"Hey, Guilliman, I heard."
"You defeated those high-ranking warriors of the Companions by yourself today."
"That's so cool! It's a shame I wasn't there to cheer you on."
"Now, everyone in Whiterun is talking about your battle from earlier today; you're more famous than me."
Freyja, who had just returned from tomb raiding, was in a great mood. Holding two mugs of beer, she began to brag about her man, a look of deep regret on her face.
It seemed she had acquired quite a few spoils of war, which would fetch a good price.
Ever since Lydia, the strong Shield-Maiden, became her follower, setting aside how much help she provided in combat, the time spent processing loot was cut in half.
To ensure their little home in Breezehome fared better, the Dragonborn Maiden now worked diligently outside every day, earning money at an astonishing rate.
He, on the other hand, was like a kept man, spending Freyja's hard-earned money lavishly every day, buying all sorts of items.
At night, he would also spar with the maiden, enjoy her body, and share the Dragon Shouts she acquired. His life was incredibly comfortable.
Not only that, but every night, the Dragonborn Maiden would hand him an item.
"Here, Guilliman, this is the Soul Gem you wanted."
It was the giant Soul Gem that he drained every day, only for the maiden to refill it with countless souls the next.
Sometimes it held two or three hundred soul power, sometimes four or five hundred. Though the amount varied daily, it was beyond imagination.
She was truly a Dragonborn; this efficiency was even higher than when he was slaughtering creatures in the elf village forest.
Moreover, Freyja not only showed no repulsion towards his ability to absorb the souls of other creatures, but was instead quite pleased. Because she could absorb Dragon Souls and her boyfriend could absorb other souls, the similarity between them gave her a feeling of destiny.
Perhaps because being the destined savior in the eyes of others was not an easy task, having a lover who could share the burden and was similar to her made Freyja feel more at ease.
With this stable income of soul power, Guilliman no longer hoarded it. Instead, he directly upgraded the Igni Sign, which he had long anticipated, to the Transcendent rank.
This was his first Transcendent-rank skill, requiring a full ten thousand points of soul power.
The upgrade process was still quite painful. Mental power needed to strengthen brain tissue, while magic power needed to strengthen the mutated organs within the body.
Both of these areas were precise and sensitive. Even he, a seasoned veteran with astonishing willpower, almost couldn't endure such intense stimulation and nearly wet himself.
However, a Transcendent-rank skill truly lived up to its name. Despite being only a single level increase, its effects were astonishing.
[Igni Sign]Level: LV7, Mental Power increased by 4.0, Magic Power increased by 10.0. Special Abilities: Flame Jet LV3, Flame Shockwave LV2, Burst Fireball LV1. Flame Intensity Level: 6, Flame Adhesion Ability: 4.
After the skill upgrade, Guilliman not only gained two points in Mental Power directly, but his Magic Power attribute also increased by four points, which was six times the attribute increase of an ordinary person, truly astonishing.
Not only that, but Flame Intensity, Flame Adhesion Ability, and his other two skills were all enhanced, and the Transcendent rank also gained a new combat technique: [Burst Fireball].
This combat technique consumed an astonishing amount of magic, roughly five times that of a regular Igni. With his current magic capacity, he could probably only cast it five times before running out of mana.
