Chapter 206: Olivia’s Evolution [Part-2]
[Stormblade Warden (Special): The Stormblade Wardens are swordmasters who have harnessed the raw power of lightning in their martial pursuits. Through rigorous training and attunement to the forces of the storm, they channel electricity into their blades, turning themselves into living conduits of lightning.
As a reward for this evolution, you would get the organ [Lightning generator] for free. Your affinity with the lightning will be increased to rank C as well.]
’This one is almost the same as the last one; the only difference is that this one focuses more on the lightning aspect rather than all elements. My affinity with lightning will be increased as well... Ummm! What use does this organ have.’ Thinking this, Olivia clicked on the Organ option.
[Lightning generator: The Lightning generator is an organ that will be planted beside the monster core. The organ will continually fill itself with lightning mana over time. In the rare scenario, the user can even use the core’s mana as a backup to fill the organ instantly.]
’Uhhh! Continuously fill itself? What does that mean... is it that different from the mana regeneration skill I had heard of? Maybe it is after all there is no mention that it needed mana to create the lightning mana...’
While trying to understand this Oliva could almost feel herself sitting in the physics class, where she wasn’t understanding a single thing despite understanding all the words.
’....How much mana it can hold after completely being filled, why is there no mention of this.’ Even after reading the description of the organ multiple times, the confusion inside of her only grew more.
’At least be clear with the skill.’ With this thought in his mind, she looks down at the window.
[The Skill <Storm Dash>, <Volted Parry>, and <Fulmination Nova> will be provided with a bonus of 30 in agility and 10 in strength.]
’So the first one is self-explanatory, I can partially understand the second one but what in the world is the third one...’ Olivia thought as she clicked on the second and third skills.
[Volted Parry: When blocking an attack, the Stormblade Warden channels the incoming energy into their sword, storing it briefly before releasing a burst of lightning back at the attacker. This skill rewards a well-timed block with a counteroffensive strike.]
’So this one is a half offense and half defense skill, good..’
[Fulmination Nova: In a moment of intense focus, the Stormblade Warden releases a concentrated burst of lightning energy in all directions. This attack will briefly stun all nearby foes.]
’Uhmm! This one is an area of effect skill along with being a good crowd control..., I have to be a bit careful with this one but it is nice nonetheless.
All in all, Olivia was happy with what this evolution option was providing, the only problem she might had was already solved with the extra organ that was being gifted.
With clear satisfaction, she clicked on the last Evolution option...
[Novice Asteri Swordsman: After choosing this evolution, you could wield a sword as if it were a part of your body. This evolution would make you the first Swordsman among the Asteri species, paving the way for sword skills within your kind.
As a reward, you’d earn the title of "First Swordsman of the Asteri." With this evolution taken, you will get a 50% discount on a hand-type mutation during evolution.
The Skill <Advance parry>, <Whirlwind Blade Dance>, and <Precision Thrusts> will be provided with a bonus of 15 in both agility and strength.]
’So this was the evolution option that Thala had mentioned. He said that although everything else was good, the reward for this one wasn’t as great. Well, I can see why he had said that...’ Olivia thought as she looked at the reward of this evolution.
’Well, in exchange for the reward, I’m getting this title... the effect of this title isn’t immediate, but after some time it will sure show its worth.’ Olivia thought as she read the description of the title.
"Well, if this is it, then I guess I have my answer..." Whispering this, she clicked on one of the evolution options with a smile on her face.
[Do you want to continue your evolution as Stormblade Warden (Special)]
[Yes/No]
With a smile on her face, she clicked on the yes button. Soon after this, an option for manual evolution popped up in front of her. Remembering that she had to choose from hundreds of options, she sat comfortably and began to scroll through options.
...
"Azarex keep this egg safe..." Dhruv muttered as he looked at the undead lord.
Nodding his head he began to command his undead and formed a wall around her egg. Having completed this task he looked at Dhruv and asked,
"Is there something else I can help you with My lord...’
Instead of answering this question, Dhruv began to think for a while. Getting an idea he turned toward Alarex and answered, "Now that the prison is gone you can enter the dungeon with all your undeads right..."
As if he was waiting for this question, Azarex answered immediately, "Yes Master I can enter the portal even with golly..."
’Is golly the name of that giant golem...’ Making this assumption Dhruv looked at him and answered, "When Olivia has completed her evolution call me then. You can connect through Mark after just entering the portal..."
"As you wish My lord..." Azarex bowed as Dhruv began to walk toward the portal once again.
’Should I complete my experiment or should I wait so the resource is harvested.’ Dhruv couldn’t decide between the two.
After a minute of pondering he finally reached a conclusion, "Well we already have collected enough resources so I can start it...’ Dhruv thought as a smile appeared on his face.
Having enough resources was just an excuse he had cooked to calm his mind, the real reason was that he couldn’t wait to see the result of the next thing he was going to do.
’...well the shit was going to be fire or disastrous there is no between that..’ Dhruv thought as he brought out the core from his ring.
