Chapter 82 - Breakfast Is Served
His innate skills hadn't changed, however his passive skills had also increased by one level each.
[ PASSIVE SKILLS ]
Perception level 3 : Allows you to see your opponent's level and Stats if they are not 50 levels above yours. Allows you to see the grade and Stats of Items and the grade of boxes. Allows you to see the time the dungeon will stay open.
Soul force required to activate : None
Recovery level 3 : 30 min of rest allows you to recover 150 Soul force points. 30 min of meditation allows you to recover 300 Soul force points.
Again, Kevin was completely amazed, the change between level 2 and level 3 of the Recovery skill doubled the points of Soul force that he would gain, really too cool !
So he continued down his Skills menu and saw that his active skills hadn't changed, so he finally focused on what really interested him.

He couldn't believe his eyes, the Darkness element had appeared in his Mastery of the elements skill block, did that mean if he absorbed the 2 000 particles needed to get to level 1 he would be able to absorb them in the same way as the others.
He had completely forgotten to ask Alan last night how to use the talisman papers, could he directly absorb the particles that were inside ?
Well, anyway, even if he could get to level 3 with the help of the talisman papers, he needed 1 000 Soul force points to be able to use the Summoning Dead Knights spell.
This meant that if he chose to use it during a fight, he would have to rely on potions in order to regain his Soul force points.
He had a ton of questions for Alan but that could wait until next week.
Today, he was going to face powerful monsters and it was better for him to concentrate on what he had mastered rather than trying new things.
Seeing what time it was he decided to go and cook breakfast for them. He chose to make a big one, after all they were going to have to use a lot of energy to fight today.
Once he was done getting everything ready, he wanted to do something he had never done before.
He went outside and went to pick a flower that looked like the roses of his world but which here hadn't a pink or red color but a blue one that was similar of the color of Axel's eyes.
He had spotted them on the way home the last time and he just went to pick one of them and he put it on a tray where their breakfast was already waiting, he then brought it to their room to surprise Axel.
When he arrived in their room, he put the tray on the nightstand and he gently shook Axel to wake him up.
Axel woke up with a start but calmed down immediately when he felt a hand on his cheek, he could recognize this warmth and scent anywhere, and when he also smelt the delicious smell of breakfast he looked at him startled, did Kevin really bring him breakfast in bed ?
He put one of his hands on Kevin's hand that was on his cheek and he turned his head slightly to kiss his palm.
Kevin smiled at him and said : "Breakfast is served !"
Axel then looked in the direction where this delicious smell was coming from, and he saw that Kevin had even taken the time to go and pick for him a flower.
Damn, he thought, if he wasn't already madly in love with Kevin he probably would have succumbed to his charm after that.
Axel, who really hated talking in the morning, even more just after woken up, thanked him warmly and asked him how he was feeling.
He was relieved to see that Kevin was feeling perfectly fine, and that he had enjoyed their night of love as much as he had, he would make sure to thank his two friends who had helped them to make this first night unforgettable.
Kevin came and sat down next to Axel and as he knew Axel didn't like to talk when he had just woken up, he told him, while they were sharing their breakfast, what he had discovered about the changes of his daily quests, his passive skills, the fact that the Darkness element had appeared with the other ones ...
Axel listened intently and when they had finished their breakfast, he was awake enough to join in the conversation and he exclaimed very enthusiastically : "Babe, this is really great, that means we can practice together now."
Kevin smiled at him and said : "Yep, we can train together, and I can train Erik too, I just need to figure out what to do when I wake up at 5am now ..."
Kevin hadn't given it too much thought yet, but the best option at the moment seemed to be crafting potions, which would allow him to gain lot of Soul force points and also experience points.
Axel had turned pale and he said quickly : "5am it's too early for me babe ..."
Kevin got up from the bed and said : "I know Axel, we'll do my 3 hours of fighting in the afternoon and when you and Erik won't be there, I'm sure it won't hurt Alan to train a little bit."
Axel got up too, he was still naked and he came to take Kevin in his arms : "What are you thinking then ?"
Kevin answered him honestly while putting his arms around his neck : "Either meditation or crafting potions, but potions give me more benefit at the moment, so I think I will favor them."
Axel nodded and carried him to the bathroom, as Kevin had woken him up early, they had time to do a little extra activity.
Kevin saw Axel's eye color darken and he told him quickly : "Axel be reasonable, my body isn't fully recovered from yesterday and I need to be in good shape for what await us in this dungeon."
Axel chuckled and after kissing him passionately and closing the bathroom door he said to him : "Don't worry babe, I'm going to be reasonable, I promise."
Kevin restrained himself to yell at him 'my ass you're going to be reasonable, your eyes are showing your true intentions to me'.
An hour later, Axel and Kevin were fully equipped and ready to go, and to Kevin's relief, Axel had really been reasonable.
He had only masturbated them together while taking their shower, and he had also promised him that tonight he wouldn't be so reasonable.
But he said that he shouldn't worry though, because the second time would be much less painful for him, 'ahem ... let's not think about that and focused on what's is waiting for us today first'.
When Alan and Erik had joined them, they were also fully equipped and Axel asked Kevin if he could check Alan's sword Stats.
Alan curious handed his sword to Kevin, he had never used it since his cousin had given it to him, it was a long sword as he liked them, and the color of its blade was a flaming red except for the edges which was the same color as that of its hilt.
Its hilt was a blood red color and when Axel saw it closer he hissed in amazement and said to Alan : "I didn't know your cousin gave you an artifact, have you already made a blood pact with your sword ?"
Kevin took the sword in his hand when he saw that Alan was staring dumbfounded at Axel, apparently he had no idea that his sword was an artifact, but given the color of the hilt it looked like it had been cut straight from the Nerudium.
Because that color, without a doubt, looked like the Nerudium that they had set aside for their personal use, so it was a high grade one.
Kevin was really eager to see what kind of Stats could give a high grade Nerudium so he activated his perception skill and read the information out loud for everyone.
[ ARTIFACT ]
High grade sword : + 250 Strength points, + 100 Agility points, + 70 Stamina points.
Fire element : + 400% damage, Chakra points required to activate : 500
