Chapter 64 - What? (2/2)

”As long as the inheritor is of a species that is related to the Wind element, they would fully inherit the inheritance?” Aurus muttered to himself, only for him to see the old human nodding at him.

”That's right. Once you leave this world I made, you now have full control over this inheritance, and you have access to all of the skills that the inheritance offers. Not only that, you can ask me any question you have at any time.”

”Ask any question I have at any time?” Aurus could not believe it. With the old human offering that up, it would not be hard for him to obtain information about the world of Animates anymore.

Ding!

”Eh?” Aurus did not expect that a screen would appear in front of his field of vision while he was talking to the human in front of him.

'The skill [Sage's Knowledge] has been obtained.'

In the midst of Aurus looking at the screen that popped up in front of him, the old human intervened and actually shocked him. ”You obtained a skill named [Sage's Knowledge] right?”

”What the...” Aurus was shocked to the point the Animas that made up his body shivered. ”Don't tell me...you can see my system?”

The Existence Evolution System was one of his most guarded secrets ever since he reincarnated to this world. To think that the old human would know of it?

”Your system? I've already seen through it ever since you started the inheritance. Even your friend has a system.” The old human did not hide anything in his reply.

”Wha—” Aurus could not believe it. Herellia also had a system as well? After thinking about it for a bit, he knew that it would have to happen in the first place. ”Since she was blessed by the Goddess of Kinship, it isn't weird for a Goddess to bestow a system like mine on her.”

Aurus let out a sigh as the old human was looking at him. ”Do you have any more questions?”

”No, none at the moment. I think all of the questions I have in my mind have been answered already,” Aurus replied in a despondent manner.

”Cheer up! You would have access to a lot of skills that your friend wouldn't have access to!” The old human tried to cheer Aurus up. ”Also, make sure to keep the vault of skills a secret.”

”Don't worry, although we're of the same alliance, I won't divulge this secret,” Aurus replied, still despondent. ”Anyways, can you tell me your name now?”

The old human laughed for a bit before nodding his head. ”Alright, my name is Evinkell, once you create a Spirit Clone of yourself as a human, make sure to grow strong before meeting me.”

”Eh? Why?” Aurus had an ominous feeling from what Evinkell said to him. ”Use the Spirit Clone skill to create a human clone of myself, what's the reason behind that?”

Evinkell's expression then turned serious as he replied, ”The faster you create your Spirit Clone, the better. Since I'm a sage, I can peer into the future. Sooner or later, your current body will be put through hell.”

Aurus could not help but shudder from Evinkell's words. Even though he did not know how his current body would be put through hell, he still felt pressure.

Seeing that Aurus' expression was tense, Evinkell let out a sigh before saying, ”Don't put this into heart, Aurus. It might be years before it befalls you.”

”Now that I think about it, I have another question.” A question flashed through Aurus' mind, since Evinkell was an Animate. ”Do Animates know that Inanimates like us are actually sentient?”

Evinkell nodded. ”Yes, those who are extremely strong among the Animates know that Inanimates are sentient, albeit extremely rare. Even this inheritance was made for Inanimates.”

He then continued, ”As for the majority of the Animates, that would be a no.”

Since the majority of the Animates did not know they were sentient, Aurus could now breathe easy. ”Alright, that's all of the questions I have.”

Evinkell could not feel an aura of determination radiating from Aurus, making him lightly smile. ”Okay then, once you leave this world, you shall now be the owner of this inheritance.”

He then snapped his fingers as Aurus' body gradually became more and more incorporeal before vanishing from the world where Evinkell existed.

Although Aurus was now gone from Evinkell's world, Evinkell's voice still resonated through Aurus' sense of hearing. His words were...

”Congratulations, you have fully cleared the inheritance.”
