After leaving Takashi's group it wasn't long before Michael got to max level of his Winter Wyvern Spirit, the endless tide of zombies giving him an incredibly easy method of levelling... It almost seemed unfair, if Michael were honest about it all... All the struggle and strife he'd gone through in Halkeginia looked worthless in the face of this...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spirit : Winter Wyvern
Level : 17 > MAX
Abilities :
Studious Mind (Rank 4) : Drastically increases the effectiveness of studying, rom reading books to research and practical experiments.
Arctic Burn (Rank 4) : User temporarily gains the ability to fly and breathe blistering cold winds that deal damage to any caught by it. Those affected will be afflicted with a short curse that rapidly drains their lifeforce and slows them.
Splinter Blast (Rank 4) : User throws a large ball of brittle ice that does no damage to the initially struck, but explodes outwards, launching large shards of hardened ice that both harm and slow.
Cold Embrace (Rank 4) : Temporarily encases an ally in a block of solid ice, the target gains massive damage resistance and also rapidly heals while frozen.
Winter's Curse (Rank 3) : User curses an enemy, freezing them in place and forcing those nearby to mindlessly attack them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The results from the roulette weren't bad either, granting him a Philosopher's stone, which was a red orb that'd continually drip liquid gold and form into coins depending on the User's whim. An Essence Ring, that'd allow you to channel mana through it for quick healing, and a Tome of Experience.
He wasn't sure just how effective each of these would be, but he could test that later... For now, he needed to choose a new Spirit from the refreshed list of heroes. This tier was referred to as 'Legend Tier' which could only mean good things in Michael's eyes...
Clinkz : An immortal dude who turned himself into a flaming skeleton, that also happens to use a bow and arrow...
Dark Seer : A purple alien monk-thing that has many strange abilities that may or may not be useful...
Dazzle : A pink-skinned shadow-priest who could heal and damage simultaneously, strip armour, and halt the process of death for a limited time. Potentially useful.
Dragon Knight : A knight that can turn into a dragon, posing the vitality of dragons and was really annoying to kill back in the original game... Potentially useful.
Grimstroke : Ink guy who betrayed his people, and stole their souls to empower himself. Potentially useful.
Huskar : Spear throwing warrior who is ridiculously tanky, getting stronger the more damage his takes and possessing sacrificial attacks that harm both him and his foe.
Jakiro : Two headed dragon with each head possessing a separate element of fire and ice. All of their abilities come in the manner of spitting fire or ice, no variety...
Juggernaut : Swordmaster that seems to hold Japanese roots due to his use of a katana. Can become magic immune with a spinning ability, gets crits on attack, and has a powerful ultimate ability. Potentially useful.
Kunkka : Sea fairing captain who rides around on a ghost ship, has a legendary sword called TideBringer, along with water manipulation abilities. Potentially useful.
Lich : A ancient frost lich that can suck the life out of people to empower himself, and use deadly frost magic. Potentially useful.
Luna : Priestess of Selemene that rides around on a big ass tiger-thing while firing moonbeams left right and center. Potentially useful.
Mirana : Another worshipper of Selemene that Riki had mentioned, Princess of the Moon(Sailor Moon vibes), uses a bow and arrow, can turn armies invisible, uses moon powers. Not useful, who wants to be a magical girl?
Necrophos : Pope of Pestilence, gains power the more sickness he acquires and spreads. Passively kills those around him, uses a scythe, has a powerful ultimate than perma-kills shit. Not useful unless he wanted to live as a hermit (The passive would kill everything around him. And might not be able to be turned off)
Puck : Ancient fairy dragon that is well versed in magical means. Acts like a child despite this, probably wouldn't be willing to teach, unless it was for pranking purposes.
Pudge : The butcher, an abomination comprised of many corpses stacked together, who gains strength the more bodies he subsumes. Not useful, passive would leave Michael looking like a flesh golem, even if it did increase his Strength stat like Essence Shift.
Pugna : Glowing green skeleton midget that uses magic called 'Nether' or something. Not useful aside from his life steal ability, but even that had limited utility.
Queen of Pain : Sexy sadistic succubus. Most of her power is drawn from her deadly screams that'd kill any in the vicinity. Would only pick her if he was thinking with his lower head.
Rubick : Grand Magus, as he likes to say at every chance he gets. Has the ability to steal spells from other power, has a vast knowledge of magic, and passively increases the effectiveness of his magic while decreasing the effectiveness of enemy magic. VERY useful.
Sand King : Big ass scorpion that can cause earthquakes with his ultimate, has venom that turns people inside out as they explode... Maybe useful?
Silencer : Guy who literally has an ability called 'Global Silence', better at hunting mages than even 'Anti-Mage'. Also has the ability to permanently steal intelligence from his dead foes. VERY USEFUL!
Sven : Knight who wields a big ass sword, cleaves through folks and can boost his strength like some kind of super saiyan, maybe useful.
Templar Assassin : Sexy assassin girl who specializes in secrets, not all that useful since he has Riki at his disposal.
Tidehunter : Giant sea monster that is rivals with Kunkka, not too sure how his abilities would work in reality... In the game they were both effective and not... Maybe useful?
Underlord : Demon guy who uses fire and shit... Michael isn't too sure what he does to be honest, aside from the guy's large radius teleportation abilities.
Vengeful Spirit : A 'Vengeful Spirit' that has random abilities that don't really mesh... One of which being to curse someone who kills her... Not something Michael could realistically use...
Venomancer : Snake guy who is master in all things poison, can summons poison creatures and bathe everything nearby in deadly toxins.
Warlock : A demon summoner who wields a famous grimoir, has a litany of spells, but probably wouldn't be willing to trade knowledge... Not without a price at least.
