Chapter 424 Everyone Has Their Own Talents!
-----
Not only his stats increased by an amazing amount after leveling up ten times, but Ignatius even gained a new Skill with it. It is the same power he showcased in our battle against the Blazing Wolves though… I wonder if Spirits can acquire Skills based in how strong the Spells they use are.
Well, let's check that Skill:
-----
[Fire Absorption: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 552/1000
Grants the ability to absorb Fire by spending large quantities of MP. The absorbed Fire then can be infused into the user's body to temporarily strengthen its stats and enlarge the mass of its body. The more flames it unleash, the more these stats quickly go back to normal. The maximum boost into all stats that Absorbing Fire can grant is up to +20% (with an additional +10% with each Skill Level). Additionally, while on [Fire Absorption Mode], Fire Attribute Magic becomes twice as strong.

"Huh, so it does more than just absorb fire, that's also the secret behind how you became so big in that fight, didn't you?" I wondered, as Ignatius seemed to nod happily.
"Indeed! Isn't this amazing? My Draconic Powers are finally awakening!" He celebrated.
"Hahah… I am glad for you." I said, petting him. He was honestly quite cute now.
However, aside from all of this stuff, there were other things inside of my mind as well. After all we just defeated a giant True Demon, and there's a ton of problems regarding this Cult.
If they can leisurely summon True Demons so easily, this is not something we can deal with as usual. Whatever they are involved into, might have its roots in the Demon Continent. Is the cult in this city really just made of a few resentful people?
I doubt it…
And that woman I fought back then, she survived. I wonder if… I'll have to fight her once more in the future. Will I be able to deal with her? Have I grown strong enough?
I know that my parents and Aquarina's parents, alongside my uncle and Ninhursag are more than capable of dealing with the situation as they both have strength and experience but… I know that there might be times when my parents won't be able to completely aid us.
We need to grow stronger, even stronger than now.
Naturia and Ignatius have grown amazingly strong after receiving a System Seed, and after today's battles, I accumulated a big quantity of EXP… I wonder if I can begin using it on strengthening myself or more of my Familiars.
For now, I also need to level up my Skills. Leveling up Ember and Spiritual Blessing should be a priority to strengthen myself and also my Familiars, so I should continue to activate the skills over and over again with my endless MP so I can accumulate as much Skill Proficiency as possible and level them up quickly.
If I can make Ember to reach max level, my fire magic will be way stronger than before, and I might even gain access to brand new offensive fire-attribute skills, I can't really miss on that.
But… what else can I do with these EXP Points for now? I do remember Alice saying something about the Item Box, but can that help me in battle? Maybe I could use the EXP for making a new System Seed.
Aquarina and Zack are strong, and are growing stronger, I guess I don't really need to give them a System Seed for now, as they're growing pretty well. So if I ever make one, who should receive it?
I looked into my Soul Scape, finding my other Familiars inside. Beelzebub was sleeping for now, while Alice was resting over the grasslands peacefully, and Furoh was wandering around, seemingly practicing Dark Magic and his shapeshifting?
"Ahhh… It's no use…" He sighed.
"Furoh? What's wrong?" I wondered.
I quickly emerged as my Soul Projection in front of him.
"S-Sylphy!" Furoh was slightly startled. "I… I am pretty useless as a familiar, aren't I?"
"Eh?"
"Now that you got Beelzebub for Dark Magic and even Poison Magic, I lost a lot of value in your team… I am also frail, my body is filled with scars and I am ugly so you can't bring me outside all the time… I should be able to shapeshift as a Mimic Demon but my shapeshifting abilities are also terrible, I never had that much talent…" He sighed. "This is why I've always been so unconfident on myself, and I've always been a coward… I've always been a good for nothing."
"What? You've helped plenty… I just didn't brought you outside because… Well, I was afraid you would get too hurt, after all you're not a spirit so I need to be more careful…" I sighed.
"Yeah, but Pyuku is also not a spirit and he actively fought and protected you guys… Compared to me, that slime's amazing." He sighed.
"B-But everyone has their own talents, don't give up like this…" I said.
"Sigh… But I have no talents… It would be more worth it if you just broke our contract and got a Wolf pup instead, in a few years it would grow into a splendid companion, way better than whatever I am…." Furoh seemed to have an incredibly low self-esteem. "You were in danger there and I… I wasn't able to do a single thing to help you…"
He is certainly not wrong in a few of the things he's talking about… His body is very damaged and cannot properly shapeshift as his race should be able to, his Dark Magic is weaker than Beelzebub's, and he's also not as strong and flexible as Pyuku.
Words alone can't really help him; he needs help in something else. I want to… give him an opportunity to grow stronger.
Ah…
I guess this is why I can make System Seeds.
It is so I can help those that have never been given the opportunity to grow stronger, even when they had always been trying their best to survive and grow.
"Alice! Let's make another System Seed."
