Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 2443: Growing Stronger



Before checking the items, Frank saw the system notifications in front of him. Ding!

[You and your Party have slain hundreds of [Cursed Serpents Yokai (C ~ A Rank)]!]

[You and your Party have slain [Vengeful Demonic Spirit: Koga Saburo (??? Rank)]!]

[You earned a tremendous quantity of EXP!]

[Your Level has increased from Level o to Level 40/40!]

[All your Stats have increased. You have reached Max Level and can now Rank Up your Job Class.]

[Several of your Skills have Leveled Up more than one time!]

[You earned the Title: [Yokai Nemesis]

[Damage Dealt against Yokai increases by 50% and Damage taken decreases by 20%.]

[You earned the Title: [Slayer of Mythical Spirits]

[You can pierce through 20% of a Mythical Spirit's Defenses and they deal 10% less Damage to you.]

"Oh, these are useful." Frank thought. "If I'll be fighting more of these Spirits, then this Title will help."

[You learned the Skill: [Magical Projection (Weapons): Lv1]

[You can use Mana to directly project and materialize Weapons that the user has previously Traced using and Memorized completely. When giving it a name through Magic Naming, the object might take upon a new form entirely based in the name, and its power will be increased. When wielding such weapons, you will naturally learn how to wield them. Effectiveness and power increases as the level does.]

"Magical Projection?!" gasped Frank. "That's... I guess it is what I've been forcefully doing by combining the Skills I have and my Naming... Though it has only been spears so far, perhaps with this Skill I could do more now."

He had discovered that this could be one of his greatest talents so far, so he was going to exploit it as much as possible when fighting, as it even allowed him to fight and defeat a monster such as a Mythical Spirit despite their power difference.

"Before anything, let's change Job Class right away."

With a mental command, new system notifications appeared.

Ding!

[You have reached Max Level, and you qualify to Rank Up your Job Class!]

[Showcasing Job Class Rank Up Options...]

<Job Class Rank Up Options>

[Magic Weapon Tracer]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Mythical Spirit Slayer]

[Holy Lance Knight]

[Null Magician]

[Magical Namer]

"Five options this time? The last two I didn't pick are there, huh?" wondered Frank. "Hm, but I don't think I'll take them, I need something to give me more power."

[Magic Weapon Tracer] immediately became interesting to Frank, but seeing how Job Classes worked, they would often times offer a new skill based in what they did, and some passive bonus and stats.

Therefore, choosing what he already had might strengthen it, but not enough to make a big difference. Instead, maybe choosing something he didn't had could help too.

"Holy Lance Knight..." he glanced at that third Job Class. "Is it because of Rhongomyniad?"

It wasn't even a permanent skill or power, yet he had obtained a Job Class based on it.

Was this destiny?

Frank was tempted, but...

"No... I can't take this."

Rhongomyniad required an immense amount of Mana to summon, a Job Class around that wouldn't work for him.

Mythical Spirit Slayer would let him have a greater edge against these beings.

Although picking it would only be solely based in the speculation he'll be fighting more, he had no idea if he would or not.

Magical Namer could strengthen his Naming powers, giving them, perhaps, a bit more versatility.

And then Null Magician...

It was the most mysterious.

"A Magician Job Class will surely give me more Mana..." he thought. "Ah, this is hard but..."

Ding!

[You have selected the [Magic Weapon Tracer] Job Class Rank Up!]

[You have evolved into a magician that can Trace Magic Weapons and then recreate them or learn how to use them instantly through more Mana. A very Mana-intensive Job Class, you'll require a lot of this energy to use your powers properly.]

[However, as a wielder of this Job Class, you've become naturally attuned, your body has gained Magic Circuits, and not only can you hold more Mana within them, but you also can more efficiently Trace, Project, and Name Weapons, reducing their Cost by 20% and increasing their power by 40%]

[The More Weapons you Trace and Project, the more you'll grow your Magical Abilities and develop towards this Path.]

[You learned the Skill: [Magical Tracing (Weapons): Lv1]

[Your Physical Stats have increased by +500!]

[Your Magical Stats have increased by +1000!]

[Your Level Cap has been opened to Level 60!]

[Your Level has been reset to Level o!]

At the end, however, he chose the Job Class he had rejected at the beginning, immediately feeling a surge of new power course through his body.

He noticed several circuits of magic being rapidly formed across his skin, of azure and green color, which then become invisible.

"Ah... I guess this was the best Job Class at the end," he nodded confidently.

Although he had rejected the offer at first, after considering it was the best to specialize in his greatest trump card and make it even better, he went for this.

He needed rapid growth, but stats alone won't do, he needed the power of Magic Weapons, Tracing, Projection, and Naming.

This is what he'll concentrate on developing, all while also trying new things with Magic

Spells and the other Skills.

Frank quickly glanced at his status, noticing most of his skills had not only just gained more than one level, but some had gained three, or even four levels in a row.

The battles he had gone through and him overusing all his skills so much ended earning him a large quantity of Skill Proficiency for everything he used.

Ultimately, some skills were even already at Level 9 and might reach Level 10, prompting a Skill Evolution, or so he remembered.

But although things seemed really goof, as his magic stats were now beyond 2k and the others above 1.7k, making him at least six or even times as strong as before that battle, he still was a

bit upset about something.

His Mana Core had yet to even advance a single stage...

"I need Mana from Terra, but I can't access that world for some reason, and I'm out of their

Mana Stones too..."

As Frank pondered what to do, he quickly analyzed those stones Koga Saburo dropped.

And to his surprise...

FLASH!

"Huh?!"

He was able to absorb them, and his Mana Core progressed its growth.
