Chapter 1228: Sapphire's New Form
Chapter 1228: Sapphire's New Form
Sapphire had evolved into a giant shield of black and gold color, and with a speargun included for extra fun and explosive, surprise damage whenever a foe didn't expect it.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have successfully helped evolve your Familiar: [Sea Dragon's Oceanic Shield: Sapphire] through the power of your Alchemy, Blacksmithing, and Crafting Skills and Abilities.]

Yup, but that wasn't all, there was more.
Checking her Status quickly revealed to me how much she has changed.

"This is ridiculous!" I said,
"Hey Scarlet, get fucked." Sapphire called Scarlet.
"UWAGH?!" Scarlet screamed, completely defeated. "W-What are those gross stats? Did you become a gorilla now, you stupid shield? You're supposed to be a shield, not an actual wall or something! Eighty thousand Defense?!"
"Now I am the most defensive, quite literally." Laughed Sapphire. "And with my superior Health and Resistance, nothing is passing through me, at all!"
"I... admit defeat in thar regard, but your offense is pitiful!" Scarlet laughed.
"A shield is not made to fight; I am made to defend! As long as I fulfill that role, then I am fine!" Saphire said merrily. "Right, master?"
"Y-Yeah..." I was still having a hard time believing my eyes after seeing Sapphire's status.
Some old skills have reached pretty high levels, but that wasn't really everything.
Many of them ended evolving, actually everything related to the "sea dragon" by itself has completely vanished and evolved into a stronger form.
Above all, even the Golem Summoning Skill improved! This was a Skill included on Sapphire's most original form as a Coral Golem Shield.
And the Skills that evolved were all of these, four skills in total:
[Ice Golem Guardian: Lv8] -> [Abyssal Mithril Golem Guardian: Lv3]
No more ice or water themed it seems, it has become an almighty Abyssal Mithril Golem at that, and I think I can summon more than one too. How strong are those golems, I wonder?
[Sea Dragon Protection: Lv8] -> [Abyssal Black Dragon's Divine Protection: Lv3]
It became a Divine Protection, somehow?
It increases all Defense Stats and Resistance against All Elements when wielded.
[Sea Dragon Scales: Lv5] -> [Element Absorbing Abyssal Dragon Scales: Lv2] Similar, increasing defenses, but it can also absorb elemental damage easily, converting it into health and mana for the shield to easily restore.
[Sea Dragon Soul Summon: Lv5] -> [Abyssal Sea Dragon Phantasmal Soul Summon: Lv2]
And lastly, this Soul Summon thing that can be unleashed once enough damage is taken, it is an explosive attack more than anything, now having become an Abyssal Sea Dragon Phantasmal Soul Summon, it sure seems different.
Maybe it's no longer just an attack summon, and it can now become a more stationary or present summon, something I can carry around wherever I go, perhaps. Similar to the golems
in that regard!
And lastly, the three new skills:
[Divine Black Thunder Dragon Fortress Domain: Lv1]
By harnessing Mana, I think a powerful Domain made of Black Thunder can be formed, it can deal a lot of damage I would guess, if it's made completely of black thunder. It can also expand like a Domain to easily protect allies!
[Wrathful Draconic Counter: Lv1]
A Counter Skill, enough accumulated damage can help the shield release it all as a counter blow, which could even lower the stats of the affected, aside from blowing them to bits.
[Thunderous Explosive Speargun Attack: Lv1]
The self-explanatory Skill, although I am glad it appeared as a skill now, so I can use it over and over again more easily without even needing to think too hard about it.
As long as Mana is applied, BAAM!
It's not as strong as Scarlet, supposedly.
The thing is, its damage increases the more damage the shield itself takes, so I can pair this up with the Counter Skill to unleash such a strong blow it could become my new trump card.
"Hehehe, perfect, excellent..." I giggled evilly, maybe because I was so tired, I felt sleepy and my mind was all foggy. "I-I did it... Haha, with you two, I am literally unstopable. I want a rematch with Jupiter and Apollo together, bring it... on... Ugh..."
I ended almost falling to the floor if it wasn't because Alice caught me with a projection of a
hand completely made of light.
"Careful, Sylphy! You are too tired!" She sighed.
"Master!" Scarlet panicked.
"Are you toot tired?!" Sapphire asked. "You almost passed out!"
"S-Sorry, maybe sleepy? I've been working for almost four hours nonstop after all, I've
exhausted all my Stamina, or what some would call Ki..." I sighed. "I wanted to... upgrade Violet next, but I guess we'll leave that for tomorrow. Sorry Violet." "Guguuu!" Violet patted my head. "Gugeeh!" She was telling me to sleep, probably.
"Yeah, like she said! Go to sleep, master! Enough is enough." Scarlet said.
"I guess we drained a lot out of ya, please rest..." Sapphire said. "Yeah Sylphy, let's go back to bed, okay?" Alice acted as motherly as always.
"Heheh, okay..." I yawned. "Sorry guys, the show for now is over. I'll come back soon to help you out at what you want to do... I had... thought that maybe I could make you something like Alchemy Gloves or something, we'll see what we can work on later though."
"It's fine."
"Go rest. Please."
"Have a nice day."
"Rest. Please rest."
"The chief says you should rest."
"People of flesh. Must rest. We robots. Don't need to rest at all times. But we also rest.
Sometimes."
They were very polite robots.
I walked out of my dungeon, exhausted, and dropped half-dead over my bed.
Aquarina was still sleeping there, I had woken up at like 6 AM after all, and it was roughly 10
AM, so she was still lazing out before waking up.
Man, this is so comfy...
I cuddled with my cute girlfriend and then she noticed my arms wrapped around her belly,
quickly moving to my side and hugging me back.
She smelled so nice, I could hardly resist not sleeping, I closed my eyes and dozed off without any more excuses, I was totally exhausted.
