, finding no resistance as if it was an illusion. ¡°What do you want, you soul-eating abomination!¡± At this exclamation the two visitors had very different reactions. ¡°Wow, rude.¡± Sabel. ¡°I see, you are able to see souls then.¡± Luna was able to understand how this Shades worked now. ¡°They are pieces of your Soul, separated from the whole and possessing this shells.¡± ¡°Taking pieces from her own Soul¡­ Isn¡¯t that dangerous?¡± ¡°It could have been depending on how she did it, but to explain¡­¡± Luna in response simply took an hair and cut a piece off before showing it to her. ¡°This is the equivalent of the process.¡± She took a second, third and fourth before knotting them together while her hairs grew back and she took another part and joining them together with the previous ones. ¡°This is a rappresentation of the way she uses her soul to make her Drones. But I have a question for you¡± She turned back to the Elf which stepped back from her hungry gaze. In response to said step, the Clones thrusted their spears at her, trying to impale her to the wall behind her. She stood still until the instant she felt the first spear pierce her skin, causing her Black Blood to grab said spear and impale the Drone in response. Said attack however passed straight through the Drone like the spear within her. She noted as the Drone became physical the moment both Vital Energy and Mana flowed within it and it ceased to be physical when they didn¡¯t anymore. Not only that, but the unstable mix of Vital Energy and Mana the Drone inserted into her was trying to Curse her. ¡°I see.¡± The Drones hesitated around her as her Black Blood formed a sharp circle around the neck of all the Drones, ready to decapicate them the moment said Curses became material. ¡°I would say that it¡¯s quite rude of an Elf, even if a beautifull one like you, to trying to impale me before even dinner, but after all you are not a real one, aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Wha- Are you sure? But the Wards should have-¡± ¡°They would have reacted if she was a Monster taking the shape of an Elf, but this is not the case, isn¡¯t it? She is instead a much more complicated situation, right, Former Second Floor Boss of the newly discovered Undead Dungeon?¡± A flinch was made from both Human and ¡°Elf¡± at the words of the false Dhampir, one because of pure surprise and the other a flash of fear. ¡°How could she be the Boss?!¡± ¡°How do- What do you mean?¡± The medium stepped back another couple of times, her Shades slowly moved before her even with their new collars. ¡°Let¡¯s start from the beginning, shall we? First of all, the Runes and the Shades are both Curse Attribute and while an Elf specialized in that is quite rare considering how Spirits exist only in the five elemental Attributes, it is not impossible to reach this level of ability. Your ability to see and manipulate Souls however is quite outside the bonds of what you should be able to.¡± Luna stepped forward again causing the former Boss to step back again, her concern now firmly becoming fear at the soul-eater in the room with her. ¡°Additionally you don¡¯t have any relations with True Dragons to inherit their ¡°Soul Sight¡± and the only other beings with it are Undeads. Finally you already have a Unique Skill unrelated to Souls, don¡¯t you? The ability to turn malice and negative emotions into a form of immaterial Curse Attribute Energy different from Mana, Vital Energy or a combination of the two.¡± ¡°How can she be here then? If she is a Dungeon Boss, she should be unable to leave her room let alone the Dungeon itself.¡± ¡°Exactly. That is the reason I said she was the former one. And the reason why she is not anymore is quite simple. We are not the first to complete the first Floor of that Dungeon. The one before us reached the second floor¡¯s Boss, a Ghost of some kind, that possessed and fused together with her body giving birth to the being before us, a new Person with her own Unique Skill Awakened with the Evolution of her Racial Skill to a new one.¡± As her Shades prepared to attack, this time together, she stuck first, stakes of Black Blood piercing them all through the heart and holding them in place, this time physically touching them despite their own and the ¡°Elf¡±¡¯s effort. ¡°How could you-?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very simple really. They are only physical if fueled by a combination of Vital Energy and Mana so I forcefully filled them with Vital Mana until they are physical, even if this cost quite a bit. And now¡­¡± As Sabel watched curiously, Luna¡¯s Black Blood started forcefully pumping within all the Shades, faster and faster and in a pattern similar to a beating heart, until the ¡°Dhampir¡± opened her mouth wide before stabbing her fangs into the river of blood piercing the Curses, sucking in her own Black Blood and the fragments of Soul within them, forming 20 spheres of condensed Curse within her mouth. She moved her tongue, crushing the sixteen of them into a single mass of Black Blood, Curses and Soul Energy, fusing them and repurposing it into a new purpouse. While she could use said mass to create a new Familiar, she had another purpouse, the creation of a thing the previous her never succeded in creating, a Growth Skill of her own. A Skill she could now create because of her knowledge and ability to manipulate Souls, her ability to devour others for power and the adaptability she retained from the Human half of Scarlet and most importantly as a base her own Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±. An ability that she was finally able to enjoy, the ability to convert the Magicules she could have absorbed from her prey and the potential Familiar she could have created from their Soul into an expansion on her own Skills and an increase of her own Potential. *Luna Gained the Growth Skill ¡°Devouring Evolution¡±. The other four, skillfully and carefully kept in her mouth, were quickly swallowed to function as fuel for her new Skill. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Authority: Vital Mana¡± absorbs the Ability Skill ¡°Mana Shaping¡± and Ability Skill ¡°Mana Forging¡±. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Authority: Vital Mana¡± Expands because of the Growth Skill ¡°Devouring Evolution¡±. Luna smiled at the flavor, equivalent to around 4/5 of a soul, before concentrating on the change of her Skill as it was time to test it out. Her Vital Mana flowed outside her body before condensing in five clumps around her, forming into perfect copies of herself made out of purple energy, each one of them standing there waiting for orders. She carefully examinated them, one at a time, before reabsorbing them and recreating them, in different time order and quantities, a satisfied expression on her face. Her ability to shape Mana or enchant Items was maintained and enhanced slightly as was her Vital Mana. She stretched before nodding to the former Boss Monster and sitting down on a chair made out of her Vital Mana. ¡°I¡¯m in an excellent mood right now, so this is your chance. Explain yourself and maybe you can convince us to spare you. I¡¯m well aware that the former Boss you should have been around high C-Class while the Elf you should be low C-Class at worst, but the process of Rebirth should have lowered you back to E-Rank and at the moment you are around mid D-Class. Com¡¯on, you have our curiosity for now.¡± The older-looking one grimanced, well aware that as she was right now her chances to kill the soul-eater before her were quite slim and she needed time for her Runes to channel Vital Energy and Mana to fuel her Unique Skill if she were to fight back. ¡°Fine. My name is Mafel.¡± Status Total Magicules 71437 (V) Stored Magicules 425 Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k.

Familiars: Vision D Third Eye of Physicality E Weapon Mastery D Warden D Imperial Scale D Physical Resistance E Ash E Fire Magecraft D Magecraft Roaring Destruction Magnificent Ray Knockwave Attribute Modification Attribute Reflection Sorcery Mana Burst Release Mana-Clad Warrior Greater Self Chapter 24 7/13 17:23 (Summer, Night; Second Floor Boss Room of the previously unknown Undead Dungeon) The second Floor was quite different than the first right from the start. The only physical beings in it were rares ¡°Undead Abominations¡± of D-Rank, lesser versions of the First Floor Boss, with a lower Rank of ¡°Undying Body¡±, without any Magic Skill or the enhancement derived from its status as a Boss. All other Monsters within it were incorporeal Undeads like Ghosts, Ghasts and Banshees in hidden rooms while the floor was also full of traps, from crossbows in the wall, false floors leading to spikes and false walls leading to hidden rooms. And so the party of five that was able to beat the First Boss without too much trouble reached the Second Boss Room as only a Party of three because of the Enhanced Curses on two of them with the other three being wounded to various extent. After all, the only way to leave a Dungeon is if you beat a Floor Boss and leave through the door then. Additionally you can not travel through floors once you pass the door to the next floor you must beat the Boss to leave the Dungeon again. And so the second Floor Boss, a Specter, found itself fighting only three enemies, none of them at 100% and only one of which was at C-Rank, an Elf paladin. The battle was long and arduous considering how the Boss, a Specter, had ¡°Undying Body¡± at C-Rank and ¡°Holy Resistance¡± at D-Rank with a natural Immunity to Physical Damage derived by the fact it was incorporeal however the battle was approaching its end. Only two Beings were left, the Elf and the Boss, both of them at the brink. The still nameless Elf walked up to the fallen Undead, her sword clad in Holy Attribute and preparing to finally end the Boss¡¯ life before it did something it was never programmed to of its own initiative to save its own ¡°life¡±. As her blade was falling to end the Monster, it reacted grabbing one of her ankles before pushing its Essence within its soon to be killer. A scream escaped the Elf as her being was being invaded. She would lose. She had no chance to properly resist this encroachment in her state so she didn¡¯t even try. Instead she made her choice. ¡°I Vow: I will not resist this Encroachment and I will give my body, mind and Soul to be absorbed.¡± Her Vital Energy and Mana spiked sharply as this was what could be considered a Death Oath. ¡°In exchange this process will become a Fusion, giving birth to a new Person.¡± The Oath was actualized and a new Person was born. Said Person opened its, their, her eyes before reaching for the crystal manifested nearby, crystal she calmly shattered absorbing the full prize for the C-Class Boss, a large quantity of Potential and 100.000 Magicules, more than she could properly integrate considering how she was at E-Rank before moving to the exit. She briefly examined her Status, noting her new race of ¡°Spectral Elf¡±, her new Innate Skill ¡°Holy Curse¡± and a new Unique Skill, not the Elf¡¯s but her own, ¡°Malice Generator¡±, the ability to automatically generate a form of immaterial Energy based on Malice. She still needed to find out how to use said Energy for now but the smartest move right now would be¡­ ¡°I Vow: ¡± Her Mana and Vital Energy rising with her words in a specific pattern. ¡°I will never use any of my Affinities, except to the Holy- and Curse-Attribute, in a fight to the death.¡± At her words, a golden and purple Aura manifested around her, an automatic Sorcery with the price being adhesion to said Vow. She sighed, moving slightly around to adapt to her level of power as her Innate Skill made it so that her ¡°Oath Magic¡± triggered both a Holy- and Curse-Attribute, ignoring how only one of them should have been Casted or the loss in potency that should have occurred. She smiled satisfied to the message from the World that told her she acquired both ¡°Holy-Attribute Oath¡± and ¡°Curse-Attribute Oath¡±, with other various Skills following right after. There is more than one reason for her immense Potential that allowed her to grow so fast while Luna didn¡¯t. The first was the fact the for now nameless one was a fusion of two individuals, their Potentials included, one of which made an Oath to share her everything, and the immense Potential she gained from the reward for killing the Second Floor Boss. She left, moving towards the Gate leading to outside the Dungeon, enjoying the light from the Moon as she went to the nearest town she remembered from the Elf¡¯s memories while figuring out her new name as she was quite different from her Elf half. ¡°Mafel, it is.¡± She moved on, a calm expression on her face. --- 9/14 9:12 (Summer, Day) Upon the end of the story, the two concentrated intensely. ¡°Oh, wow. How interesting.¡± For ¡°two¡± Sabel and Mafel were the two that concentrated as demostrated by these careless words from Luna. Said Lunarian was currently playing around with her Vital Mana and Black Blood while floating upside down. A deadpan expression formed on both the other People there as they observed her. ¡°There is no need to look at me like that, I understood the story and I am certain you are not lying. Not only that but the Runes still need sometime until they would accumulate enough Energy for you to fight at full efficiency, dear Mafel. So let¡¯s play a game. We ask you a question, you answer it and then you can make us one that we will answer. Or instead of answering you can offer me your blood, if you prefer that.¡± This last part was said with a smile, a smile full of malevolence while not having any actual malice, a smile that was somehow more threatening than if actual malice was present. ¡°Fine.¡± Mafel nodded, a grimace on her face as she understood that she was dancing on the palm of the other¡¯s hand, but as she exclaimed she needed more time. Meanwhile Sabel was simply using this time to learn as much as she could about the situation and the two People with her. Even if she found Luna attractive, that wouldn¡¯t mean she would be okay with someone that would be a threat to the city and so it was only natural for her to try studying the two of them. ¡°Now, who altered the Dungeon you were born in and when?¡± ¡°I have no idea who they are, measuring time is impossible in a Dungeon and I have no memory from before the change. Now it¡¯s my turn. What are you really?¡± ¡°Oh? Curious about me, are you? Makes sense. Now how should I answer you, in a mean way, in a criptict way or an informative one? Well, let¡¯s be gentle for now. The name of my Race is Lunarian, you can consider me as a superior variant of a Vampire. Now, our question can be made by Sabel.¡± The intention of this offer was to also study said Human in addition to the other anomaly in the room. ¡°What are your intentions for this city?¡± Sabel. ¡°None in particular. I¡¯m only here until I conquer the First Floor of all nearby Dungeons and reach C-Rank. Now my question. Why and how can you eat Souls, Luna?¡± Mafel. ¡°By sucking blood I can take in Souls to make or enhance Familiars. My turn now. Mafel, once you leave this place where will you go?¡± Luna. ¡°My target is Yggrar, the ancestral home of the Elves that houses the oldest Driad alive, Rediliv.¡± Malef. ¡°Ah, yes. It makes sense for you to search the oldest Person alive, the one able to survive for 31 Blood Moons and protect those seeking refuge for the last 13 of them.¡± Luna smiled confidently while casually dropping an information about the former Tree they themselves don¡¯t know about, their age, as they were not aware for the first 8 Blood Moons they, it at the time, lived through. After all, the Moon somewhat gave up to the idea of killing them for right now and decided to wait until more continents fall to Monsters, as was the case for the continent now called Mosrar did, before simply assaulting them with too many Monsters of too high a Class for them to resist. ¡°I see.¡± This is a bait, she though; she wants me to waste my question on it impulsively; she just wants me to refuse to answer one of her question so that she may drink my blood; I must not ask; concentrate; don¡¯t ask. She made an error, she looked at Luna¡¯s smiling face and her decisive eyes. ¡°How do you know that?¡± She wasn¡¯t able to resist asking before grimacing as she found the answer on her own. After all the one before her was too weak to be of similar age to the Driad, Driad that she herself confirmed being the oldest Being on Gaea and the only source for their age would be a God or¡­ she looked to the sky, the Moon considering the name of her Race. ¡°Your thinking is correct. I access reconds from the Moon. Sabel, your question.¡± ¡°Sure...Hm, are you really a medium?¡± ¡°Yes. I am a fully realized one thanks to my affinity with Incorporeal Undeads and Souls in general. Now for my question, what do you two plan to do with me?¡± ¡°This is a question requiring for both of us to answer and so expect two questions in return.¡± Luna. ¡°You-¡± Mafel. ¡°It seems only fair to me. In my case, I have no particular plan for you but the question is what should I do with this information and how should I present informations about the Dungeon to the Guild.¡± Sabel. ¡°A medium is the one that told you the informations, wasn¡¯t she?¡± Luna. ¡°I suppose that could work, yes.¡± Sabel. Mafel frowned both at being ignored and the fact her answers would be shared but at the moment she was at their, more specifically Luna¡¯s, mercy until all of her stored Vital Energy, Mana and Malice was prepared and available to use actively. ¡°In my case, I¡¯m probably going to try to work out if I want to actively pursue you and Sabel. All the same you don¡¯t need to worry about me killing you even if I decide not to seduce you.¡± Luna smiled, confidence oozing from her as Sabel¡¯s face reddened and even Mafel flushed in a mix of embarrassment and anger. ¡°You-!¡± Mafel. ¡°Your question, Sabel?¡± Luna. ¡°Yes, right!¡± Said black-haired Human jumped before asking. ¡°This is my last question because I¡¯m too distracted to think properly for now. How many Floors does the Dungeon you were from have?¡± A grimace on Mafel¡¯s face because there will now only be tricky questions from Luna, she answered after calming down. ¡°I believe the Floors are a minimum of four and a maximum of six.¡± Mafel. ¡°I see.¡± Sabel. ¡°Well now it is my turn to question. Why do you bother using Vital Energy and Mana instead of Vital Mana for your Runes?¡± Mafel clicked her tongue at what she perceived to be mockery. ¡°Because I don¡¯t know how to use it. Why should I make Vital Mana in the first place?¡± This question of Mafel was curious to Sabel too, curiosity that Luna was more than happy to satisfy. ¡°Good question.¡± A smile on her face, Luna answered. ¡°The first reason is because Vital Mana cannot be sensed to methods that sense Vital Energy or Mana and is harder to sense in general. Vital Mana can also easily be used as either Vital Energy or Mana but the most important reason is quite simple. Power.¡± Luna¡¯s smile widened greatly before she continued. ¡°The four major characteristics of Energies in general are the Quantity, the Recovery, the Control and the Quality. Now, let¡¯s take a Person with 100 Vital Energy and Mana, and a theorical value of 2 in Control and Quality with a Recovery of 1 in both every second. ¡°Let¡¯s also take a Spell that they are planning on Casting with a minimum base Cost of 20 and a maximum base Cost of 40 that would inflict the exact amount of Damage as the Mana Cost. ¡°They Cast said Spell at the maximum amount of Mana they can, thanks to their Control of 2 both the minimum and the maximum Cost are halved one and doubled the other to a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 80. ¡°The Spell is Cast with a Damage equal to 160 because of the Quality of 2 and after 80 seconds all the spent Energy is regained. ¡°Now let¡¯s use Vital Mana. At E-Rank, the Efficiency of the creation is 10%. The same individual Casts using Vital Mana. ¡°First thing first, 100 Vital Energy and 100 Mana make 20 Vital Mana at E-Rank. The minimum and maximum of the Spell are respectively 5 and 160 because they are affected by the Control of both Vital Energy and Mana, even if for now it doesn¡¯t matter. ¡°The Spell is Casted with 20 Vital Mana, the Quality of both influencing it to a value of Damage equal to 80 with a complete Recovery of 100 seconds. ¡°Before you comment about it, it is very inefficient and ineffective at E-Rank but if you bring it just to C-Rank, ignoring any other benefits of the Skill the situation changes greatly. ¡°The user has a total of 100 Vital Mana that would be used fully to Cast the Spell for a Damage equivalent to 400, more than double the initial Spell, all that would be recovered in 100 seconds. ¡°To match the Damage of the one using only Mana, 40 is enough and would be recovered fully in just 40 seconds. ¡°At A-Rank, the efficiency would be at 100%, allowing 200 Vital Mana, more than enough to fuel the maximum of 160 Energy to Cast the Spell with Vital Mana left over while dealing the equivalent to 640 Damage and recovered it all in 80 seconds thanks to their efficiency. ¡°Finally while the Quantity and the Recovery are additive, Quality and Control are multiplicative between the ones of Vital Energy and Mana.¡± ¡°You are...quite proud of this Vital Mana¡­¡± Mafel commented slowly. Sabel meanwhile was trying hard to remember all of her words. ¡°It¡¯s only natural after all the use of Vital Mana is incredibly important to the way I fight and I live. However your Runes are ready and so here it comes, the real question. How do you want to proceed now?¡± Luna¡¯s answer and following question was made casually, casually enough that Sabel took a second more to jump on her feet in guard. ¡°It¡¯s very simple, really. I will kill you!¡± The answer was certain and full of determination as the Runes around her glowed a mix of Purple and Gold, said lights converging on a point high above Luna before she continued. ¡°I Vow: With this Spell I will attack only the Being known as Luna. I Vow: Once this Spell ends, I will not use any of my Skills¡¯ active effects for 24 hours.¡± As she completed Vow after Vow, her Mana, stored and not, started resonating and increasing in Quality over and over again. Sabel made to attack her but- ¡°Wha- More of you!¡± She exclaimed as five Shades appeared before around her, preventing her from interfering. Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. Luna stood up, her eyes shining in delight, as Black Blood and Vital Mana exploded from her planning on winning. Having seen that, Mafel made an additional Oath, this time completely silent, as a nebula of purple and gold formed high in the room around the point, it itself changing to a space similar to the Room of a Dungeon Boss, isolating them from the outside. It fell, a light made out of a combination of Curse-Attribute, Holy-Attribute and No-Attribute Magic. It fell and Luna tackled it head on, laughing escaping her, as purple and gold light met the black and red tipical of Black Blood and the purple of Vital Mana.

This is nothing, but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient to convert, transfer and amplify Energy in general, whether it is Mana, Vital Energy or other types. This armament is able to strenghten both its owner¡¯s existence and their Spell, Technique and Crafting by increasing the ammount of Energy in them without actually using any automatically. Additionally, this Skill increases the quantity and the recovery speed of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank.

At D-Rank, once it is manifested, the owners resistance to damage is increased and so is the quality of all Energy of the owner. At C-Rank, while it is manifested, it additionally enhances the existance of the owner further and it will be able to awaken by using the command ¡°Awaken!¡±.

Innate: Familiar Summoning C Magicules: 10k/10m (V) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise. In this case, the number of Maximum Familiar is negated because of the owner being a Lunarian, so long as all Familiars are made by the Lunarian Skill, even if they still require Vital Energy and Mana to be Summoned. Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. At D-Rank, the Familiars can increase in Rank when it comes to Skills, up to the Rank of this Skill [C-Rank].

Familiars: Vision D Third Eye of Physicality E Weapon Mastery D Warden D Imperial Scale D Physical Resistance E Ash E Fire Magecraft D Magecraft Roaring Destruction Magnificent Ray Knockwave Attribute Modification Attribute Reflection Sorcery Mana Burst Release Mana-Clad Warrior Greater Self Chapter 25 9/14 9:43 (Summer, Day) Purple and gold fought for supremacy as they fall upon a flowing mass of black, red and a purple outline surrounding Luna. ¡°[Awaken]! [Greater Self]! [Mana-Clad Warrior]!¡± Her ¡°Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity¡± fully manifested around her and Awoke before Vital Mana coated and enhanced her. Black Blood completely covered her forming an armor around her, armor enhanced with the same two Spells of before with the Skill ¡°Artifact Proficiency¡± shared with the Shape. Another mass of Black Blood formed at her back into great wings with [Greater Self], as is common for her nowadays, and the Spell [Mana Burst] with the Skill ¡°Parallel Processing¡± while a third mass formed before and around her left arm rosen to meet the light, forming a drill enhanced with [Greater Self] and [Mana-Clad Warrior] supported by her ¡°Regeneration¡± Skill. The reason she did not make clones of herself was simply because in this situation she should concentrate all of her power in a single place and about her power¡­ She Summoned her Familiars, Warden within her new armor transforming it into a scaled one, Ash within her wings causing them to burst into flames while her third Familiar, Vision, was Summoned within her drill, causing it to start rotating faster and faster while various blades emerged from it. A barrier from Warden formed around her drill as it met the mass of Mana, her barrier deflecting most of the impact from the drill to the area around her together with the flames released by her wings in violent bursts to stabilize her while the claws on her feet piercing in the ground. Her barrier was damaged while slowly healing before shattering, her drill starting to crack before her barrier formed again around it, resisting long enough for part of the damage in the drill to be regenerated. This process repeated itself over and over again, the drill being eroded time after time, Luna¡¯s legs trembling slightly at the force, before she forcefully stilled them as the assault continued for minutes, her drill from its lenght of 10 meters to a mere meter and a half, her wings continuously releasing fire to keep her stable and her armor being damaged and healed. Finally after another 2 minutes of this process, her drill shattered into pieces, the beam rushing in to engulf and kill her as she waited, her eyes focused and resolule, even as her left arm was starting to being ripped apart until the right moment. ¡°[Release]!¡± A wave of force made entirely out of her remaining Vital Mana exploded from her, deflecting as much of the attack from her as possible. The attack ended and so the result was clear to Sabel, the observer of this battle that was forced to shield herself from the impact whose eyes were wide open and locked on a certain Person, her face crimson as the Shades around her vanished. Mafel was on her hands and knees, the staff she used to support this last Spell fallen from her hands to the ground, and breathing heavily, nearing unconsciousness and having no Vital Energy or Mana. Luna meanwhile stood straight, her left arm almost completely gone as was her right forearm while her Shapes and clothes were completely gone, destroyed by the [Release] she unleashed. Any later and she would be dead, any sooner and the last of the attack would have landed on her while she was defenseless. Yet again Luna¡¯s instinct was the reason for her survival. Panting heavily, she moved to the ¡°Spectral Elf¡±, her steps sure yet unstable as she was running the emptiest she ever did in all three of her lives. Finally Luna reached her prey, the Isolated Room falling back into the medium¡¯s office, the Runes dull and empty of Energy. She reached out, using her newly reformed right hand, to take the Elf by the collar of her cloak and setting her into one of the soft chairs she had for clients. Her staff, rings and cloak were all Magical Items however they were harmless at the moment as she had previously made an Oath to only use their effects within a space similar to a Dungeon Boss¡¯ Rooms, space which her office wasn¡¯t normally. Additionally she already made multiple Oaths about what she could do, like for example the fact she was incapable to activate the Runes within this room before 10 of her Shades were to be destroyed by another Individual. Sabel watched as Luna straddled the former Boss on her legs before piercing her neck with her fangs and starting to suck her blood. The Lunarian closed her eyes in bliss as she tasted her prize, moans escaping from the Elf¡¯s mouth as her blood was drained, pleasure overwhelming her. Hurriedly Sabel covered her eyes with her hands but this was far from enough as her traitorous fingers opened without her permission, allowing her to see very well their bodies, especially the naked body of the sensual Lunarian before her. Said Lunarian separated herself from her prey momentarily, her mouth nearing one of her ears before whispering to her. ¡°You are really bold at offering yourself to me, aren¡¯t you?¡± At her words, Mafel flinched proving a confirmation to her hypothesis. ¡°The last Oath you made, that silent one, was that if I survived your last attack you would belong to me.¡± Her newly-regenerated left arm rose caressing her ¡°Spectral Elf¡±¡¯s cheek before her fangs pierced her neck again, intent on making the white-haired one, her own the way Lunarians did. Mafel died in her arms, her last breath stolen by Luna as her Soul fell in an abyss of shadows and blood, her body being invaded by her new master¡¯s Black Blood that proceded to maintain her physically alive all the while. Mafel breathed again as, instead of sending her to the Moon or consuming her Soul to feed her new Growth Skill, she moved that Soul through her own Blood back in her own Body, resurrecting her in a cheaper way than to rebuild her body later. Once she was done with fully resurrecting her, Luna smiled, moving away from her pale neck and near her mouth. Mafel twitched as her mouth felt the pressure of something soft, another pair of lips that forcefully pushed against her own, a moan escaping her again as her tongue was played with by another one until she was left breathless and barely able to sit up as she felt Luna calmly petting her head a couple of times before she left, calmly moving towards the E-Rank Adventurer. This last one was too distracted to react in time, not that she would have actually resisted as she was, being pushed on another chair with a muscular yet soft body keeping her immobile, fangs piercing her neck as pleasure overtook her. After a good 10 minutes she was finally freed of this at the same time heavenly and hellish condition. Luna, satisfied by their dazed expressions and their reactions draped herself upon the couch in the office, being still naked, while a smug aura oozed from her as she took the book about the ¡°Crafting¡± Skill and continued to read from where she last left off while waiting for her Mate and potential Mate to recover. Her Black Blood quickly closed the two doors to here, filling in both the keyholes and the doors themselves so that they would no longer open. It wouldn¡¯t do for someone to stumble upon them, after all. Meanwhile she decided that waiting for the two was no reason not to train as such she Summoned a Vision-Viper, with the Skill ¡°Parallel Processing¡± to test it out. This caused an interesting effect. At D-Rank her Skill ¡°Parallel Processing¡± granted her a total of three Processes, one of it being in a costant state of ¡°Deep Meditation¡±, another was controlling her own Vital Mana and Black Blood within her own body so that they would both move fluidly and to accelerate their recovery while feeling the Vital Energy and Mana in the area around her, finally her third natural Process was concentrating on her book and studying. However, she had a forth one at this moment, one controlling her Familiar-Viper as if it was an additional body, able to use the ¡°Third Eye of Physicality¡± Skill to help her examine the Runes in the room with the support of the sense of what is now her Main Body in all effects. She was able to finally end the Guide before the two finally rebooted, and she with a smile stretched again, enjoying the way their eyes were fixed on her body, drinking in as much as they could of her body while she drunk in as much as possible of their reactions. She retracted her Familiar, languidly standing up, before finally taking a new pair of clothes from her Storage Ring and starting to calmly get dressed under two pairs of eyes. Once done she turned to the others before simply walking to Sabel, taking her in her arms in what would be normally called a princess carry before walking back to her couch, her blood grabbing Mafel and dragging quickly there too. By the time the two least inhuman People there were able to recognize their positions, that being with Luna at the center with an arm around both of their waists with their heads leaning against her shoulders before they were both kissed on the lips, their tongues being played with repeatedly one after another until they could taste each other¡¯s taste in her mouth, their hands exploring freely Luna¡¯s body while this last one¡¯s hands did the same in response. A good half an hour later, Luna finally stopped this attack on her mates, a satisfied expression on her face as she beholded their red faces and heavy breathing, causing Sabel to release a whine in protest. ¡°Sorry but if I don¡¯t stop now, I am not going to be able to stop before having my way with the two of you and the first time should be a one-on-one, shouldn¡¯t it?¡± This last phrase was barely a whisper yet caused a shiver to travel in both of their backs. The reason Mafel didn¡¯t fight or try to resist her at all, was not because of her Oath as this last one merely obligated her to obey direct orders and no order was made, vocally or otherwise. Instead it was because she was Luna¡¯s Mate, something that is not a simple title but instead a fact, a fact that granted her a new Innate Skill, ¡°Unique Mark: Singularity¡±, freely, a Skill that beyond other things allowed her to feel Luna¡¯s emotion as her own, thing that quickly overwhelmed her, especially when it comes to pleasure coming from both herself and the beautiful Lunarian corrently holding her. This was extremely intense in the period immediately after the Mark is placed as the sudden feelings are amplified and shared with each other in an exponential increase, an increase Luna forcefully put an end to before she lost control of herself to the emotions and feelings of both of them, especially considering how as a Lunarian she had much higher physical desires than when she was an Half-Elf. She fully turned her head to Sabel while continuing to pet Mafel head and made her proposal known. ¡°Do you want me to Mark you?¡± Luna. ¡°What do you mean with ¡°Mark¡±?¡± Sabel. ¡°It¡¯s the way a Lunarian signals a Mate. My mark looks like this.¡± Luna stretched out her hand, taking Mafel¡¯s cloak and opening it and stripping her of her shirt, leaving her bare if not for her bra, thing both Luna and Sabel enjoyed seeing, even if she was not very big in the chest department as was common for Elves. The thing Luna wanted to show her potential Mate however was not the Elf¡¯s chest but the tatoo a little between her neck at the center, a tatoo quite complicated to explain. The basic layer was a series of concentric perfect circles the largest of which was 5 centimeters wide while having round connections from every single one of the circles leading to the center of it, both clock- and counter-clockwise. This was not even the most unique part of the Mark considering its coloration, a coloration that changed continuously and presenting a variety of multiple colours at once, a black that seemed like an hole and a blinding white included. Not only that but Sabel noted how the number of circles was impossible to count as even from right before it she could not find the last and most internal one. As she was distracted she felt a pair of arms encircling her waist, pulling her against Mafel¡¯s chest before this last one rose her chin and stole another kiss from her as the arms she recognized as Mafel¡¯s started to explore her body and Luna leaned herself against her back before this last one pulled both of them to her so that Sabel would be between the two while Mafel¡¯s tongue explored her mouth and two pairs of hands explored her body for a while before Luna ended this session, leaving Sabel red in face and gasping for air. Meanwhile Mafel was being restrained by Black Blood to stop her from further ¡°attacking¡± Sabel who was being carefully caressed by the silver-haired one. ¡°Sorry about this. It seems like my desires are too overwhelming for her to handle right now but don¡¯t worry. This is only temporary until she is able to properly separate her own emotions and feelings from my own and stop accidentally amplifying her own continuosly until she is not able to hold back. A temporary situation as even without any help she would be able to adapt without too much trouble.¡± Luna. ¡°And how long would this adaption take?¡± Sabel asked, worried for the former-Monster before them. ¡°The time needed to adapt changes from Person to Person but the longest time recorded was a full weak and the shortest was of around one hour. But it does have its positive points. ¡°Speaking only of the effects active at E-Rank, the first is that our Lifespan is now linked. Once you reach your prime, you will never age past it so long as I am alive. ¡°If you die, your Soul will reach my own and I will be able to create a new body for you to use. ¡°Your blood would become more effective and tasty for me while the opposite would happen when it comes to other Vampiric existences. ¡°And the final effect, as you can see, is a connection between our Souls¡± Luna calmly reassured and tempted as if a Devil while not stopping from caressing Sabel¡¯s body while Mafel looked at them, slowly calming down as she was coming to term with Luna¡¯s emotion and desires. ¡°I see.¡± Sabel responded as she watched Luna start to pet Mafel and playing with her hair, calming her further. The reason why she wasn¡¯t fighting back was quite different from the other, she simply found the way she was being caressed and touched acceptable considering how she was allowed to explore Luna¡¯s body right back as she was doing at this very moment. Sabel decided. Even if she knew for a fact that Luna was taking advantage of her own emotions and the fact that she couldn¡¯t hold back now that she was conscious of her attraction to her, the fact was she wanted more of her and so the choice was obvious. She accepted. At this, Luna smiled before pushing Sabel against the coach so that she was lying down before opening her mouth, her fangs shining as they pierced her neck while Mafel was properly immobilized, especially considering the rush of pleasure and desire all three of them would feel soon.

Familiars: Vision D Third Eye of Physicality E Weapon Mastery D Warden D Imperial Scale D Physical Resistance E Ash E Fire Magecraft D Magecraft Roaring Destruction Magnificent Ray Knockwave Attribute Modification Attribute Reflection Sorcery Mana Burst Release Mana-Clad Warrior Greater Self Chapter 26 9/14 15:57 (Summer, Night) Sabel returned to rationality after hours to find her head resting on Luna¡¯s shoulder while being gently pet, her hands bound by shackles of Black Blood with Mafel in the same situation so that they wouldn¡¯t . Or at a second look, a similar situation as the former Boss was still under the influence of the Mark as she noted from the fact that the white-haired one had an expression of bliss in her face, her eyes closed in contentment. ¡°How is¡­?¡± Sabel. ¡°She is fine. She needs a bit more time to separate my emotions from her own as she is less used to feeling things than you.¡± Luna petted her head as her bonds dissolved. ¡°How long was I out?¡± ¡°No idea. It¡¯s night right now. Can you walk?¡± ¡°Yes, I-¡± Sabel tried to stand up only to almost fall, barely able to stop herself before Luna helped her with her blood to lead her back to the coach and her arms. Sabel found herself embraced by her front while Mafel leaned against her back. She sighed, relaxing, while hugging Luna back before she noted something else. ¡°Why am I not hungry? Even with Vital Energy, I should be.¡± ¡°Simple really. I am transfering my Vital Mana to you two to feed you.¡± ¡°I-I see. Thank you? How long do you think she is going to be out of it?¡± Sabel asked Luna about Mafel only to recieve an unexpected answer. ¡°Why don¡¯t you try to feel the answer using your Mark?¡± ¡°How do I- no. You are right, I must find out myself.¡± Sabel started to concentrate on herself, more specifically on the warmth in her chest, deep within her heart, calling for her attention. No, she corrected, deep within her soul she found the Mark, a tether connecting to something, no someone, else. As she concentrated on it, she saw. Information almost blanked her mind before she slowly was able to slowly start to navigate the information, noting how the information was her own memories, even those she forgot, mixed with her own, Luna¡¯s and even Mafel¡¯s emotions. As such, slowly she was able to concentrate until the influx of memories slowed more and more until they became just a trickle, trickle that quickly ended. She sighed, exausted, before concentrating again, this time on the tether itself and not the part of herself connecting to it. Their Link was not very strong yet, barely born, yet was more than enough for her to send a request for information, request that was answered almost automatically by Luna¡¯s Soul not with words but pure information. As such she understood the other needed an additional hour before she regained full control. She turned to her own body, relaxing against Luna as this last one continued to pet her head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you must have been bored this hours¡­¡± ¡°Not at all, fending the two of you off was quite entertaining and I had more than enough time to finish reading the three book and practice.¡± Luna responded, a True Self manifesting before them holding one of the books for them to read before saluting and Dispelling, the book vanishing back in her Ring. ¡°I see. Then I¡¯m relieved.¡± Having said her piece Sabel leaned her head back on Luna¡¯s shoulder and started to doze off. ¡°Very well. Now that Sabel is calmly sleeping, my Mafel is even more passive and so I can properly train all out.¡± A mass of Black Blood rose from her shadows enveloping the three of them in an hollow sphere, mixing together with Vital Mana forming a True Sphere, enhanced with [Greater Self] and [Mana-Clad Warrior], while sharing with it one of her Skills, ¡°Presence Suppression¡± to hide them. A second one formed within it enhanced with the sames Spells while with the Skill ¡°Artifact Proficiency¡± to enhance the effect of the Shapes within and around it. The third and final sphere finally formed within it with the Skill ¡°High-Speed Processing¡±, accelerating the inside slightly. Immediately after her 5 True Images appeared within the sphere, being complete, naked, copies of herself made out of liquid darkness with bright purple lights in the place of her irises. This caused another reaction because of the Skill ¡°Parallel Processing¡± joining them to the network that was her mind. Finally she Summoned her Familiars within three of her True Images causing them to change even further. The one harboring Warden changed the least, its skin becoming densely packed scales as part of her hairs became horns, the one holding Ash changed the most when it comes to material, becoming made entirely out of solid flames. Finally, the one holding her oldest Familiar changed the most, its nails and fangs becoming sharp as knives, a third light appearing on its forehead while its hairs became similar to sturdy whips ending in a spinning drill to impale individuals. She smiled analyzing the changes within them caused by their Ranks and the presence of her Familiars and the way she herself would behave in that situation to find and correct any inefficiencies. Starting from the most important and numerous change was that her own Unique Skill was inherited as an Innate Skill in their cases while her own Growth Skills don¡¯t allow them to gain any Magicules in the first place. But the most interesting thing was the effect of ¡°Singularity¡± upon Ash. This last one had as Skill only ¡°Fire-Attribute Magecraft¡±, a Skill that needed a minimum Affinity towards the Fire Attribute, thing that should have been rendered useless because of her own Unique Skill only for said Skill to change, showing a new side to it. Instead of reducing all Affinities to nothing while boosting the No-Attribute Affinity to the maximum, in this case it instead reduced all Affinities, the No-Attribute one included, to nothing while bringing the Fite-Attribute one to the maximum. She smiled as another piece of the puzzle she and her Unique Skill were being revealed to her before the test even really started. The battle started in full with her Images using Vital Mana to nullify the damage to her, her Mates and the office itself while she observed them attently, in movements sure but especially her three Familiars-Images¡¯ version of her and their own Skills. Immediately she recognized that her Warden-Image and her Vision-Image had the advantage, one when it comes to defenses, thanks to the combination of ¡°Imperial Scales¡± and ¡°Physical Resistance¡±, while the other had an advantage derived by its perception and its sheer versatility derived from its natural weaponry. Meanwhile Ash was instead being slowly but surely being driven back as it was incapable of using ¡°No-Attribute Sorcery¡± and ¡°No-Attribute Magecraft¡± as it had no No-Attribute Affinity. Some may wonder why she was bothering to train in this way, thinking she was merely trying to became better at fighting but while this is true, it is not the only reason. The main reason for such, the one not normally actively known about, is that someone could use an immense amount of training to slowly drill against the Wall of their progress to decrease the Burden of the Skills on their Soul, training that because of the sharing of ¡°Parallel Processing¡± the Images¡¯ is counting as her own. As she observed the battle royal before her, she noted how her Images were behaving, carefully concentrating their assault on the Ash-Image. This from the outside may have seemed like the four of them decided to eliminate the weakest of the bunch but the truth was quite different, as shown by the fact that it was surviving in a battle against four Beings with the same stats as it using ¡°No-Attribute Sorcery¡± to enhance themselves. The truth was that the four of them were driving it into a corner to force it to adapt, leaving it no chance to survive otherwise, as the thought that a copy of Luna channeling a Familiar would be weaker than a copy of Luna alone was unacceptable to all other Lunas. The only thing they could accept as behavior was to drive it to a corner until it could properly fight back. Method that worked as evident by the fact that flames quickly started enveloping its fists, a Sorcery of the Fire Attribute used without the Skill to increase its power and ease of use, thing quite easy for Luna to do considering its naturally high Control caused by ¡°Singularity¡±. This caused her to actualize a Sorcery normally called [Burning Grasp] through pure knowledge, intuition and will, Casting quite the high-level Spell with the ease of a master. This was evident from the analysis Luna made of its effects as it struck one of the Images, causing two, no three Complex Alteration of Status at once, ¡°Burning Resistance Down (Self)¡±, ¡°Burning Damage Increase (Self)¡± and ¡°Continuous Burning (Self)¡±, both of them lasting a whole 10 minutes even if she herself was the one recieved this attack. Attack that didn¡¯t end even now as its hands were still clad in a flaming red aura while the struck Image was periocally bursting into flames from the inside out. The effects of these Alterations were simple, really. ¡°Burning Resistance Down (Self)¡± lowered the Resistance to the Status ¡°Burning¡± of who has it, ¡°Burning Damage Increase (Self)¡± increases the damage the ¡°Burning¡± Status inflicts once Active and finally the ¡°Continuous Burning (Self)¡±, a Status that constantly inflicts some ¡°Burn¡± every second. Simple Status Alterations like ¡°Burning¡± have three layer of effects depending on the Resistance and the amount of Status Effect inflicted. In this case the ¡°Burning¡± Status Effect has the following effects with the basic potency depending on the source: The first is that the Target recieves more Fire Damage from following attacks and is always active so long as ¡°Burning¡± is present; the second is the Active effect, happening once the inflicted Status is equal or superior to the Resistance, that contiuously inflicts Fire Damage to the Target; finally, the third and final effect is an amplification of both the previous two effects relative to the difference between the Status and the Resistance. Luna watched studying the following battle as Ash-Image started to use ¡°Fire-Attribute Sorcery¡± and ¡°Fire-Attribute Magecraft¡± to fight back against Warden-Image¡¯s barriers and the attacks of Vision-Image who¡¯s even its missed attacks were dangerous as the area around it was sharp as a blade. She felt it, the Progress Wall being slowly grinded because of their efforts and her own constant passive trainining. Time passed as Luna examined the slowly stabilizing connection between herself and her two Mates deep within their Souls while analyzing her own emotions and the desires natural of a Lunarian, much more intense than even that of an Half-Elf. It was the reason why she couldn¡¯t stop herself from taking the two of them as her own in such little time while the previous her never even thought about People in any romantic way or even simply cared about other¡¯s People existence. The truth was that as a Lunarian she was more similar to a normal Person than when she was an Half-Elf thanks to both her time around the old Vampire to analyze how he behaved and the stronger desires of a Lunarian helped her understand other People¡¯s emotion. She concentrated back to the fight, noting how the Skills her Familiar-Image were using would be quite different from the same Skills if used by her. The ¡°Fire-Attribute Magecraft¡± of Ash was able to generate, control and amplify flames; ¡°Third Eye of Physicality¡± of Vision was able to roughtly see the opponents¡¯ Vital Energy while its ¡°Weapon Mastery¡± rendered its body a natural weapon; finally, when it comes to Warden, its ¡°Imperial Scale¡± allowed it to create Barriers all over the place because it was incorporeal as just a Shade while its ¡°Physical Resistance¡± was being channeled through her barriers. All these were things she wouldn¡¯t be able to do without her Familiars. As her Images continued to battle, destroying and being destroyed in return, she felt it, her Soul growing in power enough to lessen the Burden to the point that it finally happened, she gained a new Skill surpassing her Wall, a Skill she wanted intensely. *Luna Gained the Ability Skill ¡°Crafting¡±. She smiled, satisfied, and it was just in time too as Mafel finally was able to focus on reality, her Images vanishing. Differently from Sabel, she instantly found their Link together and mastered its use, sending and asking informations with the same, if not greater, ease than simply asking to Luna¡¯s pride to her Mate. Meanwhile Luna examined the difference in her abilities from before noting no particular change from before, just a slight increase in power, at least for now. ¡°So what do you want to do?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to leave this city tomorrow. You are free to accompany me if you want to but you will be mine all the same.¡± This response was only partial as all the same very soon they would always know each others¡¯ location and she planned to come back to bring Sabel back with her. This wasn¡¯t hidden from Mafel and neither was the completely absent sense of direction that is part of Luna¡¯s being, thing she understood easily throught their Mate Link. ¡°I see. In that case I will search you once I conquer the Dungeons nearby while keeping my new sister? Company.¡± ¡°Very well.¡± Luna accepted easily before kissing her Mate softly. ¡°Let¡¯s relax for now.¡± Her five Images, three housing her Familiars, were Summoned to restart her training.

Sabel blushed heavily before looking at Mafel for an escape. This last one noted the look and smiled reassuringly in response before said smile became a smirk of amusement. ¡°Obviously, after all it seems only natural for us to enjoy some quality time together.¡± The Elf was much more relaxed now that she could feel the Soul-eater¡¯s emotions for her own and her Oath to belong to the Lunarian was overwritten by Luna¡¯s Mate Mark. In other words, she was free of the conseguences of her Oaths and the only thing missing to return to her previous level of power was time to recreate her Shades and store enough Vital Energy and Mana. Or¡­ Or instead¡­ Mafel decided to ask her Mate for information of the creation and use of Vital Mana through their Link to modify her Runes to store it instead. It should be quite a bit more efficient in the long run, or at least more effective. This Link, while slightly biased in favor of the Lunarian, was actually quite fair and so a request for information requires an offering for information in response. In this specific case, the information Mafel shared as the offering was the way to create Oaths, things quite precious to Luna considering how she had no idea of the process to make a Vow. The exchange was accepted without much trouble as the informations was quickly shared between the two Mates. So Luna started to experiment with making an Oath by constantly making and dissolving it with variable amounts of Vital Mana to measure the difference, noting something very curious. Neither the amount of Vital Mana used in the creation of the Oath, the Control over the Energy or various Affinities mattered, differently from the Quality of the Energy. And the Oaths she made were simple and concise. ¡°I Vow: I will always be in a state of ¡°Deep Meditation¡±. ¡°I Vow: I will never use Vital Energy and Mana separated. ¡°I Vow: I will never use Blood and Shadows separated. ¡°I Vow: I will never use an Artifact made by other¡¯s hands if they aren¡¯t made explicitly for me. ¡°I Vow: I will never Manifest my ¡°Unique Arma¡± without Awakening it.¡± Purple chains manifested briefly around Luna after this declaration, clenching tightly around her and trying to soffocate her. Tentative that failed as her Vital Mana flared intensely. Luna closed her eyes, stretching and examining the changes in her being caused by her Oaths. She sighed before freely giving Mafel and Sabel information about her own three Growth Skills to help them grow in the future while she was away. As her eyes watched her two Mates dealing with the information she just shared with them, she decided to speak. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go to sleep? Sleeping on it should help you two integrate the informations properly.¡± The proposal was accepted without any particular objection as the three retreated to the Elf¡¯s bedroom on the floor just above her office, after this last one made sure that the door was properly closed. -- (Yggrar) In a continent far away, a continent constituited by a circle with a diameter of 3000 kilometers, emerged the oldest and biggest Being on the planet, an enormous tree whose bark was seemingly made out of crystal of every colors while its black leaves drank in all the light it could to fuel the enormous tree and the barrier it was sustaining to protect the nation built around it, seeking its protection. This tree was simply without any comparison to anything else in the World of Gaea, being what could be called a weeping willow as wide as it was tall, in other words, around 2900 kilometers in either direction. Within the second biggest building within the continent of Yggrar, both of them being right next to the trunk of Yig, being the Adventurer Guild¡¯s Headquarters, the Guild Grandmaster, looking like a young androginous Human, was sprawled on their desk bored out of their mind as they had already finished the paperwork for the next eleven days, wondering if they should proceed further. ¡°Come in.¡± They spoke before one of their assistant could even knock upon the door, door that quickly opened to let in their newest segretary, a position mostly for show as they had no need for such. ¡°There is an urgent message from the Guild Master of the city of Nealet, Midrar.¡± ¡°Oh? What does he want?¡± Their curiosity was evident as they turned to fully sit on their desk, eager for information and amusement in equal misure. ¡°It seems like at least a Dungeon in the area was created and modified.¡± ¡°Hoh? You sure? Gimme details.¡± A sigh escaped their assistant before she continued. ¡°Yes, he sent a Party to make sure the information was real.¡± ¡°I see. In that case, ask him for the memory and offer an E-Rank Ability Skill of his choice in recompense. Additionally, Rediliv. I have some informations for you.¡± ¡°Grandmaster, are you sure-¡± ¡°What do you want, brat.¡± A voice rang out from all around them before a new figure made entirely out of energy appeared in the middle of the room, long green hairs and a dress made entirely out of leaves. ¡°As expected only the oldest granny in the World would ever call me a brat. And it seems like someone was able to create and modify a Dungeon.¡± The Driad, as beautifull as she was indifferent, merely rose a simple eyebrow, her golden eyes showing no interest to this information. ¡°And so? I have no interest in Dungeons.¡± ¡°As expected from the oldest living Being, Rediliv the God Tree¡¯s Priestess to be blind to quick changes and their causes.¡± ¡°I am not the oldest Being alive, my Master is. And you cannot even try to Imitate my Master.¡± Rediliv protested with strenght before in answer Stere Hapu, the Grandmaster, rolled their eyes. ¡°You know as well as I do that your ¡°Master¡± ¡± they indicated towards the great tree. ¡°is long dead, being a Soul-less existence before you were even Awake.¡± ¡°I reject your reasoning.¡± They were lucky to be one of the top ten strongest People in the World that this exclamation was the only conseguence for what she would recognize as heresy. ¡°Ahh, speaking with religious fanatics is so tiring, especially if they are the religious and political head of the continent you are in.¡± ¡°You will never be able to Imitate Master.¡± ¡°I know. Considering its size and its material composition I would need more raw power than is present in this World at any moment in time. If Orichalcum is a metal so imbued by Energy that it transforms in a new metal, it absorbed so much Energy that its leaves are even superior, to not speak of its bark or I suppose its wood.¡± Rediliv smugly grinned at hearing praises for her Master and Creator before turning back into energy and leaving without any further comment. ¡°As always Spiritual Beings, especially Created ones, are as big a pain in the ass as they are aesthetically pleasing. She left, you can stand up now.¡± The Doppelganger told the still bowing one before activating an Artifact, more specifically the one that connects with the memories freely shared with them, more than could be thought about as some individuals like their segretary is required to have their memory fully opened to them while in other places its tradition to share memories with them. This was not as much a breach of privacy as it could be with another Guild Grandmaster as they had absolutely no interest in sexual or romantic relationships. ¡°Ah, before you leave. Tomorrow is a male day.¡± The youngest Person within the Top Ten, just under 400 years old, finally found the memories the Guild Master shared with them, analyzing them. ¡°This is becoming more and more interesting.¡± The Being with the highest ammount of Skills in the World murmured at low volume to themselves, a sharp grin on their face, as they observed the memories the Guildmaster sent them in advance reguarding this Luna and what she told him. -- (Nord Lowrar) As the night was ending, two Persons met for another match. Flame and ice met fighting for domination as Phoenix and Ice Dragon prepared to fight again but the situation was quite different from the last fight. While Amber was a little stronger than before as demonstrated by her more concentrated flames that started to mix in the Light-Attribute, Aurora was completely different from their last conflict as demonstrated by her apparent age being higher and the much more intense cold, freezing the area around her. Not only that but, despite her blank expression, her eyes were full of an intense desire to kill the one before her. This battle would end quite differently from their previous one and both of the Legendary Creatures could feel it as shown by the fact they were both in an Humanoid form and ready to fight at full power. -- (Dunrar) In a completely different continent, more specifically within the deepest point of a Dungeon in Dunrar in the Core Room, a man was kneeling before a floating blue jewel that was pulsing regularly. Said man looked like an handsome man in his early-thirties with long black hair and traits some Otherworlders would call asians. This, however, was no being coming from the World of Earth but a Cultivator from another World, more specifically a Demonic Cultivator whose former Sect specialized in poisons and insects in general. ¡°This lowly one give his thanks to the venerable Master for the opportunity they generously offered.¡± The bowing Human exclaimed while the Dungeon Core before him, pulsing at the center of the circular room it was in. This Dungeon Core was being used as a medium to allow comunication between him and his Master, Master that just granted him the way to grow stronger. Said way was simple considering his origin as a demonic poison cultivator and the Dungeon whose Core Room she was in, a Dungeon specialized in Insectoid Monsters. And his plan was quite simple, really. As the Core ceased its blue coloration and returned to being its natural transparent color while he proceded with his plan thanks to the control of the Dungeon¡¯s Monsters he was gifted with. All the Monsters within the unknown C-Rank Dungeon moved to the center of the last Boss¡¯ Room, with various silk-making insects trapping them all within, condensing it more and more. Meanwhile the Nameless Cultivator, as the tradition of his Sect was to remove the Names of all the disciples until they reach a certain Stage and they are at least an Inner Disciple, spread his Vital Energy and Mana around the silk, starting to slowly compress it while keeping the poison, blood, other liquids and especially Energies sealed within. This was an approximation of the process to make a Gu, thing that he learned in secret while in his Sect, and an interesting experiment when it comes to his Master. This process was slow, sure, but the Dungeon was made and modified in an hidden place explicitely for him and so he had more than enough time to succed. His Master, meanwhile, continued to divide their attention between both the Cultivator and all their various Dungeons, noting how one of them was discovered. They nodded to themselves while keeping some of their attention to their subordinate, well aware he was planning on betraying them later, as was his nature and nurture. It was only natural they had an ace in their sleeves. More specifically, the 10th Ranked Person in the World, the Ancestor that was Sealed by the hands of the 7th and 8th Ranked ones to definitively stop their Rampage. The formless Dungeon Maker observed said Ancestor, a surprisingly beautifull androginous Human-looking Person, their eyes closed as they were still within what looked like a glass coffin but was quite the different material. The one active between the two was quite aware of the difference in power between the two but was also aware of the fact that they would grow in time while the other was stuck, unable to even gain Magicules. And they would grow fast considering how every single Being dying in their Dungeons would allow them to grow further. Dungeons whose number they were carefully but continuously growing, between those they conquered, those they created and those they altered. While the Cultivator started to laugh maniacally, his eyes and smile full of madness, the poison, Vital Energy and Mana started to fuse slowly together within the cocoon forming a new type of Energy and the Beings within were melting down in a new Lifeform, a Gu the Dungeon Maker was observing one of their Dungeon being conquered by a Party called the Iriblades that seemed to be quite irritated by the Dungeon to their amusement. -- 9/15 0:48 (Summer, Day) *Luna Gains 310+800+300 Magicules.

