BXBX NOVEL Chapter 619 Growing Stronger
"GRAAAHH!"
As the whole Hollow Legion died, three other Hollows, weaker but still big, approached me, attacking me with their bodies, as their bodies shapeshifted into huge fists and tentacles, attempting to pummel me down.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
However, my clothes suddenly shone brightly, gaining a coverture made out of golden scales. By absorbing my own Mana, this Dragon Scale protection was conjured almost constantly.
The attacks from the Hollows were completely ineffective against my body. As it felt like their blows were simply hitting a huge metallic wall.
"[Yggdragon\'s Magic Aura]!"
FLAAASH!
A Magical Aura surged from my body, fusing with the magical power of the Ring I crafted, as the huge draconic head of my Yggdragon Avatar emerged from it, roaring furiously and biting apart the Hollow in front of me!
CRAAAAASSSH!
"Oh, so that\'s how it works?" I wondered. "How about this?"
I quickly moved my hand, the Yggdragon Aura then changed its shape into a huge draconic claw, crushing the second Hollow pestering me.
BAAAAAMMM…!
"Amazing… How, and what about the tail?!"
I imagined such a thing, and the aura immediately responded to my own visualization, as a huge draconic tail swept through the floor, destroying two more Hollows in close proximity, the force of the impact was enough to make their bodies splatter into pieces.
Okay, that was pretty amazing! Time to grind and clear the city off these annoying guys as much as possible.

[You have absorbed a large quantity of Mana.]
[Dozens Runes have been inscribed within the Magic Circle.]
[Your Magic Circle has grown stronger.]
[Your Magic Power has improved.]
[Your Physique has absorbed the essence of several high-quality Materials.]
[Hundreds of Physique Runes have been inscribed across your Body.]
[Your Physique has improved from Tier 1 Rank 7 to Tier 1 Rank 9.]
[Several New Physique Techniques have been created: [Yggdragon\'s Scale Skin] [Lesser All Element Resistance] [Physical Damage Reduction]!]
[Your Physical Strength, Stamina, Dexterity, and Agility have increased.]
After spending an hour hunting Hollows, we finished by absorbing most of the Hollow Crystals we got, after purifying them, and also we used the same crystals to enhance our physiques and absorb some of the materials from the Great Dragons we absorbed.
None of us had yet to reach Tier 2 in Physique though, and we still had a bit more to go before reaching such an height. Above all, my Magic Circle hasn\'t improved either, I\'ll need to feed it much more Mana for it to increase properly.
Nonetheless, I still got a lot of amazing new Physique Techniques through the improvements! And my body felt much stronger and sturdier as well. I gained Lesser All Element Resistance, which reduces a bit of damage from elemental attacks, and Physical Damage Reduction, which does the same but for physical attacks.
Yggdragon\'s Scale Skin is like a slightly weaker passive form of the Dragon King\'s Scale Protection from my armor, and it doesn\'t need any Mana to activate, so that\'s always a plus in my book.
Everyone else overflowed with new and stronger magical auras, so it could be said we definitely grew a bit stronger.
"Phew! Well, how about we go back to my house to eat something?" I said carefreely.
"Oh yeah, anything that you make would be nice." Mark smiled.
"I need to go back home and prepare lunch already, so I\'ll have to skip that, Elayne." Rita sighed.
"I can join if you don\'t mind!" Lily gently said.
"Geehh… How can you guys be so relaxed after all of that?!" Jenny cried. "You\'re all insane…!" She was complaining a lot.
I guess I couldn\'t blame her, she worked harder than any of us and was constantly fighting those weak Hollows because of her lack of practice and physical fitness.
"Well, eventually you\'ll slowly get stronger and not get tired as much." I said. "But you did well, Jenny. If you want, you can come to my house to have lunch."
"Ugh… W-Well, maybe I\'ll help myself with that…" Jenny sighed. "Alright…"
Like that, after dropping Rita back in her house, we moved to my own and I quickly started cooking something. My daughter was with her friends playing in the garden, a rare sight. They seemed rather invested on gardening for some reason, I guess they wanted to do something else than playing BNLO at long last.
"Mom, did you noticed the tomato tree I planted back then? It has grown a lot. I saw it had small green tomatoes." Elena commented.
"Is that so? Sounds nice." I giggled. "I\'ll make a tasty salad with them once they grow big enough."
"Yeah, but doesn\'t it feel weird? I didn\'t knew tomatoes could grow so fast…" She said.
"A-Ah, well, maybe it is the mana in the air now that those gates opened back then?" I wondered. "I did read somewhere that they are slowly affecting nature and stuff."
"Huh… I didn\'t thought about that. I wonder… if they could become magic tomatoes. Maybe they would fetch a good price?" Elena saw an opportunity.
"Hmmm… I dunno, I don\'t think so? They\'re just tomatoes at the end of the day, dear." I giggled.
Though… Now that I think about it, can\'t I make actually magical tomatoes and other foods? I could easily mass produce these and sell them as super food for Hunters, which would help them recover Mana and Vitality quickly, or even give them temporary stat boosts.
I might begin doing that later, I could also just do that in BNLO and just bring the vegetables and fruits from there, I\'ve been expanding my farm a lot lately, now spreading it all around the forest of beginnings thanks to the walls I set up, with that I don\'t have to worry too much about monsters eating the vegetables, nor players trying to steal them.
It could be an easy way to profit without having to craft anything, so I might try that out later. I guess I have to thanks my daughter for reminding me of that possibility, I honestly been having my mind filled with a bunch of things, naturally, sometimes I can\'t remember the simplest of things because of this.
Nonetheless, after lunch, its time to log-in back into Arcadia.
