With obtaining the [Chi], both Juri and Luria, discovered the immense benefits of training their bodies, as growth skyrocketed by 10 times!
And by asking the System, Juri came to learn that the Attribute Tiers are different from the Skills.
Tier 1: 1~100
Tier 2: 101~300
Tier 3: 301~600
Tier 4: 601~1,000
Tier 5: 1,001~2,000
And it goes increasing.
In each Tier, an Attribute advantage is unlocked, just as the previous advantages are improved.
But each Tier has its requirements, but the moment it is exceeded, increasing the Attributes becomes easier, except for the last 20 Points before the maximum of the Tier.
But the important thing is that exceeding 100 Points, was very easy and only in the 280~300, that will become more difficult.
But with 10x EXP in your Attribute Levels, it became easy!
And as Luria started practicing Martial Arts, just as Juri was learning other fighting styles, the [Chi] coursing through their bodies was adapting and improving!
Their attributes were growing naturally.
And sometimes a message like this would come up:
[You have broken a bubble of potential!]
[+15 Strength, +9 Agility and +10 Constitution!]
Such "Potential Bubbles", are the residual energy of Attribute Levels, this is what makes NPCs so strong in various Attributes.
Juri has never burst one of these "bubbles" before, because he hasn't practiced using any Physical Energy.
But it turns out that these "Potential Bubbles" only came about by training [Aura] and [Magic Force], not by practicing [Chi], because as said before, the focus of [Chi] is Wisdom!
But the important thing is that since Juri has only just started practicing using [Magic Force], she has started breaking a lot of these bubbles, which has started to increase her base Attributes.
Luria was envious as she saw that she was slowly catching up to her again, so she trained and killed more fervently!
Juri and Luria were competing amicably, neither wanting to be behind the other.
But as the two trained, studied, and grew stronger!
Our attention turns to the Winter Kingdom!
Days after Juri and Luria left for Earth, the Royal Family and Archmage Neferu began to act!
Princess Priscilla being an occultist is something with great weight, as this implies that many influential Nobles of the Kingdom are involved.
It's not as if killing Princess Priscilla will cause the death of others, it would actually result in a war!
Priscilla may be the leader of the Occultists in the Kingdom, but she could also be another pawn of someone even stronger, for surely they must have reasons for Priscila to go to the other side!
So the action taken was not an attack mission, but an investigation mission!
To destroy an evil rooted in the kingdom, they needed to find out everything about it, before nipping it in the bud!
So they began to investigate Nobles and merchants closely connected to Princess Priscilla, investigations that lasted for weeks!
And the more they investigated, the deeper they got into the whole plot!
The King and Queen discovered that it was even deeper, at least 1/6 of the Nobles were involved, it could be 1/5!
Investigating various "monster" attacks, as well as reports of lone Humans or Giants annihilating groups of adventurers, troops and so on.
More and more things were discovered and pulled out of the carpet.
Then it was discovered that in the last 3 years, there have been more than 30,000 Deaths, which must be linked to the Occultists... 30,000 innocent people!
That is a huge number, Gratya and Hurius, the Kings of that nation, felt useless.
But what made them even angrier, was that individuals they thought were loyal, important politicians and noblemen, covered it up!
Not to mention that they are from the last 3 years, apparently they must have been standing for over 10 Years!
If it's at least 10,000 Deaths per year, 100,000 people have died in the last 10 years at the very least!
Gratya, Hurius and Neferu understood that they could no longer stand idly by!
So they decided to expose to the Nobles, that there is a Devil Cult slaughtering their people and that many Nobles must be involved!
And the next action in making this public, was to pretend!
...
"Hello sister, to what do I owe the honor of the Queen's visit?" - Priscila, a tall, beautiful woman with long white hair, asked.
Unlike her sister, Gratya, Priscila is an Ice Elf, how's that?
It is obvious that both are not sisters from the same mother, nor from the same father, to tell the truth, they are cousins!
The grandfather of both, being none other than Neferu!
And to tell you a little, let's go back almost 4 centuries in the past!
A time when the Winter Kingdom was in an even more intense war against the Frost Giants, as well as having problems with a Human Kingdom that was enslaving its people!
At that time, the Winter Kingdom was living on the tip of the iceberg, at any moment it could fall.
But then, a nobleman that many thought was dead, since decades ago, had disappeared.
His name was Neferu White!
At the time, the White Family was a small Noble Family of the Winter Kingdom, equivalent to the Barony for Humans.
Neferu in his youth was a very curious young man who wanted to know more, so he ran away from home around his 40's, going beyond the Frozen Plains.
Then he was pronounced dead, as well as disowned by his family.
But 30 years later, he returned, but he carried a lot of power!
In a desperate war, Elves and Giants were killing each other, but it... was a massacre!
The Elves were dropping like flies, the Giant King and Queen, who were Giants over 50 feet tall each!
It is very rare to have a Giant that is more than 15 meters tall, whenever one appears, they would be the most powerful of their race, and hardly more than one appears in the same generation.
But in this generation 2 appeared, an extremely powerful couple, able to create walls of ice, cause light earthquakes and destroy fortresses by themselves!
The Elves already felt they would lose the war, there was no chance of victory, until Neferu appeared.
Flying in the air, he summoned 2 Ice Elementals, beings of such great and mysterious power, that the 2 Giants, King and Queen, suffered the most humiliating and one-sided defeat of their lives!