Chapter 28 9/15 3:29 (Summer, Day) As Luna was running semi-seriously, moving at a speed no Unenhanced Person could ever react to, towards the border between Midrar and Lowrar without knowing, only to suddently stop as the place she would otherwise be in was suddently struck by lightning. Looking up, the Lunarian smiled as she saw her opponents. Twenty three ¡°Metal Thunder Living Golems¡± were floating, surrounding her as static electricity started to fill the air above and around her, shaping into a double-layered cage as they floated in formation around her, one covering only her and the other all of them. ¡°Living Golems¡± are unique when it comes to Monsters as they were born thanks to a Reincarnated Person¡¯s Unique Skill capable to breath life into Golems and allow them to pseudo-grow. Once this Person died, however, the Golems slowly died one after another until only one remained, the Golem with the ability to create new Golems. This last one followed on by creating new ones to modify and upgrade itself repeatedly until it had no more need for that as it now counted as a Living Being, more specifically a Monster called ¡°Living Golems Sorce¡±, a Monster capable of making ¡°Living Golems¡± and using the blueprint from its former Master and Maker to create new types of Golems. Golems that spread upon the World, Evolving, Changing and being Changed by the People and the habitat like the ¡°Metal Thunder Living Golems¡± before her. Another, very important, characteristics of Living Golems in general was that they could not absorb Magicules, Gain Ability Skills or Increase the Rank of any Skill that is not a Racial Skill however they will automatically gain 3 Innate Skills and increase the Rank of all other Innate Skills they own every time the Racial Skill¡¯s Rank increased. As was common between ¡°Living Golems¡± their sense of individuality was quite weak as shown by the fact that the electricity they were continuously generating from around their bodies was perfectly in sync thanks to and as shown by their Innate Skill common between ¡°Living Golems¡±, ¡°Coordination¡±. The Lunarian quickly counted the metallic bird-like Monsters, noting thirteen at E-Rank, seven at D-Rank and 3 at C-Rank. Without a doubt they were retreating from something but this didn¡¯t tell her much as she doubted they were in the same group for long and this wouldn¡¯t change her situation any as ¡°Living Golems¡± would never fight between each other, for any reasons. Luna took out a piece of metal and threw it in the air were it remained, suspended by the same Skill ¡°Magnetic Amplification¡± that allowed the bird-like Golems to fly despite the Skill ¡°Metallic Body¡±. Her eyes moved from the E-Ranks to the D-Ranks that were preparing to rain their metallic feathers on her through the Skill ¡°Projectile Fire¡± while flying in the air at high-speed with ¡°High-Speed Flight¡± and raining down lightning bolts on the ground around her with the Skill ¡°Electrify¡±. Finally the three at C-Rank were amplifying the power of the electricity in the area through their Innate Skill ¡°Lightning-Attribute Amplification¡± while flying in the air at even higher speeds thanks to ¡°Acceleration¡±. Instantly Black Blood and Vital Energy erupted from around Luna, solidifying into her True Armor, True Wings and a True Spear in her left hand; Shapes that quickly changed because of her Summoning of her Familiars within them. Her Spear lenghtened and sharpened thanks to her Vision, a shining gem forming at his tip and a dagger on its heel while a bloodthirsty Aura formed around it because of the Skill she shared, ¡°Vampirism¡±. Her Armor became scaled, horns growing from her head and claws from her hands while its Aura became a solid barrier around her, ¡°Regeneration¡± being shared with it. Her Wings bursted into solid flames while maintaing their shape. But this was far from the end of her preparations. She was fighting, after all, against a force equivalent to between 4 and 5 C-Class enemies. ¡°Awaken!¡± Her Vital Mana exploded around her at a greater intensity than before as the battle started in earnest. Her Spear shifted into a Whip as it shattered the metallic feathers sent against her while quickly dodging and deflecting the lightning bolts falling from the sky while making various Magical Circles in the air with her Black Blood to send back miniaturized versions of [Roaring Destruction], her new Spell she called [Mana Laser]. Finally the three at higher Rank entered in the battle actively, ranning at her covered in electricity while sending forward metal knifes linked with lines made out of electricity. Lines that she dodged by forming a sphere out of Vital Mana she spread Warden¡¯s barrier too before it exploded, sending them off course before sending back various True Arrows at the C-Rank Golems. Golems that didn¡¯t bother defending themselves as they created a barrier to stop them in advance using their ¡°Barrier¡± Skill. The Person swung her Sword sending in advance a flying slash before turning her Vision-Weapon into a Spear and jumping forward to thrust her Spear throught the wing of one D-Rank one thanks to a sudden burst of fire before retreating immediately after, lightning hitting the place she just was in. She needed to kill as many of the Living Golems as she could as fast and efficiently as possible because ¡°Coordination¡± would passively strengthen all of them. Otherwise she would die without any doubt even if she was equivalent to a mid C-Class Adventurer. [Mana Lasers] constantly harassed the Living Golems trying to distract them from properly fighting back by forcing them to continuously dodge while she herself was dodging the lightnings thanks to Ash and shattering the feathers with her Whip. ¡°This is doing nowhere fast. I¡¯m losing Vital Mana while they are able to maintain full capacity by working together.¡± Luna noted, a smile on her face. Suddently her Wings opened at maximum width, releasing a Burst of flames and Vital Mana at the cost of a good chunk out of her Vital Mana, to shatter the metal feathers she deflected previously that were falling back against her thanks to the altered magnetic force in the place. She looked to the Living Golems that were slowly fying around the lightning cage, preparing to attack, her Vital Mana surging around her, a wild smile on her face as her Magical Circles in the area shut down to conserve as much Vital Mana as possible. As new metal projectiles were shot towards her together with lightning bolts as she danced around them, laugher escaping her as she shut down her Unique Arma¡¯s Awakening to start Recovering Vital Mana faster that she could spent it. Her Weapon changing and swinging continuously around her, her barrier deflecting away projectiles and her Wings beating and releasing Bursts to dodge the lightning bolts falling from the sky while her laugher rang out in the plain. Quickly her Weapon and Armor were enveloped into flames as she accelerated more and more, waves of cutting flames being released repeatedly all over the place. Vital Mana started pulsing as she found the pattern of their attacks becoming gradually more and more efficient with her fighting. Living Golems had a fatal weakness, they had almost no individuality even at B-Rank and so they were predictable once someone adapts to their timing. Her flames concentrated in a luminous point upon the tip of her Vision-Spear before she stepped hard on the floor, shattering it, and throwing it throught the chest of one of the D-Rank ones and exploding in a blaze of heat with Luna applying ¡°Vampirism¡± through her Spear to take in its Soul as it died by being shattered into pieces. Instantly the Soul was sent on to the Moon, her new Familiar containing ¡°High-Speed Flight¡± being Fused with Ash, hastening their flight immensely, while weakening all of her living preys because of the cessation of one ¡°Coordination¡± Skill. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Ash Gains the Skill ¡°High-Speed Flight¡±. More and more, faster and faster, she dodged the attacks from all around her, adapting to her own new speed, flames quickly rising from around her releasing various [Fire Rains] being Casted, Magical Circles forming in the sky, causing fire to fall all over the place in repeating waves, while her Ash-Wings sent forward concentrated beams of fire towards them. This assault was far from enough to significantly injure any of the Golems working together but that was not its purpouse but merely to distract them and stopping them from strengthening their electric cage any further by constantly damaging it from both the inside and the outside. As the E-Ranked ones were carefully observing and attacking her from a distance, the C-Ranked ones were continuously maintaining and strengthening the cage and the D-Ranked ones were protecting themselves and their superiors, it finally happened. Luna¡¯s plan succeded as shown by two of the E-Ranks being stabbed throught their chest by the Spear Luna previously threw that took advantage of their distraction. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Warden Gains the Skill ¡°Metallic Body¡±. *Luna Created a new Familiar called Blitz based on the Skill ¡°Magnetic Amplification¡±. At that moment Luna launched herself forward with a Burst of flames and Vital Mana abusing her new Skills to close in to a C-Ranked one by ignoring the layer of the barrier separating her from the Living Golems, tanking the attacks of the two closest D-Ranked Living Golems guarding it thanks to the increase in defensive power because of this newly acquired Skill to grab its wings with her hands, pulling back her head and slamming it into the Golem¡¯s chest, goring it with her horns before slamming it against one of the D-Ranks, her returned Spear becoming a Greatsword and severing the other D-Ranked in two. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Blitz Gains the Skill ¡°Electrify¡±. Electricity mixed in with her Aura of Vital Mana and Fire as her newly created Familiar was Summoned within her Tail, a long Viper¡¯s head, its eyes observing the recovered Golems. Her Aura¡¯s individual parts weakened further because of the discord between them however the whole was still greater than the sum of its parts. Her newly transformed Spear became coated similarly in her Aura before piercing precisely the wing of the D-Ranked one she previously wounded, pinning it to the ground before its handle split in two to stab its legs as she dropped to the ground with an explosion, dodging a lightning bolt. The ground under her shattered deeply because of her weight and speed, her Ash-Wings forming something like a ¡°V¡± out of flames from her back, her Blitz-Tail splitting this formation, its head opening its mouth and releasing a bolt of electricity to strike down a faraway E-Ranked ¡°Metal Thunder Living Golem¡±, Shocking it. Luna forcefully pierced the ground under her with her fingers, forcefully ripping it up and coating it in her Vital Mana, throwing it to the sky blocking a thunder from the sky, before exploding forward, kicking the C-Rank she previously wounded and piercing it with the claws in her left foot, keeping herself stuck to the Monster. As such, it was simple for her to grab its head with her hands, forcefully opening its mouth, and releasing a wave of Black Blood, filling it completely and shattering it from the inside out before taking it back in while her Spear finally killed the struggling D-Ranked one. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Blitz Gains the Skill ¡°Lightning-Attribute Amplification¡±. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Vision Gains the Skill ¡°Projectile Fire¡±. She stretched, releasing an explosion of Vital Mana, Fire and Lightning to offset a rain of metal feathers before making her five of her True Images ten meters away from her as the place she was in was devastatingly assaulted by a five meters across lightning, her Armor doing its best to deflect as much as possible of the electricity to the ground thanks to its ¡°Metallic Body¡± while minimizing the damage to Luna with its barrier. As she swayed in place, her Armor slowly rebuilding itself on its own around her thanks to the ¡°Regeneration¡± Skill while she used her Vital Mana and Black Blood to Resummon her other Familiars around her, her laugher echoed in the zone. Meanwhile the inner portion of the Lightning Cage they tried to lock her in decompressed in static, rising the electricity in the dome. It was time for both sides to go at it at full tilt, between the Lunarian and the remaining 2 C-Rank, 4 D-Rank and 11 E-Rank.

Chapter 29 9/15 3:54 (Summer, Day) Immediately various electric attacks rained down on the Paralyzed Lunarian only to be stopped by the combined efforts of her newly restored Familiars and her True Images before this last ones returned fire by Casting various Spells. Lightning bolts were blocked by barriers Casted by the True Images attuned to negate the Lightning-Attribute while her metal knifes were blocked by her Familiars effort while she was recovering from both the Paralysis and the Damage she recieved from the previous lightning bolt. A group of 2 D- and 4 E-Ranked Golems flew towards the Images led by a C-Ranked one in a ¡°V¡± formation while the others Golem continued the bombardment of ranged attacks only for the E-Ranked ones to be suddently struck by blades of Black Blood launched by her Vision-Weapon wielded by one of her True Images through its new ¡°Projectile Fire¡± Skill, piercing their body and sending them crashing to the ground thanks to the ¡°Presence Concealment¡± Skill. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Vision Gains the Skill ¡°Coordination¡±. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Warden Gains the Skill ¡°Coordination¡±. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Ash Gains the Skill ¡°Coordination¡±. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Blitz Gains the Skill ¡°Coordination¡±. The reason for such a choice was simply and exclusively based on her future more than her current situation, sure, but even now it helped her Familiars defend her against the continuous assaults of the other Golems. Slowly, painfully, Luna restarted to move just in time to block the ramming at high speed from another of the C-Rankers, being dragged away, her feet digging two deep trenches in the ground before slamming against the solid barrier of lightning, her Warden¡¯s barrier doing its best to shield her from the damage. Slowly Luna found purchase around the Living Golem¡¯s ¡°Barrier¡±, before ever-so-slowly deflecting her aggressor to the ground before burying it under a flurry of punches covered in Vital Mana, flames and lightning, trying to shatter its ¡°Barrier¡± and its body at once, the ground around them being bombarded in assaults. This was far from enough as her Ash-Wings started to release explosions from her back with Luna redirecting all the force of the explosions in her blows, that accelerated more and more, faster and faster, the ground around them continuously shattering as rocks were reduced into nothing around them by waves of pure destructive power. Finally, after a good thirty minutes, the Golem fell apart as Luna was breathing heavily, the bones of her hands completely destroyed even with her Armor, only not bleeding because she was manually moving her own Black Blood while regenerating. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Warden Gains the Skill ¡°Barrier¡±. She smiled, exhausted, as the barrier caused by ¡°Imperial Scale¡± ceased to be before reappering around her fused with Warden¡¯s new Skill, compressing the Aura around Luna in a dense layer just two centimeters large. Not only that but the barriers she could previously Cast by taking advantage of the fact Warden on its own is more or less incorporeal that were half as resistant as the one around herself and even more fragile, was completely rebuilt thanks to its new Skill in a Barrier vastly sturdier and capable to share her own and Warden¡¯s Resistance Skills with the ¡°Barrier¡± as shown by the fact that her barrier was recovering faster than the feathers could damage it and its ¡°Metallic Body¡± Skill increased its defensive power further. Stretching slightly to regain feelings in her arms and especially her newly regenerated hands, she turned back to her remaining preys. It was time for her to feast, smiling as her Barriers formed directly before the C-Rank Living Golem¡¯s flight path, making it crash into it and disturbing its flight long enough for the Vision-Weapon to return in Luna¡¯s hand, joining its Aura to her own. And so what would in the future be known as the Whole Moon raged, the electric cage around her being overwhelmed in an instanct and destroyed by her black Aura exploding in a wave of pure power. Wave that quickly condensed in a black pulsing sphere around her with a range of two meters, before rainbow cracks formed in the black surface, cracks that slowly grew, until the sphere reached its limit, collapsing and releasing a rainbow-colored beam of annihilation that enveloped and erased the last remaining C-Rank Golem and two of the remaining D-Rank, this last ones being fed to her ¡°Devouring Evolution¡±. *Luna Gained 100 + 5 Magicules. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Ash Gains the Skill ¡°Acceleration¡±. *Luna¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± Rank increased to C-Rank. *Luna Gains the Innate Skill ¡°Lunar Resistance¡±. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Familiar Summoning¡± Expands thanks to ¡°Devouring Evolution¡±. Luna breathed, in and out, repeatedly calming down her aching body from her failed tentative to activate ¡°Annihilating Conversion¡±. All Unique Skill had an active effect and that was the failed Activation of her Unique Skill¡¯s. Yes, this failed Activation had this much power, sure, but that was but a pale shadows to what a successfull Activation would entail. The only reason why she was able to Activate it while not being at the right Rank to theorically use it was because she concentrated on raising her own Aura and her Familiars¡¯ as high as she possibly could while being familiar with it¡¯s Effect, having activated it when she was still Scarlet. The purpouse of this Activation was simple, really. A complete Conversion and subsequent Domination of all Matter and Energy within its Range to rebuild herself completely into a superior version. However she wasn¡¯t able to completate this Process and the Energy she wasn¡¯t able to integrate into herself was released as that wave of destruction. Luna proceded to Summon her Familiars again as they were annihilated by the Activation of this Process, feeling her own and her Familiar¡¯s Power rising with every single one Summoned thanks to their ¡°Coordination¡± Skills and the change occuring within her own ¡°Familiar Summoning¡± Skill making it so it would count as a ¡°Coordination¡± Rank E Skill when it comes to her Familiars. Meanwhile, she felt it. The power of her targets fell significantly because of the elimination of the relatively high-Ranked Golems, losing in Existence, Energy Recovery and Energy Quality. Not only that but they had no more chance to recreate the cage of before having neither the Total Quantity required to sustain it or enough Quality for the barrier to matter even if they could. The battle was over, the only thing left was for her to clean up. And clean up she did as her Aura exploded from around her, mixing with the Aura of her own Familiars into a perfect mix, as she jumped towards the remaining Golems, her Aura following with her blows to bring an end to this fight. After all, on their own Living Golems are actually nothing special at equal Ranks and Lunarians are pratically one Rank higher that what they should be even if they are specialized in survivability. Now that they were at equal Rank, this battle was over. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Lunar Resistance¡± Expands thanks to ¡°Devouring Evolution¡±. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Familiar Summoning¡± Expands thanks to ¡°Devouring Evolution¡±. *Luna¡¯s Spells [Mana Burst], [Release], [Greater Self] and [Mana-Clad Warrior] and [Burning Grasp] fuse together into the Innate Skill ¡°Unleash Aura¡±. *Luna Dissolves the Oath ¡°I will never Manifest my ¡°Unique Arma¡± without Awakening it.¡± Luna closed her eyes, stretching slightly in pleasure at her newfound power, her Unique Arma Manifesting around her arms and legs, her Rings accepting the bodies of the bird-like Golems. She moved around, adapting to the difference from before as it now completely covered her forearms and forelegs, while being slightly more armored then before. Once done with it she Summoned her four Familiars but the result was quite different as before thanks to their new ¡°Coordination¡± Skill and the change in her own ¡°Familiar Summoning¡± Skill. Where before four different Familiars existed, now only one Collective Familiar was Summoned made of their temporary partial Fusion. Not only that but also their looks were quite different. Her new Armor looked like a skintight suit made out of what looked like black scales with purple highlights surrounding them, her long silver hair passing throught her helm, this last one being a perfect copy of her face except for the eyes shining like purple stars, three of them, two her own and an additional one on her forehead, with a pair of horns growing from between her hairs. From her back grew a pair of great wings, a strange fusion between Draconic and feathery ones, and a long tail ending in a snake¡¯s head, it too having shining purple eyes. And not only that but those eyes were present all over her body, granting her well above 360¡ã vision, while her claws digged in the ground and the claws of her hands cut in the air. Her Black Aura exploded around her thanks to her new Skill, before changing thanks to her Familiars¡¯ Summoning, becoming composed by both Fire- and Lightning-Attribute in addition with her own Vital Mana. She stepped casually to the left, noting the increase in speed derived from the Skill ¡°Acceleration¡± active at the moment from her Familiar and the effect this Skill had on her own Aura. This last one having in base higher power than her previous combination of [Greater Self] and [Mana-Clad Warrior], even without considering the Boosts from her Familiars. She neared a tree outside of the area where the battle had place and punched it, voluntarily missing it by over 5 centimeters, only for her Aura to still shatter it into pieces, these last ones being attacked by both Fire and Lightning simultaneously with her blow. Her curiosity was concentrated, however, on what the two groups were running from before uniting into the group that challenged her. Curiosity that she was more than willing to seek an answer to. - 9/15 5:17 (Summer, Day, Nord Lowrar) The battle between the Humanoid-form Phoenix, Amber, and the Humanoid-form Ice Dragon, Aurora, was at this point lasting by hours and approaching its end, even despite this first one¡¯s desperate attempts. Her Resurrection given her by the Innate Skill ¡°Undying Body¡± was already spent as she panted heavily, her right arm completely encased in ice. Ice that wouldn¡¯t melt even with her flames and heat but was instead biting deeply and painfully her arm even with the combination of her healing caused by ¡°Regeneration¡±, ¡°Undying Body¡± and her natural regeneration and her natural Resistance to Cold in general. Not only that but the bruises and scratches she sported were healing very slowly while her opponent, even if sporting burns and cuts, was standing there, furious but focused, an almost feral grin on her face as an armor of what looked to be ice covered her body together with the Barrier of her newly Gained Innate Skill ¡°Imperial Scale¡±, the only major injury Amber was able to deal her, a cut from left shoulder to the waist, already sealed shut by ice. And all of this progress was only possible because of the Awakening of her Unique Skill ¡°Bestower¡±, the ability to grant Names, and conseguently her Skills. Some may wonder at the usefullness of said Unique Skill but in truth it had immense potential as it shared all of her Skills at the same Rank as she possessed them and changed to fit the thing or Being that was Named, at a minuscule Initial Cost and no Cooldown. In other words, everything she was wearing was something she personally Bestowed a Name to, from her ¡°clothes¡± to her Ice Armor, her Ice Claws and even every single one of her Spells and Technique recieved a Name, vastly amplifying the Potency of every single one of them. As such, even Amber¡¯s strongest attack that she was able to refine slightly thanks to her experience with using it previously, found itself having to pass through three different Barriers and then two extra layers of Armor, one made out of Ice, and the other out of Aurora¡¯s own Scales, weakening the blow enough that the attack barely damaged her, especially considering her newly Gained ¡°Fire Resistance¡±. As Amber trembled because of the spikes of ice buried within her legs, Aurora started to walk towards her, leaving behind frozen footprints on the ground, as the ice grew slightly around her body. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Amber. I have no intention to kill you. I have a much better idea.¡± These threatening words were more than enough for Amber to guess her intent considering how she understood that the other forcefully Awakened her Unique Skill, thing that in a True Dragon rendered them even more similar to a False Dragon, only while maintaining all of their intelligence, power and sapience. And False Dragons had the terrible habitude to store their still living preys in blocks of ice to function as addition to their hoards. And considering how she was unable to melt it and how painfull it was, she was quite certain what her future woud be if she lost, an eternity as a frozen statue. Thing that was slightly wrong as Aurora didn¡¯t intend for her to be a pretty statue but was planning on forcefully rewriting her Name with her Unique Skill so that her enemy would become nothing more than her obbedient pet. All the same Amber refused either future with flames exploding from all over her body, Mana and Vital Energy becoming flames that formed a sphere before her, air distorting because of the heat concentrated into a miniature star that she launched at her opponent as a beam of concentrated flames. Hurriedly Aurora move to continuously create various walls of ice, each of them granted a Name by her, to stop this final attack. After a long ten minutes the attack finally ended, as Aurora moved back to the barely conscious Amber, ready to claim her as her own. In that instant she was distracted, her left arm, burned by this attack, was grabbed from behind her before she was thrown away, a punch exploded against her chest sending her away. The newly-arrived Person, the only Lunarian alive, quickly grabbed the Phoenix and retreated with her to safety. Status Total Magicules 74002 (V) Stored Magicules 90 Total Grade: X + V + V + V + V + IV + V + V + V + IV + IV + IV= LXI (61) Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k.

The final gain of Magicules is 100 plus the Magicules absorbed by the victim, all of it increased to 105%. #Soul_Harmony A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank times 5 every day. E=1; D=3; C=5; B=7; A=10. At the moment the Owner possesses, other than Soul Harmony: 8 E-Rank; 6 D-Rank Skills; 8 C-Rank Skills. Every day, then, the owner will gain 66 Magicules times 5, 330. #Unique_Arma #Singularity A process to automatically gain Magicules every day equal to the value of Unique Arma¡¯s and Singularity¡¯s Rank. E=100; D=300; C=500; B=700; A=1k At the moment Unique Arma is C-Rank and Singularity is at C-Rank and so, every day, the owner will gain 1000 Magicules. #Devouring_Evolution A process to automatically gain Magicules every day equal to the value of the Skill Grade times 100.

Chapter 30 9/15 21:14 (Summer, Night, Nord Lowrar) Luna gently settled the Humanoid Phoenix on the bed of her newly-formed refuge within a cave she personally excavated thanks to her Familiars, before hiding it thanks to Artifacts made previously by Edgar, the late Vampire. She carefully observed the very cute girl she just saved, noting how ice crystals were growing slowly all over her body while she seemed to be hibernating, thing that could happen when it comes to graveously injured Phoenix and Dragons. She neared her, cutting her palm and letting her Black Blood gently flowing from her new injury to the other¡¯s mouth, sneaking through her lips to feed her Vital Mana to help her heal from the damage. This, however, caused the blonde to frown even more at the smell of her blood that was very intense, overpowering all other smells in the room. Luna curiously felt it, her own Vital Mana being drained to the Phoenix before her from her blood. ¡°This is the Innate Skill ¡°Energy Siphon¡± of the Succubi, isn¡¯t it? But the drain is almost insignificant considering how I¡¯m not resisting at all and that I am at less than a meter away.¡± Luna nodded before nearing the Succubus-blooded Phoenix, leaning on her and, after biting her own tongue hard enough for her blood to flow from her new injury before gently kissing the other girl, letting both her blood and saliva flow down the Phoenix¡¯s throat. After all ¡°Energy Siphon¡± was more effective on saliva then on blood and this would let her increase the output of Vital Mana to heal her. As Vital Mana flowed into her, her temperature rose slightly trying to fight back against the ice within her body thanks to the support of the Lunarian. But this was far from enough, thing Luna quickly realized. With narrowed eyes, she Manifested her Unique Arma to increase the Quality of her Energy before her newest Skill, ¡°Unleash Aura¡± while suppressing all of its effect that would harm her while leaving active the Burning Effect as Phoenix naturally Gain ¡°Fire-Attribute Absorption¡±. The purpose of such was to both increase the external heat and the internal heat to melt down the ice, thing quite hard as it seemed to have various Resistances and it was slowly growing in size and coldness in time. In that case, it was time to experiment. Luna Summoned Ash within her Aura, it changing to a phantasmal image of a flaming bird with great wings, wings that quickly enveloped the two of them, Luna surrounding the other in a warm embrace, the ice¡¯s melting slightly faster. Meanwhile three of her Images appeared around her, becoming Familiar-Images. Vision-image carefully observed the process so that Luna would be able to increase the efficiency and efficacy of the it as much as possible while the other Images were simply training to maximize the effect of the Skill ¡°Coordination¡± and, as a consequence, accelerating the melting down of the ice and the healing of the patient while trying to wore down her Walls. Luna wasn¡¯t discouraged by the fact that she was barely on par with the progress of the ice but instead decided to continue this process without any hesitation as long as needed. A faster way to heal her would be for Luna to kill her and reform her new body out of her own Black Blood but that would render the Phoenix her newest Mate, thing she wouldn¡¯t do without some form of consent from the other or at least knowing the other¡¯s name. This process went on for hours and the day ended. *Luna Gained 330 + 1000 + 400 Magicules. Vision noted it first as expected, a clump of Vital Energy forming within the other¡¯s heart. The Resurrection of ¡°Undying Body¡± was active once more. Luna smiled as some of her blood within the other moved to her heart gently following her veins before, carefully and precisely, killing the Phoenix in her arms before the blood turned back into Vital Mana for her to absorb. As a conseguence, the Resurrection stored within the other¡¯s body was forcefully Activated, releasing a wave of Vital Energy and heat that rushed all over her body, damaging the ice and repairing some of the damage instantly while waking her up from her Hybernation. For an instant, the Succubus-blooded one attacked with an explosion of fire before stopping upon feeling the Vital Mana hard at work to both heal her and attack the ice. And so the orange-eyed one closed her eyes, her arms rising to embrace the red-eyed one and actively kissing her back. ¡°My name is Luna.¡± The low whisper preluded another intense kiss before the blonde briefly separated to respond. ¡°I¡¯m Amber.¡± The kiss restarted at full force. - 9/16 6:14 (Summer, Day, Nord Lowrar) Amber woke up only for her eyes to widen when they fell upon what she was seeing, jumping away from the arms embracing her and falling out of the bed and into the ground, trying and failing to look away from the rising red-eyed Person before her. This last one looked at her, amused by her reaction, as she stood up while stretching, blatantly showing off her body at the same time as she stood up. ¡°Amber, you can look. After all we did more than just look at each other.¡± The other¡¯s smile widened, showing her pointed fangs. Amber¡¯s face exploded in red as she hurriedly turned her back on the other young woman in the room. Thing that was a mistake as this was an opening Luna certaintly would not waste. Amber found herself being embraced from behind again, a soft yet sultry voice whispering in her ears. ¡°How cute, you are adorable when you are embarassed. I could just eat you up. Again.¡± This whisper was joined by Luna biting softly one of her ears, forcing a whelp from the blonde, that exploded into flames because of embarassement. At that the Vampiric Being exploded into soft laugher while holding the one currently on fire, her Aura-Ash protecting her from the undirected heat while her Image-Familiars returned to within her, their training done for now. ¡°Now, why don¡¯t you tell me about what¡¯s up with that Ice Dragon?¡± Amber breathed in and out, forcefully calming herself down, thing quite hard considering how her Succubus blood was flaring harshly, excited by both her current companion and the fact that this morning she subconsciously used ¡°Energy Siphon¡± for the first time in her whole life. ¡°Before that, can you tell me why you interfered in our battle?¡± ¡°Do I really need a reason to rescue a cute girl like you?¡± The flirt came out immediately and without much thought, causing the blonde to sigh, her desires and emotions already forcefully suppressed, thanks to her age. ¡°If it comes to fight a soon-to-be C-Rank Ice Dragon, yes.¡± Amber. ¡°Soon-to-be C-Rank? Wasn¡¯t she just at around 90% of her progress to that Rank?¡± Luna. ¡°Yes but now that she won against me, her Mental Block should have been surpassed completely and she will quickly advance. I give her a month at most to reach C-Rank.¡± Amber. ¡°Mental Block, eh? Could you explain a bit more about that?¡± This response from Luna caused Amber to recalculate the other¡¯s age and experience. ¡°It¡¯s different than the phenomenon where someone¡¯s will accelerates the Growth of a Being. Instead, the Growth of People is slowed or even fully stopped in certain cases because of emotional or psicological unstabilities and once they are surpassed, their Growth spikes suddently.¡± Amber. ¡°I see¡­ This is a new phenomen for me as I am too stable for my Growth to be influenced by such things.¡± Luna¡¯s exclamation full of confidence and pride was actually and factually correct. Even when she was Scarlet and she killed for the first time, the victims being her own parents, she never experienced such a thing and neither did she at any other point in time, even once her loss against Edgar¡¯s Master was a fact. And while her emotions do influence her Growth as shown by the fact her Images training is not as effective as fightning, it certainly was not a waste considering the Growth of her Familiars themselves and her newest Skill, ¡°Unleash Aura¡± that was still active even now as it had no actual Cost and her Parallel Processing negated the necessary Concentration. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Unleash Aura¡± Increased to D-Rank. *Familiar Vision¡¯s Skill ¡°Third Eye of Physicality¡± Increased to D-Rank. *Familiar Vision¡¯s Skill ¡°Projectile Fire¡± Increased to D-Rank. *Familiar Warden¡¯s Skill ¡°Physical Resistance¡± Increased to D-Rank. *Familiar Warden¡¯s Skill ¡°Metallic Body¡± Increased to D-Rank. *Familiar Ash Increased to D-Rank. *Familiar Ash¡¯s Skill ¡°Fire-Attribute Magecraft¡± Increased to C-Rank. *Familiar Ash¡¯s Skill ¡°Coordination¡± Increased to D-Rank. *Familiar Blitz¡¯s Skill ¡°Magnetic Amplification¡± Increased to D-Rank. *Familiar Blitz¡¯s Skill ¡°Lightning-Attribute Amplification¡± Increased to D-Rank. Amber nodded, her situation largely similar to the other¡¯s, before looking at Luna with narrowed eyes. ¡°Clear. However my answer doesn¡¯t change. I just saw a cute girl in trouble.¡± The tease worked, Amber¡¯s face became crimson again, especially when Luna pulled her back into her arms and then trapped between her and the bed, the other initiating another short kiss between the two of them. ¡°You intend to seek a re-match, correct? In that case I can help you.¡± The orange-haired one breathed deeply to calm down, thing quite hard considering how she was more than able to smell both the young naked woman pressing against her bare body and the activities the two of them had partaken in this same day. But she was after all part Demon and so she could, figuratively, smell that she needed to be very carefull of the fine prints in their deal. ¡°What do you offer me then for a price that will only seem to be reasonable.¡± At Amber¡¯s response Luna smiled eagerly before lowering her lips from near her own to barely brush against the Phoenix¡¯s neck. ¡°What I offer you is simple. I am aware you have the Innate Skill ¡°Energy Siphon¡± at E-Rank. I offer you my help for you to reach D-Rank in that Skill, causing your Evolution, a Growth Skill and all the informations and Energy you want until you are ready to fight your opponent.¡± This was way too good of an offer, especially considering how if she didn¡¯t hunt down and then beat Aurora fast, she would have no more chance too. Instinctively Luna was also careful not to wound the other¡¯s pride in offering direct assistance with the fight itself and successfully tempting the other. After all she herself observed the effect Growth Skills had on to the little ones¡¯ power. ¡°I wonder which of us is the real Demon here. Tell me what do you want in exchange.¡± Amber. Luna smiled, rightfully secure in her victory in the negotiation, before lowering herself to lightly bite the other¡¯s neck, carefull not to hurt her. ¡°Your blood. While you are learning and training under me, I want to drink your blood. Makes sense, doesn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Fine. I know it is a trap somehow but fine. I accept.¡± ¡°Before we start training in earnest could you tell me why you didn¡¯t want to increase or even use your Innate Skill?¡± Amber grimaced, closing her eyes, before sighing. ¡°Because of my mother.¡± Status Total Magicules 75732 (V) Stored Magicules 1820 Magicules a Day 340 + 1000 + 400 = 1740 Total Grade: X + V + V + V + V + IV + V + V + V + IV + IV + IV= LXI (61) Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k.

At C-Rank, the owner can also start the process of ¡°Annihilating Conversion¡± but is not able to be properly brought to completion, releasing instead a beam of Energy influenced by all the Skills of the owner by consuming all the Matter and Energy in the area, activated at no cost and only once every Month.

Chapter 31 9/16 7:06 (Summer, Day, Nord Lowrar) Amber breathed in deeply, being embraced from behind by the Lunarian with her head resting on the other¡¯s chest, before starting to properly explain. ¡°Well, I guess the fault I¡¯m not comfortable with ¡°Energy Siphon¡± and the Succubi blood within my veins is not entirely my mother¡¯s but all the same I give her most of the blame. Even with the fact that it seems like I am not that different. You should already know about this but when a Phoenix or a Dragon reaches C-Rank they automatically Awaken a Unique Skill.¡± ¡°Yeah, I know. It¡¯s a natural characteristic of both Phoenixes and Dragons like the fact that your maturity is dependent only on power and not on age itself with E-Rank being equivalent to a Human between 1 and 10 years old and D-Rank between 11 and 20 years old.¡± Luna confirmed while leaving behind some details like the fact that Lunarians have an Awakened Unique Skill right from creation. Yes, creation was the correct term when it comes to Lunarians. After all as a Race they are completely sterile, being even less alive than Undeads or normal corpses, and were previously automatically created by the Moon itself before Red and Blood Moons happened, a thing that was no longer possible now that no Lunarian was Active yet. Yes, this last phrase was correct. No Lunarian was Active at this time as a Lunarian can only exist once it reaches C-Rank and is able to forcibly and passively reach and maintain themselves into Reality on their own. ¡°Well, my mother had just recently reached C-Rank and let her pride get the better of her. Conseguently what would now be called a Party of Adventurers recieved a request to hunt her down because she burned down¡­ Well, I don¡¯t know what exactly she burned down but this ¡°Party¡± found her and she underestimated them, with her barely able to escape with her life through pure luck.¡± Amber relaxed within Luna¡¯s arms, this last one¡¯s Aura surrounding her warmly thanks to Ash being still Summoned within it. ¡°However she was still severely injured by this battle and so she decided that she needed to leave behind a child just in case she died. However reproduction for the Immortal Races is extremely difficult as you should already know yourself. In particular a child is conceived between two Phoenix only one time out of one hundred tentative. A more realistic option would have been the use of a Human as the other parent. ¡°However, while the chance are much higher to about one in ten, only one out of ten child would be a Phoenix while the rest would be a Human with an Innate Skill of a Phoenix. This was unacceptable for her to have a child with a shorter lifespan than the life she already lived. And so the option she chose was to summon a Demon, a Succubus more precisely, to mate with as one of their characteristics is an immense fertility capable to reproduce with anyone so long as both are willing, ignoring the question of gender and capable of choosing the Race of the child at will. ¡°If this was all that happened I would have no problem with my Innate Skill however the result of the process is that my mother became addicted to the feeling of, well, my other parent. To the point that she was exiled from Phorar considering all that she did to Summon her again and again and that she was completely submissive to her orders. ¡°I cannot trust myself when it comes to sexual relations whether I am the dominant or submissive partner. And now I am in the same situation as my mother despite all my efforts¡± Amber confessed, her eyes closed because of her mental pain. ¡°The same situation? Ah, yes, right.¡± Luna nodded to herself, her chin pressing against the blonde¡¯s crown while her hands caressed the other¡¯s thight teasingly. ¡°So are you giving up?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous. Just because I probably will lose, is no reason not to fight back against your temptation.¡± Luna exploded into laugher, a happy grin on her face with her fangs shining sligthly. Amber blushed even more as the feeling of the other¡¯s naked body against her own and the gentle and inviting sound she was making. ¡°How cute. I can¡¯t wait for you to be mine. Meanwhile, however¡­¡± Luna¡¯s hands moved suddently to underneath the other, turning her around and nearing their faces together. ¡°Why don¡¯t we train your ¡°Energy Siphon¡± until you Evolve?¡± This false question led to another make-out session in which Amber tried to use her Innate Skill willingly. Another half an hour passed this way before she finally reached D-Rank in it. As a conseguence Amber exploded into flame in her arms, flames that raged out of control before condensing back into a Humanoid shape, over and over again, until the now golden flames had a small black and purple core shining at its center and they condensed again into Amber, her pupils being a very light purple, same as some of the highlights in her hairs, her body slightly more curvy, a centimeter taller and, the greatest change, being a pair of horns made of solid purple flames upon her crown. ¡°So, how do you feel now?¡± Luna ceased the kiss only for Amber to push her to the bed, her hands on the other shoulders to make sure the other would stay under her before forcefully starting the kiss again. In response Luna rolled her eyes at this assault, her left hand gently but firmly exploring the other¡¯s back while the other rose up to feel the blonde¡¯s chest, allowing herself to be underneath her future Mate until she is emotionally stable. Not that she minded particularly, even when the orange-eyed one inserted her tongue in her mouth during their kiss, the action calmly allowed as the silver-haired one¡¯s Vital Mana was taken in by the other¡¯s not only through their saliva but her whole body only for it to be returned, in a continuous cycle that increased slightly their Potential until Amber was satisfied. ¡°I explicitly remember you telling me you would do your best to fight back against my advances, didn¡¯t you? What an impressive resolve¡­¡± The teasing words were met with Amber narrowing her eyes and biting on the tip of one of her ears in revenge. This was an error as she quickly found herself with her back pressed against a wall, her hands bound above her head with Black Blood and her neck being lightly but roughly bitten. Instantly she bursted into flames only to turn them off immediately upon meeting Luna¡¯s glowing eyes. The former red-head had two places of her body that functioned as triggers to cause an instinctive response, those being her neck as was common for all Vampiric Beings and her ears as was common for all Elfs and Half-Elfs. In this case Amber was safe only because of the fact the other was interested in her and she submitted immediately otherwise she would have died, right here and now. But fortunately Amber¡¯s instincts were good enough to save her without too much harm, a short-lived bruise on her neck, before Luna retook control from her instincts. ¡°Don¡¯t do that again.¡± This warning was unnecessary as the now Demon Phoenix already understood such without any further remainders. ¡°Meanwhile it¡¯s time for you to start training in full for your rematch. Don¡¯t bother making your new clothes, there is no need for them.¡± Luna, while being still naked, retreated the Bowl from her Ring before sitting down in the center of the room, offering one of her hands to Amber as an invitation to join. The blonde breathed deeply a couple of times before accepting this offer, sitting on her crossed legs, their hands joined together over the Bowl after a small sphere of Orichalcum. ¡°Don¡¯t resist now, okay?¡± The retoric question preceded the Lunarian¡¯s Black Blood cutting into her palm, invading her body and letting the blonde¡¯s blood flow from her body and into the Bowl. ¡°You need to use the ¡°Blazecrafting¡± Skill to send your Vital Energy and Mana to fuse with the Orichalcum. Don¡¯t worry about your Reserves, I will help you out.¡± This last phrase was followed by Luna joining together their lips, sharing with her Vital Mana for the entirety of the process. This was her method to quickly and efficiently complete the other¡¯s ¡°Unique Arma¡± by constantly fueling their Energy with each other, keeping both of them from being bored out of their mind by this process, training both of their Skills and increasing both of their Potential because of the caratteristics of the former Phoenix new Race and increased of both Potency and Rank of her ¡°Energy Siphon¡± Skill. Meanwhile the three available Familiars formed three Familiars-Image, Vision-Image carefully monitoring the process to guide the other to maximize Efficiency and the other two, Warden-Image and Blitz-Image, starting to read a book each while praticing with their Skills. - 9/17 9:26 (Summer, Day, Nord Lowrar) *Luna Gained 340 + 1000 + 400 Magicules. The Orichalcum finally finished transforming into Amber¡¯s Unique Arma and only then did the two of them separate from each other, the Black Blood within Amber quickly evaporing now that Luna was no longer maintaining it and Amber was no longer holding back from evaporing it. The blonde quickly ingested the sphere to obtain her own ¡°Unique Arma: Blazing Blade of the Piercer¡±, process accelerated to this point because of the increase in Efficiency of the Process and the fact that Luna was Healing and giving her Vital Mana all the while, immensely shortening it to just a little more than a full day. On the other hand the increase in Potential was still mostly irrelevant as it would take a month straight of intercourse to significantly increase it but was just a bonus for the long term and to increase the Efficiency of ¡°Energy Siphon¡± as much as possible. ¡°Let¡¯s train that new Skill of yours now¡± Luna opened the door of their hideout to show a True Sphere made to isolate and hide the inside from the outside, her Familiar-Images dissolving and her Familiar-Aura shutting off for the first time in almost a day and a half as it had no Cost, Cooldown or any restriction of the sorts. Instead her Unique Arma Manifested around her body. ¡°Let¡¯s see if I can¡¯t teach you how to properly use an Unique Arma and a sword at the same time.¡± This taunt was more than enough for Amber to join her, flames cladding her body and solidifying into clothes through her Innate Skill ¡°Blazecrafting¡±, her own Arma Manifesting in her left hand. A medium lenght curved blade more similar to the claw of a great bird of prey, the blade a dull red and a golden guard similar to wild flames with a rainbow gem at its center and a similarly golden hilt enveloped by red silk and ending in a small purple blade. Blade that was mirrored in her lover¡¯s hand by a True Blade to better teach her to combat. ¡°The training starts now.¡± Status Total Magicules 75732 (V) Stored Magicules 3560 Magicules a Day 340 + 1000 + 400 = 1740 Total Grade: (V + V) + V + V + V + V + IV + V + V + V + IV + IV + IV= LXI (61) Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity.

The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased resistance to all attributes and a natural resistance and vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database.

(V) A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any Attribute magic of any type. However magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any Attribute will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and Energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any Energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally limits on magical affinities, Energy Control and Conversion Efficiency will be nullified.

At D-Rank, all Sustain Costs are negated and the stability of any construct made of Energy is brought to the maximum. At C-Rank, the User¡¯s Energy is too dense for other¡¯s to interfere with it, upgrading¡¯s the owner¡¯s Status Resistance to Nullification. At C-Rank, the owner can also start the process of ¡°Annihilating Conversion¡± but is not able to be properly brought to completion, releasing instead a beam of Energy influenced by all the Skills of the owner by consuming all the Matter and Energy in the area, activated at no cost and only once every Month.

(V) This Skill denotes that the owner¡¯s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner¡¯s energy in general and both their growth speed and their potential.

Innate: Familiar Summoning C Magicules: 10k/10m (V) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with Summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise. In this case, the number of Maximum Familiar is negated because of the owner being a Lunarian, so long as all Familiars are made by the Lunarian Skill, even if they still require Vital Energy and Mana to be Summoned. Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. At D-Rank, the Familiars can increase in Rank when it comes to Skills, up to the Rank of this Skill [C-Rank].

Chapter 32 9/17 9:49 (Summer, Day, Nord Lowrar) Two identical swords clashed rapidly once, twice, thrice and then more in a single second, each being skillfully and precisely deflected by the one in Luna¡¯s hands. ¡°No, no, no. You leave too many openings with every single attack.¡± Luna¡¯s blade hooked on the other¡¯s, dragging it away and opening Amber up for the following swing, stopping just before this last one would be cut. ¡°Not only that but you are not using your Unique Arma properly. Unique Armas are indestructible and even if they could be broken they could be repaired at any time and at no cost. You should redirect all the force of my hits and deflections on the sword itself.¡± As Amber swung her blade, Luna demonstrated such by simply raising her left hand and taking the swing calmly on the back of the hand, her glove recieving no damage from it and Luna barely needing to make a step back to handle the knockback before stepping forward and slashing precisely at the guard to open the other to the following attack. Attack that Amber was barely able to block, being forced to retreat before entering in a pose for the second time ever in combat, flames condensing around her new sword. Luna, upon seeing the analysis from Vision, scowled. ¡°No, you are not understanding how to use a Unique Arma correctly.¡± Her blade vanished back as she moved in a more confortable position for punching the incoming attack. ¡°[Blazing Fang Slash]!¡± As Amber¡¯s attack, a long line of white flames that caused the air itself to superheat into plasma to increase its destructive power even further, approached Luna this last one made no move to dodge or even offset it, watching the incoming attack with a small but present scowl. ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there! Dodge it!¡± At seeing such, the shorter one panicked as this attack was made only with the purpouse of making the taller one move in a more advantagious position for her. ¡°Naive. Naive and inexperienced despite your age.¡± This solemn declaration was the thought that Luna had about most individuals belonging to long lived Races and their tendencies to train little and without the desperation that shorter living Races feel. And so this is a result, an imprecise and predictable attack that squandered an immense amount of Energy and whose only good point is that the other was a Phoenix and as such an increase in temperature was an advantage and nothing else. A waste of an attack made by someone that had no experience for the sweet taste of growth that shattering someone¡¯s own limitations was. A taste that Luna decided for the sake of her own pride, she would force the other to truly savour. The necessary action she then needed to undertake was simple. Amber watched horrified as her Sight was overwhelmed thanks to the heat and the light released by her attack before seeing a black spot, an absence of all heat, that exploded in a wave of force, instantly erasing all the flames she created. ¡°[Annhilation Point].¡± *Luna Converts the Ability Skills ¡°Unharmed Technique¡± C and ¡°Weapon Mastery¡± D into Ability Skill ¡°True Calamity Eterrnal Mastery¡± E. Luna nodded to herself once at the Skill she finally was able to reaquire, born when she was still Scarlet, the mark of someone approaching the top of B-Class, the ability to manifest someone¡¯s own Unique Skill into a combat style unique to them, however her expression was still grave once Amber met her eyes. She was not satisfied by the other¡¯s attack, at all, nor from her standing there, mystified by her attack¡¯s failure to even inconvenience her. But the most immediate thing right now was for Amber to understand the Durability of her own Arma. Amber found herself flying back because of the shockwave of Luna¡¯s attack she blocked by crossing both her arms and wings before her only for her flight to be stopped as this last one appeared behind her, grabbing her by one of her shoulder before with her other hand grabbing her blade hard. ¡°The way you use this Art is completely wrong. ¡°I suppose the way in which you used to do it originally was by first making a Sword through ¡°Blaze Forging¡±, Enhancing its Durability, Enhancing its Sharpness, Condensing your flames around it and finally swinging it, your usage of Energy in units should be around 10:30:20:20:20. This makes sense, I suppose, considering the Efficiency of Enhancing an Item varies depending on the Base. ¡°However¡­¡± This word was enough for Ember to stiffen considering the dangerous light within Luna¡¯s eyes. ¡°You maintained an use of Vital Energy and Mana equivalent to 0:34:22:22:22, thing that wasted an enormous quantity of Energy. ¡°You have no need to reinforce your Arma¡¯s Durability and so the optimal rate of Energy used should have been 0:0:25:35:40 for maximum amount of destructive power.¡± Quickly Luna took Amber¡¯s Arma from her and threw it lightly before moving in position. Her Vital Mana quickly surged around her together with her Aura, concentrating around her fist before she punched forward, all the force condensing in a single point. ¡°[Annhilation Point].¡± The Art was Casted again and now Amber could admire its profound and horrible might. At the moment of impact with her Arma, the Energy and force was Converted directly into pure destruction, a blast that Converted every Matter and Energy within its Range into rampaging Energy, as shown by the fact that even Heat Sight could no longer see any heat. Following such, a shockwave was released and she could finally observe, her eyes wide open, the reason for such a demonstration. Her Arma was sent flying away by the shockwave, sure, but was completely unharmed by the attack that would have without a doubt graviously injure, if not kill her outright. ¡°Do you understand now?¡± Luna. ¡°Yes. But how could you¡­¡± Amber. ¡°Hah, how inexperienced. What I did was manifest my Unique Skill into an Art. Oh, don¡¯t worry. I should be able and intend to force you to make your own even without an Awakened Unique Skill thanks to your Arma. Now take it back.¡± Amber made to move towards it only for Luna to move before her and stopping her, an eyebrow higher then the other as challenge and a stern expression on her face. Amber moved left and Luna did the same, barring her way again. Amber moved right and the scene repeated again and again, Luna blocking her way with a merciless attitude. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ear me? Take it back.¡± ¡°I see, so you want me to take it back by force, don¡¯t you?¡± Amber without hesitation attacked again as Luna neither agreed nor disagreed with it. Whether Amber understood what Luna really wanted her to do or not, didn¡¯t matter. If she realized she could recall her Arma at any time or she could force her way to it, Luna would be satisfied all the same. Amber and Edgar, the old Vampire, both of them were incapable of bringing the maximum combat potential out of their Armas, both because of inexperience as one was too new to actual fights to the death as a pratical immortal and the other a researcher at heart. The Demon Phoenix attacked, her flames forming claws around her hands, as Luna deflected each blow precisely before striking back with a furious flurry of slashes, each precise and deadly, forcibly creating opening in the other¡¯s guard and then ruthlessly targetting them. Amber quickly found herself retreating as cuts, deep and not, formed all over her body even with her clothes made out of solid flames before healing. All the same the reason only this much damage was inflicted was because the other stopped her blade at just that to force her to learn. Some Reincarnated individuals from more peaceful or at least less actively in a constant conflict may wonder at the harshness of the training but this was nothing special for the habitants of this World that were aiming to become high Class melee based fighters and, considering how the one recieving this training was a centuries old Demon Phoenix, most of the dedicated melee fighters of this World would find this training to be excessively gentle. After all Luna finds no particular joy in other¡¯s pain despite what it looks like, especially not in People she wants to be her own. Through a combination of ¡°Pyrokinesis¡± and ¡°Blaze Forging¡±, Amber made a copy of her own Arma to fight with, causing Luna to nod in acceptance. The battle restarted with Amber trying to first imitate and then adapt Luna¡¯s movements to her own body and abilities. ¡°You know, I had always a question in mind.¡± Amber. ¡°Hoh? There is no need for you to fear making any.¡± Luna. ¡°Very well.¡± The two blades collided again and again, Amber bettering her technique to the point that only light stratches formed briefly on her skin. ¡°In that case, I always wondered whether you are ¡°hot but psycho¡± or ¡°psycho but hot¡±.¡± This tentative to umbalance the other fell completely flat as Luna calmly assessed the question finding it to be a correct one to ask. ¡°Why don¡¯t you explain to me what you see as the distinction between the two options?¡± ¡°Well,¡± the swords crossed again, flames exploding from Amber¡¯s sword as she used her wings to quickly reposition herself above Luna and launching a thrust straight to Luna¡¯s head in a two pronged assault. ¡°The second adjective outshines the first, with as they say, either the psycho part overshadows the hot part or other wise.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Luna¡¯s sword clad in her Aura rose to cut in half the explosion before meeting the other¡¯s sword and cutting it in half too. ¡°The question is incorrect in the first place. The most correct definition is hot and psycho.¡± The half sword flying away quickly combusted in a mass of fire that rained on her while the other half held firmly in Amber¡¯s hand restored itself with a flash of ¡°Pyrokinesis¡±, her wings flapping slightly but with enough force to readjust her for a second precise swing. Luna without any hesitation dropped her blade from her right hand, took it with her left and swung, her Aura exploding before the fire, quickly creating an area free of any air to extinguish the fire ¡°[Vacuum Wall]¡± as the air was concentrated into a single point and exploded before Amber¡¯s eyes, leaving her completely undamaged thanks to ¡°Fire Absorption¡± but blinding her and so opening her up for a ruthless blow from the back of the other¡¯s blade. ¡°This is cheating!¡± Amber complained childishly at the unfairly powerfull Skill but Luna merely responded with laugher. ¡°You are right, I love this Skill, it renders using my Arts so much easier and manipulating or releasing it doesn¡¯t cost anything but concentration. But not to worry, I will make sure you will learn how to use it.¡± Luna attacked, her sword sending out a crescent made out of concentrated Aura, her latest Art invented right here and right now, [Reaping Moon]. Hurriedly Amber rose her blade only for it to be shattered by another projectile sent in advance to shatter it. She was weaponless and the incoming attack was too near for her to react as imbalanced as she was at the moment. Her hand closed around something that wasn¡¯t there before, an hilt, the hilt of her Arma that appeared out of nowhere cutting what was in all reality an extremely weakened version of the attack made only to scare her enough to summon her Blade. ¡°Do you undertand now? The Unique Arma is not an object, it¡¯s one of your Skills, a part of you made manifest. You don¡¯t need to worry about it being lost or stolen, you will always be able to recall it back to you. Now, let¡¯s continue where we left off.¡± Status Total Magicules 75732 (V) Stored Magicules 3560 Magicules a Day 305 + 1000 + 400 = 1705 Total Grade: (V + V) + V + V + V + V + IV + V + V + V + IV + IV + IV= LXI (61) Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner¡¯s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased Resistance to all attributes and a natural Resistance and Vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill.

(V) A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any Attribute magic of any type.

At D-Rank, all Sustain Costs are negated and the stability of any construct made of Energy is brought to the maximum. At C-Rank, the User¡¯s Energy is too dense for other¡¯s to interfere with it, upgrading¡¯s the owner¡¯s Status Resistance to Nullification. At C-Rank, the owner can also start the process of ¡°Annihilating Conversion¡± but is not able to be properly brought to completion, releasing instead a beam of Energy influenced by all the Skills of the owner by consuming all the Matter and Energy in the area, activated at no cost and only once every Month.

(V) This Skill denotes that the owner¡¯s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner¡¯s energy in general and both their growth speed and their potential.

Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. A person is considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether it is active or not. This is nothing but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient at Converting, Transfering and Amplifying Energy. Additionally, this Skill increases the Quantity and the Recovery of Energy of the owner, depending on the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. Manifested State: _At E-Rank this Skill increases the Existence of the owner and their Spells, Techniques and Crafting are Activated as if with extra Energy depending on this Skill¡¯s Rank. _At D-Rank the owner¡¯s Damage Resistance is increased and so is the Quality of all Energy of the owner. _At C-Rank it enhances the Existence of the owner further and it will be able to awaken by using the command ¡°Awaken!¡±. _This Skill manifests for the moment as two armored gloves covering a little beyond the owner¡¯s forearm and armor that covers the owner¡¯s feet and a little beyond their foreleg; principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist.

