Novel Full Chapter 321 - Ervas New Job Changes!
-----
Ervas glanced at his available Job Options with a bit of expectation, after having eaten Kireina's Soul Fragments, alongside Araba's and also Graham's Familiar Spirit Divine Soul, his strength skyrocketed, meaning that new Jobs regarding such new powers might appear.
[Jobs Available]
[Hollow Demon General], [Artisan: Phantasmal Living Equipment], [Vicious Bloodsucking Phantasmal Demon], [Demon Beast King], [Spiritual No-Life Doctor], [Aberrant Abyssal Mind Flayer], [Tartarus Phantasmal Warrior], [Elysium Bringer], [Gods Nemesis], [Vampiric Werewolf Phantasmal Prince], [Soul Therapist], [Great Summoner of the Unknown], [Spectral Devourer of Curses], [Netherworld Blue Flames User], [Fire-Breathing Draconic Half-Demon Warrior], [Life Attribute Mage], [Void King Mage], [Spectral Hollow Knight], [Bloodline Evolver], [Screaming Demonic Horror] (New!), [Dungeon Creator] (New!), [Void Attribute Mage] (New!), [Essence Absorber] (New!), [Demonic Divine Light Specter] (New!)
In front of Ervas, there were five new Jobs, startling him a bit.
He has not changed Jobs for about more than a week, as Mana God seemed like a hard to level Job due to the power it brought, however, now that he could finally change Jobs again and check the available ones, he had indeed unlocked a lot since that time, most of them being related to his new abilities.
[Screaming Demonic Horror] was a Job related to Ervas recent evolution, acquiring the Bloodline of the Banshee, a Demon Race that specialized in weaponizing their screams, this Job brought an increase on Ervas' Scream Skill, while giving him the ability to add on other effects into it, even to the point of having the ability to forcefully encroach the minds of those weak enough that could hear his wail.
[Dungeon Creator] was a rather obvious Job, yet very mysterious, as Ervas was fairly sure that no mortal was even able to create Dungeons, as it was a thing that only Gods could do, and Gods did not have the System of Kritias. This Job could finally let Ervas level up the Dungeon Creation Skill, and it seemed to give him greater freedom while creating a dungeon.
[Void Attribute Mage] (not to confuse with the Void King Mage Job which is related to No-Attribute Magic) was another obvious Job, which was most likely born when Ervas acquired the Void Attribute Magic through the Skills Shop. This Job increased Ervas' Void Attribute Magic Skill and it could give him an easier time creating more efficient spells that could be useful and also not cost ridiculous amounts of Mana like Ginnungagap…
[Essence Absorber] was… a mysterious Job. It seemed to be related to Ervas ability to absorb the power from something he ate, like through Skill Points, for example. This Job might bring him the ability to draw even more power from what he 'absorbs' and perhaps, more EXP and Skill Points.
And last but not least, [Demonic Divine Light Specter] was a Job related to the newest Skill within Ervas Skill List, courtesy of the tasty soul of the Familiar Spirit Graham Gold. It was related to the [Divine Soul Transformation: Light] Skill, and it seemed to give him the ability to better use this power of turning his soul into some kind of Divine Light, shaping it, and even, perhaps, create new Techniques and Spells through its usage.
"Honestly, I wish I could just pick every Job," thought Ervas, as he decided to pick a Job he thought might be able to level up to Level 100 immediately.
[You changed Jobs to [Hollow Demon General]!]
[All of your stats have increased]
[Skill Proficiency Bonus Earned]
[The Levels of the [Commanding; Level 9], [Coordination; Level 8], and [Strengthen Followers; Level 7] Skills have increased!]
[The [Commanding: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Great Demon Commander: Level 1] Skill!]
[The [Coordination: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Great Demon Coordinator: Level 1] Skill!]
The new Skills that Ervas awakened seemed to be straight upgrades from the previous ones, giving him the ability to better command and coordinate his allies, while also giving them a feeling of companionship.
"Two Skills awakened… and did Coordination just gained two levels? Strengthen Followers is level 8 now, so it only increased one… Well, this Job seemed to not bring much to the table… But it was quick to level… The requirements are to command an army of Demons, and I already am doing it as of now…" thought Ervas, as he glanced the Job level raise to 100!
[Your Job Level has reached Level 100!]
"Next on the list should be…"
[You changed Jobs to [Vicious Bloodsucking Phantasmal Demon]!]
[All of your stats have increased]
[Skill Proficiency Bonus Earned]
[The Levels of the [Digestion; Level 7], [Bloodsucking; Level 9], [Soul Materialization; Level 7], [Phantom Materialization; Level 7], [Shield Technique; Level 6], [Armor Technique; Level 6], and [Unarmed Fighting Technique; Level 7] Skills have increased!]
[The [Bloodsucking: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Bloodwork: Level 1] Skill!]
