Chương 123: Chapter 107. Status Check

While Anna was cooking breakfast, the 10 new hires were sitting awkwardly in the living room. I think this is the first time I've even been happy that this house has an abundance of furniture." So, Rodrick, did Edmon tell you about the Appraisal Orb last night?"" Yes, I went over to our storage facility to grab it. Here you are. I'll also show you to the building, so you know where to look if you ever need something like an Appraisal Orb immediately."

Rodrick removed an Orb from a box he had handed to him from one of the new hires." I assume you're going to use it for yourself, Lord Drake?"" Yes, I wanted to check on a few things. If you all don't mind, I'll take a look right now." Everyone seemed to be fine with me using the orb. I was handed the orb, and I began to pour mana into it. Before long, a familiar screen was in front of me.

I guess the first thing I should do is see what High Paladin has to say.

High Paladin A Paladin who has risen above his peers! A Class reached by so few, that their names would be etched in history simply from achieving this Class! If not that, than at the very least for the fact they valued their work for the Gods above all else! Truly proving you deserved the Favor of the Gods! The High Paladin was a Class given to the mortals during the turbulence of the battles during the War of the Gods.

Receiving defeat after defeat, God's Soldiers started to abandon their Faith in the face of great malevolence. One man who had grown wearier and wearier from defeat after defeat, screamed to the heavens asking " WHY!?" It is said that the pain and grief in his voice had reached the ears of the most Benevolent during a fierce battle. When the battle had ended, the God in question appeared before the man." Why have you left us so weak? So vulnerable to ^%&$#*#."

The man asked, sorrow filled his voice as he remembered his Comrades of the Faith being cut down from the dark one by one. What the God said is not known, but the conversation enlightened not only the man, but the Gods themselves. From that Enlightenment, the High Paladin Class was born! With it came offensive abilities rarely seen before then. A Boon of great importance to the War that was being fought and would be fought from that point on. Now that power is yours.

Use it well and prove your worthy of the Favor granted to you, Dear User!

I feel like this story has a lot more parts to it than what I'm seeing from this System... Who or what is censored out? It's useless to ask the Status Screen System. Regardless, it seems that the High Paladin Class is where a lot of the more offensive abilities of the Paladins are locked in. I guess I should start with viewing the Titles first, since it's next going down the Status Screen. I clicked on the number 7 to look at the 5 new Titles I was given.

(Playboy) (Magical Experimenter) (Betrayer of Humanity) (Loyal Husband) (Noble) (Healer of Demons) (Sex Maniac) I felt a headache forming from reading that last Title. Where do I even begin? I guess I should check out the Blessing of the Nature Goddess. since that was probably the first new Skill I got since the last time I checked my Status.

Blessing of the Nature Goddess A Blessing given by the Nature Goddess. Gods rarely give their Blessings to mortals. To receive one is to win a lottery of sorts. A God has domain over many things. Blessings can carry many different effects. Effect. Fertility Rate Up (500%) Natural Healing Ability Rate Up (300%) What can I say? The fact that it's here, tells me that I need to take extra precautions during the night. It's a good thing I've been doing that anyways.

I won't go into too much detail, but there's a reason Barrier is maxed out now. Sarah and Anna always look displeased when I cast it on myself, but I can't help it. Once I've been able to stabilize Paradise with an economy, Food and Roads, then I can think about starting a Family.

I get that they have complete faith that I'll get it done, but having to worry about pregnant Wives while doing it, would be too stressful for me. Regardless, let's look at more new Skills. I guess I should start at the Job Skills.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Angel Magic If the Gods gave Holy Magic to allow Paladin's to defend themselves, then they gave Angel Magic to attack those aggressors with gusto! While Holy Magic does have Offensive Spells, they can't compare to the unmatched firepower of Angel Magic. You should think of Holy Magic as the Magical Shield of the Paladin, Angel Magic is the Magical Sword of the Paladin.

Crush your foes and continue to prove your God was Wise for bestowing you with their Favor, Dear User!

I see, I guess that explains the new Spells I have now. Let's check the next Job Skill.

Angel's Swordsmanship A High Paladin is given access to this brand of Swordsmanship upon the acquisition of the Class from the Evolution. An Evolved form of Swordsmanship. A dance of grace and death all in one! Unlike other forms of Swordsmanship, the Angel School is special among mortals. Instead of learning through practice, the Angel Swordsmanship will naturally change one's instincts until it replaces the previous style the High Paladin had used.

Once the change has been completed, Angel Swordsmanship will become the natural style of the Paladin in question. This Swordsmanship is completely compatible with Holy Swordsmanship and can use its abilities. The reason for this special way of learning it lies in the origin of the High Paladin Job. When the first High Paladin was chosen, his body was tattered from battle.

In order to not be swallowed whole by the forces of *&^%$#%%^, the God who Favored him, made it so he could fight with his sword guiding his way through adversity. And now you, Dear User! Another High Paladin, can further Evolve this style once it fully emerges from within! For the Gods are many and unique! And so to shall their Warriors be!

This explanation is a bit confusing. From what I can gather, it seems that this Skill will change my instincts for how I swing my sword. I think? I'll have to test it out during my sparring sessions. From what it sounds like, after it finishes fully transforming my instincts, I can start to find my own original style by combining different aspects of the Angel, Holy and Demon Swordsmanship Schools that I learned so far. Somewhat of an interesting ability, I guess?

