Darius checked and was left speechless. As it turned out, Gunner benefited from 500 points from his Royal Half-Giant blood. Giants were a physical

/melee race only, with no magic capability whatsoever.

It should stand to reason that they would be extremely resilient against physical attacks and weak to magic and soul attacks, but that was also untrue!

Since Gaia had handcrafted the Giants, why should she have designed them with such a obvious weakness in the first place?

No, the thing Gaia had done, had been to completely crush all magical capabilities in Giants and spread it over their skin, giving them insane magical defense in exchange for never being able to cast.

A fair trade.

Another 500 points of magical defense stemmed from the awakening of Earth's Guardian. Not every Giant had awoken this bloodline skill, and those who did were so powerful that even the Gods could not eliminate their race.

100 points came from his Vanguard class. As an all-around tank class, it made sense that it would offer some Magical Defense.

100 points may seem meager compared to the 500 he had gained through other means, but it was grand when taking into account the criteria needed to have more than even 10 points of Willpower for the average bloke!

And then, a whopping 1200 points stemmed from his Anti-Mage Subclass, which was the biggest culprit for it all.

The class was the opposite of the Giant race. It had forsaken all offensive power and physical defense power for purely magical defense.

Hence, the increase was far greater compared to the others.

After understanding the cause for the high Willpower stat, Darius was left speechless.

Trying to regain his calm, he checked Gunner's new Vanguard class skill that he had received for becoming an Adept.

Mana Ward - Level 1 Skill

Darius was not surprised. This was basically the magic version of Gunner's Energy Ward which he had acquired after becoming a Journeyman. After all, starting from the Adept stage, mages became more of a threat than physical fighters.

Darius smacked his lips and invested Gunner's SP carefully. Mana Ward was brought to level 40 first of all, and all his other skills were upgraded one by one.

Gunner was well endowed in every sense of the word, his physical skills gaining great power. Even with Earth's Guardian, he could now lay down more than 5 times the hurt he could previously.

With Earth's Guardian, he could easily have beaten Beelzebub as they met him, when he was slightly injured. Gunner had a leftover amount of 23 SP which Darius left alone.

Gunner might acquire a better skill in the future that he may want to invest in, so it would come in handy then. Done with the large lad, Darius turned to the Elven Princess.

!!!!

Darius was even more flabbergasted now. First, Gunner had an absurdly high Willpower stat, now Xela had more than double his? What was the reason for this?

Upon checking, Darius was left unable to complain.

It turned out that the average High Elf had a natural Willpower of 300, yet Xela's Royal blood had blessed her with 500.

Then there was her Cleric class which gave her 200 points of Willpower and her Divine Maiden Subclass which gave her a whopping 3,000 points.

After all, her Subclass was what linked her to the Divine Concept of Life and the Divine Concept of Light, each of which offered 1,500 Willpower.

And because she was also linked to the Divine Concepts through the Supreme System, she was once again hit with 1,500 each from them.
