Chapter 72 - Long Awaited Evolution (2/2)
Whoosh!
The alliance members that voiced their complaints could not help but look at the Spirit Spear that was shot out, only to be stupefied by the aftermath of the Spirit Spear.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Although the trees around the alliance's base of operations was sparse, as if it had a mind of its own, the Spirit Spear pierced through each and every tree that was visible to the alliance members, even going so far as to bursting the upper half.
”...” Seeing that Aurus was able to execute an extremely strong skill, the feelings of envy the alliance members showed were replaced with feelings of fear, as if a monster joined their alliance.
At this moment, Herellia spoke out. ”To all of the alliance members that had doubts as to Aurus' true power, it's better if you don't think about it. His limit is far from what you imagine.”
”You can all go do your own things now.” After this, Herellia turned around and gestured Aurus with a blood tendril as she hovered back to the long corridor.
Aurus, who had the same plan in mind, decided to follow Herellia from behind.
”Just shout my name out if you want me to take you on a tour.” As he followed Herellia, a voice resounded through his mind.
”Alright.” Aurus inwardly nodded as he disconnected from the SP connection.
It took the two around ten minutes to come back to the small ecosystem that they traversed a while ago.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
The two of them landed on the end of the corridor. Herellia looked at Aurus and said, ”Hey Aurus, I have something to t—”
Just as Herellia summoned up the courage to tell Aurus about her system, Aurus could not help but ask, ”Do you have any secluded place in here where I can't be disturbed?”
”Eh?” Of course, Herellia was not expecting this question, taking her a few seconds to ponder for a bit before answering, ”Head towards the building beside the alliance lobby. I'm sure that there are a few secluded rooms there.”
”Alright, thanks!” Aurus let out a cheerful aura as a way of smiling before hovering towards the building beside the alliance lobby.
”Haah...” Herellia could not help but sigh to herself. ”Just as I was about to tell him about my system, he decides to move away.”
”I don't know if this is a good thing or not.” In the end, Herellia put this incident in the back of her head, before going back to her usual duties.
...
”I finally made it.” Aurus looked at the building in front of him that took him around half an hour to traverse.
The building did not look anything special at all from the outside, since it was just an extremely large stone cube. A doorway that was similar to the alliance lobby's size was carved onto the stone cube, allowing Aurus to enter an interior that was somewhat similar to a cozy wooden cabin.
It took him a few minutes of exploring the inside to find the secluded room that Herellia was talking about, entering without hesitation not long after.
”Haah...” At this moment, Aurus let out a long sigh as the aura he exuded intensified by a great amount. ”I can finally stop suppressing this aura.”
Ever since he became the owner of the Tempest Cliff Inheritance, the aura he exuded was intensified by multiple times, giving him an aura that could compete against peak S-grade Inanimates.
Of course, a jump like that would surprise Herellia once he came out, hence he suppressed it to a level where it was still believable.
Now that he was alone in a secluded room, Aurus felt that his nonexistent chest felt lighter as he could not help but shout, ”I can finally evolve the skills I grinded!”
”System, open the notification log.”
Ding!
After clearing the inheritance, becoming its owner, becoming a part of the Tempest Branch Alliance, he was finally going to evolve his skills.
