Of Ronin's three subordinates—Macken, Elron, and Ridder—Elron was the one most in need of an upgrade.
This Transcendent, the second to join him, was still an Intermediate Mage (212/300) and needed just a bit more progress to reach the Advanced Level.
After completing the achievement, Ronin had obtained a full 160 points of Energy Essence. He split this amount, investing 88 points entirely into Elron to help him break through to the Advanced Level.
"How do you feel?"
After doing so, Ronin asked Elron, "Did you get anything new?"
"Yes!"
A sharp light glinted in Elron's eyes. He felt fantastic.
"Lord, I've acquired two types of Magic: the Holy Shield Skill and the Light Binding Skill."
"Oh?" Ronin's interest was piqued. "Tell me about them."
The Holy Shield Skill was a Third-level Light Attribute Magic. To put it simply, it placed a Light Shield on a target that could absorb damage from Magic and Combat Skills, but it couldn't block physical attacks.
