Chapter 60: The God Blessings’ Skills
—–
This morning, mother had yet to give me the seeds. She said she wanted a whole week to pass before then because she wanted to teach me more Nature Magic so I could have a better understanding of it, or at least a bit more than what I already know.
But today, I decided to practice my new skills which I had gotten from the Gods’ blessings, the blessings the System absorbed and repurposed.
The first two abilities were passive, so I couldn’t do much with them. However, I knew that Hero Seed gave me the ability to have more charisma when talking with people. My words become more believable, and I have an easier time dealing with people. I guess they want me to be like the charismatic hero archetype, I suppose.
On top of that, it also has the power to enhance my companion’s power and slowly make them into Hero Companions, those that I make strong bonds with. I think they might be able to grow faster due to this, as well as develop new abilities and magic.
Then again, as of now, there’s no candidate. Aquarina herself is a hero so I don’t think it will affect her… maybe that boy Zack? Now that I think about it, I haven’t met him in a while. Oh well, I did interact with him for almost three years, so I don’t consider him as less of a friend than Aquarina. Though his attitude most of the time only makes me angry than anything else.
Perhaps he’ll get the boost? I guess he will… unless he also becomes a hero? Yeah, I doubt it. I don’t really see anything special in him that might make me think otherwise.
…..
Maybe Naturia? I don’t know if it affects spirits, but I really hope so… hmm… the System perhaps? That’s a bit of a mystery. How about Ignatius? I’ve bonded with him throughout the years, but he’s still annoyingly stubborn, so I don’t think so.
My parents? Hmm… they’re already heroes so I don’t think it affects them. After all, they probably already have the Hero Seed on them.
The second passive ability I got was Divine Protection. It has the great effect of protecting me from a lethal attack to my soul or body once a day… in other words, that means I could probably fall of a cliff and survive instead of becoming some sort of minced meat surprise.
Well, it’s certainly useful, but ideally, I really wouldn’t like to ever get into an encounter that could endanger my life to the point that I would need this ability to trigger…
Anyways, there’s also Heavenly Sight, the active ability. This one has three small abilities within itself. The power to see from far away, the ability to inspect information regarding objects, and the ability to see a few seconds into the future. I’ve been practicing and using each one since I got them. Well, even though they didn’t seem to help out in a fight, I found them very interesting.
The ability to see far away is useful. It could help me scout large areas in front of me with ease. By looking from the window, I can see the snow on top of the mountains nearby, and also see creatures lurking around… the other day I inspected the forest and saw a group of wolves hunting a large lizard-like creature.
Through this, I can see several kilometers in incredible detail, as if I were a hawk.
After that, there’s the ability to inspect objects! It can also inspect living beings, but the info it gives is very vague compared to what I could get from objects.
It could be said this is similar to the powerful Appraisal spell my parents use sometimes, which helps them see information and quality on an object.
I used it in my pendant for example, and I got this.
…
[Red Dragon Fiery Heart Core Pendant (Tier 9)]
Equipment: Accessory
Element Affinity: Fire
Ability: Fire Dragon Heart, Fire Dragon Soul, Greater Fire Enhancement, Greater Fire Affinity, Greater Fire Manipulation, Soul Bond
Enhancement: Increases damage dealt by Fire Magic and doubles mana regeneration.
A pendant crafted by a talented Alchemist and Crafter. It is made from the powerful magic crystal of a Red Dragon. It contains part of its fiery soul which brings a powerful enhancement to the user’s abilities related to Fire. It is bonded to the wearer’s soul and can only have one owner in its lifetime.
…
Like this.
It looks quite good, and every important item I inspect will show me some info like this inside my head. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but now that I’ve gotten to used to the streams of information entering my head, it’s a very useful ability.
Hahh~ I wish I could get an accessory like this but for Nature Magic this time.
Oh, I also recently got my ears pierced. With that, I finally got around to wearing the earrings that Aquarina gifted me back then. But since that first birthday, I’ve only gotten clothes gifted to me rather than any magic accessory or weapon…
Then again, the clothes themselves are said to be made by magic tailors and are enhanced with magic power. Even this little dress I’m wearing right now seems to bring a major enhancement to my defense and agility.
And the earrings? Well, they enhance Water Magic, but I haven’t even tried using Water Magic yet. It doesn’t come out naturally like Fire or Nature Magic, so I must first study its runes and magic circles.
Apparently, it has a piece of the soul of Leviathan in it, but unlike Ignatius, a bubble containing it hasn’t appeared inside my soul, so perhaps I need to meet some special requirements first.
Though, it would be cool to contract Leviathan and make it my Water-type Familiar! But perhaps Aquarina got him? Or maybe this soul bubble inside my soul containing Ignatius is just a unique thing due to the System’s ability to absorb souls. After all, I saw how Ignatius was defeated and the “EXP” he gave to me was part of his soul.
With his pendant, I got the other part, and the two combined generated this phenomenon where he appeared here… I don’t know if I could emulate it with Leviathan, since I haven’t really gotten his “EXP”.
Maybe if I could get an accessory made out of Beelzebub or his thugs, I could get a nasty fly as my Familiar? I should probably ask my parents about that…
