Ding!
[You have assigned [Red Scaled Fire Wyvern: Draco (D++ Rank)] as your [Battalion]'s [General] 1/3!]
[The Familiar has gained speech and intelligence, and all of their Stats have increased by a further +225%, and their Skills Damage and Effects are enhanced by +100%.]
"ROOOAAAARR- A-Ah, ah! Huh? Oh…" Draco quickly stopped roaring, suddenly opening his eyes wide and glancing back at me. "Master, thank you for assigning me as the General."
"No problem." I smiled. "I was thinking that one of your kin would be good because you can fly, and see the whole battle from above."
"Oh, that is certainly smart." Nodded Draco. "Ah, it does feels weird to speak."
"Were you self-ware before, Draco?" I wondered.
"No more than a beast, but now, my beastly thoughts are gathered into proper ones, and I can speak. Yet… I do not really fear death either." He sighed. "How interesting, is this how existence feels?"
"More or less." I said. "Though, not fearing death must be because you're a Familiar, even if you die and your card disappears, your consciousness will be carried over to all your other iterations, so you don't really die."
"Interesting, the more I learn, the more I admire Master." Draco said with a roar.
"For now, gather the Battalion and keep them on standby if any other Monster shows up, Draco." I said.
"Very well." Draco nodded, flying back to the rest of the monsters.
With great surprise, I saw how they all obeyed his words and commands, as they walked behind him and gathered around our group.
"A-Amazing, was that a new Skill?" Elizabeth wondered, walking to my side.
"Oh yeah, I had learned some new Skills through the Skill Tree." I nodded. "It is a pity you guys can't choose your Skills though."
"Hey, we don't have a crazy powerful Grimoire thing…" Elizabeth sighed. "Though, I wonder if you could use it to help us assign Skill Points and all?"
"I have tried but it doesn't seem to work, sadly. Nonetheless, your Stat Points and Skill Points seem to be automatically assigned as you level up and grow stronger. I think it might be based in whatever your strong points are, or what you're trying to achieve." I said. "Anyways, are you curious about what I did?"
"Yeah… Just how did that wyvern spoke?" Elizabeth wondered.
"It is a new Skill, I transformed him into a General. They gain sentience, can speak, and are quite smart. They can lead all other Familiars for me, freeing me the time to command them and everything else." I sighed in relief.
"Oooh! That's amazing." Elizabeth said in surprise. "They're like our normal Spirits, then?"
"To a lesser extent, yes." I nodded. "Though our Spirits are much stronger and better still, Familiars aren't exactly made to compete with Spirits, they're simply a different breed of beings, made to overpower our foes that already have an endless source of forces."
"I guess this is how Hero Allen was able to save the world from the Demons back then…" Elizabeth sighed. "I do wonder, will you save the world too?"
"I… I wouldn't say I can save it now." I sighed. "But I am doing my best to grow stronger, so such a possibility can become a reality. As longa as I have you, and everyone else at my side, I think I can do it." I held her hand gently, as she smiled.
"You're such a gallant man sometimes…" Elizabeth giggled, approaching herself to me and caressing my face, giving me a short yet sweet kiss. "You don't have to carry such a burden, I'll be there for you."
"Sigh… Do you have to get so corny out of nowhere?" I felt slightly embarrassed.
"Hehehe, I like to see you get embarrassed." Elizabeth giggled. "Anyways, everyone's taking a little break, should we have something to eat? I can prepare something."
"That would be nice, I love your cooking." I smiled.
"Geez, yours is much better, but I'll take that compliment!" Elizabeth giggled. "I'll set up something while you check on your new Skills~"
"Alright, thanks." I nodded.

[Familiar Sacrifice: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/20000
As a Master Summoner, your Familiars have not only become strong allies, but also resources that can be used to further enhance your own strength, that of your allies, or other Familiars.
By choosing an unsummoned Familiar Card, you can [Sacrifice] it, and gain a [Buff Card] instead based on the Familiar you've sacrificed. These [Buff Cards] can be used to enhance a target, yourself, an ally, or even another Familiar.
Based in the [Sacrifice], these [Buff Cards] will give temporary enhancements, new skills, or abilities for a short amount of time. It is also possible to [Sacrifice] Cards to regain part of the MP you spent using them, alongside a buff, and also some HP.
These buffs durations, effects and restoration of MP and HP increase by +10% with each Skill Level. The Maximum Amount of [Buff Cards] that can be used on a single target (including yourself), increases based on Skill Level.
Availability:
Level 1: [Buff Card Limit: 2] [Buff Duration: +10%]

An interesting Skill for sure, I can see myself using it when I am in a clutch and need more power. The limit being of only 2 is a bit… not that good, but if the buffs are really good then I can accept that. And it doesn't specify anything over the Fusion Familiars, so perhaps it is possible to create Buff Cards based on these even stronger Familiars that only last a bit.
Well, let's try it out anyways… I quickly took out a Claw Card and sacrificed it.
"[Sacrifice]"
FLAAASH!
The card dissipated into particles of golden light, and then transformed into a golden card. It showed the same appearance of Claw, but it now looked different, showing enhancements.

[Buff Card: Living Demonic Claws (D++ Rank)]
A Special Buff Card created by sacrificing a Living Demonic Claws Familiar. By activating its effects on a target, grants a specific buff based on the Familiar.
Buff: For 10 Minutes, enhances HP and STR by +2000, and grants the [Life Draining Attack] and [Rotting Wounds] Skills.

Oh? Not bad at all!
