BXBX NOVEL Chapter 524 - Rank 3 Celestial Prime
Chapter 524 - Rank 3 Celestial Prime
He wondered how she had managed when she was at the mortal stage and hadn’t yet mastered the energy consumption control when refining.
Draco tossed the sword into the Guild Shop. Some serf player out there would probably buy it since they had access to the Guild Shop too and actual members of Umbra were above using mere Rare weapons at this point.
Draco then watched as Eva soon returned with a light smile on her face. He noticed that it was Evaterasu this time, no longer Riveting Night, telling him that Sublime should have been thoroughly dealt with.
He could only sigh on her behalf, for she had chosen the wrong time to launch an offensive against Eva. If she had just waited a few minutes, Evaterasu would have simply taken the blow in stride, at most threatening to deal her some pain, without actually going through with it.
"Take a look, Eva." Draco said with a smile as he transferred his changes over to her mentally. There was no need to use the system as it was far faster and easier to send Eva a compressed .psyzip file that she could unpack with her own mental powers.
His soulmate quickly looked through and was surprised. Draco’s power had increased more than just a little, and he might even be able to take Roma, Zaine, and Hikari on in a fight, as long as she herself were to stay on the sidelines.
Eva folded her arms and smiled. "Here’s mine. I took a look on my way back 0and it’s not bad at all."

As she hadn’t gained any new skills since Eva didn’t have much in the way of extra bloodlines or titles in the game, there was only her skills and equipment to look at. Draco checked the skills first.

｢Purify – Active Skill

｢Instant Healing – Active skill

｢Void’s Blessing (Rank 3) – Passive skill

｢Celestial’s Dignity (Rank 3) – Passive skill
Effect: The user is covered by the aura of Divinity. In all social interactions with entities of the same Rank or below, the user is treated as the same status as a True God emissary.
Secondary Effect: All situations dependent on Charisma are automatically passed.｣
The changes were pretty predictable and in line with what Draco himself had enjoyed. However, the most notable change was in Eva’s Celestial Maiden Inheritance’s affiliated skill, the Celestial’s Dignity passive.
It had gained something they had not seen before in the previous timeline which was a secondary effect. Putting aside the introduction of this new terminology, the fact itself shocked the White-Haired Duo in how senselessly overpowered it was.
Charisma was definitely an uncommonly favored stat with very few skills and classes prioritizing it, such as Rambunctious Buttlover’s Battle Bard class or Zaine as a S.u.c.c.u.b.u.s.
For example, Draco’s own active skill Charm, allowed him to force any target of any Rank to obey him unconditionally for 3 hours with a cooldown of 20 hours. However, he could only succeed if he had more than 1.9x times the Charisma of his target, and he would suffer an intense backlash if he failed.
Even though Draco knew his base 100 points of Charisma likely surpassed many beings at Rank 5 and above, he dared not use the skill lest he ends up suffering for it, for the backlash would have him be under his opponent’s control for the same amount of time.
But if Eva had the same skill, she could point at any fellow from Rank 1 to Rank 10,000 and make them her bitch for 3 hours. Granted, her Celestial Prime class doesn’t allow her to learn such skills, but if they could just find a Divine skill that was based on Charisma, she would be set.
This would also technically apply in terms of letting her win certain negotiations or events that would directly force a skill check. Unfortunately, it did not mean that Eva could become a godly merchant with this new effect and make anyone trade over their house and clans in one word.
Draco then checked her items with interest, wondering if anything great had appeared this time around.

Draco smacked his lips when he saw Eva’s items. Many things had changed for the better, and her light-based attacks would SERIOUSLY sting now with all those boosts. Draco was also interested in seeing what her Divine Symbol would become once it was upgraded to Divine and personalized for Eva.
He also made a mental note to infuse the Celestial Coronet with some Origin Energy later when he was a higher Rank and more proficient with Refinement, so that it could be f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y upgraded to the Divine Rank at least.
Draco frowned at Eva’s two special items that were related to the Three Symbols of Amaterasu. He had seen their effects when Amaterasu wielded them, but in Eva’s hands, they were greatly weakened.
Of course, the logic for that was the same as why items would become stronger in the hands of users with each Rank Up. Epic and above items had no stats and were only as strong as their users, which was why every Rank up allowed one to exert more power than before.
If Eva reached the Divine level - or anyone for that matter - Divine and below items would no longer have cooldowns, as they would be able to use your natural Divine Energy to be activated.
Cooldowns only existed - in terms of in-game logic - because the items were using their own energy to activate such power plus whatever little you had, so it was recharging in the downtime.
Of course, the obvious meta reason was because the AI was not going to allow you to run around spamming Continent Zone wide attacks at bloody Rank 1.
It already had enough stress with these two "reincarnators" - more like PLAGUES if you asked the AI’s subroutine that cared about balance - on a daily basis.
Draco then checked Eva’s final changes, which was here Dragoira set which was the counterpart to his Dragorugio set.

The set had improved quite tidily if you asked Draco. After all, as the creator of this set, he knew more than anyone about its characteristics and potential, so he was satisfied with how it had increased this time around.
Draco and Eva then left the Training Hall and appeared above the entire Vita Kingdom, floating above the inner section this time, as they eyed certain buildings within.
It was finally time to make use of their 5 Property Upgrade Token – Platinum!
