BXBX NOVEL Chapter 450 Preparing For The Future
She tried to muster words to speak or something. But it was rather obvious she was having difficulties. It felt like she was feeling strange. From moving to a doll-like body to one made of flesh bones, and blood pumping through her body, it was indeed a different feeling altogether, a feeling she probably didn\'t even remembered when she was a baby before dying from the curse.
"Ahhh… Hahhh… This… Ugh… Ugehh…"
And Erika ended throwing out right after being reborn. What came out was just water though. It looked like her stomach was filled with the same juice that the fruit she was being maintained in. The feeling of having a stomach must have impacted her though.
And within the Grimoire, new messages appeared.
[You earned 150000 EXP]
[Alchemy Proficiency has increased greatly]
[You acquired the [Alchemist: Lv1] Title Skill]
----
[Alchemist: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/10000
A Title bestowed upon seasoned Alchemists that have managed to craft several items through their lives and might had also created something truly unique, a powerful new item never seen, or a legendary grade creation. Increases the Quality of all Items Created by +50% and their Effects are doubled. Additionally, with each Skill Level, the power of all Alchemy-related Skills is enhanced by +20%.
I even gained a new Title Skill, something I really did not expect to get now. It is rather surprising indeed, but at the end, it is a welcome surprise. I suppose Erika\'s creation still counted as "making something with alchemy" and due to her incredible rarity and level of quality, she must have fulfilled the conditions required.
"Erika!"
Erika\'s father ran towards her, quickly wrapping her body with clothes.
"Y-You\'re… you\'re here? Now?" He asked in disbelief. "A-Are you okay?"
"Papa…" Erika looked at her father while feeling dizzy. "Ugh, I am so dizzy…"
"It is a success; you\'ve been really reborn… But more importantly, can you guys help me bring her upstairs?" Erika\'s father asked us.
Eric and Elizabeth were too shocked to even respond in time, feeling taken aback by Erika\'s rebirth. It was something truly mystical. Well, the whole process was intense as well, and we even got to talk with the Dryad herself.
"I\'ll bring her upstairs."
I quickly held Erika with my arms and rushed upstairs with ease, Erika\'s father and Eric and Elizabeth followed me from behind. I quickly placed Erika over her bed, as she quickly looked back at me with her two eyes.
"Blake… Thank you." She said with a sleepy smile, before falling asleep.
The whole creation of her body must have brought her an incredible amount of exhaustion. Or perhaps she needs to sleep to let her Soul adjust properly to her body. By merely glancing at her, I can notice several new things. Her Spirit Orb seems to not have been damaged, in fact, it was enchanted with new element she didn\'t had before.
Her body was like that of a Dryad. They were made of flesh, had bones and even blood, but such components were also live the internal bodies of plants. In a way her blood was like sap, her flesh was like the flesh of plants, her bones were reinforced Yggdrasil Wood, and even her skin and everything else was something like that.
However, due to having used her own bones into the process, she is not 100% a Dryad, but perhaps Half-Dryad and Half-Human, a rather good combination. The more interesting part was her eyes, both became something similar to Spirit Orbs, but that cannot properly hold Spirits themselves, but can hold Spiritual Essence, each eye holds a different type of elemental Spiritual Essence. The golden eye has fire and draconic essence, the green one holds life and nature essence.
"Zzzz…"
As she slept soundly, we covered her in blankets and left her resting. We were done here, but we had to clean the mess downstairs. The big tree was quickly chopped down into pieces. Its wood and even the fruit where Erika came from where all high-quality materials, so I stored them all inside my shadows, which were now a better storage than the bags I had made.
The wood of this small tree was named [Dryad\'s Wood] while the fruit was named [Dryad\'s Blessing]. I had made sure this wasn\'t something like Erika\'s tree or something, but it seems she didn\'t inherited the ability of Dryads of connecting their life to a tree or something, and this tree was now completely separated from her. It was an annoyance so we had to cut it down to get it outside the house.
With that done, I didn\'t wanted to slack and wait for Erika to wake up without doing anything. I quickly moved to my next plans, beginning to make new weapons. I made Eric a new bow and over a hundred arrows through Alchemy and using both Dryad Wood\'s and Lesser Yggdrasil\'s Wood. I also made him a new staff for him, looking exactly the same as the one before, but with a few new adjustments.
And after I was done with that, I made another for Elizabeth too, as she wanted one as well. This one was shaped differently so it could be used more efficiently for Priests. Staffs used by Priests and Mages vary greatly. Mages use larger staffs with big ends which allow them to gather mana in the tip to unleash devastating offensive magic.
Priests use long and thin staffs, often with addition to metallic materials to harbor the light which the magic metals conduct from their magic. The ends of priest staffs are usually adorned by a big magic conducting jewel, which helps spreading magic around them, which is specially useful for healing magic and support magic, their specialty.
After two hours and a half of hard work, all their commissions were done and both kids were as happy as they could be.
"Thank you so much Blake…!"
"Yeah… This staff is just amazing!"
"I\'m glad you like them; you\'re going to be using them very soon. For the next years we\'ll be hunting monsters not only around the forest, but the lowlands."
