Chapter 90 Health Status
Chapter 90 Health Status
Veer decided to evaluate himself after seeing Rain off. He had fought for ten years straight, and that gave him a lot of rewards.
For testing, he went close to a giant boulder on the riverside. Releasing a foul breath, he pulled his right hand backward into a fist. Then, putting his full strength into it, he punched the boulder.
With a loud boom, the boulder was shattered into pieces. As he looked at the crumbling rock, Veer raised an eyebrow.
'Now, now, this is something else,' Veer grinned, feeling the power coursing through his body. He had not used Mana in the previous strike, as he wanted to test his body, and they certainly didn't disappoint him.
It was easily thrice as strong as when he had entered the Labyrinth, and even that was because it had encountered a bottleneck. Veer would need to use his Primordial Arcane Forge to Ascend to E-Rank.
To reach the Intermediate Stage, he needed to fulfill a few requirements: Mana Pool, Mana Control, the Second Cycle of Primordial Arcane Forge, and finally learn an E-Rank Spell.
After his experience in the Rune Formation, his Mana control had reached a terrifying level. He could control even a single wisp of Mana with a thought. It also allowed him to ascend his Mana Core, which was now at E-Rank.
So, he had already completed two requirements. The other two, though, were problematic. He didn't have any E-Rank Spells, and getting one any time soon seemed unlikely.
'Can I even do the second cycle?' Veer shuddered, remembering the torturous pain he had gone through during the First Cycle. He didn't even want to imagine the pain he would have to endure in the Second Cycle.
As he looked around, Veer thought, 'I can't practice it here either. This Forest is filled with Magical Creatures...'
So, ascending to the Intermediate Stage would take time. He decided to just focus on what he could do with his current strength best.
'I can also play around with Spells later,' Veer thought.
He didn't have time to mess around with Spells in the Academy, but now that they were trapped, he had plenty of time...
'Wait! Do we have some time limit to clear this Labyrinth?'
Now, that was concerning. He would need to work faster, just in case there was a time limit.
Veer then proceeded to perform some of the Martial art stances he had learned from Elara. It wouldn't be a lie to say that Elara was a prodigy in every category, but that really shone in hand-to-hand combat.
Each stance pressured him to use his strength carefully. He once almost put too much strength on his leg, nearly breaking it as a result. These Martial Arts were based specifically for Warriors, who have a ridiculously strong body.
Now that Veer's body was filled with newfound strength, he considered it to be the best way to get used to it.
He spent the best few minutes performing all the basic stances he could remember, then some more. By the time he finished his practice, he was sweating buckets, which made him take another bath in the river.
As he sat at the bottom of the river, holding his breath, he thought, 'I can now control it better, but that's mostly because I've already fought with this strength for so long.'
Veer could fight instinctively with his new strength; however, he wanted to control every last ounce of it. In a battle, control was very necessary, and he didn't want to lose that.
Just for that, he already had plans to challenge some Magical Creatures later. Battles, especially death battles, were best for stuff like this, after all.
'Oh yeah, System, you evolved, right? How much you changed?' Veer asked, his body enduring the immense water pressure from above.
[Since this was System's First Evolution, the changes are minor. One of them is status.]
'Yeah, that's really helpful, especially the health points and mana points,' Veer smiled.
[Yes, Host can now access his wife's status.]
'I don't understand... wait! Did you mean I can see their status even now?'
[Affirmative!]
Now, that was good evolution. Veer smiled and said, 'Show their status!'
[Name - Liliana Draven]
[Age - 19]
[Class - Ice Mage]
[Health Status - Alive (Healthy)]
[Race - Noble Ice Dragon] [Silver Moon Dragon (Locked)]
[Mana Core - E-Rank]
[Aspect - Glacier Heart (S-Rank)] [SSS-Rank (Dormant)]
[Description - Grants the ability to freeze anything within range, from objects to living beings to anything that exists. As the power grows, the freezing range and intensity increase. However, prolonged use may cause a loss of empathy and emotional warmth.]
[Love Metre - 100/100 (Yandere of top level. Would do anything for you.)]
'That's pretty much the same, but still at least with this I can be rest assured,' Veer sighed in relief. Although he knew they were more than capable of surviving in any condition, the Rune Formation had given him a fright.
'What if they also get stuck in a Rune Formation like that?'
The thought was horrifying, so having this really helped. It made his worries disappear, mostly. As he looked at Liliana's status, he noticed there was a health status function.
'Good! Now show the status of my other partner!'
[Name - Elara Flamme]
[Age - 18]
[Race - High Human]
[Class - Fighter/Tank]
[Health Status - Alive (Injured Heavily)]
[Rank - F]
[Aspect - Purifying Flames (S-Rank)]
[Description - Summons flames that consume anything within reach, leaving only pure ash behind. These flames burn away all corruption and impurity, cleansing everything they touch. As the Aspect's strength grows, the flames become hotter and spread further, even able to burn through spiritual barriers. However, overuse may result in amplification of emotions, leading to a crazed berserk state.]
[Love Metre - 99/100 (Will burn the world for you)]
Veer's heart skipped a beat as he cursed, 'What are you doing, bitch? What happened?'
He lost control over his body in his panic, making the water almost crush him. He hurriedly climbed up and thought, 'I will kill you, brat. I swear I'll kill you if you don't come back!'
His heart turned cold, as a dangerous glint passed his eyes.
