Chapter 113 - Transcendence (2/2)
As he read the name of the skill, he now had an idea as to why the skill went through such lengths to show its improvement. Maybe it wanted to show Aurus that the skill was connecting to the heavens as a way to show its power over Mortal grade skills?
Anyway, with Aurus evolving [Boundless Spirit Tempering] to its Special grade Transcendent form, Aurus took the skill out of the Learning module before placing two skills he rarely used into the module.
Ding! Ding!
'[Flux Armor Creation] has been placed into the module.'
'[Flux Enchantment] has been placed into the module.'
Seeing that he chose the two skills he wanted to raise, Aurus said to himself, ”With me evolving the skill given by the inheritance to Special grade, it would be overkill to mutate it into a higher grade.”
”That's only suitable for skills I can keep.”
As for the reason why Aurus chose these two low-leveled skills to be raised in the Learning module, it was because Aurus realized that he did not grind out the levels and grades of his skills anymore. Though he was able to get a few levels for some of his skills here and there, it was unlike before where he spent around two weeks to raise multiple skills into a high grade.
”Before I evolve to X-grade, I hope I can raise all of my skills to the limit of Mortal grade.” While committing this goal into memory, Aurus commanded the system to identify the newly evolved skill he received, wanting to know effects of a Transcendent grade skill.

________
[Essence Refinement of the Heaven's Spirit] (Level 1/5)
Grade: C (Transcendent)
When one peers beyond the spirit, one eventually finds out the existence of essence, the intangible yet tangible energy that makes us, us. If one strengthens their spirit, then one strengthens their connection to the body, making the body exert more power. Therefore, if one strengthens their essence, which makes up the spirit, one strengthens the foundations of the spirit, which increases the limit as to how much power the body can exert depending on one specific value of the spirit.
With this skill, one can refine one's essence through the help of the mysterious energy of the heavens, allowing one to be a cut above the rest.
Note that only one's original form can handle this enhancement, any other form or morphed form will let the skill be forcefully disabled in order to not damage the form the being is currently under.
> Increases the efficacy of soul-based techniques by 50%

...
Within the XXXX Continent, slightly far away from the Seraph Kingdom.
Whoosh!
Just like creating something out of nothing, two men appeared near the boundaries of a place that seemed to exude extremely strong energy of the Wind element. Although they stood near the boundaries of this place, their clothes still flailed around as if there was a storm happening nearby.
Of course, these two men were none other than Dane and Vanadir, with Dane finally letting out a sigh of relief as he could not help but mutter, ”We're finally here.”
As for Vanadir, at the very instant he was able to gaze upon the place in front of him, he could not help but tighten his grip on Magnus Tempestria as he said, ”We're finally at the Greater Tempest Cliff!”
With his eyes lighting up akin to a flame that soared above the skies, Vanadir looked at Dane and said, ”Hey Dane, let's enter! I want to try out the skills of this new sword! Not only that, I also want to enhance my combat power!”
As for Dane, who heard the prince's words, he could not help but lightly smile as he snapped his fingers, creating a barrier that covered the both of them as he said, ”If that's what the Highness wishes, then let us head on our merry way.”
”Haha! That's what I'm talking about!” Vanadir could not help but visibly shake with excitement as the two of them entered the Greater Tempest Cliff, finding a beast to test Magnus Tempestria on.
While heading deeper into the cliff, Dane could not help but feel that the pulling feeling on the back of his head grew stronger. As a serious expression creeped up on his face, he asked himself, ”Did the Spiritas just...transition into an Animate? That quick?”
”I hope it's that and it's not the Spiritas going through a fortuitous encounter because no Inanimate can possibly have a soul that strong, one's vessel cannot handle it.”
”But if there was the slightest chance that the Spiritas could handle such soul strength then...”
”I have no possible excuse to shirk away from this desire. I must definitely get my hands on that Spiritas.”
