nGeth was quite surprised when he looked at his Skeleton's progress. All three of the lower Levels had risen over 40.

nHis Skeleton Archer was the most impressive, being ready for its Class Promotion. Geth just stared at the information for a moment in surprise.

n

"Is my Tame really stronger than my other party members now?

" He chuckled as he pictured the Skeleton out-damaging Zolis and Filthy.

n

"You survived something that you really shouldn't have. Otherwise, you certainly wouldn't have been offered Legendary gear,

" Albus reminded him.

nHe then continued,

"Killing that thing granted you two million experience. Your Skeleton Archer received 40% of that.

"

n

"Well, we can look over the Skeletons in a minute. Let's go ahead and settle the Attributes.

"

nAlbus simply nodded in response.

n

"Just bump Defense up to one hundred and put the rest in Wisdom. Pull up my Attribute screen, please.

"

"That brings my Mana Recovery to almost 92. We need to focus on upgrading Talents that will enhance that,

" Geth stated.

nAfter reviewing his Attributes, he was satisfied but still felt that his Skills were too costly. It was as if he had been receiving Skills that were beyond his Level since he'd arrived.

nAlbus opened the list of Skills and Talents. The current effects and upgrade costs appeared before him.

n

"All right, let's start with upgrading Mana Skin to an Uncommon Talent,

" Geth stated.

nTwenty Five TP was instantly deducted from his count and he was shown a new window.

n***

nMana Skin has reached its stage of Evolution. Talent will be upgraded from Common to Uncommon. Please select which path you would like to follow;

nOption 1- Mana Density

nHeavily increases the effects of Mana Skin. Wisdom bonus increased to 15% of base Attribute.

nOption 2- Mana Dome

nKeeps the current effects of Mana Skin. Has an added effect of increasing Intelligence.

nWisdom bonus remains 10% of base Attribute. Intelligence bonus increased to 1% of base Attribute.

n***

n

"Mana Density, please, Albus.

"

nGeth didn't have any use for option 2. He didn't intend to increase his base Intelligence anytime soon.

nA wave of Mana rushed around his body on the outside, startling the group he was walking with. His Mana jumped by 175 points, and his recovery increased as well.

n

"What a rush!

" The increase of 35 Wisdom hitting was quite powerful.

nAlbus switched back to the Skill and Talent screen.

n

"What would you like to upgrade next?

" He questioned.

n

"How much to upgrade the Rarity of Reflection and Rune Comprehension?

" They were both currently in the second stage of Uncommon.

n

"Sixty-four TP to upgrade both of them,

" Albus stated simply.

n

"Then those are next.

"

nTwo screens suddenly appeared in front of Geth as he felt some changes in his body. Both Talents' effects moved from Level 2 to Level 4.

n***

nReflection has reached its stage of Evolution. Talent will be upgraded from Uncommon to Rare. Please select which path you would like to follow;

nOption 1- Mirrored Body

nAll damage received is reflected back to attacker as true damage.

nEffects increase from 5% to 10%

nOption 2- Spell Reflection

nAll damage received is reflected back to attacker as true damage.

nEffects remain 5%

nAll non-mental Spells will have a smaller version of the Spell reflected towards attacker.

nReflected Spell's Effects- 25% of casted Spell

n***

nGeth instantly became interested. The first option included all physical and Spell damage he received.

nStill, he tried to picture the effects of the second option in a large-scale battle. The damage wouldn't matter since it reflected the Spell's effects instead.

n

"Albus, let's take Spell Reflection here,

" Geth ventured. He then turned to the Talent he most anticipated.

n***

nRune Comprehension has reached its stage of Evolution. Talent will be upgraded from Uncommon to Rare. Rune Comprehension only has one path;

nFormation Comprehension

nYou have begun to dabble in the path of the Formations. You have come to have a deep understanding of the Runes.

nRunes will become easier to connect into small Formations. The higher you Level this Talent, the more complicated the Formations you can craft.

nA failed Formation is much more dangerous than a failed Rune. Tread carefully.

n***

nGeth looked around the dome. Not a whole lot actually changed, but ideas were constantly flooding his mind.

nHe looked over towards the library of Runes etched into the dome's walls. They currently filled a large portion of the dome, almost twice his own height.

nThe change was more in the way he saw some of the Runes. While staring at the wall, different Runes would stand out to him.

nGeth could make out what would happen if the Runes were inscribed into a Formation together. Though, it wasn't every Rune that stood out to him.

nThe ones currently standing out to him were Water, Heat, and Air. A simple formation appeared in his mind that would cause a large amount of steam.

n

"Well, I can't do anything about teleportation yet,

" Geth chuckled. He glanced around at the hieroglyphics.

nAll of the Formations that stood out to him were simple. With this information, he could increase the quality of life in the cabins, but nothing stood out as far as defenses.

n

"It isn't as great of a change as I thought it would be,

" Geth told Albus.

n

"Maybe not, but you are taking a noble path. Formations will be one of the most essential pieces of knowledge for humanity's survival.

"

nAlbus shook his head.

n

"Use up the last of your points and choose your Skeleton's Classes. We have some things to discuss. You have thirty-seven Talent Points left.

"

nGeth nodded and turned back to the Talent screen.. His eyes quickly landed on a Talent he'd been neglecting.

n