Innate: Familiar Summoning C Magicules: 10k/10m (V) This Skill denotes the ability of the owner to fight with Summoned Familiars, made with Mana or otherwise.

Additionally the growth of all Familiars is increased. At D-Rank, the Familiars can increase in Rank when it comes to Skills, up to the Rank of this Skill [C-Rank]. At C-Rank, the Familiars can increase in its own Rank, up to 1 Rank lower than this Skill¡¯s [D-Rank]. _Devouring Evolution: The owner of this Skill has the Effect as the Skill ¡°Coordination¡± D when it comes to the owner¡¯s Familiar. _Coordination D: __The owner is Linked to the ¡°Coordination Link¡±. __All those in the Coordination Link no longer interfere with each other while Casting. __All those in the Coordination Link have their Existence increased by 3%. __All those in the Coordination Link have their Energy Recovery increased by 3%.

This process is 1 hour long every 100 leters of Blood to convert them, with a 10% conversion efficiency, however with the combination of Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±, the time is instantaneous and the efficiency is of 100%, however this process still kills the victim without a doubt.

Chapter 33 9/17 10:12 (Summer, Day, Nord Lowrar) The blades met again and again, faster and faster, as Amber tried to copy Luna¡¯s movements while adding in her own attacks using her wings and claws made of flames with this last ones covering her Arma too. The silver-haired one smiled wider, both her blade and her body enveloped in her Aura as she carefully surrounded the other¡¯s flames deflecting them away from herself, using this as practice for her newest Innate Skill as this was only the third time she ever used it in combat, counting that time with the Living Golems and once when she was still Scarlet and recieved Support from her Azure¡¯s ¡°Blessing of the Spirits¡±. ¡°Try to imitate how I am using my Aura with your fire, Vital Energy and Mana, this Skill while different depending on the owner is shared between all Beings.¡± While Luna instructed Amber she manipulated her own Aura shaping it into additional blades following her own, severing the flames and forcing her to be carefull from all sides as the wrong dodge and she would be cut by what Luna now refered to as [Phantom Strikes]. Aura and flames met again and again as they both started to get used not only to their own abilities and weapons but also to each other, slowly starting to better the way they fought. Blades danced, fire and Aura covering the bodies of the two Higher Order Species, as the fight intensified more and more, cuts forming and rapidly healing on Amber¡¯s skin thanks to the Fire Attribute Luna¡¯s Aura was imbued with, thing this last one could have negated but didn¡¯t. ¡°Why do you insist I gain ¡°Unleash Aura¡± right now? I can see that it is a very powerful and versatile Skill but if I can aquire it all the same, why the hurry?¡± Amber asked, her blade thrusting to Luna¡¯s face from her right hand, her left hand releasing a blast of fire to the white haired one¡¯s chest while her left leg tried to sweep the Lunarians legs from underneath her. ¡°Very simple really. If you acquire it throught your own efforts it is an Innate Skill but if you acquire it when your Race Skill reaches A-Rank, it becomes an Ability Skill instead.¡± Luna calmly explained, her own blade deflecting the other¡¯s towards the other¡¯s left while moving to the other¡¯s right, dodging the strikes by passing to behind the blonde. ¡°I see, I understand.¡± Amber kicked behind her, flames exploding from it, flying away while forcing her opponent back, expanding the distance between the two and giving herself enough time to attack with a rain of fire. A Magic Circle formed before the flames, shining in all colors briefly before vanishing together with the flames just in time for Luna to cut the flaming slash in two. ¡°I told you my story but what about your own?¡± Amber asked, fire, Vital Energy and Mana slowly forming something like an Aura around her while various Blaze Arrows forming all around the two of them. ¡°Well, I don¡¯t mind telling you my story from a Person with parental issues to another.¡± ¡°Oh no, maybe I gave you the wrong impression but it¡¯s not like I particularly have or even dislike either of my parents. I talk with each of them at least once, often twice, a year.¡± Amber felt like precising her familiar situation while the flames fell on Luna. ¡°Really? Ah, okay.¡± A pout briefly formed on her pale face before she moved forward, her flames cutting the Arrows into pieces before she decided to explain regardless, her important memories from when she was still Scarlet fully regained by this point. ¡°Well, you see, I was born as a Human with the Innate Skill ¡°Spirit Body¡± and my Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± fully Awakened. Conseguently my parents were terrified of me and they took in a barely born young girl with the Innate Skill ¡°Blessing of the Spirits¡± and changed her to look more like me so they could control me. Once I grew beyond their means of control, I killed them both, took everything I cared about and left.¡± Almost scared to ask, Amber forced herself to anyway. ¡°What happened to your¡­ to the other one?¡± ¡°I took her with me, obviously. She was, is and always will be mine.¡± Even if at the moment she wasn¡¯t around her, Luna didn¡¯t find it hard to connect the Half-Elf in the ¡°Iriblades¡± with her Azure once she had enough of her previous self¡¯s memories or the fact she was searching her. Amber hesitated, wondering if she should ask her question, before deciding to bite the bullet as they said. ¡°Who were your parents?¡± Silence stretched on as Luna tried to remember before simply shrugging. ¡°I have no idea.¡± This was the truth as she quite simply forgot and then never recalled their faces, voices or names finding all of them irrelevant and unimportant. The training and the explanation then restarted in full, fire and Aura meeting in the middle of the battlefield in a wild battle. ¡°Well, continuing my explanation. I was turned into a Ghoul before I was able to become a Lunarian. Before you ask, a Lunarian is to an Ancestor what this last one is to a Vampire. That is our rapport as the Ancestors were created exclusively as the Lunarians¡¯¡­ Servants, you could say. ¡°Lunarians were made by the Moon with the intention to create its own perfect Vessel however it cannot naturally host life on its surface and so it created a vast internal Illusion in which the Lunarians were slowly made. Once a Lunarian reaches C-Rank, thing quite difficult within it, it is able to force itself on Reality passively, becoming real, and increasing the power of the Grand Illusion, accelerating the creation of new Lunarians. ¡°As such the mature ones moved to Gaea to take in Souls for the Moon throught either converting People into Ancestors or taking Souls, increasing the number of Lunarians that would be created and the speed of such creation. This caused a war between the abitants of this World and the abitants of the Moon, ending in this last ones complete extinction. ¡°Extintion that is still ongoing as some True Dragons and Phoenix decided to work together despite their rivalry, left Gaea to reach the Moon, become a single Race and, even now, are continuously killing every single Lunarian that Manifests on its surface.¡± This long explanation was said while Luna and Amber were continuously meeting blades, Aura and flames raging all in the Sphere. ¡°Ah. I¡­ Should I apologize?¡± Amber started to panic because of the informations. ¡°And how did they lose? I mean, considering how Vampires are enhanced while under a Red Moon and Lunarians are stronger than that, they should have been¡­ well, very strong, shouldn¡¯t they?¡± Fire roared out in an imitation of a Dragon¡¯s Breath Attack only to be casually dodged by Luna that responded with a blast of Vital Mana of her own. ¡°Yeah but I think you have quite a bit of a misunderstanding. First of all the total number of Lunarians that reached Gaea is only 666, 600 at A-Rank, 60 at D-Rank and 6 at C-Rank that gave rise to the Vampires. Not only that but at the time there were no Blood Moon or even a Red Moon as these phenomena were the manifestation of the Moon¡¯s hatred towards Gaea and all of its inhabitants. Finally the originals continents on this World were nine.¡± Amber flinched, well aware that only eight remained at this time and one of them was overrun by Monsters before she was even born. ¡°Ah, don¡¯t worry. No one responsable for it is even alive by this time on this Planet but I will, once I am strong enough, eradicate the ones on the Moon.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± To protect her own safety of mind, the Demonic one decided to no longer ask any potentially incriminating question like if the other wanted to continue the past Lunarians¡¯ plan, deciding to just deal with things as they happened. The training restarted in full. - 10/5 1:13 (Autumn, Day, Nord Lowrar) 19 Days. That was the time the two spend together between fighting, studying from Edgar¡¯s research and enjoying themselves in each other¡¯s arms while Luna comunicated with both of her Mates to offer informations and guidance. And the result spoke for themselves. *Luna Gained 33335 Total Magicules. *All of Luna¡¯s Familiars reached their Maximum Potential. *Luna¡¯s Growth Skill ¡°Devouring Evolution¡± E Strengthens. *Luna Gained the Ability Skills ¡°Bladesmithing¡±, ¡°Blacksmithing¡± and ¡°Oath Making¡± at E-Rank. *Luna¡¯s Skills: ¡°Parallel Processing¡± D,¡°Authority: Black Blood¡± E, A¡°High-Speed Processing¡± D, ¡°True Calamity Eternal Mastery¡± E, ¡°Presence Suppression¡± D, ¡°Crafting¡± E and ¡°Lunar Resistance¡± E; Increased in Rank. *Luna¡¯s Mate Mark with Mafel and Sabel Increased to D-Rank. *Amber Gained the Innate Skill ¡°Unleash Aura¡±, ¡°Enhancement: Fire¡± and ¡°Self-Enhancement: Heat¡±. *Amber¡¯s ¡°Unique Arma¡± E, ¡°Energy Siphon¡± D and ¡°Sword Technique¡± E Increased in Rank. *Amber¡¯s ¡°Sword Technique¡± D Increased in Rank again. *Various other Skills Ranked Up. The two of them were currently fighting but the battle was completely different from the first entirely. On one side of this conflict Amber and her even sharper Unique Arma was enveloped by a blazing Aura as flames constantly attacked the area around her together with various Techniques launched from both her blade and her body. Meanwhile, on the other side, Luna was clad in her Aura, it violently raging around her and being Shaped into constant attacks towards her opponent, destroying the flames and launching her own strikes at the same time, strikes that were also dealt with by her lover. Not only that but Amber already started to create her own Unique Style similar to Luna¡¯s own ¡°True Calamity Eternal Mastery¡± thanks to the influence and support of her own Unique Arma while Luna already fully mastered all the Arts she knew as Scarlet and thanks to her Aura they were much easier to use and train with. The area between the two was completely destroyed, leaving nothing behind, without the two needing to even move, their Auras rampaging freely before the two moved, attacks surpassing the speed of sound were launched as if with the greatest ease. This conflict lasted 10 minutes of constant attacks capable of rending steel as easily as paper before the two stopped, satisfied of their warm-up. After all, today was the day, Amber would deal with Aurora once and for all as they already knew where this last one formed her Hoard, a cave in a nearby mountain. There they easily found their target thanks to the fact that Amber was guiding the way, the newly Evolved C-Rank ¡°Ice Tyrant Dragon¡±, and her Hoard, a group of 90 Beings, 75 being a mix of corpses of People she killed and 15 Adventurers she was able to Overwrite into her own loyal worshipers. Aurora, now having reached full maturity as a True Dragon and Evolving into a more dangerous and destructive variant especially with other followers around, looked at the two of them, the obsession and desire for both evident in her heated gaze. The battle started without any conversation necessary.

Chapter 34 10/5 1:57 (Autumn, Day, Nord Lowrar) The battle started in full with neither side holding back at all. Instantly Amber turned back from her Humanoid form to her original one, her eyes made of orange flames with purple sphere shining in the center, her horns made out of solid purple flames attracting Aurora¡¯s attention for a second before this last one too returned back to her Dragon form too. A wave of heat and cold clashed in the middle of the two as Amber unleashed her Aura in full while Aurora enhanced her Territory, the cave and most of the mountain, with her Mana to rapidly cool down the area while her Dragonoids used their ¡°Elemental Manifestation¡± Innate Skill to launch forward spikes of ice clad in various Attributes. Said spikes were shattered by Luna as she sent forward five True Darts each seeking and piercing multiple targets before Amber released a wave of golden fire that became a rain of spears. In response a wall of ice appeared from nothing, blocking them and the following fiery explosions but this was far from enough as Luna used this attack as a distraction to launch her own attack. ¡°[Annihilation Point].¡± The ice shattered from the point of impact, black cracks expanding furiously on the ice, forming a hole big enough for Luna to boldly step in clad in her most combat effective form, a draconic armor presenting a vast pair of wings and a long tail, her Aura fully Unleashed around her, as she ruthlessly attacked one of the twenty three D-Ranked ¡°Frozen Corpses¡±, grabbing its head with one of her hand and punching through its chest, grabbing its heart and expanding her Aura within the other¡¯s body, erasing the other¡¯s upper body, shattering the skull within her hand before forcibly draining her target of all its blood thanks to her Aura to then rip its Soul from its former body and . *Luna Gained 100+7 Magicules. *Familiar ¡®Warden¡¯ Gains the Skill ¡°Cold Immunity¡± E-Rank. The deadly cold previously being Resisted by Luna with the continuous use of a minuscule amount of Vital Mana, was now insignificant as her Aura alone would now negate it even without the manifestation of her Familiar as an Armor. Suddently ice rose around her trying to cage her but her response was as simple as it was direct. Luna simply released her Aura in a wider range than normal thanks to an effort of will, the ice¡¯s growth being slowed before she accumulated electricity and fire around the tip of her tail that opened wide in a mouth, releasing a condensed beam towards a group of E-Rank ¡°Frozen Corpses¡±, bisecting 15 of them instantly and exploding into flames that completely charred the bodies, their Souls being sucked into Luna¡¯s body. *Luna Gained 100+7 Magicules. *Luna Gained 100+7 Magicules. *Luna Creates a New Familiar ¡°Spirit¡± E with the Skills ¡°Undying Body¡± E and ¡°Coordination¡± E. *Luna Gained 7 Magicules time 13. *Luna¡¯s Skill ¡°Lunar Resistance¡± and ¡°Regeneration¡± Skills Expand because of ¡°Devouring Evolution¡± Enraged at the loss of part of her Hoard and full of desire to acquire her in recompense, Aurora tried to attack Luna only to be intercepted by Amber that released a beam of fire concentrated to the point of being solid, sending the True Dragon crashing through the back of the mountain, creating a new entrance to the cave. As the Dragonoid made to follow their Master, Luna appeared between them, a large quantity of Vital Mana and Black Blood to create 5 of her True Images. ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I promised my Mate that their battle will be a one-on-one.¡± Ignoring how Amber didn¡¯t explicitly ask or accept to be her Mate yet, ten large Magical Circles formed above her, releasing ten great beams of Vital Mana to push them back and away as ferocious roars sounded in the distance. ¡°Why don¡¯t you all keep me company for a while.¡± Her Images ran in underneath the falling lasers buying Luna enough time to Summon her newest Familiar within her Armor too, forming armor similar to bones around her forearms, forelegs and her chest. Luna herself quickly stepped forward, the Aura around her exploding into long and sharp tendrils piercing four more ¡°Frozen Corpses¡± and forcefully rip their Souls, running forward to grab one of the two C-Ranked ¡°Frozen Corpses¡± and decapicating it without any hesitation by concentrating her Aura in a minuscule yet sharp blade before crushing simultaneously its head and its heart and lungs. *Luna Gained 7 Magicules time 5. She needed to eliminate as many and as high a Rank ¡°Frozen Corpses¡± as quickly as possible or otherwise she would lose once her Images were no longer capable of holding back the C-Ranked ¡°Dragonoids¡±. Quickly she launched herself to one of the D-Ranked ¡°Dragonoids¡± in what would be called a dropkick, sending them both to the ground before she flared her Aura to the maximum before compressing it down to a point briefly. The following explosion shattered the remaining E-Ranked Frozen Corpses and the D-Ranked Dragonoid she previously attacked, Luna hungrily Devouring most of the suddently free Souls. *Luna Gained 7 Magicules time 30. *Luna Gained 100 + 7 Magicules time 2. *Luna Creates a New Familiar ¡°Core¡± E with the Skills ¡°Dragon Heart¡± E and ¡°Coordination¡± E. The result of this Familiar¡¯s existence and Summoning were simple really, her horns, eyes and claws of her skin-tight armor started to shine in a bright white light, acting as additional foci for Luna¡¯s Energy. Her Aura rampaged again around her as she prepared to deal with the others as two of her Images dissolved, causing Luna to click her tongue at the waste of both Vital Mana and Black Blood as she made two new ones and send them back towards the C-Rank Dragonoids that were able to kill them. Without any further waiting she ran forward, her Aura preceding her body as it washed over the D-Rank Frozen Corpses, smashing them to the ground, before they were crushed into paste by a second violent explosion of power as blood flowed within her mouth. *Luna Gained 7 Magicules time 22. *Luna¡¯s Skill ¡°Devouring Evolution¡± Increases to D-Rank. An hungry smile on her face, Luna turned to the rest of her next meals, her Aura changing to match her own true and basic nature, immense claws and fangs crushing the ice and the ground around her, reduciding it first into dust and then into nothing at all, growing furiously again and again. The reason for such was the immense amount of Potential she just acquired by devouring this immense amount of Magicules. Immediately her Images moved to end the fight as soon as possible as her facade of strenght and invincibility was just that, considering how an immense quantity of Black Blood was consumed in the creation of her Images, Armor and various Shapes while more than 40% of her Vital Mana was spent to amplify the damage she inflicted and various other miscellaneous expenses. Fortunately, however, her Aura was not linked to her Energy Quantity but merely Luna¡¯s willpower, thing that she had in such an abundance as demonstrated by the monstrous feat that was her ability to keep it active even while sleeping or endaging in an intercourse. And as shown by the following ridiculous feat. Immediately Luna¡¯s Aura erupted not only from her body but also from all of her Images, fueled by the Lunarian¡¯s willpower alone. Suddently the Aura formed a sphere based on her experience making True Spheres to isolate her meals, assuring they would not be able to escape her to support their master. The temperature in the frozen cave slowly started to increase as electricity started to fill the air but the most important and threatening thing was that her Aura was continuously Draining blood from all living being there with the implicit threat of instantly killing them once the last drop was taken by ripping their Souls from their bodies while at the same time turning the blood into more Energy for Luna. Immediately one of the Dragonoids tried to escape by using the original entrance to support his Master only to be stopped by the Barrier of her Aura in a bastardization of a Territory Skill based on her fight with the Earth Drake in the past. Luna launched a brief look back at the fight between her future Mate and her future meal in Humanoid form, before concentrating on her own fight with a feral grin, well aware that thanks to the Innate Skill ¡°Hoard Creation¡± and the Racial Skill of ¡°Ice Tyrant Dragon¡± each Dragonoid was part of her Hoard and this last one could absorb power from them if they are alive. As a conseguence, if she wanted to help her Amber while keeping her pride safe and sound, she needed to kill the True Dragon¡¯s Hoard as soon as possible to make sure they will not support her Phoenix¡¯s adversary. - Meanwhile, Aurora and Amber in Humanoid form prepared to fight. The first one changed from their last meetings, aging to being in her early twenties, a beautifull yet threatening armored dress made out of dense blue and white ice, her Mana raging around her. The second too changed. While her age increased to almost her twenties, the most prevalent changes were the purple pupils and the flaming purple horns utop her crown escaping from her golden mane while her equally golden clothes presented deep purple contrasts all over while wielding a long curved sword clad in purple flames with a small layer of golden ones immediately around it. No words were exchanged as Aurora¡¯s ability to think rationally was considerably weakened after her sudden Evolution in an Ice Dragon variant especially with her instincts demaniding she force the one before her and the owner of that beautiful Soul into submission and she had no intention to fight this instinct while Amber had nothing to say to her enemy. Immediately the battle between the two centuries old rival started, a long burning blade meeting a claw of ice.

Chapter 35 (Amber vs Aurora) A blade wrethed in a tornado of golden and purple flames rapidly met a pair of great claws made of ice again and again, the area around the two rapidly cooling and heating again and again while the area directly near the two was completely destroyed by the immense heat and cold, without speaking of the shockwaves released by each collision between the two. While what was once Aurora was without a doubt vastly superior in all physical matters, Amber was without vastly superior when it comes to ability in combat thanks to that merciless and forcefull Luna¡¯s training, forcing her to behave in a similar timescale to a Human¡¯s. In the first place even with her much greater skill, Aurora could only fight back effectively because at the moment of impact between the two she released her Aura to match the other¡¯s strenght for just an instant as differently from her white-haired companion, she wasn¡¯t able to manifest her Aura for an illimited time but needed some time to recover and feared that if she kept it active for a long time, there was a chance the Dragon would start to imitate her and earn this Skill. Flames followed every single one of her strike and thanks to her C-Rank in ¡°Energy Siphon¡± each of them absorbing both Vital Energy and Mana from her opponent to their maker, attacking and destroying the ice ignoring their unnaturally high Resistances by simply absorbing the Energy within them and shattering them this way instead. All excess Energy beyond what she could safely store were instantly converted into flaming explosions to try and weaken the other¡¯s barriers caused by the Innate Skill ¡°Imperial Scale¡± without significant progress as Aurora¡¯s natural Energy Recovery was immense, offsetting both the damage and Drain. Yet Amber lost no hope nor determination, focusedly continuing the battle, deflecting the other¡¯s direct strike to deflect the immense force of each devastating blow. ¡®This amount of force...How many Magicules did she absorb, one million? No, at least ten millions. How? Ah, she must have taken it from her Hoard.¡¯ This thought led the way to the one she tried to suppress from when she first saw said Hoard. ¡®Is that what she was trying to do to me? Impossible, a Phoenix cannot be turned into a Dragonoid. No, don¡¯t think about it. Concentrate on the fight!¡¯ Amber¡¯s rising fear and anger led to ever more savages assaults, her Energy starting to heat up because of her emotions as her Unique Arma was masterfully swung to maximize the damage to the barrier. Suddently Amber punched forward in her own rough and incomplete version of Luna¡¯s Art [Annihilation Point], golden flames with purple streaks and Aura condensing around her now shining fist causing the area around it to distort because of the heat. ¡°[Melting Point]!¡± An explosion of heat sent the Tyrant flying back, her barrier caused by her Innate Skill ¡°Imperial Scale¡± shattered and slight wear on various parts of her armored dress, the ground around Amber completely melted down into lava. Amber clicked her tongue at the little damage she inflicted but the amount of Vital Energy and Mana she forcefully stole, thanks to the combination of her ¡°Energy Siphon¡± that at C-Rank allowed her to take in Energy through her flames and the influence this Skill had on her ¡°Unleashed Aura¡±, from her enemy was the more significant thing. The fact so little damage was inflicted was because of the protection derived by the combination of her natural Resistances, her Innate ¡°Imperial Scale¡±, her Ability ¡°Fire Resistance¡± and the influence this Skills had on her dress thanks to her Unique Skill ¡°Bestower¡±. Before Amber could launch the following attack, she found herself jumping left, dodging a rain of ice spikes launched by the rising Dragon that started to breath deeply before launching a large ¡°Elemental Roar¡±, a two-meters tall beam of concentrated Mana at a terribly low temperature. Hurriedly the flames generated by the other¡¯s Energy and her own Aura roared up around Amber before concentrating around her Arma, both of her hands firmly grasping her weapon¡¯s hilt. Said Arma¡¯s higher Rank changed only the quality of the weapon as her Unique Skill was still dormient. All the same, her now shining blade of her Sword violently rose in a new version of her previous special attack. ¡°[Burning Flash]!¡± A line of golden light reached from the ground to high up in the sky, severing the beam into two. Amber breathed deeply a couple of times, two long lines of frozen ground except for immediately around her. She stepped forward heavily, her blade swinging back down to meet the other¡¯s assault, flames bursting from her back to erase the ice spikes falling from above before Aurora opened her mouth, cold light accumulating within her mouth. The blonde widened her eyes, her Aura violently burst from her body as she forcefully jumped over the blue-haired one before thrusting down in a second [Burning Flash], a piercing light that forced Aurora to jump away. As the orange and purple eyed one made to follow up, she stopped suddently when she met the other¡¯s red eyes, more specifically the rationality that returned within said blinking eyes. ¡°Hello again, Aurora. This time I am not sparing you. I will kill you.¡± Amber calmly affirmed, flames rising along with her temper. Along with that, came the simultaneous and full of desire answer from the True Dragon. ¡°Do not worry, you and your companion are too fascinating to kill. I will make you mine!¡± Ice savagely rose to meet with golden and purple flames as the two ran in to restart their final battle. (Luna vs Aurora¡¯s Hoard) Luna observed her targets, her expression composed and calm, her slightly slitted eyes narrowed in deadly focus. An error and she could die. All the same a feral grin slowly formed upon her face, the Aura Sphere around them pulsing slowly as she stepped forward. ¡°[Awaken]!¡± Underneath her True Familiar-Armor, her manifested Unique Arma changed, turning into a strange mix of Energy and Matter whose composition she was not really fully aware of yet. She stepped forward hard, creating an inprint on the ground, before launching herself forward, releasing a wave of fire and electricity to destroy the ice spikes falling from the sky enveloped in various Attributes, her left hand clenching hard before she punched one of the D-Rank Dragonoid with an Art she created during these last 15 days based on both her previous battle with the D-Ranked Earth Drake and what her Amber¡¯s Unique Skill will be in the near future. ¡°[Collapse].¡± The calm command resounded in the Aura Sphere as she punched forward against the Dragonoid¡¯s chest. For a second nothing happened to the surprise of all present individuals except Luna herself, even the one just struck. Yet this hesitation lasted only a second for a reason as Luna lightly pushed forward with her left fist, causing shining cracks to spread upon all over the Dragonoid¡¯s body before this last one fell to the ground, blood exploding from its mouth and various other orifices, the previous attack causing so much internal damage that a light push was enough to destroy all of her organs at once. Yes, all of the Dragonoids were mostly beautiful women of various ages, chosen both for their power and to follow Aurora¡¯s tastes. Luna quickly drew in both the blood and Soul before turning to the incoming ¡°Breath Attack¡± from three different Dragonoids. *Luna Gains 100 + 7 Magicules. *Luna¡¯s Familiar Core Gains the Skill ¡°Breath Attack¡± E. She didn¡¯t hesitate, the face-plating of her armor opening breathing deeply once before opening her mouth, rainbow light being emanated shortly before a savage wave of destruction with similar proprierties to the result of both her [Annihilating Conversion] and her Spell [Roaring Destruction], a destructive ray that met incoming [Breath Attacks], causing an explosion that sent all the individuals within the zone flying away, the Lunarian included. ¡°This Skill is really fascinating, especially considering how it changes from user to user.¡± Luna¡¯s opened and closed her hands a couple of times before stopping mid-air, her Armor¡¯s Wings opening wide, as she sent forward a rain of fire arrows before various Magic Circles formed around her, sending forward various lasers to harry her meals, her tongue subconsciously licking her lips, as her narrowed eyes focused on the only remaining ¡°Frozen Corpse¡±. In an instant, a second ¡°Breath Attack¡± was ruthlessly launched forward, this time not a wave but a concentrated beam, only to be stopped by a wall of ice made of the collective efforts of the last remaining Frozen Corpse and the Dragonoids borrowing the power of their master to reinforce said ice wall with their own Affinities. This clash continued for five whole seconds before the beam finally petered out with a last explosion, finally shattering the wall and sending forward some ice shard as Luna jumped, landing on the roof of the cave to then launching herself at one of the Dragonoids D, only to suddently open her wings and stopping as she blocked the assault of one of the four C-Ranked Dragonoids, the impact sending the Lunarian flying back despite her crossed hands, grabbing onto the wall before she sent back a rain of True Arrows. ¡°Show me what the power you borrowed from that oversized lizard is like, you slaves!¡± The challenging phrase of Luna incensed the other¡¯s rage further. ¡°How dare you-! How dare you call our glorious Master-! Die!¡± The leader of the Dragonoids, a beautiful blonde former Human, exclaimed enraged, flames burning from her throat. ¡°Yes. Just like that.¡± Luna murmured to herself, a wild light in her eyes.

Chapter 36 (Amber vs Aurora) A block of ice violently rose from the ground, blocking some of the fire for long enough for Aurora to use it as a ramp to jump over the wave of fire before it shattered under the continued assault. The airborn Dragon opened her wings wide before launching upward, cold trailing behind her before it formed into a cold mist that fell down into long sharp branches that fell upon Amber. This last one didn¡¯t hesitate, releasing a burst of flames to dodge most of the branches, cutting the remaining ones while sending back her own flames in response. Amber was very thankful she accepted the training of her Innate Skill ¡°Energy Siphon¡± with Luna as it Ranking Up would increase not only the amount of Energy Absorbed but also the methods she had available to Absorb Energy with. At E-Rank, in order of Efficiency of the Absorption, three ways are present, from sexual fluids to saliva to blood; At D-Rank, with the same order, the ways are from sexual fluids, saliva, blood and, finally, contact between naked skin or equivalents; At C-Rank, her own hard-earned Rank, the ways would be from sexual fluids, saliva, blood, naked contact to the most important for her way of fighting, Energy could be drained from the direct effect of other Skills. Normally this would allow a Demon of Lust to drain Energy from everyone under the effects of either ¡°Charming Gaze¡± or ¡°Charming Presence¡±, but in her case she was able to use the Skill through the flames generated by her ¡°Pyrokinesis¡± Innate Skill, increasing significantly her combat prowess. More Energy was accumulated around Amber in the forms of violent flames before they condensed into a dense cloak surrounding her, ready to be unleashed at any moment. Aurora fell down in a dive, transparent ice forming before her in a mix of armor and spearhead to increase the power of the attack. Immediately the Demon-blooded one sent forward a wave of fire while jumping away from there, her mantle flaring slightly with the incoming rush of Vital Energy and Mana, starting to slowly mix them together into Vital Mana taking advantage of the immense quantity of Energy she was constantly Absorbing from her enemy to keep herself full while, even if inefficiently, starting to store the fused Energy deep within for the future. Meanwhile, in the present, she unleashed her ¡°Pyrokinesis¡± Skill in full to generate flames that she then used her ¡°Blaze Forging¡± to make into Arrows; Arrows that were strengthened, similarly to the Skill ¡°Mana Forging¡± Luna previously possessed, depending exclusively on the heat of the flame involved in this process. The result was an increase of the power of her constructs as demostrated by the fact her Arrows were still able to pierce and shatter the vastly sturdier ice that rose from the point of impact between the diving True Dragon and the ground. As a conseguence, the explosion released by the Arrows were able to shatter the ice spikes that started to rapidly grow from the ground around Aurora. This last one opened her mouth, a flash of Cold Mana being released in an instant showing the difference between a True Dragon¡¯s ¡°Elemental Roar¡± and a lesser Draconic Species like the Dragonoids for example, People that worshiped True Dragons until they changed, ¡°Breath Attack¡±, without considering its power alone is the ability to change its characteristics at will. As such the wave of Cold was almost instantaneous, barely giving Amber enough time to release a wave of fire to mitigate the incoming Damage. Aurora admired the result of her attack, a frozen iceberg containing a frozen Amber, still in a defensive pose. However she did not let down her guard and as such was not surprised when the blonde broke out of the ice in a blaze of glory, some small ice spikes shortly imbeded in her body before they q uickly sublimated even with Aurora¡¯s Resistance Skills. ¡°How scary, tell me how did you become so strong without Ranking Up?¡± This question may have seemed to be honest or impressed but the truth was quite different. This question was simply and directly made to mock and deride the other, knowing full well that this progress would not be natural to the other, especially without the Awakening of a Unique Skill. The area around the Ice-Related one rapidly cooled in temperature, rime and ice spreading to cover an ever-increasing zone, her ¡°Soul Sight¡± carefully monitoring the other¡¯s Soul for any threatening movements. Amber merely smiled, her eyes almost literally shining with desire to kill, before the flames around her condensed into a single point that started to float high in the sky, a version of the ¡°Spell¡± she Casted in their second-to-last fight improved thanks to both Luna¡¯s support and research made from the old Vampire. ¡°You are wrong, it¡¯s all thanks to my own efforts guided by my Luna.¡± She was refering to the fact Luna forced her to operate on the same timescale as Humans, thing quite different than her own original sense of time, that allowed her to train harder than ever before. As such, her new Spell was vastly greater in both Efficiency and Potency, adding in influence from her demonic side to further magnify the destructive Potency of all Fire-Related Events. ¡°[Hellish Sun]!¡± Light, warm and golden and purple, glowed upon the zone, the ice¡¯s spread slowing significantly. Before the two could continue their final battle, they were interrupted. The two immediately looked to the True Dragon¡¯s former mountain to see a terrifying spectacle. Luna¡¯s Aura that formed a cage to entrap all of the blue-haired one¡¯s Hoard expanded to cover the entirety of the upper half before becoming a black so deep that it looked like an hole in the World. This lasted less than ten milliseconds as Luna failed to properly Control this Spell? It raged, passing from none to all colors and light, becoming a storm of destruction that annihilated the entire mountain in a single instant, producing a strong enough shockwave that it reached even the two of them, various trees and the ground in the way shattering into dust because of the force. In response the ice suddently concentrated, forming a wall vaguely in the shape of a dome before her while lowering down to the ground, her Armor thickening around her as she flared her Mana to protect herself. Meanwhile Amber jumped away from the¡­ explosion, her wings opening wide as instead of fighting it, she flowed with the wind, being able to outlast it with no particular use of Vital Energy or Mana while Aurora was forced to spend a considerable amount of Energy to stand the wave of force unharmed. As the red-eyed one rose from the ground, the orange-eyed one interposed herself between her enemy and her lover, having no problem in believing the other would win. Even then, the True Dragon¡¯s eyes were concentrated beyond her, admiring and desiring the Soul shining brightly in the distance ever more as it changed, shattering her chains and becoming ever closer to shattering the Wall before her. Even so both of them were surprised that the mountain was indeed destroyed. Some may wonder about this surprise but the truth was that this World, Gaea, was overlapping with the five Elemental Planes in various places, one of which was everywhere enough of an element appeared like for example a mountain overlapped enough with the Elemental Plane of Earth to passively increase its sturdiness and defensive ability in general the bigger the source of the connection with it being further enhanced by Aurora¡¯s Mana naturally bleeding into the cave. The two concentrated fully on the battle between them, exchanging blow after blow until three whole minutes later, the area around them left barren and destroyed completely by their clashes, the Aura around Aurora changed, solidifying into a more active one without a need for Mana, causing Amber to click her tongue while fully manifesting her own Aura. The True Dragon had gained the Innate Skill ¡°Unleash Aura¡± by observing both the way the Phoenix fought and the massive attack Luna previously used from a distance. (Luna vs Aurora¡¯s Hoard) A little before, the being that will soon become a full-fletched Lunarian was in quite a bit of a spot. While Frozen Corpses did possess the ¡°Coordination¡± Skill naturally, they were naturally even less intelligent than normal Ghouls but the Dragonoids were all People and now they decided to put aside their constant conflict to be their idol¡¯s favorite in exchange to subdue their idol¡¯s target. As such Luna found herself in quite a bit of trouble as they were starting to roughly copy the way she used her Aura with their own Mana. She nodded to herself before trying something for the first time, activating for the second time of this life [Annihilating Conversion], manually and forcibly spreading it¡¯s effect not in a small sphere around her but instead to the entirety of her Aura. However she wasn¡¯t able to control it, everything without a Soul in the range was simply turned into Energy that ran rampant, destroying the entire mountain. *Luna Gains 7 Magicules times 7. *Luna Gains 100 + 7 Magicules times 3. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Authority: Vital Mana¡± D Expands because of the Growth Skill ¡°Devouring Evolution¡±. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°Artifact Proficiency¡± E Rank-Up. *Vision Gains the Skill ¡°Soul Sight¡± E. *Core Gains the Skills ¡°Draconic Affinity¡± E and ¡°Elemental Manifestation¡± E. Luna stretched, her eyes focusing on the four survivors of her latest mistake, the four C-Ranked Dragonoids, while calculating where precisely she went wrong as she breathed deeply, the time until Gaea would be able to Dispell her first lowered and then elongated to around three and a half months. Various different Spells were immediately Casted at her from two of them while the other¡¯s immediately jumped at her, clad in an approximation of her own Aura. Status Total Magicules 110570 Total Grade VI Stored Magicules 2397 Magicules a Day 390 + 1000 + 500 = 1890 Final Grade: (VI + VI) + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V= LXVII (67) Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, and the owner¡¯s body will find it easy to store and use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased Resistance to all attributes and a natural Resistance and Vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill. Also at D-Rank you can now use Vital Energy to control your own Blood and Mana to control and shape shadows. Unique: Singularity C Magicules: 10k/10m. (V) A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any Attribute magic of any type. However magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any Attribute will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and Energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any Energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally limits on magical affinities, Energy Control and Conversion Efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at E-Rank will be that the increases in an Attribute affinity will, instead, increases non-elemental affinity.

Chapter 37 (Luna vs Aurora¡¯s Hoard) Luna unleashed her Aura at full power yet again, her Images, Sphere and Familiars Dispelled by the previous explosion to the point that she could no longer Summon them for a while and similarly she could no longer Awaken her Unique Arma for the rest of the day. As spikes of stone made to rose from the ground underneath Luna, she stomped lightly, releasing a wave of Aura that disrupped the Mana within it, stopping the attack before it could even really be launched. Her Aura further expanded, creating a vacuum to extinguish the fireballs sent by the other Casting Dragonoid, before concentrating it in a dense layer around her body, forming a thin suit of armor around her, with an undersuit made out of her Black Blood, and two long vaguely blade-shaped rods, both of them formed out of concentrated iridescent Energy and held within her Manifested Unique Arma. Energy that she found quite conforting as this was not the first time she used as when she activated the C-Rank ability of her former self¡¯s ¡°Spirit Body¡±, her body would be completely Converted in a fully material Spirit made entirety of this Energy. She casually started to walk forward, her blades digging twin trenches in the ground from when she was dragging them while her feet left behind visible footsteps burnt in the ground. As she walked forward, one of the two Dragonoids, the only male of the four remaining ones, ran in, a pair of hand-held axes made out of ice enveloped in two different Attributes, his left clad in Water-Attribute while his right clad in Dark-Attribute thanks to the Skill ¡°Elemental Manifestation¡± borrowing the Element of his Master. Luna swung mercilessly with her left blade, it and the other¡¯s axe meeting, releasing a wave of force released in the area around the two, long cracks forming from both the Lunarian¡¯s feet and from around the point of contact of the weapons. While the coat of Water-Attribute helped to deflect most of the damage caused by the contact with the other¡¯s weapon however¡­ Luna¡¯s Aura was influenced by both her own and her Familiars¡¯ Skill, being made out of the same destructive Energy released during the previous loss of control, for now Shaped precisely. As such, the Dragonoid¡¯s weapon was inexorably digging into it without any problem, forcing the Dragon-Blessed one to drop it before his wrist was cut too, his second axe rising from low dodged casually by Luna moving to the Dragonoid¡¯s left to dodge the Dark-Attribute one before swinging with her right blade, forming a long cut on her target¡¯s back however she was forced to jump away before she could stab the other¡¯s heart to dodge the punch enveloped by wind of the other melee-focused Dragonoid. A wall of frozen ground suddently rose from behind her mid-flight trying in vain to stun the material illusion as she rolled in mid-air, landing on it and Shaping her Aura Weapons into a Bow and Arrow she nocked and launched. A wave of destruction was released in an instant, a miniaturized, weaker yet free version of her Spell [Roaring Destruction] that blasted both of the melee-focused Dragonoids away while damaging them and draining both their Vital Energy and Mana even with a wall of Earth raised hastily by one of the Casting Dragonoids while the other sent forward multiple lightning bolts. Her Aura Bow quickly returned back into a blade while Luna breathed deeply, her eyes closed before they opened in an instant, her blade flashing in an instant as she bisected the seven incoming Spells before sending back a quick [Reaping Moon], a cutting slash that forced the two ranged Dragonoids to retreat. The red-eyed one advanced, jumping towards the two Casters to end them only for earth spikes to violently rise from the ground to impale her. She didn¡¯t hesitate, her blade becoming something like a staff she stroke the ground, sending herself higher and destabilizing the Spell itself before rolling in the air, the Staff becoming something similar to a spear she ruthlessly and immediately threw it towards the Earth-Attribute one, accepting the lightning strike the other Dragonoid sent towards her. Thanks to both her Aura Armor and her ¡°Lunarian Resistance¡± she didn¡¯t recieve much Damage, rolling in mid-air to land on her feet, landing on the former spikes. Just in time too as she found herself crossing her arms, barely blocking a concentrated burst of wind that still however send her flying back, breaking her flight on a tree trunk, shattering it and the following two before finally stopping on the fourth, her eyes unerringly focused on her meals as she was licking her lips, her hunger stimulating her Aura. - (Amber vs Aurora) Aura clad strike met Aura clad slash, fire and ice exploding from the contact between the two¡¯s Aura, Amber ducking to dodge Aurora¡¯s strike as she was not able to offset the other¡¯s power, launching a simultaneous kick that created distance between the two of them while sending a wave of fire. The blue-haired one created a block of ice underneath her to launch herself over the wave of fire, beating her wings once before sending forward a cold mist that froze the ground solid while the blonde ran forward, dodging underneath the mist before sending a pillar of flames towards her enemy that responded by closing her wings around herself, being blasted away without too much damage. The True Dragon quickly cooled down the air around her, sending ice spikes coated in Aura flying forward while the Demon Phoenix carefully and hastily flew around them, fire trailing behind her before launching towards her enemy, as both an attack and distraction for her own following attack. However this wasn¡¯t enough as Aurora simply tanked the fire before grabbing her target by the throat and slamming and slamming her into the ground, their Aura¡¯s battling for dominance shortly, before the Demonic-blooded one hooked her legs around the other¡¯s waist before trying to stab her in the brain with her Arma coated by her golden and purple flames. Hurriedly the Dragon grabbed the other¡¯s wrist to stop the attack in its track as while a destroyed brain would without a doubt stun her enough for the other to wound her deeply in the time she would take to heal from the attack. However this triumph was short lived as, with a smirk on her cute face, Amber changed the hand her Arma was in before, taking advantage of the fact she had a free hand, stabbed her ¡°Blazing Blade of the Piercer¡± clad in fire and Aura this time directly in the other¡¯s heart, the combination of the two enough to disrupt shortly the barrier caused by ¡°Imperial Scale¡± and weakening her enemy¡¯s hold on her throat and wrist. Immediately the Phoenix tightened her hold on the other¡¯s waist, grabbed both of her wrists tightly, leaned fully against the other and released a blast of fire and Aura directly against her previously wounded chest, ripping a scream of pain from her throat, before inverting their position with a movement of her pelvis she praticed this last month with her lover in another situation. Once on top the Demonic one concentrated her Aura and flames around her blade before thrusting down on the other¡¯s skull. It, however, only melted the ground as the Ice-related one quickly moved her head to dodge what would be an heavily debilitating, if not fatal, strike before kicking her target away from her. The two stood on their feet at around the same time, Auras flaring around them yet the differences between the two¡¯s and their uses was evident. Aurora¡¯s was wild and unrestrained, forcibly using her own and her Hoard¡¯s Mana to fuel its usage beyond what she would normally be able to, freezing the ground around her, while Amber¡¯s was focused, and burning, exclusively in the area immediately around her, minimizing the effort needed to maintain it, and thanks to the influence of her Skill ¡°Undying Body¡± on it, her Aura lasted a full second even without being fueled at reduced potency and she took advantage of it by continuously activating and deactivating it at precise one second intervals thanks to the intense training of this last month. The battle resumed, ice rising in tendrils all around the burning one and trying to impale her as she quickly dodged them, her burning blade stopped by a claw made of ice as the two clashed again and again, the advantage quickly being taken by Aurora as now that she had an Aura of her own, Amber could no longer compensate for the difference in Rank and being forced to use her ace. Her Unique Arma was quickly clad in a mix of Aura and dense, almost solid, flames, an Art that she made by maintaining her previous special attack exclusively around her blade thanks to both her increased knowledge on the Fire-Attribute itself and her Aura containing the fire. Her blade started to cut straight throught the claw and the arm underneath it at once, the Dragon immediately releasing an Elemental Roar to send the Phoenix back, ice forming around her wounded arm in its shape before slowly being turned in a new arm for her, a faster and cheaper process to restore her arm invented in the past by True Dragons using ¡°Elemental Manifestation¡± and their immense natural Quantity of Energy to reach the Phoenixes when it comes to Healing. Amber stepped forward, breaking the ice crystal formed around her, her flames and Aura raging around her before returning to be controlled, her eyes narrowed in focus.

Chapter 38 (Luna vs Aurora¡¯s Hoard) Her Aura quickly condensed back into her Armor and Weapons thanks to the influence of her Crafting- and Artifact-related Skills on it as she launched herself back into the battle, her left blade thrusting to the throat of the axe wielding one, this last one barely dodging by falling to the ground before quickly spinning around to try and sever her head with a long blade made out of solid darkness from the ground. Luna didn¡¯t hesitate, rising an hand and stopping the other¡¯s attack dead by grabbing the blade within her hand, stunning the Dragonoid long enough for her to step on him hard, embedding him deeply in the ground before the Weapon she just let go of, turned into a circular shield upon the Vampiric one¡¯s back to block the Wind-infused punch without moving atop her next target. Her foot upon his body rose slightly before falling back down with force upon him, her hand holding his construct clenching hard and shattering it into pieces, spinning her Weapon in her other hand once before thrusting it violently down towards his heart. The earth under them suddently moved thanks to the influence of one of the Dragonoids to try and save their Hoard-mate while this last one sent various tendrils of water to pierce his opponent¡¯s body but she did not hesitate, releasing briefly her Armor and Weapons in a burst of Aura to forcefully destabilize the attack thanks to the influence of ¡°Authority: Vital Mana¡± before reforming, her feet no longer landing on the ground but on a solid layer of Vital Mana. Luna immediately thrusted, impaling the retreating Dragonoid on the ground by the shoulder, barely missing his heart before breathing in deeply once, Vital Energy being forcefully channeled to within her Spear before it exploded in a blast of destruction starting within his body. Fire and Lightning ravaged the ground, cracks and cuts spreading violently all around, further simultaneous blows raining forward and underneath the two of them. The Water and Dark Dragonoid found remains of his right arm flying away, seriously damage, a hole consuming most if not all of his chest as the rest of his body was ravaged by Fire, Lightning and slashes as most of his blood simply ceased to be in an instant, bleeding Vital Energy in an effort to not die immediately following the previous blow. This however didn¡¯t leave him any option to resist the following blow, Luna rising her left foot before stomping on his head, hard enough to destroy it completely, forcefully draining his blood and taking in his Soul. She quickly examined his Soul in search of a Water- or Dark-Attribute Skill she could make a new Familiar out of but she found none to her displeasure as he merely used the Skill ¡°Elemental Manifestation¡±, before she was about to devour it, however, she found an Innate Skill that Humans rarely are born with. Skill that she did not hesitate to take for her own. *Luna Gains 100 + 7 Magicules. *Familiar Warden Gains the Skill ¡°Adaptability¡±. This Skill was without a doubt incredibly useful starting from E-Rank. Upon recieving Damage it would increased both temporarily and permanently the Resistance of the owner to the source, even if with a limit. And the effect she enjoyed from her Aura was easy for her to understand as her Aura Shield was being assaulted by all manners of attacks and, as a conseguence, her Aura in general became more and more Resistant to them, even if in her case by only a slight amount and only temporarily. Even so this Skill was useful to her in reducing the amount of both willpower and Vital Mana she needed to deal with the attacks of her meals while she fully turned her attention towards the other Dragonoids dodging one after the other the boulders sent forward by one of the mage while the other was Casting a large-scale Spell. Luna let her, concentrating on the rapidly approaching Fist-based C-Ranked one, wind bending around her to accelerate her movements as the two quickly met, fists and claws clad in wind and Mana being deflected by hands covered in gauntlets made of solid Energy while at the same time deflecting the answering blows, spikes appearing from all around the two trying to impale the Vampiric one. The ground underneath the two suddently rose, the two being violently and suddently sent flying up by a Spell of the Earth Dragonoid while electricity condensed high above the two in a single point. Before Luna could dodge, the Air Dragonoid grabbed her hands in a moment of surprise to keep her still. Thunder overwhelmed all other sounds as a five meters wide lightning fell similarly to a ray of light on the two of them, the rock underneath the two shattering immediately to ground level. Immediately a dome made out of hardened stone rose around where the Dragonoid believed their target to be, assuming her survival without hesitation or doubt before starting to swiftly Chant, reinforcing the defense of her shield. The Air-Attribute Dragonoid posed herself before her two Hoard-mates, her eyes continuously searching for any traces of her Master¡¯s latest fascination, the air around the three solidifying in a shield to protect them while the Lightning-Attribute one was slowly increasing the static in the air to render following Spells easier and to try and Paralyze their future Hoard-mate. Silence stretched on for what felt like an eternity. A fist clad in violent iridescent Energy pierced the dome keeping its owner trapped. The dome subsequently shattered as Luna used the hole she just forced in the wall to widen it enough for her to walk out of it, her Unique Arma altered slightly under the influence of the mysterious Energy surrounding her, her red eyes shining brightly as her bloodlust raged without limits. The battle restarted as Luna released from her Auric Bow a beam of Energy. - (Amber vs Aurora) The blonde accumulated fire around her before releasing it in an instant, closing the distance and causing a line of melted rock in the ground as her Blade rose in a violent slash. The azure-haired one stepped forward, ice quickly covering her arms hand as she punched forward with her left hand, the ice forming something akin to a lance to stab through the other¡¯s body and a shield around her right arm. Both attack landed at the same time. An arm covered in ice flew away, golden and purple flames slowly spreading and devouring it. A lance of ice pierced straight through Amber¡¯s chest and beyond her back. The Demonic one¡¯s Aura expanded for an instant together with her grin as she forcefully grabbed her enemy¡¯s hand. A fireball above the two destabilized, releasing a rain of fire that covered the two in an instant before the Phoenix punched with a fist covered in Aura and flames, sending the Dragon flying away from the still raining fire. The reason for such was simple, really, and based entirely on her specific type of Resistance against Fire Damage. To explain Damage Resistance easily, giving as an example a Resistance Threshold of 100. With a Resistance-type Skill, Damage under 100 is halved; With an Immunity-type Skill, Damage under 100 is negated; With a Nullification-type Skill, the Damage is mitigated by 100; Finally with an Absorption-type Skill, like Amber¡¯s ¡°Fire Absorption¡±, the Damage is mitigated by 100 and she would gain Vital Energy and Mana equivalent to half the mitigated Damage. In this situation Amber used a previously Casted Spell, altered to the point it would have theoretically woulded herself to recover the Vital Energy spent to heal from the previous attack and more Mana that the Spell itself required to be Cast. Aurora watched carefully as Amber stepped away from the fire only to step back suddently, her leg suddently encased in short-lived ice caused by her own efforts. Said efforts being her Bestowal of a rock with a Name, rock that Amber inadvertibly stepped on just now. All the same this was not a significant attack as it was merely a rock to be Named yet this was a tactic that she was quite familiar with as her plan was to become strong enough to be able to Name her entire mountain at once as a single Entity to function as both fortress, focusing array to expand and increase her control over her Territory and accumulate Magicules for both herself and her Hoard both more efficiently and at an accelerated speed. At thinking about her mountain, she forlornly observed where her mountain formerly resided before sighing and returning to the battle. So long as she could make hers both the Phoenix and the Vampiric one, it didn¡¯t matter even if her entire Hoard would be annihilated as the twos value was much higher when it comes to being part of an Hoard and she could always seek a new mountain. Amber sent forward a wave of fire that Aurora blocked with a wall of ice before she dodged the sword covered in fire thrown by the blonde, this last one falling in a kick centered towards her new location. The Tyrant crossed her hands, blocking the harsh kick from the Phoenix, her feet shattering the ground underneath her in an instant, her legs briefly bowing before she straightened, sending away the Demon Phoenix that rolled while still in the sky, landing on her feet before immediately dashing back to her enemy, her hands clad in a mix of Aura and golden-purple flames launching fist after fist that Aurora dodged one after another, her lost arm slowly healing. Suddently, as Amber made to punch, she opened her hand, her previously thrown Arma appearing back in her hand transforming what would have been a dodged blow into a deep slash that opened the red-eyed one for an harsh punch that sent her flying back. Aurora breathed in deeply once before releasing an ¡°Elemental Roar¡±, a wide beam of Cold Mana that froze solid the ground before her, Amber having previously jumped hign in the sky to dodge it before falling down in a dive to kick in the back of the head her enemy.

