Chapter 1389: Thanatos, Mister Jester, and Mister Teddy Status
Ding!
[You have exchanged 40.000.000 EXP!]
[You have crated [System Seed] x2!]
I placed the cubes on top of Mister Jester and Thanatos, Celeste's Spear, and then I saw how they slowly melded with their bodies, disappearing, and then fusing with their souls.
The process was quick and efficient, and both familiars started glowing with bright, powerful auras of silver and black color. They generated new status for themselves and gained the ability to level up and gain skills.
[You have given [Mister Jester] a System Seed and they have successfully awakened a Status System!]
[Mister Jester] has developed new Skills and their Stats have increased!]
[You have given [Thanatos] a System Seed and they have successfully awakened a Status System!]
[Thanatos] has developed new skills and their Stats have increased!]
"And it's done!" I said, nodding. "Their Souls were already well developed, so they didn't have to create a Soul from zero. They were able to assimilate the system seed just fine, though it was a bit harder for them. I think the stronger their souls grow, the harder it is to assimilate a system seed. I think a stage or two after their current ones and its impossible to give system seeds to living beings with souls of their own."
"So that's how it is," nodded Celeste. "I always wondered why you never gave system seeds to your parents and just told them about it, or why you never gave one to your brother either... So it's because it can't be done?"
"Nope, they can't really assimilate the system seeds unfortunately," I explained. "It seems to work the best on inanimate objects without souls, or on weak people, spirits, or creatures."
"It is a tool that increases the speed of growth after all," said Alice. "So it will work better for those that aren't tremendously strong. I would say the limit of system seeds is around what Nephilim had when we found her."
"Yeah, compared to everyone else her growth with the system seed is quite slow," I nodded. "I suppose it's better at the beginning and then it slows down quite considerably."
"Indeed, btu even then the growth is still very fast compared to traditional cultivation anyways!" said Alice. "Now, Mister Jester the golem and Thanatos the cursed spear should have their own Status, check them out."
Suddenly, two status screens appeared in front of us.
<Status System>
[System Owner]: [Thanatos]
[Race]: [Abyssal Demonic Living Cursed Spear: ****]
[Class]: [Demon-Eating Cursed Spear: ****]
[Rank]: [B+]
[Level]: [0/80]
[HP]: [20.000]
[MP]: [20.000]
[Strength]: [25.000]
[Defense]: [10.000]
[Magic]: [20.000]
[Resistance]: [10.000]
[Agility]: [25.000]
[Luck]: [5.000]
[Charm]: [5.000]
{Skills}: [Autonomous Flying Weapon: Lv7] [Living Cursed Spear: Lv6] [Demonic, Cursed, and Miasmic Energy Assimilation: Lv5] [Rapid Self-Repair: Lv5] [Cursed Demonic Spear Aura: Lv5] [Abyssal Spear Ki Aura Domain: Lv4] [Nine Lethal Curses: Lv4] [Soul-Draining Cursed Chains: Lv3] [Cursed Spear Transformation: Lv2] [Demonic Guardian: Celeste: Lv1]
Thanatos Stats were pretty high! Although they weren't as high as my Scarlet or Sapphire at Level Zero yet, most likely because my weapons have the power to assimilate materials and increase stats, something Thanatos seems to lack.
However, all the new skills it developed will be very useful for its growth from now on, and there are also many skills it must have developed recently from Celeste's own growth.
This Spear is just the definition of broken though, chains that can drain life, the ability to absorb any kind of dark energy or power, it can fly and move on its own without problems, inflict destructive curses, and can now unleash an Aura, a Domain, and can even transform. That last Skill must increase its stats whenever it is protecting Celeste, which almost always happens as it is her weapon, so that's a pretty nice free buff.
Then there's Mister Jester, the little, black, and dark azure-colored metallic golem with a helmet as a head, which is shaped like a jester mask. It had long legs and arms, with even longer fingers and glove-like metallic armor.
Honestly, it seemed much creepier than before.
<Status System>n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[System Owner]: [Mister Jester]
[Race]: [Netherborn Jester Golem: ****]
[Class]: [Nether Jester Sorcerer: ****]
[Rank]: [B+]
[Level]: [0/80]
[HP]: [20.000/20.000]
[MP]: [25.000/25.000]
[Strength]: [10.000]
[Defense]: [15.000]
[Magic]: [25.000]
[Resistance]: [15.000]
[Agility]: [20.000]
[Luck]: [10.000]
[Charm]: [10.000]
{Skills}: [Netherborn Jester Golem: Lv7] [Malicious Prankster: Lv10] [Explosive Magic Card Summon: Lv9] [Illusionist Fighter: Lv8] [Jester Sorcerer Armor: Lv6] [Jester's Cursed Poisonous Claws: Lv6] [Prankster's Switcheroo: Lv5] [Random Effect Magic Card Summon: Lv5] [Netherborn Black Steel Body: Lv2] [Netherborn Spectral Body Manifestation: Lv1]
Their stats were pretty interesting, quite the unique spread. It went more for magic attack and agility, but the rest was quite decent too. It was stronger than I imagined for its little size. Also it had a lot of interesting skills, I can tell this golem is made to bother people with a bunch of annoying effects. That Malicious Prankster, Illusionist Fighter, Prankster Switcheroo and Random Effect Magic Card Summon seem particularly annoying. Overall, a really strong golem, and a good guardian for Celica... Oh right, Mister Teddy also evolved like this.
<Status System>
[System Owner]: [Mister Teddy]
[Race]: [Netherborn Bear Golem: ****]
[Class]: [Nether Specter Knight: ****]
[Rank]: [B+]
[Level]: [0/80] [HP]: [40.000/40.000]
[MP]: [10.000/10.000]
[Strength]: [20.000]
[Defense]: [30.000] [Magic]: [10.000]
[Resistance]: [20.000]
[Agility]: [5.000]
[Luck]: [10.000]
[Charm]: [10.000]
{Skills}: [Netherborn Bear Golem: Lv7] [Unwavering Protector: Lv10] [Furious Bear Rampage:
Lv9] [Steady Fighter: Lv8] [Black Knight's Armor: Lv6] [Black Knight's Hammer: Lv6] [Black Knight's Shield: Lv5] [Teddy Bear Phantoms Summon: Lv5] [Netherborn Black Steel Body: Lv2] [Netherborn Spectral Body Manifestation: Lv1]
Oh, it's similar than before, but even stronger I think! It also recently leveled up, but I this is its status at level zero for a better comparison between the two.
Most of its Skills are the same as before, but both golems now had this [Netherborn Spectral Body Manifestation] Skill and the [Netherborn Black Steel Body] which most likely have to do with their new evolutions into Netherborn Golems.
The first... I think it helps them manifest large parts of their bodies, the second, just an
increase in their defenses?
Most likely.
"Nice, it worked!" Celeste nodded.
"You're stronger than I thought Mister Jester!" Celica clapped.
"Well, now that we got that out of the way, time for you two to Rank Up while we are at it."
