Legendary Traveler: By Earning Progress Points I will Become Supreme!

On a fundamental and instinctual level, she understood something had changed within herself; it was like she suddenly had a bunch more energy, but because she was young and didn't comprehend the intricacies of Energia, Glacia could only accept that she was a little stronger now since that was exactly what Aoni had said he was doing.

However, between the added attention she was getting from her Lord and the fact that the ripple effect didn't actually 'HURT,' she summoned up the courage to shout.

"Gao Gao!" and requested her third Add Points session.

"Give it a second, miss impatient," with a chuckle, Aoni scanned her from top to bottom, searching for any signs of discomfort; then, giving Glacia a soft tap on the nose, the Lad finished his checkup and prepared the floof for her next upgrade.

"From here on out, that weird thing that just happened will get more powerful, so if at any moment you feel uncomfortable, let me know, Glacia." Wearing the expression one would expect from a parent sending their child off to school for the first time, Aoni kept his voice level and stern, yet just enough that it would instill in his summon the importance of this situation.

"OooO, gaoo," nodding her head like a bobble doll, Glacia, of course, only understood a quarter of her Lord's words, but although innocent and green to the world, she still knew when it was time to be serious about something.

Seeing her reaction, Aoni went ahead with the next upgrade.

'Again, raise Glacia's Grade.'

| Increasing the Grade of Summon: "Glacia" from ★☆ to ★✬ |

| Progress Points Have Been Deducted |

| 20 pp Earned | Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Like before, the feeling of something leaving Aoni's fingertips and turning into some type of static electricity occurred, and this time, it was two times as strong as the last.

It was enough to cause Glacia to flinch for a second as her little ears flicked around, and a worried glint flashed through her eyes before they clouded over slightly, and her head began to droop.

"Hang in there, Glacia; I know you're feeling sleepy, but you gotta stay awake." Noticing her struggles, Aoni nudged the floof slightly, bringing the alertness back to her eyes, as she looked up at him with a look saying, "wha was that?"

'Drowsiness, tremors….' Petting Glacia gently, Aoni noticed a faint fleck of golden light darting around her eyes before it vanished, revealing her Emerald iris' had grown more gemlike.

"Only two more to go till you can sleep, then as I promised, you'll get a reward," shooting her a smile, Aoni waited for the.

"Gao Gao!"

Then, started the next upgrade.

Upon finishing her Grade increase to the Outer Fill-Step, the Lad noticed her claws seemed to darken, and her fur gained a slight luster. Still, apart from that, it was difficult to observe any other physical changes, even if he believed some significant ones were triggered internally.

By this point, he had, for the most part, confirmed what his AN had stated about there being only a little discomfort associated with upgrading his summons, so by the time he finished the final Grade increase, bringing Glacia up to Two-Full-Stars, he was no longer concerned about her falling asleep, and allowed it to happen.

"Sleep well, Glacia, you did great; I am proud of you," leaning forward and nuzzling her head with his own, Aoni heard a faint gao from his floof before her eyes closed, and her breathing turned rhythmic.

'She should be in hibernation now; such a drastic increase in power wouldn't NOT have any drawbacks, so I can expect her to sleep for a few days, RIGHT?' shooting an off-handed comment at his Attribute Notice, Aoni's eyes flicked to the pop up as it appeared.

| Summon: "Glacia" has entered a state of Hibernation to adapt to the changes. |

| Hibernation time, 23 hours, 59 minutes 48 seconds |

'And if I want to upgrade her passives, will it disturb her?'

| No, but it will extend the timeline of the Summon's Hibernation |

Gazing down at the Sleeping Glacia, Aoni couldn't help but smile as he continued petting the floof, amazed at how much softer her fur had become after reaching the final step of the Two-Star-Stage.

'Increase both of Glacia's passives to their current limit.'

Following his words, Aoni could feel a large amount of Energia flowing out of his body, or what he believed to be Progress Points, as in real-time, her portion of the Summon's Display began changing, starting with her Artic Movement attaining its second star.

As it moved along through the steps, the floof's feet began to pulse with soft light, and funnily enough, she kicked her little legs a few times as if running in her sleep, bringing a smile to the Lad's face.

Soon enough, the light moved to her nose, closed eyes, and ears as Glacia's second passive began upgrading, and it was only when the light faded that Aoni stood up and, after requesting that Nyria stay put, brought Glacia to the bedroom, placing her head atop the plush pillow.

Upon returning to the main room, Aoni sat down in front of Nyria and smiled. From the moment the process with Glacia had started, the fledgling was both concerned and anxious, as apparent by the way she would fluff her feathers every so often while watching everything happening intently.

Since it didn't go unnoticed by Aoni, he felt the need to address her concerns.

"Nyria, if you are nervous, it's okay; we can wait and power you up when you are feeling up to it." Stretching out his hand and scratching the fledgling under the beak, Aoni stated in a gentle tone.

"Chee…"@@novelbin@@

'Str…ong…'

"Chee…chee."

'Sis..ter…strong?' Nudging Aoni's hand with her head and enjoying the scratches, Nyria responded, causing Aoni to smile.

"Yep, she just got a whole lot stronger, but because of that, she has to sleep for a couple of days. When she wakes up, I expect she will probably not only be bigger and tougher but SUPPPER hungry," As he spoke, Aoni's eyes followed the updated text box indicating how long Glacia would hibernate.

| Hibernation time, 47 hours, 58 minutes 13 seconds |

"Chee Chee."

However, as he did so, Nyria, having seemingly made up her mind, drew his attention with not only a chee but a determined voice in his mind.

'Add…points!'

'Hm, seems like she doesn't wanna get left behind,'
