Chapter 13
Arthur watched as the units under him all were covered in light. The dragon-sworn broke free from the light first after a few minutes. They had grown stronger, but no visible change was present.
However, what Arthur observed was that they gained class skills, like the human archers gained aura shaping and elemental control. This wasn't like magic; these was the stereotypical ability to fire a single arrow and have it multiply. They also gained Dragon senses and other smaller amps. Along with the dragon-sworn dwarves and elves.
Arthur checked their stats and each one now possessed the base strength of 500-600.
This was great considering they were around 90-100 ranges before. This was a monumental increase in strength.
'I guess the base addition for a rank up is 500 for most units unless they are special like Morgan.' Thought Arthur calmly after checking.
He moved on to the dragon-kin who broke free minutes later. He noticed that just like their dragon-sworn counterparts these units didn't change much aside from their dragon features being more prominent and their increase in power.
Depending on their roles Arthur noticed that they all had stats ranging from 600-700 with specialist skills appearing as well. In this group the priest stood out, he noticed that the man possessed a unique skill within its ranks.
'Looks like my Lords sacrifice skill.' He thought when he saw the skill. 'This could be useful if it can be used in a mass scale,' he thought.
The skill was a holy field that took the damage of the units under him and distributed it to the stronger ones and vice versa. He smiled while taking note of this ability.
Then he moved on to look at his elite units who broke an hour later.

After this Arthur noticed that the skills each one got were different and would best suit their respective fighting styles. He was happy with that.
"Good work all of you, now go out and fight join Morgan and Galion. I will be in my chambers getting ready to evolve as well." He said and the soldiers bowed before doing just as he asked.
He watched them leave and turned back heading to his castle. 'I can't wait to see what will happen after I level up.' He thought to himself, while feeling more and more Exp being absorbed into him.
After a minute he reached his room and laid on his bed.
He first checked his stats. All around the 190 to 200 ranges. He closed his eyes and spoke, "Level up,"
[Congratulations, you have Ranked up… +1000 to all stats…You have excess EXP, 10,300, would you like to convert this Exp to stats?] asked the system prompt.
He was currently seated, after a few minutes of thought he confirmed. "Yes"
[Congratulations You have sacrificed 4800 exp to stats… +800 to all stat…]
[Commencing Metamorphosis…] spoke the system.
A wave of dizziness struck Arthur abruptly, He then fell over unconscious… The last his he heard was.
[More exp detected…Converting Exp to Divine Gold,]

Flash-back

Earlier that day, during the conversation between the top leaders before everyone was dismissed, Arthur looked at Morgan and asked, "Morgan I have a list here of items I need to make a revival temple. However, I am unsure of what divine gold is, it is not available in the market do you know what it is?" he asked.
"Yes sire, Divine gold, is not actual gold my lord. Divine Gold is the crystallization of soul energy, or experience points as you call it. When creatures die, we can harvest this energy and make divine gold, however we will need a lot of it. It is hard to harvest it normally since the soul energy is directly transferred to us when we kill our foes.
However, this upcoming night might be an opportunity sire," Spoke Morgan.
"How so?" asked Arthur.
"Well, you see my lord, one cannot rank up and obtain soul energy at the same time, if that occurs the energy will just condense into divine gold instead of pooling into your own soul." Explained Morgan.
"Ah I see, you're saying that while I rank up, you guys continue to fight the monsters outside the barrier and provide me with experience points, then I can start making divine gold?" asked the man.
"Yes Sire," spoke Morgan.
"Ok then…work hard for me," spoke Arthur.
"Yes Sire,"

Morgan in the air remembered the conversation, then wind gathered around her dragon body and she moved quickly slashing through a lot of monsters. She rose into the air and spoke, "I will move to the sea, Will the rest of you be ok?" she asked.
"Do need to worry lady Morgan, we'll be fine." Spoke Holran while transforming into a wave of sand and rock and wrapping around numerous tree monsters and draining the moisture out of them drying them out, before crushing them.
"He is right, the lord needs as must souls Energy as we can provide!" spoke Lucias, while he unleashed a breath of wind, that formed a twister of cutting and slashing winds cutting through monsters.
Morgan nodded and lightning wrapped around her form, followed by water then wind. She rose to the sky. "I'll live you with this then!" she called.
"Cursed thunderstorm!" she called out,
Then the elements fused and took control of the clouds, then rain started falling, each rain drop lined with a curse that debuffed her enemies, then lightning fell striking others.
She flew away leaving the rampaging storm behind; however a train of purple and black lightning followed her.
Then she dove to the sea, moments later, where a lot of sea monsters were present. The residual lightning struck the water, killing thousands of aquatic monsters.
Once in the water she used water domination to take control of the water currents, "Foolish lesser beings! Perish!" she should in glee and euphoria at the murder spree.
"FUFUFUFUFU!" A sinister laugh echoes through the seas and heavens.
