Chapter 107: Maxed Out Affection
Was he finally going to receive the blessing of the first Seat of Archon ability? What would it be?
Nolan thought with great anticipation.
He had thought this process would take a bit longer since the increase in affection was generally unpredictable, largely dependent on the subjective will of the other person.
Like the times when he was still a student.
Encountering a beautiful female classmate on the way to school, even without knowing her, would probably raise his affection points by several hundred! Thus,
Although he didn't know Fischl's feelings towards him, considering her affection was already close to max, coupled with the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation that pushed things further, it didn't seem too surprising to have reached max affection.
As he pondered, the prompt on the character panel appeared:
[With your sincere heart and persistent efforts, you have deeply connected with a destiny that was originally unrelated to you. From now on, the maiden's star will shine alongside yours, granting you the ability: Grand Illusory Dreamscape of Myriad Forms, Eye of Judgement!]
Oh? Nolan looked at the information that popped up on the panel with some surprise.
This ability should just have been Fischl's fantasy, but he actually received it upon maxing out favorability!
It did seem to fit the special characteristic of little Amy, or Fischl herself.
Nolan read the ability's description:
[Grand Illusory Dreamscape of Myriad Forms, Eye of Judgement: This is the most beautiful blessing from the maiden to you. Upon activation, your pupils turn golden, allowing you to easily see through illusions, trace elemental signs, and perceive the strength and weaknesses of targets. The intensity is based on the combined levels of you and Fischl, with no extra consumption.]
Wow!
That doesn't look too bad, kind of like an upgraded version of Elemental Vision with other better features.
It's a bit of a shame that it doesn't have an attack, it's all about support.
The fact that there's no extra usage consumption is great, meaning he could use it just like he would his normal sight, except for getting tired if he overused it, without any other consumptions.
The intensity equaling the combined levels of both is also interesting. Hmm, Nolan is currently level twenty-four, while for Fischl...
Thinking this, he activated the Eye of Judgment and looked towards Fischl, his black pupils gradually shifting to a golden hue like Amy's hair.
The first thing that entered his new field of vision was Fischl's floating golden hair and the snow-white back not covered by her black skirt.
Then, looking upward, a number similar to his level appeared: [Level: 37].
It seemed the Eye of Judgement used Nolan as a benchmark, displaying Fischl's strength in a clear and straightforward manner.
Quite convenient, as there was no need for Nolan to spend extra effort understanding; a glance made it clear that Fischl was nearly reaching her second ascending in strength.
Nolan's twenty-four plus Fischl's thirty-seven meant his Eye of Judgement could discern the strength and weaknesses of targets up to level sixty-one.
Moreover, it would continue to grow as both of their strengths improved, very satisfying and not disappointing at all.
At this moment, Ellin approached with a small bonfire stand, enticing several dim, small Pyro Slimes over.
Nolan directed her to place the bonfire stand horizontally at the bottom of the water orb. The flames scorched the water orb, and indeed, through his golden Eye of Judgement, he could clearly see.
The orderly water elemental forces inside the orb reacting with the fire elements to evaporate, already slightly affecting the magical water orb.
Unfortunately, the flames from the bonfire stand weren't enough to break through the magic circle; it required the Pyro Slimes' assistance.
The Pyro Slimes, already nearly recovered inside, immediately approached the fire to hasten their recovery upon seeing the flames.
As time gradually passed, the Pyro Slimes gradually recovered, and Ellin withdrew in advance to avoid becoming a target.
It didn't take long before the pyro slimes transitioned from a dark reddish molten hue to a blazing orange color, signifying they had recovered from their dampened spirits after the rain.
The euphoric pyro slimes bounced around a bit higher, then made contact with the overhead water sphere.
"Sss~"
A sound reminiscent of flames being extinguished filled the air.
This particular Pyro Slime, having encountered its disliked element of water once again, looked up somewhat disgruntled, only to find two humans gazing down at it.
Its low intelligence simply perceived the humans as attackers, enraging it completely!
Its oval eyes bulged as fire elements coalesced within its bouncy round body, before violently spewing out a continuous volley of small fireballs that bombarded the magic water sphere.
Through Nolan's golden eyes, the elemental trajectories within the water orb became chaotic, and the magic circle under his feet flickered uncertainly.
The magic's operation, reliant on water elemental force, was compromised by the evaporation reaction consuming a portion of it. A fault in one component often presages the total collapse of the whole system.
The other two fire slimes noticed their comrade's attack and joined with their own strings of fireballs.
As more water elements evaporated away, the magic array under Nolan and Fischl's feet vanished completely, dropping them from the water sphere onto the earthen ground.
The startled pyro slimes had no chance to react before the next second, the magic water sphere utterly collapsed, dumping massive amounts of water that went "splosh."
The few fire slimes unable to dodge were drenched again, their orange-red bodies dimming as they panickedly fled.
"Hmph! Considering you helped greatly, this princess won't beat you up anymore!"
Fischl's snowy white hands rested on her hips as she raised her chin proudly towards the fleeing slimes.
Drenched from head to toe, her beautiful long hair clung to her back without a hint of fluffiness, and streaks of water trailed down from her golden hair tips, outlining the soft curves of her buttocks through her black silk undergarment, before merging into the long tail of her dress and eventually dropping to the ground.
Having recovered from the earlier events, Fischl had returned to her usual self.
Not only were the slimes affected by the water, but a Pyro Abyss Mage abandoned by the Hydro Abyss Mage also seemed on the verge of awakening from its stupor due to the cold shock!
Nolan's Dull Blade turned, his golden eyes settling on the Pyro Mage, and soon bright spots of light appeared on its head and heart area.
Indeed, most monsters' vulnerabilities did not escape the brain and heart.
After testing the Eye of Judgment's ability to discern weaknesses, Nolan thrust his sword towards the mage's forehead, penetrating without resistance as blood dripped down the blade.
[Defeated A Powerful Enemy, Obtained 1214 Adventure EXP.]
It seemed the ability to perceive weaknesses had limited effect on common monsters since the brain and heart being vulnerabilities was quite evident without it.
"Princess, let's go outside and join Oz in dealing with the remaining enemy!" Nolan suggested to Fischl as she picked up the hem of her dress.
Fischl wrung the water-soaked fabric in her hands, releasing a cascade of water onto the cave floor, splattering some mud onto her delicate, damp black stockings.
Her pale face broke into a slight smile:
"Hmph! This princess must make it taste drowning too!"
