”Are you really sure you want to go to Verdant Breeze Town?” After looking through Argentum's current skills, Aurus could not help but think twice about his decision. ”Although [Boundless Potential] does look like a skill that would help you out, you still cannot hide the fact that your affinities and level of mastery over magic is weak. Can't you postpone your departure to a time where your skills are at a decently higher level?”
”Or…I could just grind my skills along the way while I make my way to Verdant Breeze Town,” Argentum refuted Aurus's words as he added, ”You absorbed the Transcending Comprehension Leaf.”
At this point, Aurus was awakened to the fact that Argentum had thought about his idea multiple times in his head, the goal of which was to become as strong as possible, as fast as possible. Realizing this, Aurus muttered to himself, ”How could I be so fickle-minded…”
After that, he let out a long sigh before an aura of support and elation radiated from Aurus as he said, ”Alright then. It seems you've thought about this quite a lot. I should learn a thing or two from my clone from time to time.”
”Don't be so harsh on yourself,” Argentum replied with a light chuckle. ”I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your choices.”
”True,” Aurus replied before chuckling as well. Not long after, he then said, ”But still, I can't help but worry that something bad might happen to you. As a Pseudo-Animate, you're more prone to being caught by Animates and turn you into some piece of equipment.”
It was then…that a certain skill Aurus had came to mind.
”Unless…” With this in mind, Aurus's worries were washed away, replaced with a feeling of confidence and excitement for what Argentum would accomplish. ”Argentum, I have no clue if this would work on you or not, but it's still worth a shot.”
”Hmm?” Hearing Aurus's words, Argentum could not help but be confused. Of course, it did not take long for Argentum to get what Aurus was saying, with Aurus muttering the name of a skill not long after.
”[Wisdom Transfer].”
Whoosh!
It did not take long for a screen to appear in front of Aurus's field of vision, listing down all of the skills he had. To be honest, he was quite shocked after looking at the screen because, unlike Fenrir and Charisa, even more skills could be passed onto Argentum than he thought, even though he was a Pseudo-Animate!
Just as Argentum was about to ask what skills Aurus was going to transfer to him, Aurus went ahead and commanded the system, ”Transfer all of the skills that could be transferred to Argentum.”
Ding!
Not long after, Aurus obtained a notification from the system as the system's voice resounded in his mind, saying, ”All transferable skills shall be transferred to Argentum. Due to the difference in existence level, the transferred skills shall have their efficacies and grades diminished.”
'That's the least of my worries,' Aurus thought to himself as he laughed inwardly. As long as Argentum had more skills at the start of his journey, it was akin to giving him a headstart in becoming someone strong! But surprisingly, another notification resounded in his mind, shocking him as he muttered, ”Eh?”
”Thanks to the grades of the transferred skills, the penalty has been nullified,” the system said.
”All transferable skills have been successfully transferred and adapted to Argentum's body.”
Ding! Ding! Ding!
While Argentum was still in shock as to what Aurus had said, he was snapped back to reality by the multiple notifications he had received quite some time later. Although he knew that these notifications were related to the skills Aurus had transferred to him, he did not know how much it was, prompting him to check how much skills he had obtained.
Whoosh!
”[Infinite Primordial Morph] has been transferred to the user. Due to the limitation of the skill of the user that transferred the skill and the body of the current user, it has been adapted to [Hundred Facade Polymorph].”
”[Heavenly Spiritas Revival] has been transferred to the user. Due to the limitation of the skill of the user that transferred the skill and the body of the current user, it has been adapted to [Grand Breeze Rejuvenation].”
”…”
”…”
”[Grace of the Divine Tempest] has been transferred to the user. Due to the limitation of the skill of the user that transferred the skill and the body of the current user, it has been adapted to [Blessing of the Great Wind].”
A total of six skills had been transferred to Argentum, with most of them taking care of the areas that Argentum was lacking. After reading through the notifications, Argentum went ahead and looked through all of the descriptions of the skills, making him look at Aurus with an aura of gratitude radiating from him.
'With these new skills, I could rest assured that I'll be able to clear a dungeon safely! I might even get more from it!' Argentum thought as he closed the screens regarding the skill descriptions not long after.
Taking in a deep breath, Argentum looked at Aurus and said, ”I guess I'll be leaving then. See you in two weeks?”
”Yeah, see you in two weeks,” Aurus said as he radiated an aura of concern. Noticing this, Argentum let out a sigh inwardly as he turned around to head towards the direction where Verdant Breeze Town was.
Whoosh!
Just as he was about to start moving, he heard the faint sound of wind coming from his back, prompting him to turn his head around to see what made that around. Surprisingly, he looked back and noticed that Aurus was gone. He could not help but think that Aurus had finally gone back to the alliance base, making him let out a sigh of disappointment inwardly.
But then…he heard a voice coming from beside him.
”You know what? Your idea has inspired me a bit before I go and evolve to X-grade.”
”How about I go on an adventure as well?”
