Chapter 522 - Rank 3 Abyssal Prime 1

Author's Note: I've changed how I handle these things. Instead of showing it then describing the changes one by one, I've opted to use a simple indicator to show what has changed. The only commentary was for new things, which helped me cut down about 6k plus words extra.

Draco scratched his cheek as he watched her leave. He knew that Sublime was going to be in for trouble, but he dared not interfere on her behalf. He could only pray that his Big Sis would survive this calamity and become stronger.

Oh, so apart from his various skills, it seems his Soul Bond with Roma and his Ultima Sunt bloodline had yielded some new skills. Roma had given him 3 new active skills while the Ultima Sunt, as usual, gave one active and one passive.

Draco was left speechless. Alright, so Ranking Up was always quite a journey. With these new skills and powers, he no longer had the gall to complain about his 1% exp gain rate.

After all, without even adding the changes in his items after Ranking Up or his Subjective Magic, just these skills alone were able to make the 1% gain rate useless, especially the new one, Duplicate.

He shuddered when he realized this was an Ultima Sunt racial skill, so any Rank 3 or above Ultima Sunt could do this. Just imagine if that King fellow had this power! What at all would Draco have been able to do to him then?

Draco was extremely thankful for the upset back then, when he had unlocked his bloodline, allowing him to rewrite the storyline of the Flora and Fauna Unique Quest. No wonder he would have needed the help of four Rank 7 entities to win the final battle, namely Vadoma, the Elf God, Flora, and Lokthar.

He also noticed that the new Mystic Servant skills were a bit lackl.u.s.ter. No wonder during her Rank Up, Roma had sacrificed them to feed her other skills and power them up.

Mystic Conversion was outright useless for him since he could even fart with prana, whereas the two soul skills were actually super good. One could help him drag a higher Ranked enemy down to his level for 10 minutes and the other could prevent Roma-like entities from f.u.c.k.i.n.g around with his soul.

Combine, the Ultima Sunt passive was also great. He could now mix the various aspects and source origins he acquired through either Subsume or Evolution to form something new and unique.

He could even decide to make it temporary or permanent, so it wasn't as if experimenting would be wrong. Finally, Draco was given a reason to start using his Evolution passive.

After all, the reason he had refrained from doing so all this time was because there weren't many traits and characteristics that he didn't already have a better version of with his bloodline, items, and skills.

Speaking of that, Draco checked up on his items next.

This Seal was infused with Origin Energy manifesting traits far stronger than what it was intended for.

Draco was pleased with how most of his items had become stronger. The increments were small, which was fine since Ranking Up provided small benefits comparing to increasing the Rank of the item itself.

Most changes didn't need to be elaborated on as they weren't anything new, only marginal upgrades. However, Draco was his army spawning skills. With lower cooldowns and longer active times, there was no reason to not let Arthur and co come over to chill.

After all, he would be dying after his final battle. Even if Draco explained how this would happen in detail and gave Arthur a way to avoid his fate, even if Arthur himself gained catharsis and decided to let everything go, once he returned to his world he would die on the Isle of Avalon after losing the battle.

His fate was fixed. Nothing, not even Origin Gods could change that otherwise his entire alternate world would crumble and cease to exist.

Likely, the only thing that could affect something like that would have to be at the Eternal Rank and have the ability to cross space and time.
