"My dearest master, how was my performance?"
Stella came in front of Neo with starry eyes. Although her face looked calm, Neo knew she wanted to hear his praise.
Though looking at her clean dress and body, he was surprised as not a single drop of blood seemed to have fallen on it.
Her combat IQ seems to be higher than he had initially thought, which is a good thing for him. After all, who doesn't want a competent hero?
"A wonderful performance."
Neo praised as he smiled at her, hearing her lords praise Stella's eyes glowed with joy as she stood beside him waiting for his further command.
She wished more monsters would appear so that she could get more of her master's praise.
Unaware of the thoughts of his hero, Neo was looking at the profit of this fight as he clicked the collect option.
With a flash of light, all the bodies in the ground disappeared as they appeared in the small Lord's inventory that Neo had.
[Battle Reward: 5 corrupted bodies, 5 Supernatural(low) Monster Core, Goblins Demise(Supernatural)*5]
[Battle Reward: 5 corrupted bodies, 5 Supernatural(low) Monster Core, Demise(Supernatural)*5]
The reward was shown two times due to the glitch in the system, he even got a special item from this batch of monsters. Though he was surprised, even with his increased luck, he should get it from all monsters.
This must be the effect of his Lord's Heart Talent, after all, it did say that it will give a certain boost to the territory.
Another thing he was wondering about was how the double reward glitch works, after all he seems to get some things double while other things remain the same.
'I guess I will find out in the future.'
Thinking to himself, he looked at his Valkyrie, although this was only a small battle, he wondered how much boost it had bought to her.
"My Dearest Lord, My status."
As if noticing Neo's thought, she gave a simple bow and showed her status to him.
Blessing: Loyalty Breeds Strength( Stats increased by 5000% of initial stats, due to its nature it will be counted as initial stats. )
Physique: 6(5) Energy: 4(3) Vitality: 5(9)
Race Talent: Evolver(Unique), Swift
Skills: Learned Swordsmanship, Battle Eye
Evolver- A self-evolving talent that can give those who possess it the power to take all positive points for the slain opponent and evolve themselves with it. Physical change can be kept if the user wishes.
Swift: Increase Movement and Thinking speed by 10%
Looking at her stats, even when killing such weak monsters, it had increased by such an amount, well, this was due to her 5000% stats increase, but still she has officially surpassed him.
Her talent, even though he created it himself, was more busted than he thought. Well, perhaps she was too weak so such a boost was seen.
There can be a lot of reasons for such an increase, anyway, it was good for him if his hero got stronger.
Then there are the two skills she seems to have learned when
Learned Swordsmanship: A swordsmanship learned in battle, can increase sword proficiency by 1%.
Battle Eye(Lesser): A lesser rank skilled awakened due to high battle IQ, which allows her to see her opponent's movement at bullet time. Perception increased by 15%
The learned swordsmanship was just that, it could barely be called a skill, but with her talent she should be able to push it to a higher level.
Though her lesser rank skill was a surprise for him, after all he had never heard of anyone awakening a lesser rank skill.
Well, it may be due to his lack of information, after all, the things he knows are just the things he learned in school.
For some reason Yulan's parents didn't teach them anything extra than that.
Well, it's a very good lesser rank skill, almost reaching the middle rank. As for the division of skills, they are in the order from low to high: Lesser, Middle, Higher, Top, King, Demi God.
As for those ranked above, he never learnt it in school as school never taught it.
"Very good progress."
Neo praised once again as he looked at Stella, she had a big smile on her face and her joy wasn't hidden as she couldn't suppress her feelings anymore.
"Thank you for your praise, My Dearest Lord, I will work harder."
Stella spoke as she bowed her head again, it seems she likes to bow her head a lot, well that's what Neo thought anyway.
But if you look under, you can see the almost crazy, like loving expression on her face, to make sure her lord doesn't see such a disgraceful expression, she had bowed her head.
This also filled her with the desire to become stronger than ever, as she understood that if she became stronger, she would hear more of her lord's praise.
After checking around for a while, Neo said as he handed her ten Monster's cores. This can be considered under the type of Killing core for Stella, so she should be able to use the temporary exp gain blessing.
As for what the killing core means, well, the core of the monster will vary for people in two ways. For the one who killed the monster, it will be a killing core which gains can be enhanced by various blessings.
The other is a normal core, well, it is called so for the people who use it, but the monster wasn't killed by them. No exp blessings can be applied to it.
"Thank you for your gift, My Dearest Lord."
Stella bowed again as she took the core of the monster from his hand, getting a little distance away from him, she started to crush the core.
The monster core turned into powder as the energy from it flowed to her body, due to the exp gain she even got a little more from the system.
While she was busy absorbing the core of the monster, Neo was selling all the things he had gotten.
Even the [goblin's demise], although rare, didn't have any important uses other than making some niche potions with little use.
[ Corrupted bodies sold: 10 Lord points]*5
[ Corrupted bodies sold: 10 Lord points]*5
[ Goblin's demise sold: 100 Lord points]*5
[ Goblin's demise sold: 100 Lord points]*5
From selling it, he got the double reward, so from this small battle, he earned about 220 Lord's points, a small profit.
"Now it's time to clear out some monsters in the nearby area."
He muttered as he watched Stella diligently absorbing the energies in the Monster Core.
