Chapter 30: Core synchrony
Evangeline who was laughing before now had a serious expression, as the administrator she can more or less predict when Daimon is about to get a new skill but a moment ago… he got a skill which she didn't "foresaw".
When Daimon was about to check both the skill tree and the soulmate tab, he listened Erin and Aisha saying
"Wow, what is this?".
Daimon stood up and asked in a worried tone.
"What happened?".
Due to her current happiness Erin ignored the fact that Aura was still present in the room and said in an excited voice.
"Is this some kind of wedding gift from you hehehe ♥?".
"Huh?".
Daimon was confused by Erin's words, he turned to see his mother and she also had a happy but complex expression on her face, as if she couldn't believe something that was happening in front of her eyes.
The only thing that changed was the new skill or the fact that Narasha was now his soulmate so he opened the skill tree and he froze when he saw the new skill, unlike the other skills he had gotten so far, this one had golden and purple light surrounding it.
[Love conquers all, in less than a week the host managed to obtain the hearts of five female existences, all stronger than the host thus fulfilling the requirements to obtain the Irregular skill "Core synchrony"]
[Core synchrony LV 1 (Passive/Active): The soulmates will form a secondary core which will allow them to generate their own AP (the bonding condition remains) this core will also allow the share of energies between them and the host for a certain period of time, (the soulmates will only receive mana, aura or AP from the host, while the host will receive mana or aura from every soulmate), the current limit is taking 5% of each soulmate]
[Price: none] [Duration: 1 hour] [Penalization: 24 hours] [Cooldown: 1 week]
…
Evangeline also saw the description of the skill and she was in awe, "what the hell is that, there is no records of such a skill existing in the data base of the system, did he create it on his own?", she thought.
Once a skill was unlocked or created, the data of said skill was immediately available for Evangeline to see but right now, no matter how se tried to look at it there was no information regarding "Core synchrony".
Narasha also found rather interesting that after becoming Daimon's soulmate she got little black core which this one seemed stronger than her original one even if it was smaller, not only that but once the secondary core appeared and started radiating some kind of energy she hasn't seen before, she immediately gained full control of Disaster as if the sword was afraid of it.
She was really happy.
"Daimon, you are the best ♥, just like that I'm no longer in the need of fighting against the sword, in fact now it is willingly showing submission as if it wants me to have the full control".
It took Daimon a moment to process what that skill truly meant, with each realm the increment in physical strength, mana capacity, magic attack etc. was not as simple as adding one plus one, for example there is a huge gap between a mage lord and an Archmage and now he had access to a part of the strength of two Archmages and… a half emperor.
Narasha was a special case since he didn't know how to classify her and Aisha was starting her cultivation again but still just the 5% from Erin will probably push him over a six or even seven-star mage and adding Elizabeth and Elaine to the mix… he could not imagine what would be the result.
…
Daimon had a complex expression
"Evangeline… I know the system is awesome and all that but isn't this a bit too much?".
Evangeline shrugged.
"You ask me but, I also don't have any information about that, there is a good reason as to why you don't have access to certain skills… a "penalty" means you will be in a weakened state after using it because the tension this temporary boost in your strength puts in your body will be no joke".
Daimon nodded.
"I will try it once when we return but it will probably be a last option to use when there is no other choice".
Now that the contract was stablished Daimon tried to take Disaster from the case but no matter how hard he tried he could barely move the handle.
"What the hell this sword is too heavy!!!".
Narasha immediately replied.
"Hey you shouldn't say something like that to a lady you know? Besides it's not my fault, antinite is the material with the highest density known, after all it's only created in the core of stars under an unmeasurable quantity of pressure and a really long time… and Disaster has absorbed a lot of it during the past years".
Daimon contemplated things for a moment.
"It's actually not a bad thing, I will just need to train a lot to use the sword so that will be my short-term goal before entering the academy".
He touched the case and it entered his storage, unlike a ring which was another a little separated space, the storage he got from the system was a space practically inside of him so he could still communicate with Narasha, of course to avoid unnecessary attention he was wearing a storage ring as a cover.
Once the case containing Disaster disappeared Aura finally came out of her daze, she shook her head before saying.
"Incredible… you actually did it, I can't wait to see how will you do in the academy hahaha".
She turned to see Erin who had the brightest smile Aura has ever seen and she sighed.
"Yes, yes, I know you found a gem, now returning to reality we need to made a public announcement, I don't have anything to worry on my side after my voice is the law here but you… how are you going to deal with those stubborn old geezers in your family?".
Listening to her friend Erin's smile changed to a serious expression.
"They don't have a say on this, maybe I need to remind them that the last word on the family is a right only I have, specially to that idiot "supreme elder" who seems to be becoming closer with the Jolbaris lately humph".
Aura's eyes glowed for a second, as a battle maniac she was always ready to fight, up to this day she was the only one that has been able to fight against two half emperors and still coming on top, she licked her lips.
"If you need, I can help you to do some "cleaning".
Erin gave her a weird gaze.
"Forget it I still need some of the elders to be alive and knowing you the first thing you will do is cutting off some heads… like the last time".
"Tsk, you are not funny, however things on my side will be settled in a moment and I will go with you to your clan, lets make a little bet about how many of those elders will piss their pants when they see me hahaha".
Erin guided Aisha and Daimon to the roof of the castle to wait while Aura was putting on some clothes and taking a few things she might need for their travel, after all the Revy clan was not like the Argents and there will be a big commotion once they see another half emperor arriving at their main territory.
Now that they were alone Daimon wanted to confirm his doubts about his new skills.
"Mom, auntie do you have a secondary core now?".
They both nodded and Aisha patted his head.
"Yes, I got a… "notification" was it? saying that I received a secondary core thanks to you darling ♥, and I'm now producing the energy needed for the spells of my grimoire on my own".
"The same happened to me, so the energy contained in that small black core will be the one I would need for the spells that Laplace thing will give me in the future?", asked Erin.
Daimon nodded.
"Yes, after we hunt some magic beasts, I will give auntie and big sisters a fragment of Laplace…".
Erin smiled and placed her index finger on her lips.
"Shhh".
They stopped their conversation and after a moment, footsteps could be heard coming from the castle.
Aura finished preparing and when she was going upstairs her wolf ears moved a bit as she listened some interesting things but they suddenly stopped talking.
"Tsk, that old vixen is as sensitive as always, I'm also part of your little secret now so we need to get to know each other "little Daimon" hahaha".
