Ul eventually managed to ditch Jelka.
The "phenomenon" in the sky above Moya City had disappeared, which meant the battle between the guild masters of Angel Wings and Devil's Fang had reached its conclusion!
Although food was a huge temptation for Jelka, she was more worried about the safety of her guild members.
After leaving Jelka,
Ul found a nearby city, rented a room at an inn, and slept like the dead.
After this mission, Ul felt like he'd lost several pounds.
He'd only taken on a mission to capture a thief. Who could have guessed things would end up like this?
Ul had no idea how long he'd slept.
He'd woken up in the middle of the night...
Once he was fully awake,
Ul first asked the innkeeper to get him something to eat, then took a bath!
After he'd completely recovered,
Ul returned to his room and summoned a certain system from reality.
As the familiar notification sounded beside him and that line of "real-world text" appeared on the system panel, Ul remained completely calm.
After spending so much time with these systems, Ul had gotten a good sense of just how shameless they could be. So even if the system pulled another brazen stunt, he felt he could handle it.
Invincible Passive System Host: Wei Yi Passive Abilities: Void Stomach, Lava Body, Evil Equilibrium Health: 17 Magic Power: 161 Mental Power: 19 Magic Resistance: 0% Armor: 1%
Although this trip had been full of unexpected turns, the rewards had been enormous as well.
By scavenging bodies on the battlefield and finally killing Sheris, Ul's magic power had surged several times over. He'd gone from barely reaching C-Class to the advanced level of a B-Class Mage.
The magic of this world was mysterious, especially certain kinds of specialized magic. Once a Mage learned one, it was difficult to judge their combat strength based on ordinary ranks alone.
Although he couldn't assess their combat strength, after so many rounds of finishing off his opponents, Ul had gotten a rough idea of how much magic power Mages at different levels possessed.
According to the system's stats,
a C-Class Mage's magic power limit was around 50.
A B-Class Mage's magic power limit was around 150 to 200.
An A-Class Mage's magic power limit was around 500 to 600.
Ul had roughly estimated these figures based on the magic power of the people whose bodies he'd scavenged. They might not be exact, but they should be close enough.
The stronger a Mage became, the wider the gap in magic power between each rank...
This was especially true once they reached S-Class.
Ul couldn't begin to estimate the amount of magic power an S-Class Mage possessed.
The range covered by the S-Class rank was simply too broad. In this world, S-Class was the highest rank a Mage could attain. Erza, Makarov of the Ten Wizard Saints, and even the Spriggan 12 could all be called S-Class Mages.
"Right, System. You said before that coins had another use besides drawing prizes. What was it?" Ul was satisfied with his sudden surge in strength, but that wasn't the only reason he'd summoned the system.
[Coins have two main uses. First, they can be exchanged for "money" at the current-world exchange rate and used for draws. Second, they can be spent directly to upgrade passive skills the host already possesses.]
[The first upgrade for each skill costs 100 coins.]
[Would the host like to exchange the coins or upgrade a skill directly?]
[As a friendly reminder, "money" is a circulating currency, while coins are a limited currency.]
Looking at the long string of text on the system panel, Ul fell silent for a moment.
The system had explained it clearly.
Although the system could be a bit of a rip-off at times, it was quite conscientious when it came to "recharging"...
He still didn't know how powerful these "skill upgrades" were, but judging by the exchange rate between coins and money in this world, they shouldn't disappoint him.
After some thought,
a moment later,
Ul slowly said, "System, exchange twenty coins for 'money,' then open the draw."
[Understood.]
[The host exchanged 20 coins and received 6,000,000 J.]
[The host recharged 1,000,000 J. Membership level increased... The host recharged 5,000,000 J. Current membership level: 5!]
[The host has received two draw chances. Would you like to use them now?]
"Yes!"
Watching his fortune flow away like a waterfall, Ul's eye twitched violently. But in the end, he forced down his heartache and gritted his teeth as he spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking,
the system panel rapidly transformed into an image of a black hole, which began to spin slowly...
A few seconds later,
the black hole suddenly stopped spinning.
Then two beams of white light shot out and instantly merged into Ul's body.
[Congratulations, host! You have drawn the passive ability Tough Body from the hero Garen.]
[Tough Body: The host's body has been slightly transformed by the Power of Demacia. The first limit of the human body has been broken, increasing the potential of the host's body. Self-healing ability increased by 100%; magic resistance slightly enhanced...]
[Congratulations, host! You have drawn the passive ability Sword Heart from the hero Yasuo.]
[Sword Heart: The host's willpower has been strengthened, granting him a talent for swordsmanship...]
Ul: "..."
Looking at the two passive abilities he'd drawn, Ul felt conflicted.
How should he put it?
If he could swear right now, he felt like he could curse out the system for three days and three nights without repeating himself.
MMP!
This was a world of magic! A world of magic! A world of magic!
Damn it.
What the hell did it mean to draw two passive abilities in a row that strengthened his physical combat skills?
Invincible Passive System Host: Wei Yi Passive Abilities: Void Stomach, Lava Body, Evil Equilibrium, Tough Body, Sword Heart Health: 19 Magic Power: 161 Mental Power: 20 Magic Resistance: 1% Armor: 1%
Looking at his stats and feeling the strength in his body grow even greater,
Ul felt like he should be happy.
But for some reason,
he wasn't happy at all. In fact, he felt a tightness in his chest that left him deeply uncomfortable, and he couldn't help breathing heavily.
After finally managing to suppress the urge to curse,
Ul gritted his teeth and said, "System, next, upgrade..."
