Chapter 235 - 151: The Birth of the First Leader Level, Reina’s Special Request

Chapter 235: Chapter 151: The Birth of the First Leader Level, Reina’s Special Request

Still, considering her Talent stat of a full 71 points, it wasn’t that surprising.

"Reina, come, drink these essences."

Shen Xing opened his right hand. Three pure Rain Dew Pearls rolled slowly in his palm.

"Yes, Lord."

The stunning red figure before him didn’t hesitate in the slightest. She took a step forward, gently cupped the Dew Beads in his hand, and brought them to her lips.

The crystalline beads slid over the tip of her soft tongue and into her mouth, vanishing in an instant.

For the first few seconds, there seemed to be no change.

But in the very next moment...

WHOOSH—

A scorching aura erupted from her slender body, like a pressure cooker that had been building for ages finally being opened, releasing waves of white steam.

Her Magic Robe whipped about in the heatwave, the flame patterns on its hem growing ever more vibrant as the aura around her body soared.

[Your Territory Hero: Reina Yanet’s Level has increased to 17!]

[Attribute increase from this level up: Power +43, Spirit +68, agility +42, Constitution +38]

[Your Territory Hero: Reina Yanet’s Level has increased to 18!]

[Your...]

...

Three flashes of white light pulsed in succession.

When the hot air dissipated, a tall, slender figure slowly stepped forward.

Her graceful figure revealed a perfect silhouette, her stunningly beautiful face held a determined expression, and her full head of red hair danced about.

Radiant as a flame, her brilliance blazed.

The Peak of Junior High, Half-Step High School-level powerhouse—Reina Yanet has arrived!

Shen Xing felt the flourishing Flame Power emanating from her and was pleased.

"Reina, prepare yourself. I’m about to have you evolve again."

The Red-haired Mage’s gaze trembled. She too knew that the transformation from a Boss to a Leader was an extremely important one.

"Lord, I am ready to accept everything from you. Please, bestow it all upon me," Reina said, her voice firm.

Shen Xing: "..."

’Why does that sound a little weird?’

’But never mind that. Breaking through to Leader is what’s important.’

He opened the Talent Interface and selected the target before him.

[Use Sacrificial Evolution to raise the Potential of Territory Hero: Reina Yanet to Leader ★?]

[This evolution requires the sacrifice of agility *500.]

...

"Hm? Five hundred?"

Shen Xing stared at the number, shocked.

’From one hundred straight to five hundred... that’s a pretty exaggerated jump.’

’But it’s not like I’m the one paying the price. You could ask for five thousand and it still wouldn’t have anything to do with me.’

"Evolve!"

As his voice fell, a thick beam of red light descended from the Celestial Vault, enveloping the graceful red figure.

VMMMM...

In the light, Reina’s Magic Robe was once again lifted by the wave of energy, revealing a length of her fair, slender calves.

Her entire body was arched back slightly as her feet slowly lifted off the ground.

In this position, the curve of her slender waist was on full display, and the full contours of her chest were even more prominent; it looked like a single hand couldn’t possibly grasp it all.

’Er... wait, that’s not what I should be focusing on, is it?’

Shen Xing shook his head and focused his gaze back on her.

Within the red light, the flame patterns on Reina’s Magic Robe grew increasingly dazzling, and her red hair grew at a visible rate until it nearly reached her waist.

When the light faded, a familiar system notification flashed before his eyes.

[Evolution successful! Your Territory Hero: Reina Yanet has transformed into a Leader ★!]

[Profession: Flame Mage → Flame Archmage]

[This breakthrough: All Attributes +45%, agility +500!]

[Hero Skills: Flame Aura, Flame Domain Effects have been enhanced.]

[Leader Skills Activated: Blazing Roll, Meteor Technique]

...

With that, the territory’s first Leader-level creature was finally born!

"Excellent. Let me see just how strong these Leader-level Skills are."

Shen Xing took a deep breath, then opened Reina’s panel to examine the Attributes of the two Skills in detail.

[Blazing Roll]

[Skill Effect: Releases Flame Power to transform up to 100 friendly units into elemental Fireballs, which then launch a rolling attack against the enemy.

During the transformation, they cannot attack, but their movement speed is increased by 100%, and they are immune to all control Effects.

The transformation is automatically canceled upon colliding with the first enemy, dealing area-of-effect Flame Damage to enemies within 5 meters of the impact point.

Duration: 5 seconds

Cooldown: 3 hours]

(Note: TOOT TOOT! Here come the Blazing Fireballs!)

...

[Meteor Technique]

[Skill Effect: Summons a giant Meteorite from high in the sky, dealing massive damage to enemies at the center of the impact point (10 meters) and dealing 40% impact damage to surrounding enemies (100 meters), stunning them for 1~3 seconds.

Cooldown: 45 minutes]

(Note: "Let the world know pain!")

...

’As expected of Leader-level Skills. Although they’re a tier below Hero Skills, they’re still quite powerful.’

’Used correctly, they could also turn the tide of battle,’ Shen Xing commented to himself.

Just then, the transformed Reina slowly landed and walked toward him with light steps.

Compared to before, her figure was taller, her body even more exquisitely curved.

Bound by her Magic Robe, her full, rounded curves were even more pronounced.

Her red hair cascaded down to her waist like flowing lava, the ends swaying gently with her steps.

"Thank you, Lord."

Reina curtsied slightly, her ruby-crystal eyes gazing at him tenderly. "Your grace toward me is as deep as the sea. Reina doesn’t know how she can ever repay you."

Shen Xing smiled. "You don’t have to say that. Haven’t I told you before? You’re my family."

"Family..." Reina paused for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Then... can I do things with you that only family members can do?"

"Things family members do?" Shen Xing asked instinctively. "Like what?"
