Chapter 48 It's time to settle scores with the first witch!
"In short, since we're going to give you socialization training, this is the first lesson."
"Come on, try to get close to me normally first, since I'm leaving soon anyway."
Rod patted the bed.
Ivina's face was blank; she sensed that something was amiss...
"oh oh."
But she still nodded in agreement.
Rod thought about it for a moment and suddenly felt a little strange.
By the way, speaking of which...
Why have all his injuries healed?
Are the doctors in the Duke's mansion really that skilled?
Never mind, it's not that important...
He continued to pat the empty bed next to him.
"Wait, wait a minute! I need to prepare myself mentally..." Ivina quickly waved her hand.
Rhodes looked puzzled:
"Are you thinking about something terrible? It's just a bed that someone else has slept in. What's there to be mentally prepared for?"
"Huh...?! No...no, that's not it! It's just that I've never been this close to anyone before..."
"That's why I'm having you tackle this problem," Rhodes nodded.
"I know! I'll give it my all!"
Ivina gritted her teeth, her face burning hot, and took off the hair clip from her hair, throwing it on the table before leaping into bed.
Like a maggot, it wriggled twice and then wrapped itself tightly in the blanket.
But... it was at this moment that she instantly felt the warmth and scent of Rhodes' body filling the bed.
The natural scent made her blush even more, and she quickly pulled her head out of the covers and took a couple of breaths of normal air.
Like a child, she lay upright with a small fingertip sticking out of the blanket, looking incredibly cute.
"I did it, hmph," Ivina said proudly.
"Mmm, that's great!"
"Hmph, that's for sure."
"..."
She couldn't even understand if she was being sarcastic or veiled.
Never mind, silly child...
"That's good, so it's time to sleep, dear Ivina."
"I know. You don't need to tell me. It's more like you're the one talking nonsense..."
"It's just helping you overcome your barriers to contact."
"?"
Ivina sensed something was definitely wrong; was this man deliberately playing a trick on her?
"Good night." Rhodes's "good night" interrupted her thoughts again.
"Oh, hello."
Rod patted Ivina on the shoulder, threw off the covers, got up, opened the wooden door, and walked out.
In an instant, the cold outside was felt on his skin.
"It's definitely better inside the room, but it still needs to be dealt with eventually."
He turned his head and looked at the charred room deep in the corridor, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Stepping into the room, one can only say that it was indeed burned beyond recognition. Although the fire was mostly extinguished, traces of charring were still visible everywhere.
Without hesitation, Rhodes blew the whistle—
The sound resounded through the sky, but it also attracted a strange bird or beast—
It was a small green bird, like a sparrow, its wings fluttering slightly as it landed on Rod's shoulder.
This is the "messenger," or rather, Professor Merrick's special informant.
"Tell Professor Merrick... the witches are gathering in eight days, and the killing point has arrived. Have her come to the Duke's mansion to hunt down the witches and settle some scores."
"Then, have her transfer the secret scroll via her pre-set points, and tell her that I have broken through and advanced three times."
"Chirp..." The bird crowed like a chicken, but then flapped its wings and took flight—
Strangely, it only flew for five seconds before disappearing from Rhodes' sight as if it had evaporated.
However, Rhodes was not surprised.
That's the terrifying thing about Professor Merrick's skill: her messengers can completely evade the attacks of any level four or lower powerhouse and safely reach her ear.
Rhodes hadn't expected to need a messenger, but this was something he never anticipated...
"It's time to settle accounts with you, witches."
"You guys completely outmaneuvered me in the first playthrough, but this time I'm going to beat you to a pulp... Plague Witch."
Rhodes knew in his heart that the real decisive battle would be the coming-of-age ceremony eight days later, so he quickly activated the divine seed within him—
"Come, Elven God Seed."
[Elf God Seed]
The moment he made his decision, the wellspring of his mind began to change.
Miraculously, all the numerous sources he previously possessed merged together at this moment—
The green representing life, the gold representing war, and the white representing the soul, seemingly influenced by the multicolored elf species, transformed into a special power in that instant!
In an instant, Rhode felt his body become several times more violent, and his brain felt as if it were being torn apart by a sharp pain.
"What's going on?"
Rhodes gazed at his body, where several strange golden runes emerged along his meridians, seemingly granting him a significant boost in power in an instant!
It's quite bizarre.
It was as if four faiths were clashing violently, constantly tearing apart and rearranging themselves in his mind, eventually evolving into something even more bizarre—
Finally, everything shrinks back into the heart and limbs.
You will fuse divine seeds to create entirely new skills.
[The current divine seed supply is saturated. Please upgrade to obtain more space.]
Your panel has been updated.
[Rhodes]
[Upgrade Level: Three times]
【property】:
Physical Fitness: 115→144
[Agility]: 101 → 132
[Physical Constitution]: 103→136
[Spirit]: 110 → 140
[Faith Deity: Outer God (Unique) (Abnormal)]
[Talent: You can fuse the characteristics of all other divine species to create entirely new talent skills.]
Your skills have been improved and simplified, and you have gained entirely new skills.
【Soul Body Amplification LV.1】 becomes 【Creative Body LV.1】, and 【Dragon Sword LV.1】 becomes 【Elf Dragon Sword LV.1】.
【Body of Creation LV.1】: You can increase a single character's mental resistance by 15% and all attributes by 20%, and the body will exhibit some elf-like characteristics.
【Elf Dragon Sword LV.1】: You can forge an Elf Dragon Sword. When equipped, your Strength increases by 35, Agility decreases by 10, and you can also gather some elemental power.
You have acquired a skill—
【Creation Clock LV.1】: You can create two stone giants of the same rank, whose attributes are inherited by 100%. When each giant dies, your health is restored by 20% and your physique is increased by 10%.
This time, the attributes were not significantly improved.
The attribute required for four upgrades is 500 points for each attribute, so his upgrades are not considered a big deal.
The key difference lies in the significant change in skills, which have been greatly improved.
The only problem remains the same.
The skill level is too low.
His attributes are now so disjointed from his skill level that even if the skill effects are greatly improved, they cannot be considered very effective.
All we can do is wait, wait for Merrick to arrive, before his skills can truly be doubled.
"However, the new skill is terrifyingly powerful."
"Aren't these kinds of skills only available to bosses? What's with this 'greatly increasing one's own power after devouring a clone' thing?"
Rod rubbed his chin slightly, thinking about it no matter how he looked at it...
Even now, if he were to fight a fully-fledged Daphne, he might still be able to kill her.
It seems that on the day he hunts witches, he will be able to fight at least three or four witches who have been promoted three times at the same time.
