Chapter 159
Zeke looked at the simulation results with a serious expression.
"Why were the points focused on passive skills that were already maxed out? There wasn't even any distribution to lacking skill proficiency or summon growth."
Karma points could be obtained by defeating monsters with magic power.
The Karma points Zeke had received so far were all system rewards.
But it turned out that the experience points needed for stat growth were set to be automatically distributed.
This was because the functions were activated in temporary administrator mode due to Zeke's ergency regression.
"It's a relief that I found out now, but it's a sha about all the points I wasted."
Zeke ran the distribution simulation and set the point distribution in the most efficient way.
Among other settings, there were functions to convert even system reward points into experience points and to receive experience points as reward points.
Giving up experience points would allow him to acquire more Karma points, which would be advantageous for using the shop or unlocking new skills, but he couldn't increase the proficiency of already unlocked skills.
Therefore, Zeke left the reward points as they were and only adjusted the ratio of experience points.
The stat he prioritized the most was 'Spirit Power.'
"So increasing soul rank ant increasing this stat."
Spirit Power, simply put, seed to refer to the power of the soul.
The Spirit Fusion Zeke used drew on the power of the soul and materialized his will.
In other words, the stronger his Spirit Power beca, the more powerful Spirit Fusion he could use.
Furthermore, there was another reason why he needed to increase his Spirit Power. It was sothing he newly learned.
"Draconian skills are based on Spirit Power?"
He had thought that Draconian skills, like active skills, were also based on mana from his dantian.
However, after reading the manual, he found that the power of Draconian skills had a higher correlation with the Spirit Power stat.
Zeke rembered that Dragon's Claw inflicted incurable wounds on the demonfolk.
Since it was a skill that worked with the power of the soul, it seed possible to directly damage the soul of a demonfolk.
If those Abyss guys who joined hands with Abel continued to summon demonfolk and magical beasts through contracts with demons, increasing his Spirit Power stat, which could directly damage souls, was a top priority.
Zeke finished setting the point distribution and entered the Summon Managent Settings.
Images of the summons Zeke had registered appeared as holograms.
When Zeke pushed the image with his hand, the next summon appeared.
"System, show the entire summon list."
Then, the appearances of all his summons were displayed before Zeke's eyes.
Bucephalus, Gurab, Nahuel, Richmond, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, and even the Guardians currently in hibernation were all shown as holograms.
Zeke selected Nahuel and checked the managent list.
While looking through the list, Zeke found the function he wanted.
"Here it is. Summon Growth and Evolution."
Although experience points could be automatically assigned to summons, it was also possible to assign Karma points received as rewards to increase their rank or level up their skills.
Zeke checked Nahuel's growth experience.
He needed more Karma points, skill proficiency, and Spirit Power to evolve into a Divine Beast.
"So evolution doesn't happen just by assigning Karma points."
It was the sa for other summons.
There was only one exception: Richmond.
"Richmond can grow by absorbing necromancer items or the power of undead and dragon-type monsters."
Since Richmond was a unique case, a forr undead monster who beca Zeke's summon due to having insignificant dragon bone fragnts mixed in, his growth thod was different from ordinary summons.
After finishing the summon managent settings, Zeke checked the equipnt list.
He paid the most attention to Bahamut, Teia's Hercyon, the Orichalcum sword, and the Woonchul sword with Arataso sealed inside.
When Zeke first selected the Orichalcum sword, a ssage window popped up.
[You can register and manage equipnt by naming it.]
"Naming?"
He had never nad any of his weapons except for Bahamut.
'Since I'm the only one who can use this sword right now anyway... and the princess ntioned it, it's better to na it and use it myself.'
Zeke thought about what na to give it for a mont. Then, a na ca to mind.
"Roland the Holy Knight."
When the Lubern dynasty grew into the Holy Empire, the one who made the greatest contribution was Roland Durandal, who led the Holy Knights with twelve Arch Paladins at the ti.
Widely known for the epic poem 'The Song of Roland,' he was known as the most knightly knight after the Dragon Slayer Terakan Draker.
Zeke nad the Orichalcum sword imbued with the power of an Arch Paladin after Roland Durandal.
[Registering the equipnt as 'Roland.']
As soon as the ssage appeared, the Orichalcum sword automatically appeared before Zeke, floating and emitting a bright light.
Zeke grabbed the holy sword Roland, which was emitting light.
At the sa ti, another ssage window popped up.
[Roland has been registered as equipnt.]
[Roland's durability is 82%.]
[It is recomnded to repair it when the durability falls below 60%.]
[You can increase Roland's stats through 'Enhancent.']
[Check the list of materials needed for equipnt enhancent and upgrade to a higher grade of equipnt.]
"I can enhance it to a higher grade?"
Zeke, surprised and pleased, checked the list of materials.
"Mithril, Blessed Holy Water? Why do I need gold and jewels?"
There were also several other minor materials needed.
It seed like it would beco an incredibly flashy sword.
Zeke, imagining himself holding a shiny, fancy sword, shook his head.
"Hmm, I guess I'll have to go to Atlas to get the materials."
Although there were materials that could be bought from the shop using Karma points, he had to save points as much as possible, so he planned to gather what he could.
Next, Zeke examined the sword.
[The equipnt is currently sealed.]
Since he had put the demonfolk Arataso inside and bound it with the Soul Sealing Technique, the sword's information wasn't activated.
Then, another ssage popped up.
[You can increase the stats of sealed equipnt through 'Enhancent.']
"I can enhance the stats of sealed equipnt?"
Zeke checked the enhancent list for the Woonchul sword, just like he did with Roland.
