Chapter 1155 Upgrading The City Walls And More
-----
Aquarina activated her newest Skill, an Aura of Darkness, Frost, and Oceans surged from her body. It resembled a combination of all the elements, but it quickly divided itself, revealing two sea dragons instead of one. One was composed of dark frost, the other was composed of swirling azure water and white frost. This was her Dual Aura, and it looked amazing!
"Looks strong, just by summoning it alone I can feel a boost to my power." She said. "Looks like the dark one enhances my strength, agility, and dexterity. While the other seems to increase my mana and magic power. It's different than yours I think." She giggled a bit. "Yours seems stronger I would say… Because you can easily get a boost to all offense or a boost to all defense, with bonus shields and healing!"
"But yours feels much more specialized, Aquarina! Don't say stuff like that." I laughed it off. "Also, it contains elements and probably abilities mine doesn't have. Right? Can it summon things?"
"Yeah!" She nodded with a smile. "With the Abyssal Frost Leviathan Aura, I can summon these guys!" She pointed the ground, summoning a myriad of black colored snakes made of swirling shadows and black frost.
They were around five meter tall each and could completely turn into shadows to hide and lurk behind the enemy and had deadly explosive darkness magic and piercing black cursed ice. Their ice was able to inflict foes with curses that weakens their stats and drains their life force, apparently! Pretty good.
"And with the other, I can summon these other guys."
Aquarina used her other Aura, the Azure Frost Sea Leviathan Aura this time, summoning sea snakes made of swirling sea water covered on armors of clear azure frost. These were able to turn into water and fire all kinds of magic, with explosive results. They were magicians specialized in long-ranged attacks, while the others were sneaky assassins, fitting of Aquarina.
"Nice, you got your own army of little Aura Summons now, Aquarina!" I congratulated her.
"Yeah I guess!" She smiled, feeling rather happy. "But I owe all of this power to you, Sylphy. Without you I would have never been able to grow this fast! Thanks a lot, really."
"You were already super strong before I even gave you the System Seed though, Aquarina." I giggled, a she hugged me tightly and then lifted me off the ground. "My System Seed just gave you a tiny bit of a boost, nothing more~"
"I think you give yourself too little credit for that." She smiled, as she kissed me passionately while holding me. I instinctively wrapped my legs around her hips, her hands grasping my rear tightly.
"Hmm~ I just recognize how hard you work, that's all." I gently separated my lips from hers, kissing her nose.
"You're way too good for me, Sylphy~" She giggled, kissing my neck. "Mooch, mooch! You deserve a rain of kisses for being such a cute and supportive girlfriend! Take this!"
"Hahaha, they tickle!" I giggled.
I ended playing with Aquarina for a little while. And what I mean by playing is kissing, giggling, and tickling one another while rolling on the grasslands like a pair of little girls lost in love.
But after that time alone was interrumpted by Selene coming back, we had to quickly cut it out. We couldn't just waste a whole day doing this…
"I-I'm sorry for interrupting your adorable moment together, Goddess Sylphy!" She cried. "But it seems that we've all successfully tamed the ant eggs! All soldiers got one now."
"A-Ah! Is that so? That's nice!" I smiled.
Ding!
[Your Civilization is progressing!]
[Most of your soldiers have now created a Familiar Contract with a powerful larval monster, who will grow into a strong riding beast.]
[You gained +200 Civilization EXP!]
[Civilization EXP]: [300/5000]
"So by doing stuff like this I also gain Civilization EXP, that's interesting." I nodded, rubbing my chin. "Now, Selene. How about we make two hundred houses while we are at it? I am not done here yet. I've accumulated a lot of EXP as well, so let's do a few tasks. Ah, there's also that Civilization Shop, right? Let's check that too, later."
"I can't believe it! The Goddess Sylphy will do more for us? How wonderful!" Selene was ecstatic.
As she followed us, I decided to spend more Dungeon Energy and build a few things. I used my Farming Skills to quickly build two hundred houses while spending minimum Dungeon Energy to "enchant" the houses and give them a little boost so they can be recognized by the system.
Later, I moved to the outside of the ever-growing village, there was a very weak-looking wooden wall, barely reinforced with some stones. I decided to fully upgrade it like I did with Agartha's walls, combining my Alchemy with Agricultural Arts Skills.
I took over the entire ground, wood I grew using more of my skills and magic, and then the Spiritual Energy of my Skills, and lastly, the Yggdrasil Knight's Domain. And then I synthetized it all together with a bunch of added materials from my inventory. I even added Mithril and giant chunks of Orichalcum because I had way too much after finding Sphynxiette.
FLAAASH!
And it was done, a giant, golden colored and majestic walls were made, covering the entire village's surroundings. The decorations resembled mighty roaring dragons. And the walls would expand and contract as the village grew inside. And it can be further reinforced with more Dungeon Energy and materials.
It wasn't 100% Orichalcum though, only the front coverture, the back was still a mixture of stone, ores, hard wood, and earth, but it was good enough. Lastly, by using even more of my Dungeon Energy, which I kept exchanging with my enormous quantities of EXP accumulated so far (I'm rich), I quickly upgraded the Palace to C Rank, without giving a care if it was too expensive or not, heh!
The entire village was once more upgraded as the Palace Ranked Up, the Stats of the Civilization skyrocketed.