The Giant Queen being beheaded and the Giant King losing an arm!
Half of the Giant army was frozen to death, all in less than 15 minutes since Neferu appeared!
And after this, he regained his name, glory, and soon married the Princess, but he had a wife in name, prepared by his parents, a promise.
Neferu could not refuse her, so he married 2 women - the Princess and the daughter of a minor Noble.
So decades later, Neferu had 1 daughter and 1 son.
His son had the royal blood and due to Neferu's power, he was officially integrated into the line of succession and became King!
His daughter on the other hand had enormous status as the daughter of the Hero of the Kingdom, but could not match that of her brother.
But she still had a luxurious and peaceful life, having 2 sons, one of whom died before reaching maturity, but his daughter lived, that being Priscilla!
Finally the former Elf King, son of Neferu, wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, explore the world and also become strong, so he married his daughter, Gratya to the son of a Grand Duke, Hutius!
Hutius was already the best of suitors, since he was an Ice Elf, and his bloodline was pure and powerful, so there wasn't much suspense.
So Hutius and Gratya became King and Queen, where because Gratya has the royal blood, she has greater authority than her husband.
Now as to why they call each other and see each other as sisters, even though they are cousins, is because they grew up together and the age difference of the two is only 3 years, with Priscilla being the older.
And because they grew up together, it means that they were under Neferu's tutelage from a young age, they both became expert sorcerers, because they learned from the best!
And it was only in the last century, when Neferu was at the end of his life, that he became an Ice Elf and soon after an Ice Elemental!
That's the general story about the Royal family!
...
With a wide, beautiful smile, Gratya hugged her sister, giving her a kiss on the cheek and receiving one back.
Soon they were off to a beautiful white, frozen garden.
"My dear sister, you heard the latest news, right?" - Gratya asked with a regretful tone.
"Yes... I didn't expect such a thing to be happening, but how did it get found out? That's very suspicious!" - Said Priscila sighing and with a serious look on her face.
"Do you know about the Fortress where my 7th daughter is, where this Human from Another World appeared?" - Gratya asked, since that is not so secret anymore.
It turns out that Juri talked too much and dozens of nobles know about it, surely some must have told Priscila.
"I heard about it, but is it real?" - Priscila asked quite skeptical.
"Yes, it was confirmed by Neferu, she really is from another world, a world millennia ahead of us technologically and accidentally came to our world because of her sister, who seems to be a genius who invents strange things!" - Gratya said sighing.
Priscilla was shocked, if it wasn't for "confirmed by Neferu", she would never have believed such a statement.
"Well, if it was the Master who confirmed it... but how exactly did this occur?" - Priscilla asked, obviously talking about the Occult.
"Apparently she has accessories that allow her to detect individuals who have performed some kind of Sacrificial Ritual and connected to the said Evil Entities, she used this in 2 cities in our Kingdom, where they annihilated the damned Occultists!" - Said Gratya clenching her teeth and fists.
Priscilla touched her fists, to calm her down, and looked lovingly into her eyes.
Sighing, calmer Gratya continued. - "With that, we were able to detect some spies infiltrating the Royal Guard... I didn't believe it until Neferu confirmed that it was all true, 2 of our Royal Guards were spies who worship these Evil Entities!"
Priscilla's eyes widened, then fiercely she said. - "Unforgivable! How can Royal Guards, who undergo great inspections and swear by their souls and lineage, serve the Royal Family and the Kingdom!"
Gratya smiled bitterly and said. - "That was once sister, now we are seeking to know more about them and their masters, but they are very stubborn and clever, leading us down several crooked paths, but we have discovered many horrible things..." - Tears began to fall down Gratya's face.
"Sister?!" - Priscilla asked worriedly seeing going.
"Sister... these monsters have killed thousands of our people, our noble and faithful subjects, covering up the disappearance and death of tens of thousands of our people... so many women and children... so much suffering without our knowing it!" - Gratya touched her forehead and wiped away tears.
Priscilla hugged her.
"Be assured, we will annihilate these damned! Everyone involved will pay!" - Said Priscila fiercely while hugging Gratya tightly.
"Sister... I know you have abandoned this side of you, but... it's hard to get information from those 2 spies... I came here in person, as you are the only one who knows a bit about Mind Magic..." - Said Gratya with red eyes looking at Priscilla.
"But of course I will help! I will send my servants to prepare everything, we have to get the information from those damned traitors!" - Said Priscila fiercely and already shouting loudly, her Butler arriving and already hearing the orders.
Gratya thanked and hugged her sister, then they exchanged a few words, before Gratya went to prepare things for the trip to the Capital.
Priscila also went to get some things ready, where soon she was in a secret chamber roaring hysterically.
"DAMN IT! INFERNO! AAAAAHHH!!!" - Priscila bellowed and broke many things, ignoring the moans and cries all around.
"Hell! How did those two get caught?! I've gone to so much trouble and now... person from another world... hell! I'm so close!" - Priscilla bit her lips to the point where blood began to flow, which she licked.
Soon she looked at the skinless people with various metal things stuck into their flesh.
Snorting, she waved her hand and blood spurted out, covering the floor.
This calmed her down, she sighed and soon went to take a shower.
"Once I get my hands on that damned human, I will make it a point to torture her for the rest of her humble life!"
