Chapter 63 - Will of the Inheritance (1/2)
Ding!
After the disembodied voice announced Aurus' rewards after clearing the third trial, Aurus was greeted with two lines of text on a screen that popped up in front of his field of vision.
'[Tempestuous Spiritas Glide] has leveled up five times.'
'Experience +5000'
After reading through the information written on the screen, he looked at his status screen and noticed that he had over 12,000 unused experience points at the moment. He had a feeling that when he evolves to an S-grade Inanimate, he would have no need to kill branches and saplings for experience, but relying on his unused experience points to raise his level to its max instead.
As for his movement skills being upgraded 5 times, Aurus was of course happy, considering the fact that he had the [Gale Hover] spell that boosted his movement speed by 150% and the [Tempest Burst] that doubled his movement speed on top of that.
Not to mention, he also had Fenrir's ally skill.
”Now that I think about it, what's the effects of Fenrir's ally skill right now?” Aurus commanded the system to reveal information on Fenrir's ally skill, where a screen appeared in front of his field of vision not long after.
Ding!
________
[Blessing of the Wind Wolf]
Grade: B (Mortal)
A Wind Wolf, a variant of the common wolf that specializes in speed. Nonetheless, it is still stronger than a normal wolf, with its senses and speed boosted further by the fact that they are blessed by the wind.
> Perception range +20%
> Movement speed +50%
> Attack and Vitality stat +20%
________
”Holy...” Aurus did not expect such a big jump in terms of effects from evolving Fenrir to B-grade Inanimate. Just because the Wind part of Fenrir was awakened, his movement speed that was previously boosted by 10% with Fenrir's ally skill...was now being boosted by 50 percent?
He could not help but shudder inwardly at his movement speed in the future when Fenrir evolves into a higher grade, boosting the effects of the ally skill even more, or even when he evolves his movement skill to X-grade Mortal or even Transcendent grade.
With the thought of his movement speed being boosted drastically thanks to Fenrir's ally skill, Aurus took a glimpse at his current movement speed and started to calculate in his mind.
”With [Tempestuous Spiritas Glide] at Level 11, I can currently move at a speed of 350 meters per hour. With Fenrir's ally skill in effect, that's boosted to 525 meters per hour. And with [Gale Hover] and [Tempest Burst] activated, I can move at a speed of...”
After calculating his movement speed that took all of those buffs into consideration, Aurus was at a loss for words. From his speed in the second trial that only went as far as 1.55 kilometers per hour, this was now boosted to a maximum speed of 2.62 kilometers per hour. More or less, it was already double his previous maximum speed after activating all of the buffs.
After calculating all of that, he placed it in the back of his mind as he said, ”I can already move at a speed of over 500 meters per hour with Fenrir's ally skill always in effect.”
That was the advantage of having an ally. Even with the ally being hidden from others, their ally skills would still be in effect.
Surprisingly, the disembodied voice resounded throughout the hall after Aurus was finished with his calculation, as if it was now respecting Aurus' time.
”The fourth and final trial, Will of the Inheritance, shall begin in 30 seconds.”
”The inheritor shall pass through the entrance that would appear inside the green jade hall not long after, and the inheritance shall deem whether the inheritor is truly worthy of the inheritance or not.”
”Eh?” Aurus was quite confused. Aren't inheritances supposed to be not picky towards the inheritors? This was the first thought that came to Aurus' mind as he listened to the disembodied voice's words.
Thinking that he was worthy of the inheritance, he decided that nothing bad would happen to him in the final trial in this inheritance. This was also the only trial left barring his way from getting [Blessing of the Tempest], which would boost his movement speed even further, and [Stick Regeneration], a healing skill he really needed if he were going to fight branches and trees of the higher grade more often.
Seconds passed by without Aurus noticing. Once the 30 seconds were up, the disembodied voice resounded throughout the green jade hall once more as a doorway appeared on one side of the green jade hall, leading to a long corridor.
”The fourth and final trial, Will of the Inheritance, has now begun.”
”May I ask the inheritor to pass through the entrance that appeared inside the green jade hall.”
