Chapter 131 - Evolving!

And that option is…! Boom!
Ding!
<You choose the [Spectral Ice Dragon] Evolution>
Of course, before I picked it I told Fuyu to move slowly while I flew to the ground and made a giant ice cocoon.
The moment I pressed on the option, a large amount of power began to bathe my entire body, infusing itself into my flesh and soul, and making it all overflow with a vibrant aura of ice and phantom essence.
The power took over my entire being, and I felt like I was about to pass out due to the overflowing essence… I gritted my teeth and resisted, trying to see how far I could go, but in the end, I ended passing out anyways…
…
[Day 82]
Hm…
Ah!
How long did I sleep?
I finally wake up and I feel a bit different, part of evolving, I guess.
But there is something else, my Mana Core, it is overflowing with some newfound power within it. I can already tell that I had grown rather strong.
Is it already the next day? When I went to evolve it was night, so most likely…
Ding!
<You have evolved into a [Spectral Ice Dragon]!>
<You have Ranked Up to Mana Core Rank 2 Peak Stage!>
<Your Soul Cultivation Realm has ranked up to Soul Core Creation Realm Middle Stage!>
<All your stats have increased!>
<Some Skills have leveled up!>
<You learned the [Spectral Dragon Breath: Level 1], and [Spectral Attack: Level 1] Skills!>
I got two new Skills, sweet. But what do they do? I think they are quite clear, but still…
…
[Spectral Dragon Breath: Level 1]
Gather mana and harness the power of your phantasmal soul to release a deadly spectral breath towards your target, which consumes your own soul in the process, but can ignore the foe's defenses to an extent, and directly damage their souls. Damage based in Magic stat.
…
[Spectral Attack: Level 1]
Coat your claw/tail/jaws with your phantasmal soul and unleash a powerful spectral attack, strong enough to ignore your target defenses to an extent and directly damage their souls a bit.
…
I see they are rather good, this way I have another way to use my soul to fight… But it consumes my soul in the process? I guess I won't use it unless it is necessary…
Ding!
<The [Telepathy: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Psionic Communication: Level 1] Skill!>
<The [Fear-Inducing Aura: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Spectral Fear Aura: Level 1] Skill!>
And it seems that two Skills awakened… Now, let's see how much my stats increased.

A lot, several Skills had also leveled up and those two had awakened… In what did they awaken again?
Psionic Communication and Spectral Fear Aura… They sound better than what they actually are, which is merely upgrades from their previous versions.
Psionic Communication does have a better range, and I think I could even talk with someone on the other side of the world if I have ever met him and know his exact location.
Spectral Fear Aura makes for an even denser black aura coating my body, which is very fear-inducing and can make most monsters piss themselves in fear, I guess.
And about my stats, they all increased quite a lot once more… Surpassing my limits with every stage…
Now I wonder how much can the Rank Up to Rank 3 could give me.
My Vitality finally reached 10k, and my Mana is about to reach 20k, with its insane recovery, it has become near-endless… Well, it is still not endless.
And then other stats look pretty good as well.
My strength keeps increasing but my magic is still superior, as it doubles it. And my dexterity is reaching a pretty nice amount, now at 6k, despite my size and weight, I am quite flashy I guess.
Now that I look at my appearance, I am still almost the same as before.
When I look at an ice mirror, I can notice that my face had grown more terrifying though, I really do look like a dragon skull now… but made of crystal ice. Well, like a helmet more than my face, but that is actually part of my scales… Huh.
Anyways, I quickly flew back to Fuyu.
