Chapter 110 - Comprehension (2/2)
Because of a certain passive skill that allowed him to be where he was now. That's right, [Blessing of the Reincarnation Goddess]. It effectively increases his experience acquisition rate by 50 percent, which would mean that he would not obtain four times the amount of experience needed to level a skill but rather...six times the experience!
Coming to this conclusion, Aurus could not help but chuckle softly. After a bit, it turned into raucous laughter. Not long after, it turned into a cackle that greatly resounded throughout the large yet plain stone room of the inheritance.
It took him around a minute or so to finally regain his composure and notice that the first trial had already started. Realizing this, his mood had turned serious as he noticed an incredibly bright mote of light at the center of the large room, easily deducing that this mote of light held the technique he had to enhance and evolve.
With a cheerful aura covering his body, he activated [Tempest Levitation] in order to drastically enhance his movement speed, reaching the mote of light in what seemed to be an instant for Inanimates.
As his body touched the mote of light, the mote of light burst out into a myriad of colors, covering Aurus' body with various colors as he shouted with glee, ”It's time to grind!”
...
While Aurus was teeming with happiness as he started his first trial from the inheritance of Area 52, in another boring yet large stone room that spanned at least twice the area than Aurus' room.
Herellia stood...well...uh...stood at a certain place within the room that was nowhere near the center, calmly assessing her surroundings as she waited for the inheritance to make its move.
And make its move it did.
While Herellia was looking at her surroundings, a voice resounded throughout her mind, stating, ”Inheritor, welcome to the inheritance of Area 52.”
”Through a thorough scan, the inheritance has deemed the inheritor not a inheritor, but rather, a candidate for the position of ruler as the ruler candidate has the Bronze Key of Area 52.”
”Unfortunately, this Bronze Key would only allow the ruler candidate to obtain a position of Marquis at most.”
”Would the ruler candidate like to go through the Trials of the Ruler to enhance the Bronze Key to a Silver Key?”
As Herellia heard these statements and questions come from the inheritance, Herellia could not help but ask herself why she entered the inheritance again. To be honest, Herellia was only introduced to the Bronze Key once she cleared the inheritance, only aiming for the Comprehension Leaf at most.
But when she found out about the effects of the Bronze Key, Herellia could not help but ponder as to what effects the keys of higher quality would have. Unfortunately, Herellia did not have another chance to enter the inheritance as she had to manage the alliance.
That was until...Aurus came.
Under the guise of protecting Aurus along the way, Herellia was now attempting the inheritance one more time, wanting to seek the limits of this inheritance's key.
Without hesitation, Herellia responded, ”I would like to go through the Trials of the Ruler.”
A few seconds of silence pass by before the voice could respond. Not only that, this voice was now different from before as it contained a small hint of vitality in it.
”Ruler candidate, from the power you exude, I see that you are deemed fit for a path that would combine speed and blood. Not only that, you also exude great strength beneath that speed, allowing me to ask you the question...”
”As the Supreme Ruler, would you like to tread the Trials of the Sanguine Ruler, becoming a Sanguine Ruler yourself?”
At first, Herellia was dumbfounded as she did not really expect that her powers would be taken into consideration as she pursued a key of higher quality. But since she pursued great strength, this coincidence was definitely great timing.
”I shall tread the trials.”
Bang!
”So be it.”
”We shall now witness the birth of a new Sanguine Ruler.”
”Let the Trials of the Sanguine Ruler...”
”Begin.”
