NOVEL NEXT Chapter 271: Healer Acquired [Bonus]
Afterward, we went back to the room and completed the contract transfer, and she also changed into her green and brown colored ranger attire and received her bow. I could already see the advantages the alliance between elves and dwarves provides just from a glance at her weapon.
[Lifebloom Arc (Bound: Seraphiel Lunaris)]
[Rarity: Epic]
[Spells]
<Lifebloom Shot>
<Lifebloom Transfrom>
<Arcane Arrow>
'Holy shit.' I couldn't help but exclaim inwardly. My primordial eyes were showing me something truly insane. Not only does she have an Epic rarity bow- all of our weapons so far had been Rare rarity, the tier below Epic- but what truly floored me were the spells in it.

Now I can confidently say that the dwarves are bloody geniuses when it comes to artificing.
[Lifebloom Shot: Allows the caster to summon magical arrows that when released heal the target hit instead of damaging them. Efficiency depends on Healer class proficiency.]
[Lifebloom Transform: Transform Lifebloom Arc into Lifebloom Staff, or vice-versa.]
[Arcane Arrow: Use mana to materialize arrows from thin air, and depending on the mana imbued, each shot will have varying potency.]
This is straight-up insane if you ask me. Her bow transforms into a staff, which will let her cast more complex Healer class spells! It shoots healing arrows! Now I also understand why she doesn't have an arrow quiver with her, [Arcane Arrow] just lets her summon them if she wants!
If all that wasn't enough, the weapon was bound to her. It's the first time I've seen anything like this. With such a binding mechanism in place, it makes more sense that she was so 'cheap' despite coming in a bundle package with such an amazing, Epic rarity bow. It's junk to literally anyone else but her.
As a healer, I imagine she wants all her stats to be Magic, not Agility, and especially not Strength, which could be needed for stronger bow shots. With this, she can just put more mana into her shot and it will replace the effect Strength would have. Though, I hope she still put some stats into her Agility at least. Oh, yeah, I don't need to hope.
I can just check it now that she is my property using my Slave Master ability.
[Name: Seraphiel Lunaris]
[Race: Elf]
[Level: 18. XP 1078/8650]
[Class: Healer 18]
[Health Points: 320]
[Mana Points: 1725]
[Vitality: 32]
[Strength: 23]
[Agility: 42]
[Magic: 115]
[Unused Skill Points: 11]
[Unused Attribute Points: 0]
Damn. Those Magic and MP numbers are insane. Her Rare rarity class, Healer, gave her a 25% attribute bonus to Magic and 50% to MP. Her Strength was abysmal considering that she got 1 point automatically each time she leveled up, which means she would be at 6 if she were level 1. For reference, I would be at 15 Strength if I were to lose my points and return to being level 1, while Ayame would be 9.
This meant that she was incredibly weak physically. I'm happy to see that she put some points into Agility and Vitality, at least. Nonetheless, she was still a fragile backliner whose safety I would have to look out for.
Here are my numbers, the culmination of the 6 weeks of effort I put in since my arrival to this wonderful world.

I think my Primordial Villain class has not been gaining many levels because I've not conducted enough evil activities. It does get some XP when I kill monsters and humanoids, as well as when my Slave Master or Assassin classes level up, but its growth is slower than my other classes.
Merchant saw a big increase due to all the gold I made in the past month, but honestly, it's not that good of a class. It lets me barter better, but if my opponent is a Merchant as well, they can just counter it. Its best use is to fuck over people who don't have the class, but obviously, such a shop would soon become bankrupt after opening up.
I could walk up to a random peasant with the Farmer class who sells his produce personally and buy it at a great discount, but I have no interest in doing that. It has many unlockables, like [Quick Count] [Coin Weigh] [Secure Ledger] [Pack Light], but I didn't bother spending my valuable Unused Skill Points on them. I'm saving the points up for the next big opportunity to spend them.
With our business concluded, we left the building and I opened a gate to teleport us away. Seraphiel's pupils fluttered wide when she saw the swirling portal and refused to step through it. She was trembling like a frightened kitten due to the sight of the swirling portal of doom.
I didn't wish to linger here with the spell open, but I also didn't want to immediately begin abusing my master's privileges as soon as I got her to order her to step through it forcibly.
Thankfully Ayame quickly displayed its reliability by walking back and forth a few times, which eased the elf's worries enough to step into the gate voluntarily.
She was greeted by the sight of a shabby wooden inn room, with Lucille and Aurora waiting for her. I asked the duo beforehand to keep her company while I would go and buy the building materials and labor slaves. In the meantime, the mother-daughter pair will bring the shell-shocked elf up to speed. Hopefully, she will manage to keep up with all the news that will be bombarding her for a while.
I asked them not to reveal my greatest secrets, because she had no need to know, and also because I didn't want to completely overwhelm her.
With Seraphiel in good hands, Ayame and I went through another portal I opened, this time going to Braedon, then Cratol, a city that was on the way to our stronghold location so I went inside while we were exploring to let me teleport there at a later date.
Opening my gate there cost very little mana if we wanted to go to my Stronghold, so that city would be our ideal shopping destination once we settled down.
