章 1644: The Last Preparations

-----

The day to depart was slowly approaching, and with that, everyone was growing slightly more nervous. The training had been going excellent, everyone's souls were now several times stronger, some ten times, other twenty times bigger, it depended on a person's Soul Talent, as the Fox Woman called it. Apparently not all Souls are born equal, some take longer to grow than others even with her intensive torture… I mean, her training.

Thankfully, with the Elixirs I made with Kate, it was possible for everyone to at least get their Souls to the minimum of SS- Rank, the most talented were able to get to SSS Rank, and the least to SS- Rank, so it was a pretty decent strength. With those stats, they were also able to equip multiple Soul Gear pieces at once, of course, the Shield of Tiamat was included as one Soul Gear, so those that had already filled all their Soul Gear Slots had to drop one item.

But the Shield was definitely worth it.
