Guild Wars-Chapter 1056 Rank 5 Evil Trio 4

Both Eva and Shuangtian had displayed superior prowess. In fact, it seems that the theme of the entire Rank Up for Rank 5 yielded greater changes than all the previous Ranks combined.

This wasn't surprising really, as Rank 5 was a huge threshold for NPCs more than players. If you thought about it, it made sense.

Rank 1 was called Adventurer, Rank 2 was Lord, Rank 3 was King, Rank 4 was Emperor and Rank 5 was Demi-God.

Like damn, going right from mortal titles to godly ones? It meant that those between Rank 1 to Rank 4 still possessed power within reasonable limits that the average weakling would see and kneel to call them Emperor or King or whatever.

But if a Rank 5 were to come and display prowess, it would cause the weakling with no power to feel that they were in the presence of a Demi-God.

And as you could imagine, there was a big gap between an Emperor and a Demi-God.

Eva also decided to homogenize her fighting style and reduce her ranged fighting since the trio were going to be using their class abilities more. However, it was difficult to return to the era of Riveting Night where she could hide in the shadows.

Evaterasu was not capable of that. She was the light that shone upon the world and brightened the universe for the mortals and the weak. Her presence should be seen, felt, and heard at all times.

And so, she decided to become a swordswoman like Draco, dual-wielding Kusanagi no Tsurugi which had the ability to double reflect all damage on its blade like Ghostpro's bloodline, and then Fragarach which was given to her by Draco which could break all defenses.

With her knowledge of all of Draco's swords skills and techniques, plus their shared mental connection, she was just as good as him in terms of fighting with two blades.

Shuangtian was straightforward, sticking to her ancestral path of punching everyone in the face until they begged for mercy. To that end, she had slightly fewer items but that was only because she had joined the game later.

In time, her repertoire would build up, and with Draco able to make Divine Items easily, she could easily gain anything she would ever desire.

Next up was Draco's title, which was of course, the Mage God one. As usual, before we talk about what he recently gained, let's see the history of the title in 4D.

?Mage God (Rank 5) – Special Rank

Able to use Subjective Magic without limits. Opens the willpower and concentration stats. Spells cost 40% --> 60% fewer resources to cast. This Special Rank title is always equipped without occupying a slot.?

At Rank 2, it had granted him the ability to imbue the most basic applications of the pinnacle elements into his spells and techniques!

At Rank 3, he could use advanced applications of the pinnacle element in various spells and combinations!

At Rank 4, he could power spells with Aetheric Energy as long as it was available.

And at Rank 5… yep, you guessed it. It was the very thing that made Richmond stand out and become the most powerful Titled God in the world!

The ability to imbue Divine Energy into spells!

Now it must be noted that the acquisition of this ability had nothing to do with the Divine Draconic Source Origin they had. It was purely a power granted from the progression of the title and the quantity used was far lower than one could muster with a Divine Source Origin.

If a Divine Source Origin could provide 100 points, then the Mage God Special Title's Cause and Effect Theory could only provide 0.1 points. Of course, they were not comparable, but comparing them was dumb anyway.

One was a cheat they got due to their powerful bloodlines and the favor of the AI while the other was a natural progression that Richmond had discovered and condensed into this title/legacy.

(Author's Note: I know you nerds get horny when I display changes efficiently like below, so enjoy.)

Whew, the power of the Mage God was not a joke. Draco often used its power since it was his own real way to use magic. His class allowed him to learn any skill that was of the elements related to his bloodline sure, but most of them were skills and not spells.

Unlike Eva who had a natural magical class and could use any magic aside from the light element, and Shuangtian who had her Elemental Golem side that could also use any element freely, Draco was the only one constrained without a way forward unless he used Subjective Magic, so its value to him did not diminish at all even with 100% bloodline purity.

Besides, Subjective Magic was far more versatile and useful than what Shuangtian or Eva had. That was without even taking in consideration that Draco was not limited to the Cause and Effect theory but also had access to Control and his State of Being.

It should be noted that all the improvements above are the base values, assuming that one only used the rules of the title. If Draco added Control or his State of Being, all those limitations would disappear like smoke.

His Tier 6 Control could easily influence Divine Energy and his Divine Source Origin from his State of Being could supply it too. In other words, he could release any spell of any type with full Divine Energy and watch the world burn.

If the fellow wanted to be a bastard, he could enter his Inner Universe and charge up a huge spell with Divine Energy from the atmosphere and then pop out and launch it.

That would be peak bullying, and likely no one below True God would be able to withstand that. If Draco could find some way to gain the ability to infuse a Law into his attacks like Eva, he could take on True Gods on equal grounds.

However, that was for the near future. Right now, most of the details of their Rank Ups had been covered except for one last thing, which was the upgrade to their pets.

Naturally, there was also the matter of opening their Divine Treasure Chest rewards and then establishing some details with regard to their problem with stats.
