Chapter 337: Selcis
-----
"Papa!"
The half-scorpion girl rushed towards Frank, as Frank was once more smothered by her strength and her enormous and near-obsessive love for him.
"Ugh, little girl, you really need to learn how to utilize your strength…" sighed Frank.
"Ah… Sorry, papa…" sighed the girl, as Frank was able to slip off her enormous lower half.
"Did she learned how to talk by herself?" asked Gwendolyn, feeling intrigued over the girl\'s origins and her abilities.
"Well… She was born like this. I don\'t know what kind of relation Frank\'s blood has on it. Perhaps it helped in her evolution to an extent… Perhaps to the point of giving her the ability to understand part of the language… I always spoke with her," said Orb.
"So she has spatial magic as well… all by just taking on Frank\'s blood? Then we all should just drink a bit of his blood too…" said Kamei.
"Well, you could give it a try, but perhaps this affected her egg because it was in development…" said Frank.
"So maybe it can\'t work on other people based on that?" asked Axitl.
"That\'s just my hypothesis, I am still rather in the blue in here… But it could be anything, really. Even I am rather unaware of my full capabilities… Perhaps my blood could be some kind of mutagenic substance or something like this," said Frank.
"Maybe we could give it a try right away?" asked Vheslia.
"Sure thing," sighed Frank, as he brought a little cup from his Inventory and then poured blood into it, giving it to Vheslia.
Vheslia glanced at the blood and chugged it off without thinking it twice.
"Hmm… It\'s particularly sweet… Oh, it is actually quite good…" said Vheslia, praising Frank\'s blood as a flavorful drink… Though he didn\'t know what to think about it.
Everyone glanced at her but nothing much happened…
Until…
"Eh? I feel rather healthier than before now… Hmm…" wondered Vheslia, as everyone noticed that her demon horns grew way bigger now, spiraling upwards as if she were an Archdemon!
Her pointed tail also grew particularly bigger, and her eyes gleamed with a crimson-red light as well.
And lastly, her already pale-white skin turned even paler.
"Eh?! Did she evolved or something?" asked Gwendolyn.
"I did…?! Uagh! My horns grew larger… Is that why I felt my head heavier?" wondered Vheslia, noticing her long tail, longer than usual, and her pale white skin turning even paler. Her hair also grew longer.
Frank did a quick check into her status and found out she had actually changed her race from Demon to Archdemon Witch…
"I am an Archdemon?! Just like that? Oh and my stats increased… and I got Skills like Dark Vision and Curse Magic…" said Vheslia, she only had an affinity for Dark Magic, and that was her Mana Core, but she ended getting Curse Magic now!
"Out of just drinking Frank\'s blood?!" asked Kamei, almost getting shocked that her little joke came out to be true! Frank had some kind of super blood that enhanced anyone that drank it!
"Eeeh?! I guess it was the truth! See, master? Your blood is magical! Little scorpion here became like this due to that, and… err, take responsibility!" said Orb.
"Fine, I mean, she helped in the last fight, and she\'s honestly adorable…" sighed Frank, petting the half-scorpion girl. Her upper half was that of an adorable little chocolate-skinned girl.
In the end, Frank decided to name her Selcis, one of the names and pronunciations of Selket, the Egyptian Goddess that was represented as a Scorpion.
"Selcis! My name is Selcis, papa?" she asked cutely, waving her stinger around as if it were a tail.
"Yes, that\'s your name now… I guess you do possess the essence of my blood within you, so you are my blood-related daughter… It is quite shocking that you were conceived through such means, but I will try to take care of you. Albeit you\'re already quite independent, aren\'t you? Coming here all by yourself…" said Frank.
"Sorry papa, I will try to ask you before coming to mama\'s home…" said Selcis.
"Mama? Oh, I see…" said Gwendolyn, glaring at Orb.
"So Orb is like her mother?" asked Axitl.
"Eeh? W-Well, I guess. But adoptive though… Oh, maybe giving her my divine energy counts too? Although there is no blood inside of me," said Orb.
"Then she\'s our daughter?" asked Frank.
"Uwah! N-Now this sounds weird…" sighed Orb.
In the end, and after a lot of talking, Frank promised to share his blood with everyone present later, while he decided to bring Orb inside his Divine Realm because he didn\'t like that she was outside of his main home all the time.
And how did he bring her there?
Well, he firstly purchased a cheap book named Telekinesis inside his App Shop, a special Skill he never got which he really wanted.
It was rather cheap because it wasn\'t anything outstanding without proper energy and power, and he managed to learn the skill and not get it absorbed into other skills because it was something quite different from the others, aside from his Void Magic, which was able to do Telekinesis through the spell of that name, but a Skill named Telekinesis would surely be better.
[You exchanged 5000 App Points!]
Seeing the book, Frank quickly learned the Skill.
Ding!
[You learned the [Telekinesis: Level 1] Skill!]
And then Frank decided to cheat a bit…
[You exchanged 10000 App Points!]
[The Level of [Telekinesis: Level 1] has increased to Level 10!]
[The [Telekinesis: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Psychokinesis: Level 1] Skill!]
"Hm, this is good enough…" he thought. Frank was more or less capable of awakening and also leveling up Skills using App Points, but the stronger they were the more they needed. Telekinesis was a fairly weak Skill so it didn\'t require much, but things such as Fate Blades would cost way more per level! It was a big investment he wasn\'t ready to make yet… And he was better off building proficiency over time with those instead of using so many points… Maybe.
