Chapter 137 - Raising the Ruler Rank (feb3) (2/2)
Ding!
A notification resounded throughout Aurus' mind, causing him to sigh in disbelief at the speed at which he was training his skills.
”Within an hour, I already got all of the Ruler skills to X-grade Mortal level,” Aurus said to himself as he evolved the last Ruler skill that was still not at X-grade Mortal level, the S-grade form of [Will of the Void], [Nihility's Voice].
'[Nihility's Voice] has been evolved to [Serenade of the Universe].'
Whoosh!
Not long after, from a place unknown, a rift in space appeared above Aurus' head, releasing a dark yet powerful energy that could make the hairs of multiple Animates stand up in fear.
Although Aurus could sense this energy, Fenrir and Charisa could not, engrossed in their grinding spree. As for the reason why this was the case, Aurus did not know, moving this question at the back of his mind as the dark yet powerful gradually enveloped his body and seeped in through the pores, melding with each and every Anima and Flux that made up his body.
Not long after, an aura started to be released from his body, giving anyone the feeling that Aurus was the embodiment of the void. Of course, this was just a transient feeling as a notification appeared in front of his field of vision.
Ding!
'Your title has been upgraded.'
'[Substitute Ruler of the Void] has been upgraded to [Assistant Ruler of the Void].'
After reading this notification, Aurus could not help but exude a cheerful aura as he had done what he wanted to do. In fact, he was quite surprised that he had done so within the span of an hour, raising 4 skills from C-grade Mortal to X-grade Mortal.
Within an hour, he had...
Upgraded [Wrath of the Void] to its X-grade form, [Dark Universal Blade]...
Upgraded [Protection of the Void] to its X-grade form, [Impenetrable Shield of Nil]...
Upgraded [Formless Void] to its X-grade form, [All-encompassing Nothingness] and...
Just recently, upgraded [Void's Grace] to its X-grade form, [Serenade of the Universe].
Just from that, he had a feeling that he would be able to raise almost all of his skills to C-grade Transcendent level in less than 4 days, which was the minimum goal he set within these 4 days. If that were the case, he would of course aim higher. B-grade Transcendent, A-grade Transcendent and so on, if he could achieve it, then it was more assurance for the inevitable battle.
As he was about to move onto the other skills he was going to level up, a familiar voice resounded in his mind. This voice could not help but make him remember the Area 52 Inheritance he had just got out of. It was the voice of the Ruler of the Void he had chosen to learn under.
”Congratulations for rising a rank above the rest,” the Void Ruler said to Aurus. Aurus did not know whether he would say thank you or something else to this ruler as it continued to speak.
”At your current rank, you are an Earthbound Ruler, but there are still three more ranks to progress until you become the same level as me, a Voidbound rank Ruler,” the Void Ruler continued to talk.
”In order to ascend to the next rank of becoming a Ruler, you must take the skills you have expounded upon and make them transcend mortality and go further, becoming a decently strong skill amongst the multiple transcended skills out there.”
After that, the voice of the Void Ruler dissipated one more time, with a notification appearing in exchange.
Ding!
'To raise your rank, please upgrade all of your Ruler skills to A-grade Transcendent.'
”Oh, the Ruler shouldn't have to go and use all of those flowery words if he just wanted me to achieve this,” Aurus could not help but say to himself. ”A-grade Transcendent, huh. I'll set the Ruler skills aside as I've already leveled them up.”
”For now though, it's time to focus on my other skills,” Aurus said in a cheerful tone, proceeding to dive down his massive list of skills and grind them out to C-grade Transcendent level.