He needed quite a few rare materials, including Fairy Stones.
"I should try to get them when I'm gathering materials to enhance Roland."
Since he might have to face demonfolk like Arataso in the future, creating and enhancing sealed equipnt was important.
Zeke also checked the information of Bahamut and Teia's Hercyon.
Both of their current stats were sealed, so there was nothing he could do to enhance or strengthen them.
"I can assign Karma points, but I don't know how much they'll grow with just that."
He also needed to acquire the authentication code from the Temple of Teia to use all the sealed functions of Teia's Hercyon.
Finally, Zeke checked the skill information.
The screen changed, and his skills were displayed, connected like branches of a tree.
"Wow, what's this?"
Zeke's jaw dropped as he saw his skill tree.
So titles and skills were connected, while others were independent and separate.
"The title Dragon Knight and the Draconian skills are linked."
The title Dragon Knight and the skills Dragon Eye, Dragon's Majesty, and Dragon Scale Armor were connected.
Most of the Draconian skills were linked in one bundle, but there was one skill that was separate.
"Why is only the Gluttony skill separate?"
Only the Gluttony skill existed independently in the tree without any linked skills.
It was strange, but since he didn't fully understand the structure, and Gluttony itself was such a cheat skill, he didn't think much of it.
Zeke checked the skills in the skill tree that weren't properly connected yet.
"The Golden Sun Swordsmanship I acquired this ti and the Infinite Chain Link are linked together."
The True Dragon Sword Art, Dragon Slayer Technique, and Gale Wind, which had the sa roots, were also linked together.
In the case of the True Dragon Sword Art, it was linked with the Dragon slayer Technique and Gale Wind skills, and their skill proficiencies influenced each other.
In other words, if the skill proficiency of the True Dragon Sword Art increased, the proficiency of the Dragon Slayer Technique and Gale Wind would also increase.
On the other hand, although the Golden Sun Swordsmanship and the Infinite Chain Link were connected, the Infinite Chain Link wasn't registered as a skill yet.
"It seems like it's because I haven't properly mastered the Infinite Chain Link yet."
The True Dragon Sword Art was also registered and displayed in the status window only after he learned all the sword techniques and the proficiency increased, and Spirit Fusion was also registered as a skill only after he succeeded in using the double spell.
It seed that the Infinite Chain Link needed to be trained to a certain level before it could beco an official skill.
Zeke, looking at the interconnected skill tree, could grasp what he was lacking at a glance.
"The Soul Sealing Technique can be linked with Spirit Fusion. I haven't been able to use the Soul Sealing Technique properly because its proficiency is too low."
Since he mainly used swordsmanship, he had only used the Soul Sealing Technique as an auxiliary weapon to restrain demonfolk.
However, since it was also a technique left as a legacy by Terakan Draker and was related to his Spirit Fusion ability, it seed like it could be even more useful.
Zeke looked at the skill window and planned his future training.
When he returned to Atlas, he planned to focus on training to improve his lacking areas for a while.
After checking all the skill windows, Zeke decided that it would be too much to check other detailed functions here and closed the system window for now.
'The system structure is more complicated than I thought. It'll take quite so ti to get used to this as well.'
What bothered him was that he still didn't know the true nature of this system.
He could understand that he beca the administrator of the Kabbalah system through the Elder Dragon's relic, but nothing important was revealed.
He didn't even know what the Kabbalah system was.
'I can't grasp who made this system, why, and for what purpose.'
The functions were too advanced for humans to have created it.
And it was too cumberso for dragons to have made it for their own use.
Dragons were the strongest beings from birth.
They didn't need systems or skills like this.
Since they could freely wield miraculous magic just by breathing, there was no need for them to go through such a troubleso process.
Then, a thought occurred to Zeke.
"Did dragons create it for humans?"
Kaisir said that humans were the most beloved beings to dragons.
If dragons created this system as a way for weak humans to beco stronger, the cumberso thods made sense.
Zeke recalled his past mories.
"Terakan could definitely see the system window. He also used the Secure Archive."
Based on the information Zeke currently had, the most plausible hypothesis was that dragons granted their contractors administrator privileges to use the system.
If that was true, it could also explain how Terakan Draker was able to control the protective bases and fight giant magical beasts and dragons as an Immortal class.
In fact, it seed sowhat plausible since he was forcibly transferred here from the ark while searching for the relic that Terakan Draker had arranged.
"And if the being who created this system is the 'Elder Dragon'..."
Zeke first acquired the system because he obtained the Elder Dragon's relic.
Arthur Draker and the Emperor of the Empire, who were exploring this ruin, also made every effort to find the 'Elder Dragon's relic.'
Although it wasn't immortality, it made sense if they were trying to obtain the system administrator abilities that Zeke possessed.
"When I first regressed, it said that the Elder Dragon's soul rged with my soul and activated the system."
As he pieced together the fragnted information, the outline seed to beco sowhat clearer.
Zeke nodded and slowly got up from his seat.
"If my Spirit Power increases and my soul rank rises, I might be able to beco a high-ranking administrator from an interdiate administrator. Then, I might be able to get more information."
Continuously holding onto unanswered questions wasn't very helpful for progress.
Zeke decided to do what he could first and solve the mystery of the Kabbalah system later.
He opened the map to see if he could move with a portal to escape secretly.
"Oh, I can open a portal. Good."
He could move near the Ice Mountains by consuming 100 Karma points.
It was better to spend 100 points than to worry about being caught by the Black Martial Squad.
Zeke unsummoned Bucephalus and imdiately opened a portal.
Woooong!
With a vibrating sound, Zeke disappeared from the ruins.
