My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 113: Ruby Evolves!

-----

Now that Frank was done with his Soul Core Creation, he decided to check out his stats, to see how much they had increased from reaching Level 14, the stat boost from absorbing Orb's Divine Power, and also from the Soul Core Creation itself.

"Oh alright… I got an amazing boost, 300 Mana and Magic?! Really? Am I allowed to have that much? And my defense is finally looking half-decent… Then there is my strength and agility at almost the same level. My resistance is pretty good, I may be able to take a few magic hits with my bare body now, I guess… My health points are okay, finally reached 200 if I take into consideration the stats from the equipment… All in all, a nice boost in everything, but I am not near as strong as that Scorpion…" thought Frank, analyzing his stats in detail.

"Wait… Where is my Soul Energy and Divine Power? They don't show as stats?" wondered Frank, Hades answered his question, despite him not having a system.

"Hm, I may have an idea why they don't show as stats, that's because they're not something that can be easily calculated, they're constant energy that resides inside of your soul. Also, your Mana could be considered to be their reflection, as Mana is produced inside the soul, the more mana you have, the stronger is your soul," said Hades.

"So I can't see them because they're converted into Mana? I guess that's why I got so much…" said Frank.

"Might be, but isn't that good? If you have a lot of Mana, you can use your Skills and Spells freely!" said Hades.

"Yes, I know. But still, I am a bit frightened by this power… Is it normal or not? I don't know. I just am a bit concerned. You know that a bit more than a week ago I was a completely normal person, right?" asked Frank.

"And you know that I was able to see part of your memories? I clearly know the shit you went through kid… But you are not normal at all… Not even before all of this," said Hades.

"That's… That hurt, you know? Sigh… Anyways, Ruby, time for your evolution!" said Frank.

Hades glanced at Frank as he sighed internally.

"Frank, you're not normal at all… The things you went through made you strong-minded… perhaps you don't realize it, or perhaps by realizing it, you feel like it would hurt you, but even the bad things that you experienced forged you into someone strong, don't be afraid," said Hades.

Frank stopped walking towards Ruby as he glanced at Hades with an annoyed expression.

"That's sounded cringe…" said Frank.

"What?! Are you calling the King of the Underworld cringe?! I was just trying to cheer you up, brat! You damn kid! I am not acting nice ever again, ungrateful brat!" roared Hades, as Frank smiled slightly and ignored him.

Frank walked towards Ruby who waved her tail excitedly, she wanted to evolve more than anything, and now Frank finally came to allow her.

"Ruby, it has been a bit more than a week since met you, but you have accompanied me in all of this since then… Let us keep walking through this path… It is time for you to evolve," said Frank with a gentle smile, petting Ruby's head.

"Grawr!" roared Ruby, waving her scaled tail, her entire body glowing brighter.

Ding!

[Ruby] can now Evolve]

[Trigger Evolution?]

[>YES NO]

"Yes."

Frank pressed the 'yes' button with his index finger, as Ruby was immediately enveloped in a cocoon of blazing red flames!

Flash!

"Eh?! So sudden…!"

Frank stepped back a bit alongside the rest of his party, as they glanced at the majestic change in appearance that Ruby underwent below the semi-transparent flame cocoon.

"She's getting bigger?" asked Orb.

"Lady Ruby will become a graceful and strong companion!"

"Roar!"

"She's… definitely growing bigger… h-hey, this isn't how the evolution went in the original game where she was…" said Frank.

Recalling the original game where Ruby was supposed to come from, her next evolution should bring her into a slightly changed form, with a few more horns growing on her body and a larger and sturdier cape of scales…

However, Ruby grew even bigger, already surpassing a bit more than two meters of height!

Her head grew in size as well as razor-sharp fangs filled them, her eyes flashed with golden and orange colors, and her red scales covered her body even more while releasing a shiny luster as if they had increased their quality.

Two large wings appeared behind her back, flapping energetically…

The small Ruby had grown into something greater.

However, Frank perceived that her body was now rather majestic, and had a certain resemblance to… a sea horse of sorts.

"Wait… this… No, it's just my imagination…"

Although it had wings in her front limbs that were extensive membranes that connected her front limbs with her torso like bats.

"Grawr!"

Although a bit fiercer and more serious, Ruby's new roar still held the cuteness that Frank was familiar with.

"Ruby…!" said Frank, impressed by her change.

"Oh? A Fire Wyrm?" asked Orb.

"Impressive, lady Ruby! I can't wait to evolve myself…" said Nezhit in excitement.

"Roar!" said Zhulong, he was the same as Nezhit.

Ginseng was not present, but he could feel that Ruby had grown stronger, although it quickly dismissed it and went to sleep again.

Ruby walked towards Frank, as she began to lick his entire face and torso with her large tongue, leaving him covered in saliva.

"Agh…! Stop! Haha…! You got so big now… How even will I get you around? Oh, you still can change your size, right?" asked Frank.

"Grawr!" said Ruby, changing into a smaller size, almost the same as her previous form, flapping her wings and sitting at Frank's shoulder.

She flew around the air as if she were a beautiful sea horse swimming, her appearance had indeed become quite graceful.

Frank decided to Inspect Ruby's status, finding out her abilities and her new stats, which fairly exceeded Frank's expectations.

"Amazing… you've really grown up a lot… So you are officially a Fire Wyrm now, Ruby… You even got the title…?" asked Frank, inspecting Ruby's new title.

"So that's where you got Intimidation… Interesting…" said Frank, although it seemed as if Ruby's Intimidation did not affect him.

"She looks like a sea horse! …Is that how Wyrms are supposed to look like?" asked Orb.

"Grawr!" roared Ruby.

"Lady Ruby had become even more majestic," said Nezhit.

"Roar!"

Zhulong seemed jealous of Ruby's new powerup and seemed dead set on getting its own powerful evolution soon.

"So everyone that evolves into a Wyrm gets this title… No, I guess it's all within my own system, so perhaps not outside of it…" said Frank with a bitter smile.

"Come to think about it, you got some interesting skills, Ruby," said Frank.

"Grawr!"

Frank decided to inspect Ruby's new Skills, as there were some that he didn't understand what they could do.

[Heat Nullification: Level -/-]
