Notifications kept on appearing, one after another as the two creatures were jabbering, gabbling. Their tone was agitated, nervous, even carrying hints of fright as they clicked and cluttered.

With the previous hurdle now resolved, Aiden just needed to give the process a bit of time, and allow the analyzation to be completed and the skill to be created.

Meanwhile, he could only try to act the part and display the arrogant, conceited master's figure, hoping that these two wouldn't suspect anything in the process.

Thus, Aiden retained the coldness in his eyes as he slowly gazed at the guard at his right, then at the one on the left. He didn't utter a word, not even a scoff.

Slowly, he raised his right arm and pointed towards the far end of the hallway. He nodded his head whilst showing pure disdain and contempt before he ignored the raining questions of the two and began to walk towards the direction the trio came before.

Meanwhile, he kept some of his attention on the system, monitoring the progress of the skill, smirking inwardly as he watched climbing at a rapid pace.

Aiden wasn't actually sure that the steep increase the progress bar showed was related to the fact that he resolved the issue previously and was now using a clean, pure form of these creatures, or mayhaps he received some kind of a boost from the absorbed elder?

Though, he doubted the latter as he was yet to merge his memories into his mind, still, he couldn't completely exclude the possibility.

Either way, after a few steps, as he walked away from his jail cell and left the two lagging behind, he watched as the progress quickly reached 20%, then swiftly surpassed 30%.

By the time the two guards woke up from their trance and hurriedly rushed after their master, it was already at 45% done with the language system process. Aiden could only hope that the subsequent timer before the skill would be created wouldn't be too long. From the lightning-fast progress it was making, he was hoping it wouldn't be too complex of a task.

As the guards ran after their master, they continued clicking their tongues, calling out for him, trying to get some sort of response from him. Still, their master seemed to be ignoring their questions.

Still, he seemed fine. Bit cold and more distant than usual, but based on the sudden increase in power, he might be focused on getting back as fast as he could and issue a challenge to the High Priest.

As the idea appeared in their minds, they looked at each other with the realization. A hopeful, cheerful smile quickly plastered over their gazes, as they now, shifted from their worried questions to throwing praises and cheerful exclamations whilst keeping up the pace with their master.

This change, this shift in tone was actually very welcomed by Aiden, as it gave yet another boost to the progress he was making in the system. In the blink of an eye, several notifications blocked Aiden's vision.
