389 New Dragon Skills

I continued looking at Ignatius Status, quickly inspecting the two other Skills he had. All while he was crying out loud because he had grown addicted to leveling up, the quick growth in strength really made him thirsty for more. I can’t blame him for that, I would be the same if I could actually level up though.

[Dragon Scales: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/1000
A Skill developed by young baby dragons when they begin to naturally grow scales over their bodies. Dragon Scales not only are able to withstand enormous pressure and also strong physical attacks, but they can also reduce damage from magic attacks and even grant elemental resistance to the user. As this skills develop by breaking scales and regrowing them, the scales continuously grow bigger and tougher, granting +10% to Physical Damage and Magical Damage Resistance, alongside an additional +5% All Element Resistance per Skill Level.

Oh?! This is insane... I want Dragon Scales as well! I wonder if I can grow them if I develop my Beast Spirit enough... That they can just resist physical damage and even lower the elemental damage they take is pretty crazy. Do all dragons hold this type of cheat ability? And that’s not without even counting Ignatius still has his Eggshell Skill, which grants him even more physical defense, even though he has no eggshell anymore.

[Dragon Claws: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/1000
A Skill that all dragons develop as they grow, it enhances their claws to grow stronger and bigger over time. Each time they break and regrow, they’ll be larger and sharper, as hard as steel, or even beyond that. Such claws are also able to channel the elemental power of the dragon and unleash a slashing attack containing that element. As the claws break and regrow, the dragon’s Attack Damage while using their Claws is increased by +20% with each Skill Level. Additionally, there’s the ability to activate the Skill and unleash a stronger attack by infusing Mana into the claws.

And this is his first attack Skill, with this I am sure that Ignatius will become an even more deadlier and ferocious little dragon. It also seems to grow in a similar way than his scales, so the best we can do is hit him and help him chip away his claws by hitting rocks or something, that might be a good way to regenerate them stronger over time. Maybe I could ask Furoh to do some sparring sessions with Ignatius...
“Furoh, are you up for sparring with Ignatius?” I wondered.
“Eh? Well, he’s a tiny dragon... sure.” Furoh sighed.
Although he had not come out of my Soul Scape through yesterday’s battle, he had helped me by connecting his energy and magic power with me. The more Familiars I have, the stronger I grow, so even when I don’t bring them out to not threaten their lives, they still boost my battle power. Part of the darkness element I can use comes from Furoh.
“Alright! I’ll train my Skills then!” Ignatius said.
He had already begun to understand how the System worked, or more like, the most simplistic part of “kill monster = level up” and “use a skill repeatedly = skill growing stronger”, I guess that’s enough for him anyways.
“Well, with that done, and before your parents come back to the tent, Sylphy, I wanted to tell you that I’ve managed to add the EXP count into your Status, so you can see your current amount of EXP accumulated.” Alice said.
“Oh, that’s nice! But... for what reason?” I wondered.
“As you know, I use the accumulated EXP to fix errors, but they can also be used to add new things to the System. Sadly, fixing all the errors is completely impossible now, so I only use a part of it to keep everything stable and together...” Sighed Alice. “Since I became a Spirit that things had become way stable, as if I had become a living being, the System itself, which was in shambles, became connected through the life I have now.”
“Ohh, I see...”
“As you can see, you got over two hundred thousand EXP, almost three hundred thousand. I had already told you that you needed roughly 100k to create a System seed, right? The cost increases over time as well, but with what you got, you can actually create two more.” Alice said.
“What, really?!” I asked in surprise.
“Yes, however, I recommend creating only one for now. It is a bit tiring for me to create two at the same time, one is already very tiring... It would be good to wait some more time before a third is created. Also, you could use that EXP to do other things... Such as granting a Skill the power to Level Up.” Said Alice.
“Oh! Right, you can do this with EXP?” I asked.
“Yes, it costs roughly 170k EXP, but just as the System Seed creation, it will also increase over time.” Said Alice. “You were able to get a lot of EXP not only from the powerful Demon but also from the high tiered monsters coming from the Dungeon Break your father slain, so it is not common for you to find this much. You have to choose wisely what you want to spend it on.”
“Huh, I see... It would be certainly nice if I could convert a new Skill to be able to Level Up, this way a new Skill Tree opens up as well, right?” I wondered.
“Precisely! It could increase your fighting potential even more.” Said Alice. “[Agriculture] already has given you some amazing Skills related with the Nature Attribute, so think wisely about what you want to transform into a Leveling Skill.”
“Huh, I see... What are my options, by the way?” I wondered.
“As of now, you can transform into a Level Up Skill the [Lesser Fire Magic: Ember], [Mana Usage] and [Heavenly Sight] Skills.” Alice replied.
“Ahh... This is harder to decide than I had originally thought...” I sighed. “Well, for now, I want a System Seed for Naturia!”
“Foo?”
