Chapter 61 - Double Surprise (1/2)
Whoosh!
A few seconds later after being teleported out of the fourth illusion world, Aurus appeared inside the green jade hall, still in the same place he appeared whenever he finished an illusion world, the center.
”Hah! I'm finally back!” Aurus had the urge to kiss the floor of the hall as he felt safe within the confines of this hall as nothing unexpected would happen to him. After suppressing this urge, he then pondered on the happenings within the fourth illusion world. ”To think that Animates can also evolve, or is it just the machinations of the illusion world?”
Ever since he heard from Herellia that one of the strongest powers within the Tempest Cliff was a rock that evolved into a beast at the Animate existence level, he had his assumptions as to whether everything around had the possibility to evolve and grow stronger.
So far, he has only seen sticks evolve, hence he could not answer that question at the moment, although he wanted to know answer real bad.
Of course, in the midst of his contemplation, the disembodied voice resounded throughout hall as it snapped Aurus back to reality.
”The fourth world, Power, has been escaped from in the time of 18 minutes and 48 seconds. Score grade: S.”
”Hoh? A score grade of S? It seems that I'm quite lucky!” Aurus could not help but exclaim in disbelief as the score grades he got from the previous three illusion worlds were straight A's.
If only he knew that Kurohana accidentally focused on Herellia with her Luck Orb for a bit, resulting in his luck being diminished for a short while, then Aurus could not decide whether to laugh or cry.
Nonetheless, Aurus did not know about this and was nonchalant to all of the happenings in the Celestial Plane, hence he decided to listen to the disembodied voice attentively as he wanted to know what rewards a score grade of S could give.
”As the inheritor has done an exemplary job in escaping the illusion world with a fast time, the reward given shall be extremely helpful to the inheritor, and it is also related to the illusion world that has been escaped from,” the disembodied voice continued to speak.
”After careful consideration to the inheritor's characteristics, an Ally has been given to you!”
”Eh?”
Ding!
All of a sudden, a screen appeared in front of his field of vision as tiny little fragments that came from thin air coalesced into a figure that resembled a smaller Aurus.
Whoosh!
Not long after, after the tiny fragments coalesced to form this figure, it then transformed into a stick that was extremely corporeal as two protruding spikes appeared on the top of its body, seemingly looking like the two ears of an animal that he saw in the illusion world he escaped from.
”Dog?” This was the first word that came into Aurus' mind after seeing this small stick manifest beside him. Surprisingly, it rotated its body along its axis as it faced Aurus face-to-face, considering that the side that had the two protrusions was its front.
”Awh!” Not long after, a bark could be hears within Aurus' mind as he could feel the emotions hidden with that single bark.
”Eh? I'm your master?” Aurus was flabbergasted for a bit before deciding to look at the screen that he ignored all this time.
'The ally 'Fenrir' has been added to your party!'
'The quality of the ally 'Fenrir' is S grade!'
”Eh?” Aurus was shocked once more as he read through the information written on the screen. ”To think that the first ally I would get is an S-grade ally.”
Just like the grades that separated the species within the same existence level, allies within the Ally system could be split into 7 grades which dictates its maximum potential in terms of evolution and speed of leveling up. From lowest to highest, these grades are: D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS respectively.
Of course, Aurus did not expect much from his allies as they would only serve to boost his power, hence he didn't care about their grades. But since this ally came from the inheritance, Aurus of course thought that there was something different with this Fenrir in front of him, hence he identified it.
Ding!
