1480 Elfina's New Skill: [Enhance Summon]

Everyone was leveling up a bit but not me nor the White Dragon, we were too powerful to level up against a bunch of noob monsters. We are the elite here so we need equally elite-level monsters to slay if we want to level up some more. Ah~ the classic LitRPG progression wall. Anyways, aside from this, Elfina gained two interesting Skills, she had been leveling up like crazy. I suppose her EXP requirements were lower than me even though we were getting to a similar level. Maybe next time I should allow her to leech EXP off me while I slay a Demon Lord or something. Well, she did level up a lot from Wrath, but didn't leeched EXP out of Lube nor Avarice, sadly.

Anyways, this is the new Skill she got (aside from the spear one, which doesn't matter to me):

-----

[Enhance Summon: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/1000

A Skill learned only by those of the [Summoner] Class that have successfully summoned a familiar and have developed a good relationship with them while also defeating many foes together. This Skill grants the ability to enhance a target familiar summoned by the summoner and enhance their stats directly by a small percentage of +10% with each skill level. Each enhancement for a certain stat takes an amount of sizable MP from the conjurer.

Available Enhancement Spells:

Lv1: [Enhance Strength] [Enhance Agility] [Enhance Vitality]

-----

This new Skill just brings a whole new meaning to being a summoner for her. I do remember she had the other skill she got from leveling named [Summon Familiar] which allows her to instantly summon any Familiar she had summoned to her side, which was the way she brought me to the building of that hot mommy elf in an instant. The power of the Summoners is vast, and she had learned a brand-new Skill naturally and without having to use Skill Points, this also happens. People can either naturally learn a Skill (through leveling and constant practice) or by unlocking it right away using Skill Points. Sometimes it is more worth it to get a skill right away than to waste time training for it.

But it seems that everyone has a different rate of Skill Points per level, I get 10 per Level alongside Stat Points, but other people get less of them per level. I don't know how this is calculated, but I think it might be related to their Soul size or something? Maybe how much they're worth, or perhaps their sheer strength? Elfina has few Skill Points, she said they were not enough to buy a single skill, as all the Summoner Class Skills she had available in her Skill Library cost over 100 Skill Points, and currently she had around 27? She earns roughly like one point per level, which is very underwhelming! I expected more from my Summoner whom I am tied to.

Nonetheless, she surprised me with this brand-new Skill, it seems that it can directly enhance a desired stat by a certain percentage, and that percentage increases alongside the enhancement options. Also, multiple stats can be enhanced at the same time but each stat enhancement consumes MP separately. As of now, she can enhance Strength, Agility, or Vitality, all of them are useful Stats for physical combat, strength for physical damage, agility for speed and evasion, and vitality for more HP and physical defense and stamina. Oh man, that made me remember the Stamina Stat, I miss it! It was like a second MP for certain things (non-magical skills).

"I-I can now enhance one of your stats…" Said Elfina, checking her own Soul Book and the new Skill she acquired. "It says that I can enhance it by +10% with each level! Isn't that nice, Kireina? I can be more useful now on my own!"

"Yeah, you're now a buff bot." I said with a nod, rolling around with my gigantic, spike-covered body.

"B-Buff bot?" She asked while tilting her head in confusion over a term she had never heard of.

"A buff mule maybe? It is a useless character that only buffs the main character with special magic that enhances stats or HP and MP regeneration, you're that now!" I laughed.

"Eeeeh?! Rude much?! I am not useless!" Elfina cried like a baby, seriously this girl needs some diapers, she's like a baby due to how much she cries. Agh, I miss my children.

"Kireina-sama, please refrain from insulting my lady…" Sighed Fiere, she was more like asking me nicely than actually being authoritarian in front of me. Well yeah, sorry.

"Yeah sorry, I didn't wanted to be rude, I was just joking. Anyways, wanna try it out or are you out of MP? Did we pack enough MP Potions?" I wondered, looking into my Inventory, there were the useless Demon Lord Items, the Fragments of the Primordial World and… there!

------

[High Quality Mana Potion (Unique-Rank)] x27

------

We had packed potions from before. We wanted more but they said that these 30 we were given was more than enough for a quick trip into the Dark Labyrinth, the army is preparing the rest of the potions for the battle against the humans, so we couldn't really negotiate. I could probably make potions myself if I relearn Alchemy somehow, but I wasn't in the mood nor I cared enough for it.

My MP regenerates quite quickly if I use MP Drain, it is more Elfina the problem, she got a tiny amount of MP and it regenerates super slow, so she needs a lot of MP Potions. I wanted her to pack a lot so she can practice her skills over and over again to get skill proficiency and level them up. I quickly gave Elfina a High Quality Mana Potion and her MP quickly went all the way back to full. She nodded and then looked into her Soul Book again.

"Enhance Summon: Strength, Agility, Vitality!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Suddenly, I was covered in bright light, as my stats began to raise by +10%!

And just in time, as I noticed a group of strange critters crawling our way from downstairs! Wow, they had some bizarre appearances, like… as if they were being parasitized by giant and disgusting bugs over their heads.

Hold on, something's odd here.
