_____________
His attributes had been quite stagnant since he had been only working on runes for the month. But with these elixirs in hand, he might just receive his Boon of Spirit.
At the attainment of 100 points in Spirit, he would get to choose a type of boon to strengthen himself. The boon for the Physique had been quite catastrophic considering he had to complete the transformation while in combat. So for the boon of spirit, Warden wanted to complete indoor, though he still wasn\'t sure if there would be any interference.
For most people, the experience lasts only a few minutes to a couple of hours and they receive the boon. However, Warden wasn\'t like most people. He wasn\'t sure if Void Prison Realm would overwrite the system protocol again to give another benefit. Of course, all those benefits came hand in hand with danger. . .
On attaining his Void Vanquishing Physique, his Void Space had destabilised. He didn\'t know how to fix it, nor was he sure if the next boon would destabilise it further or not. There were still loads of corpses, cores and other expensive stuff in his subspace—perhaps the new boon would feed them all into his spirit. . .
if that happens Warden could only apologise to Jason again, not that he thought that would happen again.
Well, there was only one way to find out.
Warden drank the Inferior Mind Elixir first, as a wild swirl of energy surged through his body. Blood rushed to his mind as an old familiar chilliness spread at the back of his mind. . .
[+1 Spirit.]
"What the fuck?" Warden cursed aloud. He didn\'t think he had drunk the wrong elixir, nor did the sales attendant deliver the wrong item. It was obviously his Mind attribute and whatever was wrong with it was fucking with the benefit of the elixir.
After he drank the next Mind elixir, he was certain of it.
[+1 Spirit.]
[+0.2 Mind.]
Is it somehow possible to convert the essence of one attribute to another? He wondered, letting out a deep exhale.
Drinking four more Inferior Mind Elixir brought him about 3 more points in Spirit and a grand total of 0.3 points in Mind.
"Well, it\'s not a complete waste," Warden said. He brought out the green vial now. There were six of them. With his Spirit already standing at over 97 points, there was no uncertainty that he wouldn\'t get to the mark.
[+1.7 Spirit.]
Warden felt goosebumps as the number reached 99. He opened the cork of another vial and poured it into his mouth.
[+1.5 Spirit.]
A heart-crushing fire surged within him, causing him to stand straighter. He let out a gurgle, waiting for more notifications to come up.
[Congratulations! Your spirit has reached the First threshold of 100 points.]
[Please choose one of the three options as your Boon of Spirit: Twin Soul | Void Heart —]
[Interference Detected!]
[Overwriting General system protocol. . .]
[Congratulations! You have been given a new option to choose your Boon of Spirit.]
[Boon of Spirit option: Neophyte Spirit Domain]
"What in the actual fuck?!" Although Warden was prepared for another surprise, he wasn\'t ready for that. With this interference, the other two options Twin Soul and Void Heart were gone.
Although it was too hard to guess what the real benefit of these boons would be, both the option Twin Soul and Void Heart sounded a lot better than this Neophyte Spirit Domain. But obviously, that wasn\'t the truth. Probably.
The next notification evidenced that exactly.
[The Spirit in your soul has detected insufficient soul energy to transform your spirit into a Neophyte Spirit Domain. Please provide a high source of soul energy to receive your boon.]
[Postponing the Boon of Spirit. . .]
"Um, for how long is the postponing will be in effect?" Warden asked.
Unfortunately, only a silence answered him. Now, he wasn\'t even aware of what kind of source he needed to look for. The system mentioned a high source of soul energy. . .
Well, that didn\'t sound expensive at all, Warden thought sarcastically. "I need to talk to June."
While Agnes did seem knowledgeable in various topics, June was far more studious. Not to mention, he wasn\'t prepared to disclose all these secrets to Agnes.
Regardless, this Neophyte Spirit Domain was possibly a domain ability. But only the Transcendental rank powerhouse had domain ability... Well, that was why it was Neophyte.
Exhaling, he calmed the adrenaline rushing through his system. With little excitement, he drank the rest of the elixir without noting how much benefit each of them was bringing him.
Ultimately, his Spirit attribute stood at 104.7 points.
Well, this was some boost to his abilities, yet there was so much left to do.
Warden stretched and surged his energy for a few minutes to get used to the boost. He was ready to move on to his work, when Steward John presented himself.
"Before you complain about my work, it was my monthly holiday yesterday, so obviously, I\'m not done with repairing."
While Warden\'s efficiency remained at the top, he had dropped his productivity by a third, putting his time on other things like tending the withered garden, or simply fooling around with mundane matters. Hell, he even sparred with Agnes in the morning when she was in the main camp.
Obviously, the steward wasn\'t happy with it.
"Lady Jessica is calling you," John said, shooting a disapproving look. Finding Warden not moving, he added, "Now!"