Chapter 39 (Luna vs Aurora¡¯s Hoard) Everything before Luna was instantly destroyed in a wave of force while the Air Dragonoid hurriedly grabbed her two Hoard-mates and threw them away from the blast, air solidifying before her in a barrier to buy herself enough time to dodge most of the incoming blow. Thing that she succeded in doing with just some burns and cuts on her formerly crossed arms before she sent forward her own ¡°Breath Attack¡±, a wave of concentrated wind that Luna casually stepped around before sending in response her own attack, but this one was quite different from her previous ones. She nocked an Arrow into her Bow, pulling it with force, before pointing at the sky. ¡°[Ruinous Star].¡± At the calm declaration, the Arrow was launched at incredible speed. It spun on itself, seeming to drill into the air faster and faster while at the same time twisting on itself, in a way that seemed to be incredibly slow while being too fast for the eye to see, becoming first a line then stopping high in the sky, becoming a small sphere floating . One second passed. It rippled once, becoming smaller, the sky above the four of them becoming an empty void illuminated only by its light. Two seconds passed. It rippled twice, becoming even faintier, the empty void being gradually filled by various lights as if stars in the night sky. Three seconds passed It rippled thrice, ceasing to be. And once the ripple reached the other stars, they too released a ripple. And once this ripples reached other stars, beams of iridescent Energy fell upon her three future meals continuously, ripples causing further ripples and beams of Energy. And so Luna admired the spectacle with a smile on her face, a continuous series of light falling from the sky as if a meteor shower only for them to impact the ground and explode in waves of destruction and for new meteors to follow their way. The explosions continued endlessly, a minute straight passing without any sign of it stopping or weakening at all, as she continued to admire her Art, absolutely bewitched by the sight as was natural. After all, even if altered to become a combat-specialized Art, this was in origin an Art Scarlet made to show Azure a meteor shower as a gift, Art called [Falling Stars] when employed as a spectacle instead. All the same it was still a beautiful yet deadly Art, capable of lasting theoretically forever as the explosions were used as fuel for further attacks and so was the Energy all around them even that of the various defensive measures by her targets, being incanalated for further attacks. And this was not all as she was able to modify her Art further, thanks to the old Vampire¡¯s research and teachings combined with the Moon¡¯s Records, granting it the ability to seek its specific targets, in this case the three Dragonoids, in its radius and, additionally, it is now rendered indipendent from her own will and needing no concentration or to stand still anymore. Suddently Luna lifted her right leg, dodging a pair of hands made of stone rising from the ground that were trying to grab her before stomping down, releasing a wave of Aura down in the ground to negate her meal¡¯s influence on it. Luna nodded to herself, forcefully dragging her attention away from her own attack and towards her opponents. It wasn¡¯t strange that even now they were surviving under her assaults, proof of the Dragon¡¯s intelligence even while deprived of rationality, as the four Dragonoids at C-Rank had each a different main Affinity manifested by the Skill ¡°Elemental Manifestation¡±. The Dark and Water axe guy would normally be nothing special as it had a low Affinity with his Attributes or Magic in general however it had the Skill ¡°Adaptability¡± that rendered the Conversion from Human to Dragonoid faster and cheaper and rendered him a natural long-term shield for the other three and his Master. The Air fist girl was instead the most effective at both supporting the others and the fastest outside of short bursts. The Lightning Caster was able to make bursts of speed if necessary but she had also the highest direct offensive potential while the Earth Caster had the greated defensive potential, being able to shield them if necessary as she was doing right now by defending all three of them by her attack. Her interest in their Master was increasing as she decided the other would be hers once her Amber finished her battle. All the same, however, it wasn¡¯t enough as demonstrated by the desperate attack just now as they must have understood her attack would not stop anytime soon and their Energy would be depleted with them later dying. The Earth-Attribute one must have tried to attack her to disrupt her concentration and hoping to end her attack but she failed and instead led to Luna remembering her meals still existed. The Vampiric one quickly calculated the location of the three remaining Dragonoids, using the trajectories of her ¡°stars¡±, finding them to be slowly and gradually sinking deeper and deeper underground. In response, she had only one thing left to do. Quickly the Material Illusion jumped high in the sky, above the bounds of her Art and precisely above its center, Arrow yet again nocked. Said Arrow was launched, spinning on itself quick enough to twist the air around it as it fell violently on the three Dragonoids¡¯ hideout, this time without the use of a particular Art. The ground ruptured at once, causing an eruption that sent most of the cover protecting her targets away and weakening the ground enough for her ¡°meteors¡± to shred the remaining barrier before further raining on her meals. Luna slowly and calmly floated down from the sky, the void in the sky slowly dissipating as were the stars, her feet landing on the ground as she looked down on the three or more precisely on the one still alive, three blades made out of Black Blood floating above her and ready for her to take them in. ¡°Any last words?¡± She asked the last remaining Dragonoid alive, the Lightning-Attribute one. This last remaining one merely glared back before suddently grabbing her ankle with force. While the Air- and Earth-Attribute Dragonoids were forming the barrier to block the other¡¯s assault, by solidifying wind and Shaping and fortifying the stone respectively, and protecting her with their last breathes, she was preparing this Spell, a Spell based entirely on her Skill of ¡°Lightning-Attribute Druidry¡± that she normally used by manipulating her ¡°Elemental Manifestation¡± instead of manipulating Energy from and to the Plane of Roars. What she did was simple and based on a legend of the past, that of the birth of the Emperor of Flames, an ancient Spiritual Mage long dead. According to said legend, he had a teacher that was a Fire-Attribute specialized Druid that was nearing his death. In a story that would have been quite familiar to Luna, instead of fighting it, he searched for an apprentice to impart his knowledge to before his passing and found said future Emperor, noted his talent and decided to teach him. Once he learned as much as he could from him, the old Mage led the two of them in a vast forest and proceded to burn it and his own life at once, creating a vast, even if temporarily, Gate to the Plane of Rampages where said student formed a Pact with a Spirit King, this last one impressed with both teacher and student. Similarly to that example, the Dragonoid sacrificed her life to manifest a brief Gate to the Plane of Roars not to allow a Spirit or an Elemental through but to release a giant mass of Lightning Energy directly within the white-haired one¡¯s body. Luna fell, a scream of pain being torn from her throat as she fell on her knees, her organs being gravely damaged as she was barely able to remain concious thanks exclusively to her Mental Skills mixed with her high natural Resistances. All the same she was not able to move or to even use her now fallen blood to devour the three Dragonoids¡¯ corpses or heal for a while. Barely breathing, Luna once again grieved the fact that she really did not understand the motivation of other People. However her eyes were focused on her preys well aware that at their level of power, their Souls would take a little over one hour before returning to Gaea¡¯s Core, while she was thinking about her Amber, wondering briefly if she would succed in her battle before starting to concentrate on healing from the last attack. This battle was over and the winner was Luna. However she needed at least 35 minutes before she healed enough to take in the three Dragonoids and before then she certainly could not interfere with Amber¡¯s fight. - (Amber vs Aurora) The kick landed hard as Aurora fell briefly on her knees, flames washing over her before she released a wave of Aura in turn, pushing her away from her, before striking with a tail covered in an armor of ice and Aura, ice spikes following after the bird-like one. In response Amber concentrated her flames around her Unique Arma and precisely severed the spikes, thing she was quite accustomed to thanks to her training with the hot and psycho that was known by the name of Luna. As such she was more than cognizant enough to dodge the next attack, a miniaturized iceberg being thrown without any hesitation, flying well above it and preparing to attack with a fireball held in her right hand only to hesitate upon seeing her enemy¡¯s expression. ¡°They all died? How dare she?! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! She will pay!¡± Aurora focused on the target before her, a cruel yet obsessive light in her eyes. Amber shuddered, moving slightly away from her enemy before concentrating on the fight before her, aware of the fact it was now either much harder or easier depending on how the other would behave.

Chapter 40 (Amber vs Aurora) Immediately Amber dropped low with an explosion, dodging the immediate ¡°Elemental Roar¡± launched by her enemy before launching herself left to dodge a spike of ice three meters wide. Before the Phoenix could attack, she found herself having to make an explosion underneath herself to dodge ice spikes rising suddently from the ground before opening her wings wide and flapping her wings to gain further altitude while launching various fireballs back to test the other¡¯s reaction to her attack. Aurora in response roared, an inhuman sound somehow escaping her Humanoid-shaped throat as a blizard violently was unleashed around her to extinguish the fireballs before expanding to cover their whole battlefield. That was proof enough of the other¡¯s temporary sloppiness as, differently from her own still active [Hellish Sun] that increased the temperature of the area slowly and additionally stole Energy from everyone she would consider an Enemy and their various constructs and attacks to maintain itself and increase in effectiveness over time or as an additional reservoir for an emergency, this ¡°Spell¡± constantly Drained the azure-haired one¡¯s Mana to fuel itself and eventually her own Spell would overtake and consume it. And so, she was now certain of her next step. The flames composing her clothes became once more living flames and she Shaped them into a Magical Circle that shone brightly in yellow and purple as she Casted for the first time a Spell that she originally planned to use on Luna to take her by surprise. ¡°[Cursed Holy Flame]!¡± At the center of the Circle a gold and purple sphere manifested briefly before shattering, releasing a wave of force that formed itself into an Aura around her enemy before forming into sofly burning chains restricting her movements. This was a special Spell derivative of the operation in conjunction of Fire-, Holy- and Curse-Attributes, which Amber naturally possessed an high Affinity as a Phoenix in the first two Attributes and the third Affinity grew once she became a Demonic Phoenix and thanks to the increase in Rank of ¡°Energy Siphon¡±. The effect of the Spell was as simple as it was deadly. It interfered with all uses of Vital Energy or Mana of the one being enveloped, absorbing around 1% each use, converting it into fuel for the Spell, similarly to her [Hellish Sun] but with the difference being that it influenced only one individual and, while it was Active, it would gradually inflict the Status Alteration ¡°Burning¡± and passively weaken the afflicted individual further. Following that, Amber dived at her opponent, a new layer of flames covering her to form a drill that she used to pierce the blizzard before she twisted into a stand, most of the flames surrounding her Unique Arma, while the remaining reformed her clothes, as she swung harshily her blade to cut off the other¡¯s head. Aurora made to dodge but she felt it, her movements being impeded and slowed down by the chains, deciding at last to create a shield of ice to block the attack, shield that was able to deflect the attack only once it was coated in Aura. All the same the imbalance caused by this was more than enough for Amber to spin around and kick her enemy in the back with a foot clad in flames and Aura. The two separated, the Dragon turning in mid-air to release an immediate ¡°Elemental Roar¡± that the Phoenix dodged with an explosion before rising an hand covered in brilliant flames. The flame erupted, nine long ribbons being sent forward to drive their maker¡¯s enemy back, curtailing her further and further away from the Demonic-blooded one while she herself moved, the ribbons no longer needing any instructions or guidance towards their target. Meanwhile the shorter one hurriedly ran forward, trying to take advantage of the other¡¯s distraction to stab her in the back but this was quite the hasty and naive attempt to end the fight immediately. Naturally, even with the ribbons trying to entrap her, the True Dragon¡¯s eyes did not lose sight of her target as demonstrated by the tail coated in a fine layer of ice that surrounded the orange-eyed one¡¯s arm, stopping it and her cold, before she turned around and punched in the stomach with a fist clad in frozen armor. In response the blonde exploded in a wave of fire, muffling the impact and damaging slightly her enemy, and being sent flying back violently. Spinning while still in mid-air, Amber landed on her feet only with a widening of her eyes for her to drop to the ground to dodge a tail covered in spikes of ice before releasing a burst of fire to send herself over the spikes of ice rising from the ground, her wings beating twice to further increase her altitude. Before the redhead could reach her in the skies, the nine ribbons reached, clinging to her limbs and her body in general to still her briefly, sure, but long enough for the blonde to make her move. Instantly the previously Casted Curse fused with the ribbons together, forming a single chain that then ceased to be, using as material the entirety of its stored Energy to become a small cage of flames around the ice-related one, immobilizing her completely for three whole seconds while bathing her in flames and heat. And while her enemy was distracted by the flames, the Phoenix rose higher and higher, reaching her [Cruel Sun] and touching it lightly, forcibly absorbing the entirety of the stored Vital Energy and Mana to within her own body, converting it in its entirety to Vital Mana, in order to compensate for it having stored more than what she herself could safely store, ending up with a much weakened [Cruel Sun] and a full Well of Vital Mana. Aurora broke the cage on her own upon the two second-mark by forcefully freezing the flames by mixing together Vital Energy, Mana and her Aura to cool down, for an instant alone, her own body to absolute zero, before looking up to her target high in the sky that was floating there surrounded by a dense Aura of flames. She narrowed her eyes back in challenge as the blizzard intensified until she could not be seen anymore, her own body temperature lowering until it matched that of the air around her, rendering her invisible to the other¡¯s ¡°Heat Sight¡±. Amber clicked her tongue in displeasure before falling in a dive, the air around her bursting into flames before it anticipated her, melting part of the ice being flung around by the freezing winds and parts of the ground Amber landed on, her blade piercing deeply in the earth underneath her, before she breathed in and out deeply once. Fire erupted from the ground in an instant, chasing away part of the blizzard and distracting the Dragon that was trying to grab her from the back. The remaining [Cruel Sun] fell from the sky and exploded against the Dragon while she spun around, her Unique Arma being wretched from the ground, her flames and Aura concentrated around it, as Amber stabbed Aurora¡¯s heart before she pulled it up, cutting her head in two. And so, Aurora died at the hand of what she desired to be hers, her plans foiled. And, following that, Amber increased in Rank as a ¡°Demon Phoenix¡±, naturally Awakening her Unique Skill ¡°Piercer¡± and activating the effect of her Unique Arma while. Once done having enjoyed her newfound increase in power she explored her own body, noting how she aged to the equivalent of a 21 years old young woman, finally reaching 165 cm in height while, with a grimace, she gave up on the thought of ever having curves comparable to her lover. Sighing she opened her wings wide, ignoring the corpse of her enemy now returned to her shape as a Dragon upon her death, a Dragon much greater than the one she was previously. From high in the sky it was easy for her to find her lover and, conseguently, it was easy for her to reach her. Said lover was at the moment lying down, her eyes closed as she rested after her battle. Amber should have been irritated at seeing Luna enjoy herself so much while she just finished fighting for her life but she was too distracted by the other¡¯s state of dress, or more precisely her state of undress considering how she was completely naked, to entertain any annoyance or to even think at all. ¡°Are you going to keep watching me all day? If you do, you should first bring me to the Dragon¡¯s corpse at least. After I take her blood, you are free to do whatever you want.¡± A smooth, confident voice broke the Phoenix from her stupor and, thanks to the subtext evident in the other¡¯s words, she obeyed immediately, turning back into an Humanoid form and taking the other in her arms, despite the notable difference between the two in both height and physique. Meanwhile a small liquid mass finished to take in the blood of the three dead Dragonoids. *Luna Gains 100 + 7 Magecraft times 3. *Familiar Vision Gains the Skill ¡°Air-Attribute Sorcery¡±. *Familiar Warden Gains the Skill ¡°Earth-Attribute Magecraft¡±. *Familiar Blitz Gains the Skill ¡°Lightning-Attribute Druidry¡±. Luna simply relaxed within her soon-to-be Mate¡¯s arms, enjoying the feeling of the wind on her face as the two moved to the other Soul she would obtain while ignoring for now the hands that were taking advantage of the fact that even now she could barely move to eagerly explore her body. The flight back was much quicker as Amber was eager to complete their deal, sure, but the thing she was most eager for was celebrate her victory. The two found themselves before the enormous corpse of the fallen Dragon as Luna nodded, satisfied. Her next step was obvious, then. A small quantity of her Black Blood entered within the corpse, quickly converting her blood to Vital Mana for Luna, while she took in the other¡¯s Soul, storing it safely deep within her own body. She gained no Magicules, new Familiar or Skill and neither did her Potential increase as she did not sent to the Moon the Soul she just took in. She simply stored the Soul within her own so that one day she could Resurrect her, once Aurora would be hers. She had more than enough to safely reach C-Rank, especially once Amber would formerly accept to become her third Mate. And speaking of her third Mate, this one did not hesitate. Once Luna had finished storing the corpse within her Ring, she flew away again, still with her in her arms, back to their previous hideout, her intentions clear to Luna. Intentions that this last one had no intention of fighting for long. ¡°Before that. Do you accept to be my third Mate?¡± ¡°Yes, I do.¡± That was enough for Luna as the two started in an intense and breathtaking kiss. Status Total Magicules 110998 Total Grade VI Stored Magicules 2825 Magicules a Day 410 + 1000 + 500 = 1910 Final Grade: (VI + VI) + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V= LXVII (67) Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k.

The final gain of Magicules is 100 plus the Magicules absorbed by the victim, all of it increased to 107% or 100 plus the Magicules absorbed by the victim lowered to 7% if ¡°Devouring Evolution¡± is Activated. #Soul_Harmony A process to automatically gain Magicules equal to the sum total of all other Skills the owner possess depending on their Rank times 5 every day.

MChapter 41 10/6 0:57 (Autumn, Day, Nord Lowrar) *Luna Gains 410 + 1.000 + 500 Magicules. Luna woke up, her eyes opening slowly while her arms rested upon and around her blonde Mate lying down utop herself, her Mark glowing slightly upon Amber¡¯s neck from last night. She smiled satisfied as she entered briefly in contact with Sabel and Mafel, making sure they were safe before quickly exchanging informations with them, thing rendered quite easy as during this last month she regularly communicated with them to the point that their Marks advanced to D-Rank, rendering their communication even more efficient, capable at this point to send memories. Thing that in the last month she used extensively to communicate with her two Mates despite the distance while all three of them were sleeping to share informations about their newest Mate and the situation in general. All the same, Luna quickly concentrated back into herself, following the beating of her heart and the flow of her own blood and Vital Mana within her own body, quickly falling deeply within her own Soul, ignoring her own Soulscape to dive even deeper, in a part of her Soul she never previously needed or bothered to ever access. This was not the part of her Soul that functioned as a tether connecting with her three Mates but even deeper in, a part of her Soul not entirely her own as she floated forward as an approximation of her own body made out of Black Blood and shining in Vital Mana. She was not alone as was only natural for this specific place. In the void she now was in, various amorphous shadows floated peacefully, constantly assuming forms and then collapsing back into darkness, brightly glowing purple lights shining from all over their bodies. Luna floated forward, ignoring the way the shadows¡¯ attention focused on her while her own attention was focused on one thing and one thing alone, the only thing that was in discord within this place was a Dragon-shaped mass. Luna advanced, noting with interest how the other anomaly¡¯s temperature was, even as just a mass of Soul and Magicules, actually colder that the Tyrant was while alive. The shadows moved towards the Lunarian suddently, enveloping her in an embrace while she continued undeterred, her movements if so they could be called not being slowed down at all, instead being spurned on as the amorphous shadows melded together with her into a single entity. The ¡°Dragon¡± concentrated on the incoming threat, the space around her cooling down even further as her disorientation gave way to wariness as a humanoid mass of darkness neared her, feathers, horns and spikes emerging from all over its body together with small luminous crystals shining purple and jutting out of and into her body into long spirals. The frozen Aura was unleashed in full to stop the advance of the threat, the temperature lowering sharply around her before it billowed out in a cloud of freezing will. In response the chaotic Aura released by the figure condensed into a single point, quickly and efficiently piercing the wave before it exploded directly into Aurora¡¯s Soul, sending her flying back. Luna flowed forward, the emptiness around her parting easily as she reached the Dragon stunned because of both the blow and the loss itself and landed on her head before patting it a couple of times in a way that Aurora quickly and easily interpreted as condescension. In response the Dragon Soul roared, a wave of power forcing the soon-to-be complete Lunarian to retreat, her Aura solidifying to deflect most of the impact while her own body distorted into a long shape similar to a feathered horned serpent. Serpent that flew back and encircled the four-legged one¡¯s mouth closed before expanding further, encircling her prey¡¯s limbs and wings before long feathered tentacles erupted from its scales, further trapping her before starting to constrict more and more, its Aura suppressing Aurora to the point she couldn¡¯t resist. The thing that was and was not merely Luna opened its maw before biting down on the Dragon¡¯s neck, filling her with her own essence. Such a process was not to hurt but to instead fill the other with her own being, not intending on overwrithing the other yet still intending on suppressing her will with the purpouse of dominating the other. Luna shrunk, forcing Aurora to do the same or being crushed until finally¡­ Aurora stood there, being forced in a humanoid form, her arms, legs, wings and tail immobilized by long feathered tentacles while her throat was pierced by a pair of long fangs, an attractive feminine humanoid body pressed flushed against her own while an hand caressed her hairs and the other was around her back, holding the two of them close together. This lasted only a couple of seconds before Luna finally separated from her prey and pressing her hand against the other¡¯s cheek, both mockingly and sincerely. ¡°For now, I must go. Ah, but don¡¯t worry, you are going to be mine one day.¡± The Lunarian vanished again, leaving behind a gasping Dragon Soul in humanoid form on her knees unable to concentrate on anything but the place where the other just vanished. *Luna Gains the Innate Skill ¡°Presence: Charm¡± E. Luna stretched slightly in the World outside her Soul, satisfied by both her new Skill and the effect she had on the guest within herself, before relaxing and continuing to embrace her Mate. - 10/6 4:30 (Autumn, Day, Yggrar, Guild Headquarters) The Guild Grandmaster, the Doppelganger known as Stere Hapu, was interrupted from her pause by the knocking of one of her assistants, the young Elf bowing briefly once before handing their boss a sealed envelop containing schematics and data on a specific type of Skills and Artifacts, more precisely all the Sensor-types the various Guilds recieved permission to study. Hurriedly she stood up from lying down on her desk, her at the moment feminine form moving quickly, to take from their hands said reports and starting to quickly read and compare their characteristics, quickly separating the files in three piles. The first pile was for the useful ones, the second for these useless for her purpose and the third and final ones was for for the ¡°maybe¡± pile because of ethical concerns caused by the use of this Skills and Artifacts. The next step was simple. As the Rules changed ahead of the Guild¡¯s prediction, it is only natural that her organization changes with it to stay in steps with the coming times. And her project would be a way for the Guild to further refine her Guild¡¯s precision when it comes to misuring her Adventurers¡¯ and various threats power now that the Status Page no longer shows numerical Values. She quickly started to draw a rough sketch for the blueprint, starting to calculate the needed costs, both material- and time-based, for the creation of the Artifact while refinining the blueprint and thanks to the fact she had already completed the work for well beyond just the rest of the Month she had no worries outside of various potential emergencies. The Elf bowed once before leaving the room, unaware of the way one of their Boss¡¯ eyes was examining them. She had ten assistants at a time and each one of them must work as her own personal assistant three days a month, chosen between all of her assistants at the start of the previous one as demonstrated by the fact that she already had the schedule of her assistants of not only this month but also of the incoming one, while the rest are split between various miscelaneous duties, combat training, even if only rarely within Dungeons considering how no Dungeon could exist within Yggrar, and general vacantion and relaxation. There was no particular irregularity between the schedules of her assistants in general and this one in particular, nor were there irregularity in their behavior, speech, smell or anything else wheter physical or magical. Not only that but all of her assistants must be equivalent to an high C-Class at a minimum so replacing one of them would be quite an undertaking, an undertaking she doubted was the thing that happened. All the same she had no doubt in her mind, something was off with her assistant, and so she started the investigation, wondering at the culprit. - 10/6 4:52 (Autumn, Day, Dunrar, Hidden Dungeon) The former Cultivator carefully observed as the threads shone golden as the final insect finally finished melting into poison, poison that slowly started to condense into a single existence together with all the Energy he accumulated. He neared it, breathing in deeply a couple of times. While he was able to maintain his Cultivation Stage, the third Stage of a Cultivator called Core Formation, thanks to this Dungeon his temporary master created to imitate his Worlds rules as much as they could, however he was reduced from the Fifth Step down to the Third and he was unable to regain any Qi at all considering how the Planet didn¡¯t Generate it at all. Consequently not only he would not be able to Cultivate but it also meant that he would not be able to regain Qi once he would use any of it and living alone consumed a little bit, quantity that as he aged was increasing, limiting even further his Lifespan. As such he could only do one thing. He lifted an hand before posing it on the glowing cocoon, his own Qi being quickly absorbed by it and joining the nascent pseudo-Gu to familiarize it with Qi. His own Cultivation dropped further from the third Step of the Core Formation Stage to the eight Step of the Foundation Establishment, most of his palm destroyed by the brief contact. All his hopes, if so they could be called considering how he was hoping for something that would bring ruin to most of this World, rested on the being that will be born soon. Meanwhile his master was observing him secretely with part of their attention while most of their remaining attention was split between their various Dungeons, recording the data on all their various Mutations to render them more and more efficient, and their spy within the Guild Headquarters. Not the Person themself but their spy, a cell-sized Plant Monster deep within the Elf¡¯s brain that was able to share its host¡¯s senses while having no Mana or Vital Energy signature by sacrificing its ability to influence its host entirely, explaining how it was able to, even if only partially, elude the Guild Grandmaster. All the same the rest of their attention was always stuck on the Ancestor, making sure they would not do any strange movements and considering how they were struck in a coffin made entirely out of Enchanted and Enhanced diamonds, any movement at all would be extremely strange and worrying. Their time would come, soon. Status Total Magicules 112.908 Total Grade VI Stored Magicules 3.735 Magicules a Day 415 + 1.000 + 500 = 1.915 Final Grade: (VI + VI) + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + IV = LXXI (71) Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k.

Awaken State: _While in the Awakened State, all incoming damage is sharply reduced while the power of all Energy Uses is increased further. _The Cooldown is equal to one hour plus the Activation Duration {40 minutes plus Activation Duration/1,5}.

Chapter 42 10/6 2:18 (Autumn, Day, Nord Lowrar) ¡°So, what is our plan now that the bitch is finally dead?¡± Amber asked Luna, the two still starting to rise from their bed. In response, Luna merely stretched briefly, enjoying the way her Mate¡¯s eyes were fixated upon her body, before explaining. ¡°I have no particular plan in mind but my short-term destination is Dunrar.¡± Luna stood up, her new pair of clothes appearing in her hands as she started to dress under the distracted gaze of the Phoenix. The Lunarian smiled, her fangs shining even with the low level of light of their hideout, at the other¡¯s expression and above all she was satisfied by her Mate¡¯s rising lust before nodding to herself. ¡°Would you mind if I try my newest Skill, ¡°Presence: Charm¡± on you?¡± Luna finished to dress back, her shirt covering back her pale skin and bringing Amber back to reality. The Phoenix stammered a little in embarassment before remembering the other¡¯s question and, under her Mate¡¯s amused gaze, she hastily replied. ¡°Sure, I don¡¯t mind. The ¡°Charm¡± condition is not that bad when around Allies.¡± ¡°Okay, here I go then.¡± A small part of Luna¡¯s Vital Mana was spent as a wave was released instantly as Amber closed her eyes before reopening them, the wave of Energy solidifying around her briefly before vanishing, leaving behind a light pink sheen covering the Demon-blooded one¡¯s irises as she blinked a couple of times. ¡°How do you feel?¡± ¡°Well, it¡¯s curious how it immediately caused the ¡°Charmed¡± Status Alteration but it functions as it should, with a decrease on all of my Status Resistances and my Skills automatically consider you as an Ally even if I try to View you as an Enemy.¡± ¡°And its Duration?¡± ¡°The same time it would take me to Recover naturally from the Alteration and not an instant more.¡± ¡°I see¡­ And what about now?¡± Luna activated her newest Skill once again, a wave of pink Energy filling the air for a brief moment. ¡°Nothing changed, it only restored the little bit I Recovered but nothing more than that.¡± ¡°Interesting. In that case, then¡­¡± The white-haired one¡¯s Aura was Unleashed at once, slowly inflicting additional ¡°Charm¡± however not enough to fight back against a Demon Phoenix¡¯s natural Status Alteration Recovery but slowing it down all the same. ¡°I will need a way to inflict the ¡°Fear¡± Status Alteration to lower the Recovery Speed, then.¡± The red-eyed one reflected on her own before being interrupted by her Mate. ¡°Speaking of tests, I have my owns to perform on my Unique Skill if you don¡¯t mind.¡± The rhetorical question waited no answer as she immediately Materialized her Unique Arma, now changing as her own Unique Skill was activated. Flames briefly raged within her left hand before solidifying into a quite changed version. A great curved sword, with a crimson blade that seemed to be burning brightly as vivid as it was, an as bright long purple line as its core while it had a golden hilt with a red gem at its center and ending in a dagger-like sharp purple gem. Calmly the blonde rose it before swinging down at her Mate in a semi-serious attack while a Shield rose in turn to stop the blade, or at least to try and stop it as said blade cut straight trought both it and Luna¡¯s wrist. In response this last one merely grabbed her falling hand before reattaching it casually first with strings of Black Blood and then back with flesh throught a flash of Vital Mana before calmly commenting. ¡°I see, does your Arma now ignore Defense?¡± ¡°Not precisely, strikes involving my Blade simply consider all Resistances to be a Degree lower. Absorption to Nullification, Nullification to Immunity, Immunity to Resistance, Resistance to Neutrality and this last one to Weakness.¡± Amber corrected before Unsummoning her ¡°Blazing Blade of the Piercer¡±. ¡°My Unique Skill, instead, allows me to designate a Spell or an Art, whether my own or someone else, and, once every 30 seconds, allow them to similarly consider all Resistances to be a Degree lower. And yes, their Effects stacks with each other. My Aura, instead, simply boosts all of my Arts and Spells.¡± Luna simply imagined what would happen if her own [Annihilating Conversion] was Boosted with her Mate¡¯s Unique Skill, an eager look in her eyes, while Amber subtly stepped away from the dangerous Person in the room before deciding to distract her. ¡°So, our next stop should be Higrar, shouldn¡¯t it? In that case, you should introduce me to our Mates, they should be on the road for it, right?¡± Luna blinked a couple of times in evident confusion. ¡°What? I mean, yes, I planned on taking you to meet them especially considering how soon it will be Sabel¡¯s birthday but what exactly do you mean by they should be on the road?¡± Silence stretched out between the two before, a sinking feeling in the blonde¡¯s gut, as she responded. ¡°We are in Lowrar, to reach Higrar we need to pass throught Midrar and they should be around the border of the two, shouldn¡¯t they?¡± Yet again silence filled the air between the two before the blonde smiled, genuinely content of having found a mistake made by her Mate. This last one merely blinked once at seeing her Phoenix starting to slowly laugh at her expression before her laugher increased in intensity upon seeing her expression. Her response was obvious, then. The Lunarian stepped forward, embracing her blonde before pressing a specific point of her back and making her yelp and jump in her arms. Subsequently Luna proceded to throw her on the bed and attacking her weak points, reducing her to a laughing mess. Only once she herself was satisfied with her revenge on her Mate did the white-haired one let up on her lover before sitting down next to her, petting her until she calmed down. ¡°Very well, considering how you found so much amusement about such a small mistake then you will function as my guide. Prepare yourself.¡± Luna pressed a light kiss on the other¡¯s lips before standing up herself, stretching lightly before holding her Phoenix in her arms, leaving their base and moving it back into her ring. Amber composed herself fully, jumping down from the taller one to the ground before stepping a couple of paces away from the vampiric one and transforming back into her original form of a vastly bigger Phoenix than she was before made of a mix of gold and purple flames. ¡°Come on, it¡¯s going to be faster if you jump on.¡± ¡°How hasty.¡± Luna jumped on her head, making herself comfortable between the other¡¯s purple horns before sending a message to her other two Mates indicating that the two of them were coming and asking where the four of them could meet, bringing with her a gift she spent the last ten days of their training days to complete while Amber did her own private session and by using True Images all the while. In response Sabel indicated the Dungeon the two met for the first time as the place while Mafel sent her own approval of the plan and the Demonic-blooded one started to flap her wings to fly there, guided by the positions of their Mate and basic geographic sense, thing she was certain what would one day be called as the Whole Moon had no sense for at all, a laughing thrill escaping from her beak. - 10/6 2:18 (Autumn, Day, Anirar) Meanwhile, in a continent far away, in a city nearby the coast, the last to be discovered by the general populace of this Age and known as Anirar, what looked to be a tall and muscular young woman with dark skin, bright silver eyes, long wild black hair, a pair of wolf ears and a long and fluffy wolf tail, dropped from the window of a large manor, slowing her fall by stabbing her elongated claws in the wall before transfering the kinetic energy of her fall into a launch that sent her over the roof of a nearby building. From there she simply jumped from rooftop to rooftop, her route long since chosen for this exact moment in which the security around her was at their most negligent, quickly, especially thanks to her immense physical capabilities, reaching the port and more specifically a previously prepared naval vessel for her to escape on, her thirst for adventure driving her forward even if it meant leaving behind her position and everything she ever knew. Once on board she activated said vessel¡¯s core, it being an Artifact that quickly and forcefully sent her boat and with it herself away from the coast with a burst of speed, barely being able to dodge pursuit from her parent¡¯s guards, at least for a while. She sighed in relief before turning towards what is generally known as a fridge, starting to have a snack while she waited to arrive, unaware of the distance between herself and the nearest safe, for her purpose at least, landmass or at the boredom she will suffer until then. The Werewolf moved to the deck of her dark blue boat, almost ripping her dress off in her haste to free herself from it and leaving herself in a much different outfit, one made for the purpouse of fighting while still being able to show off her musculature, her size and her natural beauty to everyone around her. She lied down while waiting to arrive, her boat driving itself in a stable manner while leaving her balanced. Status Total Magicules 112.908 Total Grade VI Stored Magicules 3.735 Magicules a Day 415 + 1.000 + 500 = 1.915 Final Grade: (VI + VI) + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + IV = LXXI (71) Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k.

Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database.

Chapter 43 10/6 6:32 (Autumn, Day, Sud Midrar) Luna relaxed in an almost dormant state upon the head of her Mate, the warmth of the flames gently enveloping her in a comfortable hold as she sleepily played with the feathers near her hands. Amber meanwhile was fruitlessly trying to concentrate on flying alone, thing quite difficult considering how her beautiful silver-haired Mate¡¯s body was draped all over her own, even if she herself was not in an Humanoid form. Especially because she was not in an Humanoid form considering how as a Phoenix she had no clothes and felt the other right against against her. It was no wonder, then, that she did not go to the Dungeon at her maximum possible speed to enjoy it for as long as possible. Their flight continued on undisturbed, her majestic flying figure enough to scare away any potential Enemies before they finally arrived at her destination as she started to fly high in the sky, circling the tip of the hill in which the Dungeon was in a couple of times before landing near their Mates. Luna jumped down before Amber could even fully land, awakening by feeling the proximity of her Mates to herself and their emotions. More specifically she simply launched herself at them, grabbing the two and dragging them back to the now Humanoid form Phoenix. This last one was barely able to open her arms before the four of them fell on the ground, Luna easily manoeuvring the four of them, the white-haired Elf being on the bottom of the four, her arms opened wide to embrace Amber and Mafel, these last two having their heads resting on her shoulders, while Luna herself was straddling her taller and tallest Mate. ¡°Before anything else, I have a couple of gifts to share, don¡¯t I?¡± The Vampiric one waited for no answer, quickly lowering herself and kissing her black-haired Mate. The kiss deepened, her Human¡¯s mouth opened to allow her tongue in. The gift, however, was not the kiss. It wasn¡¯t only the white-haired tongue¡¯s that invaded her Mate¡¯s mouth but also a dense little sphere, sphere that melted instantly within her. Luna broke off the kiss with Sabel before kissing Mafel and doing the same thing with her. *Sabel Gains the Growth Skill ¡°Unique Arma: Bracelet of the Rebel¡± E. *Mafel Gains the Growth Skill ¡°Unique Arma: Malevolent Staff of the Generator¡± E. ¡°What- How is this possible?¡± Amber widened her eyes, feeling the event thanks to the Mate Mark. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t they have made their Unique Arma themselves?¡± ¡°We could say they did. I worked out how to make it for them during your training.¡± Luna smiled, a smug little grin on her face, waiting for the question. The Phoenix closed her eyes before sighing, her attention moving briefly to their two shared Mates that were examinating their newest Skills before sighing again, being forced to ask. ¡°How exactly did you make their Unique Arma, then?¡± ¡°Very simple really. Mithril and Orichalcum are the two most extreme metals that can be actually used to Craft with by the hands of People. Mithril actively rejects all forms of higher-order Energy and it is found mainly within the Core of this World with some veins reaching up to deep underground while instead Orichalcum actively accepts all forms of higher-order Energy, changing to match it once exposed to enough of it to ease its Channeling.¡± ¡°So¡­?¡± ¡°Right, to make a long story short. I¡¯m a Lunarian, even if incomplete for now, so altering Orichalcum is natural for me. More than that I altered my blood, Vital Energy and Mana to match theirs thanks to the Mate Marks and my Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and then I made their Unique Armas.¡± ¡°How is it natural for a Lunarian to manipulate Orichalcum?¡± Sabel asked, turning back from her examination of her newest Bracelet to ask her Mate, her cheeks slightly red, thing quite normal considering how she was in close contact with three beautiful People. At her question Luna turned back to her and kissed her again, softly this time, before answering. ¡°Well, because quite simply the Moon is entirely made out of concentrated Orichalcum. All the natural Orichalcum on this World is derived from bodies of proper Lunarians, more specifically the gradual and automatic process that converts the entirety of their body into it. It would function much better like that as a Vessel.¡± The red-eyed one explained matter of factly without any particular emotion. Mafel startled, her memories inherited by the Elf Paladin sending a red flag at the last word. ¡°When you say Vessel, what exactly do you mean by that?¡± She questioned, hoping to be wrong only to be mostly right instead. ¡°It is the same thing you mean if you are talking purely about the official definition of Vessel but the result itself would be quite different than what you are thinking. The difference would be between the Gods and the Moon. The firsts are egoisticals, self-centered parasites worshiped because of what they are and needing said worship to properly exist in the first place. Instead the Moon itself needs nor wants such worship, or anything else for that matter.¡± Luna affirmed before sitting up as much as she could on her Elf¡¯s legs. ¡°Not only that but there is more for me to explain. At C-Rank, the blood of a Lunarian would start, drop after drop, to Convert in liquid Orichalcum until it is fully Converted. At B-Rank the Conversion would proceded from the blood to the Lunarian¡¯s single internal organ, our heart-lung-stomach-brain equivalent. Finally, at A-Rank, the Conversion would gradually progress to the rest of the Lunarian¡¯s body. ¡°The Vessel chosen by a God would burn itself out after some time and give control exclusively to the divine one of the two, even with the highest possible Compatibility between the two. Differently the Moon has no actual consciense, the closest equivalent being a mass of informations and wills, and choses as target for this fusion a body made entirely out of Orichalcum, the Metal most capable to adapt to sudden changes and the same Material it is entirely made out of. The result will be quite different from a Divine Vessel, I assure you.¡± Luna lowered herself again, pressing a kiss on each of her Mates¡¯ lips, before standing up fully and porging her hand for them to grab and to subsequently stand too. Once they were on their feets, she kissed each of them once again, sending forth Vital Mana in each of them made by precisely matching the feeling of each of their Vital Energy and Mana to try and teach them how to better use and Sense Vital Mana. ¡°Well, let¡¯s make some quick introductions. ¡°Mafel, Sabel, this is Amber, a newly C-Ranked Demon Phoenix and my newest Mate.¡± Said Phoenix briefly waved to her two new Mates while examining them. ¡°Amber these two are Mafel, a D-Ranked, even if she won¡¯t remain such for very long at this point, Spectral Elf.¡± The willowy one smiled lightly, her eyes misuring the much shorter one both as a woman and as a warrior both, while inwardly preening at her Mate¡¯s acknowledgement of her forthcoming increase in Rank. ¡°And Sabel, a D-Ranked Human, Adventurer and soon-to-be birthday girl.¡± Said Human shily smiled at her newest Mate, her black eyes shining slightly. ¡®Am I the shortest?!¡¯ The blonde thought to herself noting her Mate¡¯s height with dismay. ¡®Am I really so short I cannot be seen by the average Person?!¡¯ She continued, remembering an insult she recieved from a certain Ice Dragon in the past, around the proper start of their animosity towards each other. ¡®No, no. I¡¯m not short, my Mates are just tall, that is all.¡¯ She nodded to herself, temporarily satisfied, unaware that both Mafel and Luna were able to more or less guess her thoughts thanks to her emotions and their Marks, deciding to for now keep their response within their own heads after exchanging a brief look. Sabel, instead, didn¡¯t hesitate. ¡°You are very cute, Amber.¡± She was not able nor was she willing to stop her next action, peting the top of her newest Mate, carefull of her horns, taking advantage of the fact she was actually around 10 cm taller. ¡°I¡¯m not short!¡± She protested immediately, her voice rising briefly. Silence stretched on, her face growing more and more hot, before her tallest Mate, the 192 cm tall Elf, stepped to her and petted her too, a small teasing smile on her face. ¡°There is nothing wrong with being short, Amber. This only renders you even cuter, you know?¡± Considering the difference in height of around 27 cm between the two, this felt even more mocking yet she could do nothing considering how she needed to strain her neck to look the other in the eyes. Before she could properly defend her honour, a pair of arms embraced her from behind before a soft kiss distracted her and she was taken in Luna¡¯s arms, being distracted and creating an opening for Sabel. The black-haired one didn¡¯t hesitate, stepping forward and lightly kissing on the lips her shorter Mate and Mafel followed suit with her own kiss. After all while Luna was at the core of their relations, all four of them were Mates together. The four of them left together, moving towards the Dungeon with Sabel starting to explain the latest on the Guild¡¯s research on it. ¡°So, from what the Guild shared with our Party, this Dungeon was created around the change from the fifth and sixth month of this year and it has 5 Floors in total. The Guild was able to conferm someone¡¯s influence just after it¡¯s creation and the same was true for various other Dungeons all around the World and of various different types. The oldest of the altered Dungeons we know about is just about seven months old and is in Drarar.¡± Sabel. ¡°I see¡­ I would say that the Unique Skill owner is a non-standard Existence then. It is the only way to justify the speed and anonymity of their travels across the World.¡± Luna affirmed mostly to herself. ¡°The Guild Master is of a similar opinion, thinking them to be either a Driad-like or Specter-like Person.¡± Sabel. ¡°It depends mostly if they have somewhat of a physical form or not at all.¡± Luna concluded, gently letting the Phoenix down on her feet. ¡°Let¡¯s explore this place, shall we?¡± She indicated the entrance of the Dungeon with a nod of her head. Status Total Magicules 112.908 Total Grade VI Stored Magicules 3.735 Magicules a Day 415 + 1.000 + 500 = 1.915 Final Grade: (VI + VI) + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + IV = LXXI (71) Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k. (V) A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity.

The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database even if at this Rank, this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can now be accessed actively. The owner will have increased Resistance to all attributes and a natural Resistance and Vulnerability to Bloodloss derived by the fact that they are able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes, however, this time, because of the owner¡¯s Unique Skill, will instead be towards non-elemental affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner¡¯s of this Skill¡¯s, at this Rank it has the effect to add their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database.

Growth: Soul Harmony C Magicules: 10k/10m.

Chapter 44 10/6 9:07 (Autumn, Day, Sud Midrar) Luna for the third time entered the Undead Dungeon, her own and Amber¡¯s Aura flaring around the four of them in unison and crushing all the Undeads coming towards them, their Defenses already weakened thanks to the influence of the Unique Skill ¡°Piercer¡± on their Aura. ¡°As expected, our lack of the ¡°Coordination¡± Skill lowers the Potency of our combined Aura quite a bit from what it should be at.¡± The Lunarian noted while concentrating on both of their Auras, taking on the mental burden of maintaining it on her own and leaving Amber free to help maximize the Damage being dealt by the Aura itself. Damage comprised mostly out of the Status Effects ¡°Burning¡±, ¡°Charmed¡± and ¡°Bloodloss¡± activated by her Aura on all of the Undeads while their Mana and Vital Energy was Drained by both the Aura and the Innate Skill ¡°Energy Siphon¡± itself throught the Aura. Vital Energy and Mana that Amber was slowly merging together within her body while the living illusion functioned as a natural inspiration on how to handle and make Vital Mana even if she was not actually a good teacher for most of the populations, another flaw that went entirely unrecognized in her previous life as Scarlet. Meanwhile this last one was carefully observing her own Vital Mana imbued within the dying Undeads before, using her Aura as a medium, she forcefully directed her own Vital Mana to feed said Energy causing it, and more specifically, the Status Alteration ¡°Charmed¡± to burst violently, spiking in intensity. She repeated the process again, Targetting not the ¡°Charmed¡± Alteration but the ¡°Burning¡± one and then finally the ¡°Bloodloss¡± one, nodding to herself satisfied at her newest Skill. Some may wonder at the effect of the Status ¡°Bloodloss¡± on a bunch of Undeads but while they were Immune to that Alteration, that merely meant that they would not recieve its Effects until it would activate and at that point they would immediately lose a lot of Vital Energy and Mana at once. The Undeads finally died, their Magicules and Pseudo-Souls being condensed in a single sphere that she then devoured in a similar phenomenon to her creation of her Growth Skill by using as model one of Amber¡¯s Skills. *Luna Gains the Ability Skill ¡°Enhancement: Status Alteration¡± E. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Lunar Resistance¡± D Expands because of Growth Skill ¡°Devouring Evolution¡± D. She nodded, satisfied, the last remaining couple of Undeads within the First Floor dying fast as their Status Alterations instantly worsened thanks to her her newest Skill and its effects on her Aura, leading to their demise. Only one thing remained on this Floor. ¡°So should I kill the Boss?¡± Luna asked her Sabel and Mafel. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, the two of us should be more than enough to handle it.¡± The Human responded, her sword held securely into her hand while her newest Bracelet was Manifested around her right wrist, a golden Bracelet with a iridescent gem, even with no particular effect without an active Linked Unique Skill. Mafel didn¡¯t bother to respond to either of her Mates, her own Unique Arma taking the place of her previous Staff, looking like it was made out of an ashen wood, the highest part separating out in sharp branches revealing an iridescent sphere at its center while the Staff ended in a spiraling tip, functioning as a spear in case of things needing to be stabbed. She stepped forward, her Staff forming a brief circle, forming a Magic Circle while various Artefacts upon her body shone lightly, Vital Mana being Channeled within her newest Staff and subsequently within her incoming Spell. Before the Undead Abomination could interfere in any way, the Human ran in and, sword and body both clad in Light, pierced one of its head to the hilt. This on his own would not have been enough but the swordswoman was far from done. The Light around her exploded violently in an instant, blindingly bright and scorching it violently before jumping back, ready for following attacks. ¡°[Curse of Fragility].¡± This cruel Spell was one she learned by observing the Liches of this very Floor and was Casted at much greater speed in comparison because she forgo the Resistance-Piercing Effect. This would have theorically rendered the Spell useless against something like the Undead it was Casted on however her Innate Skill, ¡°Holy Curse¡± C, took care of it. Said Skill had very important effects for her style of combat and the situation in particular. The first relevant effect was the balancing of her Curse- and Holy-Attributes with increases to own applying to both while the second, instead, was for Curse- and Holy-Attribute Spells to count as either of the two against Resistances, in this case all of Mafel¡¯s Curses will count against the Undead Abomination¡¯s terrible Holy Resistance. It was no wonder then, that the Curse landed in full. Sabel didn¡¯t hesitate, running back into the fold and unleashing a series of blows clad in violent Light that seared its undying body again and again while Mafel was Casting another Curse. The Undead roared, bone spikes appearing all around her, but she ignored them after all this was not the first time the two had fought this specific Monster and as such their response was sure. A wave of Light exploded from her body, deflecting most of them before she used her new Bracelet to deflect the remaining ones using its indestructibility, causing Luna to give a brief look to Amber, an eyebrow rising in challenge and causing this last one to blush in embarassment remembering back to her disadventures with her own Unique Arma. The battle between the three continued, Light condensing around her blade before being released in a thrust. A line of white that formed a hole around 40 cms wide within the Undead¡¯s body, giving herself enough time to ending the distance between the two and swinging again and again, a torrent of Light swings that cut it again and again while her Light violently rejected the Monster¡¯s Aura, burning Vital Energy and Mana constantly to fight at this level. And meanwhile the Spectral Elf was not hesitating, Casting Blessing on the Human while Casting Curse after Curse, to slow it down, weaken it, disrupt its Control over Vital Energy and Mana and render it less and less combat capable. It was no wonder then, that the battle for its first life ended without too much trouble even if it was a long one. However the real problem would be its next life. The First Floor Boss died. It¡¯s ¡°Undying Body¡± Skills activated, bringing it back to life, every single one of the Curses on it wiped away in an instant, the entirety of its Vital Energy and Mana was Restored while Sabel and Mafel¡¯s reserves were nearing depletion. The Lunarian quickly checked her Mates¡¯ emotions, making sure that they knew what they were doing and finding them to be unconcerned enough with the situation for her not to intervene. The tallest of the four moved forward, her Staff spinning once before she stabbed forward with the blade at its end taking advantage of its distraction caused by the presence of Luna and Amber and the fact it had memories of their previous battles and was confident that Sabel¡¯s Party together with Mafel was only able to kill it thanks to the addition of Hale¡¯s Holy-Attribute Spells and Jay¡¯s Critical Hits caused by the Skill ¡°Sneak Attack¡±. ¡°[Malevolent Resurgence]!¡± This was not a power it was familiar with as this was a power granted by her Unique Arma that, obviously, it encountered for the first time. All the Curses that the use of ¡°Undying Body¡± rejected concentrated around the Elf¡¯s Staff, converting into Energy before being released. The spiraling, sharp tip piercing its body released a shockwave within it that ruptured its body from the inside out, hastily burning most of its Vital Energy and Mana in an instant and leaving it open for a blade wrethed in Light that swung down violently, cutting it in two and ending it. The two based their strategy on Luna¡¯s battle against it, using its first phase to build up enough power to kill his second one in an instant as otherwise they would be too exhausted to survive its attacks. Sabel fell on her face, too exhausted to move anymore, and Mafel followed suit, causing the Human to cry for help as the Elf fell upon her. ¡°Help me, Luna! Amber!¡± The black-haired begged, her voice raising as her back was under the unconscious medium causing Luna to smile, entertained, as she stepped up to near the two, watching them. The black-haired one smiled in relief at being saved only for her smile to freeze on her face. Luna had lowered herself, posing her elbows on her knees while standing on the tip of her feet, an impish smile on her face, as she poked her still aware Mate on her cheeks again and again. Amber facepalmed at feeling the Lunarian¡¯s enjoyment, joining her Mates before deciding to enjoy herself too, sitting down and posing the former Boss¡¯ head on her laps, petting her. Once Luna satisfied her desire for entertainment she lowered herself, cut her tongue with her fangs before kissing her trapped Mate and using her own blood as a medium to fill her with enough Vital Mana to suppress her exhaustion and restarting her Recovery before doing the same with her other Mate. Mafel slowly woke up from her unconsciousness, finding herself opening her eyes to her blonde Mate¡¯s thight before hearing her black-haired Mate cries for help to finding her being teased by their most dangerous Mate to her satisfation. She closed her eyes again, posing her head back on her Mate¡¯s legs, relaxing back to the sound and feeling of her squirming Mate, deciding to fall back asleep. Sabel squeaked at her abandonment at the hands of her Mate before rising her eyes to meet the cruelly shining eyes of her red-eyed Mate, a despairing breath escaping her under the amused gaze of Amber that decided to enjoy herself by playing with the taller of the four¡¯s hairs while waiting for the two to recover fully.

Chapter 45 10/6 10:01 (Autumn, Day, Sud Midrar, Undead Dungeon) Luna, once she was satisfied and her Mates finished recovering, moved to recover the Magicule Crystal, playing with it shortly before enveloping it within her own Vital Mana and Black Blood and shattering it herself curiously. As the Magicules were released from it, of the 10000 contained within it, 3000 of them were quickly absorbed between her three Mates while the remaining Magicules tried to disperse. The Lunarian narrowed her eyes in concentration, the fleeting Magicules stilling as her blood and Energy forcefully condensed them into a very small sphere, sphere that she brought to her mouth before she devoured it. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°Enhancement: Status Effect¡± E Expands because of the effect of ¡°Devouring Evolution¡±. She smiled, her fangs shining slightly, at the success of her trial before turning to her Mates. ¡°Well, let¡¯s go team. We still have a couple of Floors to clear.¡± The Lunarian exclaimed before turning to the Gate leading further to the depts of this Dungeon. Her Mates followed after, Luna moving in front and Amber in the back to make sure both Mafel and Sabel, the most fragile of the four, would be protected in the incoming Floors from both enemies and traps. The four crossed the Gate without any remaining hesitation, finding themselves in a dark corridor, various skulls entombed in the walls and flooring and illuminated only softly by sparse candles high in the cealing illuminating screaming skulls and bones that seemed to be trying to escape from the wall. Luna didn¡¯t hesitate, cutting with her nails her own nail as her Black Blood spilling forth before spreading around her in a fine mist moving with the four to try and find any Monster in advance. Amber quickly observed the area around them, her wings emanating enough light to illuminate the area around them, however she found no trace of any Monster around them even with her ¡°Heat Sight¡± active, deciding to instead observe the Black Blood around them, trying to seek any irregularities in its temperature in vain before clicking her tongue in irritation. ¡°Hey, Mafel. What Skills do the Specters in this Floor have?¡± Amber asked. ¡°The most important ones are ¡°Undying Body¡± D and ¡°Null Presence¡± D.¡± ¡°In that case the blood will be useless to find the Ghosts as they will not interact with it until they personally attack.¡± Luna noted calmly concentrating then on finding traps. The four proceded carefully, eyes trailing all around them carefully, as they went deeper and deeper in. Without any word various layers of blood solidified, floating over what looked to be normal pieces of the floor, pieces in which she found an irregularity when it comes to their height, as they proceded carefully, Luna in front for very simple reasons. First, Lunarians were made with naturally high defensive capabilities between Resistances and regenerative capabilities with her additionally being the most skilled of the four when it comes to fighting. Second, even if not rare in this specific group, she had no problem with the low light level of this Floor and had very fine senses in general. Third, she had the highest weight of the four even considering Sabel¡¯s leather armor and Mafel¡¯s much greater height thanks to being a mix of tall, curvy and muscular, and so where she stepped it should be safe for the other three. Luna carefully proceded, every single one of her steps measured, with her Mates stepping only over the floor she herself was stepping on. Her blood preceded her, pressing against the ground before her own steps, as she stepped over the trap with no reaction nor did it trigger once the other members of her Party passed it. This process repeated for the next trap before the four of them finally were sure something was off. ¡°Mafel, did you ever enter this Floor before?¡± Amber questioned the former Monster. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t.¡± She answered, confused. ¡°This is the Floor the previous you was a Boss to, right? Is it possible that they aren¡¯t attacking or showing themselves before you are with us?¡± ¡°They shouldn''t. They should attack normally. I don¡¯t know why they aren¡¯t right now.¡± ¡°Strange.¡± The four proceded, passing another trap indisturbed, and doing the same with a further one. Or at least Luna and Sabel did but as Mafel walked past the trap, it activated on its own, sending a bolt of solid steel straight towards her head. The moment said bolt passed the mist of blood, both Luna and Amber reacted. The Lunarian moved to between the Elf and the incoming bolt and the Phoenix, thanks to her greater physical power derived by the increase in power, swung her Unique Arma cutting it in two. The Human attacked, sending a ray of light back, but nothing reacted or was wounded. Sabel clicked her tongue, her eyes narrowing into focus, as she searched the area around her. Luna released her Aura fully, indiscriminately attacking any and everything around her that wasn¡¯t her Mates, objects included, to kill or at least wound the Specters in the hope that this brute-force way would surpass the anti-Targetting effect of the Innate Skill ¡°Null Presence¡± D; and Amber followed suit, her own Aura blazing violently and mixing with her Mates. The heat spiked violently, Luna breathing in deeply a couple of times, before she directed her Vital Mana to her Aura, using as a blueprint the adaptation of her ¡°Enhancement: Status Alteration¡± she gained thanks to the Undead Abomination, forcefully actualizing its effect on the area all around the four. The air in the room violently bursted into flames, the roar filling the space around them except for immediately around the four Mates. ¡°I gained no Vital Energy or Mana, it did not hit any Monster.¡± Amber confirmed thanks to her Innate Skill ¡°Energy Siphon¡± activated throught the flames previously generated by the two working together. ¡°None of them are in this room, meaning that there is another one connected yet separated from this one. Not only that but the hole the bolt came from doesn¡¯t exist. At least not anymore.¡± Luna affirmed, her Black Blood pushing against the wall yet finding no give in any part of it. Sabel moved to the slightly higher step before stomping down on it to no effect. ¡°This is not a pressure plate, it¡¯s a fake to build a false sense of security if someone notices it.¡± She exclaimed, light starting to sligthly emanate from her body, before she quickly rejoined her Mates. ¡°In that case¡­¡± Luna¡¯s Aura exploded, filling the room completely and pushing against the entirety of the walls around them, searching for any flaw or incoming attack, while straining her five senses to the limit. Thing she quickly found as a hole in the wall opened to launch another crossbow bolt from a completely different direction than the previous one. As a conseguence, her Aura filled the additional room completely, spelling the Monster¡¯s death while the bolt was deflected by Sabel. While the Specters of this Dungeon could not be directly Targetted for an attack, this didn¡¯t matter to their Aura as this was not an attack but equivalent to an enviremental effect, thing it was not Immune to, as Luna absorbed it completely. *Luna Gained the Innate Skill ¡°Enhancement: Senses¡± E. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°Presence Suppression¡± C Expands thanks to ¡°Devouring Evolution¡± D. The red-eyed one nodded, satisfied at her gains, before the four proceded without any further hesitation carefully. And as they walked, the floor underneath the four vanished suddently. Amber opened her wings with enough force and speed to create a shockwave behind her before floating down, Sabel used her sword and her feet to slow her fall enough for the Phoenix to grab. Luna instead accelerated further, grabbing the Elf while in fall before opening wide her Wings stopping herself in mid-air and releasing a destructive beam straight under them, in the vane hope of killing the culprit of this trap. She clicked her tongue, moving upwards to return to their previous room only for the hole to close before they could move back. Luna looked on in displeasure before making it known to said colprit by releasing a wave of destructive Energy that filled the corridor in its entirety, quickly destroying anything that wasn¡¯t a Fixed part of the Dungeon, including the wall that functioned as temporary roof for them, also erasing in the process another Specter momentarily in the corridor. The four quickly returned to the previous one and instead of walking, Luna simply started to float forward, her Wings and a suit of Armor forming around her, holding her afloat. She simply decided to ignore the ground entirely, all the while still holding her Mafel in her arms and Summoning the entirety of her Familiars in full within various feathered serpents flying around the four of them, keeping an eye on all around them while a Barrier fused with their Auras surrounded them all, growing stronger and stronger. She wasn¡¯t satisfied, however and as such her next move was only natural in her opinion while being in actuality completely insane. Her Aura blazed higher and higher, completely filling the Barrier and going even beyond that to the point of burning her own Vital Mana and Black Blood as fuel for the creation of more and more Aura. Finding no more space to fill and the three Mates being protected by their Mark and Amber¡¯s own, it filled to the brim the Summoned Familiars until they, in response to the rising stress, started to emit their own independent Aura. The scream being released by the Lunarian¡¯s mouth intensified in a roar, a shockwave emanated in an instant from around her as the Aura melded into a single one, the air around them trembling and distorting around them. *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Unleash Aura¡± D Increases to C-Rank. The Barrier around them vanished into nothing before forming again, stronger than ever before and much more precise in its protective power. ¡°Let¡¯s go, girls. It¡¯s no time to dwaddle now, is it?¡± The Lunarian laughed, stepping forward without hesitation. Amber and Sabel followed, the first warily watching her Mate while the second simply stared at the Familiars swimming in the air around the four full of curiosity before moving towards one of them and starting to pet it, enjoying the warmth it emanated. The red-eyed one smiled at her more excitable, satisfied, before turning to the one still resting in her arms that was on her own, her eyes glazing at her Mate in wonder as she was actually able to feel the Soul all around them, embracing them. Traps were triggered, bolts and rain of various liquids falling on them causing no issues as their Auras simply and violently deflect all of the attacks. Luna stepped forward, false walls shattering all around them because of the Aura that was constantly being emanated by the Vampiric one, until they found themselves before the Boss Room. This was quite simple for the four of them considering how the Monsters of this Floor were entirety incompatible with direct fighting and the traps of this Floor were useless against someone that could fly while still having a constant Barrier around themselves capable of killing the fragile Specters, to her satisfaction.

