BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1027: Specialization Rank Up
And honestly…
"We don\'t really understand either…" I shrugged.
"It\'s a total mystery, actually." Mark said.
"Huh, oh well, there\'s nothing we can do about it, I suppose." Ambil sighed. "More importantly, we still got a few hundred more equipment we have to deliver to the King."
"I know, I\'ll start working on it right away. We also got to do a lot of things ourselves." I nodded. "{Divine Yggdryad Avatar}"
I activated my Heart of the Forest Ability, summoning three Avatars out of my own body, which looked almost identical to me. The maximum amount of "Avatars" was four, and there were now four, including me.
After all, I also count as an "Avatar", this body I\'m controlling and moving is, after all, an extension of my truest body, which is within the Forest of Beginnings, protecting everything.
That gigantic tree that only continues to grow, yeah, that one. I suppose I can also create a Divine Yggdryad Avatar there for "instant teleportation" if I discard one of these, but I can\'t bring my friends along though.
"Alright, time to work."
I controlled the three other Avatars seamlessly thanks to my [Myriad Minds] Skill, and sent them to the Smithy underground, with Ambil, they quickly began working.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
The sound of hammers hitting heated metal was already echoing through the smithy, my three Avatars were quick and even more efficient than myself, as I gave them basic commands and they followed them like robots.
With that said, with these Avatars, I no longer need to work myself, so I\'ll leave them doing my job for the moment. There are quite a few things we need to take care of before even departing towards the Queen.
One of them is to assess our rewards, we got a bunch of items in the dungeon raid, amongst them there\'s a Specialization Marble I obtained, and many Skill Evolution and Fusion Tickets, and treasure chests.
Also, there\'s the whole side quest about those Spirits I sent to get the Demonic Idols spread across the city, which were catalysts strengthening the foundations of a Demonic Domain the Cultists were creating.
However, what\'s even more important right now is to evolve!
I just received a DM from Rita and Lily, and they were going to log-in in a couple of minutes, so it\'s better to evolve first, as that often tends to influence my new fused or evolved skills, then move on to do the rest.
I discussed this with Mark as we ate some of the food I had just finished cooking, yet another feast for my friends, which were already coming out of the Time Realm. Yes, I also texted Acorn and Nieve, and they were coming out.
And about Brisingra, I preferred to not bother her for now. Because I wanted to earn enough Divine Gourmet Essence to get to the one million, I cooked a lot of food, and I mean a lot!
It was easy to cook with the assistance of over fifty Cooking Spirits I summoned using my Spirit Alchemy Cooking Skill, and of course, by growing over a dozen arms and hands.
I made enough food to feed a whole battalion…
Ding!

I pressed "yes" without hesitation, as I felt the reserves of my Divine Gourmet Essence rapidly empty, only being left with 150k!
FLASH!
Within the depths of my soul, I felt my strength rapidly surging, the power of the Specialization felt like a small golden orb, a marble of divine power connected to the very core of my existence.
As it absorbed the Divine Gourmet Essence, it spread out countless root-like divine runes made of golden energy, the Divine Gourmet Essence flowed rapidly, resembling rivers of rich essence.
"It\'s done…"
My Aura surged through my Soul, the power of the Divine Gourmet Essence seemed to spread everywhere, the food gained Auras, strengthening the flavors, appearance, and nutritional value even further.