[Bloodwork: Level 1/10]
The power that any Vampire who has drunk enough blood awakens, giving them not only greater nourishment while drinking Blood but also control over their own blood and that of their prey to an extent.
The new Skill that Ervas acquired, Bloodwork, gave him the ability to not only nourish himself with fresh blood but also to shape his blood and even employ it as a weapon… At later stages, it might even let him absorb the blood of others and weaponize it by amassing ridiculous quantities.
"Oh, Bloodwork? That sounds interesting…" said Ervas, as he glanced at Lilith who was peacefully eating at his.
"If this Job is about drinking blood… Lilith, can I drink some of your blood?" asked Ervas.
"Oh? Of course, my lord~!" said Lilith, quickly standing up and giving Ervas her neck.
"You don't really need to approach your neck, your hand is fine…" said Ervas.
"No, my lord, as a Vampire, you must drink from my tender neck! Please, feast yourself!" said Lilith with enamored eyes…
"Fine, if you really… want to…" said Ervas, as he seeped his tiny vampire teeth into Lilith's neck.
"E-Ervas, did you really had to drink her blood?!" asked Jason.
Ervas nodded as he kept drinking Lilith's sweet blood, which seemed to have become even tastier and sweet as she became a Blood Human.
After a few minutes, Ervas finally maxed the level of his Job, as Lilith was left a bit dizzy.
"A-Ahhh~! My lord… You were so… intense~!" she said, almost moaning.
"Sorry, here," said Ervas, pouring his blood into a cup as Lilith quickly drank it, gaining back her energy.
It was as if they exchanged blood… a very vampiric ritual.
"It was to level a Job," said Ervas, as he ignored the stares of surprise from his friends.
Ding!
[Your Job Level has reached Level 100!]
"Nice… My stats increased just a bit though… Hm, this one might be the third," thought Ervas, selecting yet another Job.
Ding!
[You changed Jobs to [Demon Beast King]!]
[All of your stats have increased]
[Skill Proficiency Bonus Earned]
[The Levels of the [Great Demon Commander: Level 1], [Great Demon Coordinator: Level 1], [Strengthen Followers; Level 8], [Night Vision; Level 8], [Abnormal Status Resistance; Level 8], [Beast Transformation: Level 7], and [Dragon Breath: Level 5] Skills have increased!]
"This Job should level up based on the population that I govern, since I got it on the list, the population of the Igni Kingdom has skyrocketed, I believe that-"
Ding!
[Your Job Level has reached Level 100!]
"I guess that's it…"
Ding!
[You changed Jobs to [Spiritual No-Life Doctor]!]
[All of your stats have increased]
[Skill Proficiency Bonus Earned]
[The Levels of the [Healing Touch; Level 6], [Soul Repair: Level 3], [Aura of Life: Level 5], [Pharmacist; Level 5], [Surgery; Level 4], and [Limited Life Attribute Magic: Level 5] Skills have increased!]
"This one Job will be pretty useful… I already feel like my healing capabilities have strengthened…" thought Ervas, as he used his several Phantom Clones spread around the Kingdom, healing several souls that came from the mountain's Undead Labyrinth, those of the heroes whose souls were so tortured that it was taking very long for them to properly recover.
Now, it seemed that he was finally achieving greater progress in their regeneration.
…And because he was healing over fifty souls at the same time, well, he maxed the Job level.
Ding!
[Your Job Level has reached Level 100!]
"Okay, I think that's enough… I do not think the other Jobs can level up instantly like these… Hm… Now, what do I pick? This one is pretty weird, and it seems to be related to 'guiding'… Like in my previous life with the guidance jobs? I should have picked this up before, but I was into other things before, I guess," thought Ervas.
Ding!
[You changed Jobs to [Elysium Bringer]!]
[All of your stats have increased]
[Skill Proficiency Bonus Earned]
[The Levels of the [Great Demon Commander: Level 2], [Great Demon Coordinator: Level 2], [Strengthen Followers; Level 9], [Vegetation Charm; Level 9], and [Death Attribute Charm; Level 9] Skills have increased!]
[The [Strengthen Followers: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Guidance: Salvation Path: Level 1] Skill!]
[The [Vegetation Charm: Level 10] Skill and the [Death Attribute Charm: Level 10] Skill have merged and awakened into the [Salvation Path Enticement: Level 1] Skill!]
The moment Ervas changed into this Job, his entire presence changed and evolved… And everyone present glanced at him once more, baffled.
"Is that… guidance?!" asked Veronica.
"…Yes? Is it too strong?" asked Ervas.
"It really is! It is as if your entire presence has a whole mysticism to it!" said Kireina.
"Is that… so?" asked Ervas in a bit of confusion.
"Amazing, my son!" said Jason.
"O-Oh, thanks, I guess…?" asked Ervas.
Although Ervas was already used to Guidance when he was the Demon Queen in his previous life, this power to guide others towards a path seemed to greatly affect his allies, and the entire Kingdom slowly…