Chapter 46 10/6 10:32 (Autumn, Day, Sud Midrar, Undead Dungeon) The four Mates found themselves in a vastly different Boss Room than the previous one, being covered by a dome made out of bones and with no apparent Boss or source of light actually there. The Human didn¡¯t hesitate, Casting a very basic Light-Attribute Enhancement on herself to illuminate the area immediately around her, the Demon Phoenix and the Spectral Elf worked together, combining the Holy-, Curse- and Fire-Attribute with the Unique Skill ¡°Piercer¡± and the Innate Skill ¡°Holy Curse¡±, creating a Barrier around the three of them against the Boss and to support Amber¡¯s Aura. And yes, three as the Lunarian simply moved forward, her Armor and Familiars both being Dispelled at once while her Unique Arma Manifested around her forearms and forelegs before her blood completed said Armor, her Familiars being Summoned within it in an instant and without any waiting. Their densely packed Aura flared once before condensing in a small layer around their combined form, a vibrant mess shifting between all possible colours, while destructive rainbow-colored Energy irradiated from her body. Silence stretched on for a couple of terribly long-feeling minutes before seven ballista bolts from different directions rained down on Luna and this last one¡¯s eyes, previously closed shut, opened wide. Her Aura exploded, forming various tentacle-like limbs that grabbed the incoming attacks before instantly throwing them back covered in her Aura, her tail opening in a snake¡¯s mouth and releasing a beam of energy while the sharp feathers of her wings were sent all over the Boss Room, trying to wound it enough to force its ¡°Null Presence¡± to deactivate. However, not only was this ineffective but for some reason she found herself being picked off the ground by a strange force and thrown towards the Barrier surrounding her Mate, trying to either use it to hurt her or force them to Dispell it to protect the Lunarian. But this was far from the white-haired one¡¯s first fight and consequently her Wings transformed into six different tentacles that launched backwards, taking advantage of the fact that this Room presented walls and somewhat of a roof, to press against them and keeping herself in place against the force that was trying to force her back. ¡°How is it possible?! The ¡°Possession¡± Skill should not have been able to do all of that in so short of a time.¡± Mafel, well aware of what the Boss should and should not be capable of doing, exclaimed in surprise. Almost in response to her words, nine different ballistas fired on the Lunarian at once from different directions than the previous ones, taking advantage of the fact that her mobility was quite a bit restricted fighting back against the force trying to throw her at the flaming barrier. The red-eyed one didn¡¯t hesitate, her Aura forming into three chain-like tendrils that deflected most of the incoming bolts before finally grabbing the last two of the nines and bringing it closer to herself for inspection. Said bolts were made entirely out of a single mass of bones and having glowing Runes inscribed on the entirety of its surface and probably even deep within it. Next she took its shaft and broke it in two near its tip upon her knee, confirming her hypothesis on its constituition and the way they were built, in this case being constructed automatically following a simple blueprint. And in this case the Runes had the intent on letting the bolts phase throught the wall, more precisely they were made to pass through all corpses, Undeads and Items derived from formerly living Beings to ignore both the Wall, Monster-derived Armors and Shields and possible Undeads within the Room to only strike Living Beings, Beings that in an Undead Dungeon can always be considered as Enemies. She quickly memorized the Rune¡¯s pattern in both of the bolts before destroying both bolts layer after layer, memorizing all the Runic patterns written upon and within it. Once done with this process, quick because of her perfect memory, she dropped the spear-sized bolts to the ground, her interest in them satisfied. ¡°Hey, Mafel. How many ballistas did the past you have? How long would it take to recreate ammunitions?¡± ¡°It had 25 and around 20 seconds each ballista to recreate a bolt, why?¡± ¡°To be sure. The current Boss probably only has around 20 of them and would need at least 25 seconds. Not only that but it doesn¡¯t have the Skill ¡°Possession¡± at D-Rank like the previous one did, instead it has the Skill ¡°Telekinesis¡± at E-Rank which would explain how it launches them and is holding me in place at the moment.¡± ¡°Telekinesis? Are you sure?¡± Amber questioned, surprised and worried because of the implication of this Skill but Luna herself was certain of it and, almost as if to want to demonstrate her correctness, the force upon her body instantly inverted, launching her away from her Mates and right towards two bolts trying to impale her. She immediately released a burst of Aura and Vital Mana underneath herself to jump over the twin bolts, grabbing the two with her hands before precisely throwing back covered with her Aura in the same movement, trying to damage not the Spected but the ballistas themselves. This tentative failed confirming for her that the Ballistas moved right after firing considering her own immaculate aim. The force on her immediately changed directions but this time she simply rejected being moved, controlling her Armor and forcefully keeping it, and conseguently herself, in position even with the ¡°Telekinesis¡± pressing against her. She closed her eyes in concentration, pushing all of her Senses, both biological and Skill-based ones, to the limit to fell any change in the area around her. Finally her tentacles moved, grabbing four more darts out of the air, coating them in her aura, and then launching three of them back in slightly different directions from the ones they were shot from, earing well how one of her projectile struck its mark in full, breaking at least for a while one of the ballistas. The force imposed on her repeatedly changed direction, trying to confuse and distract her but she didn¡¯t let herself be moved from her spot thanks to her control over her own blood, both within her own body and her Armor. Not only that but she continuously and indiscriminately attacked everything around her thanks to six sharp Tentacles, her Tail and her Wings with three Aura whips thanks to her increased control over her Aura caused by the C-Rank of her ¡°Unleash Aura¡± Innate Skill. She planted her feet solidly on the ground, joining together her hands, a Bow taller than she was forming in her hands, and, making sure the Boss would not be able to interfere with her next shot, she nocked the fourth harpoon-like dart as if it was an arrow. ¡°[Parallel Arrow].¡± The so-called arrow was launched, one at either side of it made entirely out of Energy following suit. The three arrows, one real and two exact duplicates, passed right throught the wall of bones, destroying two different ballistas at the same time. ¡°Three down, around 17 to go.¡± She confirmed to herself, her Aura grabbing another bolt from the sky and firing it, and two duplicates, with her bow soon after, striking this time all three of her targets. She had, after all, already adapted to the manner in which the ballistas moved and guessing their position relative to each others was child¡¯s play at this point. To add insult to injury she manipulated her Black Blood to form a long spear-like Arrow with a runic pattern of Vital Mana, moving her Vision to within it, that she then shot forward in an instant. The Arrow ignored the wall completely as it destroyed the ballista before the worst possible event for the Boss happened caused by the fact that the moving ballistas were in a single room and moving utop railways and then the Arrow became a Viper as it destroyed the rest of the ballistas. Soon after her Familiar returned to within her Armor, the force emitted by the Specter¡¯s ¡°Telekinesis¡± Skill changed immediately from trying to throw her around to trying to crush her. Luna narrowed her eyes before grinning, a savage light in her eyes. She immediately released her Aura at full power in a violent explosion that filled the entirely of the Boss Room, well aware that the intensifying of the pressure showed how the Boss itself needed to be closed to herself than before, in range of her response. And thanks to said response, the Lunarian found her prey. The Skill ¡°Null Presence¡±, deactivated thanks to the not inconsiderable amount of damage she just dealt it, revealed the Undead Monster that quickly was blasted with as many Status Alterations as she possibly could before she punched it all over its body with hands covered in Aura again and again, each blow releasing a burst of Energy in tandem with it. The Specter twitched a couple of times as it slowly floated to the ground under the merciless gaze of the Vampiric one, her hands holding its head firmly as its ¡°Telekinesis¡± was shut down because of the series of attacks. Without waiting or hesitation of any kind, and elliciting a wince of simpathy from Mafel, she pulled back her left hand upon which a drill started to quickly spin before she thrusted it right into the other¡¯s head before it exploded into a wave pf destruction that shattered its body in an instant. The Magicule Gem of this Floor appeared and the four absorbed its power, 10.000 Magicules each while the 60.000 that would disperse were forcibly absorbed by the red-eyed one without hesitation, increasing her Latent Potential even further before they proceded to the next Floor. *Luna Gains 10.000 Magicules. *Luna Gains the Ability Skill ¡°Divine Power¡± E-Rank. Status Total Magicules 122.908 Total Grade VI Stored Magicules 3.735 Magicules a Day 440 + 1.000 + 500 = 1.940 Final Grade: (VI + VI) + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + IV + V = LXXVI (76) Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k.

Chapter 47 10/6 10:34 (Autumn, Day, Sud Midrar, Undead Dungeon) The four of them proceded forward, even deeper in the Dungeon, reaching the Third Floor together for the first time and more precisely a circular room. Differently from the previous one, this one was properly illuminated letting the four Mates view the kind of Room it was. Before them was a group fifteen large of D-Ranked Undeads, composed of five Undead Abominations, three Liches hidden at the back, four Giant Zombies wielding differents armor and shields even bigger than their immense, over ten meters tall, stature and three two-and-a-half meters high Skeletons armed with large and long bows with a quill containing bone arrows inscribed with softly glowing Runes. There was no need of a genius that already saw it before to figure out that the arrows had the same effect as the bolts shot in the previous Boss Room. A sense of foreboding emanated by Mafel followed soon after by a mental warning thanks to their Marks, leading to Sabel jumping away from where she previously was as a bone bolt pierced the air where she just was. After the previous Boss fight, the Rank of her ¡°Spiritual Gaze¡±, a Skill similar to the True Dragon¡¯s ¡°Soul Sight¡±, increased allowing her to see the Runes inscribed within the bolts themselves. Luna¡¯s Aura exploded, taking advantage of her newest Skill, ¡°Divine Power¡±, to deflect the bone spikes sent by the archers towards them away from the four and towards the general locations of the ballistas moving in a room beneath their own as indicated by Mafel. Amber¡¯s Aura followed suit, expanding at full force while her Mate bore the burden, the Giant Zombies in response roared, a small amount of Mana being spent by both to create two Barriers around the three Liches with different purpouse, deflecting physical and magical blows directed at them to the two armored ones. Arrows were launched immediately by the archers and the Phoenix moved forward in an instant, her Unique Arma covered in flames flashing out and subseguently she swung straight throught the arrows, cutting them in two. Luna concentrated on protecting their Mates in the meanwhile, her own Senses pushed to her limits while she used her ¡°Divine Power¡± throught her Aura and the Black Blood mist around her, deflecting any incoming attacks. Mafel would normally start Chanting for an Holy-Attribute Spell to support her allies however she needed to concentrate on the ballistas beyond this Room to make sure none of them would be taken by surprise by unseen attacks. Sabel started to channel her Mana around her, generating light thanks to Mafel¡¯s and Luna¡¯s previous teaching about Magic in general, concentrating it around herself and her sword, her Bracelet shining slightly around her wrist. After all they decided their roles before even entering the Dungeon itself without the use or need of any words. Amber launched herself at one of the D-Ranked Undead Abominations without further hesitation, thrusting her sword wielded in her left hand clad in fire into its head, charring him from the inside out before she formed a fireball in her right hand that she slammed into it, causing a golden explosion. She moved on, her Aura continuously sapping the dying Abomination she left behind of its Vital Energy and Mana while moving towards her next targets, fireballs flying from her beatings wings towards all the Undeads in the circular room they found themselves in. The Demonic one mercilessly punched one of the Giant Zombies¡¯ shield, it stepping back a couple of times to deal with the force of the impact before it moved forward again, launching the woman back, this last one spinning a couple of times in the air before landing precisely on her feet. The blonde breathed in a couple of times before exaling a wave of fire, forcing the two shielders to step in the front to block the destructive wave for their more fragile allies, continuously roaring in order to create a wall of force before them with the purpouse of blocking Amber¡¯s attack. The Skeletons drew back their arrows before shooting right throught their guards without any hesitation, their arrows phasing both their bodies and armor, they too made entirely out of bones, and Amber decided on her own to grab two out of the four arrows, launching them towards Luna for this last one to analyze them before destroying all the others with a mix of flames and sword swings. All the while the Liches continued to Chant undaunted and indifferent to the battle in progress around them. Amber¡¯s Aura exploded at full power, the air in the room itself starting to violently lit ablaze with her not showing any reguards for her Mate trusting them, more specifically Luna, to be able to handle it without any issues. Luna¡¯s Aura safely coated her Mates while she herself was busy analyzing the Rune pattern and the difference between the arrows and the bolts, memorizing them, before sharing the information with Mafel considering how she already had a ¡°Runecraft¡± Skill. Subseguently she made a couple of True Spears floating around her manipulated by her newest Skill, inscribed with a Runic Pattern both on and within them derived by the one she just examined, that she then threw towards the ballistas indicated by her Elven Mate, those that were preparing to shoot her Mates from underneath the floor before they even could. Amber instead seemed almost to dance, the flames following her movements gracefully as she relentlessly attacked, fireballs forming around her briefly before they exploded, filling the room with heat and fire while Draining both the Vital Energy and Mana of her enemies, Vital Energy and Mana she slowly and carefully combined into Vital Mana within her own body. In a burst of speed she exploded forward, a flaming trail roughtly following her movements, as her sword swung again and again, the shield of one Zombies being battered continuously, forcing its wielder to step back lightly with each blow while shielding itself from the following explosions. The Liches finally finished Chanting at this moment, Casting their combined Spell with a wordless, silent roar. Curse-Attribute Mana exploded, the three Liches shattering under its weight as they sacrificed their lives to fuel the Spell, and said Mana raged out of control for an instant before it coalesced into a great Gate, the shards of bones floating in the air before condensing into a single skeletal figure slowly manifesting in the Dungeon. The World of Gaea was overlayed with a semi-Plane, the so-called Divine Plane where Gods resided, and nine different actual Planes from which the Attributes found their origins. Only two type of Beings could be Summoned from the Attribute Planes, the Spirits, a Race composed entirely out of masses of Attribute Energy with Sentience. This Gate however was not for a Spirit but for a member of the other type of Beings that could be Summoned from the Planes, an Elemental, a wild mass of Cursed Energy coming from the Planes of Grudges in this case, using the bones as a temporary Vessel for its might until they would inevitably shatter. The shards formed a long serpentine skeleton while the Curse Energy fled from the Gate, coating the bones in it before the now flying mass of purple acidic Energy released a silent roar. The Barriers formerly around the Skeletons were devoured in an instant, forming additional fuel for the newly Summoned Grudge Elemental before it enveloped the Undeads without any resistance the following second, their flesh melting down in an instant while their bones shattered into dust before proceding to add to its Vessel, it growing further stable. Amber twitched, her eyes narrowing in focus at her opponent, before with widening eyes jumping to the side, the place where she was just in attacked in an instant by a wave of Curses, even the Floor of the Dungeon being slowly eroded because of the interference from another Plane. The Phoenix moved back, flames covering her body completely before exploding from her body and towards the temporary manifested Elemental, it flying right trought the wall of flames without any issues before trying to devour the Demonic-blooded one. With an explosion she dodged the mass of Energy before sending back swords made entirely out of fire towards her opponent and then flying back out of range of its answering strike, her own wings beating fast a couple of times and sending a rain of embers upon it. Luna watched from a distance, ready to interfere the moment her Mate was in danger, while her Aura flared before calming down multiple times before it took advantage of the damage the Elemental dealth to the Dungeon Floors to invade the Room underneath this one, destroying and killing anything within it, filling it entirely and starting to slowly build up power. Amber quickly moved all over the room, dodging strike after strike while dancing in and out swinging her Unique Arma clad in concentrated flames, flying slashes raining down on the inhabitant of the Plane of Grudges, trying to shash apart as much as possible of its Vessel to Dispel its Summoning while starting to Drain its Energy. This, however, was an error. Amber dropped to her knees, starting to vomit blood as its violent Energy started to erode her, her organs and even blood slowly starting to rot from the inside out, pain wrecking her body while her natural healing was trying to fight back. The Elemental didn¡¯t hesitate, floating towards the fallen Phoenix and intending on consuming her to increase greatly the Stability of its Vessel and subsequently its time on this World. Upon seeing the incoming mass, she directed her stored Vital Mana to her hands, releasing a violent blaze before her despite the Curse Energy disrupting her use of Energy in general and using for the first time her Unique Skill to increase vastly the amount of damage it would do. It passed throught the flames, more than half of its bones burned badly and some of them even reduced to ashes, but its direction and intent, if so it could be called, were unchanged. As it opened its mouth like frontal part, a wall of solid Aura interposed between them, slowing its progress down to nothing. Luna calmly walked to between her Mate and the Elemental before them, her Aura enveloping it completely before starting to crush it from all over thanks to her ¡°Divine Power¡±, trying to destroy its Vessel directly. The pressure she exerted slowly increasing, forcing it to release more of its power to fight back and accelerating the degragation of its Vessel. ¡°Spirits and Elemental in this World are made out of two components, the Energy composing them and the Vessel. However the amount of power either of the two can manifest depends entirely on the second of the two as the more Energy it uses, the more it is damaged in response. So, what will you do now!¡± She instantly caused the Status Alteration ¡°Charmed¡± in it through her ¡°Presence: Charm¡±. This may seem to be counter-intuitive considering how, while it did not have a Status or a presence in the System, Elemental had an equivalent to Status Alteration Absorption that converted them into more Attribute Energy for them however this was all according to her plan. As more and more Vital Mana was converted into Curse Energy automatically, the burden upon its Vessel caused by the amount of Energy it was composed out of increased in response. Amber rose, the time her Mate gained more than enough for her to finish healing. The Elemental tried to lower the amount of Curse Energy it was outputting but the pressure it was under didn¡¯t allow it to under threat of even more damage to the Stability of the Vessels. ¡°I¡¯m sorry but the affinity between the two of us is terrible for you.¡± The false platitude from Luna was followed by her forcefully filling the Grudge Elemental with Vital Mana again and again as with a final silent roar, its Vessel finally shattered because of the ever increasing stress. The mass of Curse Energy, now without a Vessel, made to explode but the Aura surrounding it quickly compressed it into a small sphere that she brougth to her mouth, opening her jaws before eating it in an instant. Luna twitched a couple of times in pain, before her own Vital Energy finished integrating it into herself. ¡°Well, just the Boss remaining.¡± Luna confirmed. ¡°Why do you think whoever made this Dungeon allowed the Summoning of a Grudge Elemental?¡± Sabel asked, confused about why someone in charge of a Dungeon would Summon something capable of destroying it. ¡°Two possible reasons. Either they don¡¯t care at all about this Dungeon or they are convinced they can Dispell it if necessary.¡± Amber affirmed before Luna expanded on it. ¡°In this case the second. The Spell was altered specifically to Summon an Elemental from the Plane of Grudges. The normal Spell to create a Gate is a general Spell that changes depending on the Mana used as fuel but this one was specificly altered from the roots. Not only that but the previous Floor Boss could probably use its ability to use Telekines to deal damage to it easily, the First Floor could use its Curse Amplifying ability to destroy its Vessel by overloading it and this Floor¡¯s Boss is a Lich with a way to take care of it.¡± ¡°And I suppose no Adventurer spoke about the Summoning of a Elemental because we -¡± Sabel looked at each of her Mates making sure they all knew she was speaking of only the three of them, the former Second Floor Boss turned Person, the Demonic-blooded Phoenix and the Lunarian, more specifically. ¡°- are too dangerous to be left alive.¡± ¡°Probably.¡± The red-eyed one confirmed casually before moving to the Boss Room, causing the one with the most common sense between the four to sigh before she followed in, finding herself in a large throne room. Upon it, rested a great skeleton, golden crown resting upon its head, various bright gems embedded in it, a great purple mantle at its back, a black light armor covering its body, various golden rings around its fingers and silver bracelets dandling around its right wrist. ¡°---¡± A breath escaped it, bright purple flames dancing in its empty sockets as it rose, its left hand closing around a long staff made out of bones from which a pair of skeletal hands grabbed its left wrist to increase the connection between teh two, increasing its Casting Efficiency and Control in general.

Chapter 48 10/6 10:46 (Autumn, Day, Sud Midrar, Undead Dungeon) The Lich stood up, its large and imposing four meters tall body possessing comparable physical abilities of the previous ¡°Giant Zombies¡± even while being only a mass of bones and a Magic-specialized Monster at that, its necklace gleaming slightly because of its movement. The long staff ended in a great, ivory skull with identically bright flames in its own sockets, its mouth opening wide in a silent screech, a shockwave emanating from the staff washing over the four of them while at the same time the Lich itself Casted a second different Spell. ¡°[Famine].¡± Luna¡¯s Familiars vanished in an instant because of the Spell the staff automatically Casted, the Spell [Banishment], the same combination of Spells it would have used to deal with the Elemental if needed. [Famine] was a relatively direct, even if complicated, Curse-Attribute Spell that forces upon all of its Targets the Status Alteration ¡°Hunger¡± in a way similar to ¡°Presence: Charm¡± and similar Skills because of the fact that Curse Elementals and Fire Elementals are the two that damage their Vessels the most and fastest and this Spell would accelerate said degrading. [Banishment], instead, was a No-Attribute Spell composed of three different yet linked effects: the first is the fraying of the bonds of Vessels and body-less Entities; the second was the creation of a Zone with increased Dimensional Walls to negate any possible Summoning from Enemies surrounding this throne room; and finally, the third was an ever-increasing Rejection force upon all body-less Entities within the previously created zone. Luna¡¯s Familiars returned to within her while additionally sealing her ability to Summon them again but the most dangerous thing was the other Spell as demonstrated by both Mafel and Sabel dropping to their ground in pain, hunger assaulting their bodies. Amber didn¡¯t wait an instant, sending forth a wave of fire, using it as a distraction before launching herself at it with drawn sword while Luna instead was manually feeding their Mates by enveloping them with her Aura. ¡°Hunger¡±, after all, was a very dangerous Status Alteration to endure especially considering how it would worsen with time passing and even at its lowest function it would increase the Energy requirements of Arts, Spells and any other action while also weakening the Being. Amber was still suffering its Effects but had a strong enough Existence as a C-Ranked Demon Phoenix to fight for a while but this was not a sustainable effort as she would degrade more and more with passing time. Or at least that would have been the case if Luna didn¡¯t Cast the Spell [Burning Grasp] on her Mate without waiting a second, even if at minimum possible power and landing only thanks to Amber allowing it to, as for Phoenix specifically the act of using their ¡°Fire-Attribute Absorption¡± Innate Skill is equivalent to feeding and the Status Alteration ¡°Hunger¡± is lowered by that and only that. Luna however had no need to consider her own ¡°Hunger¡± and so was free to support Mafel and Sabel, thanks to the combination of the facts that as a Lunarian the act of feeding, drinking and breathing were considered one and the same; because she had a Nullification towards all Status Alterations by her Unique Skill; and, finally and most importantly, because when she was still Scarlet she figured out how to actively evade that specific Alteration without bothering to actually eat. After all while she could drink and eat sweets without any issues, she hated the act of eating itself to the point that even her mostly mindless previous Ghoul self did this process automatically. Amber¡¯s sword fell upon the Lich without any hesitation only to be stopped by a Barrier-covered shield made entirely out of the same Bonesteel, a Metal made out of a combination of iron and bones, as its armor. No, not one Barrier, the Demonic-blooded one noted but multiple Barriers generated by the Skill ¡°Multilayered Barrier¡± as she confirmed with a wave of fire released from her body that was Nullified before ever reaching its target. In an instant the blonde kicked forward, launching herself away from the incoming swing of the Lich¡¯s staff covered in Curse-Attribute Mana, fireballs flying forward with a beat of her wings while a minuscule amount of ¡°Burning¡± Alteration was constantly being applied and subsequently Absorbed by her to fight against the ¡°Hunger¡± Alteration and refuel her Reserves. She quickly glanced at her Mates only to find them close together, Luna sharing her blood with the other two¡¯s mouth by a kiss while her Aura surrounded to three as a defensive measure, seeing her fingers indicating the same place from multiple directions. She obeyed the suggestion without hesitation, her Unique Arma flashing out as a flying slash went forward while simultaneously sending fireballs from multiple directions to try and hit it despite its Barriers and shield both being moved in the way by her skeletal opponent. The Floor Boss moved the shield to block the slash as it was the only attack able to actually deal damage to it, thing that was correct even after it shielded the attack based upon her blade only to become false as Amber used her Unique Skill to grant the ability to ignore a layer of Resistance entirely to one of her fireballs. This meant that the Fire-Attribute Nullification present within the Barrier was degraded to an Immunity. An explosion of fire covered the Lich only for them to dissipate a couple of seconds after, revealing an unhurt one except for a couple of cosmetic scratches, its eyes blazing malevolently towards its opponent. The Lich opened its own mouth suddently, releasing a strident sound that brought her to flinch back in pain at the sound, her ¡°Hunger¡± worsening further for an instant before alleviating as Mafel recovered enough to Cast an Holy-Attribute Sorcery on Amber, increasing her natural Resistance to specifically the ¡°Hunger¡± Alteration. This wouldn¡¯t suddently negate the activated Alteration but it would lengthen the time it needed to worsen further, Amber noted, before Unleashing her Aura at full power immediately around her body without using Luna¡¯s own as support, her blade starting to vibrate as flames condensed immediately around it and causing the air to distort because of the rising heat. Luna noted how the two where preparing to return to their fight before nodding to herself, her Aura starting to pressure Sabel and Mafel while at the same time reinforcing them. Her mind, however, was focused on the Spells that the Boss launched from the start of this battle, analyzing them second after second. Amber didn¡¯t hesitate, jumping back in the fray with a thrust of her sword directed to the other¡¯s skull while fireballs rained down upon the Lich. This last one without any waiting rose its shield to block the sword while its staff Casted on its own a [Fire-Attribute Barrier] to further shield itself from Amber¡¯s fire just in case while trying to bash her head in with its staff. Before she could be hit, the Phoenix kicked forward sending her flying back and evading it while launching a wave of fire from her mouth to serve as a smokescream, confirming that the other had Physical-Damage Immunity and Fire-Attribute Nullification and she was more than able to guess the reason, its pieces of jewelry lowered the magnitude of their Resistance while changing the type of Resistances. Luna intervened, activating the effect of ¡°Presence: Charm¡± on the Lich only for one of its ring to shine slightly before the pink glow of the Status Alteration was shattered by a purple light generated by it, confirming it also didn¡¯t have Status Alteration Nullification considering how it was effected before the interference from one of its rings. Amber didn¡¯t hesitate, trying to take advantage of its brief confusion to jump back in and slash at its neck to decapicate it in one fell swoop but this tentative to end the fight or at least taking the lead, was a complete failure as the Monster dodged the strike by jumping right before trying to smash the skull on its staff on her head while at the same sending a beam of Curse-Attribute Mana towards the three non-combatants to distract the one with the most Fire-Attribute Affinity. This failed because this last one had complete faith in her, or rather one of her, Mates¡¯ ability to deal with the attack continuing on her assault on the Lich, her blade creating red hot lines all over the air as this last one found itself having to hurriedly move as any of her attack could suddently Pierce its Barrier and wound it. Meanwhile the beam it released and the Curse it was imbued with, splashed harmlessly against a [Curse-Attribute Barrier] that Luna casually Casted before this last one started to absorb her Mate¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana, manually using them to create more Vital Mana that she then gifted back. At seeing that the Lich, at the moment still continuously and rapidly stepping away from the swings of the half-Succubus, before releasing a strident yet silent yell, causing the blonde to flinch away in pain as a couple of purple Magic Circles formed in the ground near it. Within the Circles, an empty void showed itself briefly before a long bony hand emerged from both of the Circles, the Spell [Summon Skeleton], a version of an Undead specific Spell. With another couple of silent roars, the Skeletons ripped themselves out of the void from which they were formed from, each of them emitting their own strident yet silent yell. The battle intensified soon after.

Chapter 49 10/6 10:48 (Autumn, Day, Sud Midrar, Undead Dungeon) Amber swung her Unique Arma at the two Skeletons only for one of them to force her to step away as its sword thrusted right for one of her eyes, buying enough time for the other Skeleton, this time armed with a bow, to shot right through the Lich and forcing the Phoenix to move away from the three. This was an error as the two Monster brought the Lich enough time for it to Cast its Spell. A bright purple sphere formed above it before it exploded, releasing a wave of Negativity the next instant that washed over the Lich, the two Skeletons and the four Mates all together. Mafel and Sabel were fortunately unharmed from this attack as Luna deflected the Curses that would have landed on her Mates with her Aura to concentrate them on herself and herself alone, her Nullification being overwhelmed by the triple assault as she trembled briefly as did Amber. Meanwhile the Undeads were not only unharmed even if all three of them were actually Targetted by the Spell itself. Not only were they unharmed but they were also strenghtened further, all that thanks to their Innate Skill ¡°Minus Reversal¡±, an incredibly dangerous one that as a start greatly lowered the Magnitude of Holy Resistance while not only turning Curse Resistance into Curse Absorption but also enhancing the owner¡¯s Existence if they fully Absorb a ¡°Cursed¡± Status Alteration. And differently from the Grudge Elemental of before, there is no chance of the Undeads to die because of too much power as this Skill explicitely and safely Boosted their Existence and Existence alone. Amber roared, a wave of fire released in an instant from her mouth to rain down upon her three opponents only for the Lich to intervene, Casting a Barrier against the Fire-Attribute to once again block the attack to protect its Skeleton guards from the attack and creating an opening for the archer to shot the Demon-blooded one right in the heart. She hurriedly rose her sword, blocking the arrow and being sent flying back, landing on the balls of her feet before launching herself left, dodging a purple beam sent by the Boss before rising her blade to hastily block the sword held by the Skeleton swordman, her legs bending slightly because of the weight of the blow. Her eyes narrowed in concentration, flames fleeing from her mouth as she roared in concentration, her blade sending the Monster flying back as her strenght suddently and explosively increasing. ¡°Good. She started to actually use her increase in strenght following her C-Rank advancement.¡± Luna commented satisfied as Amber moved at speed higher than ever before despite, or more precisely because, of her weakening caused by the Curse. After all now she found herself having to bring to bear the entirety of her power to fight properly despite the Curse¡¯s weakening her body. Amber jumped forward at full speed, even faster than she was just moving with her explosions to the point that she reached the swordman before it could even react, her blade burning brighter and brighter as it fell again and again upon the Skeleton and as time passed, her strenght and speed increased as she started to consciously use her newfound power at her best. At seeing that Sabel didn¡¯t hesitate, her eyes narrowed in focus as she started to push against the Aura around her using the Vital Mana gifted her by Luna and moving it within and around her own body until, a short but very long-feeling two minutes later, her own Aura started flaring violently from her own body before fluidly mixing with Luna¡¯s. This last one, after all, had already mastered how to mix her Aura with others¡¯ thanks to her experience with combining with Amber¡¯s and her Familiars¡¯ own and was more than able to synchronize with Sabel. Following the black haired one¡¯s gaining of her newest Skill, Mafel herself started to imitate her with her own Vital Mana following the memories of all three of her Mates about the use of Aura itself. After all with Sabel¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Status Alteration Resistance¡± in effect on all Allies within her Aura, she had enough concentration to try and copy her Mate¡¯s process. Amber, meanwhile, was concentrating on the Boss and its two followers, at the moment consisting of two Skeletons armored and wielding swords as its previous minions were killed by her, her sword flashing all over the pace as the Curse on her already ran its course and she moved now with even greater speed and strenght than even before. She moved left, dodging a beam of No-Attribute Mana Casted automatically by the Lich¡¯s Staff while it itself was Chanting another Curse, the sixth in total from when the battle started and the forth for this specific set of skeletal subordinates, before responding in kind with a wave of fire to try and disrupt its Casting and the corrisponding Spell. It stopped its chant only for the skull upon its staff to continue on in its place while it proceded to fortify its Barrier against the flames and its two minions jumped out of the way, sending flying slashes at the Phoenix to push her away from the Boss. A purple mass concentrated above the Lich¡¯s head, pulsing before exploding in a wave that would wash over all seven of them. Or at least that is what would have happened if Luna didn¡¯t suddently open her eyes and released a roar, sending forth a pulse of Vital Mana that precisely disrupted the sphere, destroying it and sending a backlash back at the Lich, forcing it to still as Vital Mana coursed throught its body. Amber saw that and more specifically the Lich twitching in pain as flashes of Energy erupted from its body in irregular intervals, its body trembling because of the continued assault. She didn¡¯t hesitate, her lips stretching in a sharp smile as she launched herself at one of the distracted Skeletons, impacting it with a kick followed by an explosion that sent it flying beyond the border of this Floor. A couple of seconds later, it reappeared above it, only to fall an additional 10 meters at high-speed, landing hard on the ground and creating an opening for the one covered in flames to sent a bursting sphere at the occupied Lich. Fortunately for it, the other Skeleton jumped in the way of the attack, shielding it with its own body. The Lich tried to Cast another Spell only for it too to be destroyed by the Lunarian and Energy violently erupting from its body and bringing it to its knees again, a strident yell escaping from its maw. The Skeletons didn¡¯t hesitate, moving in response to its command one towards Luna to try and stop her from interfering with the Lich¡¯s Casting while the other jumped Amber, intending on distracting her and in so doing prevent her from helping her Mates. The blonde merely smirked, confident on not needing to help or even turn towards the three and concentrating on her opponent alone, trusting them to handle themselves, before attacking the sword...man? Swordbone, yes, she nodded to herself, satisfied by the name she just came up with. Luna turned towards the newly named swordbone, her Aura opening slightly to allow it entry before closing down around it hard, forming long tentacles that immobilized it completely while not killing it, well aware of the fact the Lich could not Summon anymore once its limit of two active was reached and the process of Dispelling them would require either time or Energy. However this was not all as the moment after it was captured, Mafel finally Unleashed her own Aura, her Holy- and Curse-Attribute mixing with their Aura thanks to her Innate Skill ¡°Holy Curse¡± as Blessings filled not only Mafel, Sabel and Luna but also the so-called Swordbone and the reason for such was very simple. The Skill ¡°Minus Reversal¡± had a very important and relevant downside. To easily explain it, if you consider the Existence Value of a Being to be ¡°100¡±, Blessings increase that value by, for example, ¡°10¡± while Curses instead lower that value by let¡¯s say ¡°10¡±; however with this Skill, the Value would be ¡°-100¡± and following that, the same Curses of before would render it to the value of ¡°-110¡± while the same Blessing would render it at ¡°-90¡±. In other words, Blessings would actually weaken them instead of strenghtening them. Following that Luna¡¯s Aura filled the floating platform completely, proceding to heal and strenghten all four Mates while weakening all three Undeads thanks to Mafel¡¯s influence. Amber released her Aura fully before severing the Skeletons limbs in an instant and kick it to the ground hard, the Aura forming even more tentacles to immobilize it. The next second the Lich that was futilely trying to Cast, had its Spell destructively interfered with before the Aura solidified around it and bringing it on its knees, smashing its head in the ground hard and forcing it to look up to Luna, the Lunarian¡¯s eyes shining brightly before she rose her left leg and stomping on its head hard, cracks spreading all over its body before Energy violently erupted from it, killing it. The Magicule Crystal appeared in the air and was quickly shattered, Magicules absorbed quickly and efficiently by all four of them. *Luna Gains 10.000 Magicules. *Luna Gains the Ability Skill ¡°Counter-Spell¡± E.

Chapter 50 10/6 10:58 (Autumn, Day, Sud Midrar, Undead Dungeon) *Luna¡¯s Innate Skill ¡°Lunar Resistance¡± E Expands. This was the only thing Luna achieved by absorbing the remaining Magicules that would disperse but it was more than enough for her considering the Skill she learned on her own previously and her increase in Potential left her just a couple of steps away from her desired Rank-Up. She longingly watched the gate to the next Floor before sighing, well aware that even if she herself could probably survive it alone considering how she was actually built for survivability she would not be able to protect any of her Mates and it would take her days to finish the next Floor, long enough to miss Sabel¡¯s birthday. The four left the Dungeon soon after, Luna once outside starting to experiment with the Spell previously Casted by the Lich, the only one she could Cast of those she copied from it, the ¡°No-Attribute Magecraft¡± Spell [Banishment] by repeatedly Casting and Dispelling it, analyzing it until she found a countermeasure against it just in case she would not be able to use her newest Ability Skill ¡°Counterspell¡±. The four Mates moved towards the city, more precisely towards Mafel and Sabel¡¯s mix of house and shop, while praticing with Luna¡¯s newest Skill. Sabel, Mafel and Amber Casted some Spells without any warning to Luna or each other while this last one precisely countered them by using Vital Mana and without causing any backlash to her Mates by using no excess Vital Mana that the amount strightly needed, using her ¡°Authority: Vital Mana¡±¡¯s Sense for Mana alone to guide both the amount of Vital Energy to use and when to use it. Especially considering how thanks to the difference between Vital Mana and Mana alone, she needed a lot less Energy to fight against a Spell than her opponent and this led her to understand the fact that she could without a doubt be defined as a ¡°Mage Killer¡±, considering her ability to Sense Vital Energy and Mana and, if she was willing to bring herself to the brink of unconsciousness, she could simply use ¡°Counterspell¡± while using the entirety of her Vital Mana to inflict an immense amount of True Damage, Damage that would ignore any defensive measures or Resistances. A while later¡­ Sabel felt a mix of amusement and embarrassment, together with Mafel¡¯s and Ember¡¯s disbelief, as they beholded Luna once again found herself in trouble with the same guard as her previous misadventure, before she jumped in to intervene between the two before a fight could happen. ¡°I promise to look after her and make sure she doesn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡± She said only to be rebuffed immediately from both of them. ¡°You aren¡¯t strong enough to stop her.¡± ¡°You aren¡¯t strong enough to stop me.¡± The combined statement from both led to her stepping back, an awkward expression on her face at the truth of said statements before Amber stepped forward, her eyes trying to conceal her own newfound amusement. ¡°I¡¯m going to make sure Luna doesn¡¯t cause trouble in this city.¡± The blonde bore the guard¡¯s judgement calmly before this last one calmly for a couple of seconds before he nodded, satisfied by the combination of her strength and her being much less inherently dangerous than their companion. ¡°Fine but keep her under control.¡± He launched a last bad look towards the red-eyed one while this last one was looking back at the Phoenix, one of her eyebrows raised in a silent challenge and causing a shiver to travel her back. ¡°Oh? You will keep me under control, will you?¡± the challenge in Luna¡¯s tone was evident as she looked at her Mate with half lidded eyes, promising either great pain, pleasure or maybe even both. The Phoenix stepped back, her shiver returning with a vengeance, while Mafel and Sabel both tried to stop their amusements, even if of the two the Elvish one was much more skilled at hiding it of the two, by starting to lead the other two back in the city and more specifically in Sabel¡¯s and Mafel¡¯s temporary home. Once within Mafel¡¯s shop, the door closed behind them, she led the four of them first in room where she met her clients and then moved away one of the curtains revealing what looked to be just a normal wall before she posed her left hand on it and pulsing Vital Mana she specifically made. The wall shone with Runes briefly, opening up and revealing a dark drop into seemingly nothing even to Luna¡¯s eyes before she simply stepped forward dropping only four meters before a soft landing pad broke her fall. Sabel followed her fearlessly, well accustomed to this method of travel, before Luna launched a look and a smile at Amber as the two soon fell after their Mates noting once they landed how Mafel posed her hand on another pattern on the wall, this time a visible one, that closed the wall behind the four of them. ¡°Wow.¡± Amber commented, watching the complex array of Runes carefully carved in the wall presenting multiple places for the former Boss to place her hands on to cause different phenomens while instead Luna was studying the entrance to the basement, noting how the walls, the pillow and even the door was painted in a black so dark no light could reflect off of it, made with the explicit purpose to fool Dark Vision. Mafel smiled at the attention before explaining while subtly praising herself. ¡°I have a lot of knowledge about Runes from both the previous Boss¡¯ and the Elf paladin¡¯s memories. Not only that but it also converts light into more Vital Mana stored within a battery that helps fuel the entire Runic Array.¡± After a brief pause, she sighed noting the expecting gaze of Sabel. ¡°And Sabel helped me by releasing as much light as she could to help me measure the amount of light that is actually absorbed by the walls.¡± ¡°You kept me up for days to fine tune the Runes, you know? In fact you teached me Sorcery jus for me to help you.¡± Satisfied with her praise, she turned to the amused Lunarian. ¡°Having said that, Mafel is also nearing the C-Rank in her Ability Skill ¡°Medium Comunication¡±.¡± ¡°I see, how impressive. That will be a very important Skill for your growth in the future.¡± Luna complimented, causing some almost visible question marks to form atop the Phoenix¡¯s head causing the Lunarian to turn towards her. ¡°How much do you know about that Skill?¡± ¡°That it allows Mediums to comunicate with dead People?¡± ¡°More precisely, it asks informations from this World about dead Souls. However at C-Rank, a Medium can borrow a single Ability Skill from the World that they could theorically learn or improve one of their Skill by one Rank, up to C-Rank. And by using said Skill, whether improved or gained, they naturally build more proficiency with it, gaining it significantly faster than otherwise.¡± ¡°I see, that will be certainly very useful for you in the future.¡± Amber nodded, impressed. Meanwhile said Medium was looking away in embarassment at the appreciative looks sent her way by her most recent Mate before speaking up to distract them from herself. ¡°The real prize will only be at B-Rank, there is no need for me to be praised. Why don¡¯t I show you two around, after all this is the first time either of you visited this place, right? And I made this as something I would easily be able to bring with us.¡± ¡°A single portable Runic Array, correct? In that case, can you bring me to its Core?¡± Luna. Mafel had no problem with it, leading the three of them to yet another hidden yet confortable room with a perfectly circular stone upon a table, the Runic Core that she could use in case she needed to monitor, modify or move the entirety of the Array if necessary. A luminous circle shone from its carving upon her Keystone, reacting to her Vital Mana and showing the entirety of the Array in an instant and easily allowing Luna to memorize it, her mind proceding to confront it with previous instances of Runes to form patterns and start on understanding the entirety of this Runic Language. Sabel and Amber both instead wandered off to one of the couch in the room, laying down and starting to rest after the day¡¯s stress while admiring the determined expression on Luna¡¯s face. - 10/6 10:59 (Autumn, Day, Yggrar, Guild Headquarters) The Guild Grandmaster, at the moment being a pretty woman with long black hair, was boredly spinning on her chair with nothing better to do before suddently stopping, her eyes moving straight to the door and pressing the Rune on her desk, calling her assistant of the day. Not even a second later, her door opened precisely as her oldest, both in age and time spent following her around, assistant entered her office, standing on attention and Sealing the door behind her. ¡°What is it, mistress?¡± She asked, her azure eyes completely focused on her Boss while her pointed ears searched for any sounds that shouldn¡¯t be in this place, more especially for anything suspicious as shared in their previous and private meeting. ¡°It¡¯s finally done.¡± Stere Hapu cheered, satisfied. ¡°It needs only to be fused together now.¡± ¡°Congratulations, mistress.¡± The blonde calmly congratulated her mistress before moving on the more pressing matters. ¡°Did you finish your homework?¡± A groan escaped the, at the moment, black-haired one. ¡°You are not my tutor anymore, or my maid for that matter. And I don¡¯t need anyone to tell me to do my work, Ladere.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you? What a change. I still remember that cute child running away the moment I showed myself because they didn¡¯t want to study and me needing to hunt and capture them before dragging them by force back to the study.¡± A shudder went throught the Shapeshifter¡¯s back, memories filling her mind of her assistant hunting her down while raining down arrows, Arts and Spells all over the place, before forcefully changing the topic. ¡°I will need to move to my laboratory to recieve its parts and fuse them together.¡± A smile spread on her face.

Chapter 51 10/6 11:06 (Autumn, Day, Yggrar, Guild Grandmaster Private Laboratory) The Guild Grandmaster stepped within her laboratory, her Senses examinating the entirety of it to seek anything off within it, things that certainly wouldn¡¯t be hard to find considering how, upon the closing and Sealing of the room, time is automatically stopped for everything inside. Stere Hapu needed only to remember the state she left this laboratory the last time while controlling both the age of the objects within, confronting them with their age upon her previous Sealing of the room while controlling all of the times her laboratory was opened at all from its creation, searching for any irregularities. Not even ten seconds after this process started, the Shapeshifter finished examining the entirety of the four hundred meters wide laboratory before confronting the age of the objects with each others and with the passage of time from when she herself opened up her lab. Similarly Ladere herself Casted various Spells, both throught Magecraft and Spiritual Magic, to scan the entire laboratory for any other being while closing the door behind them and Sealing it, and them as a consequence, had in a completely separated space. Thing quite easy to do considering how this laboratory was surrounded by the World Tree¡¯s roots and so more than enough Energy was present to passively twist space, time and even Reality itself slightly and it just needed a little push to activate this effect. Once satisfied that her Spells, her five Spirit Lords and both her ¡°Hunter¡¯s Instinct¡±, ¡°Threat Detection¡± and ¡°Enemy Detection¡± Skills found nothing that shouldn¡¯t already be present, she moved to almost the opposite part of it in a separate but important part of this place by, with pure speed alone, crossing almost four hundred meters in a tenth of a second while negating the impact her speed would have had on the area around her at her shattering the speed of sound ten times over. ¡°I see you are feeling lazy today.¡± The Grandmaster commented calmly at her former tutor. And she was mostly correct as normally the blonde would have moved at a slower, even if similar, speed while not damaging her surrounding by using pure skill alone, without Casting any Spell or her Spirit Lords help in safeguarding the laboratory¡¯s equipment. Stere Hapu sighed before smiling, eager to finally complete her pet project, ceasing to Mimic the mental-focused Guild Master in charge of Astrar in favor of one of her more physical B-Ranked Adventurers, her own Existence and physical capabilities increasing, easily reaching her waiting assistant. There waiting for the two was a great, 10 meters of diameter and 1 meter wide circular table with another smaller circular table two meters wide at the exact center, both of them floating while bright crystals illuminating the room from the roof. The currently black-haired woman carefully jumped over the external table and between her steps her shape trembled, turning into a grey slurry that scattered into multiple masses, masses that grew until all eleven of them formed new copies of the Grandmaster¡¯s current form, ten moving in concern and stopping each one before a predetermined section of the larger table while the last remaining one climbed to the top of the central table before nodding to her tutor. Said tutor, a naturally aggressive especially for an High Elf, nodded in response sitting down, entering a Deep Meditation and breathing in deeply once before, as she breathed out, showing off the might of an High Elf as her five Spirit Lord leaving from their previous Vessels within her own body. Five mass of Fire-, Water-, Air-, Lightning- and Earth-Attribute Mana condensed within their own forms, each one of them a slightly altered version of her own body, showing off the depth and age of their Bond, as they moved to between the two tables, each one of them being paired with two of her student¡¯s copies. All ten Copies started to Mimic each a different individual before Stere Hapu¡¯s primary body, as she had no true shape or body, recalled all her copies spread around this World to maximize the reach of her Unique Skill and starting to copy a specific Person; the Number 7, ¡°Magic Queen¡±, intending on using her mastery over all Magic to Cast a Grand Ritual, to actually be reductive in its nomenclature. The black metal forming this entire separated room shifted, following her will, creating a vast complex Runic Array while she retrieved the Magic Items made by her Clones working together with various other Beings. And the final step of the pre-Ritual preparations was completed by Stere retrieving 10 A-Ranked Dungeon Cores, glowing iridescent crystal orbs with a range of one meters, the enormous Offering to Fuel this Grand Ritual. If a E-Ranked Magicrystal is comprised of 10k Magicules; a D-Ranked one of 100k Magicules; a C-Ranked one, one million; a B-Ranked one, 10m; a A-Ranked one, 100m; a Dungeon Core, finally, offers 10 times what an equivalent Ranked Magicrystal would. There were 10 of such A-Ranked Dungeon Cores, floating utop the outer table, presenting a treasure worth 10 billion Magicules and an equivalent amount of Potential. The Doppelganger casted a last, longing look towards the fruits of the lasts two centuries worth of labor, both her own and Ladere¡¯s, containing enough power for her to immediately jump to become Number 7 and vastly increasing her Potential, sighing before starting to Chant, Runes starting to violently glow, the separated dimension of this Room trembling because of the amount of Energy being Channeled. The Cores followed that example, glowing brighter and brighter, before slowly shattering into small mites that started circulating, waves of Energy being constantly released only for them to be deflected by the Runes to further function as Fuel for the Ritual itself. While the eleven Clones were harmoniously Chanting, each one a different one, the Spirit Lords intervened, bridging the gap between Planes to direct and control ever more Energy to the Ritual itself, anchoring it ever deeper into Reality and starting to forcefully Manifest it in its entirety. Hours passed as the Cores finally finished shattering, their pieces condensing in a single perfect and blinding sphere over Stere¡¯s central body, shaking and pulsing with power, the Runic Array constantly changing to balance the immense amount of Energy from the Planes, before finally the Chanting slowed down to a stop. And the moment the central Doppelganger stopped, the orb shattered in an instant releasing a wave across the entirety of this World, a satisfied smile formed upon the Guild Grandmaster¡¯s face before she laughed, glad. This was only possible because the Rules were still unstable. *Emergency Alert. *The Rules upon the World will change. - 10/6 13:09 (Autumn, Night, Dunrar, hidden Dungeon) The nameless Poison Cultivator felt the change on his Status but didn¡¯t bother visiting it as he looked down upon this World¡¯s System, viewing it as vastly inferior to his World¡¯s Cultivation and being too pridefull to use it. The only thing he cared about was its positive effect on his creation, noting the acceleration of his Gu¡¯s birth, and braming the time that it would be born and he would kill his current master. Said master was instead covertly watching him, being disappointed in his lack of intelligence and foolish pride. He, after all, was not the first Cultivator to arrive on this World and being Suppressed by the World¡¯s Rules and a way to survive and even thrive was long since found. A Cultivator just needed to train and grow with the System, adapting to it. In fact he was not even the weakest of the Cultivators that reached this World as the weakest of them arrived at a lower Step that he currently was and by using the System reached Immortality, the Fifth Stage of Cultivation, within ten years of arriving while having like no knowledge of Cultivation. And his visit held immense repercussions to this age as before he left this World, he took the seed of a weeping willow, brought it in a safe island and shared with it his own knowledge of Cultivations. Seed that over the millenia grew to the World Tree, the Living Core of Yggrar. They sighed, their own and their Monsters¡¯ Status already controlled to make sure they didn¡¯t lose any combat capabilities, before deciding to ignore for now the surprising naive so-called Poison specialist. Instead the Dungeon Maker controlled the Sealed androginous Ancestor, making sure the situation was under control, and for the first time using their Authority over Dungeons to force the unresponsive Vampiric being to share with them their newly gained Title, function added with the recent change in the Rules, feeling their Existence, that of their Boss and even that of their Monster increase as they were now the ¡°Subordinates¡± of one of the Top 10. - 10/6 13:09 (Autumn, Night, Astrar) The Iriblades stopped momentarily upon feeling the change in the rules of the World before resume their previous actions, that is to say they restarted their training to adapt to the changes as they were already training in a private and secure room. After all Klevel just increase in Rank and all five of them needed to make sure they mastered the changes caused by the strengthening of his Holy-Attribute Magic and the Guild previously sent a message to all high Ranking Parties to be carefull around this period, evidently reguarding this event. - 10/6 13:09 (Autumn, Night, Midrar) Luna observed this last message, wondering at the culprit behind the change of the Rules and the reason why, eager to know, before turning to her Status, a sharp smile spreading on her face. Her Mates, likewise, were monitoring their own Status, this alert distracting them from their previous conversation. Status Total Magicules 132.908 Total Grade VI Stored Magicules 4.735 Magicules a Day 445 + 1.000 + 500 = 1.945 Final Grade: (VI + VI) + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V + V = LXXVI (76) Racial: Lunarian D Magicules: 10k/100k.

