Scarlet
The others after their initial surprise to learning that I was the one who cleared the Fracture, and Belles initial scolding of my being reckless before she realized that I wasnt quickly move on to bringing the results of our shopping spree back to the limo. And during this process, I cant help but notice that Arthur was still holding the bags when I got back.
Guess he held onto them in the bunker he hid in while the others fought.
And now hes carrying them again.
I would feel pity for him, buuuut he was enjoying my suffering earlier. So he absolutely deserves to be the carrier boy.
My thoughts come to a halt when I feel a warm sensation flow through my body, followed by a flood of System messages echoing in my head from the battles I just went through, but without any of the ones that gave me little to no EXP. Despite me not summoning them.
Then a new message appears after the others.

[You have devoured the core of a Spatial Fragment and therefore meet the first of the two qualifications for breaking through to Class II: The absorption of a Class I Catalyst. To break through to Class II, the following requirements must be met: Gain the EXP needed to reach level 101.]
I stop walking as I wince from the massive amount of information that was just kind of dumped into my mind instead of the System saying it in my head this time. Likely due to it being too much information for the System to spend who knows how long stating. So it just dumped it in my head, which Id heard it could do but never experienced before.
The others stop after a few seconds, noticing my own stop, only to start talking with each other, likely understanding what Im doing.
Wait a second. How are there so many Class V Guardians in the world if there have only been several dozen Class IV Fractures since the start of the Demonic Assaults?
I have the last message replay through my head for a second before finding my answer.
It says a Class I Catalyst. It doesnt say a Spatial Fragment specifically.
And I think Tar mentioned it was one of the possible things you could use, right?
Tar responds after a few seconds, making me wonder if hes doing something right now, Thats right.
Cool.
Outside of the achievements though, I only got a single Skill Point from every last one of those kills thats depressing.
I did get forty-one from the achievements though. And adding that to the ten I had left over from the achievement I got in the last month makes fifty-one Skill Points to spend.
But what to spend them on I already brought blood boil to level ten with the other SP I got from the achievement from killing over a thousand demons total, but what should I get next?
I open my status and allocate my free points first before staring at my skills list. Then, after much deliberation, I end up leveling Blood Thirst once, Blood Shadow once, Blood Manifestation twice, and Blood Armor once to use up all of the Skill Points without a single one to spare.
That should do it.

I nod my head in satisfaction.
It wouldve been nice if I leveled up blood diffusion a bit more, but the problem is that that skill needs me to get hit and defend against the hit using the skill. Which I havent exactly been able to train.
Maybe I should ask Allen or Sylver to help me with it? Same with blood regeneration too, now that I think about it.
I am kind of curious how good blood regeneration will be when it hits level ten, to be honest.
It is one of the strongest skills a blood lycan can have, Tar answers, sounding like his mind is only half here.
What are you up to?
There are some procedures a fae has to go through after their contracted partner gets their catalyst, Tar answers right away this time, nothing you need to worry about. Just paperwork for my promotion in the current line of ascension.
I stare straight ahead for a few seconds before muttering, What? bringing the others attention back to me.
Remember that my place in the line of ascension to the throne and my current authority is dependent on your level and Class? Tar asks before continuing without my answer. Well, were required to submit a document to the King whenever our contracted partner gets a catalyst for ascension.
Oh. Interesting.
I wave to the others as I catch up with them, all of us continuing our way back to the limo again.
Now then. What were you talking about earlier in regard to the demon feeling nostalgic about my scent?
