339 Ignatius’ Sadistic Training
—–
At the end I caused more of a ruckus than I could had imagined and had my parents explaining to me that they were doing nothing at all, just playing. Of course, as someone that remembers being a young adult woman, I know all about the sex thing, even though I never had myself. So I am quite sure they were enjoying some of that… But for now I just pretended to be dumb and accepted their lies, I just wanted to surprise them a bit, not trouble them with something so ridiculous to begin with.
I was already resting over my bed, and Aquarina was convinced to go to her own bed too (a miracle!), though I am sure she’ll appear in my bed when I woke up…
Meanwhile, within my Soul Scape, something completely different was happening, Ignatius was practicing his new Skills! I discovered it was possible to acquire Skill Proficiency inside my Soul Scape, so utilizing Skills constantly can accumulate more power to Skills. Using this, I’ve begun to rapidly increase the skill proficiency of my [Yggdrasil’s Endurance] Skill, and it getting super close to max level! Additionally, Ignatius is training his three Skills, and has already leveled them all up once, he’s a hard worker.
Naturally, I appeared there with my Astral Projection while practicing my [Yggdrasil Endurance] Skill by asking Furoh to attack me with his tentacles and Naturia with a barrage of vines and bullet seeds. They seemed happy to do it inside my Soul Scape as it wasn’t my real body, this way I can accumulate more skill proficiency. Although still, it tires my mind, so I can’t do it 24 hours a day, but I can get a nice boost of a few hundred skill proficiency points in my Skills this way, each day I am getting closer to maxing out the Skill.
Of course, to remain in this Astral Projection State, I have to concentrate a lot, so I usually do it when I am not moving around or doing any external exercise. Ignatius has a Skill named [Eggshell] which seems to be similar to the [Yggdrasil Endurance] Skill I have, so right now, Furoh, Naturia, and Beelze were all attacking him with their blows.
“Tentacle Spear!”
Furoh infused Mana into his tentacles, reinforcing them and covering them in a metal-like darkness coverture, enhancing their power and attacking Ignatius with a barrage of consecutive piercing attacks.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
…..
“Aggh…! T-This kind of hurts! Ugh…! My HP is going down… H-Heal me, Naturia!”
Ignatius resisted the blows from Furoh, as his eggshell suddenly began to crack, if it cracked, he would lose even more HP. I don’t know what might happen if he loses all his HP, but we don’t want to risk it.
“Foo!”
Naturia gently obeyed, as she stopped firing bullet seeds at him from afar and bathed Ignatius with a bright yellow-gold light. She had become rather proficient in using Tier 2 Life Attribute spells by now, so she was a decent healer of smaller wounds. Of course, she still can’t reach the point of a total reconstruction of the body like my mother, but the higher the Tier of the spells, the better they get.
FLASH!
The bright light healed Ignatius cracks, as he quickly flew across the space of the Soul Scape, clashing against a small worm coated in darkness, Beelze. The two had already become rivals. Beelze felt envious of Ignatius getting the System Seed, as he also wanted the same privileges than him, and he decided that beating him with the excuse of gaining skill proficiency was a good way to feel better with himself, I can’t blame him.
CLAAAASH!
“Heh! You got a System yet you’re still a little egg at the end, Ignatius! Show me what you got, boiled egg!” Laughed Beelze, he was a small caterpillar-like maggot though, so he didn’t had much of a right to speak like that.
“I am not a boiled egg, you stupid worm!” Roared Ignatius savagely. Both clashed against one another as flames exploded against darkness. The two were very weak compared to when they were alive, as they had turned into low-ranked spirits, but as I developed, they should also grow stronger, even more if I become capable of creating more System Seeds and distribute them, although the next on the line is probably Naturia, sorry, Beelze, you’ll have to wait even more.
“GROAR!”
Ignatius continued to utilize Baby Dragon’s Breath, a skill that allowed him to generate powerful little flames from his egg crack where his mouth was located, with that, he unleashed a spiraling storm of flames against Beelze, who protected himself with a barrier of darkness.
BOOOM!!!
“Heh, you’re not half bad… That damn System you got must be helping!” Said Beelze.
“I was always this strong, bug!” Said Ignatius while laughing prideful.
“Don’t forget about me!” Furoh appeared quickly after, clashing against Ignatius and using his tentacles like whips, hitting hi constantly and slightly shatter his eggshell a lot.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! frёewebnoѵēl.com
“AGGH…! GRAAARR!”
Ignatius quickly reacted, covering Furoh with flames and swiftly flying away from the range of his tentacles, only to be quickly healed by Naturia once more…
“Ah! My Eggshell reached Level 2 already!” Celebrated Ignatius. “I can feel it got a bit harder! Now I can-”
CLASH!
Naturia didn’t let him rest, firing a giant walnut at him, this was a Tier 2 Nature Attribute Spell named Bullet Seed, it allows us to create seeds which we enhance with magic to get as hard as rocks, and we fire them like projectiles. Pretty handy, huh?
“Agh! Not even giving me a break to celebrate? You’re the worst!” Ignatius complained, as Naturia ignored him and continued firing walnuts at his eggshell, quickly generating even more cracks.
I quickly decided to join them while I slept, so I could train [Yggdrasil Endurance] and other Spells to get more accustomed to them. Taking advantage of the Soul Scape is the ideal way to grow stronger!
