The 1st thing Juri did as soon as he took Preyor's essence was spend his Points, obviously!
1,244 Points, that's a lot!
First she decided to raise her [Wisdom] to 2,500, which cost 488 Points, leaving 756 Points!
Juri then threw 250 into her Agility, bringing it up to 1,173!
6 Points that were loose, she threw in 5 for Strength and 1 Constitution, which rounded the 2 Attributes up to 700 Strength and 850 Constitution.
Along with this, Juri still has 500 Points.
So she decided to raise Strength and Constitution to 1,000 Points on her Base, not counting Attribute Levels of course.
But this left Juri with 50 Points, which she decided to play with [Luck], maybe this will help when she goes to another Continent.
The System even wanted to throw her to another continent right away, but she asked to wait until they kill Priscilla or banish her.
And the System impressively accepted, saying that it will delay the Continent's punishment for now.
Her current Attributes are: 1,152(+5%) Strength, 1,173 Agility, 1,161 Constitution, 1,673 Intelligence, 2,500(+20%) Wisdom, 949 Luck, and 338/338 Sanity!
With Chi activated: 4.838 Strength, 4.692 Agility and 4.644 Constitution!
Plus Negative Power: 9.983 Strength, 9.611 Agility and 9.552 Constitution!
Juri knew it was much stronger, in the end it was 1,244 additional Attribute Points, but she would prefer it to be the same as with Normandak, where the hammer took 2/3 of his Attributes.
Juri would much rather that than randomly gain 100~1,900.
But she thought potentially this must be the work of the System, maybe the essence normally can't be consumed, or maybe a lot was lost due to time and that was just the residual.
Either way, Juri was happy to finally close a huge gap called Attributes!
And if she uses her [Magic Strength] above that, she exceeds 12,000 Attribute Points, which she thinks should be enough to beat Priscilla.
...
"You... are you stronger? Have you reached Level 200?" - Luria asked noticing Juri's aura much stronger.
"Some things happened and... Preyor left some very powerful items, which will help us kill Priscila, in fact, it will help you kill her!" - Juri smiled.
"Me?" - Luria was confused, so Juri showed her the description of the ring and sword.
"Uwo! Is that... real?" - Luria asked shocked, she had seen many Rare and Epic items so far, as well as Juri's Legendary items and was envious, as they were very strong.
But now... this was in another category!
Sure, she understood the side effects of the ring, as well as how such power is limited to the nation's lands.
But still, this is very powerful!
That's +5,000 in her Physical Attributes, if she activates her Chi, even if that's not amplified, it still adds up to what it is, she would have +12,000 Points in her Physical Attributes!
And that's without activating her [Aura], because if she activates it... likely to exceed 15,000!
And if she uses [People Power], even if she doesn't know how many people are still in the Winter Kingdom, Priscilla hasn't attacked all the cities yet.
So technically, if she goes off at full force, it can be said that her Attributes will reach around 17,000 Points.
"My God..." - Luria swallowed her saliva thinking and calculating.
"Are you confident now? Or are you going to stay crying for mommy's breast?" - Juri asked mockingly.
Humph!
Luria snorted, turning her head away, but then smiling she looked at Juri and said. - "I think it's time to kill a tramp!"
"That's the way to talk!" - Said Juri excitedly, so soon the two went to meet with Neferu and Gratya.
...
"That's what?" - Neferu asked in surprise.
"I am in possession of the Winter Nation Relic!" - Juri said smiling.
"..." - Neferu was very confused, there is no such thing!
"Let me explain!" - Juri smiled and explained some of his power and System.
Since she's leaving anyway, then we'll talk a little more.
"So... Preyor's spirit strengthened his sword through what you call the System, this higher being that supports you, then the Continent we live in, to fight Priscilla, strengthened this sword even more and cursed it, linked now to the Destiny of the Winter Nation?" - Asked Neferu finding this absurd, but understood that Juri was not lying due to an ability of his own.
"Can I see the sword?" - Gratya asked.
"Unfortunately not!" - Juri sighed.
"Why?" - Gratya frowned.
"It is because we are not in the Winter Realm, respectively the curse will take effect and I do not wish to suffer, not to mention I fear that the aura exuded by the sword could be felt by the Giant King or... that Tiefling..." - Juri said calmly.
Gratya nodded and calmed her curiosity.
Neferu was still speechless, Juri looked at Gratya and said. - "I have a method to regenerate your arm, but... that will depend on the circumstances!" - Juri said calmly.
"Really?" - Gratya was surprised.
"If you want money or anything, as soon as Priscilla dies, I will give it to you!" - Said Neferu without hesitation.
"It's not that, it's that the item I possess, besides healing any wound and undoing any curse, has the ability to revive a person who has been dead less than 1 hour, so... if Luria or I die, I will use the potion!" - Said Juri seriously and quite explicitly.
She didn't say something like: If someone important dies, I'll use the potion!
She meant specifically her and Luria, but in case they deal with Priscilla without problems, maybe Juri will help Gratya.
But that's the thing, Juri proved to be selfish now, so both parties understood that for such a potion that can even revive a person who has just died, it won't be something free and not cheap.
"Now as for the sword, naturally it will be delivered to you Neferu, as soon as all this mess is over, I have no use for a Cursed Relic that can only be used by Winter Elves, in the territory of their Kingdom.
But I hope you will be careful, because from what I understand, should the Winter Kingdom no longer exist, this sword will not destroy itself, but it will evolve into something and... I believe it will not be good at all!" - Juri said seriously.
Neferu nodded, Gratya looked relieved and pleased, then looked at Luria more meaningfully.
But when she looked at Luria, Gratya felt a fierce look and noticed it was coming from Juri, who looked into her eyes and looked as if she would attack her if she dared to say what she thinks.
As for what it is? I think it's pretty obvious, so I won't say anything, but if you want a spoiler it will be here in the comment fixed! →
[Gratya wishes to ask Luria to be the Guardian of the Kingdom, she has wanted to ask before, since Luria is so strong and has successfully practiced the [Winter Knights Handbook], currently being the only one who has practiced it and has the ability to instruct others properly].
[In other words, Luria would have to leave Juri to stay in the Kingdom and Luria's personality is of someone responsible, even though she is no longer a Knight, she is still a Noble of the Winter Kingdom as well as a Winter Elf, her heart would not allow her to leave the Kingdom unprotected in a time of need!]
[So the chances of Luria choosing her kind to her love for Juri are high, so Juri would potentially find herself stuck with Luria until the Winter Kingdom stabilizes].