Chapter 52 10/6 13:09 (Autumn, Night, Midrar) The changes were immediately visible to be mostly in the way that informations were shared with the Beings by the System, showing Luna her own Vital Mana Quantity, her own Vital Mana Quality, her Control over it and her natural Recovery; additionally it showed her Affinities, in her case only her No-Attribute Affinity, and her Resistances to both Damage and Status Alterations, things that before she, as well as mostly everyone else, needed to guess at. This alone would not be worth of much attention however the newest Rules changed other very relevant things. First of all, the presence of both the Essence Points, or EP for short, and Existence Value, or EV being similarly shortened, raffigurating one the stability of the owner¡¯s Soul, body and mind while the other represented the Floor the owner operated at, their natural state it could be said. Second relevant change, Skills no longer could store Magicules and Skill influenced by their Grade now were influenced instead by their owner¡¯s Grade while, as Luna tested by swinging her left arm at empty air, their Grades alone influenced now their power even if at a much greater magnitude then before, a way that actually helped out naturally weaker Beings more than anyone else. The third and most promising major change was the new type of Skill presented on everyone¡¯s page, the Title Skills that Luna had as an empty list, at least for right now. And about this list, someone unexpectedly spoke up. ¡°I have a title!¡± Sabel exclaimed in surprise, surprise that grew when, betraying her expectation, none of her Mates had one too, being greatly surprised when all three of them looked at her in curiosity. ¡°Am I the only one?¡± She asked hesitantly at the three pair of eyes stuck on her only to recieve an affirmative feeling throught their Bonds from all three of them, despite the three being much more Unique Beings than herself, a simple Human with the only anomaly being an inherited Innate Skill ¡°Status Effect Resistance¡±, yet of the four she was the only one that had a Title. ¡°Don¡¯t keep us in sospense, what do the Titles do?¡± Amber moved towards her and poking her chest in curiosity again and again, pushing her to answer and satisfy their inquisitiveness immediately. ¡°I have the Title Skill ¡°Adventurer¡±, it doesn¡¯t have a Rank and increase my Essence and Existence by 1%.¡± She finally answered, pulling herself together despite the repeated pokes near a very distracting place in her body. Luna, seeing her reaction, smiled amusedly before moving to the red faced black haired one¡¯s back, embracing her from behind and kissing her Mate on the neck once, enjoying the chaos she was able to cause in her little Human¡¯s mind with so lacking of an effort before commenting her thoughts. ¡°The goal of this Rule Change probably was the addition of the Titles themselves. However it would not make sense if the only Title is a single one, one that increases Essence and Existence alone and only by 1% at that.¡± ¡°I am at C-Rank, a Phoenix and a demi-Demon so we can probably assume that there is no title directly reguarding someone¡¯s Race or Rank.¡± Amber commented, excluding some possibilities, maybe hurriedly but with an high value of certainty in her opinion. ¡°None of us are nobility, so we don¡¯t know if that matters and with a single example of Titles we have no idea behind the criteria of the acquisition of Titles.¡± Mafel affirmed before continuing. ¡°I have no Title derived by my profession as a Medium nor my past as a Dungeon Boss but I believe that actual Dungeon Bosses, or at least the final Boss of a Dungeon, will have one.¡± ¡°The next thing to figure out is the Being responsible for the change in the Rules. The previous change was accelerated by the presence of a Lunarian, even if the Moon does not consider me such yet, on Gaea itself but would have happened by the next Red Moon.¡± Luna expanded. ¡°But the second happened because someone took advantage of the temporary instability after the recent one to enforce a new one.¡± ¡°Changing the Rules is an issue derived by both power and knowledge.¡± Amber expressed what all three of them knew very well before continuing. ¡°We can safely exclude anyone that isn¡¯t in the Top 50 as the massive amount of Energy needing to be Channeled for this phenomena would instantly kill everyone lower in power and at least the bottom half of the weakest ten of them. We can also exclude the Top 5 as while they have the power and the knowledge, certaintly, to do that, they wouldn¡¯t bother.¡± ¡°Number 10 is still in their Sealed Sleep and none of the Vampires currently active knew anything about the incoming change, however a couple of Vampires -¡± And here Luna considered, as did every single Ancestor, Dhampirs to be Vampires. ¡°- in various Guilds, those both high in Rank and trusted greatly by the higher ups, were advised to be free around now. So I suppose Number 9 is either involved or at least aware that something would happen.¡± ¡°Mother is stated to reach A-Rank before the next Red Moon and mom is quite powerfull, a Lust Demon and an expert when it comes to make someone speak their secrets; the two of them would have told me at least something if either of the two knew anything about it at all and it would be hard for them to not know something so important.¡± ¡°Maybe they did know something but they didn¡¯t know it would be important. After all this is the first time the Rules were directly changed by a Person instead of by the World and I don¡¯t believe it would be easy to narrow the possibilities to, well, what happened in specific.¡± Luna affirmed. ¡°In that case our primary suspect would be the Grandmaster, correct?¡± Mafel asked rhetorically before concentrating fully on said Guild Grandmaster, searching through this World¡¯s Records for their intent on altering the Rules or any strange movements recently, moving to their bed and being embraced by Sabel, already waiting there from the very beginning of their conversation. The Human, well accustomed by this point to the mental stress such an in depth search without a relevant Anchor would cause the Elf, started to caress her hair all the while humming a calming song to help her out. The World slowly faded away, the former Boss Monster¡¯s mind falling down, deeper and deeper, the voices of her Mates being muffled ever more as what felt like water fell down upon her, first in dripplets then in intense rain that seemed to drive her down, down to the ground and even further down as the rain became a waterfall trying to drown her under the weight of this World¡¯s knowledge. This was only natural, a Medium normally had an Anchor, that is something belonging to the deceased Person that they are planning on Calling upon, and a Being that is close to said dead to tune the Medium to recieve only the memories relevant to the Being¡¯s questions and safeguarding the Medium from the phenomena she was experiencing right now, being buried under the weight of the World followed soon after by her Soul being drowned in what was colloquially called the Sea of Souls, in what was in some places and time a form of ritual suicide. The pressure increased ever more as the waterfall became first a lake, a sea and then finally in a vast ocean that pushed her down, deeper and deeper, in the cold abyss that was its depth, her senses useless by this point as the massive amount of water drowned everything else out under its enormous weight. Not that the Elf¡¯s senses worked at all as she was no longer in the material World but as a Soul alone and the only reason why she was able to understand the situation around her as she could was because of her Innate Skill ¡°Soul Gaze¡± ereditated by her Specter-Self but this would not matter as it merely meant that she would die being able to observe the reason. Data inondated everything and by sheer quantity alone, even without any hostile intent present at all, threatened to make her Soul forget the direction of her body and mind, trapping the Medium¡¯s Soul within it forever and slowly proceding to dissolve and add her to the Sea of Souls itself well beyond Luna¡¯s capacity to rescue. Fortunately, however, she had no need to worry as demonstrated by how, even or more precisely because she was a Soul alone, Luna¡¯s Mark shone brilliantly in all colours in the same place as on her body, iridescent stars that she could see high in the sky that she alone could see beyond the ¡°surface¡± of this Sea even with the distance between them, marking the way back to her body. The Spectral Elf turned away from her Mate¡¯s directions, looking towards the depth and ¡°swimming¡± deeper. She focused her eyes on the waves of informations, trying to narrow down the waves of data around the period of the last three months, seeking any informations about the Guild Grandmaster. An immense amount of information fell upon her, overwhelming her processing in an instant and slowing down her analysis to a crawl, the process starting in the same way that the World recognize information, strictly cronologically and starting instead from the newest informations to the oldest belonging to every individual at once. Despite the challenge, however, Mafel did not hesitate in starting to analyze the flood of information, her Skill ¡°Soul Gaze¡± rappresented by her eyes, closed off and opened again a couple of minutes later, trying to adapt to the equivalent of being repeatedly forced to look towards the Sun in a process that actually disrupted her analysis. However, around one hour later, her ¡°Soul Gaze¡± Skill sharpened enough for her to deal with the light while she became more effective at dealing with the massive amount of knowledge trying to overwhelm her, allowing her to start searching for her target. The Spectral Elf groaned, her eyes closing as despite her being stronger than before, she only had an increase tollerance to the light, tollerance that had its firm limits as she was right now experiencing a period of intense pain, pain that wrecked her Soul, making her tremble. All the same once the pain receded, she immediately returned to analyze the data as much as she could in as long as possible in a cycle of analysis, pain, recovery and analysis again. Time passed monotonously as her attention started to drift even against her will and her continuous tentative of refocusing, a droning sound reaching her ears, a call, a call that grew progressively fiercer and more insistent, dragging her attention away from the mass of data, a violent challenge and promise at once. ¡°What is¡­?¡± She asked, before widening her eyes in alarm as she felt herself being grabbed and forcefully dragged away from the depth and to the surface despite her efforts. There she saw the three stars rappresenting her Mates, vibrating just a step above the surface, releasing that keening sound and bringing her back to beyond the surface. Mafel opened her eyes immediately, her eyes meeting Luna¡¯s red ones before her lips were pulled in a soaring brief kiss before she looked around herself, noting how both Amber and Sabel were holding her by either side with Luna laying on her, all three of her Mates¡¯ Aura surrounding the four of them and Luna¡¯s Marks shone on their bodies. ¡°Next time, you at least tell me you are going something I can¡¯t bring you back from.¡± Luna commanded, her eyes narrowed before kissing her again.

Chapter 53 10/6 18:12 (Autumn, Night, Midrar) After Mafel separated from Luna, short on breath because of the long kiss, she felt herself wilt slightly under the other white-haired one¡¯s heated gaze, immediately speaking in her own defence. ¡°It wasn¡¯t that dangerous and it would have been very important for us to know how to behave in the future and what Titles mean, right?¡± Luna sighed briefly closing her eyes before pinching Mafel¡¯s arm, hard, dragging a yelp from her Mate. ¡°Except if I was five minutes late in starting to call you back, it didn¡¯t matter what you would have learned as I would have lost you beyond my ability to restore you.¡± Before the Elf could speak further, she felt her face being turned towards Sabel, the Human pouting in displeasure at her. ¡°Remember that time a grieving mother visited us? It was supposed to be just a normal visit except the mother had conveniently forgotten how her baby boy made a Deal with something, probably a Demon, and it gave you a crushing headache lasting three hours straight. You were lucky they did it unintentionally and unknowingly or my presence alone wouldn¡¯t have been enough to bring you back fully.¡± ¡°She what?! When did she do that?! I would have felt it!¡± Luna exclaimed in a mix of surprise and some sort of threatening determination while Amber on the other side of the purple-and-gold-eyed Elf flinched at hearing about a Demon, even if only partially, almost ripping away one of Luna¡¯s Mate from her. ¡°You two were busy at the time with fighting that Ice Dragon and I was able to pull her back on my own very quickly and relatively easily that time.¡± Amber groaned at this knowledge shared by the Human, in furtehr emotional pain as she was the reason the two were distracted at the time. Mafel tried to shut up Sabel only to fail as both the Human and Amber were more than able to block her arms considering how the Elf was the weakest physically of the four and by a not insignificant amount. ¡°It was not that bad¡­¡± Mafel said quietly, her protests slowly being silenced by the looks from all three of her Mates. ¡°She just wanted to speak with her son and I couldn¡¯t even help her¡­¡± She told them sadly, her eyes finally meeting the solid red of the Vampiric one, before this last one sighed and started to pinch the Elvish one on the cheek, making her yelp again. The black-haired one kissed her in the newly-wounded cheek to reassure her before she spoke up to change the arguments. ¡°Do you know what kind of Demon it could have been, Amber?¡± Causing this last one to explain after a brief pause at feeling the others¡¯ honest curiosity. ¡°Well, considering the fact that it probably weren¡¯t only his memories that were messed with but his Soul¡­ I would say this doesn¡¯t exactly reduces our options, depending on their Deal. Demons, Spirits, Gods, Angels and Elementals don¡¯t have a Status like the Being of this World normally but can obtain one given enough time and power. All the same they each have their own way to grow stronger. In particular, Demons gain their power from the Sin associated with them, both in feelings and in actions.¡± At seeing the raised eyebrows and the wondering of her Mates, she coughed once in embarassment before moving towards her point. ¡°Particularly old, twisted or prodigal Demons, if there is a difference between these last two categories, are able to twist every single one of their actions and feeling to suit their Sin. For example a Gluttony one will turn the act of breathing, sleeping and even fighting into an act of Gluttony or at least as a way to ease said Sin. ¡°Not only that but all Demons mess with Souls naturally and while their two Affinities are derived only by their Sin alone, two Attributes are fixed, no Demon has a Holy-Attribute Affinity, all Demons have a Curse-Attribute Affinity. And when it comes down to corrupting Soul, well, any Demon could do that.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Mafel murmured, sad at being unable to find the source of corruption belonging to that individual. ¡°Returning to the previous matter, what happened this time?¡± Sabel asked her in curiosity. ¡°I was only able to analyze one hour of memories in total and they were not only disjointed between each other, none of them were earlier than today or even linked at all to the Guildmaster.¡± She answered, disappointed in herself. Luna sighed before yet again pinching her cheeks, hard, making the Elf yelp and beg for forgiveness. ¡°You do remember that you are not alone, right? In that case there is no reason to risk yourself for to find that out when you can just ask us, no?¡± ¡°But none of you have any particular Affinity -¡± and here Mafel looked briefly at Amber before correcting herself. ¡°- well, Amber probably could but I am not a good enough teacher to, well, train her. And reguarding you -¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s impossible for me to become a Medium. I am not, after all, connected to this World at all but to the Moon and with quite the different function to your own. But you are misunderstanding my meaning. You could simply watch it while sharing the complete memory to me.¡± Silence streched between the four before, hesitantly, the former Boss Monster tried to explain. ¡°The information within the Sea of Soul is, not hidden exactly, but is, oh, what is the term, encrypted, yes encrypted. My ¡°Soul Gaze¡± helps me to translate it faster, sure, but it¡¯s my ¡°Medium Comunication¡± Skill that render it possible at all to translate it so¡­¡± The former Half-Elf sighed while shaking her head in mock-disappointment, as her emotions rendered clear. ¡°How naively direct. You are right when it comes to the analysis, I can¡¯t do it in your place -¡± Yet, she added to herself. ¡°- But I can store that information for you. The reason why you found it so hard to analyze that information is because you were experiencing it while at the same time trying to both remember and translate it. Next time you go to the Sea of Soul, and it better be with the three of us present and aware of it, -¡± The silent warning was heard loud and clear. ¡°- concentrate only on sending the data at me without bothering on translating or remembering it. Then, calmly and safely, you can Translate it from my memory.¡± All three of Mafel, Sabel and Amber knew her very well thanks to their Mate Mark and so were more then capable to understand she had an ulterior motive behind her gesture but they were also aware that she was genuine in her worry and were also aware that its better if they didn¡¯t know the Lunarian¡¯s additional reasons for her proposal. In response this last one would have offered her reasons calmly however the three did not ask and so she didn¡¯t offer her own, that being that by using Mafel¡¯s memories of the Records from the Sea of Souls, the translation of said Records made by Mafel and most importantly the Language that Gaea used for its Records around 63000 years ago, Language that the previous Lunarians already fully Translated, so that she would learn the Language of today. Luna, once satisfied the other understood, layed back down over Mafel and closed her eyes, sending feeling to relaxation to lull her Mates to sleep, well aware that the Elf was mentally and spiritually exausted. - 10/6 18:12 (Autumn, Night, Middle of the Ocean) Sider, at the moment laying down upon the bridge of her boat basking under the moonlight gently illuminating her body, suddently opened her eyes in alarm, her ears twitching a couple of times. As she jumped to her feet, her fingers clenching as her nails and the top of her fingers becoming long claws, her teeth sharp canines, her eyes narrowing in focus and preparing to jump in an attack, her posture lowering like a beast on the hunt as she searched for the prey that deluded herself to be the predator. Her waiting was not long. The water under her boat rippled, violently shaking it and the Werewolf upon it, before she jumped back barely dodging a tentacle larger than even her own 2 meters tall frame that erupted from the water around the boat. Eleven more tentacles exploded from beneath the boat, encircling and grabbing it with force, before this last one was shaked with immense strenght all over, trying to send the black-haired one overboard and right in the water. She immediately jumped high in the sky, dodging the tentacle trying to impale her from behind before noticing the tentacle standing tall before trying to crush her under its weight, pulling her hand back with force, silver crystals briefly forming around it for an instant before she punched it straight on. Said crystals upon contact with the tentacle before her shattered in an instant, releasing a wave of sharp yellow crystals and a wave of force and electricity that pulped the part of it before her in an instant, the top part of it flying in the air before she landed on the bottom half of the tentacle. She turned her attention towards the other tentacles trying to sink her ship, despite this last one being built for her private use and as such was more than able to last a while against the attacks of even very powerful Monsters especially if she helped defend it. Before she could do this last thing, however, the tentacles upon which she temporarily landed writhed violently before from the wound emerged small fanged worm-like tentacles that tried to knot around her feet to immobilize and subseguently devour her, either whole or in pieces, stealing her attention. Sider¡¯s silver eyes narrowed in obvious hostility, a snarl forming on her face before she forcefully rose her left foot, being briefly covered in the same crystal as before, before stomping down and destroying even more of the tentacles, small pieces raining down upon the ship. Two more tentacles moved in, trying to crush her between them only for the Werewolf to groan in displeasure, her month twisting in displeasure before she released a loud howl, various shockwaves repeatedly being released and stopping the two tentacles long enough for her to adjust to being mid-air before causing an explosion right before her, sending her flying to the ground. Once she landed on her naval vessel, she turned her sharp eyes towards the shreds of the tentacle she previously shattered, noting how they were trembling and rippling before exploding into worm-like Monsters? No, they weren¡¯t proper Monsters but part of the greater whole that was even now trying to sink her present, causing an even more ferocious expression to form on the Amazon¡¯s face. ¡°You will regret this!¡± Her hands sprouted dense black fur as her claws enlarged while her teeth sharpened and her hairs spiked up even more in an unconscious threat display.

Chapter 54 10/6 18:21 (Autumn, Night, Middle of the Ocean) Sider¡¯s body was quickly enveloped by Lightning-Attribute Mana, frying the worms that tried to bite into her and those immediately around her beyond their ability to regenerate. The Werewolf scowled further at seeing a tentacle moving away from her boat and towards the part she previously pulped, grabbing it from the water and bringing it back to the boat before she opened her mouth, electricity starting to condense deep within her throat before she closed her mouth, breathing in deeply and releasing a yellow shockwave together with her howl. The vermins nearest her were burned and crushed while the ones farthest from her were merely sent flying from her boat landing on both other tentacles and the sea around her boat, well aware that this last thing was made such to be not only unharmed but was able to channel the little noble¡¯s attack into itself to fuel its own barrier. Barrier that was sent into overdrive upon this flaring of power, releasing a pulse of power that charred all the nearby vermins even if the greater tentacles were unharmed. Upon seeing such the black haired woman scowled even further before deciding to activate the Innate Skill ¡°Enhancement: Physicality¡±¡¯s Active effect, causing a silver glow to emerge from her body before it receded, leaving behind as the only change from before that her eyes now glowed an intense silver light. She bent her knees slightly, her force pressing down on her ship slightly before launching herself forward using her newfoundly increased physical ability to land straight on another nearby tentacle, her right hand closing around what was previously empty air but was now occupied by her weapon of choice, a large two-handed, two-sided axe made of incredibly highly compressed black stone. Some may wonder at the fact that the axe was blunt but the reason for such became obvious when Sider¡¯s typical by this point yellow crystals formed along one of its blades. She didn¡¯t wait further, swinging her weapon horizontally with the entirety of her strenght. A sharp shockwave emanated in an instant, the top of the tentacle falling in the sea below them as a section one meters tall was completely destroyed while the tentacle twiched violently, electricity coursing throught the newly formed wound. The Werewolf held her axe comfortably on her shoulder, the crystals shattered to release the previous blow, before jumping back down to land on her boat for an instant and launching herself towards another one of the tentacles, her axe rotating once and leaving behind a circle made entirely out of electricity that then shortly after proceded to crystallize into a floating yellow ring that started spinning towards her. There was no earth near Sider after all and so she was forced to improvise. A spike of yellow crystal formed between her axe¡¯s blades and she thrusted it deep within another one of the tentacles, the crystal exploding into a directed wave of electricity that blasted a hole straight through it, charring the flesh around it, before stretching out her left hand and catching her previously created crystal disk. Spinning in place once, Sider threw her temporary weapon at full force towards a faraway tentacles before snarling, noting how all the tentacles she previously damaged had already fully recovered. Not only that but she noted with a vast amount of rage how one of them was trembling before finally splitting in two, a couple of fanged maws opening as did small, empty white eyes covered by transparent protective membranes opened all over the now thirteen tentacles. Her giant circle chakram made to reach the Hydra-like Horror of the Depths only for its eyes to open wide, beams of light being released in an instant to prematurely detonate it while it was still mid-flight. Sider clicked her tongue in displeasure before jumping away from the hole in the tentacles that started to close around her, well remembering the stories from her father about what happened to people trapped within the body of an Horror of the Depths and wanting nothing to do with it. She fully transformed her left arm, her muscles expanding even with their already high density and quantity while a thick black fur covered them and her nails becoming sharp claws in a partial transformation made easier by her Innate Skill ¡°Enhancement: Transformation¡± while strengthening the result itself. Her axe spun once, lightning following it before concentrating in a sphere that exploded in a dome of electricity that blocked the rays of Evil Light released by the Mutated Horror, shielding the noble. The Werewolf breathed in deeply once, lightning sparking in her mouth before she howled, releasing another blast of electricity that confused the acquatic Monster¡¯s senses briefly, buying herself enough time to create some more of her yellow crystals around her axe. The water churned more and more violently as the tentacles started to thrash around, battering the boat from all directions and even trying to squash the Werewolf under their weight. Said Werewolf was moving all over the place, releasing bursts of electricity together with her howls to fuel her ship¡¯s shielding and to Shock the marine Monster, only for it to Recover pratically immediately after the Status Alteration landed, barely being able to buy her enough time to survive, especially once its eyes started to glow and released rays of Evil Light, a product of the combination between the Light- and Curse-Attributes similar to her own exposive Thunder Gems, made using Lightning- and Earth-Attribute together. Having understood how she wouldn¡¯t be able to last long if the situation continued this way, Sider triggered her transformation even further with the Innate Skill common between the Werewolves called ¡°Form: Humanoid Wolf¡±, even with the backlash she will suffer because of fully activating this Skill without the presence of a full Moon. Normally Werewolves were no different from their Beastkins brethrens when it comes to their physical characteristics outside of their transformations and on average an adult Werewolf while transformed reached the two meters mark n height while her own dad was even shorter than the average for a male Werewolf, reaching only around 190 cms while transformed. Thankfully however her father was not a Werewolf but an Amazon and an especially tall one and she eredited her height from him, as was shown off in her Humanoid Wolf Form being a 225 cm tall mass of muscle, fur, claws, fangs and the death that would result from her use of such. A tentacle fell upon her with great strenght but she moved at a speed much higher than before, severing it in two in an instant with her Thunder Gems. With an heavy step on her boat, Sider sent herself towards another one of the thirteen tentacles, jumping side to side to dodge rays of Evil Light raining down upon her, trusting her increased Existence, Resistance and Recovery to deal with the blows that she wasn¡¯t able to dodge. Her axe and claws clashed with one of the tentacle¡¯s flesh, ripping it into pieces of flesh that fell all around her, her electric cloak charring the slivers that fell upon her own body as she savagely tore into it before she jumped back into her boat, her body releasing a beam of Lightning-Attribute Mana that her boat absorbed before this last one¡¯s Barrier was converted shortly into a Lightning-Attribute Barrier that fried the shreds of Horror on it. Before the Barrier could be temporarily converted however, she had already jumped away from it as she herself would not be left unharmed by the Barrier¡¯s shielding, her one meter and a half greataxe was completely covered in her Thunder Gems before she proceded to throw it hard towards one of the now fourteen tentacles. Before its flight was even completed she turned her attention back to the tentacle she jumped towards, crossing her arms before herself to block the blows coming from it, spinning in mid air before stopping herself on a small layer of Earth-Attribute Mana that crumpled soon after because of the force and weight of her rough landing. Her Thunder Gem-covered axe exploded, a wave of force and Lightning-Attribute Mana being released in an instant obliterating one of said tentacles completely, at least when it comes to the part of it that emerged from the water and sending Sider flying back because of the shockwave. Said Werewolf landed on another tentacles, her claws and her arms burying themselves up to her elbows within it, electricity starting to flare up around her before it was violently unleashed in an instant within the tentacle itself, frying it repeatedly despite and because of its natural Regeneration, slowing it down and trying to fight and stop the multiplication of its tentacles. For a while this process even worked however she was forced to stop her assault soon after as another tentacle smashed where she just was, Sider dodging by forcefully ripping herself away from the shreds of flesh trying to entomb her body within the Monster and launching herself down towards the sea, a snarl on her lupine face. While she was falling, the Amazon-blooded one impaled the claws of her left hand and of her feet into the tentacles to slow down her fall to a crawl while rising her right hand. The noble breathed in deeply before howling again, a sharp call that was answered soon after as her axe flew back in her waiting hand, before being buried into the tentacle hard before Sider was bucked away from its thrashing only to safely land back on her boat, her focus shortly moving to examine the status of her gift from her parents, noting how only one of its blades was still intact, if so it could be defined as considering the fact that it was heavily chipped and with present and obvious cracks, and its shaft was at least 30 cm shorter. She growled as her single piece of jewelry, a choker that grew in size at the same rate she did, started to glow, converting Vital Energy and Mana into Earth Qi to repair her weapon. Meanwhile the Qi, still Unaligned at her Step, stored within her own body started to circulate faster, increasing her battle power and in addition accelerating the process of tempering her body and soul in a process equivalent to Cultivation taught to the Amazons by her great-great-something-grandfather, an Earth Body Cultivator, around 750 years ago, and her Lightning-Mana coating intensified around her, glowing silver eyes meeting the dull yet cruel white eyes belonging to four of the now sixteen tentacles.

Chapter 55 10/6 18:39 (Autumn, Night, Middle of the Ocean) The Werewolf held her left paw up, condensing electricity in a long spear that she threw towards one of the tentacles in tandem with her own launch towards another, her axe¡¯s blades glowing with Lightning-Attribute Mana thrusted deeply into another one of them before impaling it with her other, lightning-covered hand up to her elbow. Eyes focused on her, beams of Evil Light being released upon her the next instant only for her to react in time, her Qi flaring and converting her entire body, fur included, into living stone, holes forming all over her body because of the rays released by the empty eyes only for her to continue attacking. Sider ripped away the arm impaled within the Horror¡¯s flesh while leaving her axe stuck in it, before she, using her much higher weight caused by the fact that she was made out of highly compressed yet still flexible stone, crushed the tentacle she landed on with pure physical might thanks to the Living Stone Cultivation Technique passed down to the Amazons by their Cultivator Ancestor. This may seem to be a contradiction considering how so grave damage would lead the Horror to increase the number of heads again but after all there was only three ways to kill an Hydra and, in order of least to most dangerous, they were: negating their healing and then killing the Hydra; dealing so much damage and at so high a speed that it could not heal; and finally destroying their heads again and again, it gaining new ones until no more will be made and then ripping it apart. The Werewolf well knew that the third option was the most dangerous of them all for the very good reason that the Horror would gain more tentacles and subseguently more power to attack her with but she also knew that every single Being had a limit, said limit could be surpassed sure but accumulating too much power in too short a time would be deadly. In the case of an Hydra¡¯s temporarily increased heads the limit was based entirely upon how much food it would have devoured and how much Energy they have stored within them and she imagined that the same would be true for the Mutant before them. Sider jumped back on her boat under the empty, vicious gaze of the now 17 tentacles focusing on her stone-like body before moving suddently, dodging the tentacles that tried to impale and crush her and she responded by slashing those that came nearest to her with her lightning-covered axe and claws, her brightly glowing eyes constantly searching for any incoming attack. The natural regeneration she gained by being in her Humanoid Wolf Form in the meantime was busy slowly repairing the damage inflicted on her by the Horror, well aware that she could only turn off her Technique if she was unharmed but if she rans out of Qi while she cannot turn back, the type of rock she was made out of would lose the ¡°living¡± part of its description, leaving her behind as just a pretty statue, destiny not uncommon for Amazons. She firmly held her axe, made with some small pieces of her ancestors¡¯ statues as was the tradition shared with the Amazons by the Cultivator, covering it in lightning before striking down on her boat with its knot once, twice and then finally thrice. At every single one of her strike, a light chime emanated from deep within her ship, a pattern belonging to a specific command to her personal naval vessel that proceded to respond properly, ramming a still unharmed tentacles with as much speed as it could while in this situation. She immediately jumped, lightning ammassing around her left hand before she threw the newly created lightning spear towards one of the tentacles, impaling it and then bursting in a wave of sparks in one of its eyes, to an insignificant amount of Damage all things considered however the real purpose of it was not the Damage but to build up the Status Alteration ¡°Shocked¡± to open it up to following attacks and lowering its Lightning Resistance. As she was falling, Sider spun her lightning-coated axe in midair before smashing its end on a precise spot of her boat once, the lightning absorbed in an instant by her ship before it was released in a shockwave once again following its command. This time, however, the shockwave had not been unleashed to deal damage to the tentacles but was instead Channeled to inflict as much Status Alteration as possible upon the Mutant Horror of the Depths while lightning intensified further around the Werewolf, sparks of electricity constantly being emanated from her body while her Qi was being absorbed by her axe, it becoming slowly denser and larger. She stepped forward but before she could attack, she was interrupted as the tentacles moving as one attacked her ship, grabbing it with force and then proceding to lift it higher despite its weight, causing the Werewolf to lose her balance and barely stopping herself from falling on her face, landing on her palms before narrowing her eyes in focus, standing up before throwing it hoverboard, its blades encased in her Thunder Gems. She then created another lightning spear and threw it towards one of the seventeen tentacles, this time however remaining phisically impaled on it long enough for Sider to recall her axe, axe that upon contact with the spear detonated in a massive burst of electricity that fried the tentacle completely, the boat shaking slightly at the suddent lack of one of its supports but the other sixteen were more than capable of handling the increased weight. The Werewolf jumped, spinning in the air, grabbing her axe and using their combined weight, she kicked down on one of the tentacles, causing a shockwave with pure physical power alone, forcing it to slightly weaken its hold on her boat and leading her to to see the emerging body of the Horror, a vast circular maw that opened to a cave of fangs, eyes and smaller tentacles, with several flesh spheres of various different sizes held within it, impaling her axe into one of them to keep herself mid-air. Lightning ammassed around the Amazon¡¯s body before it condensed around her left hand, forming a spear that she threw towards the Horror¡¯s mouth, the Target not being the Monster itself but another thing entirely. The preys of an Horror of the Depths are not killed, at least not immediately. Instead they were captured deep within the Horror¡¯s own body and tormented until they die of Hunger with the Horror feeding off them with their Innate Skill ¡°Energy Siphon¡± while they have an immense amount of Energy Storage, enough to fuel ¡°Hydra¡¯s Regeneration¡± even if such an Innate Skill would force it to hunt much more than before. As an interesting fact, the fact that the Horrors have naturally the Innate Skill¡°Energy Siphon¡± is part of the reason behind the hatred of Lust Demons in costal cities and by professional sailors as a commonly-held theory behind this Monster Species¡¯ Existence was the work of one of them while, in truth, they were innocent of such as the ¡°Horror of the Depths¡±¡¯ creation was the work of a certain Goddess, Goddess whose Chosen were safe from meetings with those Monsters at all, even if no Being currently alive remembers that their creation was work of said Divine Beings. Sider¡¯s attack was not Targetted at the Horror itself but at one of its suffering prey, one of the tortured Being feeding it with their Energies and pain both, with the intent of killing the poor Being as a form of mercy and depriving the Monster of some fuel for its Skills, after all the less fuel it had the less temporary Limbs it could create and maintain. Some may wonder at the way she attacked without any hesitation at all but after all, despite all tentative to heal them, not a single one of an Horror of the Depths¡¯ victim ever recovered from the torture suffered by them, killing themselves soon after they were recovered, further intensifying the scorn towards both the Horrors themselves and Succubus, as planned by the Divine Being herself. Returning to the fight currently in progress however, the lightning spear launched by Sider was struck, impaled in the Horror¡¯s mouth tentacles that moved in order to block the attack from reaching and killing the captive victim, especially considering the absolutely terrible state they would be left in. The black-haired one scowled, leaving her axe stuck in the tentacle to create a spear made of lightning in each of her hand and throwing them towards the previously stuck spear. One of said lightning construct impacted the stuck spear, detonating the two in a burst of electricity that incinerated the flesh of the mouth-tentacles and opening it up for the second thrown spear that impaled and killed the silver-eyed one¡¯s previous target, depriving the Horror of the Depths of some fuel for its additional limbs, well aware that she could only win if she was to starve it to death. Mid-air Sider spun before kicking down, Qi flaring as she solidified the air beneath her, launching herself back towards the bottom of her ship, grabbing onto it firmly thanks to an handle on the bottom, what was in reality a trap recognized her and so remained inactive at her touch. Vital Energy and Mana flowed down from her boat¡¯s storage to Sider herself, restoring her own spent Energies in full while she twisted herself using the handle as a lever to turn towards the slowly rising Horror, its head emerging from the waves fully, eyes opening all around its mouth as it concentrated on its latest prey, with an ever increasing glow. The Werewolf breathed in deeply before howling at full force, lightning joining said shockwave with the aim of disorienting the Monster¡¯s Senses and conseguently it too, trying to open it up for more attacks, while careful to not Target the Horror¡¯s stored preys, at least for right now. Her Qi¡¯s circulation slowed down gradually as she breathed in and out slowly, her eyes focused completely as sparks started to being emitted from all over her stony body, this last one finally finished to be repaired thanks to the Vital Energy she absorbed from her vessel. A tentacle moved in, trying to squash her against the bottom of her ship causing her canine lips to snarl even more violently, her fangs shining with a metallic gleam as the electricity intensified. She loosened her grip on her weapon, before closing her now free hand in a fist, punching the incoming tentacle. A shockwave was emanated in an instant as the tentacle was crushed completely, as Sider activated her Unique Skill to increase massively the Potency of the attack.

Chapter 56 10/6 18:45 (Autumn, Night, Middle of the Ocean) Sider held her arm as still as possible, thing quite difficult to do considering how both the fact that she dandling from her boat and the recoil. Fortunately, however, she was currently not made out of flesh and muscle but stone, lowering both the damage the black-haired one suffered from the blow of her previous blow and the complexity of the healing needed to recover from it. Her right hand currently holding the silver-eyed one in mid-air by her ships handle pulled her higher up, before grabbing her axe in her left from mid-air and swinging hard, a shockwave being released in an instant and pulping another one of its tentacles, trying to starve it. Cracks spread all over both her treasured weapon and her arm yet again, showing off the bright, molten lava taking the place of her blood, something that was not damaging her right now but would have been incredibly painfull if she could feel anything at all but she was made of stone, her nerves included. Sider¡¯s Qi Circulation sped up again, concentrating on healing the damage she just suffered as fast as possible, trying to ready herself for the Horror of the Depth¡¯s next attack. And speaking of its following attacks, the Horror¡¯s eyes within its mouth started shining more and more brightly, before it closed its maw except for a very small opening from which a blinding light started to emanate violently, starting to boil the water all around the Monster because of the massive amount of power being condensed and readied; an attack it specifically chose because it could not kill Living Being. Sider didn¡¯t hesitate, switching the hand holding her afloat, well aware that hesitation would lead to her death at this very moment, stopping the healing of her wounds in an instant to concentrate on creating a bright, yellow spherical gem that she threw hard towards the Horror¡¯s mouth, breaking her fingers because of the use of her Unique Skill to maximize the speed and precision of her throw. The Thunder Gem accelerated, sparks flying off in all directions as it pierced the air at an incredible speed, reaching the slowly surging light, detonating in a violent explosion of lightning, destabilizing the attack from the much larger Being. The naval vessel responded to her will expressed throught her Mana, expanding its barrier to its full power around both it and the Werewolf, uncaring of the massive expense this would mean for her ship¡¯s Energy Batteries. The light erupted, not in a concentrated beam like it planned but in a violent explosion of light within the Horror¡¯s body, the water all around them boiling in an instant even with the body of the Monster suffering the brunt of the burst, its flesh being cooked alive because of the intensity of the light it could no longer control. Sider closed her eyes immediately, turning her face away from the Horror as an immense wall of light exploded underneath her, her ship¡¯s Barrier shattering instantly upon the blow, the remaining force smashing her against the keel of her boat, molten lava flowing from her lips in guise of her blood. The raven-haired one fell, barely able to grab onto the handle as the Horror¡¯s tentacles launched her vessel away, the violent impact with the water briefly making her mind go blank before she started to swim away from underneath her ship, her eyes wih difficulty trying to find and confirm the status of the marine Monster. She quickly moved, pulling herself back on her ship, breathing heavily while looking all around herself, finaly finding the Horror a couple of meters away, the tentacles ripped and smashed away from its main body, this last one being opened wide as if it was ripped away with enormous hands by its mouth. A dull, grey liquid flowed freely from its remains, none of its previous victims being left alive by the previous explosion, especially considering their previous terrible state. The naturally dar-skinned one closed her eyes after seeing how her opponent did not move even a whole minute after the explosion, she relaxed, laying down on the deck of her ship, barely able to stay conscious as she started to breath in even deeper, circulating her Qi to accelerate as much and as safely as possible her recovery from the previous fight, sitting down with crossed legs while preparing for the incoming backlash of having forced the activation of the Werewolves¡¯ Innate Skill, ¡°Form: Humanoid Wolf¡± without a full Moon in the sky. A minute later, her still stone torso was perforated by 13 rays of light. Five centimeters wide holes formed upon her body, her eyes opening wide from her Deep Meditation, molten rock flowing from her body as she was barely able to stop herself from falling, her gaze focusing back on what she thought to be a corpse only to see how the various parts were joining back together, reforming it. In the previous fight, the Horror used none of its own reserves of Energy, whether Mana or Vital Energy, but only that of its victims, exhausting them while keeping its own stores full. This was the reason why it now had enough Vital Energy to recover from the previous explosion, its eyes focusing on her. More Evil Light fell upon her body only for her to throw herself to the side, her eyes moving towards the Monster as she saw one of its tentacles trying to crush her. With a snarl, Sider rose an arm and flicked once, her Unique Skill being applied to create an immense amount of force, smashing it apart and shattering the finger she used into small pieces, shards of stone and liquid rocks falling upon her boat. Her Unique Skill ¡°Berserker¡± was quite complex, increasing immensely the Potency of a physical attack only to recieve in response a Recoil in both Damage and Increasing all Status Alterations Inflicted to herself; not only that but every single one of her blows within a certain time period using this Skill was stronger than the previous one, as was the respective Recoil she would suffer. It was no wonder then, that the next finger flick she was forced to make to defend herself by another one of its tentacles destroyed not only the finger she used but also both the rest of her hand and even part of her forearm. The silver eyes belonging to the Werewolf narrowed in a combination of hatred and determination, focused entirely on her enemy, ready to bring them both down if necessary. Said enemy swum back a couple of meters at its target murderous intent before calming down, rage rising explosively as it prepared to feed off its target. As the two of them prepared to return to fighting, the water churned too lightly for either of the two of them to notice. But even if the two didn¡¯t notice the slight movement of the ocean, both of them noticed with widened eyes when the water violently smashed the various parts of the Horror of the Depth in a single place before it violently erupted, forming first a couple of enormous jaws made out of water before it became a gigantic maw. Maw that violently closed around the Monster, crushing it into paste before the Being before Sider, despite its enormous size and mass, gracefully fell back on the surface of the water, showing themselves off to the Werewolf¡¯s widened eyes. The Being before the black-haired one looked like a dark blue scales covered whale-like Being with great fins and despite various parts from different marine creatures¡¯ species, they were an ordered Being; an ordered Being whose lenght could be easily measured in hundreds of meters. Their green, gem-like eyes, themselves a lot bigger than Sider¡¯s body, focused on the Werewolf briefly before they breathed, Energy filling the air around them in an instant before most of it was reabsorbed by the Being except for a small, relatively to their natural Well, amount that filled both Sider¡¯s and the ship¡¯s Reserves completely before they submerged once again. Under the astonished gaze of the Werewolf, Leviathan vanished completely between the water, causing Sider to fall on her face immediately in a mix of relief and exhaustion, commanding her ship to start repairing its Barrier and its hull from the previous battle, thanking her luck that the battle attracted the attention of the Divine Beast of the Sea towards one of its favorite prey, an Horror of the Depth, and reminding herself to try and avoid any future sea travel if possible. Sider started to heal herself with her newly gifted Vital Energy, spending a lot of it to accelerate her Recovery and once she finished healing, she deactivated her Form Change, falling on her face as pain assaulted her body all over, senzation similar to muscle cramps spread all over her body, as the backlash for Transforming without a Full Moon. - 10/7 1:01 (Autumn, Day, Midrar) *Luna Gains 1945 Magicules. Luna woke up, her eyes drinking in the faces of her Mates for a moment before they moved automatically towards a certain point in the distance, a feeling similar to instinct trying to guide her towards an unknown destination. Her eyes narrowed while a cruel smile formed upon her lips, her Aura surrounding the four of them protectively as she readied for the mayhem and bloodbath that would follow. After all, she may not be bloodthirsty but she found no reason to reject such an invitation.

Chapter 57 10/7 1:14 (Autumn, Day, Midrar) Luna turned her attention back towards her Mates from the depth of her own Soul, having finished finding and isolating the part of it that was trying to lead her to what she was almost certain was a trap, while examining every single one of her thoughts to search for any other extraneous ones within her head by using her ¡°Parallel Processing¡± Skill to examine them and work out their origin. Once done for the moment, she turned back to her sleeping Mates and started to poke them on the cheeks repeatedly to wake them up, hearing them groan to being woken up. ¡°Why are you so excited right now¡­?¡± Sabel, the one more accustomed to waking up early, sleepily asked her fully awake Mate. ¡°Because someone made a trap for me and is trying to guide me there without my knowledge!¡± Luna exclaimed, excited for the incoming fight. ¡°But you know about this trap. What do you plan on doing now?¡± Amber asked, fully awake upon hearing what the Lunarian just said. ¡°I am planning on waiting until well after my little Human¡¯s birthday and then spring the trap on them at my convenience. If they want my attention so much, they can wait for it, can¡¯t they?¡± The words may have seemed to be surprisingly gentle but all three of her Mates could feel the murderous glee hidden underneath those. ¡°Don¡¯t Compulsion worsen over time?¡± Mafel questioned, well aware and worried from the memories she eredited from the Elf Paladin. ¡°Yes, at least normally. However this Compulsion was made particularly weak to try and escape my notice, thing it failed at, and because I am aware of it¡¯s existence, my Status Alteration Nullification would lenghten further the time before it would matter. And because of what and who I am, it will not be able to interfere with me by the time it should be able to.¡± The Vampiric one explained. ¡°I see. Who do you think is trying to¡­ find you?¡± Sabel hesitantly asked the red-eyed one. ¡°They could be after me because of what I am, because of who I am, because of who I know or because of what I did. All the same, it doesn¡¯t particularly matter to me the reason or even who it is.¡± Luna indifferently explained, before she fully rose up from their bed, stretching shortly before extending her left hand to help up the Human. Said black-haired girl was easily pulled up by her physically more imposing Mate, being securely held in her arms before their lips met in a short kiss before she was gently set on her feet. Afterwards Luna did the same with both Amber and Mafel in the place of a ¡°good morning¡± before moving towards the Runic Array¡¯s Keystone functioning as its controller. Once there, after a brief look over it, she confirmed the changes she intended to make. First she Converted her own Vital Mana¡¯s imprint to match Mafel¡¯s own and then she very carefully started to make change in the Runes under the focused gaze of Mafel and Amber that were making sure to memorize the changes, noting how she was mostly affecting the Energy Well of their base. ¡°I calculated these alterations while I was sleeping, based upon mostly my Unique Skill with some details from various memories I acquired.¡± And almost as if to congratulate her for her research and planning for it¡­ *Luna Gains the Ability Skill ¡°True Calamity Runic Supremacy¡± E. Luna instinctively understood the Cipher she acquired at the same moment as she gained her new Skill and the Runes she just learned together with it. Beyond the Runic Language belonging to the World, every single Being has their own Runic Language based on their understanding of Reality and even if Luna could access only a small part of her own Cipher, based upon her own nature as a Lunarian, her past lives, her twin Authorities and her Unique Skill, that was more than enough for the red-eyed one to seek within the Keystone every single Concept they shared and integrating them together. This increased the complexity of the Runic Array and needed her to give up even more Vital Mana to finalize the changes, sure, but on the other hand the Array became much more efficient in the long run when it comes to the creation, storage and use of Energy. In addition to that her changes increased the defensive measures of their base, both by reinforcing them in Durability and by creating a paper-thin membrane around it to absorb Energy. Mafel and Amber analyzed the changes, noting how Luna¡¯s personal Runes were all made out of single, flowing movements that spiraled towards their center while seeming to lean on each other to make a greater whole than its component. The Phoenix quickly tore her gaze away from them, embarassed by the insight she gained towards the way her Mate understood Reality, the only one of the four that had been taught that this was an incredibly intimate gesture, a very deep look at the inside of the red-eyed one, fleeing deeper in the base with a slightly flushed face, joining Sabel. ¡°What do you want for breakfast?¡± The black-haired one asked, smiling at the blonde when she saw her enter the kitchen where she was currently preparing to cook their first meal of the day. After all Sabel was the only one of the four that would think about their meals, Mafel adapting too well to company to the point that she required someone to look after her needs, Amber being able to feed off either fire or Energy if necessary and finally Luna did not eat, except for sweets, and actually hated the act of eating itself. ¡°You know how to cook?¡± The orange-eyed one wondered, curious at the fact a noble knew it. ¡°I learned from Hale, my Party¡¯s cleric, how to cook. He himself learned while working to help various churches where he helped out and he taught Jay and me after he recovered from a sickness and us ¡°Outrejects¡± needed to spend a lot of money in food. Fortunately, even if he is terrible with money, Jay is rich thanks to the combination of an eidetic memory and very high artistic talents.¡± Sabel explained calmly. ¡°I see¡­ In that case I don¡¯t particularly mind what you are doing.¡± Amber answered calmly, moving closer to observe and trying to learn how to cook from her Mate¡¯s example, mostly to pass the time. The Human offered her affirmation with a thumbs up, starting to properly cook breakfast for all four of them. - 10/7 1:28 (Autumn, Day, Midrar) Luna and Mafel looked up from their now joint project, the two having expanded because of their excitement, working to refine the Runic Array together, their Aura flaring in a single blaze of power. Vital Energy and Mana within the Spectral Elf was quickly Converted into Vital Mana, joining the Lunarian¡¯s before gradually filling the Array to the limit, the Energy being digested to finalize each change. ¡°Here.¡± Sabel gently placed two different plates on the table supporting the Runic Keystone, one full of various fruits carefully cut into small slices before Mafel while the other before Luna had some pieces of hard, but not too hard, pieces of sweet candy for her to chew while she worked on the Runic Array. ¡°Thank you.¡± The Curse-Holy User expressed her gratitude while instead the No-Attribute Sorcerer immediately took one of them, tasting them while analyzing the Runes, her gratitude being sent throught their Mark to both of her swordswomen. Amber sat down too, posing her own and Sabel¡¯s breakfast on the table before, after thinking about it, releasing her Aura in full, trying to get used to the feeling and strain of it. The black-haired one looked up, confused before understanding downed on her and she herself released her Aura in full. The four of them, Vital Energy and Mana being taken in by Luna before being turned into Vital Mana and fed to her Mates and then to the Runic Array, started to talk with each other, planning what to do in the future. - 10/7 1:29 (Autumn, Day, Ocean) Sider, currently using her [Living Stone] Technique, was meditating deeply, her eyes closed as she circulated her Qi at high-speed, her Qi smashing against her Meridians at as a high a speed, while being careful to tear but not to shred them, as possible. Meanwhile her Vital Energy and Mana was slowly, very inefficiently, being mixed with the Energy of the World all around her, forming Qi that was then split between her Living Weapon resting on her lap, her Necklace and her own body. This process was only possible because of said Necklace around her neck, the only thing she was currently wearing, an Artifact made out of Living Stone with the express purpose of slowly making Neutral Qi for her to take in. From her body, currently naked except for her Necklace to maximize the rate of absorption and minimize both the Qi that was returning to the World and the damage her clothes would suffer, liquid stone flowing down as small parts of her body were being melted down deep within her body, replaced by stronger parts before being sweat from her body, impurities being expelled from her system. This last part was caused by one of the two Major Paths of Cultivation, not Qi Irradiation but Qi Reformation, more specifically Body Reformation, a process to melt and then flush out impurities in the body to substitute them with more effective ones, depending on the Cultivator. This was a process that a Cultivator at her level normally would not have done, or at least they would have been much more careful than she was currently being however she had no need to worry as her [Living Stone] Technique and her Skills working in tandem meant that at least for a little while she could safely Reform herself, accelerating her growth for the future. Ten minutes later she stopped, slowly and gradually returning to her normal state before dragging herself towards her meal that, considering how she was forced to use her Form Skill, was consisting mostly of meat to help her muscles to recover faster. Sider then started to eagerly devour her breakfast.

Chapter 58 MChapter 58 10/7 3:02 (Autumn, Day, Midrar) ¡°For now we are done with the Runic Array.¡± Luna commented, finished finalizing the changes in the Keystone, stretching herself back lightly before standing up, a last cookie being eaten by her before she moved towards a new addition to their base. ¡°How did you survive on sweets while keeping yourself in form?¡± Sabel wondered only to recieve an absurd answer. ¡°I figured it out what I needed to do when I was five. I hate eating but at the time I still needed it to survive so I worked out what every single one of my cells needed and then I figured out how to turn Energy into them before learning how to Convert whatever I breathed, drunk and ate into Energy and then to Convert it into whatever I needed in my body.¡± The Vampiric one explained calmly the process throught which she lived twenty years with never needing to eat; yes, twenty as even while she was a mostly-mindless Ghoul, she still maintained this process going on automatically. ¡°Now that we are done with this, let¡¯s get to training. We need to prepare for our ambush after all.¡± The pale, red-eyed one smiled, her Aura flaring even more intensely then before, a roaring challenge towards the three of them. Her Mates followed soon after, reaching the room she added, their training Arena, a vast black room that upon the closing of the door became encompased by a small, transparent Barrier with the purpose of isolating the inside from the outside. Luna¡¯s Aura was Unleashed in full, trying to drown her three Mates under its weight, her Pressure pressuring the molecules around her in an instant while her Unique Arma, ¡°Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity¡±, Manifested around her limbs. Amber¡¯s Aura exploded in response, the air around her violently bursting into flames, as she manifested her Unique Arma, ¡°Blazing Blade of the Piercer¡±, her weapon clad in a dense, bright layer of flames. Mafel¡¯s own Aura surrounded her body as she manifested her Arma, the ¡°Malevolent Scepter of the Generator¡±, and it was then surrounded by a twister made out of Curse- and Holy-Attributes as five masses of Miasma formed around her, her Shades forming copies of her own body before the butt of her staff rang against the ground, Casting a Holy-Attribute Spell on herself before it was reflected on her Shades by her Unique Arma. Sabel saw that the five Shades were quickly enveloped in golden, Holy-Attribute Mana before it concentrated into copies of Mafel¡¯s own mantle around her Shades naked bodies before each one of them closed their hands around copies of the Elf¡¯s own staff. Soon after, she materialized her own Unique Arma, ¡°Bracelet of the Rebel¡± around her wrists, her Aura flaring around her before it and Light mixed, concentrating around her sword, even if she was the least dangerous, or more specifically the most normal, of the four of them. Luna smiled, her Aura condensing immediately around her to maximize its effects for the following battle, battle that she then proceded to start immediately, pointing at her Mates with her index finger as Vital Mana concentrated in as small a point as possible thanks to her Aura, in a manner similar to an [Annihilation Point], before she flicked it, a concentrated beam of destruction being released towards her Mates. Amber was the first to react, holding her sword firmly, a wave of fire briefly inondating the place before it concentrated around her blade as she swung it, the arc severing the beam in twine long enough for the [Annihilation Beam] to end, the source of the Lunarian¡¯s attack causing an explosion that extinguished the last embers of the attack. Curse-Attribute rose from around Mafel and her Shades before those waves fused together in a storm and then a great cloud of Mana that then fell upon both Amber and Luna in the form of rain, turning the fight into a three-sided affair like the Lunarian intended it to be from the start. Both Luna and Amber found Curse-Attribute Mana invading their bodies, the second finding herself gradually growing weaker while the first smiled, after all her Nullification would negate it, at least for a little while. Sabel concentrated, Light blazing around her sword as she carefully watched the fight between her two Mates, Energy, heat and flames exploding from every single one of their clashes. Amber was the more powerful of the four without any doubt even to the Human¡¯s judgement but the vampiric one¡¯s combination of superior skill, repeated use of Arts at minimum power and the currently weakened status of the Phoenix was enough for her to keep pace with the higher Ranked one, at least for a while. Sabel closed her eyes, an Holy-Attribute Spell Casted on her by Mafel to help her concentrate, Light slowly starting to emanate from her body, taking full advantage of her Mates¡¯ distraction to prepare in full thanks to the Elf¡¯s support. Amber¡¯s golden and purple flame- and Aura-clad blade met Luna¡¯s Aura-clad Armor around her limbs repeatedly, shockwaves being generated by the meeting between the two of them. The blonde¡¯s Blade was thrusted towards the white-haired one¡¯s face, causing this last one to dodge by moving down before she punched towards the orange-eyed one¡¯s torso, herself being dodged because of an explosion that sent Amber flying high. Fire accumulated around Amber¡¯s right hand, the one currently free of her Unique Arma, before she used her own Aura to condense the flame and released them as a beam down on to Luna. As this last one moved to the side to dodge the golden ray, it impacted the ground detonating in an explosion that forced the white-haired one to move back to dodge the wave of fire. Amber¡¯s great golden wings opened wide, beating a couple of times to both stabilize her mid-flight and to release flames raining down upon Luna. In response Luna inhaled, closing her mouth, before exhaling violently, a wave of force and sound being released from her mouth together with Vital Mana and Aura, washing over the flames and putting them out in an instant, forcing Amber to close her wings before her, deflecting the blow with an explosion. She fell in a dive soon after, trying to impale her Mate upon her sword while sending forth a sphere of flames, sphere that exploded prematurely, trying to blind or at least limit her Mate¡¯s vision from her attack, a second blade, this time made completely out off flames in her right hand that she stretched to cut off Luna¡¯s escape way. Amber bursted through the cloud of flames, her blade¡¯s being held differently than before as she swung horizontally, said Unique Arma being stopped by Luna¡¯s own Unique Arma-, Black Blood-, Vital Mana- and Aura-clad forearm, their Aura neutralizing each other, Amber¡¯s flames being held off by Luna¡¯s Black Blood coating while her Vital Mana was staving off as much as she could Amber¡¯s ¡°Energy Siphon¡±. Amber smiled before she exploded into flames, pressing down on her Mate and using her higher strenght and her flight to forcefully send Luna flying away from her before launching a spear made of physical fire after her. Luna answered her smile with her own, spinning in mid-air before landing on the ground for an instant, shifting her kinetic energy enough to change her direction diagonally, dodging the spear, while at the same time creating an orb of Energy in her left hand. She held it firmly while landing before thrusting her right hand forward, the sphere being pressured in an opaque circle fifty centimeters wide before it fired in a cylindrical shape. The blonde rose her own sword to deal with it like the first [Annihilation Beam] only to widen her eyes in alarm at the contact between them. Her Aura and ¡°Energy Siphon¡± did not influence the attack like the previous one, she noted confused, before the force of the blow reached her and force her to step back again and again before she, holding her Unique Arma with both hands, detonated in fire and Aura, channeling the force of the explosion to deflect the surprisingly solid attack, it exploding in the distance. ¡°How did you do this?¡± She wondered, curious as she was well aware that the attack contained almost no Vital Mana despite its strenght, before swinging up to meet the black-clad left punch of the Lunarian. Before Luna¡¯s hand and Amber¡¯s curved sword could meet, the white-haired one¡¯s fist opened before clenching around the orange and purple-eyed one¡¯s weapon, adding the entirety of the force of her fall to her own to stop the clash between the two. ¡°Very simple, really.¡± Luna¡¯s face opened in a small, smug smile as she used the hand around the blade as a lever to twist herself in a kick towards her opponent¡¯s face. ¡°My attack was not a Spell or an Art. It instead was the launch of a Crafted Item made out of my own blood, Aura, Vital Mana, Runes and hightly compressed air.¡± She explained, her kick being dodged at the last moment by the Phoenix. The blonde¡¯s wings opened wide, flames erupting from her back in an instant as she moved with immense speed behind Luna before striking down upon her with her right fist clad in super-heating Aura. Luna moved to the side, tanking the blow with her shoulder instead of her back, before she twisted with the blow to strike back at her Mate, Aura and Vital Mana condensing around her fist before causing a wave of force that sent both of them flying back. The white haired one continued her turn in mid-air, launching a couple of Vital Mana Spears back to slow down the Phoenix¡¯s approach, concentrating her Vital Energy and Black Blood into a single point deep within her heart, concentrating ever more of that mixture deep within her own body while landing firmly. Heat filled the Lunarian body as her blood boiled because of the massive amount of Energy she was forcefully Channeling it in such a minuscule amount of Matter but fortunately her own Black Blood was able to handle it without instantly exploding thanks to the support of her other Authority to keep the Vital Mana fluid yet stable. All the same, the quickly rising power contained in her body reached a point of no return, her heart-equivalent bursting in a wave of power that would have been fatal to Luna if she didn¡¯t use her Aura to direct the power within her own body safely and she didn¡¯t use her Soul¡¯s nature as a Singularity to trap the power within her own body before Channeling it to strenghten herself. The result spoke for itself after all. *Luna Gained the Growth Skill ¡°Core Implosion¡± E. Luna¡¯s eyes opened wide, her piercing, glowing red-eyes seeking Amber in an instant before she moved, crossing the space between them as the Phoenix was barely able to cross her arms before her to block the sudden attack, an attack that the previous Lunarian would have been unable to launch. And upon meeting her eyes, shining bright, the blonde understood enough. The process the white-haired one just completed led to a temporary increase in every single one of her Skills¡¯ Rank, gaining much higher physical and magical abilities and even in her temporarily obtaining True Sight, all this at the cost of half her Essence and Vital Mana and something more. Amber¡¯s wings opened wide to stop her mid-air as she created a wall of flames before her to block the massive, silent distortion launched by Luna long enough for her to launch herself away from its trajectory with an explosion, the rain of Curse-Attribute on her ceasing to affect her entirely while warm Holy-Attribute Mana started to help her out. Fire accumulated around her sword before she launched her own attack. ¡°[Flashfire Severer]!¡± She screamed the name of her newest Art, made by her thanks to the combination of her Vital Energy, Aura, ¡°Pyrokinesis¡±, ¡°Fire-Attribute Sorcery¡± and ¡°Energy Siphon¡±. A bright line of flames split the air in an instant, heat spiking violently as the zone immediately before her was inondated in flames. Before Amber could even find her Mate, thing quite hard all things considered as her previous attack blinded her own ¡°Heat Sight¡± because of all of the heat, her shoulder was grabbed by an hand behind her before she, eyes widened in alarm, was punched in between her wings. Mid-flight Amber saw how she was punched from a mass of Black Blood that just now returned to being her Mate, Aura taking the shape of a monstrous beast around her that she could not describe, her gaze focused somehow on both everything and nothing at once. Aura and flames exploded from Amber¡¯s body with even more intensity, her own challenge attracting the distracted yet still paying full attention, Luna, red, pupilless eyes smiled in the darkness of their training room.

