Chapter 16 - To The Tempest Cliff (2/2)

”No,” Dane shook his head as he replied. At this moment, he let out a small giggle which could be heard from the other side of the call. ”It's something even better.”

”What could possibly be better than a Wind Branch?” Vanadir frowned a bit after hearing Dane's statement, but after a while, Dane's eyes widened in shock. ”Don't tell me it's...”

”It's what you're thinking,” Dane replied with certainty. ”A mana-infused Wind Branch. A woodcutter happened to pass by it a few days ago while he was chopping some trees from the Desolate Forest. Do you want to know its true name?”

Hearing the phrase 'mana-infused Wind Branch', Vanadir couldn't help but jump in joy. 'With a mana-infused Wind Branch as the core of my specialized weapon, with my current power as a Rank 2 Junior Windwalker, I could possibly reach the combat power of a beginner Rank 4 Grand Windwalker!'

At this moment, Vanadir knew he was getting too excited and took a few deep breaths to calm himself. Not long after, he then asked, ”What's its true name?”

Dane, after a few moments of silence, answered.

”The Wind Walnut Branch.”

...

Unknowingly, over three days have passed ever since Aurus started heading towards the Tempest Cliff. During this time, other than rolling, he was raising the levels for his [SP Storage] skill, [Regenerative Fruit Creation] skill, and [Infused Nut Shot] skill.

To be honest, who could blame Aurus who previously didn't have any skills to level while rolling other than his movement skill? Of course, he would use this idle time to make himself stronger as a rough plan was formulated in his mind.

”First, raise [Wind Affinity] to at least B-grade Mortal level. Then, head back to the Lesser Experience Haven and kill the Boss of the Haven to obtain a special item. Afterwards, evolve.”

After a while, another notification screen popped up in front of Aurus. Aurus looked at it for a bit before placing it to the side of his field of vision as the notification sound he wanted to pop up hasn't appeared yet.

And finally, after shortening the distance to only 4 kilometers between him and the Tempest Cliff, Aurus looked at the notification screen in front of him, making his eyes light up.

Finally, the notification he was waiting for!

Ding!

'[Regenerative Fruit Creation] has leveled up twice.'

'[Condensed SP Storage] has leveled up four times.'

'[Infused Nut Shot] has leveled up four times.'

'[Roll++] has leveled up thrice.'

'[Regenerative Fruit Creation], [Condensed SP Storage], [Infused Nut Shot], and [Roll++] has reached the MAX level.'

'[Regenerative Fruit Creation], [Condensed SP Storage], [Infused Nut Shot], and [Roll++] has met the necessary requirements needed and is ready to evolve.'

At this point, Aurus stopped where he was and looked at his surroundings to see if any possible enemies were nearby. Making sure that there was none, he let out a grin only he could see.

”Man, I ended up heading towards the Tempest Cliff at a level lower than what was recommended. I shouldn't have haphazardly decided to head there without preparing. Anyways, raising all of these to the max level would help me last a bit longer there so...”

”Evolve [Roll++].”
