Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline

Chapter 46 46 Rank: [{( Knight )}]

[OP: ]

They just had their first stat awakening and were now stronger than before.

"Haaaa..."

A stat awakening was more than just an addition to their main strength or an increase in the quality of one's stats. They could now have ten more normal skills until their next stat awakening at level 200.

There were restrictions on how many skills one could have in this world but it didn't apply to magic, weapon techniques, innate skills, and characteristic abilities.

It was a new realm of power for them in this real world and their strength was particularly far better than before.

Even some of their skills had gotten better, like…

"Alright, shoot." Lucy was standing firmly while there was a red translucent magic barrier-like sheet before him.

It was the innate skill that protected them from the mental attacks of those spectators and strong skills all this time but now it could also be materialized into a proper defensive skill.

He was testing this improvement right now as he stood in an already devastated land and El on the other side with almost a dozen magic circles behind her.

The spells she was using were made of other smaller magic circles but these small circles as well as the entire resulting spell were too complex for something that was categorized as magic in this world.

From a normal perspective, magic had many limits, and continues use of magic was considered too difficult as it strained the mind.

People called it the privilege of geniuses because to cast a magic spell, one not only has to have proper quality and quantity of Mana but also a sharp enough mind to process all the calculations needed to materialize that spell.

They preferred skills or converting their magic into skills, and mastering those particular skills because of the skill limits.

That was how people usually used 'magic'. Which obviously wasn't something El or even some rare others like El considered to be true magic.

Her understanding of magic was unique and she had already achieved an absurdly high mastery of it, even created her own version of magic and earned the [Aspect of magic] innate skill.

The way she used magic was one of a kind, and the spells she created were also obviously amazing~.

They were gorgeous and from just one glance, one could tell they were powerful.

And all of them were of different colors and shades so it was easy to tell they all were naturally of a unique attribute.

Eva was standing at the very back with a familiar feeling of helplessness as she watched them play with their new strength and see how the forest was getting destroyed with each thing they did.

She had watched them destroy entire parts of this forest for fun, to kill strong monsters, or to settle some petty argument however, this time, the destruction seemed more catastrophic than any of the past messes they had created.

Anyway, she was familiar with these young but adult, strong, and beautiful duo and they were good kids in her eyes even with all their strangeness.

"Yei~! Here they come!" El shouted after Lucy was ready, and with a simple motion of her finger, she launched the spells.

-Oooooooooooooong!

Strong, sharp winds; spears of fire; sharp rain of rocks; a tornado of deadly water; arrows of light; swords of darkness; bolts of lightning; cold blizzard; chilly ice weapons; wild winds carrying fine sand; daggers of wood; and such myriad colorful spells shot towards him.

The spells were strong, far stronger than any of her previous attacks but Lucy just stood there with unblinking eyes.

He believed in not the red shield before him but the caster of those powerful spells.

She was an amazing mage and he believed she will be able to cancel the spells at her will if she wanted.

He trusted her unconditionally. But he didn't need her help this time.

-Swiiiiiiish—boooooooom!

The spells collided with the red barrier but the thin shielding wall didn't break even as the area behind him and this wall was pulverized.

He stood there, didn't blink, and just observed the effects of the shield with the same smile as his sister on the other side.

She was amazed by the new ability of his already super amazing skill.

It was able to perfectly block the attack that not even [Level-4] defensive skills of [Grade-3] might be able to.

It was already an awesome skill that can block higher beings even in a dungeon but now, it was their new emergency defense line.

They had yet to see the full power of this skill but still, it was now better than before.

It sure was quite something but the more amazing thing was the crown skill that now passively gave them higher energy utilization, control, and stamina recovery rate.

That zero skill was their most broken skill in the true meaning and something they had absolutely no problem with, but… the skill that was able to block those spells that took even her a half hour of work to prepare wasn't actually perfect when used frequently.

[ "How much pain?" ]

They were connected and one could feel what the other one was feeling. She knew the use of that skill was painful, too painful from a normal human point of view.

