Chapter 57 - Fourth World, Power (1/2)
Ding!
Without skipping a heartbeat...well a nonexistent heartbeat, a screen appeared in front of Aurus' field of vision which showed Aurus the possible evolutions for the skills he wanted to evolve. Of course, with him commanding the system to evolve [Illusion Resistance] first, the first screen he got showed the choices for the [Illusion Resistance] skill's evolution.
________
Please choose the skill that [Illusion Resistance] will evolve into:
[Greater Illusion Resistance]
[Illusion Reflection]
________
”Man, it has been a while since I've seen this screen,” Aurus could not help but say as he looked at the two paths for [Illusion Resistance]. Ever since he became an A-grade Inanimate, he decided to just leave it up to the system to evolve as most of the skills he evolved nowadays didn't really have a branching path. Hence, he was slightly startled after seeing a screen appear in front of his field of vision after commanding his system to evolve both skills.
”Identify the two possible choices,” Aurus commanded after inferring the effects of the two skills. ”If my guesses are correct, one gets me closer to becoming impervious to illusions, while the other one doesn't make me impervious yet, but allows me to retaliate back to the one that casted the illusion.”
Ding!
Not long after commanding the system, two screens that showed details on the two choices appeared in front of the choice screen, allowing Aurus to see both of them at the same time.
_______
[Greater Illusion Resistance]
Grade: B (Mortal)
You are now resistant to lower leveled illusions, while higher leveled illusions seem easier to escape. There is an extremely small chance for you to nullify the casted illusion.
_______
_______
[Illusion Reflection]
Grade: B (Mortal)
In exchange for having the same resistance to illusions at the level of the C-grade version of this skill, you now have a slight chance to reflect the illusion casted on you, back to the caster.
_______
After reading through both of the skills' descriptions which was thankfully short due to the option of 'Short evolution and skill info' being enabled by the system, one of the skills caught his eye and basically made Aurus adamant on choosing that skill.
”Evolve [Illusion Resistance] to [Greater Illusion Resistance]!” Aurus did not hesitate to shout out as he was the only one within the green jade hall... that's if you consider the disembodied voice as a nonliving being anyway.
Ding!
'[Illusion Resistance] has been evolved to [Greater Illusion Resistance].'
”Alright, now I won't be affected by low leveled illusions, only extremely intricate illusions can affect my sense of reality right now,” Aurus let out a sigh of tense relief as he knew that it would be helpful for the current him who was currently trying to escape from the illusion worlds of the inheritance, which were definitely high level illusions. Nonetheless, after that, it would be rare for him to fall under illusions...unless he became an Animate, then it would be extremely useful for him.
”As for the extremely small chance of nullifying an illusion, I just hope luck smiles upon me and activates it,” Aurus sarcastically chuckled as another screen appeared in front of his field of vision.
Ding!
________
Please choose the skill that [Soul Perception I] will evolve into:
[Soul Perception II]
[Sight Perception I]
________
After coming across the two choices, Aurus did not hesitate to choose the former skill as a spark of realization came to his mind.