The amount of Magicules gained is equal to 100 plus the total amount of Magicules the former owner absorbed. Thanks to Singularity this process is instantaneous and has an Efficiency of 100%, however this process still kills the victim without any doubt. Additionally because of the Innate Skill ¡°Authority: Black Blood¡± the efficiency is further enhanced to 107%.

Chapter 59 10/7 3:25 (Autumn, Day, Midrar) Amber watched, her eyes carefully waiting for any incoming signal of the fight resuming as Luna was slowly adapting to the immense change from before, for now focusing mostly on what she could now do following her increased Skill Ranks, like her previously turning into Black Blood. Under the heated gaze of the Phoenix, the Lunarian dematerialized her Unique Arma from around her limbs before Manifesting it once again, now being a skin-tight suit covering everything but her neck and up made of the same black, scale-like materials, platinum bands around her wrist and ankles with details of the same material marking her body¡¯s shape. Vital Energy, Mana and Aura flared violently around Luna¡¯s body, mixing together and spurning Amber to act, now before it would be too late. Using her own ¡°Energy Siphon¡± she fused together her Vital Energy and Mana, makeshifting Vital Mana, flames erupting from her body, the air around her lighting on flame while with each beat of her flames, the wind around her stirring as she started to use all four of her highest Affinities, Fire-Attribute, Wind-Attribute, Curse-Attribute and Holy-Attribute. Thanks to the Blessing Casted on her by Mafel and her descendance from a Lust-based Demon, she was able to fuse together her Curse- and Wind-Attribute into Ominous Winds, a purple twister forming around her while her Fire- and Holy-Attributes fused into Blessed Flames, thing that was somewhat common in high-Ranking Phoenixes. Soon after her Ominous Winds fell upon Luna, Amber being careful to add in her own Techniques to increase their Damage by considering the winds as her own sword, purple and sharp wind blades continuously raining down on Luna¡¯s body, the attacks first landing on the Auric Beast before proceding on Luna herself as much weaker attacks that left gashes all over her body even with her Armor, gashes that were quickly healed. Even so Luna did not move, her gaze focused on everything yet nothing at all, still adapting to her now much higher capabilities, being slightly distracted as she needed to manually heal every single one of her wounds with Vital Mana, one of the conseguence of the Activation of ¡°Core Implosion¡±, at least at E-Rank. Her Auric Wings opened wide before beating violently, Feathers belonging to her multiple set of Wings with Black Blood and Vital Mana at its core, rained down all over the area, piercing right through the rain of Curse-Attribute to fall down upon the entire arena in instant, spinning on themselves and drilling into place. Amber¡¯s Blessed Flames raged around her, combining with her Aura before exploding violently, deflecting the Feathers that would fall near her, surviving the first wave of projectiles without any issue. Sabel meanwhile grabbed Mafel in her arms before jumping away, a burst of light sending her flying away while the Elf in her arms was Casting Spell after Spell to strenghten the Human and deflecting the Feathers that Sabel would not have been able to dodge. Luna beholded the result of her attacks, her three long Auric Tails whipping the air around her at high-speed, batting away the flames launched by the blonde with trivial ease before closing her eyes completely, her concentration focused on her own Black Blood and Vital Mana, forcefully initiating the same process as her newest permanent Skill within them. As a conseguence of such the Feathers, unable to deal with the immense pressure, violently exploded in waves of force, forcing her Mates to barricade themselves down to block the explosions. This bought the Lunarian enough time for her to concentrate on her newest temporary Growth Skill, she will permanently Gain once her Racial Skill reaches C-Rank, ¡°Orichalcum Conversion¡±, the Rankless Skill that starts to convert a Lunarian¡¯s body to Orichalcum, starting with their blood. In her case, thanks to her blood being Black Blood and her Soul¡¯s nature as a stable black hole, she was able to start this process right here and now to accelerate her progress in the future, her Essence being slowly drained down to fuel this process, thing that forced her to spend even more Vital Mana to balance out the constant drain while ignoring the pain of said draining. Thankfully, while her Vital Mana reserves where slightly lower than before, her Vital Mana Recovery in itself was more than double her normal and in combination with all her other higher Ranked Skills, she gained more than she used in the fight. Her Aura moved on its own, swinging one of its limbs backwards on its own in order to scatter a Fire Arrow that Amber secretly launched previously, a Fire Arrow that Luna previously would not have been able to Sense as it contained no Vital Energy or Mana but that thanks to her True Sight she saw without any trouble even from behind. Amber launched herself forward, bursting right through the explosions in an instant to reach Luna and trying to punch her in the face, her Aura fusing briefly with her Blessed Flames and concentrating around her fist. Once again, the red-eyed one vanished in a mass of Black Blood that flowed around the Demonic Phoenix before reforming into her body but this last one was ready for it this time, a purple twister sending Luna flying back before she stopped mid-air, her Auric Wings opening wide before she pointed forward with her left hand, a beam of power being launched in an instant. Said beam met the Demon-blooded one¡¯s own equivalent, the air where the two met instantly catching on fire before it was extinguished by a shockwave and relitting on fire soon after in a continuous cycle. While the two were distracted by their clash however, someone else decided to intervene. Light shone in the area in an instant as Sabel held her sword clad in a mix of Mafel¡¯s Holy-Attribute and her own Light-Attribute before she slashed down on Luna. The Lunarian rose her right arm, blocking the blow but being pushed back, thing that the Human normally would not have been possible but with the combination of Luna¡¯s focus being on Amber and the Elf¡¯s Blessing on the Human, she was able to unbalance her. The Phoenix seeing such intensified her attack further, breaking their headlock and forcing Luna to retreat before she could use her strenght against her black-haired Mate, the white-haired one being forced to shield herself with one of her Auric Wings to deflect a Curse-Attribute beam launched by her grey-haired one. Aura mixed with Black Blood and Vital Mana, forming a long and thin blade in her left hand that she swung, parrying away the rapidly nearing Unique Arma, the brightly glowing red sword sending forward a wave of fire that Luna dodged, Aura forming together with Black Blood and Vital Mana, a pair of long blades. In an instant the air was rent asunder as Luna swung furiously, Amber barely being able to survive as her Mate rampaged in place, sharp shockwaves filling the area around her and forcing the Phoenix to keep moving or risking Critical Damage. Vital Mana accumulated around the blonde¡¯s right hand as she tried to fight back, actively not making it a Spell but a simple exercise in control to dodge her Mate¡¯s ¡°Counterspell¡± but this proved meaningless as all the same, even without the activation of said Skill, the Vital Mana vanished into nothing, something rendered possible because of her Authority over Vital Mana. ¡°How¡­?¡± Amber exclaimed, surprised and in so doing opening herself up to an hard kick that lifted her up entirely before she was kicked further away. ¡°You need to remain focused while in a fight, Amber.¡± Luna half-mocked before her Tails pierced high, deflecting the falling thrust launched by Sabel before slamming her back down to the ground with one of her Wings, stepping on her chest to keep her under control before progressing to the next level, activating the function of her ¡°Familiar Summoning¡± temporarily at B-Rank, the function to temporarily Gain a Skill from each of her Familiars. Her eyes opened, her eyes now able to actively observe the Souls of all the Beings around her, from her Mates to her Familiars, her own, the Dragon that was even now trapped within her before she briefly concentrated on something that shouldn¡¯t be, a piece of a Soul alien to her own but that was all the same resting within her. With a smile she temporarily left it be to deal with later before attacking. Using Core¡¯s ¡°Elemental Manifestation¡± and Channeling Blitz¡¯s ¡°Electrify¡± within it, Luna formed a spear made out of Lightning, bypassing her own entirely absent Affinity for the Lightning-Attribute completely, before hurling it high in the sky, precisely targetting the center of the Curse. And from there, vibrant black lightning passed through it and nearby droplet of Curse, destroying them all before rapidly spreading out of control, filling the sky with somehow shining black lightning. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mafel, but I want you to be more active in this fight and you will not if your role as a support is not disrupted. Now then, let¡¯s restart.¡± The Lunarian excitedly explained herself, her Wings opening rapidly before shifting Blitz¡¯s Skill towards ¡°Magnetic Amplification¡±, attracting the lightning to fall down violently. Sabel did not hesitate, rising her Unique Arma, surrounding it in Holy Light before releasing it over Mafel, counting on Luna¡¯s body to shield her while helping in shielding the grey-haired one from at least the initial wave, long enough for her to poke her own Unique Arma to the ground, gold-tinted Malice violently erupting to drown out the shocks nearby. Amber instead merely released her Aura in full, combining her four highest Affinities in a single attack, outshining the lightning for an instant.

The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, finding it easy to use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database; at this Rank this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can be accessed actively. The owner will have increased Resistance to all Attributes and a natural Resistance to Status Effects. The owner is able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their Affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes but because of ¡°Singularity¡± the increase is redirected towards No Attribute Affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner of this Skill¡¯s, adding their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored Souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill. Also at D-Rank the owner can use Vital Energy to control and shape their Blood and Mana to Shape shadows and thanks to ¡°Singularity¡±, the owner is able to Shape Black Blood instead.

Additionally Limits on Magical Affinities, Energy Control and Conversion Efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at E-Rank will be that the increases in an Attribute Affinity will, instead, increases No Attribute Affinity. At D-Rank, all Sustain Costs are negated and the Stability of any construct made of Energy is brought to the maximum. At C-Rank, the User¡¯s Energy is too dense for other¡¯s to interfere with it, upgrading¡¯s the owner¡¯s Status Resistance to Nullification.

Chapter 60 10/7 3:31 (Autumn, Day, Midrar) ¡°You know, you are quite unfair, Amber. You are lucky you are cute or I would have stabbed you.¡± Luna commented calmly once the overwhelming light and sound ceased, her Auric Beast¡¯s Wings and Tails, previously having formed a cocoon to protect her and Sabel, opened up to reveal the two of them, the black-haired one being held securely in the other¡¯s arms. ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous.¡± The Phoenix corrected, a teasing smile on her face. ¡°You are going to stab me all the same. The previous attack changed nothing about it but the fact that you find me more impressive than before.¡± The previous explosion was caused by the Wind-Attribute amplifying the Fire-Attribute while her Curse- and Holy-Attributes destructively annihilated each other to vastly increase the Potency of the resulting blow. This attack¡¯s only advantage was its Range while its attack power was actually quite disappointing for its effort, it was still more than enough to completely eliminate Luna¡¯s [Thunder Fall] and force Luna to shield both herself and Sabel from the blaze. The Lunarian¡¯s and Phoenix¡¯s gaze met for an instant before the fight restarted in full. The swordwoman landed on her feet, her Aura concentrating around her blade and in so doing reflecting and containing her Light within her sword¡¯s edge before she swung towards Luna, the white-haired one stepping back outside of the sword¡¯s reach only for the Light to go forward, her variation of a [Flying Slash], Art that was immediately destroyed by Luna¡¯s own [Reaping Moon] launched by one of her Auric Tail, forcing Sabel to dodge sideways in an hurry. Before Luna could take advantage of her distraction however, she was stopped by needing to close her Wings around her as a concentrated, spinning purple beam with a golden core started to slowly drill within the Aura Wings, at least for a little bit. As the Wing resisted this process, the Holy- and Curse-Attributes making up the attack soon enough were forced to interact with each other and as was only natural between the two Attributes in particular, both of them were directly converted into force, covering the red-eyed one in an explosion that sent even the black-haired one flying back. Sabel spun in mid-air, twisting her body enough to dodge the Lance made out of Auric Feathers launched by within the explosion, before sending forth another [Light Slash] that was this time pierced by an Auric Tail that was stopped from trying to impale her by being forced to join the others in blocking Amber¡¯s attack. The blonde¡¯s sword and her arms were enveloped by the three Tails, stopping the thrust dead on before she was pulled forward, a punch burying itself in her stomach before slamming her in the floor, the air around Luna¡¯s fist starting to hum dangerously before a wave of force rippled from there, slamming Amber to the ground even harder than before. The blonde swung up with her Unique Arma and causing the white-haired one to retreat or risk the Unique Skill ¡°Piercer¡± being activated on any possible attack, the reason she was also being carefull of Mafel¡¯s and Sabel¡¯s attack as the Unique Skill could also be activated on them. Flames ammassed in Amber¡¯s right hand before she released a concentrated wave of flames that forced the Lunarian to jump sideways before this last one created a blade of Black Blood and Vital Mana in her right hand to block Sabel¡¯s own Light-clad one. Luna stepped forward, forcing her Human Mate back while pointing her left hand back to block another one of Mafel¡¯s Spells, the purple and gold bullet shattering over an hastily created wall made out of compressed air, Black Blood and Vital Mana, taking advantage of the secondary effect of her Oath about Artifacts she gained thanks to her temporarily increased Rank in ¡°Oath Making¡±, she could substitute the Quality of the air with the Quality of her own Black Blood. Amber fell from above, her high-speed kick being blocked by one of Luna¡¯s Tails before jumping away with an explosion to dodge the answering swing of one of her Wings, her Feathers being launched at high speed to follow her movements and distract her. A vast Magical Circle was created above the red-eyed one, her gaze while looking at nothing was still concentrated on every single one of her temporary opponents, as shown by her Tails rampaging in the area around her to block the Curse-Attribute Bullets sent by Mafel with the intent of destroying said Magic Circle before it could be activated. Air was quickly condensed within Luna¡¯s mouth released before she released it in a roar, exploding forth in a wave of destruction that blocked the concentrated Cursed Flames released by Amber, the fight between the two attack continuing on for a significant amount of time before Luna was forced to break the deadlock, twisting her blade to deflect Sabel, pulling her forward before kicking her away outside of the range of the flames and jumping away herself. Energy concentrated around Luna¡¯s fist before she punched forward, a wave of force rippling forth from her and forcing Sabel back various steps, the Vampiric Being stopping in mid-air, held afloat by her Auric Wings before the Magic Circle above them fully activated. Light erupted from it before falling down in the shape of rays of force that bombarded the entire training room, giving Luna enough time to finish adapting to her increase in power. From Amber¡¯s body an immense wave of flames erupted, fighting back against the continuous waves, soon joined by a wave of Miasma released by Mafel. Sabel took advantage of the distraction caused by the clashing attacks to sneak behind Luna, golden Light accumulating around her blade before she thrusted through her Mate¡¯s back in a surprise attack, enhanced by Amber¡¯s ¡°Piercer¡±. Her sword pierced Luna¡¯s heart, her red eyes opening wide in surprise that all three of her Mates could easily have recognize as false in other circustance before, unable to hold back her expression twisted in a grin, her body dissolving in a mass of Black Blood that surrounded the Human¡¯s body, trapping her, before she was thrown back to the ground at high speed. High-density Energy accumulated around Luna¡¯s hands before she unleashed various beams of force towards all three of her Mates, significantly increasing the pressure her attacks posed on them, and buying herself enough time for her next step. Her Wings straighten out fully before separating from her body and joining together, forming what looked like a Bow that Luna held on to firmly, her Auric Beast shattering into motes of Aura that then condensed in a large mass larger even then her own 182 cm tall frame. Black lightning caused by Blitz¡¯s ¡°Electrify¡±, based upon her Vital Mana Control instead of her nonexistent Lightning-Attribute Affinity as was natural for this Skill, emanated violently from the mass before Warden¡¯s ¡°Barrier¡± surrounded it and condensing both the mass and electricity in a vaguely arrow-like Shape. The Arrow, if so it could be called considering the differences in size between it and its maker, leaned on the makeshift Bow before launching down, the air screaming as an high-speed Arrow more similar to a ballista¡¯s bolt then otherwise fell down, its target not any of her Mates but towards the floor, in an empty area away from all of them. The Bolt fell, the air screaming as it spun on itself to help keep its shape, as her three Mates joined in together, their Attributes and Auras massing together before exploding forth. Attribute-less black lightning exploded forth from the point of impact, filling the entirety of the arena, at least before a wave of Fire, Air, Light, Holy and Curse Attribute infused Aura fought back against it, pushing it back and winning the confrontation shortly before it itself exhausted. Luna nodded, satisfied of their spar, her Auric Beast forming around her body again before she gently lowered herself to the ground, landing firmly. ¡°Well, this is enough for right now.¡± She nodded to herself before finally turning off her ¡°Core Implosion¡±. And as a conseguence of it, she immediately after dropped unconscious, her Aura holding on around her for a little bit longer, missing the Status update because of the stress caused by the immediate increase in Rank. - 10/7 12:25 (Autumn, Sunset, Ocean) Sider looked to the slowly rising in the distance, breathing in deeply as she tried to figure out where exactly she was right now as she in theory she should still be at least three weeks, as she was being safe, away from land yet she was able to easily see land. ¡°Where am I?¡± She lamented, in part towards nothing at all and in the other towards the Divine Beast Leviathan, the one responsible for moving her away from her previous trajectory, and doing it willingly as it not only moved her but while refilling her boat¡¯s Well, it also modified her boat¡¯s command to account for the new position. The black-haired one shook her head quickly, leaving behind her previous hesitation and deciding to wait until she would reach her new destination and trying to figure out what the Divine Beast wanted with transporting her here, but without too much apprehention. After all, the three Highest Divine Beasts were made long ago by all the Gods working together to safeguard all the People of Gaea.

Chapter 61 ?/? ?:? (???) Luna woke, her eyes quickly exploring the air around herself to confirm that she was in her room within their base and noting how she was currently alone. She made to rise but was only able to sit up, finding herself barely able to move as her eyes quickly noted the differences in the room itself before focusing on her clothes, a soft pajama cladding her body. Soon after her eyes turned to the door, earing hurried footsteps nearing her room before she saw her door slamming open violently as a grey-haired Amber¡¯s eyes swelled with tears upon their meeting before she launched forward in a desperate embrace, throwing the two of them back to the bed. ¡°For how long was I unconscious?¡± Luna calmly wondered, her arms rising to embrace her now-grey haired Mate, her Senses stretching sluggishly because of her still present Soul-based stress, sitting up again with Amber on her laps. ¡°You were in a coma for 98 years.¡± Amber sobbed before she raised up and then kissing Luna hungrily, pushing her Mate back before deepening their kiss in an instant before a little while later the Lunarian separated the two. ¡°Seriously, how long was I sleeping?¡± Luna asked yet again before nearing their faces together in a light kiss again. ¡°98 years¡­?¡± Amber answered, traces of panic starting to surface in her eyes once she saw the amused gaze of her Mate. ¡°No, Amber. I know very well that 98 years didn¡¯t pass while I was sleeping.¡± Luna calmly asserted, her left hand playing with Amber¡¯s hairs. ¡°Wha-what are you talking about? Y-you must still be confused but don¡¯t worry, everything is going to be okay, just¡­¡± Amber panicked, her eyes unfocusing from her white-haired Mate and subconsciously seeking help from the area around her before a pair of fingers belonging to Luna¡¯s right hand gently grabbed her chin and stilled her movements. Luna¡¯s smile widened, her eyes glinting as if she found a delicious prey, prey that Amber quickly recognized as herself as with a deft movement the Lunarian twisted their position, the Phoenix quikly being forced down, trapped by the Lunarian¡¯s arms between her and the bed. ¡°Should I count out all the way I know you are lying?¡± Luna breathed out, her half-lidded eyes trapping Amber underneath her even more than her arms ever could before taking her silence as an assence. ¡°First of all, Phoenix go not go gray. Your hairs would go from yellow to orange, then red, then would gradually darken until, less than a week from your death by old age, thing that is possible for the Phoenix that don¡¯t reach a certain Rank by a certain age, they become black. Your nature as an half-Demon should not impart this process majorly outside of giving you even more time, sure, but you would not naturally go gray.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know you knew that¡­¡± Amber¡¯s complaint was quite low in volume, most of her attention being on something other than the explanation at the moment. ¡°In addition to that, I can see your still blonde roots from here and in a Phoenix they are the first thing to change. Before you say that you are dieing your hairs, I am certain that if you really cared to change hair colors, you would most likely dye them completely. In addition you are still at too similar a level of power then before I lost consciousness.¡± Luna sit up fully, her gaze at least for the moment more then enough to maintain her Mate underneath her. ¡°And speaking of power, thanks to the Mate¡¯s Mark I can easily gauge the status of any of my Mates, giving me both more than enough proof that neither Sabel or Mafel lived that long and letting me feel from their emotions that they are currently watching us.¡± At that she launched a look towards their current location, amusement clear in her gaze while the Phoenix trapped underneath her flinched in confirmation. Before the currently grey-haired one could stummer out a response, the Lunarian continued. ¡°In addition, even if I was sleeping, thing I wasn¡¯t actually doing as I was meditating the entire time -¡± The pointed comment caused a flinch in Amber before she continued. ¡°- I would have automatically reached at least C-Rank and probably B-Rank. Finally and most importantly I am still connected to the Moon and at a minimum I would have felt the passage of the Red Moons and the near Blood Moon.¡± Having finished her explanation and being entertained by both watching her physically present Mate squirm and by feeling the emotions from her other two Mates. ¡°Now, how long was I asleep for?¡± Amber closing her eyes, her lips twisting in a pout as her hairs erupted in golden flames before settling down in her normal blonde with purple highlights hairs, the dye burning away. ¡°You were sleeping -¡± the orange-eyed one ignored the ¡®Meditating¡¯ that Luna corrected. ¡°- for around two days. Do who ever is trying to ambush you knows that you were, well your situation?¡± ¡°Excellent, I am still in time for Sabel¡¯s birthday then.¡± And at the second question, Luna smiled viciously, launching a look to until then ignored System Notifications. ¡°And reguarding the five of them, well, let¡¯s just say that I prepared a wonderfull gift for them while I was unconscious.¡± *Luna Gained 2090 x 2 Magicules. *Luna¡¯s Growth Skill ¡°Soul Harmony¡± C, Innate Skill ¡°Lunar Resistance¡± D, Innate Skill ¡°Presence: Charm¡± E, Innate Skill ¡°Enhancement: Status Alteration¡± E and Ability Skill ¡°Meditation¡± C increases in Rank. ¡°Oh, foreboding. Now could you please rise, I can¡¯t move.¡± Amber asked, trying to show no weakness before her Mate, all this with the very present desire to, not run but make a strategic retreat. ¡°No, I won¡¯t.¡± Luna refused calmly but decisive, her gaze having found victory. ¡°After all, you like being under me.¡± She smiled, her fangs glinting dangerously. ¡°But Sabel and Mafel are - ¡± The once-again blonde tried to protest on deaf ears. ¡°- Watching us, yes. So? I don¡¯t mind at all if they watch or even join us.¡± The white-haired one shamelessly affirmed, her gaze alone filled with enough desire to make the Demonic blooded one red in the face. ¡°The fact is, I was sleeping for long enough and now I want you and you want me. I don¡¯t see the problem.¡± The Lunarian layed down upon her Mate, nearing her neck before biting, her limbs¡¯ torpor melting away before they engaged more deeply. Within the Base¡¯s securety room, presenting around 15 screens letting the inhabitants gaze anywhere both within their Base and ¡­ A red-faced Sabel hurriedly stood up, covering her very red face with her hands because of the result of their little pranks. ¡°Wha- Shut it off!¡± She exclaimed hurriedly towards Mafel only to recieve in response an half-lidded gaze, an amused expression within this last one¡¯s face before she turned back to the screens, changing most of them to Luna¡¯s temporary bedroom, letting them see the two from various angles. ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I¡¯m not going to. If you really don¡¯t want to see them go at it, you should actually close your eyes instead of peeking between your fingers. Not that I think you will be able to resist for long. After all, even if Luna can stop herself from sending out her own feelings in the middle of something like that, Amber cannot do the same for long. So, Sabel, I suggest you prepare for the night.¡± The Elf smiled, amused before going what she just suggested as she fully turned towards her monitors, crossing her legs as she fully relaxed. ¡°Pervert, no, perverts. All of my Mates are perverts!¡± The Human lamented, currently very red in the face, before being able to barely stop herself from moaning at feeling a wave of pleasure belonging to Amber, thing that her tallest Mate did not bother doing at all. ¡°I can assure you, you will greatly and personally enjoy that fact very soon.¡± Her grey-haired Mate promised in a low whisper, the gaze in her purple and gold eyes more than enough to cause the black-haired one to step back, swallowing hard as a ¡®pervert¡¯ escaped her mouth. - 10/9 12:11 (Autumn, Sunset, Mysterious Island) Sider looked out from her ship slowly circling the island, her silver eyes narrowed in focus as she tried to figure out both where she was and why she was moved here. From her voyage around the landmass she was unable to find any trace of civilization upon its surface yet she was sent here specifically and none of the three Great Divine Beasts did anything upon a whim at all. All the same the black-haired Werewolf was certain that something was off with the island, considering how in the over a day she spent in observation, she was unable to find any living Beings upon the island. Without hesitating, Sider threw herself in the water, capturing a turtle swimming nearby before moving towards the apparently-empty island and, carefully not touching its beach before gently posing the animal on its sand, examining its reaction. Under her expectant gaze, the turtle examined their new position before stilling, their eyes glazing over and then the little turtle started to move on their own towards deeper in, Sider hesitantly and carefully following them from a distance.

Chapter 62 10/9 16:05 (Autumn, Night, Midrar) Luna stretched, enjoying greatly the way her body felt right now, full of Energy as she left their bed, careful not to disturb her Mate, her silent steps leading her outside, stopping briefly at the door as her Aura released in full and gently covering her sleeping Amber, adjusting her blanket, her smallest Mate being exhausted by this point because of the combination of their intense, over three hours long activities and the use of ¡°Energy Siphon¡± to help the red-eyed one recover from her Limit-based stress caused by her ¡°Core Implosion¡±. The white-haired one quietly opened the door, her Aura expanding into various ephemeral copies of her own arms to silently open the door and adjust Amber¡¯s blanket around her to leave her as comfortable as possible while she was absent. Afterwards Luna casually followed her Marks towards her other two Mates, her Aura being constantly Shaped in different forms based mostly upon her own body with arms and legs protruding to both help and hinder her progress while various wings and tails forming before they collapsed back into Aura, quickly finding them together in the monitoring room. ¡°Amber is going to be out for a long while more and you two still need to sleep, so cease peeking and let¡¯s go to bed.¡± Luna firmly yet gently ordered, her voice causing Sabel to jump on her feet because of her suprise. ¡°We- I wasn¡¯t pe-peeking, I-I just- Why are you naked?!¡± She startled in surprise before screaming and partially covering her eyes at the Lunarian. ¡°Because I didn¡¯t bother with wearing clothes before I came here?¡± The red-eyed one answered, confused by the fact that the question was ever made in the first case, finding the cause to be self-evident. ¡°And it¡¯s useless to lie, you two were peeking on us, I felt your emotions for the entirety of the last hours, denial is useless.¡± She smugly explained, satisfied. ¡°Didn¡¯t you shut off our emotional Link while you were with Amber?¡± Mafel wondered even while her golden eyes were focused on enjoying the show freely offered. ¡°I mean, sure, I could shut off our emotional Link at any time and I sometimes do to limit my transfer towards all three of you but why should I shut it off completely? Your emotions are all so wonderfully vivid, after all.¡± Luna wondered, enjoying Amber¡¯s contentment, Mafel¡¯s curiosity mixed with lust and Sabel¡¯s own mix of confusion, embarassment and her own lust. ¡°I see, yeah, it makes sense considering how young your Soul is.¡± The Elf exclaimed to herself, satisfied, before upon seeing the curious gaze of said Mate, explained. ¡°the age of a Soul is measured not in years but in lives, in perspectives. Amber had seventy-two lives before this one, Sabel had ninety-three and I, if we consider my previous self and my current one as a single life, had eighty. You instead are only on your fourth one if we consider Scarlet and you to be one and the same. And in addition to that your Soul is a self-made one. It¡¯s no wonder then that your emotions and perspective are very muted in comparison to other People.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Luna calmly said before asking something that just popped up in her mind. ¡°Do you know anything about my previous Lives?¡± She asked calmly, more curious that really interested in the answer. ¡°Well, I can confirm that your first Life was something akin to a Monster that obtained a Soul of their own through the consumption of small pieces of other Souls over a very long period of time considering their still massive influence over you. I would say that they were very passive before their death, as evident by your own mostly-reactive nature. Having said that, I can only be sure of your first life because they were, by an immense margin, the strongest one, with none being able to reach it. At least up to now.¡± The Medium added this last part upon noting the gaze of her Mate but she had no need to wonder if she hurt her feelings as Luna was merely trying to wonder about her previous life¡¯s power. ¡°Make sense. In that case I think my first life was either plant- or spider-based considering my distaste for eating and the fact that neither eat solid foods.¡± ¡°Right, something like that. The bleeding of such characteristics would be common in so small a number of Reincarnations, especially in erroneous ones that maintain their Unique Skill, like your own.¡± ¡°Hey, how could you two speak so normally in this situation?!¡± Sabel exploded with embarassment and stress caused by the two speaking so calmly all the while Luna was just standing there naked, causing two pair of eyes to fell on her, amused. ¡°Sweetie, a professional Medium needs to be able to maintain composure regardless of their situation or present company.¡± Mafel calmly corrected before, with a small dangerous smile, she proceded towards her black haired Mate, moving and then embracing her from behind causing their Human to yelp in surprise and briefly trying to fight back. Said protests were silenced soon after by Luna¡¯s lips in a brief kiss before the Lunarian ended it soon after, her Aura shaping itself into multiple limbs that lifted up both of her Mates up before resting the black-haired one within the white-haired one¡¯s arms and the grey-haired one was gently posed on Luna¡¯s back. Quickly Luna left the observation room, Sabel being carefully held in Luna¡¯s arms while Mafel¡¯s arms encircled her shoulders in an embrace, the red-eyed one adjusting them with Aura limbs before moving back to their room. Sabel stammered in embarrassment before closing her eyes, trying and failing to ignore the fact that the two of them were flushed tight against each other while Mafel instead just enjoyed their situation and her Mate¡¯s emotions in silent bliss thanks to their Marks¡¯ sharing their feelings. - 10/9 12:11 (Autumn, Sunset, Mysterious Island) Sider hesitantly stepped on the island, her body at the moment composed of Living Stone as she was careful not to directly enter in contact with it, following behind the turtle she just set free on the beach while ready to jump away the instant she felt any thought that wasn¡¯t her own. ¡°I don¡¯t like this. At all.¡± She affirmed, her senses stretched to the maximum to find anything off with the air around her. Her Qi surrounded her stone body, finding a trace of the culprit behind this anomaly. The air and everything else in the island was filled with Qi and if this was all, it would be a wonderful news for her and her clan¡¯s future as a source, even if the Qi itself was very thin. However she did not dare to take in any of the Qi around her to accelerate her Cultivation as she was able to quickly feel the Miasma making up most of the Qi itself, granting it a powerful corruptive influence that, so long as she didn¡¯t take in any of it, she would be able to resist. Her stone muscles, Living Stone being somehow both flexible and rigid at the same time, clenched before relaxing with every single one of her steps, the magma taking the place of her blood slowly flowing within her veins, warming her body from the inside to fight back against the coldness natural to this island. While Sider followed the turtle at a significant distance, she tried to understand the Qi around her, thing rendered quite a bit easier considering how step after step the concentration of Qi slowly increased as she neared the center of the island, more specifically the mountain at the center of the island she was able to glimpse in the distance. Electricity coursed around her body before it moved deeper in her body, flowing within the melted rock functioning at least for now in place of her blood and as a conseguence the Werewolf shuddered, her muscles spasming briefly before she forcefully retook control of her muscles. The Lightning-Attribute Mana flowing within her body was released in repeating pulses, helping the black-haired one in analyzing the false Qi surrounding her as static shocks circled the area around the silver-eyed one as an additional form of defense, just in case. The turtle proceded unimpeded, their steps sure despite the lack of any familiarity with the terrain around and, step after step, cracks spread all over its body with scales falling down around it to no particular reaction from the reptile before new, much sharper and darker ones violently exploded from beneath them, expanding their cracks. This process continued as more and more of its parts fell apart behind them, red blood, bone, scales and flesh slipping down its body before being substitute by new ones, they, no, it, as step after step it became victim of the process called Monsterization, ignored the pain completely, its fascination forbidding it to react to said agony. It breathed in deeply before, with its exhale, it rejected its previous organs, new ones forming underneath its shell and pushing its now obsolete organs from its mouth, a minuscule layer of Miasma starting to generate around it while its shell pulsed, cracks forming in it as cancerous new flesh solidified to form a new, bigger and sturdier shell. Step after step, this process repeated itself as the turtle slowly Mutated into a Monster and if this was all, it would not be that strange if not for its speed but the thing that caused a shiver in Sider was the fact a Qi Circulatory System was forming within its body as its false Qi sluggishly flowed within it. Status Magicules 139.033 Grade VI Magicules a Day 2.346 Title: N/A Resistances Damage Resistance Status Effect Nullification Racial: Lunarian D A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity.

Chapter 63 10/10 0:03 (Autumn, Sunrise, Midrar) *Luna Gains 2.346 Magicules. *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°Crafting¡± D Increases to C. Sabel slowly woke up, trying to stretch only to find it impossible as she quickly recognized her position. Her eyes, upon opening, met the amused red ones belonging to Luna before she was able to fully understand her situation, her face quickly reddening. The Human was currently resting her face on the Lunarian¡¯s chest while the Phoenix and the Elf were resting their head on the white-haired one¡¯s shoulders in either side of the two, held down by her other two Mate¡¯s arms. The red-faced one would have found it much less embarassing if not for their state of dress, or more specifically state of undress as while Mafel and herself were both in just their sleepwear, Luna and Amber both were completely naked with all four of them being gently enveloped by Luna¡¯s Aura, as were they during the entirety of the previous night. ¡°Happy birthday, my little Sabel.¡± Luna whispered before her Aura formed a pair of arms to guide her in a brief kiss before the Human was led back in her previous position. ¡°Now, rest a little more.¡± Sabel closed her eyes, falling back asleep as Luna¡¯s Auric Hands gently lulled her back to rest, her gaze barely able to make out another Luna made out of Black Blood entering the room while holding something, what she was quickly able to figure out was a newly-created Artifact, covered by bandanges, a very cruel light in Luna¡¯s eyes. - 10/9 12:26 (Autumn, Sunset, Mysterious Island) Previously, Sider beholded as the turtle, step after step fell apart before reforming, bigger, stronger, sturdier and a little, even if just a touch, faster. Not only that but as the Cultivator focused on feeling out the Monster with her Qi Sense, a process that should have been instinctively considered as an immediate attack but was instead completely ignored by the turtle, noting the formation of a rudimentary Qi Circulatory System within it, thing normally impossible with so tiny a quantity of both time and Qi. This denied to her that her initial hypothesis of a very strong Cultivator died here and in so doing twisted the area. Something was actively messing with the Magicules in the air, rendering it similar to a twisted variant of Qi and corrupting all of them, creating a Monster with a biological makeshift Qi Circulatory System with a single Meridian in comparison to her own eight Meridians. The black-haired one silently prepared, her right hand opening and closing a couple of times before it transformed in a mass of fur and claws, electricity vibrating around her metallic claws before she sent forward a very light shock, trying to prompt it to react to a more direct form of attack. The turtle fell briefly before planting its limbs firmly to the ground, pulling itself up before continuing on its journey indifferently, its vacuous gaze not moving from its destination. At seeing such, the silver-eyed one did not hesitate, Lightning-Attribute Mana accumulating around her rocky right hand before she swung forth at full strenght and with a thunderclap, the Monster exploded violently, parts of its body sent flying all over the place. By this point she already figured out where it was moving towards and so she had no more need for its life nor could she risk it becoming an obstacle in the future. Sider continued forward, her gaze and Qi sense focused on her destination as her rocky body enveloped in lightning burned her footprints upon the grassy terrain underneath her at a fast but manageable pace, without the use of any of her Vital Energy, Mana and above all of her Qi, her senses stretched out fully to feel out any changes in the area around her towards the mountain at the center of this island lost in... wherever she was. During the whole of her running there she found no recent traces belonging to any living things, Monsters or otherwise, with the latest traces, excluding the now deceased turtle, was to more than three weeks prior and belonging to Monsters at that, while the latest traces of animal life were more than a month old with traces of insectile life were even older than that, and significantly at that. She stopped at the foot of the mountain, her imprint involontarily being left in the ground, before stretching lightly, her body while temporarily being comprised of rocks still more than flexible enough to do just that. Electricity surged briefly around her before shutting off completely to dodge its cumulatively increasing in its cost, her body turning back into flesh to similarly minimize the stress from her [Living Stone Technique] while her Living Weapon was being kept dormant to eliminate the risk it would absorb any of this island¡¯s quasi-Qi. She sat against a tree, resting underneath its shade while eating a snack she brought with her to help recover faster before closing her eyes, faking having fallen asleep to try and invite an attack. A good twenty minutes later she sighed, ending her impromtu session of meditation on her Qi with no attack on her nor was there any change in the area around her, before standing up at her full two meters height, turning in full towards the mountain and moving forward. ¡°I hate mountain climbing.¡± Sider complained half-heartedly, her boots stored within her spacial ring, a difficult Artifact to create, sure, but even so the most widespread as their invention was popularized by an Otherworlder long ago with an Unique Skill capable of easily mass production them around four to five centuries ago. Her skin after all was more than durable enough to deal with the ground underneath her feet between her high Rank, her status as a body-focused Cultivator and her various Skills. Pebbles were crushed underneath her feet as she started up on her hiking trail, if so it could be called, jumping from rock to rock, her senses especially her Qi one searching incessantly for any particular anomaly in the flow of the fake Qi. And finally after another ten minutes searching for traces, she was able to find the precise direction it was flowing from, process rendered quite a bit more difficult by the fact that she was actually quite bad at feeling out the ground around her, paradoxically for an Earth Cultivator being better with Lightning than Earth itself, as shown by her use of Thunder Gems in battle and her altering the [Living Stone Technique] to integrate electricity into it to increase her ease of use. ¡°A Dungeon? No, this is not a Dungeon. It¡¯s more similar to a Divine Realm but not exactly.¡± She scowled at the cavern from which the fake-Qi flowed, well acquainted with both of those kind of places, the first where Magicules and Miasma massed together until they created a Dungeon Core, distorting then space until Monsters start to automatically generate within it, while the seconds was a similar type of place as Dungeons however, instead of Magicules and Miasma, Qi is the thing that accumulated until it distorts the laws of physics until it matches the flavour of the Qi until it is exhausted. The black-haired Werewolf proceded forward, stealthily entering the mouth of the cave, or at least as stealthily as she could be as a two meters tall and very muscular Werewolf-Amazon hybrid that was never properly taught how to fight as a rogue, and finding the air around her to flow wierdly while being strangely heavy and hard to walk through. Finally she met the first inhabitants of this Dungeon-Divine Realm combination, a group of four Goblins? No, they were certaintly similar to that kind of Monsters but on the inside they were quite different considering how they had a more refined version of the same One-Meridian, biological Qi Circularory System that was being built within the now very dead turtle. Sider stepped forward, a grave expression on her face, a loose rock being crushed underneath her feet and in so doing alerting the four ¡°Goblins¡± that hurriedly turned towards her, three immediately taking up spears while the fourth, the one farthest from her turned and ran deeper in. The Werewolf stepped forward further, her hands opening and closing, before she moved left, dodging the thrust from one of said ¡°Goblins¡± moving at an unexpected speed considering their E-Rank, leading Sider to raise an eyebrow in surprise before she herself attacked, grabbing it by its face before smashing it into the ground, electricity couring her body before exploding forth, charring it immediately from the inside out, killing it. Differently from a Dungeon Monster, said Goblin did not start to dissipate at high-speed immediately, instead behaving like a Monster unbound from a Dungeon in remaining stubbornly existent, her gaze moving towards the other two ¡°Goblins¡± still currently in the room, noting how the other two were now surrounded by an Aura of Miasma, their fake-Qi starting to actively strenghten them instead of passively only. Another ¡°Goblin¡± jumped towards her, its Aura concetrating around its spear before it swung rapidly multiple times, sharp shockwaves flying from every single one of its attacks, this still far from enough to let it hit her. The proper Cultivator observed the way her prey¡¯s used its fake-Qi before nodding satisfied, her own Qi moving towards her right hand, before she punched, crushing its heart and most of its chest at once before a sharp shockwave destroyed the rest of its body at once by imitating its attacks. The black-haired one fully turned towards the last of the Monsters still in the room, her silver eyes meeting its dark gaze, its Aura concentrating around her spear before it thrusted forward towards her own heart, crossing the ten meters between them in an instant. In response Sider simply moved right while striking the shaft with a left palm strike covered in her own Qi to deflect the attack away from herself before she attacked back, Qi sharpening around her right hand for an instant to create a [Qi Blade] that she used to decapicate the last of the ¡°Goblins¡±. Lightning-Attribute Mana accumulated around her left hand again before it fell, frying the body of her opponent and decisely ending the fight. ¡°This Fake-Qi is much less effective than normal Qi at boosting a Cultivator but is probably much easier to create, I suppose. As demonstrated by the fight itself, I guess. Their strenght, even considering how I am a B-Rank Werewolf and they E-Rank Goblins, was way too low to be Cultivators at the same stage as myself, [Foundation Establishment]. However they were way too smart and skilled for what they were. Is it better at enhancing that in respect to power itself? No, I strongly doubt that.¡± Sider sighed, emotionally exhausted. ¡°It¡¯s no time to stop, Sider. Let¡¯s take care of this as fast as possible.¡± - 10/9 13:02 (Autumn, Night, Oceans) The Leviathan moved, Their body currently composed by water alone attraversing the oceans, lazily hunting for any other Abomination to devour while most of Their attention focused on searching any major irregularity in the Layer of the World They were the Guardian of. They briefly wondered if this Werewolf would be able to deal with the island, differently from the other four People They previously sent before deciding. If she also failed, They would call upon support from Their two Siblings and simply erase the whole island, any living thing on it and all of its Energy. After all it was as good an excuse as any for the Guardians to meet again despite Their different Roles. In an instant the Guardian of the Middle Layer decided, Their Will expanding over the entire World, before conveying Their message to Their Siblings, casually and instantly doing something that would have left a fully-Incarnated God absolutely exhausted and in their cases needed previous preparations. >-[¡°¡® L : POTENTIAL THREAT ISLAND CORRUPTED QI BEINGS MEETING SOON ¡¯¡±]-< Soon after, They recieved Their first, unsurprisingly curt response from Their Sibling whose Role was taking care of the Bottom Layer, the Behemoth, currently busy in a free-for-all with Beasts larger than most manors. >-[¡°¡® B : AGREEMENT ¡¯¡±]-< A couple of seconds later, a significant wait for Beings like them, their other Siblings, the one whose Role was the Protection of the World from external Threats, the Ziz responded too, in a manner not unlike Their usual Self. >-[¡°¡® Z : RISK THREAT EXTERMINATE ¡¯¡±]-< The response was not unlike Theirself as of the three They were the most ruthless and most solitary of them, well accustomed to simply erase all possible threats to the World immediately and deeply disliking having to leave Their Topmost Layer, an emotional response caused from when Their past immaturity was taken advantage of by the Lunarians to launch their invasion. But They knew very well Their Siblings and so Their response was already prepared in advance. >-[¡°¡® L : AGENT EXCUSE DESIRE ¡¯¡±]-< >-[¡°¡® Z : TREE STRANGE DESTROY ¡¯¡±]-< >-[¡°¡® L : TREE USEFUL PURIFICATION ¡¯¡±]-< >-[¡°¡® Z : DISTRACTION ¡¯¡±]-< This contined for a while, neither of Them willing to cede Their position as the Ziz offered excuse after excuse only for the Leviathan to shatter Them, this process repeating itself various times and as the Leviathan planned from the start, where They would be unable to win¡­ >-[¡°¡® B : DISRUPTION MEETING ¡¯¡±]-< The Behemoth would for Them, as shown by Their order, bringing an immediate end to Their argument in an instant and accepting no rebuttal as They all were well aware that the Ziz would like to meet Them and was only Their rampant paranoia that fueled Their negations. >-[¡°¡® L : AGREEMENT ¡¯¡±]-< >-[¡°¡® Z : HESITATION AGREEMENT ¡¯¡±]-< Status Magicules 141.379 Grade VI Magicules a Day 721 + 1.000 + 500 + 141 = 2.362 Title: N/A Resistances Damage Resistance Status Effect Nullification Racial: Lunarian D A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity. The owner has no need for breathing and this body will not be affected by time, finding it easy to use their Vital Energy, that will regenerate automaticaly. The owner can see in the dark perfectly, will never forget anything they experienced personally, with the addition of the knowledge obtained from the Moon¡¯s database; at this Rank this knowledge while mostly subconscious, can be accessed actively. The owner will have increased Resistance to all Attributes and a natural Resistance to Status Effects. The owner is able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules. The owner will also, normally, have a large increase to their Affinity to both Dark and Curse Attributes but because of ¡°Singularity¡± the increase is redirected towards No Attribute Affinity. Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner of this Skill¡¯s, adding their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored Souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill. Also at D-Rank the owner can use Vital Energy to control and shape their Blood and Mana to Shape shadows and thanks to ¡°Singularity¡±, the owner is able to Shape Black Blood instead. Unique: Singularity C A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape. The owner of such a Soul cannot use any Attribute Magic of any type; however Magic that doesn¡¯t depend on any Attribute will be vastly enhanced and so will be the ease in the control of Mana and Energy in general and the efficiency and speed of any Energetic conversion and transfer. Additionally Limits on Magical Affinities, Energy Control and Conversion Efficiency will be nullified. The final effect at E-Rank will be that the increases in an Attribute Affinity will, instead, increases No Attribute Affinity. At D-Rank, all Sustain Costs are negated and the Stability of any construct made of Energy is brought to the maximum. At C-Rank, the User¡¯s Energy is too dense for other¡¯s to interfere with it, upgrading¡¯s the owner¡¯s Status Resistance to Nullification. At C-Rank, the owner can also start the process of [Annihilating Conversion] but is not able to properly brought it to completion, releasing instead a beam of Energy influenced by all the Skills of the owner by consuming all the Matter and Energy in the area, activated at no cost but with a Cooldown of 30 days {20 days}. Growth: Soul Harmony B This Skill denotes that the owner¡¯s Soul is moving towards harmony guided by their Unique Skill, their Soul being strenghtened by this process and increased ease of use of the owner¡¯s Energy and their Potential. Finally, every day, the owner will receive Magicules equal to the total Rank of all their other Skills times 7. At D-Rank the owner¡¯s Vital Energy and Mana Quantity are further increased. At C-Rank, the owner¡¯s Soul is further in harmony with itself reducing sharply Cooldowns while enhancing their Essence and Existence. At B-Rank, the owner¡¯s Vital Energy Quality and Recovery and Mana Quality and Recovery are increased. Growth: Unique Arma: Sorcerous Armor of the Singularity C A person could be considered such if they have an Unique Skill, whether Active or not. This is nothing but the use of Orichalcum to manifest it in a physical form able to be wielded only by its owner. This particular Unique Arma is derived by the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡± and, as such, is extremely efficient at Converting, Transfering and Amplifying Energy. Additionally, this Skill increases the Quantity and the Recovery of Energy of the owner, depending on this and the Unique Skill ¡°Singularity¡±¡¯s Rank. Manifested State: _At E-Rank this Skill increases the Existence of the owner and their Spells, Techniques, Arts and Creation are Casted as if with extra Energy depending on this Skill¡¯s Rank. _At D-Rank the owner¡¯s Damage Resistance is increased and so is the Quality of all Energy of the owner. _At C-Rank it will be able to awaken by using the command ¡°Awaken!¡±. _This Skill manifests for the moment as two armored gloves covering a little beyond the owner¡¯s forearm and armor that covers the owner¡¯s feet and a little beyond their foreleg; principally made of a black scale-like material, had a circle made of Orichalcum on the center of it, both in the palm and the back of the hand with details in platinum around them connecting with a bracelet made of the same material around her wrist.

