Samiel then read the notification from the Akashic Records when he got into his new chambers, as the Winter Magic finally got recorded within his Records when he learned some of the basics from it, so right now, he had knowledge of over three types of Magic in his arsenal.
But the most shocking event was that the proficiency with his Lord Class Knight of Niflheim had been tremendously increased, altogether by 9%, skyrocketing from the original 12% to the 21%, which was a great increasement just for learning the Winter Magic.
"I could now increase my Level... if I could reach Level 19 or 20, it would be for best for the upcoming Magical Beast Horde."
Samiel said to himself because soon it would be the time of the next Magical Beast invasion, or rather an attempt of that, on the Zephystrand, even though it had practically 0% of succeeded with all the defenses of the Zephystrand City, especially if the Drider was using only Iron-Tier and Steel-Tier spiders mostly.
Even if they were overwhelming in numbers, it couldn't change the final outcome, so it only solidified that something fishy was going on, and just like Yvraine predicted that the true aim of the Underdark is to grasp the development of the new generation of Magetech weapons that are deployed in the Zephystrand City.
"I should get to the work already."
He then stated, as he took out countless Steel-Tier and several tens of Bronze-Tier Mana Crystals and started draining Mana inside them with tremendous speed, taking only several minutes for them to crumble into dust.
"Just a bit more."
For Samiel reaching higher Levels was always a hassle because of the quantity of resources needed due to his race. Certainly, the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages of it, but it was still annoying to hell; fortunately, right here and now, he didn't have to feel for resources as much.
And thus, he continued draining the Mana Crystals one after another, to the point where he just felt that weird and yet satisfactory feeling when he reached the higher level, as right now he reached Level 19.
"Indeed, I feel much stronger than before... still with this tempo; it will take me an eternity to reach even Gold-Tier, not to mention Legendary Level..."
Samiel lamented because even though he was the Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath, even they wouldn't give him enough resources to comfortably reach Legendary Level or resources for the Legendaries for nothing.
Contribution points were needed, or he would need to gather his own resources because it would be a stupid thing to exchange his contribution points on things that could be easily obtained. Thus, he planned to ask the Hall to send him to some relatively weak Lower World when he reached Silver-Tier, so he could rampage there and harvest an entire world's worth of resources.
Such a method was even easier than obtaining the common ones in the Tower. However, only very strong factions could do something like that, mostly because pending between worlds here and there required powerful Legendaries or unique tools that would allow such a thing, and those were rare.
He knew that the Hall of Kadath's way of the harvest was unleashing the Apocalypse on the world through many means, and when the entire world was "pacified", one only needed to harvest the gains.
Now that he reached Level 19, Samiel didn't really stop and continued to drain the Mana Crystals, combining them with the souls he harvested as he soon enough, within one hour, managed to reach Level 20.
Upon reaching Level 20, he decided to stop because while for normal people, such progress wouldn't create a significant increase in power, Samiel was the total opposite, and he felt that his whole combat prowess had been creased by approximately 20%, which was enormous growth.
With the increasement of his Level, he could now safely control 300 Undeads, and theoretically maybe even 500, but he never used more Undeads he could absolutely control. Among the Necromancers, there were those who used more Undeads than they could control, which would usually result in chaos because the Undeads that the Necromancer could not control would attack everything in their sight.
"Just five Levels away from the Peak of the Steel-Tier."
He murmured as he reorganized his 300, from which he had 16 Mage-type Undeads, which were very rare. Samiel thought he could make some Liches because he still had around 100 Soul Force Crystals.
However, he lacked some other precious materials to make Higher Undeads because they would require many resources that he right now lacked, and even though the original base of the Forest Troll Shaman was good, he wanted something more powerful, or rather something with more potential than average Forest Troll, as the base for his Liches.
If not, he would probably get only an Elder Lich, which was an Advanced Undead; though not bad, it always could be better. Though Samiel aimed at the Overlord if possible, the highest ranked Lich and one of the strongest Undead aside from very special Undeads.
He always preferred quality over quantity, but right now, he was aiming to achieve a perfect balance between two of these aspects. Meanwhile, Samiel was harvesting Mana from the Mana Crystals and then contemplating about what to do next; Nefertari was right now in the process of breaking through to the Bronze-Tier.
