Chapter 108 - A Devious Scheme (2/2)
'Sigils of Tempering has been upgraded to 1/3.'
Whoosh!
As the notification popped up in front of Aurus' field of vision, Aurus' consciousness was frozen to a still as he heard a gust of wind blow through his mind, a surge of intangible energy entering his soul in an instant before forming a rune in his mind. And just like that, the first Soul Sigil that was part of the Sigils of Tempering was carved in Aurus' soul without any pain whatsoever.
After a few seconds, Aurus' consciousness was returned to normal, allowing him to check the changes in the Soul Enchantment System, specifically his Soul Power.
________
[Soul Enchantment System]
Soul Power: 5 (Damage +10%)
--------
[Rank 0 — Sigils of Tempering] – 1/3
[Rank 1 — ???? ?? ??????] – Needs the Sigils of Tempering to be mastered
_________
”Oh?” Aurus noticed that there were a few words beside his Soul Power, regarding about a boost in his damage output. Though it did surprise him quite a bit, it was not too shocking since he had a skill like [Zenith Spirit Transcendence] to boost his damage by a superb amount. ”I need to carve 2 more Soul Sigils of Tempering, then I can partake in the inheritance.”
”Let's do just that then!”
”Upgrade the Sigils of Tempering to its maximum level.”
Ding!
Just like before, another prompt appeared in front of the Soul Enchantment System's screen, asking Aurus, 'Would you like to use 3 Genesis Points to upgrade the Sigils of Tempering to 3/3?'
Without hesitation, Aurus replied with a ”Yes.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Again, just like before, Aurus' consciousness frozen to a still as he heard two gusts of wind this time, carrying a larger surge of intangible energy towards his soul as two Soul Sigils were carved beside the Soul Sigil that was carved earlier, forming a complete picture that resonated with his soul, elevating his soul to a level that made it firmer and stronger than before.
If Aurus' soul before the addition of Soul Sigils was like a house made out of pieces of wood that was just found in the surroundings, then the addition of the complete set of Soul Sigils allowed the pieces of wood to become uniform and create a sturdy house that one could live in.
Ding!
'Sigils of Tempering has been upgraded to 3/3.'
'Due to the Sigils of Tempering being complete, another point of Soul Power has been added.'
'Due to the Sigils of Tempering being complete, the next set of Soul Sigils, the Sigils of Inner Tempering, has been unlocked.'
Skimming through the notifications that appeared in front of his field of vision after his consciousness went back to normal, Aurus then checked the changes in the Soul Enchantment System.
________

Soul Power: 8 (Damage +40%)
--------
[Rank 0 — Sigils of Tempering] – Mastered
[Rank 1 — Sigils of Inner Tempering] – 0/5
[Rank Upper 1 — ???? ?? ?? ????] – Needs the Sigils of Inner Tempering to be mastered
________
”I finally have enough Soul Power to partake in the inheritance,” Aurus could not help but say as he tried to make the voice that resounded in his mind a while ago react to his change.
He moved for a bit around the room, before getting a response from the inheritance in the form of the voice that resounded in his mind before.
”The inheritor has met all the necessary requirements needed to partake in the inheritance.”
”Measuring the inheritor's skills and stats…”
”Measurement complete. Inheritance difficulty has been set to A.”
”Reward has been changed to adjust to new inheritance difficulty.”
”Inheritance has been adjusted to three trials.”
After this, a long silence filled the whole room. This was destroyed not long after as Aurus' body turned incorporeal before disappearing from the room altogether, concurrently with the voice that resounded in his mind saying…
”Inheritor, welcome to the Inheritance of Area 52.”
