Chapter 728 Familiar Talent Bestowal
-----
The new Skill was simply phenomenal…
-----
[Familiar Talent Bestowal: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/20000
As a Grandmaster Summoner, your power over your own Familiars has grown even higher than before. Through the usage of Mana, you can "bestow" a variety of Talents into your Summoned Familiars. Each Familiar type is limited to one Talent, and different copies of the same familiar cannot get different Talents.
Once a Talent is given, it cannot change, but it will evolve alongiside the Familiar's Stats and Ranks as they grow stronger themselves. Talents can give a Familiar new Skills, Stat Boosts, Elements, and even new Evolutions.
As the Skill Level Increases, the stronger the bonuses given by Talents become.
-----
As long as it works as I thought. Talents are really the defining factor of a person's strength in this world by a lot. Although through Cultivation and other methods, such things only become an added plus, most people think of Talents as the only thing that could define who they are.
Being given the power to give them to my Summons feels almost like cheating, isn't this something only the Holy Spirits could do? Maybe they're slowly shaping me to become something similar to them, perhaps.
Nonetheless, it was worth giving it a try.
"Fenrir, come here."
FLASH!
"Woof! Yes, master?"
Fenrir appeared out of my own shadows, as he walked to my side, his huge body waging his tail happily after being called.
"I'll try out some new Skill on you, stay still." I said, as I began activating the Skill.
"Very well, master." Fenrir nodded obediently, unlike Vampire Spirits that have personalities and can go against their master's decisions, Familiars seem completely obedient of anything, and never doubt me at all. They're quite mechanical, in fact.
"[Familiar Talent Bestowal]"
FLAAASH!
A bright shine of light encompassed Fenrir's body, as I was suddenly given an option of what Talent could he take, which left me slightly surprised.
Ding!
[You have activated the [Familiar Talent Bestowal: Lv1] Skill on Familiar Fenrir.]
[Please choose one of these Talents for Familiar Fenrir. Once you choose one, you cannot change it anymore and it will become the Familiar's permanent Talent. However, through growth, it can develop into a stronger Talent.]
[Talent Options]: [Beast: ★] [Rogue: ★] [Werewolf: ★]
Those were certainly strange Talents, just Beast? And then… Werewolf? And lastly the simplest, Rogue. I can't see their details though, but I am guessing they'll give him some sort of power.
Beast could simply enhance his basic physical abilities, Rogue might increase his stealth, and Werewolf could quite possibility give all Fenrir the ability to shapeshift into a humanoid, lycanthrope form.
I already have Fang as my werewolf, but I do wonder what powers could it actually bring to the table? Maybe higher intelligence and sharper senses. The ability to wield weapons? Rogue seems good for his stealth-based abilities though, but doesn't he has a lot already?
Maybe going for an experimental Talent would be more fun, and it could give me more insight on what it could possibly do.
Ding!
[You have chosen the [Werewolf: ★] Talent!]
[Familiar: Fenrir] has acquired the [Werewolf: ★] Talent!]
[Familiar: Fenrir] Stats have increased and has gained New Skills, and a Title.]

-----
All his Stats increased permanently, but above all, he gained +1000 Intelligence, I knew it would make him smarter! He also acquired Transformation and Predation Skills, and lastly, the Lycanthrope Title.
"How do you feel, Fenrir?"
"Hmmm… I do feel quite thoughtful, master."
"Very well, use Transformation."
"AWOOOO!"
Giving a loud howl, Fenrir's body suddenly stood in two legs and grew large muscles on his upper half, slightly humanoid. His size increased by almost twice, towering like a huge behemoth.
Ding!
[Familiar: Fenrir] has undergone Transformation into his Werewolf Form!]
[While on this form, All Stats have increased by +500.]
[Due to the effects of the [Lycanthrope] Title, while transformed, Strength, Vitality, and Intelligence have increased by a further +300.]
[Transformation Duration: 30 Minutes.]
[Cooldown: 120 Minutes.]
So he can transform every two hours for thirty minutes and gets all these fantastical bonuses! And it is only a one-star talent, it seems Werewolf was the way to go.
"But what does Predation do?" I wondered.
"It seems it can allow me to regenerate HP and MP by devouring monsters, master!" Said Fenrir, now much more aware of his powers than before, must be all the Intelligence Stat he gained.
"I see, sounds like it could be very useful on big battles against many foes, so you and your kin can regenerate quickly and keep fighting, excellent." I laughed. "This was much better than I expected! How about we try giving Talents to a few more of you now?"
I quickly called the General Draco, General Titan, and General Arachne, as I wanted to give them Talents as my Generals, their Talent would be shared by all their iterations anyways. Giving it to my strongest soldiers would give the best results. Also, giving Talents cost a large quantity of Mana, so for now, I'll give it to these guys, and later on I'll distribute more Talents sparingly.
"Have you called us, master?" Draco asked with a solemn expression.
"It seems Fenrir has… changed." Titan pointed out while rubbing his bearded chin.
"He has become like Fang!" Arachne said. "Master, what magic is this?"
Although they were all obedient, they had slightly distinct personalities as they became Generals and gained the ability to speak. Draco was loyal and "wise", Titan was always analyzing everything, and Arachne was rather envious of others, and wanted my attention.
Perhaps these might be lingering emotions or natures of their original monster forms, or perhaps it is something that formed on their own completely, I'll never know.
"It's time for all of you to get some Talents, rejoice."
