BXBX NOVEL Chapter 252 - 252
Xela continued. "Within the pantheon, there is the Supreme Deity that is magic in general, but down the line, it was decided that we would also enshrine the various elements discovered."
Darius\' and Gunner\'s eyes widened. Darius especially felt his mind quake by the sheer genius of the elves with this method. Xela saw their expressions and smiled knowingly.
"That\'s right. By enshrining the various elements, they became semi-sentient Divine Beings thanks to the infusion of Faith Energy over many many years. They are a part of the natural magical laws and elements, but also separate from them, truly unique entities."
"Each element eventually chooses its own Divine Maiden or Divine Son, who would be nurtured by the element with the goal of becoming a Supreme. I was chosen by the Light and Life elements simultaneously, though I accepted the blessing of the Light element in the end."
Xela smiled cutely. "However, I was still blessed by the Divinity of Life in equal measure to what I received from the light, and it had not chosen another Divine Maiden or Son ever since. So one could say that I represent both elements, or a bizarre mix of the two."
Darius nodded in understand, grasping the key details. As such, he was left to wonder, what was the status of the Divine Light now that Xela had been brought under the Supreme System?
When Darius put this question to Xela, she smacked her lips and coughed. "Well, this was the reason I wanted to come under the Supreme System. The Divine Light and Divine Life both sensed your prowess through me and wanted to benefit from it…"
Darius nodded. It seemed as if these Divine Concepts had gained some sort of benefit or power increase after coming under the Supreme System as a proxy.
\'So did I help them rise by one tier? If so, does that mean they are now higher compared to the other Divine Concepts?\'
This was something worth investigating once he paid the elves of Fallon a visit. For now, Darius carefully deliberated on Xela\'s options before making a decision. He would increase her class-based skills first and foremost, as her role as a healer could be further developed upon once she leveled up and gained more SP.
After all, it wasn\'t like Darius planned to let her stay at level 1. The choice to have himself and Gunner refrain from taking exp was based on wisdom and fear. Luckily, Xela could gain experience on her own if she fought on her own.
After all, the exp share mechanic was only for cases where Darius fought together with his Branded Servants within a certain range.
It made no sense for experience to be split among them if say, Gunner was in Unyris and Darius was in Kiel.
Darius shared all 50 of her points between Pure Body, Pure Soul, and Pure Spirit, bringing to from level 3 to level 20. This brought the various resistances to 20%. Unfortunately, the points were lacking a single one, so Pure Spirit was left at level 19 instead.
Done with the changes, Darius accepted everything. The three of them shivered visibly as they were empowered in terms of stats and skills/spells. It took a long while before the trio came down from their high.
Darius especially felt the 30 points in Intellect fully. As always, it felt like his mind was a large mansion that got destroyed and laid to waste by war, and it was slowly being renovated.
Before reaching 50 points in Intellect, all his points had seemed to be working on clearing out the exterior of the mansion, restoring the gardens, and fixing the fountain.
Now that he jumped to 80 points, it felt like the debris blocking the entryway of said mansion was cleared, allowing him to start working on the foyer and first floor.
At this point, he was about 60% done. Using this analogy, the ground floor of the mansion would be fully restored once he reached 100 points and sent his Mind Power into the Intermediate stage, as well as crossing the threshold for Master-stage.
Gunner also felt the same with his increased Strength. Finally reaching the threshold of 50 without needing to use his bloodline skill was utterly great.
After all, his skill only simulated his stats, so his body didn\'t fundamentally change. The feeling of losing the two abilities of Explosive Strength and Fast Regeneration whenever he turned off Earth\'s Guardian was terrible.
He had borne it in silence all this while, but being able to have it stay and become a fundamental part of him was reassuring. More importantly, with Earth\'s Guardian\'s boost, Explosive Strength was sent into the Intermediate stage!
Xela likely felt the stat changes the most. Darius and Gunner had done this for quite a while, so they knew what to expect. However, Xela was hit by her first dose to stat allocation, and it was a whole 30 points in one go.
Her Intellect which jumped to 50 points especially made her wear a strange expression that any fellow would misunderstand upon sight.
Her slightly increased Strength and Agility made her body feel much better, like she had been working out for a while and was feeling the rewards of doing so.
Once the trio were done, Xela left their room and headed to hers as they tucked in for the night. Right now, Darius\' mind was at ease from achieving his primary goal in coming to Elysium and now, he only had to consider his next priority goal.
It was only in achieving this goal that his actions in acquiring so much Dius would become relevant, otherwise he\'d have been happy with just enough to stay a few days and go.
Darius used the kitchen here to cook himself and Gunner a quick meal as they wolfed it down. Fortunately, Elysium - and especially Waukeen\'s sector - promoted freedom, so there was an escort service here too.
However, it was far more expensive than what was offered in Listo, but that should be obvious. However, looking through the catalog, Darius and Gunner were left speechless by the astronomical rise in quality.
