Chereads / Core of the Maddening Abyss / Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

I have waited for quite a while, so long that my mana is now full. I can finally create another Intelligent Gobwolf since the previous one has perished. I begin assembling her body, organs, and brain meticulously. Once everything is in place, I eagerly await her awakening. This time, I have made a female Gobwolf to see if there will be any noticeable differences when utilizing mana.

Before proceeding further, I realize that I forgot to assess her stats.

**************************************************************************

As I suspected, her stats appear to be similar to those of the previous mage. It seems that there are no significant differences thus far.

*************************************************************************

Requirements Met

A Monster Can Attain Freewill

Do You Allow It

[yes] [No]

*************************************************************************

Despite my initial hesitation, I am tempted to select "yes" and see what unfolds. Considering that she currently lacks any skills or abilities, I believe it might be a manageable situation, and I could potentially emerge victorious if a confrontation were to occur.... I have made up my mind and move my tendrils of mana towards [yes].

*************************************************************************

A Minion Has achieved Freewill

Please Give It A Name

[....]

*************************************************************************

Well, I had thought more world happen, but since things have turned out differently, I might as well proceed with giving her a name. After some consideration, I've settled on the name "Vexa." It feels appropriate and fitting, so I'll go ahead and stick with that choice.

Hmm, Vexa's status has changed? Could she have become more powerful or gained new abilities? The only way to determine the truth is to investigate further.

Wow, that's quite a lot of information to process. It's even more than my own menu. Let's break it down:

First, the name has changed to Vexa. Not much to say about that.

Instead of "Creature," it is now called "Race." I'm not sure why the system changed it, and unfortunately, it won't provide an explanation.

Next is "Alignment." It's a new addition, and it shows as "evil." Given that I'm a Dungeon core and I've been killing or attempting to kill everything in sight (unless it's too strong), it's not too surprising.

"Creator" indicates that I created Vexa. I'm not sure why it says this now, though.

"Evolution" is at 0%. It's self-explanatory, but I wonder if it will happen over time or if Vexa needs to fulfil specific conditions to increase it.

"Loyalty" is indicated as absolute. At least the system tells me if Vexa is loyal to me or not, but I can assume she is, given the "absolute" aspect.

It seems Vexa can have a class, which is quite exciting. It would have been useful if all my minions had this option. The system says, "Please choose" next to it, so I assume I have to make a decision. I'll do that shortly.

Lastly, there's "Willpower." It makes sense that it begins to exist now, considering Vexa has freewill. At least, I assume it's related to freewill.

Now, let's go back to the class selection. I'll press "Please select" to choose Vexa's class now.

Classes

*************************************************************************

Swordsman: [slash] [parry]

Archer: [Hawkeye] [Sharp shot]

Mage: [Mana Manipulation] [Mana Blast]

Unholy Priestess: [Unholy Pact] [Unholy Strike]

*************************************************************************

Okay, well, those are the available classes. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I do want her to be a mage. However, I'm a bit confused about the Unholy Priestess class. What exactly is an Unholy Priestess? Well, I do know what it is, but what does it entail? Anyway, I'll just move on. I'm certain I want her to be a mage, so I choose [Mage].

**************************************************************************

Congratulations

Vexa has obtained the skills

Mana Manipulation (1)

Mana Blast (1)

**************************************************************************

Looks like the system doesn't provide much information about the class details. I'll have to find out more about it on my own later. For now, let's proceed. I should check Vexa's stats to see if the chosen class has any impact. Additionally, it seems that both of the skills she has acquired start at level (1), which is a good starting point compared to (0).

Wow, it appears that Vexa has received a significant boost to her mana, increasing from 7 to 20. This makes her easily my most powerful minion yet. Speaking of which, it seems she wanted to sleep while I was going through all this information.

I decide to let her rest for now, and once she wakes up, I'll instruct her to focus on improving her mana and creating skills that utilize it.

Now, let's turn our attention back to these staffs. One has a green gem, while the other has a red gem. Aside from the gem colour, both staffs appear to be made of the same material—dark wood. I'm not sure what specific type of wood it is, as my knowledge of trees is mostly derived from Minecraft. Regardless, I should investigate the gems first, and then examine the wood, which seems like regular wood in any case.
