After the sixth round of lightning, the storm in the Tiny World began to fade, and Thor's body, still crackling with energy, began to change.
The bright green and gold of his scales shifted to more of a deep erald and platinum, while his size expanded even further.
Karl understood that a Behemoth should live up to the na, but at this point, Thor was becoming absolutely overwhelming in size for any sort of living being. Not even the greatest of Sea Creatures could match up to that sort of bulk.
If he couldn't transform, it would simply be untenable to keep him around, there wasn't enough food in even a place like this to sustain that much mass. Thor thought that was an amusing idea. Having to actually eat enough for his size. The Impenetrable Bulwark Behemoth fed mostly off energy, and with the Immortal Realm mana that suffused the Tiny World, he mostly ate because it tasted good, not because he needed the nutrients.
But now, he had other things to celebrate.
His Innate skills had advanced when he reached the Immortal Rank, and they had beco a more effective version of their base forms.
For example, [Unobtrusive Behemoth] now allowed him to specify his size up to fifty tis smaller than his original form, instead of ten.
The [Blockade] skill for creating a wall of ice or lightning no longer created 50 cubic tres per Rank of the Caster. Now, it created a flat five thousand cubic tres of ice or lightning maximum.
For controlling the battlefield, that would be absolutely amazing.
But that was common to many higher rank skills. Remi's [Thousand Year Flood] had gone to a billion litres per minute, and could theoretically cover a square kilotre in a tre of water in a single minute.
Unfortunately, she hadn't had an opportunity to test it out yet.
It wasn't a damaging spell, and they hadn't found anywhere that they wanted to flood on that level.
However, Remi had high hopes for the spell.
It should increase by ten tis again when she reached the beginning of Void Stage, and that would make it a truly impressive flood, with as much coverage range as her usual use of the [Thunderstorm] spell, which dumped much less rain on people.
Putting a tre of water in an entire dungeon instance would make things so much more fun for her, as a Naga.
In the water, only Leo was likely to be even close to as fast as she was.
Leo thought that was a wonderful idea. They could make all the dungeons a shallow sea, and he could swim around, letting the water splash on his flippers. It could be problematic for the rest of the team, though.
Thor imdiately shrunk his size back down once his advancent was finished, and then crouched so that Tessa could get up on his back.
He had returned himself to Cerro sized, just under three tres tall and six tres long, plus his thick tail. But that was perfect for Tessa to ride into battle. She might be refraining from combat for now, while she was pregnant, but that didn't an she wasn't going to keep training to prevent her skills from getting rusty.
"Well, it looks like Thor got just the skills that he needed.
He might not look quite like the Cerro that he was born as, but he's the right size again, and he can have his Knight." Dana joked with a smile on her face for Tessa's excitent.
For the longest ti, Thor had been too large, even when he reduced his size, to properly ride into combat.
However, Karl was no longer the only one in the group that showed an Epic Grade Constitution. Thor now had the sa decoration on his na when viewed through the system, but his health pool was absolutely enormous. Compared to Karl, who could now be considered squishy for a world boss, damaging Thor was the equivalent of trying to hack your way through a mountain of Dwarven Steel.
Behemoth's Vitality tripled both of their regeneration rates, but it was a percentage of total health per second. What Karl could regenerate could not in any way be compared to what Thor could regenerate.
Plus, with [Limited Invulnerability], ten percent of Thor's health was a hit hard enough to one shot Karl.
Nachtia frowned as she saw Lotus trying to carry a sheet cake larger than she
was.
{Happy Advancent Day Nachtia} was written on it, with Thor's na added in green at the bottom.
That didn't seem like sothing that Lotus would do when there was the
option to bring out two cakes, so Ophelia must have stopped her. This one cake alone would be more than enough for everyone, and then they could snack on all the other sweets after.
Everyone was already in party mode anyhow, with the local wines being passed around now that Karl's had been finished.
They weren't going to need much food.
While Thor and Tessa ran a few charging patterns, everyone else was rapidly getting drunk.
That was the perfect opportunity for Cara.
Everyone was distracted as she snuck up on Tessa, who was grabbing water
after their short training session.
{Skill Unavailable to ddleso Badgers}
Cara glared at the System Notice. She was quite certain that she should be able
to use what Karl used, but it wouldn't let her use [Breath Of The World].
Absolutely unfair.
The gods were picking on her.
"That expression tells that you tried to do sothing and the System told
you no." Tessa laughed.
Cara grumbled, but nodded.
"You tried to upgrade my children, didn't you?"
"Of course? What else would I have done when everyone was distracted?"
"Other than check my pockets for trinkets?"
"Yeah, other than that."
Thor laughed and patted his little sister on the head before recovering Tessa's
pencil from her.
"I think that we might be able to convince her to let Karl do it. Stronger
offspring is good for the pack."
He might have a different reason, but at least Thor was on her team.
