The white dragon nodded. "I heard about it from Bishop Misty's handler:"
"She has a handler?" Karl asked.
"Of course. The time dragons make the green dragons look reliable and responsible. If we didn't assign someone to her, we would never know what she had gotten up to, as she never remembers to tell anyone.
She didn't even tell us about the incident with you, and still insists that she hasn't done it yet, but the Golden Dragon Nation has many of our people embedded in it, as it follows the Dragon Gods." Avatar Joel agreed.
He ran his fingers through his short white hair, then sighed, and took a book from his robes.
"Here, why don't you try this? It's a power matrix textbook. Most species wouldn't need it, but I suspect that you will."
Karl took the book and flipped it open to the first page. It was a newly written tome, and directed at monks, who needed to fortify their mental strength, as inner strength, not mana, powered many of their attacks.
It gave them an edge in some forms of battle, as inner strength regenerated even when cut off from mana. However, it wasn't so much the alternate form of energy, which he wasn't even certain that he could use, that was the priority. It was the way of storing it.
Karl flipped a few pages until he got to the part that he already knew, the basic focal point. That had formed a dragon scale when he focused, instead of the candle that was recommended. But it was enough of a similarity to follow the directions to the next step.
Karl began forming the pattern to turn the single focal point into a triangle, the next recommended shape. The moment that he clearly imagined it, the two new images of the dragon scale snapped into existence, and the flow of Soul Energy into his body tripled.
{Skill Master 5 activation} [Mental Fortitude] has improved. Maximum level reached.
The new images of dragon scales were solidifying smoothly, and the intensity of the influx began to stabilize, so Karl moved on to the next image on the page, the five pointed star.
Shifting the scales from their spot wasn't easy, but the new focusing array formed as easily as the last one had, and the influx of soul energy increased again.
There was a skill in his skill tree that Karl could see becoming incredibly powerful with these changes. It came after [Follow Me, Little One], and it was based entirely on mental strength.
(50 Points) [Dominating Power] The Pack Master's Aura gains a {Mental Domination} effect at will, requiring weaker minds to submit to his will. Hypnosis type ability. It wasn't really his style, but with this much soul power and capped out [Mental Fortitude], it would be effective on nearly anything. However, the other two skills waiting for him under [Pack First] in the skill tree were still more interesting.
(100 Points) [Benevolent Elder] Unbonded Upgraded beasts gain the ability to form a [Contract] with eligible targets before the target's initial Class Selection
(20 Points) [Limitless] Passive Skill. Beasts Evolved by the Packmaster have an increased chance of surpassing milestones in development.
[The important part of forming the dragon array is to focus on the image of the dragon's skull to attain the perfect placement. The clearer the vision of the dragon's head in your mind, the more closely aligned to the dragon gods your array will become.] freewebnøvel.com
