Emery made his way towards a different chamber that looked more like an enclosed room inside a room. If the previous room had a lot of chemicals this room was full of runes written all over its wall. Must be some kind of detection formation of the sort.
The moment he entered, he was immediately asked to activate his [Day Transformation] inside the chamber. Once again, from behind the reinforced glass, a group of researchers, as well as Bob, could be seen observing; they were ready to test the prowess of this new ability of his.
However, in contrast to the previous tests, in which he was equipped with metal bracelets and a vest only able to measure his physique, his third transformation was fully focused on the spirit force. Hence, a completely different equipment was required.
The first was a test of control in which Emery was asked to cast and try to control his [Shadow Root] by manipulating them to form various kinds of shapes in a limited amount of time. After that was done, came the second test.
The second was a test of power, where he needed to break things apart or cut through things with his spells. As a result, a flurry of destructive spells occurred within the chamber, as Emery cast every offensive spell in his repertoire.
As for the third test, it was to test his special magic resistance. Emery had to endure multiple rounds of mental attack, so that the researchers would be able to find out the differences between before and after he used his [Day Transformation].
The final was the test of his spirit pool. This was something that Emery had shown an interest in seeing.
Before the corruption incident happened, Emery could only hold his form for 30 minutes. Then, as the corruption flowed within his body, that duration was slashed to 12 minutes, after which the urge would emerge and threaten to take control.
However, now that this dilemma was resolved, Emery discovered that he could maintain his spirit pool for up to 85 minutes, before he felt completely drained and had to deactivate it.
A massive grin could be seen on Emery's face. Because of this wonderful news, his [Night Transformation] and [Day Transformation] would be his main choice of skills for fighting in the future. Emery couldn't help to think about the best strategy for his future fights.
After a few hours, Emery finally finished all the tests Bob wanted him to go through. Now it was time for the reveal. Eagerness and expectation shone in his eyes as he accepted the test results Bob had shown him and the man began to explain.
First was the result of his physical test.
Bob showed the data from each stage of Emery's current strength: under normal circumstances, when using the [Immortal Gate], [Fey Transformation] and then [Night Transformation], all in a column.
[Average stat comparison]
[Battle Power 175 - 207 - 252 - 292]
[Strength 155 - 187 - 217 - 328]
[Agility 188 - 220 - 295 - 300]
[Endurance 192 - 222 - 252 - 256]
Looking at the data, Emery's normal state had great endurance and agility, but lacked strength. This was something he had known since the academy.
The second row was the one when he used his [Immortal Gate] skill. It was a skill that increases all three stats proportionally, hence all the stats were still the same only 32 points higher.
The third row was His [Fey Transformation] combined with his [Battle Howl] skill. This boost allowed Emery to reach a physique of a crescent moon magus with most distributed toward agility, which gave Emery a super speed close to that of a Half-Moon magus.
Finally, the last row was the [Night Transformation] data which showed almost 90% of the total 40 battle power boost to strength, a massive leap of 100 points all toward strength. A full upgrade from a crescent magus strength level to pass to a full moon magus with 328 strength. No wonder those drakes didn't stand a chance against him.
The overall data shown meant that throughout the activation of his [Night Transformation], Emery had the necessary power to fight toe-to-toe against a normal Half-Moon magus in terms of strength and agility.
Just short on the endurance stat, which means that his flesh, stamina and bones did not have the same level of tolerance. Luckily, his [Undecaying Flesh] provided him with a terrifying healing factor that could make up for the difference.
Bob the frog do the last check up on his body with much satisfaction
"A rank 8 acolyte whose stats is on par with a Half-Moon magus!" Bob exclaimed in awe. "How amazing is that?! This is the power of someone who is only rank 8! Amazing!"
Of course, Emery's fantastic stats didn't mean he was definitely capable of fighting a bonafide Half-Moon magus. After all, this was just the result of a pure physical test without considering any magic involved.
After Bob finished his explanation of Emery's physical test results, it was finally time for the latter's magic test result. Bob gave him another piece of data that compared his results before and after using [Day Transform] with the stats of average acolytes.
[Spirit Force - 996]
[Spirit Power - rank 9 mid - Crescent Magus]
[Spirit Control - rank 8 peak - rank 9 mid]
[Spirit Pool - rank 9 peak - rank 9 peak]
Emery's eyes couldn't help but widen when he saw the result. He had not expected the boost he had received would be so significant, to the point that the power of his spell managed to be on par with that of a Crescent-Moon magus.
Even though the transformation didn't have any effect on his Spirit Pool, Emery was still overjoyed when he saw that it helped his lacking control. With a substantial improvement in Spirit Control, Emery was able to cast his spells more efficiently which, in a way, still affected his Spirit Pool beneficially.
"There is also that magik resistanke," Bob added. "This transformation ability of yours is truly an amazing one. The instrument detekts your body's magik resistanke has basically doubled. It's as if your body was given another layer of defense."
Bob the frog showed the data how his mental defense was upgraded exponentially: from having weaker, compared to the rank 9 acolytes, to almost as strong as crescent magus mental defense.
The mixed-blood frog was talking incessantly, raving about the stats. Finally, Emery stopped him and asked about a problem that had confused him - why his gene percentage had dropped lower with his upgrade.
According to the frog, other than his double rank bloodline upgrade, this percentage turned out to be a fairly normal occurrence.
Apparently, it was surprisingly normal for the gene of a higher rank bloodline to have less gene limit for a breakthrough. Seeing Emery looking increasingly confused, Bob then gave the data of the standard percentage of gene essence required to upgrade.
The first row was for the gene bloodline with rank 6 limits like Emery before, the second row was for rank 7 limit like Heorgar and the third row was for rank 8 limit genes, like Emery's now.
Rank 4 - 30% - 20% - 15%
Rank 5 - 50% - 30% - 20%
Rank 6 - 100% - 50% - 30%
Rank 7 - NA - 100% - 50%
Rank 8 - NA - NA - 100%
"There may be some differences with certain genes, but this is the standard," said Bob.
From this data, it would mean that Emery only needed 5% more to reach Rank 6 Fey Wolf.
"It doesn't seem like much..." Emery muttered to himself.
However, Bob who heard his mutter shook his head and said, "No, no! That 5% for a rank 8 mythical bloodline like you will not be easy to akhieved. However, fret not, we kertainly kan help you with that."
A wide smile once again graced Emery's face, knowing he could upgrade even further.