She was long ago stuck at the Level 25 of the Steel-Tier, and now she was finally reaching the Bronze-Tier. Obviously, she was also very close to her breakthrough, and now, after Samiel was getting strong through Leveling Up, she was also harvesting some benefits through their connection.
[Elder Wampus Cat Nefertari has reached the Level 26 Bronze-Tier.]
[Elder Wampus Cat Nefertari has awakened Level 2 Unique Ability Mirage.]
Samiel, too got the notifications from the Akashic Records, or rather, it would be more precise to say that Nefertari got them because, contrary to Samiel, she hasn't established the connection with the Akashic Records and only got the connection due to being Samiel's familiar.
[Level 2 Unique Ability Mirage - Innate Racial Ability of the Elder Wampus Cats, that allows them to induct their victims into extreme realistic illusions, or the so-called Mirage Worlds, essentially trapping them in illusionary worlds. The ability itself had powerful potential to crush someone's mind if used correctly.]
Samiel read the description of the Ability that Nefertari awakened, as she now could use her racial gifts, for which the Wampus Cats were famous. Though normal Wampus Cats only had Illusion or Hypnotism related abilities or both, Elder Wampus Cats such as Nefertari had Ability of Mirage, which was basically boosted version of a combination between Hypnotism and Illusion.
'Hooman, Hooman, Hooman, look, I reached the Bronze-Tier.'
Nefertari flapped her wings while she flew to Samiel and landed next to him, sticking out her cute little head and basically saying: "Praise me, praise me!".
Samiel just relented to her, scratched her behind her ear as she purred, satisfied that her master was petting her, and scratching her behind her ear. Though, Samiel had to admit that this was very good that she reached Bronze-Tier, especially just a few months before the Magical Beast Horde would attack the Zepjhystrnad.
The Mirage Ability Nefertari awakened had tremendous potential, particularly effective on those who didn't have strong wills or didn't protect their minds from outside interference.
'Okey, okey, you are the greatest and most majestic, beautiful, and powerful almighty supreme cat in existence.'
Samiel just spouted a few random words to tickle Nefertari's ego as she happily laid on his legs, going to sleep.
***
At the same time, in the other part of the Zephystrand's Citadel, Yvraine's chambers.
When Yvraine returned to the Zephystrand, she immediately locked herself in her chambers, not allowing anyone to enter, as she started at the Snow Rose for more than two hours straight while thinking over what had happened.
"Maybe it was a mistake? Or not?"
She said quietly to herself while she planted the Snow Rose in a small jar, which was specifically enchanted just for the Snow Roses. Suddenly as she was planning it, she felt that somebody was standing before the doors of her chambers, and she was able o tell that it was Samiel.
He stood there for several minutes as he talked to one of the maids who was on duty, before he left.
"Fuuu..."
She sighed with a bit of relief while returning to replanting the Snow Rose to an enchanted jar; she sat on the bed, taking out the Communication Magetech Device she used the last time to call her mother.
"Mother."
Yvraine said stoically; while her mother was happy that her daughter called her twice a month, this was a rare occasion.
"My little darling daughter is calling me again... so I take that you are calling me because you decided to grow bolder, am I right?"
Ilroraniel stated, as Yvraine, while being embarrassed, just nodded in agreement to this statement slash teasing from her mother.
Yvraine described what had happened, how they went on the trip to the Snowridge Mountains, how Samiel climbed to the peak of the Mountain Range, and on the top of Snowrose Peak, he brought her one of the Snow Roses.
She then proceeded to describe the situation that happened after he gifted her the Snow Rose, how she gathered all of the courage she had and probably even some of that she didn't and kissed Samiel passionately, and how he returned her kiss almost instinctively.
She could feel the emotions he had, and she was certain that he held some sort of feelings toward her.
Ilroraniel observed her daughter with a happy expression while she was delighted at the sudden development. As an overprotective parent, she was, immediately after the first conversation, she contacted High Lord Lanlaris Daragan to tell her everything he knew or his head would roll.
To say that her daughter was getting together with the current Holy Son of Hall of Kadath was shocking was an underestimation of the situation. With such a suitor, even her husband won't have anything to say, and even the entire Nesser Dynasty would benefit greatly from the such union.
"Then I can say you have succeeded."
Ilroraniel clapped happily at her daughter.
