However, this was only a minor matter compared to Mageward Barrier that had swallowed up the majority of SP until Darius could no longer add to it... at level 100!
In other words, Gunner's magic damage resistance was now at 100%!
Yes, there was no misconception or misinterpretation here, Gunner was completely immune to magical damage now!
He could now stand up to the Grandmaster of Supreme Magic and wait for the latter to create a giant fireball the size of a meteor to thrust it down at him. The half-giant lad could simply fold up his arms and watch it land on him in futility.
However, doing so would be utterly foolish. He might not receive damage from the spell, but the physical effect of magic or spells would still be in effect.
Although Gunner would not take any flame damage from the spell, he would be smashed into a paste by the sheer weight and velocity of the fireball crashing into him, as well as having his remains shattered into nothingness from the explosion/shockwave as soon as the fireball ruptures.
With the Supreme System, these kinds of skills that gave damage resistance only accounted for raw damage that was calculated by the system (i.e the numbers), not the external/realistic aspects of them.
Finally, Earth's Guardian had climbed from level 30 to 50. Gunner's boost of 160% had upgraded to 255%!
That was it for Gunner, and the large lad doubled over as the changes took effect. Darius watched Gunner who looked to also have reached a peak in a strange way before he came down.
The sheer disappointment for how short that high had lasted was still visible on his face, making Xela simultaneously fearful and anticipatory.
Darius used this chance to open her Character sheet and allocate the stats accordingly.
The Elven Princess currently had a gross total 220 AP and 105 SP, which Darius divvied up to suit her role. Before that though, Darius directly transmuted a Heal spell manual for her to learn on the spot.

Similar to himself and Gunner, Darius had balanced out Xela's stats to bring everything to the Adept standard at the minimum. Afterward, Intellect and Luck had each enjoyed 50 more points, bringing the former to 130 and the latter to a hundred.
Apart from a slight deviation, Xela was practically on par with Darius. Well, they were both mostly spellcasters so their stat allocation was bound to be similar.
Darius had ended up with one spare Ability Point which he also reserved for Xela.
As for her skills, he had been troubled because apart from Heal which benefited from the x5 effect of Transmutation, everything she had was raw. However, her skills were also far better than any cleric or healer as far as the Database on healers went.
After all, how could the Divine Maiden for the Divine Light and Divine Life be compared to the average guy?
As such, Darius could only pinch his nose and bull through. He first placed 19 points into Heal to bring it to the max.
He then shared 35 points into Bless, making it evolve into the Intermediate Divine Blessing and reaching max level.

Grade: Intermediate
Cost: 50 MP per target
Description: With the power of the Divine Light combined with the Divine Life, grant any ally 40% increased Health, Mana, and Stamina regeneration as well as a 10% increase in magical damage and resistance.]
Next was Restore which had also received 30 points to climb from Basic to Intermediate, now being called Divine Restoration.
[Divine Restoration - Level 40 Spell (MAX)
Grade: Intermediate
Cost: 50 MP
Description: Channel Divine Light mixed with Divine Life into the body of any living being to replenish 40% of a target's Health, Mana, and Stamina. Each cast fortifies Defense by 1% to a maximum of 10%.
Note: Cannot be used on the self.]
Spell Mastery and Spell Enhancement received 5 points each, bringing them to level 10. With 10% extra effect and less cost, Xela could be more rampant with her healing if needed.
It was already very hard to kill either Darius or Gunner, but this made it even harder.
None of her other passive had been touched though, since Darius reason they weren't as relevant to her healing.
Right now, he was pushing their group firmly to their respective roles, so that none would have to pick up the slack of another and their cooperation could be smoother.
The remainder of her SP had been placed into Holy Ward, bringing it to level 19 from 8. Unfortunately, it ended up just one point short of bringing it to the Basic limit so that it could be upgraded to an Intermediate spell.
After this was done, Xela's worried expression greatly changed as the changes landed on her. Her feet wobbled as she fell onto the grass with a weak smile, barely able to use her staff to not let her crumple completely.
Eventually, she was able to rise to her feet while panting slightly. Darius and Gunner gave her sympathetic looks, for they could understand the feeling of such a huge improvement crashing down upon them at once then leaving just as quickly as it came.
Darius chuckled. "Well, now that the Event is over and done with, it's time to go home."
Gunner and Xela smiled, excited to move to their territory and move forward from there. Gunner had seen it before and wondered how much those robots had improved that jungle as well as how far that little dungeon had come.
As for Xela, she had yet to step there, so she was filled with endless curiosity and anticipation.
Darius took out a Long Warp Scroll and used it, sending them 10,000 kilometers closer to their destination.
