Chapter 29 - Future Path, Unknown Danger (1/2)
”Life and Will points...” Aurus mumbled to himself as he continued to roll towards the Tempest Ruin. The silver flame covering his body a while ago had already dissipated since he wasn't fighting anymore.
To Aurus who had retrieved the memories of his early-game stages, he was far too familiar with Life and Will points. Life and Will points were the prerequisites needed in order to evolve to a higher grade, and eventually into a higher level of existence.
Normally, it would be either one of the two, with Life points for those of the Sapling path, and Will points for those of the Branch Formosus path. Although both of them fulfill the same thing at evolution, it was also a peek at the ideologies of the two paths.
The Sapling path was all about accepting the blessings of the world and becoming one with the world, thus allowing them to have exuberant vitality at the Animate level of existence.
As for those of the Branch Formosus path, they have decided to carve their own path as they didn't want to accept the blessings of the world. They had the belief that they could become someone great even without it, ending up having an unyielding will and a fierce spirit once they reach the Animate level of existence.
”Sapling, Young Tree, Mature Tree, Treant,” Aurus continued to mumble as he remembered the evolution paths for the two paths. ”Branch Formosus, Branch Forminosus, Branch Forminosus Grandius, Sentient Branchus.”
After a while, he shook these thoughts off his head as he remembered he was a Spiritas. How could he follow the evolution path of those two paths if his species was a combination of both paths?
What he knew was that he should make his foundations strong right now before evolving. He had already wasted two chances before. In preparation for that, he checked the three skills he evolved a while ago.

________
[Spirit Energy Augmentation] (Lv. 2/5)
Grade: B (Mortal)
As a Spiritas, they wield energy like a swordsman who has used the sword for multiple years. At times, the power of a Spiritas is lacking, hence they sacrifice their SP in exchange for a percentage boost in their overall stats, allowing them to fight against multiple enemies at the same time. The conversion rate of SP to power improves every level up.
Conversion rate: 1.75 SP -> 1% boost
Maximum boost: 60% in all stats
Cooldown: 3 hours
________
________
[High Spirit Channeling] (Lv. 2/5)
Grade: B (Mortal)
As a Spiritas, they are the children of energy, easily manipulating and utilizing energy. At times, they end up having a deficiency in SP, hence they sacrifice their HP for SP. The conversion rate of HP to SP improves at every level up.
Conversion rate: 1.75 HP -> 1 SP
Cooldown: 1.5 hours

________
[High Wind Affinity] (Lv. 1/5)

”Definitely some good skills that would help me deal damage and last longer,” Aurus couldn't help but smile as he looked at the two additional bars hovering above his body. The green and blue bars represented his HP and SP respectively while the two additional bars were colored yellow and red. Aurus instantly knew what they were, given the fact that their length was nowhere near the preceding two.
”Open status screen,” Aurus commanded.
