Acquiring New Skills!

After fusing Monsters, I really had fun doing that…

So after we decided to finally go to the EXP Dungeons, I made sure to tame three Normal Giant Bees and the Queen… three times. Of course, if you tame a monster, you don't kill it, so no EXP from the bosses…

Nonetheless, the EXP Dungeon is amazing, and I still managed to get two levels.

Ding!

[Your Level has increased to Level 15!]

[Your Level has increased to Level 16!]

…

Four more levels for Level 20 and then… second Job. Yeah, yay.

More importantly, Cuco reached Level 6 just recently, and Kireina and Ervas Level 10.

"Now that I am Level 10… The System says that I must be given "materials" to reach my next level cap," said Kireina.

Materials, huh?

"How many?" I asked, as the System promptly answers.

Ding!

[Required Materials: 5000 Gold, 500 Hero Feathers, Fresh Blood]

It says… I see… Wait, fresh blood?!

"How much fresh blood do you need?" I asked.

"Eh? F-Fresh blood? It says that?" asked Kireina.

"Yep… It sure does says that…" I sighed.

"Eeeh… Well, you say that I could drink from yours, right, Master?" asked Kireina while blushing.

"You're right… Just take a little bit in the neck, come here," I said, as I invited Kireina to sit at my side, as I offered her my neck.

"Aahh… Master's tender neck…" she muttered, as I could feel her warm breath over my neck… This was exciting, I couldn't help but admit it.

"Nom…"

Kireina's fangs pierced my skin and seeped deep, a little pain came, but her warm saliva was able to calm the pain pretty quickly.

She began to drink for a few minutes, as Ervas watched in silence rather expressionlessly.

Without realizing it, we got into a pretty awkward situation, didn't we?

I could feel Kireina's tongue sucking my neck as she drank the blood dripping from my wounds, she was literally kissing my neck passionately at this point.

I contained my friend down here from raising over this as much as I could until it finally ended.

With a last kiss in my wounds and a little lick, Kireina smiled at me.

"I think I am full, thanks for the meal, master~ I will make sure to repay by devoting myself to you even more… It is the least I can do," said Kireina with a gentle smile, as she kissed my cheek.

"It is nothing… Oh, thanks Ervas," I said, as Ervas healed the wound in my neck rather swiftly. He gave me thumbs up in silence… What is he thinking about?

Anyways, after that, I used the materials and…

Ding!

[Kireina] level cap has been raised to 20!]

Done!

Now, onwards to the next… Ervas.

[Required Materials: 4000 Gold, 400 Hero Feathers, Salad]

Eh? A salad?

"Ervas, do you feel like eating a salad?"

"Eh? Erm… sure?" asked Ervas.

"Oh? I can prepare some, is there lettuce?" asked Kireina.

After a few minutes, Ervas ate his salad (the weirdest required material), and then his cap was raised to 20 too.

[Ervas] level cap has been raised to 20!]

So why salad though? Is it because he's a "nature's child"? Pfff, that's actually a bit funny…

Anyways, when that was done, I decided to finally get some new Skills from the Hero Jewels.

I have decided to not pick Evan yet, as his Skills are way too pricy still, and instead, I decided to pick… [Emerald, Subhuman Slayer] [★★★]!

Yup, I am picking this small-time-villain scumbag…

I quickly willed it as his Jewel fused with me, and then I was given the list of Skills he had.

I picked three of them and acquired them, but I still need skill points to "unlock" them.

Flash!

[You have consumed the Summon Jewel: [Emerald, Subhuman Slayer] [★★★]!]

[You acquired the: [Danger Perception (C)], [Fire Jewel (D)], and [Wind Jewel (D)] Skills!]

[You gained +1000 Hero Feathers and +100 Hero Fragments]

And done.

Now… Dancer Perception is pretty good, so I am picking it right away, it helps me detect danger and it can even give me some foresight of the future, just like in the character of the novel.

[Danger Perception (C)]

Use your inner instincts to perceive the danger of anyone you would deem as dangerous, in occasions, premonitions of the future alerting you of dangers to come might be given randomly.

Increase the chances of such foresight to occur as the skill grade increases.

…

And that's it.

This thing costs 2500 Skill Points to learn!

I remember seeing that it cost way less, but it costs less only to the actual summons, to me the price can even multiply several times!

Why?! Well, whatever.

[You exchanged 2500 Skill Points!]

[You learned the [Danger Perception (C)] Skill!]

Now, there are two other Skills, the jewel ones… those let me generate jewels of the elements, very limitedly though, not like the actual summon, so I will have to develop it a bit, but it is something.

They cost way less than Danger Perception, so I pick both immediately, the more skills the merrier.

[You exchanged 3000 Skill Points!]

[You learned the [Fire Jewel (D)], and [Wind Jewel (D)] Skills!]

[Fire Jewel (D)]

By using mana, create a red-colored jewel imbued with Fire Attribute, at this Grade, only small jewels can be created, which can be controlled through telekinesis only for around a range of one meter around you.

Unless specifically made and with a lot of time put into it, jewels will dissipate back into mana after a few minutes of existing.

…

Essentially, the more mana I use the larger the jewel, but the harder it is to maintain in midair, but this can be used even as bombs… What if I infuse it with Fire Attribute and then make it small? I throw it and then… BOOM!

Yeah, I am liking where I can get this into…

The Wind one is the same, but wind, small gusts can be generated and stuff, and they can also fly higher…

Well, for now, I will rest a bit while practicing my new skills.
