“It was that easy?”
I asked in utter disbelief.
“Bork!”
Guess I still would have had to stop her from moving to give her G?kb?rü’s blood but…
“I see.”
Despite the massive firework show caused by lightning Blanche looked alright except for the wounds I gave to her. Perhaps she was resistant to her own mana. Her clothes were fully destroyed though. Thankfully bag of holding was fine.
“Maybe it is made out of resistant material. Or had some kind of protection magic on it.”
It made sense. I opened it and pulled out two health potions. I poured one into Blanche’s mouth and shared the other one with G?kb?rü. I felt a warm feeling wash over me as my wounds started to heal. I sat down and G?kb?rü climbed onto my lap. He put his head down. He must be tired.
(Your partner wants to share the passive skill “Regeneration” with you. Do you accept?)
I patted his head.
“There is no need, you doofus. Focus on healing yourself.”
I checked his wound. It was hard since his fur was too fluffy. I had to push large amounts of fur just to see his wound.
“It is not too deep. Do you heal this fast or wound wasn’t deep as I thought.”
He raised his head. Suddenly, ice shards formed under his jaw.
“Oh. Did you shield yourself with ice?”
“Bark!”
“Smart boy.”
I scratched the back of his oversized ears as he wagged his tail.
“Thank you but never do it again, do you understand?”
He tilted his head to the side, his ears moving with his head. Then he let out an angry bark.
“Bark! Bark! Bark! Growl!”
“Hey, what’s with you?”
He nibbled on my armor. Is he angry because I told him to don’t sacrifice himself for me? If so, why? It isn’t even a day since we met. Maybe it is something like imprinting? Does he think I am his parent? Well, thinking about it he was born out of my and Wolf King’s mana.
I am his parent?
Okay, I don’t think I am ready for this kind of responsibility so I am going to deal with it the best way I know: By not thinking about it. It was rather easy now since I had a lot of other things to think about. Firstly, I took off my cloak and wrapped Blanche in it. It was hard to focus when you had a butt-naked lady lying beside you. And not in a sexy way. She was bruised and wounded and even with the health potion I gave to her healing was slow.
Uhum. I knew that she was resistant to cold but her wounds coupled with blood loss could lead her to weaken. That’s the way I wrapped her into an ugly-looking burrito. My skills in those type of things were especially bad.
“Well, I guess it is fine as long as it is warm?”
“Bark!”
G?kb?rü barked reassuringly. At least I thought it was reassuringly. Anyways.
I knew that my armor looked different now. Of course, I couldn’t see my entire body without a mirror but the change was apparent. My armor was bulkier and covered more places. For example my head, you know, the most important part of my body. Also for some reason my hair, at least the strands that fell to my face was grey. While this wasn’t the first time I had grey hairs since I was an old man before…
“Oh God, I am turning into an edgy anime character.”

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.Wow, no wonder I was able to fucking clap Blanche like that.
Uhum.
I meant with a power boost like this it was normal I was able to pacify Blanche.
Now, let’s look at the new skills:
(Armory of the Fallen: You are a soldier. A warrior. For you being without a weapon is not an option. You can absorb any weapon you are familiar with and gain stats according to that weapon. Using mana you can summon copies of that weapon. You cannot absorb duplicates. For you to gain stats weapons must be above a certain level. At your current level, you can absorb up to 10 weapons. Other people can’t use your summoned weapons.)
While I was salty about the name, I had to admit it was an awesome skill. It was like G?kb?rü’s Predation skill but even better! While it had more restrictions it also had more uses. I looked at my sword and shield. They were damaged because of the constant combat they saw but they were good for a test.
(Your familiarity with Cruel King’s Longsword is 100 percent. Do you want to proceed?)
Yes, I thought to myself. Shadows wrapped around it and it faded away.
(Your strength and agility increases by 2.)
(You can summon a copy of Cruel King’s Longsword.)
(Absorbed weapons: 1\10)
By thinking about it I summoned a copy of it. It appeared in my hand. But… It looked different? It was grey, well greyer. Its shape was also slightly different. I liked it though.
(Cruel King’s Longsword Copy)
(Power: 13)
(Durability: 150\150)
(Tyranny of King: If you inflict a major wound on a living being with it, you have a 20 percent chance to raise your strength or agility stat by 5 for 1 minute. Whichever stat gets raised will be decided randomly.)
Wait, why is it weaker? I shook my hand and it turned into shadows and disappeared. Okay, cool. I can just dispel them if I wanted to.
The option was the same but Power and Durability were lower. Okay, let’s calm down. I closed my eyes and focused. I thought of my sword and how it felt in my hands. Its weight and balance. I opened my eyes and it was in my hands.
(Cruel King’s Longsword Copy)
(Power: 15)
(Durability: 250\250)
(Tyranny of King: If you inflict a major wound on a living being with it, you have a 20 percent chance to raise your strength or agility stat by 5 for 1 minute. Whichever stat gets raised will be decided randomly.)
I see. Maybe that’s why I had to be familiar with the weapon I absorbed. It wasn’t a requirement for the skill to be activated but a requirement for the skill to be useful. I had to focus and remember the weapon I was trying to summon for it to be summoned at its full capabilities.
“I need to train if I want to use it mid-combat.”
It wasn’t that big of a deal. I had to make calculations mid-combat when I used my power armor, how hard could remembering some weapons be?
I absorbed my bow, dagger, spear, shield, and axes.
(Absorbed weapons: 6\10)

Stat growth wasn’t that drastic. Considering my sword which was my best weapon gave a total of 4 points it was normal.
(Mythical Beast’s Partner: Very few people have the chance to get close to a Mythical Beast in their lives. You didn’t just get close but also managed to become partners with them.)
(+10 Mana)
(+10 Charisma)
Hmm, it was simple. It was kind of refreshing actually. It also was effective with +20 points.
“So that’s why my Armor Collapsing Claw was better. My maximum mana increased thanks to this title.”
I said as I remembered the first part of my battle against Blanche.
“Hey, here is the question: Is your blood a permanent cure? Does she need to drink it several times?”
G?kb?rü tilted his head to the side.
“So you also don’t know.”
Hmm.
“Okay, this might hurt a little. I will give you another health potion after this.”
I said as I cut a small opening in G?kb?rü’s paw and drew blood to one of the emptied flasks.
“Okay, just for the record: This definitely didn’t come from you. It was… One of the rewards?”
I said as I looked at the huge chest in front of me. When did it appear?
The reason why I didn’t want Blanche to know it was G?kb?rü’s blood was if she knew she could lock him somewhere and use him as a blood bank until he dries out.
Even without it drinking blood was a little bit… Don’t want to think about it. Anyways, let’s check the rewards. I know I got angry at Duncan for checking the rewards without Blanche but there could be something to help her.
