As I checked my status after the creature's demise, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had gained three soul power points from the encounter. It was a significant boost to my magical prowess, and I knew that every point I earned would make me stronger in future battles.

I took a moment to savor the victory and reflect on the valuable experience gained from facing such a formidable opponent.

With Sacril by my side, I continued on our way, knowing that each challenge we faced would bring us one step closer to mastering our abilities and achieving our goals.

After some thought, I decided to put two points into the physique, making it reach level 5.

Soul Power: 0 Points."

As I decided to allocate two of my soul power points to my physique, a transformation began to take place. I felt a strange sensation within me, as if my body was undergoing a subtle but profound change. My eyes, in particular, started to change, their color and intensity shifting in a way that was both fascinating and slightly unsettling.

During this process, I also began to hear a series of faint, almost imperceptible crunchy noises emanating from within my body. It was as though my very bones and muscles were adapting to the newfound power I was harnessing.

After about ten seconds of this transformation, I opened my eyes wide, feeling the surge of energy coursing through me. With a sense of exhilaration, I exclaimed, "My physical defense and endurance have increased by at least two times!"

I could feel the difference immediately. My body felt more resilient, as if I had been fortified from within. It was a tangible testament to the power of soul allocation and the growth that could be achieved through careful and strategic choices.

"It seems like I gained another ability too."

As I checked my new ability, "Iron Body," I couldn't help but appreciate its simplicity and self-explanatory nature. The name itself conveyed a sense of resilience and durability, fitting for the increased protection it granted me.

Iron Body provided a significant boost to my defenses. It offered 30% more protection against physical attacks, making me more resistant to the blows and strikes of adversaries. Additionally, it also provided 30% more protection against magical attacks, reinforcing my magical defenses as well.

"I have one more point to use. I think instead of increasing my power stat to four, I need to use this on my spirit to increase it even further. It will increase my pure magical power and my level as a magician.".

"This iron body added a great deal of life-saving ability to me."

What made Iron Body particularly valuable was that it was a passive ability. This meant that I didn't need to actively activate it or expend any additional energy to benefit from its effects. It was a constant enhancement to my physical and magical defenses, providing an added layer of security in all situations.

"In the past, I would not hesitate to put my point into action."

"But now many things are different. As a magician, I knew that increasing spirit directly increased everything about my magic."

"If I increase my spirit, my magical power, control, magical energy reserves, and my magician level, all will have an increase that would be most important to me."

"I guess I need that kind of increase; in the end, being powerful may be important, but not as a powerful magician."

I decided to put my point into the magician, and my head started getting dizzy.
