Will of chaos

I was very surprised by the big changes in my status, my abilities are as I imagined, but I was mainly surprised by the amount of spiritual power I have.

If I remember correctly I should only have gained (+150) EP (Spiritual Power) after recovering from my soul wounds, does that mean I had 500 EP, or is that the reason I have such a large amount of spiritual power is that I managed to create that astral body?

I can't think about it right now, I don't know anything about spiritual energy, souls, or the spiritual body, so I'll think about it when I have the necessary knowledge.

When I look at this amount of abilities and bloodlines I see how much I need that ability [ Synthesis: 1 ].

I also find the skills and titles I gained yesterday, I will use my [ Identify: 2 ] skill to find out more about them.

Ding!

<[ Skills identification result:

• [ Fairy Contract ]--> allows you to form a contract with a Fairy.

<[ Result of identification of titles:

This title represents the strong connection between the owner and the hired Fairy.

The titles are as I imagined, I even identified the title [ Friend of the Spirits ] that I received when I met Kira to try to compare it with the title [ Friend of the Fairies ] and realized that it has the same effects, the title that represents my contract with Layla allows me to use my abilities through her that might be easier than I did with Diana when she was in danger.

It seems that all titles have good effects that will help me a lot in the future.

The skills are also as I expected, but I'm surprised at the cost of the skill [ Mark of Concealment ].

Even with my current MP amount, the cost to use this skill on someone else is too high.

I look again at my stat to confirm that those two abilities were there, but I don't seem to be able to see abilities sealed in my stat.

I really wanted to identify those two abilities, I missed an excellent opportunity when the mysterious woman released the ability seal [ Blood Pact ], I could have identified this ability, but I was thinking about it too much and missed the opportunity.

Sigh

I stop thinking about these things and focus on this starry sky, it just soothes me and makes me forget all these problems and worries.

"Why are you sighing, master?"  (Layla)

"It's nothing, I was just checking my status and I realized I still have a lot to do."  (I)

"You spend too much time worrying about everything, you should have more fun."  (Layla)

"I can have fun when we have a more stable life, for that, we need a safe place, money, and strength."  (I)

"Right now we don't have any of the three."  (I)

"With some effort, we can earn money and get EXP in the Dungeon."  (I)

"I want to go too."  (Layla)

"I'll only let you go with us if you're able to use your elemental powers correctly."  (I)

"I'll make an effort starting tomorrow, I certainly won't miss the opportunity to beat up some monsters."  (Layla)

Layla and I spent some time talking on the porch of my room, we were lying on the porch floor watching the starry sky, after some time I went to my bed to sleep and Layla slept beside me.

Two weeks later:

These two weeks were very productive, I concentrated on leveling up just my Elemental Affinity type skills and magic skills.

I was only able to train so many skills because I used the parallel thinking skill all the time to always be training two skills at the same time.

Today I was lying on the floor of my bedroom balcony, it was already getting dark when Kira came to talk to me.

"Master here is the information you asked for, I could only find an Alchemist with the characteristics you wanted."  (Kira)

"That's enough, thank you Kira."  (I)

"Do you plan to capture this Alchemist?"  (Kira)

"If he's that bad, then I'm going to kill him."  (I)

"Even if I found an Alchemist, it's going to be a little difficult to get to him."  (Kira)

"Why?"  (I)

"He is always being protected by ten Grade C adventurers."  (Kira)

"Do you know where he is? Do you know if he's ever been alone?"  (I)

"All of this is in the information I gave you."  (Kira)

"But the answer is yes when he is in his laboratory he is alone making drugs and potions that he tries on orphans and people in the poorest part of the city that are handed over to him by the criminal organization he works for."  (Kira)

"But even so, your security guards are always hanging around the building and there's always someone at the entrance to the room where the Alchemist's laboratory is, and there's also always one or two people under the window watching from the outside."  (Kira)

"I'll think of something, thanks Kira."  (I)

After talking to Kira I go over everything that happened in these two weeks to see if we have everything ready.

Anton and Tânia have already delivered our equipment, as promised are combat clothing and armor resistance against magical attacks and physical damage, Anton also made weapons for everyone the way we asked.

In these two weeks Freya, Sophia, and Leo became adventurers, their ratings are Freya Grade -B, Sophia Grade +C, and Leo Grade -C.

Another thing that happened during these two weeks is that Layla learned to control and use in combat the five elements she already had before but is still having difficulty with the dark and light elements.

I also improved in my studies of magic, now I am able to use non-elemental magic, fire magic, earth magic, and light magic.

I have been taught by Érica and Irina, even though I can use these spells in combat, I can only use lower-level spells, but for now, this is enough.

Everyone continued training during these two weeks, now what I need is to go to the Adventurers Guild to pick up some quests that can be completed in the Dungeon of the Great Serpent.

Tonight I'm going to talk to everyone to decide who's going to go to the dungeon or not.

After thinking through all of this I read the report and the information Kira gave me about this Alchemist, I was even more eager to kill him when I finished reading.

After simulating in my mind several scenarios an idea came to my mind, but I will have to discover its viability with others.
