Mercenary System: I can increase innate potential ! Chapter 113 New effect and mercenary progression

[Please see talent details for more information].

Maxi imdiately opened the Talent page to find out more.

[Talent Nox Limit - Level 2 (0/10,000)

Enhanced existing effects:

- Increases the effectiveness of any training by 600% of all those belonging to the rcenary group mber.

- Increases the talent of all rcenary group mbers by two ranks.

- Shout NOX LIMIT can increase the performance of all individuals in the group by 50% for 45 minutes. Recharge ti 3 days.

New effect unlocked:

Exclusive contract: Enables you to enter into a contract with any individual, forcing them to obey the contracting party forever.

"10,000 gold coins the next upgrade...I guess that's to be expected seeing how powerful the talent is."

"Regarding the upgrades, the effectiveness of the training has been increased from 500% to 600%, while the active effect now lasts 45 minutes instead of 30 minutes before, and the recharge ti has been reduced from 7 days to 3 days."

"That's pretty good."

Maxi was rather pleased with these two improvents; these two effects were very important to him, since they were very strong.

So every little improvent in these effects was worth celebrating.

But among the effects of his talent, these two were not the most powerful.

[Increases the talent of all mbers of the rcenary group by two ranks].

This short description made her breathless.

His heart rate was increasing rapidly.

"Two ranks!"

"Two whole ranks of enhancent!"

He knew what it ant.

From now on, even the weakest of his rcenaries would be able to reach 3 physics points.

The few rcenaries with four-star talent would be able to reach 4 physique points and thus have a strength level equivalent to that of a knight after a certain amount of training.

Five-star rcenaries, on the other hand, can reach 5 physics points, making them virtually invincible below the level of a grand knight.

But at that stage, it was no longer a matter of months of training, but of years.

It wasn't that easy, even with Maxi's talent, to reach this level of strength.

In any case, in a very short ti, the 75 rcenaries remaining in Plouta would all reach the level of apprentice knight.

"But what exactly does this new effect consist of, can you tell more system?"

Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire

[As ntioned, it allows a contract to be signed between the host and an individual, and forces the individual to obey the host].

Maxi looked up at this answer, as if this system was taking him for a fool.

"No, but rather what the contract grants and its limits."

[Regarding the benefits of the contract, the contracted party automatically gained the ability to speak the Frankish language. He also got the blessing of the host's talent, even if he didn't beco a rcenary].

[Concerning the limits, the success rate of signing the contract depends on the strength of the host and the contracted party, as well as the contracted party's willingness to sign the contract or not].

"I see, I guess I'll see on the spot once I try it out."

"But this new effect is really strong."

Maxi was already thinking of many applications.

For example, he could already try signing a contract with Piran soldiers in the real world and let them sneak into positions of high responsibility.

And in critical battles, they could suddenly help the human race.

With the blessing of his talent, no matter how weak the Piran soldier was at first, he would beco at least as strong as an apprentice knight.

So he wouldn't remain just a soldier, and could achieve a position of responsibility.

In the world of Eternity he could try to subdue orcs, and try to learn their moves in advance.

"I'll definitely do that!"

Maxi was already excited at the prospect of ambushing these orc armies.

The sa armies that had co close on several occasions to wiping out a village in front of him and slaughtering thousands of villagers.

The sa orcs who had almost killed him and all his elite n.

A third application of this talent could be to ta powerful animals and use them as mounts.

Finally, Maxi had in mind a fourth application of this talent that he would make in the long term, and this thod could be the one that would keep him at the top of both the world of Eternity and the real world.

[There's also a limit to the number of contracted, which is one contracted per point of the host's physics].

[This ans that a host with a current physics of 3.95 has 3 slots.]

" 3,95 ! "

Maxi hadn't imagined that he now possessed such a strong physique.

[Counting bonuses, the host can reach 4.94 physique points].

This ti, Maxi was more than shocked.

Even most teachers in the real world weren't as strong as he was now.

Perhaps only Riva, a rcenary from the juggernault group, could have a level of strength superior to his own.

He clenched his fist gently, and felt it overflowing with strength and power.

With a single punch, he could destroy the walls of his school.

"Baron Barthon, wait for impatiently."

"I'll punish you myself for all the evil you've caused in this world."

But Maxi cald down, it wasn't ti yet.

He was more impatient to see his n's talents evolve.

After all, his strength alone was still limited.

Only by relying on a powerful army could he accumulate enough power to protect his family.

"System displays the list of rcenaries, and displays in brackets their physique from two weeks ago to see how they've evolved."

...

"Charles, Ultia and Henry have really made incredible progress."

Compared to the older mbers of the group, their speed of progress was truly phenonal.

Most of them were starting to reach their limits, so progress was starting to get really slow.

"Ivan and Wigor also made very good progress."

Obviously, Maxi knew Ivan and Wigor well and had spoken with them on several occasions.

He'd even asked Killian to take care of them.

Talent deserved more attention.

"But what happened with Liam?"

Maxi had a certain impression of Liam; he was naturally weak, weaker than most of the other villagers.

But Maxi thought that with his talent, it wouldn't be long before he outshone all the potential 2-stars in the group.

But as it turned out, he wasn't even as fast as them; on the contrary, he was slightly slower.

"I don't rember Liam having a talent before."

That was the only change compared to before, Liam now possessed a talent nad "Phantom Swordsman".

"I guess I'll ask him when we get back to Plouta."

"By the way, it should be just under a week and a half since we left Plouta, so in total, it must have been a month since I returned to Eternity."

"So it's still about a month and five days since my first experience lasted two months and five days."

"And they've improved that much in just two weeks?"

"Innate potential can really be unfair..."

"But I guess the world is fair, progression can be rapid but you can hit the ceiling very quickly."

Of course, even the famous rcenary captain of the Silver Knights, who had 5-star potential, hadn't progressed as quickly as Charles, Henry and Ultia.

Considering they'd only had 4-star potential in the last two weeks.

Maxi's talent was just too powerful.

As for Garen, Lira, Jean and the rest of the rcenaries from Ventbois, progress was still minimal compared with the other rcenaries, as they had only been with the Saber-toothed Tigers for a few days.

But with the help of the apprentice knights, they had made significant progress in a short space of ti.

After seeing how much his n had improved, Maxi was eager to test their strength.

He went to a training ground and grabbed a blade designed for practice.

He placed himself in front of a steel-reinforced training dummy, normally designed to withstand knightly strikes.

He adopted a basic posture, his feet anchored to the ground, his arms perfectly aligned.

His face seed particularly serious, while his breathing was perfectly regular.

Silence settled over the training ground.

Only the sound of the wind could still be heard.

Then, with one precise, fluid stroke, he sliced the dummy in two. The tal gave way as if the blade were a legendary weapon with an exceptional cutting edge.

But it was just an ordinary training blade.