The burden it put on his mind when the spells collided with the barrier was so intense that even she could feel the high intensity.

She could tell it was painful just from that much but the one who felt it actually was pretty calm.

[ "I would say five and a quarter on the intensity scale. It only affects the mind and not the body so the pain becomes even less for me." ]

He looked at her with a sorry expression as the mental pain which was irritating for her was actually nothing more than a needle wound pain for him.

Even though their beings were connected, their minds were different.

He had already reached the [Abnormal] stage for his mental body while she was still a bit away from that. But the gap wasn't too big so she knew she will be able to achieve it by the following few months.

His little pain was annoying pain for her and this annoying pain was enough to kill a healthy normal person.

Even Eva wouldn't want to face such mental pain. It was just too much.

But the two were fine and settled on using it only in emergency situations and this last test concluded the evaluation of their increased strengths.

They were done with small things so he walked toward her and Eva walked forward with a little sigh and met the two of them.

They were a nice small family that would become quite big in the future but for now, they knew it was time to call another member of their family.

[ "Command: call merchant. ID: Raz~!" ]

It didn't even take a moment and a light started materializing before the three of them. It seemed like he was waiting for this call from El and was ready to come running as soon as he received it.

<Nyahahaha! Evening people~! The great Azrial has arrived!>

He was usual as always, their chubby little kitten. But today this kitten of theirs was wearing a cone-shaped magician hat and had a small silver black magic wand in his hand.

<How are my amazing contractor-...?>

He stopped suddenly and looked at the three of them with eye skill and was suddenly surprised.

<Wow! You did it! You achieved the first stat awakening, nya~!>

He flew towards El and hugged her first.

She was a grown lady now so this pervert kitten loved her even more. Yes, for that very reason.

They had become a family in the last few years and the kitten who was infamous in the whole worldline for operating all sorts of illegal things was now far more than just an exclusive dimensional merchant to the two of them.

He was a family member, an adorable one at that.

<Nya~! Is it finally time?>

El held him in her arm, embracing the kitten with her body, kissing his cute forehead, and caressing him just the way he loved.

"Yeah. It's time Raz. Upgrade our status."

There was a warm smile on Lucy's annoyed face as he mentioned that and the little cat as well as the one holding him cheered joyfully.

<Nyahahaha! My pretty contractors are finally entering the world of worldline in true meaning, nya~.>

He clapped with his small paws and started floating before them.

There were ranks in the worldline system that showed a person's standing in the whole of a worldline.

It was different from the local ranks that they could gain by local means. They were system ranks and were related to the entire Worldline.

So, when we talk about the system rankings, it naturally overpowers the regional rankings of the society, nation, or even the continent.

These system ranks were also the rankings that gods had and one system ranks were naturally proportional to their standing in the upper realms.

These ranks were unique and contained status. So those with higher status were the only legitimate special ones in the world's eyes.

It was arguably the most important thing they needed to achieve the things that they ultimately wanted and this was the start of that power journey.

The ranks of the worldline were simple like the aristocratic rankings: Knight, Lord, Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquis, Duke, Archduke, Prince/Princess, Crown Prince/princess, Monarch, and a rank few know about, Overlord.

A 'human' could only ever have the rank of a knight or lord in the entire Worldline as above them, the realm of transcendent beings and gods or demon nobles or angels start.

There were a few unique requirements to have the status of a Lord and above in the worldline but as for the status of a Knight, one could simply purchase it as long as they had 500k Oz, have achieved their first stat awakening, and have an appropriate dimensional merchant.

The need for a proper merchant was to serve as a link between the one purchasing the ranks and the worldline. The 'link' determined the quality of their status, after all.

And, they had everything they needed now, so… it was time.

"Okay then~!" El shouted with a cheerful smile, cleared her throat, and hugged her two little cuties.

[ "Command: Request status upgrade. Target IDs: Lucifer & Auriel. Link merchant ID: Azrial." ]