But the amount of work will be staggering when I start combining different things together. Since the Gods and the Paladins won whatever war the explanation keeps bringing up, I guess it's a powerful style of fighting regardless. Moving on, I took a look at Holy Flame.

Holy Flame Holy Magic A Flame of the Gods. Used to burn evil to ash. Can also be used as a light source or to start a fire while camping if one believes in it enough, Dear User!

And from all of that stuff from the Job Skills to something like this. I clicked on Holy Magic since I never saw that before in a Skill Description. A new window popped up.

As the User now has access to multiple Spell Systems, the System automatically categorizes all Spells and Skills to which ever Job Skill they are learned from.

I see. Makes sense. While reading this, I thought I might as well check on Holy Bolt and Holy Arrow and I found something interesting. Both Spells had a new box attached to them. Both had Size Manipulation and Spinning as options to them. Holy Arrow also had a count that was at 6. That was the max number of arrows I could summon if I didn't specifically want to create a lower number of arrows. it was interesting to see. I continued down the list and picked Angel's Spear.

Angel's Spear Angel's Magic The first Spell granted from Angel Magic! Fully destroy whatever is in your sights with a flash of white devastation!

It seems to go along with all of these new things I've gotten. I was even given something of an upgrade to myself. just from reading the description, I had a full understanding of how to cast the Spell. Where was this when I was struggling to learn things with Aqua!? My anger subsided in time. From what I understand, this seems to be like a Paladin version of a lightning bolt. But it seems to only be able to target whatever I see. There will probably be times that Anna's Spell will be better.

However, depending on things like rain and the like, there will be times when this is better. Continuing on to something that really caught my eye.

Angel's War Hymn Angel Magic The song of God's Army! When this Spell is used, your Allies are given an immediate boost of strength! To fight evenly against heretic armies, High Paladins, as Leaders of the mortal armies, were given this Army Buff Spell to fight for their survival! All Allies Stats Up (200%) This is something insane. I originally while reading, thought this might be useless, seeing as I already had those other Buff Spells.

But now, after gaining the understanding in my head, this Spell boosts everyone I consider an Ally during a battle. The only caveat is that I have a restriction. I need to be fighting a large force of at least 1000 combatants and I need to have at least 500 Allies to use the Spell.

It seems my original buffs are more useful for Party Members, but if a large-scale battle or war breaks out, this might just save the day if that happens. I hope not of course. But considering what Promethia has done already, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried something again. Moving on, I mentioned my Barrier spell being max level, but Shield Bash had reached max as well. That has to do with being used in conjunction with Barrier. I recently found out a very fun way for me to use them both during the night.

How it works is something I wouldn't say to anyone. Moving on! I also gained 2 new Spells.

Accelerate Holy Magic A Spell that increases a target's speed, this includes their perception and reflexes as well. Speed Up (200%) Decelerate Holy Magic A Spell that decreases a target's speed, this includes their Perception and reflexes as well. Speed Down (200%) Wow, I remember playing games with Spells like these. They both are insanely useful if they act like I think they do.

Seems from understanding the Spells from reading the text, the amount they speed up and slowdown will increase with my mastery over them. I'll have to test them out later. Moving on, I have the Titles to look at.

Betrayer of Humanity Given to Humans who fight against their own for another Race. Effect Damage to Humans Up (150%) Damage taken from Humans Down (150%) That's not too bad of a Title honestly. I might swap that in if I think I'll be fighting other Humans. continuing on.

Loyal Husband Given to those that are Loyal and Love their wives with all of their hearts! Couple Bonding Rate Up (400%) Wives Faith in you Up (300%) Be forewarned, a wife's emotions are subject to change in the moment! Just as yours are!

I wish I could frame this text box and give it to Sarah and Anna. Though, what does that bottom text even mean? Is it trying to explain that they'll still get jealous for some reason? I already got a good dose of that the other day. Maybe it'll just happen based on how much they Love me? Who knows!? It's better to talk with them about this than think about it by myself, surrounded by 11 people, who I'm not Married to... I quietly and skillfully swapped Otherworlder for this Title, because why not?

Noble Given to those who have been coronated and received a Noble Rank by a King or Queen. Political Instinct Up (150%) Job Allocation Success Up! (200%) Seems like this Title would help with situations I'm going to find myself in. I swapped Brazen Warrior for it and continued looking around.

Healer of Demons Given to those who've healed many Demons. Healing Effects Towards Demons Up (300%) Finally, something simple. So, at the end of the day, I've gained quite a lot from Evolving into a High Paladin! I smiled to myself as I heard Sarah call from behind me." Since everyone is here, please join us! Anna and I have made sandwiches for you all. My Love, I made the 3 of us breakfast sandwiches." tighten... / guuggg... / Her words broke my concentration for a moment as I heard my stomach growl.

I decided to quickly get it over with and look at the last one.

Sex Maniac Given only to a true pervert! This Title is given from doing unique actions in the bedroom with 1 or many partners! Personal Pleasure Up (300%) Partner's Pleasure Up (300%) Creativity Up (200%) WHAT DO YOU MEAN "Creativity Up"!!!??? I'm normal in the bedroom dammit! Besides the Barrier and Shield Bash trick, all I did was do what Sarah and Anna wanted to do! I... I think I see the problem here. It's probably a combination of Sarah and the Barrier trick.

Why am I pretending like I won't equip this at night anyways? Ah forget it, I'm tired and my head hurts... And I'm hungry....
