Chapter 207 - The Third Step (1/2)
Whoosh!
And just like that, Aurus had left the inheritance, albeit awkwardly due to him being found out by Inhee on what he was going to do so with his newfound partial ownership. Letting out a short awkward chuckle after appearing a decent distance away from the inconspicuous magic circle that served as the entrance of the inheritance, he then made sure to forget that awkward situation as he started to teleport his way back to the alliance base.
Whoosh!
While he was making way back to the alliance base, Aurus could not help but think that he had not identified the skills and titles he had received from the Supreme Ruler of the Void, prompting him to command Theresa, who was still on his left shoulder, asking, ”Theresa, could you bring up the descriptions of the skills and titles I've received from the inheritance?”
In response to this, Theresa replied to Aurus's question with a question of its own, saying, ”Would you like me to bring up the descriptions of only the skills and titles you've obtained from the inheritance, or does that include the skills embedded within the skills and titles, Master?”
Hearing that some of the skills and titles he had received from the Supreme Ruler of the Void had embedded skills in some of them, Aurus unhesitatingly decided to choose the latter since he would still have to open up the description of the embedded skill either way.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
And just like that, Theresa followed Aurus's wishes, four small but slightly corporeal screens appearing in front of his field of vision as he continued to teleport his way back to the alliance base. Surprisingly, every time he teleported, the screens that he had summoned would appear at a fixed distance in front of his field of vision. This allowed him to skim through the descriptions without much problem while teleporting, letting out a slightly surprised gasp after reading up on the description of the embedded skill.
”The boosts given by the titles are still normal since [Junior Ruler of the Void] is the third-highest rank for a Ruler of the Void while the Area 52 Inheritance has a lot of power, which in turn gives me a lot of power as well since I'm a partial owner. But this skill…how strong is the Supreme Ruler of the Void to be exact?”
________
[Junior Ruler of the Void]
Effects: Increases all stats by 125%
________
________
[Area 52 Inheritance: Partial Owner]
Effects: Increases all stats by 150%
________
________
[Blessing of the Void's Ruler] (Level MAX)
Grade: Unknown
Seeing the boundless potential of the Inanimate that he has tested, the Supreme Ruler of the Void decided to give this Inanimate a blessing that would allow it to manipulate the element of Void, which it had not done so after obtaining such a title. This skill allows the user to manipulate the element of Void, as well as tap into the powers of the Supreme Ruler of the Void for a short while.
> All active Ruler skills obtained from the [Ruler of the Void] title and its different ranks have now been modified to use up less FP than before.
> All active Ruler skills obtained from the [Ruler of the Void] title and its different ranks have now been modified to be variable in output, wherein the skill's power would depend on how much FP the user infuses into the skill.
> Gain access to the skill [Void Ruler's Parting Gift]
________
________
[Void Ruler's Parting Gift] (Level MAX)
Grade: Unknown
Seeing the boundless potential of the Inanimate that he has tested, the Supreme Ruler of the Void decided to give this Inanimate access to a small amount of power, which would allow the Inanimate to gain access to a few of the Supreme Ruler of the Void's skills. Due to the great power of the Supreme Ruler of the Void, the FP requirements for each of the skills are incredibly high, but the damage they unleash is far higher than what the user is currently able to unleash.
> Gain access to the skill [Void Orb]
Note: The Supreme Ruler of the Void has decided to limit the number of skills available to the user to one for now. But if the user amplifies their stats to the limit of their body, the Supreme Ruler of the Void will increase the number of skills available to the user.
________
Most of Aurus's attention was focused on the last two skills shown by Theresa, which was more or less the blessing of the Supreme Ruler of the Void himself. He could not help but ponder as to why the Supreme Ruler of the Void decided to give him a blessing, eventually coming up with a plausible conclusion as he muttered, ”I guess the first skill was made because he noticed that my body had a limit on how much power I could amplify, so he went ahead and made the effects of the skills variable so I could maximize my amplification.”
”As for the second skill…” As he got to this point, Aurus could not help but ponder even more, eventually letting out a sigh as he said, ”I guess he just wants me to use the element of Void even more. Probably.”
Whoosh!
After he read up on all the skills he had obtained from that impromptu trial, he soon closed all of the screens up before experimenting with the new variable output feature of the Ruler skills. It did not take long for him to realize that the new variable output feature of the skills would allow him to limit his strength if needed.
And so, Aurus made his way back to the alliance, taking around 30 minutes or so this time around to get back since he was experimenting with the variable output of [Zenith Nihility Dash]. At the very instant he had arrived in front of the alliance base, he could not help but mutter to himself, ”I'm finally back.”
”Welcome back, Aurus!” Not long after saying those words to himself, Aurus heard a shout from behind him, prompting him to scream out in slight fear as he hastily turned his sense of vision around. After seeing who it was, Aurus let out a sigh of relief as he said, ”Couldn't you just properly greet me next time? Scaring me at night isn't good for my health, you know.”
