The Tales of Draconic Warlock

A lot has changed in my status panel in this last semester. The thing is, I don't know whether it is good or bad.

I mean, I grew a lot stronger, which would help me survive longer than before but by focussing all my youth on training, I missed a lot of chances like I did in my past life.

I hoped that I would not have any regrets like I did in my past life but I feel like I would this time too.

Maybe having regrets is a part of life too. If that is true, then life sucks.

Anyway, my level increased from level 35 to level 50. A total of fifteen levels increase.

I achieved this using the Dragon Blood Evolution skill, which improved my bloodline's purity to 30% Purity and combined that with Rank Booster, it was easier to reach level 50. I should concentrate more on this bloodline but the resources required are enormous and I can't bear the costs too many times.

From the last mission, I obtained a lot of points, which were more than useful for this. I used all my academic points to get the resources I needed to improve to the point that I did in these few months.

With the increase in rank levels, I can feel my magic power increase by a lot, and also my vitality but even now I can only see ??? in those three attributes.

It doesn't matter anyway, as long as there is improvement.

Now, what I concentrated actually on was the STR, END, DEX and AGI. They didn't improve after I reached Tier-6. I do know that was because my Devourer Physique was not working as stopped increasing the quality of the monster meat.

Without an increase in the Tier of the monster, my physique stopped handing me any advantages that it used to give me.

STR, END and AGI have already reached a 6-digit number long ago. Moreover, with those trials I took in Nexus, there was a +100% bonus. It means whatever number I reach, it would actually be double.

The only problem was with DEX, which has not even reached the mid-4-digits. It was still far away from reaching 5-digits and also there is no +100% bonus like it was with those three.

There was one other attribute that changed and that was Soul Energy.

As I have no idea about Soul and such things, I didn't poke that for a long time. Normally, having a higher number for an attribute means that it is very powerful but there could be some side effects that many ignore.

First, the physical body should be able to handle such strength.

My INT value has gone to a height that can't be reached easily, but I did. Of course, that doesn't mean that I can make the best use of that attribute, as my physical body is still weak. The mental burden on my brain to use such high INT is enormous.

Though physical and mental attributes may not be required to be equal in number, they should be in a certain proportion for them to work properly. Your next journey awaits at mvl

For Soul Energy, I face the same problems but I don't know what the problems are here. So I couldn't rashly improve my Soul Energy or I would have to face the consequences for that.

Anyway, I finally found some books about Soul in the academy library. Apparently, everyone has to deal with that attribute after they reach Tier-7. This was something I didn't know. No wonder people who don't attend the academy or don't have proper backgrounds wouldn't reach Tier-7 unless they are lucky and encounter something fortuitous.

Using my Devour Skill, I consumed a few of those monster souls that I kept in storage. The number reached an all-time high during the monster tide.

The books said that there won't be any problem, no matter the Soul Energy. It also mentioned that the higher the Soul Energy is, the faster one could increase their skill levels. It may appear as if nothing has changed much but the body has to adjust to the increased amount and that would take years.

Though the dangers are none, without adjustment, the full capacity of the Soul Energy can't be seen. It was also speculated that Soul Energy can be used to cast some soul skills but to this day that was just a speculation, at least for Glessaria Kingdom.

If there are any such skills, they should be probably mentioned in the books in Nexus Library, in the ones I can't access.

Since increasing Soul Energy would be beneficial and not dangerous, I increased it by almost 20,000. I could increase it more but I already have a +200% bonus.

These books should have been written by someone who has not seen such circumstances as me. So, i would increase Soul Energy but at a steady state.

I won't miss out anyway. It was already stated that it would take body time to adjust to the improved Soul Energy to take advantage of such improvement.

Almost every skill had seen at least a slight improvement in their levels. Except for a few, which I couldn't concentrate on as they are usually very difficult, every other skill saw improvement. Of course, a level or two increase is not entirely because of the hard work I did in these four months but because of the work I did before.

For example, Pet World was already on the verge of breaking to the next level and it needed only a slight push to reach the next level. This semester, I only improved it by a level.

The greatest thing about my skills would be that a few crossed level 30, four to be exact and a skill at level 30. A few more are near to level 30.

Some of the resistances have crossed level 20.

If I progress the same way as I do now, I should be able to near level 40 in skills and level 30 in resistances before I graduate.

Even with this many improvements, there are a few improvements that I couldn't gain. They belong to the Mind Category as they are time-consuming.

I already consumed a lot of time on Demon Gaze as that could instil fear in the enemies, giving me a chance to strike them down before they get a grip on their senses.

I increased that because I was sure in a year or less, William would strike or send his cronies to deal with me. It won't be a one-on-one fight. He already knows that though I am a Spellcaster, I excel at those fights.

Mind control skills would be very useful but they take far too much time to improve and an heir like him should have some skills or artifacts to counter such skills. There was no use for them at this point.
