Chapter 827 A Draconic Meal
Chapter 827 A Draconic Meal
-----
Erika's body erupted with draconic power. Not only did I feed her a lot of dragon meat from all these monsters, including the bosses, but I also gave her a drink made with the dust created from the bosses Spirit Orbs, mixed with the dragon's blood.
She chugged it in a single drink after I told her it would make her stronger, and once she ate more meat, the effects finally triggered.
A crystal within her chest was formed when her new body was created, this crystal is similar to my own Dragon Heart, but it also possesses the power of a Dryad Heart.
It is something I simply call Yggdragon's Heart, and it's a unique crystal that replaces her actual one.
Ding!
[Erika] has absorbed a large quantity of Draconic Energy from Dragon-type Materials.]
[Her [Yggdragon's Heart] has been strengthened. Her Draconic Energy output has been increased by +50%!]
[All her Stats have increased. Several Dragon-related Skills have Leveled Up.]
The Grimoire told me what changes she undergone, interestingly enough. Perhaps now because I had registered her in my grimoire and could see her Status and that of my friends.
"W-What? My power… It's growing so much?" She wondered, looking at her own hands. "I feel so strong now!"
"I guess it's working." I nodded. "Your Dragon-related Abilities will continue to evolve and improve as you consume these monsters, as I guessed. It is a nice and easy way for you to grow stronger."
"Amazing! I didn't know I had this power myself!" Erika said in wonder. "Blake, did you figure it out yourself?"
"Yeah, the Dragon Elixirs always had a greater effect on you, it awakened new abilities on you too, and it even leveled some of your skills. Now that you fused two Talents and gained several dragon-related Skills, it's going to make things even swifter. As long as your stats can grow high enough, you will be able to even defeat Archdemon Vessels on your own." I smiled. "And we'll need that, eventually… We'll have to fight armies of Demon Lords and Overlords in the future."
"Right…!" Erika nodded. "I'll be at your side and help however I can! So I'll keep eating all the tasty food to get stronger!"
"Well said." I nodded.
My friends were looking at the scene with mixed reactions.
"Blake I think she's just happy she gets to eat a lot of meat." Chris sighed.
"Hahaha, well, it benefits her." Eric laughed.
"Isn't it a bit unfair that she can grow stronger so easily like that?!" Elfriedden complained.
"Well, she had to go through a lot to get that power… And I mean a lot." Elizabeth said. "I think it's alright… Erika is becoming our second powerhouse after Erdrich!"
"I don't know if I should feel flattered or not…" Erdrich was eating his tenth skewer already. "Hm, Blake, bring me more of these."
"Serve it yourself." I raised an eyebrow.
"Me too! Me too!" Erika said happily.
"Alright, everything for you." I nodded happily.
"Such a huge contrast…" Alberta giggled.
After our meal came to an end, including Erika eating so much she had to rest for a couple of minutes because her belly was too big, we continued our journey.
Although it was a huge dungeon, its lineal progression and similar-looking floors made it a rather straightforward journey.
Floor 4 wasn't empty of a boss this time, as we were greeted by the giant catfish again. An easy win. With the help of Elfriedden's Ice Magic and the Marine's Tsunami Skill, he was easily paralyzed, Erika and Erdrich finishing it off with ease.
The monsters were the same as Floor 3, but there were around fifty more, so it was just even more Experience Points for all of us. We didn't feel tired, so we continued moving.
Floor 5 was empty of a boss this time, but it had double the amount of monsters as Floor 4, so over two hundred. I had to employ more Familiars to make things even without slowing down our pace.
This time, I also employed Saphira's help, and allowed her to bring forth Undead Dragon Monsters, which can temporary be raised and become her minions. A hundred was her current limit, good enough for us to easily clear Floor 5.
And once we arrived at Floor 6, we were greeted with a second Wyvern King. This time, the ones that didn't fought it before did, as we decided to clear the mobs. Alberta, Eric, Elizabeth, and Erdrich crushed it with ease.
Their fast movements and powerful magic, especially Eric's amazing arrow rain captured the wyvern king's wings and destroyed them before it could continue flying. Erdrich and Alberta crushed its chest with their strongest physical blows.
And Elizabeth provided support and defense with her amazing and useful Saintly Magic…
"GRUOOHHHH…!"
BAAAMMM!!!
Yet another boss was defeated, EXP rushing in as my Grimoire showcased our progress as my spear pierced the head of the last Giant Salamander left in Floor 6.
Ding!
[You and your Party have defeated [Blazing Volcanic Rex (B+ Rank)] x174, [Giant Magma Salamander (B+ Rank)] x202, [Blazing Magma Turtle (B+ Rank)] x79 [Magma Salamander Drake King (B++ Rank)] x1 and [Volcanic Lava Wyvern King (B++ Rank)] x1!]
[You earned 315.700.000 EXP!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 88 to Level 92/100!]
[All your Stats have increased. You Earned Bonus Stat Points and Skill Points.]
[Some of your Skills have Leveled Up.]
Four levels out of three floors worth of EXP, I guess its not bad, it has seriously slowed down now. The EXP requirements are increased tremendously with each level now that I'm in the very last 10 levels.
It must be because it becomes harder to breakthrough the "wall" that is progress the closer you are to it. While simply moving towards it is easy. That's something that the professors at the academy explained.
It is a phenomenon that diverges from people to people, but the higher your level is, the larger the EXP needed becomes. Now its increase by 25 million with each level, and it might increase even more once I hit the 95 Level mark…
And after taking a short break at Floor 6, we moved towards Floor 7.
The landscape suddenly took a drastic change.
"Are those… Black flames?!" Eric asked in shock.
"Hoh, we're lucky." I smiled.
