Chapter 528 The Crescent Frozen Tear
[Crescent Frozen Tear (Mythic Grade)]
A beautiful tear-shaped blue jewel said to be the crystallization of the tear of the Holy Spirit of Ice. It contains large quantities of Ice Attribute Mana and Spirit Essence. It can be directly absorbed over time to increase maximum MP and Ice Attribute Affinity. Once completely consumed, Ice Attribute Affinity and MP can increase greatly. New Skills might emerge once it begins to be absorbed.
It was as beautiful tear-shaped blue crystal in m hand. The description said it was the crystallization of the actual tear of the Holy Spirit of Ice… I acquired this as an "apology" for Elfriedden\'s attitude against me by the Holy Spirit of Ice, which seems to have given him her Divine Protection, interestingly enough. For now, it would be good if I absorb it with the aid of Eleanora.
As long as there are more people helping me channel Mana into this crystal, the process will be faster. I can also ask help to Saphira and Hendrick. At the end, all three of them will help, I suppose.
"Hendrick, Saphira, come help me with this. Eleanora too. Just float around me and channel Mana into the crystal." I said, the three spirits quickly did as I told them.
"But isn\'t this your own mana at the end?" Eleanora wondered.
"Yeah?" Saphira asked.
"Indeed. However, as you still count as a "source", the process still becomes faster, although more exhausting to me as I use more Mana. But I\'ve already drank a Magic Juice produced by Apul, so my MP recovery speed has been ramped up by x3. Plus all the gear I have, which also boosts my maximum MP." I said confidently. "Don\'t worry about me."
FLAAASH!
Like that, we spent only about five minutes doing this until I couldn\'t do it anymore, as if an invisible wall was stopping me from even continuing further, I needed to rest.
However, the amount of blue-colored icy mana energy that reached my body was quickly assimilated into my physique, psyche, and magic circle. Although it mostly showed itself through bonus MP.
[You have absorbed a part of the power of the [Crescent Frozen Tear (Mythic Grade)]
[Your Maximum MP has increased by +55]
[Your Ice Attribute Affinity has increased a bit.]
[You gained Ice Attribute Runes inside your Magic Circle.]
[You gained Skill Proficiency for certain Skills. Gain more Skill Proficiency to learn them.]
It seems this item even comes with a learnable skill, interesting. For now, I appreciate the maximum MP, that\'ll do good in the long run. Although now I feel completely exhausted.
"Phew, that was a bit exhausting, wasn\'t it?" Eleanora asked.
"Yeah… I want to take a nappy…" Saphira yawned.
"Hm, I am indeed rather exhausted." Hendrick analyzed. "This item, however, is fascinating nonetheless! How wonderful! I have never seen such a thing before! The crystalized icy tear of a goddess of ice?!"
"Something like that." I told him.
"A-And these gods just handle you stuff like this? So easily?!" Hendrick asked.
"They\'re doing an investment. Let\'s call it that. After all they want me to kill all demons and slay Lucifer, that\'s also what I wanted to do anyways, so we are cooperating. They\'re investing on my growth whenever I do something amazing that reaffirms their confidence over the decision they made." I said while analyzing the situation. "More or less, we\'re running late, let\'s go."
Ate a Fruit of Life, which I had stored by the hundreds inside of my Inventory, and my HP was restored a little, even though I never lost it. But it was still fairly good to restore exhaustion in the body, even if by a small amount each time.
When I was back at the first floor, I had already eaten a third fruit, my exhaustion being almost gone at this point. I found everyone there waiting for me, including Evelyn.
"I am going as well to supervise you all. And also to protect you if anything happens." Evelyn said with a smile. "Also I would like to go see lady Cattalina…"
"Huh, sure…" Erika sighed. She didn\'t really like Evelyn. "Anyways, let\'s get going, Blake!"
"Alright."
We quickly decided to get going. Erika said her mother wanted to meet her in a small cafeteria and drink some coffee with her, while enjoying some sweets. The cafeteria in question was named "Brown Sugar" and was just a few blocks from our residential area.
As we walked outside, we suddenly stumbled upon a surprise. The group of "rivals" we saw earlier was right in front of us, occupying our neighboring house to the left. They were all just as surprised when they saw us.
Clarice, Clark, Eliana, and Patricia noticed us, alongside their four other party members and Umbra leading them inside the house.
"Eh? D-Don\'t tell me you guys are going to live right next to us?!" Clarice angrily said, her drill-shaped blonde hair waving around at the rhythm of her anger.
"Hm, I hope we get along." The stoic Clark said.
"Eeehh… Yeah, I guess." Eliana shrugged, the gloomy-looking girl with long, green hair resembling seaweed didn\'t seem to care much.
"Come on! How can you two be so lax about it?" Asked Clarice angrily.
"Clarice, be more mindful with your words." Patricia said. "You may be a noble, but that doesn\'t give you the right to act like you own the place. You\'re really pissing me off. I am also paying for this place." The tall and muscular Patricia seemed to dislike Clarice\'s attitude.
"Hmph! I am merely saying what\'s on my mind. Patricia how can you not be angered against them?" Clarice said, crossing her arms.
"I can tell you really wanted to be part of their Party." Sighed Patricia, walking inside the house and completely ignoring us.
"T-That\'s not right! Hey, where are you guys going?! Are you not saying anything at all? Hey!"
Clarice ended walking inside the house out of embarrassment, hurriedly closing the door.