Chapter 64 10/9 13:08 (Autumn, Night, Mysterious Island) Sider, unaware that her death would mean the complete annihilation of the island she was in by the Three Divine Beasts, proceded forth without any further hesitation, well aware that by this point night fell outside of the cave but unwilling to give any further time to the Goblin that previously retreated from her. She moved forward, her ears and nose searching for any possible ambust, incredibly weak eletric shocks releasing from her body, mixing with her Qi sense to try and find any trace of her targets, her eyes, well adjusted to the lack of light, pierced the darkness of the cave immediately, her Mana flowing in the ground to subtly alter it, thing impossible in a normal Dungeon. Lightning-Attribute Mana coalesced into a physical form, crystallizing into her Thunder Gems, while rocks rose from the ground, the two materials fusing together to form in a vague approximation of her own greataxe The Werewolf twirled her new weapon around, quickly adapting to its vastly different weight in comparison to her Living Weapon, weapon that she trained with from when she was but a child. Some may wonder at the lack of hesitation in directly creating a weapon using the ground filled with this Fake-Qi using Mana while refusing to use her own Qi directly on the ground or the air around her however her sense of security had its foundation on the difference between Qi, Vital Energy and Mana. She left the initial room, finding herself in a corridor that opened up in various directions, before nodding to herself, entering the first branch she found, still making sure to be carefull not to be ambushed from behind. Mana flared around her body, solidifying in a short-lived and rough barrier that deflected the three spears thrown at her enough for Sider to dodge them, before she sent back a lightning bolt towards one of her newest adversaries. Said adversaries consisted of another group of Fake-Goblins, seven this time, with at their lead a much more developed one surrounded by a dense layer of Fake-Qi wielding pratical clothes and with a sword in its right hand. Immediately, with a sneer on its face, the D-Rank Fake-Goblin 1,6 meters tall jumped forward, swinging its sword with a mix of both great ferocity and surprisingly high skill, Fake-Qi and Mana sharpening around its blade in a [Sword Flash] directed towards the Werewolf. Said Werewolf crossed her arms before herself, Earth-Attribute Mana flaring around her body to block the attack but to her immense surprise not only was the Mana somewhat ignored by the flying slash but it was also able to cut into her skin and flesh despite their natural toughtness as both someone with ¡°Enhancement: Physicality¡± and as a Cultivator. Sider scowled, her lips twisting in a sneer as the Fake-Qi tried to invade her body, slowly starting to rot from her wounds on her arms before she without hesitation cut off her forearms, spending a lot of Vital Energy to start her recovery while her Mana flowed in the ground beneath her, causing it to violently erupt into spikes that impaled its feets to the ground. Soon after the black-haired one Channeled Lightning-Attribute Mana throught her feet, the ground and the spike themselves, causing the D-Rank Fake-Goblin to spasm as its nerves lit ablaze in pain, buying enough time for her next move. She jumped forward, twisting in mid-air to land a savage kick to its head, forcing it to bend before landing an axe-kick directly on its neck, breaking it. As the Fake-Goblin fell, she spun on herself, dodging two spear thrusts before blocking the third between her slowly regenerating forearms, Mana flaring around them to stop the Fake-Qi from invading her body, thing only possible because of its unfocused state. Using her stumps roughly, she forcefully pulled the third spear and its wielder towards her and more specifically in a rising knee that sent it up, twisting on herself hastily to line up a kick on the side of its head, smashing it on the ground hard. Without a moment of hesitation, Mana flared around her violently before it detonated with the force of a lightning bolt, deafening all five previously unharmed Fake-Goblins, killing the E-Ranked one she just subdued and putting out of commission the D-Ranker. Taking advantage of the opening, she stomped on the ground, Mana flowing before the ground rippled underneath them, rising in cuffs around her targets¡¯ ankles, making sure they would not ran away. The next step was transforming her left leg from foreleg down in its more bestial form, stopping on the only threat of this group¡¯s neck before pressing down hard, decapicating the Fake-Goblin at once. Aware that it was a Cultivator, even if it was using that Fake-Qi, Sider did not stop there, solidifying Earth-Attribute Mana around her transformed right leg, before crushing its chest with a powerful stomp, its limbs flying away because of the force of the impact. Immediately after she kicked its head away from herself and the rest of its body as a safety before falling down upon the rest of the Fake-Goblins, dodging their retaliatory strike from their weapons and limbs before continuing the fight, transforming fully with ¡°Form: Humanoid Wolf¡± and using her ¡°Enhancement: Transformation¡± to accelerate her recovery immensely, using her left hand to pick up her makeshift-greataxe to decapicate the remaining Monsters at once. After carefull observation, the Werewolf was sure of the death of all seven Fake-Goblins and the absence of any further presence in the room, she dropped her Transformation at once, trembling briefly because of the backlash caused by it. Sighing and thankful for the briefness of the fight, Sider stood straight up, turning towards her axe and swinging it around a couple of times to fully adjust to her new arms, before turning towards the arms she cut off previously but not finding them or for that matter any of the corpses, anywhere in the room. She sighed. ¡°I have a terrible feeling about this.¡± She lamented quietly before proceding deeper in the cave, quickly and to her immense displeasure finding it to be a dead-end. ¡°Oh, come on.¡± Before her rant could start in full, she jumped left, mostly dodging a crossbolt bolt except for a scratch forming on her right cheek as her hand flashed forward, burying itself in what she felt as one of those Fake-Goblin¡¯s stomach, before ripping her target apart with electrified claws. As its now visible corpse fell, its Technique or Artifact no longer hiding it, she quickly turned her full focus towards the cut on her face, scowling even harder once she felt the burning liquid present in her wound, liquid that was keeping her wound open while worsening it, before concentrating a burst of Mana and Vital Energy there, quickly expelling this poison as the dart vanished into nothing. ¡°Oh, I hate this place!¡± She affirmed her displeasure for everyone nearby to hear. ¡°And now you vanished too.¡± She lamented to the now absent corpse of the Fake-Goblin she literally just killed. - 10/10 2:31 (Autumn, Day, Midrar) Somewhere else, in a slightly different time and place¡­ A sweet smell fille d the four Mates¡¯ room, waking up Sabel once again as her unfocused gaze tried to find the origin of said scent, quickly finding a copy of Luna made out of Black Blood holding a tray with various pastries on it, all of them seeming to be homemade ones. At seeing her confused gaze through her clone, Luna smiled confidently and, considering how her arms were currently busy by Amber and Mafel, she firmly embraced her cute little Human with Auric Arms. ¡°Surprised? Even if I dislike and don¡¯t need to eat, doesn¡¯t mean I don¡¯t know how to cook for other People. Especially when it comes to sweets.¡± She affirmed, the last part said at a much lower volume. Amber followed suit Sabel¡¯s example by waking up, stretching slightly before noticing the new for her presence of Sabel and Mafel in their bed and remembering her current state of dress, or rather undress, blushed slightly, looking away from the eyes of her Mates in embarassment before forcefully calming down and resolutely meeting her Mates¡¯ eyes, unwilling to back down. Luna smirked before turning her gaze towards Mafel, the Elf still sleeping despite all the movements around her, her smirk widening as a teasing light formed in her eyes. Taking advantage of the fact her two Mates were awake, Luna slowly and casually leaned towards her grey-haired Mate before teasingly playing with one of her ears, making her jump up with a yelp and a pout on her face. ¡°You do know that you don¡¯t need to fake being asleep to remain in my arms, don¡¯t you?¡± Luna teased, sitting up while holding the now-very flustered black-haired one on her lap. ¡°How could you accuse me of so blatantly taking advantage of my Mate¡¯s trust. You wound me.¡± The grey haired one commented calmly, blatantly sitting up to more easily enjoy the sight of her three Mates all close together, especially considering how two of them were currently naked and leading Amber to hide back beneath their blanket with a yelp while Sabel, embarrassed, hid her face in Luna¡¯s chest. Luna¡¯s smile widened further in amusement. ¡°In that case, I offer my excuses on my erroneous assumption about the motives behind your action of feigning sleep. I am sure that you just decided to guard our bodies while we were sleeping, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Exactly.¡± The former Boss Monster nodded, her eyes not leaving Luna¡¯s body in the slightest, distracting her just enough for her to yelp at feeling a couple of Auric hands poking Mafel¡¯s spine. Luna sat up fully, embracing Sabel from behind with her pale legs trapping the Human in place while her arms embraced her other two Mates to either side of her, Auric limbs emanating from Luna and proceding to offer breakfast to the four currently busy with planning their day and their later ambush.

Chapter 65 10/9 13:19 (Autumn, Night, Mysterious Island) Sider quickly emanated another wave of Mana, Earth-Attribute one this time to manipulate the earth behind her to create a, even if thin, wall between herself and the previous room as added security, before concentrating all of her senses to find any disturbance in the air, releasing a wave of Lightning-Attribute Mana to fill her current room, trying to fry a possible unknown presence. The black-haired one sighed in displeasure, keeping her gaze on the earthen wall she just created to make sure it would not suddently vanish nor would it be broken without her noticing considering its fragility, derived primarly not on her own skill with Earth Magic but the fact that the ground fought back against her manipulation. Fortunately the use of Vital Energy or Mana would not open her up to being twisted by the Fake Qi as while they were both types of Energy naturally generated and stored in a body, or well within someone¡¯s Spiritual Body to be exact, once it is used, except for sustained Spells, it is no longer part of its former owner. On the other hand, this would mean that she needed to be extra careful to not reabsorb her used Qi to refuel some of the spent one within her body while the Monsters belonging to this island would have no such issues if they are at the ¡°Foundation Establishment¡± Stage and she didn¡¯t want to gamble on what happens at the end of the day, once she would gain more Magicules from Gaea. Sider did not hesitate any further, creating a javelin of Lightning-Attribute Mana in her right hand before throwing it in her previous room, piercing the fragile wall that separated the two rooms before impacting the axe she left behind, channeling the electricity through it before it was released in an explosion, detonating and in so doing reassuring the Werewolf that no one was there, at least for right this very moment. The two-meters tall Person moved back, the rest of the wall easily destroyed by her movement alone as she repaired her temporary weapon and wielded it in her hands once again, quickly looking at her surrounding, cautious that her previous attacks should have allerted other nearby Monsters and being immensely suspicious that none of them were currently moving towards her. Sider returned to the initial corridor before carefully proceding deeper in, gazing all around her for any trace of life, a thin coating of Lightning-Attribute Mana erratically and willingly unregularly spiked around her body while she constantly twisted the ground beneath her feet and the area immediately around herself to make sure it would not be altered without her knowledge and to feel any step near her. All the same her foreboding feeling only magnified with the passage of time and the frown etched on her face as a conseguence worsened with every empty corridor or room she explored, finding traces of Beings leaving through nonexistent passages. Even by breaking through three whole meters of stone she found or felt no corridor nearby leading her to a single certaintly. ¡°This is a trap.¡± She affirmed calmly and aloud to herself, still continuing on the initial corridor deeper in. ¡®Either that or a way to make me waste time because of paranoia until the day ends and I become vulnerable to subconsciously absorb this Fake-Qi instead of Magicules. I hate this place.¡¯ She thought to herself, idly swinging her axe around her a couple of times to pass the time. Her gaze moved all over the place as the Werewolf jumped all over continuously, electricity erratically filling the air around her, all these being enacted as measures to render an ambush on her as difficult as she possibly could. The black-haired one suddently threw her weapon in the air and dropped to the ground, dodging the thrust of a still-invisible spear, her hands on the ground before quickly launching herself up, dodging the following orizontal swing and she spun around in mid-air, kicking the approximate location of her assailant, Earth-Attribute Mana cloaking her foot as she felt ribs cracking and breaking under her kick, quickly deviating the force to smash her still hidden prey to the ground under her foot. Her silver eyes gleamed as Lightning-Attribute Mana accumulated around her right hand before she pointed down, lightning raging downwards and charring what was now revealed to be another Fake-Goblin. Her right hands stretched to the sky, grasping her falling weapon before she swung down at full force, the Thunder Gems impacting against empty air before detonating in a burst of electricity and force, killing the Fake-Cultivator. The silver eyes did not leave the Fake-Goblin at all and finally after a whole twenty minutes further, its body parts, as if giving up on being discrete at all, started to rot at an incredible speed, becoming first a purple mess before it was reabsorbed by the ground underneath. ¡°Fine, be that way!¡± Sider howled, her Thunder Gems reforming around her greataxe¡¯s blade as she prepared to what would be a very long and annoying fight. - 10/10 2:54 (Autumn, Day, Midrar) In a cave near Nealet, expanded and changed in a proper base containing a map of the nearby region, currently rested two Beings waiting for their upcoming fight, the other members of their Party continuing their preparations outside... ¡°Do you know how soon our target will reach this place, Rose?¡± Asked the taller one, a tall, broad shouldered, dark-haired Human fidling with an hammer even taller than his own more than two meters tall frame. The one being inquired was a young Human woman with long flowing pink hair and pale skin, currently busy meditating that upon being asked sighed once before opening her eyes, her pink Aura rising up around her body as pink light erupted from her gaze, moving towards the far city in which their target currently resided. ¡°She should reach our trap around 11 tommorrow, Grug. I already told you this.¡± She commented calmly, the light within her eyes mostly fading away, leaving behind two bright pink orbs, the Innate Skill of her non-Human father, her ¡°Magic Eyes of Psychic Might¡±. ¡°I know, I know. But I was hoping you could convince her to move up her plans¡­?¡± He hesitantly asked only to turn away at his comrade¡¯s reproachful gaze. ¡°First of all, as you should already well know, I need eye contact to influence someone and was only able to influence her at all thanks to Mark¡¯s knowledge on her and Lilze¡¯s Unique Skill ¡°Karmic Connector¡± and only to the point of making a suggestion she could accept without too many issues. Second of all, the more time we have, the more we can stack the cards in our favor with traps and other preparations for our ambush. As you already well know. If you are so bored, you could just try to Craft something for the battle. Mark said you have a talent for it.¡± She half-complimented. ¡°What, just because my father was a Dwarf doesn¡¯t mean that I am automatically good at metallurgy. And Mark was talking about past-future-me? And he is not me.¡± He complained once again, more bored than anything else. ¡°He is quite literally you. And you know that. I don¡¯t see where the issue lies with¡­ him, if you want me to say it like that.¡± ¡°I already live in the shadows of my father and brothers, I did everything I could so that I am not being compared with any of them and now I am in a constant comparison with a more experienced version of myself. Who knows where my issues come from!¡± The half-Dwarf almost shouted, irritated, leading Rose to lean back slightly before she sighed. ¡°Fine, I understand. Even if I do not share in your emotions, I am sorry that I didn¡¯t consider your feelings.¡± ¡°I accept your excuses!¡± The hammer-wielder exclaimed smugly, his hurt feelings swiftly suppressed only to be met with a pair of glowing, skeptical eyes. ¡°You do know that hiding your emotions while I am actually paying attention, don¡¯t you? If you don¡¯t want to talk about it, it¡¯s fine, but if you do, I can lend you my attention for a while. Or you can go entertain Lilze, I guess.¡± Grug in response thought about it a little bit, nodded to himself and, his gaze burning with new-found determination met the pink-haired one¡¯s eyes¡­ before standing up and going right out of their Party¡¯s cave, searching for Lilze. ¡°As I thought. Why is everyone in this Party a psycological mess, Mark?!¡± She asked to the air, expecting an answer and not being disappointed or surprised once she recieved one from someone that shouldn¡¯t have been there. ¡°Well, in my defense, it¡¯s not like I knew what everyone¡¯s hang up was at the start. I just wanted to assemble a team to find out and avenge my sister¡¯s death and all of you were quite proficient in masking your problems at the start.¡± Mark half-teased, appearing from the shadows of the cave, his newly-created Artifact shutting off. ¡°And by the point I learned of your issues, I was already attached. How did you figure out I was here, by the way? This thing should have been more than enough to hide me from you.¡± Mark wondered, curious. Rose looked at him, an eyebrow arched at the sight of the blonde Human that functioned as their Party Leader and the reason the Party existed in the first place. ¡°You are a time-traveler. Even with the small number of travels you did, you were trying to make something you already did before. It was obvious that you would be quick in making it and so I guessed you heard my conversation with Grug. What do you think we should do about him?¡± ¡°If he offers to talk, we will listen to him but we cannot force it. It would be¡­ dangerous considering the upcoming fight and, while he intellectually knows he can trust us, emotionally our Party¡¯s creation was too recent for him to really open up.¡± ¡°I guess. It would be much easier if you could bring back everyone else¡¯s memory with you but it¡¯s impossible.¡± ¡°My Unique Skill ¡°Time Walker¡± doesn¡¯t allow me much when it comes to time travel. The point of arrive is the time I Awakened my Unique Skill and I can only send my memories back in time once ¡°Time Walker¡± reaches A-Rank.¡± ¡°It¡¯s impressive all this you did in just twenty days, like how you were able to transform a loose collection of strangers into a competent team. However some things need time to mature even if done perfectly, as you well know.¡± She calmly half-comforted and her Party Leader merely sighed before asking her with a look if everything was fine reguarding their target, his sister¡¯s murderer. ¡°Everything is proceding according to plan.¡± She confirmed calmly before relaxing back into Deep Meditation once her Party Leader vanished, intent on storing as much Psychic Energy as possible for the following battle. All of them remaining blissfully ignorant of the ways that her eyes flashed red for but a brief moment. - 10/10 3:04 (Autumn, Day, Midrar, Base) Luna¡¯s smile widened further, her attention shifting briefly to the distance as her eyes briefly flashed pink, her gaze containing an intense yet somewhat playful ferocity. ¡°It seems someone is looking down on me. They will regreat it. Very soon.¡± She affirmed, malice filling her tone for but an instant before vanishing as if inexistent the following second, turning back to her Mates with what for her passed as a cheery smile. ¡°But until then, let¡¯s celebrate. Ah, what about your Party?¡± She asked Sabel curiously. ¡°Well, they will pass here in another couple of hours but our Party is probably disbanded, at least for a while. Hale was recalled to his church¡¯s headquarters while Jay is a noble, apparently, and needs urgently to return home. A family emergency, apparently.¡± Sabel sighed, trying to calm down her sadness at having to say goodbye to her friends but happy that both of them were able to still visit in her birthday. ¡°I see.¡± Luna calmly affirmed before leaning forward and kissing her black-haired Mate to reassure her. Status Magicules 141.379 Grade VI Magicules a Day 721 + 1.000 + 500 + 141 = 2.362 Title: N/A Resistances Damage Resistance Status Effect Nullification Racial: Lunarian D A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity.

At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored Souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them.

At D-Rank, all Sustain Costs are negated and the Stability of any construct made of Energy is brought to the maximum. At C-Rank, the User¡¯s Energy is too dense for other¡¯s to interfere with it, upgrading¡¯s the owner¡¯s Status Resistance to Nullification. At C-Rank, the owner can also start the process of [Annihilating Conversion] but is not able to properly brought it to completion, releasing instead a beam of Energy influenced by all the Skills of the owner by consuming all the Matter and Energy in the area, activated at no cost but with a Cooldown of 30 days {20 days}.

Chapter 66 10/9 13:51 (Autumn, Night, Mysterious Island) ¡°I hate you!¡± Sider¡¯s scowl widened even further once she found the end of the corridor, no more rooms or other corridors leading anywhere but at further walls, her axe held securely against her right shoulder, before she prepared to do something that would be incredibly annoying for her. The nails of her left hand lengthened into claws covered in Earth-Attribute Mana to alter their proprieties before she neared them against her hardened stone greataxe, closing her silver eyes while focusing some of her own Qi within her ears to both sharpen her earing and fortify her wolf ears in advance before she scratched her claws against the shaft of her weapon, generating a very shrill sound and leading her to wince in pain. An high and immensely annoying scratching sound filled the corridor completely, her canine ears leaning up to feel as much of it as possible before she proceded to the next step, her Mana flowing in the rocky floor of the cavern to continuously alter the ground, electricity flaring from her body in as casual a pattern as she could make before stepping hard on the ground repeatedly, the sound of her steps joining the chaos she was causing in the room. After a further ten minutes of this painfull acoustic mess, she found her way thanks to her sore ears nodding satisfied to herself, before stopping, grabbing her axe firmly with both of her hands, turning towards one of the walls of the corridor, running forward at full speed before swinging at it, channeling her Vital Energy and Unique Skill ¡°Berserker¡± through it. Her temporary weapon¡¯s blades and top half shattered immediately because of the pressure exerted by her Unique Skill, the Thunder Gems detonating and their force being dragged along with the shockwave and being forced into crashing against the wall that was in her way. Its durability showed no resistance towards her attack¡¯s raw destructive power, quickly and violently exploding apart in a shower of dust that rained down upon her Mana barrier as Sider, unwilling to take any risk with the flying stone shards, released her Mana in an explosion to deflect the shards away from her. Sider did not hesitate, bursting right through the cloud of dust, swinging her axe immediately around to decapicate a Fake Goblin that was waiting to ambush her, her right foot kicking forward to send its body flying away from its head, grabbing this last one and crushing it with a show of overwhelming physical prowess, electricity coursing through them both the next instant. She threw the head away from herself soon after, trying to nail another one of the Fake-Goblin¡¯s chest, before jumping over the swing of a sword launched by a third Fake Cultivator, spinning in mid-air while transforming her right foot in a bestial version before kicking forth, her claws disarming it of its sword before she grabbed its wrist, pulling it in close, twisting around herself and smashing it into the ground beneath her feet, her hand gripping it firmly. ¡°Now let¡¯s see how you work!¡± She affirmed, threateningly. She twisted her wrist, breaking as a conseguence the Goblin¡¯s own before punching down, shattering its elbow and observing both the speed of its own healing and its durability, before turning her other hand into a bestial version and cutting it open, trying to observe its physical Qi Circulatory System, confirming the presence of a single Meridian compared to the eight that a proper Cultivator at the [Foundation Establishment] Stage would have, while being careful to maintain a layer of Mana between herself and her test subject. ¡°I see, so you skip the First Stage entirely by being born with an already present, biological [Foundation] that you merely need to fill with Qi¡­ An ingenious trick, I must say.¡± She complimented, before crushing her dying opponent¡¯s head into paste with a flex of her hand. ¡°The First Stage, [Qi Condensation], doesn¡¯t offer anything in particular, it¡¯s merely the point when someone can actively use Qi and is being irradiated by their own Qi, facilitating their growth, but it¡¯s nothing more than a start to either processes and is nothing particularly important in the grand scheme of things. The only flaws of this method are the low quantity of Fake-Qi stored in their Qi Circulatory System and its inefficiencies in its use. ¡°This would explain why that one at D-Rank was so much more dangerous than the rest of you, it was older and had more time to accumulate Fake-Qi and to learn how to use it and this would confirm another thing. You Fake-Goblin do not Gain Magicules like natural Monsters, do you? In its place you gather this Fake-Qi. Which means that I should not be here once the days end or I would inadvertently do the same.¡± She nodded to herself, satisfied, before opening her hand and letting the corpse drop to the ground. Sider concentrated her awareness down deeper in the ground, forcibly altering the ground beneath her feet into a chasm that led deeper in, a process that was much more temporary and costly as evident by the fact she needed to constantly emit Mana to maintain it against the island, falling down around ten meters before, her silver eyes focused, impaling the sharp, crystalline butt of her greataxe, the only remaining part, into the wall of her newly-created chasm, stopping her fall in mid-air and detonating it by using her Unique Skill on it again, blasting a hole in the wall she launched herself in, finding a new, occupied at least for now, room. She stood up fully, her Mana flaring around her body to dust off her clothes, left hand throwing a sharp stone towards one of the Monsters she found herself before, a reptilian, humanoid Monster, around 160 cm tall with dark blue scales and glowing red eyes, a Monster that was probably descendent from this place¡¯s version of a Kobold Around its body a visible aura of Fake-Qi manifested itself, easily shielding it from the force of the attack, especially considering its hard scales, sure, but allowing the Werewolf to observe the way it used its Qi to either learn something herself or at least better understand the level of her future opponents and in so doing she saw that while it was still at the [Foundation Establishment] Stage, it was much more advanced in quantity of Qi itself and refinement of both its body and Qi Circulatory System, being probably at the Fifth Step equivalent. ¡°I see. This will be harder than I thought¡± She affirmed to herself, punching forward once and being unsurprised when her semi-casual attack was dodged with surprising, or perhaps not all things considered, martial skill and she found herself having to dodge a coordinated flurry of blows from six of its seven compatriots while the seventh moved away from them, starting to quickly Chant and form a Magical Circle before itself. The Kobolds, the counterpart of the Dragonoids created by either True or False Dragons using Monsters, mostly Goblins, instead of People as its base, showed off their Draconic descendency, if so it could be called, by opening their mouth and releasing small but quick bullets belonging to various different Attributes, forcing her to continuously dodge and interrupting her attacks before she could ever really take the advantage in their confrontation. Sider quickly grew weary of this tentative of theirs to buy time yet found their coordination to precise to just rampage, deciding to improvise a solution to her problem that wouldn¡¯t necessitate the use of her Unique Skill as it would be the third time she used it in too short a period and was starting to become dangerous if she used it so casually. The dark-skinned beauty stomped down hard, the ground rippling beneath her as a small boulder ripped itself away from the earth beneath herself, being kicked up before compressing in a small sphere that she launched forward with a second kick, aiming to disturb their harmony. With the same purpose of it was the quick release of Lightning around her body, buying herself enough space to stretch out her arms, two long staffs of compressed stone erupting at her sides, her hands pulling from the soil underneath her control a pair of large, single-bladed axe. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± She exclaimed, her excitement exploding as her eyes shone more intensely. - 10/10 3:52 (Autumn, Day, Midrar, Base) Luna carefully analyzed the map of the area around Nealet that Sabel was able to recieve thanks to her father, map that specifically showed the locations of the known Dungeons around the city and a brief description of them. She nodded before indicating a certain Dungeon somewhat away from the city and the route that was currently calling to her. ¡°Here is where she . Do you have any idea of anything in particular happening in this place?¡± She asked her Mates calmly only to recieve a negation from both Sabel and Mafel, her eyes moving to her remaining Mate, her face stuck in a pensive expression. ¡°Can you show me a map of the whole of Midrar?¡± She asked simply, nodding once she recieved it by Mafel as her fingers quickly moved over it to find the approximate location of the Dungeon and the city of Nealet, percorring the path numerous times before finally stopping at a certain point between the two. ¡°The ambush will probably occur around here.¡± She nodded satisfied before explaining herself once she saw the curious gaze of her Mates. ¡°Well, Luna is explicitely the target and she is a Lunarian, right? Well, even if they don¡¯t know what it means to be such, they should still know that she is a Vampiric, right? Well, around four, five centuries ago, in one of the last battles of the Moonlight Empire, a Curse was Casted Targetting all Vampiric Beings to weaken them greatly and, even if it weakened over time, it is still present and effective to this day.¡± ¡°I see, an ideal place to battle a Vampiric Being then. How did you know?¡± Mafel asked, curious about both the information she just asked and the Curse itself. ¡°Well, my mother helped to both develop and Cast it and, well, she was very proud of her work.¡± The blonde sheepishly affirmed, turning her gaze away from her Mates¡¯ own, embarassed by their interest. ¡°It was apparently a very reguarding offer when it comes to her reward, considering the type of Summoning it was. She apparently gained the equivalent of more than two years of worth in just a month between Energy and materials. In addition if a Vampiric Being dies while the effect of the Curse, well, it not only lenghten its duration but it also transfers a little bit of Energy to her.¡± The Phoenix explained quickly, trying to brush off her Demonic parent¡¯s actions. ¡°Impressive.¡± Luna calmly complimented. ¡°I will endeavour to memorize the feeling of the Curse then. It wouldn¡¯t do to forget the works of one of my mothers-in-law, especially if I experience them myself.¡± She shamelessly affirmed, a sharp smile on her face before she turned her attention towards the forth member of their group, their little Human currently very distracted by both the fact she was on Luna¡¯s laps and the arm currently trapping her against the Lunarian¡¯s chest, poking her in the cheek a couple of times to take her attention. ¡°Tomorrow, you three are going to leave towards a Dungeon before going towards my fake destination and slowly move back towards me. Once the ambush starts you can be free to rush back.¡± A sharp grin formed on her lips as she continued to silently plan her future battle and, as if to crown her animosity to the whole World¡­ *Luna¡¯s Ability Skill ¡°Oath Making¡± E increases to D-Rank. Status Magicules 141.379 Grade VI Magicules a Day 735 + 1.000 + 500 + 141 = 2.376 Title: N/A Resistances Damage Resistance Status Effect Nullification Racial: Lunarian D A superior existence alien to the world of Gaea, a fleeting dream made real by the blessing of the Blood Moon and her own nature as a natural Singularity.

The owner will have increased Resistance to all Attributes and a natural Resistance to Status Effects. The owner is able to store up to 300 leters of blood in their shadows and the ability to convert it in Vital Energy and Mana and the conversion of it in Magicules.

Finally if the sucking of Blood kills or the victim has died shortly before, the Soul of the victim is stored within the owner of this Skill¡¯s, adding their knowledge to the Moon¡¯s database. At D-Rank the owner can now either create Familiars out of the stored Souls or, given enought Mana and Vital Energy, can resurrect them. The Familiars created are derived by one of the non-Racial Skill of the original Souls, but with one lower Rank than its highest Ranked Skill. Also at D-Rank the owner can use Vital Energy to control and shape their Blood and Mana to Shape shadows and thanks to ¡°Singularity¡±, the owner is able to Shape Black Blood instead. Unique: Singularity C A Skill that denotes the nature of the owner¡¯s Soul being a black hole in which nothing will ever escape.

[Multi: x 1,1 x1,1 ¡ú x 1,1 x 1,3 = 1,43] Chapter 67 10/9 14:12 (Autumn, Night, Mysterious Island) Sider stepped forward, her twin axes being swung around her body, forcing the Fake-Kobolds to retreat, Lightning-Attribute Mana accumulating within her mouth before she howled, sending forth a wave of electricity towards a small group of her opponents. None of the Kobolds hesitated, even those that weren¡¯t directly the Targets of her attack, each of them Chanting a different part of a Spell and creating a different part of the same Magical Circle in a stunning display of Concurrent Casting causing an half dome made out of compressed stone to rise up to block the attack. Impressed, the Werewolf continued her assault, throwing one of her axe towards the head of a Kobold belonging to a different group that the one she previously attacked while stomping hard on the ground, a line of spikes violently erupting from her position and moving to skewer yet another group of Fake-Cultivators in a two-pronged assault act on testing out their reaction. The Kobolds roared all together, their soundwaves joining together thanks to their Fake-Qi in an high pitched frequency that was somehow able to shatter the stone belonging to the cavern¡¯s floor, and consequently blocking both the earthen spikes and letting them dodge the thrown axe by falling down in the lower room. Before the cracks could reach the pavement beneath her feet, she jumped, holding out her hastily made weapon in her right hand and throwing it once again, aiming to cut in half a Kobold¡¯s head while Lightning accumulated around her left forearm before most of it roared forward in a spear. The Fake-Kobold she attacked nodded to itself, a resolute light in its gaze as it moved sideways, turning a bebilitating strike into merely a grave wounds, her thrown axe impaling it in its shoulder and leaving it free to join in on its comrade¡¯s Chanting while another Fake-Kobold shattered the axe, small fragments still imbedded in its body that were ignored by both of them in order to join their next combined Spell. And again, the Fake-Kobolds behaved quite similarly to natural Kobolds with the exceptions of even higher Cooperation and stronger Druidry, as demonstrated by the falling piece of the floor joining together in a massive boulder to block the lightning bolt. But this was far from Sider¡¯s first fight and she certainly didn¡¯t lack experience in a fight as demonstrated by her next, clenching her left hand still connected to the lightning and in response, her lightning spear erupted before it could impact the boulder on its way, dividing into a rain of very-thin Lightning knives and, sure, most of them were blocked by the rock and only a small number of them stabbed into the Kobolds, but she didn¡¯t mind this at all. While she was still falling down, Sider rose her right hand and formed a spear of Thunder Gems that she threw towards the Kobolds¡¯ defense, shielding herself by curling up in a fetal position in mid-air, that upon impacting the Lightning-Knives detonated in a violent shockwave that sent her flying back into a wall, her feet cracking it as she bent her knees to help deal with the impact while she impaled her left hand in the ground. Her eyes narrowed, quickly searching for her opponent, immediately finding six of the nine Kobolds but being unable to flush out the other three even with her incredibly enhanced senses as both a Werewolf and a Cultivator, Earth-Attribute ammassing around the hand currently imbedded in the wall, the whole room pulsing in a violent shockwave. Before the shard of the previously destroyed boulder could finish landing on the ground, she launched herself towards one of the Kobolds with a dropkick that sent it flying back against the floor, her feet firmly keeping it stuck to the ground before she rose her left feet and stomping down violently, again and again, until she was forced to jump away with the purpose of dodging the claws of two other Kobolds covered in Fake-Qi, her right hand flashing out to grab the neck of a fourth Fake-Kobold that was trying to attack her. ¡°It¡¯s not going to be that simple!¡± She affirmed, her smile widending with a violent gleam before she stepped hard on the ground, spinning around on herself before smashing the Fake-Cultivator against another one of its comrades, her left hand covered in Lightning-Attribute Mana pulled back before she thrusted it backwards, impaling it upon the stomach of one of the Monsters that was trying to ambush her from behind. The Lightning expanded forming a spear within her opponent¡¯s body before the black-haired one threw it up over her body by the shaft impaled in its stomach before she flipped around and smashed it in the ground, her right hand being coated by her Earth-Attribute Affinity to punch to her right, casually shattering a small boulder sent flying towards her before jumping upwards, dodging a pair of grasping hands rising from the ground around the fallen Fake-Kobold, belonging to a seventh one. In mid-air, Sider stomped downwards with cratering force, cracks spreading beneath the Kobolds impaled with her Lightning Spear, her arms stretched out to her side and calling masses of the still falling rocks from the destroyed roof in her hands to create a pair of long, pointed staffs, electricity coursing through them, before she thrusted them downwards, impaling the two Fake-Qi users into place and landing hard on them. ¡°I don¡¯t appreciate being looked down on.¡± She frostly declared, her eyes narrowed dangerously, her previous enthusiasm freezing down in a dangerous and murderous intent, her eyes shining slightly, her hairs and the fur on her ears and tails standing up straight, before she transformed her hands in their more bestial versions, her thick black fur highlighting the sharp shine of her claws. She twisted around, dodging the two meters long spike sent flying at her from behind, before continuing with her spin to kick it, changing its trajectory of the projectile with a burst of Vital Energy so that it was sent flying towards a group of the Fake-Kobolds, her Mana flaring violently around her form in mid-air before she stomped down, trying to kill the two Fake-Kobolds but fortunately for them, the ground rose up to drag them beneath its surface, hiding and protecting them. Her eyes narrowed, her body fluidly moving sideways to dodge the claws enveloped in Fake-Qi belonging to another Fake-Kobold, her hands grabbing into its wrists before she fluidly smashed it in the ground a couple of times, her feet rising briefly before smashing down on its neck. ¡°This is not going to be enough.¡± She affirmed frigidly, her claws piercing the arms of the Fake-Kobold, her body slowly starting to grow slightly. - 10/10 3:59 (Autumn, Day, Midrar, Base) Luna luxuried in the power she just gained, examining briefly the increased values of her Oaths before concentrating on the Expansion derived by her Skill increasing to D-Rank. While she was moving around to quickly master her increase in power, she proceded to do the same with her newly gained possibilities, most of the Black Blood outside her body was flowing freely around her and eroding a weak Artifact gifted her with the purpose of accelerating her Mana Recovery, triggering her ¡°Devouring Evolution¡± and slightly accelerating her natural Recovery but mostly with the purpose of memorizing how it was made and how it worked so that in the future she already had a model if necessary. Her Vital Mana stretched around her, encircling the area in a False Domain that she used to attack the area around her by constantly imbuing it with her ¡°Divine Power¡± Skill to compesate for its immateriality, the area around her darkening slightly as proof of this process, while the rest of her Black Blood was instead fusing with the air into various short-lived Weapons flying around her, the air¡¯s Quality, the lowest between the two Materials, thanks to her Oath being brought up to the Quality of the second lowest, in this case the only other Material involved in said Crafting, her Black Blood. Finally, her most automatic Oath, the one reguarding her constant Meditation, had a very rare and likewise useful extra effect that she gleefully observed, the extension of her Resistances to the entirety of her own body, mind and Soul, negating even the small amount of influence she was currently under. Amber decided to test her Mate¡¯s False Domain at once, launching a rain of fire balls upon the 6 meters wide Domain using her ¡°Pyrokinesis¡± alone and in response Luna¡¯s Vital Mana flared and attacked the flames with bursts of force, almost on their own, the Lunarian¡¯s gaze meeting the blonde¡¯s own while small spheres of Vital Mana floating around her. ¡°Amber, this is a False Domain, be more careful.¡± She half-scolded, causing the Demonic-blooded one to look away. ¡°Reguarding Domains, what¡¯s the difference between True and False Domains?¡± Asked Sabel, half in actual curiosity and half to distract them from Amber¡¯s action, not that it worked considering all four of them could check on each other¡¯s emotions at any time thanks to their Mate¡¯s Mark. Luna smiled briefly at her, deciding to forgive the impulsiveness. ¡°Domains are abilities that create a space around the user with different rules and are divided in three categories, from most to least rigid, being: False, True and Unique ones. False Domains are incredibly specific in their abilities, for example my own creates a space where Vital Mana is easier to control, like moving my own limbs. A True Domain is an Innate or Ability Skill that Channels one of the user¡¯s own Skills in the whole Domain. Finally a Unique Domain, as shown by its name, Channels in the affected Territory the user¡¯s own Unique Skill and they are automatically acquired once an Unique Skill fully reaches A-Rank.¡± She calmly explained, knowledge she gained mostly because of the research left behind by Edgar. Sabel nodded, satisfied at her new knowledge, while both Mafel and Amber started to wonder about their possible Unique Domains, daydreaming on all of their possibilities until Mafel returned to reality first to notice the amused gaze of her other two Mates. ¡°There is no need to look at me like that, rather you two should be curious too, shouldn¡¯t you!¡± She defended herself, feeling challenged and wanting her Mates to stop, her exclamation bringing Amber back down to reality too. ¡°I still do not have my Unique Skill Awakened, thinking about things that require A-Rank in that seems rather premature, doesn¡¯t it? But don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s very cute the way that you lose yourself in your thoughts.¡± And in a twist that burned the grey-haired Elf greatly, the black-haired Human stretched out and in half-reassuring yet completely mocking, petted her head. ¡°And I can already guess what my Unique Domain will be like.¡± Luna calmly commented, the reason behind her disinterest rendered clear. ¡°It will be a Territory that turns everything within to Energy for me to devour. Boring on its own but it will help me out a lot to grow even faster and further.¡± She contined with her experimentation, moving on to trying to fuse her Aura with her False Domain while briefly wondering if she could sustain a fifth Oath long-term.

[Multi: x 1,1 x 1,3 = 1,43] Chapter 68 10/9 14:27 (Autumn, Night, Mysterious Island) Sider stopped herself before she fully transformed, well aware of its drawbacks, but still wanting to make the most she could out of the Innate Skill ¡°Enhancement: Transformation¡±, Innate Skill that she was forced to exercise by remaining fully transformed from dawn to dusk, before being forced to deal with the pain and strain by herself as an additional way to train both the Innate Skill she was born with, ¡°Enhancement: Physicality¡±, and her Cultivation. As such, it was no wonder then that she very quickly learned how to regulate her transformation while being careful to maximize her resulting power as much as she needed at any time, power that she brought out to express in full her rising annoyance towards her opponent and her situation as a whole. Her hands clenched hard, shattering the wrists belonging to the Fake-Kobold currently stuck under her foot before accumulating Lightning-Attribute Mana around her whole body, rising her foot before Channeling her electricity in her raised limbs before she stomped down on the Fake-Cultivator¡¯s chest, a thunderclap overwhelming all other sounds as she mercilessly yet quickly killed the Fake-Kobold she was able to capture. The Werewolf turned her attention back towards the other seven Fake-Kobolds, still stunned because of the incredibly loud sound she just caused with her stomp, jumping forward with a newly created Lightning Spear that she threw forward, anticipating her own attack, all the while unaware of the way that the fallen Kobold¡¯s Vital Energy, Mana and Fake-Qi flowed down, deeper in. Sider moved forward, her strenght and speed enough to crumble the rocks underneath her feet with her steps alone, especially considering how she was not bothering to hold back or control her strenght at all, her gaze dangerously focused on her current target alone while she pulled back her left fist. The Kobold she was aiming at responded by coating all ten of its claws in a dense layer of Fake-Qi before it clawed forward, sending ten flying slashes towards the Werewolf and in response she simply jumped, spinning in mid-air before creating a pillar from the ground that she grabbed to redirect herself from her previous trajectory to dodge by another couple of attacks, the pole being pulled with her as a temporary weapon for the near future. The dark-blue scales present on her target¡¯s reptilian mug broke under the weight of her improvised staff as she masterfully swung it on it without any hesitation multiple times, her ears twitching and causing her to retreat, dodging a sharp, two meters long spike of concentrated stone in her previous location, lightning accumulating around her right hand before launching behind her to fall upon another Fake-Cultivator. The proper Cultivator skillfully yet brutally twisted herself in mid-air, despite her significant size, to land on the ball of her feet before launching herself towards another group of Fake-Kobolds, using her pole to dodge over another series of attacks, spinning in mid-air before lenghtening her staff to smash it over one of her opponent¡¯s head, sending it to the ground. Before she could reach it to finish off another one of her opponents, she thrusted her staff to the ground, throwing herself high in the sky to dodge a Kobold trying to hug her from behind with the intent on stopping her in place long enough for its comrades to gain an advantage, before she swung her staff down on it, blocking it in place against the ground. Before her opponents could retake initiative, she threw herself down on a double knee strike directly to the stuck Fake-Kobold, cratering the ground beneath them both before joining her hands over her head, Lightning-Attribute Mana and Earth-Attribute Mana fusing together in a different configuration than her Thunder Gems. Normally, excluding the Curse- and Holy-Attributes, fusing two Attributes together had two major ways of Manifesting, with the Form of one and the Substance of the other, as demonstrated by her Thunder Gems made using the Form of the Earth-Attribute and the Substance of the Lightning-Attribute but this time, for the first time in her life and led only by her murderous instinct, she inverted her Composited Attribute¡¯s composition. Earth-Attribute Mana raged chaotically and erratically around her joined hands, her eyes focused on the target of her next attack as she separated her limbs, black and yellow lightning raging around her closed right hand, before she punched down. From the point of impact, a violent shockwave was released, the rock floor beneath them shattering completely and a miniaturized earthquake filled the room, dark bolts of golden lightning raining down upon the whole room and forcing the other Kobolds in an hasty retreat. Sider stood back up, her gaze trailing curiously between her hand still clad in small, dark sparks and the result of her previous blow, the upper half of the fallen Fake-Kobold being unceriously ripped apart, its blood and bones flowing on the hungry floor. The Cultivator looked towards the other six remaining Fake-Cultivators, her Terran Lightning starting to hesitantly coat her body in place of her previous Lightning-Attribute Mana, her feet shattering the rocks around her body upon contact with the immense force shaped like lightning bolts constantly raining down upon the area around her. Her shaft flew in her waiting right hand, coating itself in her Terran Lightning and spinning on itself, shattering and deflecting the gravelous spears launched towards her body before she sharpened one of its tip and threw it at full force. Her spear flew true, piercing through an hastily raised earthen wall and the Fake-Kobold it in vain failed to protect, demonstrating once more the immense destructive and quite Physical force that was the difference between her Thunder Gems and Terran Lightning. The struct Fake-Qi user had barely any time to scream in pain, its chest destroyed at once by her thrown weapons, its head and limbs flying away, its remains melting down in a purple flurry that under her curious silver eyes was drunk in by the walls and floors. ¡°Is it being this blatant because I already know how it works?¡± She wondered to herself aloud, her current excitiment reguarding her newest discovery having cleared her murderous intent enough for her to wonder once again of this place. Her dark skin was more than capable to deal with the backlash caused her by her Terran Lightning thanks to her efforts in Cultivation, resisting the shocks that illuminated her while her eyes and other, less protected parts of her body were instead protected by a thin, protective layer of Earth-Attribute Mana, her Qi Sense together with various other senses, more than enough to deal with her loss in sight. Sider mid-run thrusted her hand in the ground and, taking advantage of her new Composite Attribute, flipped up part of the floor to create a wall before her, wall that she threw forward at full force, forcing the Fake-Kobolds to separate and opening them up for her follow-up attacks. - 10/10 5:13 (Autumn, Day, Midrar, Base) Luna stopped her efforts, accepting that at least for now she couldn¡¯t fuse her False Domain with her Aura, aware by this point that the first of the two was too rigid to mix properly, even with her very best trial being a very short-lived False Domain reguarding her Aura alone that, as was natural between the contact of two different Domains, caused both to fall apart in an instant and stalled her progress for a good five minutes because of the backlash. Result that, almost as if to mock the rest of her training, was not even able to properly reproduce during all of her time trying to, her lips twisted in a brief pout before she rejoined her Mates, joining their conversation, or more specifically the conversation that Mafel just started, the Artifact generating Mana having finished in being Devoured. ¡°So what would you three do if you met another you?¡± The Elf asked curious only to recieve three, very different, answers. ¡°I¡¯d probably just start a battle to the death, winner takes all. I¡¯m not very good with equals and challenges and death matches are much simpler to deal with.¡± Amber hesitantly answered, her gaze evading her Mates¡¯ own. ¡°I, it¡¯s probably a less, interesting answer but I¡¯d probably try to become friends? I mean, if I meet another me, she¡¯d probably like the same stuff as me and a new friend is always welcome, right?¡± Sabel embarassingly answered second, awkwardly trying to distract them from the Demon-blooded¡¯s own answer only to be flustered under her Mates¡¯ gaze. ¡°How cute.¡± Mafel teased, entertained by the gentle answer, especially in comparison to Amber¡¯s much more dangerous one before turning her purple eyes towards Luna, curious to were her answer would fall in between the answers only for said answer to greatly surprise her. ¡°I¡¯d seduce me.¡± The Lunarian indifferently and bluntly replied before continuing on almost insulted once she felt her Mates¡¯ emotions. ¡°What? What¡¯s so strange about my response? I¡¯m more than hot enough for me to seduce. I¡¯m instead surprised and worried you three don¡¯t think of yourselves as attractive.¡± Her three Mates looked at each other before turning back to the white-haired one in unison silently deciding to start explaining, starting with Amber. ¡°No, see, we do recognize we are attractive, it¡¯s just that we aren¡¯t attracted to ourselves.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Luna asked genuinely confused. ¡°I find myself attractive, I even find my previous self, Scarlet, to be attractive.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just a difference in perspective and your confidence is very cute. I doubt however that we could desire ourselves, sexually or romantically.¡± Mafel tried to reassure her Vampiric Mate only to choose the categorically wrong words to use. ¡°In that case, it¡¯s a very simple thing to change, you all just need to use your Mate¡¯s Marks to feel and share in my attraction towards you.¡± She affirmed before concentrating on sharing her feelings and the things she loved about her Mates with them, the way that Amber and Sabel were easily able to sit on her lap, the feeling of resting her head on Mafel¡¯s legs, playing with her Mates¡¯ hair, their heated gazes upon her, their flustering under her attentions, the teasing made by Mafel, the passion they shared during their nights together, the bewitching taste of their blood upon her tongue¡­ Luna was stopped from continuing on to shamelessly share even more by Mafel, the only one of the three still functional enough to intervene. ¡°Enough, please stop. We understand, there is no need to continue.¡± ¡°Are you sure? I can still go on for a long while.¡± Luna calmly affirmed slowing down from further observation upon feeling all three of her Mates¡¯ desire for her to both stop and continue in her sharing. ¡°Yes, please. In the future, don¡¯t do it without warning us before. It¡¯s embarrassing.¡± Amber affirmed, her flushed face covered by her hands to try and quite uselessly hide as much of her reactions as she could. ¡°And this did not change my opinion on another me! At most it changes my opinions on our Mates, not on myself.¡± At feeling the concord between all three of her Mates, Luna could but shrug her shoulder, judging them all to be quite strange but still fascinating existences, deciding to chalk the difference to their biases alone.

[Multi: x 1,1 x 1,3 = 1,43] Chapter 69 10/9 14:41 (Autumn, Night, Mysterious Island) As the Fake-Kobolds separated to dodge the wall of rocks thrown towards them only for Sider to jump up from behind it, using it as a ramp from which she launched herself high in the air, spinning in mid to land feet first against the roof, her Terran Lightning condensing around her right hand, before she hurled herself down in a kick towards one of her still mid-air opponents. Before her attack could land and with the Monster crossing its arms to protect itself, a gust of wind struck it, sending it flying away from the Werewolf but this was far from enough to dissuade her from her attack as she demonstrated by unleashing her previously condensed Composite Attribute in a thunder bolt-like attack towards the still-stunned Fake-Qi user. Said Fake-Kobold crossed its darkly scaled arms in front of itself to minimize the Damage of the Terran Lightning bolt, one of its arm being crushed in a rain of blood, muscle and bone shards that fell upon the ground near it, long glowing cracks spreading on the remains of its arm while its other limb had a hole in it, a dim yellow light that illuminated its other limb from the inside through other cracks caused by the blade of the bolt that was able to, even if only in the tip, pierce its scales through its other arm. The Kobold fell with a brief scream of pain, air coalescing around its wounds before encasing them, a Spell belonging to the Air-Attribute Druidrcraft activated with the same collective Casting as before and with the purpose of helping the Kobold¡¯s Vital Energy in mending its wounds before a second Spell was Casted, a Spell that was a mix of Druidcraft, Sorcery and Magecraft, causing the air of the room to be filled with Mana. Sider stepped towards the wounded Kobold before it could finish healing intent on finishing it off, immediately noting the increased air pressure, as if a strong wind was erect as a wall in her way, far from enough to stop her, sure, but being able to either slow her down or make her waste some Energy to compensate for the loss of speed. The black-haired one scowled, Terran Lightning, her newest favorite Composite Element despite it being even harder to control that the regular Lightning-Attribute, flaring around her left foot as she stomped on the ground. Ground that she used as a medium by taking advantage of the fact that all six of them currently held contact with it to strike at them all, four of them taken by surprise by the sudden even if weak attack and flinching at the shock while two others, the one she previously injured included, were able to jump over it, assuring that not all of them would be too stunned to try and resist the invader¡¯s next move. Move that came immediately, Earth-Attribute Mana flowing around her right foot that pierced the ground beneath them with a second stomp, before she used her left leg as a counterweight to rise her grounded foreleg and the boulder she picked up thanks to her Mana flowing within the ground, boulder that with a kick she threw towards the already injured, mid-air Monster. While the Kobolds on the ground writhed in pain and the one Sider aimed at with her block was forced to swing for it with its wounded arm, despite knowing that doing such would only worsen its previous wounds, its Fake-Qi flaring around its sharp claws and shattering the rock, blood exploding from both of its arms, before it reabsorbed the excess to reignate some of the spent, thing to dangerous for Sider to do in a place as filled with the Fake-Qi as this one. The Werewolf during this was far from still, taking advantage of their distraction to attack the Kobold most unharmed between them, the other one currently mid-flight, by leaping at it with a new pair of stone staffs held in her hands, launching in a series of strikes that, even while weakened by a dense layer of wind between the two, were still enough to start a one-sided beating. Sure, by using her Unique Skill over any of her stuff strike it would certaintly kill her target in a single hit but this would not only destroy the weapon she used but would also increase the counter of her ¡°Berserker¡±. After all every time the Unique Skill¡¯s ability is activated, Sider would recieve a Stacking Status Alteration called ¡°Berserker Impetus¡± with a timer that not only refreshes completely upon being recieved but also increased its lenght for each Stack that caused its effects to become more pronunced, both the positives, the increased boosts it would provide, and the negatives, the backlash she would suffer at each activation of the Unique Skill¡¯s effect. And so the Kobold she struck at was sent flying down to the ground, bouncing once before the Werewolf fell upon it with a rain of blows, the ground beneath it shattering rapidly, stones flying up before stopping in mid-air, clad in the half-Amazon¡¯s Mana while bolts of Terran Lightning created a net around the two to slow down the other Monsters¡¯ interference. The Fake-Cultivator did not let itself being bombarded without response, its Fake-Qi enveloping its body, its scales shattering into pieces before reforming into slightly more effective scales, a subset of Qi Reformation called Tempering that consists of enduring blows and hostile conditions while in a meditative state to increase mostly their defensive prowess once healed while its Vital Energy accelerated said healing and its Mana muffled the strenght of her blows as much as it possibly could. This defensive measures, however, could be considered an half-assed measure if it wanted to maximize its defense as it should have used its Qi purely defensive in that case as it should have been well aware that it would not survive long enough for this measure to proceed, especially considering how its comrades were not even trying to interfere with her assault. And in the midst of said attacks, Sider was able to note how within the Fake-Kobold¡¯s reptilian pupils, there was a small, dimly lit flame that burned weakly, leading her to immediately try and understand and leading her to being forced to jump away when it noticed her distraction and tried to impale her with its claws. ¡°That purple light¡­¡± The black-haired one murmured to herself, trying to remember if any of the Fake-Goblins had a similar thing to it and falling short, before with a quick glance she noted how every single one of the Fake-Kobolds had it. ¡°Is it a result of the Fake-Qi? No, I don¡¯t think so, I would have notice if the Goblin had something similar. Then is it because they are Kobolds and so are close to Dragons? It¡¯s possible but it¡¯s not a self-destruction mechanism or the Kobold would have activated it while I was holding it and it wouldn¡¯t explain why every single one of them has those flames.¡± The Amazon bent the knee, dodging a claw swing from the Kobold she had trapped before, once the arm passed where she was, jumping over a low kick from the Draconic Monster, her left arm rising to block a tail swipe while she was in mid-air before her right leg blurred forward, sending an harsh kick to the Kobold¡¯s mouth. ¡°It¡¯s not a Spell to increase their power in exchange for lifespan.¡± She continued on, trying to figure it out, her curiosity getting the better of her. ¡°They are too weak for that to be the case and they aren¡¯t bleeding out Essence. What are you planning?¡± She asked aloud, being unsurprised when she recieved no answer, sighing aloud before deciding to end her current opponent to see if any of the others changed in response. One of her staff sharpened to a spear, spear that she casually thrusted forward to force the trapped one to deviate their trajectory while kicking at full strenght, Terran Lightning bursting forth together with her kick and shattering its shoulder, noting once again the non-reaction of the rest of its pack and its refusal to use a suicidal move to try and bring her down with it. ¡°Why? Well, I guess I¡¯ll figure it out in the future.¡± She murmured to herself, her right arm fully transforming in a bestial one covered in Terran Lightning, her newest favorite Attribute, before swinging mercilessly, severing its head from its shoulder with the combination of her sharp claws and raw destructive force. As its body rapidly, too rapidly, fell apart, Sider turned her attentions towards the rest of her opponents, her arm turning back in her more natural one. - 10/10 5:52 (Autumn, Day, Midrar, Base) Amber watched as Mafel and Luna poured over the base¡¯s Runic Array, working together to first add in the Rune that Luna just acquired by devouring both the Mana Regeneration and her Storage rings, the increased Complexity helping to increase the efficiency of the whole, even if only marginally. The Runic Array quickly spread all over the air in its entirety, allowing the two to easily seek out any irregularies by enlarging the image to more easily see them both as a whole and in specific parts, their eyes quickly roaming over it before, once they both decided the Runic Array was stable, they moved towards their real objective, Luna bringing one of her hands to her mouth before biting down, her bloodied hand moving over the Runic Keystone and letting drop after drop fall upon it. Said stone greedily drank in the black fluid and Vital Mana, gradually staining itself ever more until it became something like a materialized shadow somehow both solid and liquid at the same time before shattering, leaving behind only a solid flat disk of Black Blood, glowing with a faint iridescent light shaped like the Lunarian¡¯s Mark, a circle with multiple points as the epicenters for the corresponding concentric ripples, a combination of Artifact and Keystone with a very simple function. ¡°It¡¯s done. At least for now.¡± Luna affirmed calmly before dropping the result of their work in her shadow, satisfied when it easily sunk beneath the surface of her shadow while still being able to maintain the Runic Array and their base without any issue while making sure that it would be easy to bring and set up their base once they set up in a new place. ¡°It now has a bigger Well, generates Vital Mana automatically and at an higher speed, is more capable defensively, even harder to sense and can be manifested in the Material World either as a fortress or as an hidden room in a set building as is required.¡± Mafel said, satisfied by their changes. ¡°Additionally, Luna can now access this base¡¯s Storage from her shadow or blood as needed, eliminating the necessity of any Storage Rings, especially considering how once she reaches C-Rank we will be able to access her shadow at will too.¡± ¡°Changing topics, Hale and Jay just arrived and are waiting outside the door of the shop.¡± Sabel avverted from her current position in the Security Room, the Runic Array easily being able to transfer the sound of her voice to her Mates before the Human went to let them in, allowing them access to their base of operation without any particular hesitatio from her or any of her Mates. Luna and Mafel calmly shut down the reproduction of their Runic Array without any particular care, the Lunarian standing up and stretching slightly, inadvertibly giving somewhat of a show to her two present Mates before turning towards the Phoenix. ¡°So, ready to meet our Sabel¡¯s friends?¡± She asked calmly, her voice presenting not a shadow of concern. ¡°Wha- Why are you asking me if I am ready?!¡± The blonde exclaimed, rising to her feet in an instant. ¡°Because you never had any friends?¡± The white-haired one answered, confused why she was even asked in the first place. ¡°Y-yes, I-I had some friends when I was in Phorar!¡± The shorter one of the three affirmed, embarassed, only for that to arouse Mafel¡¯s attention. ¡°No, you didn¡¯t.¡± The grey haired one teased, unable to stop herself from playing with her oldest Mate, her eyes sparkling with mischief. ¡°You yourself defined them as friendly acquaintances, if that.¡± ¡°I-I am not going to suffer these baseless accusation!¡± the Demon-blooded one affirmed before retreating at full speed, unwilling to cede victory in even this.
