Chapter 272 - Unlocking the Origin (2/2)

Thud.

Placing the Tome of the Four Elements in front of him, he looked at it for a bit and muttered to himself with glee, ”As long as I understand all of the contents inside this tome, I'm pretty sure I would be able to defeat higher-ranked Animates even at Rank 1. If they don't take notice of me with that kind of feat, then those guys are just stupid.”

”Speaking of which…” Just as Argentum was going to go ahead and start his journey to obtaining [Earth Affinity], he remembered that it had been a while since he had last checked his stats.

”Since I've just cleared my first Power Baptism, I guess it's a good time to check,” he muttered to himself with that in mind, commanding the system soon after.

Ding!

Accompanied by a notification sound resounding throughout his mind, a small holographic screen was soon revealed in front of Argentum's vision, detailing his current stats. After skimming through the contents, the feeling Argentum felt was that of shock. Of course, it was not an immense shock since he had already seen Blob's stats beforehand. Nevertheless, he was still shocked as he did not believe that he would have such an absurd amount of mana.

Taking in a few deep breaths to calm his senses once more, Argentum soon closed the holographic screen in front of him as he commanded the system to take out a certain item from its inventory.

Whoosh!

With a rift opening up just a couple of decimeters above the ground, a flask which contained brown viscous fluid soon appeared in front of Argentum's field of vision as it landed on the ground with a slightly peculiar 'clang' sound. Then again, Argentum wasn't someone who looked at the finer details, grabbing the flask from the ground before going ahead and manipulating the energy circulating inside his body.

Soon after, the opening where the tome lied a while ago was soon opened, to which Argentum threw the contents of the flask into. As he did this, he could not help but mutter to himself, ”This is how you use a potion as a Pseudo-Animate, right?”

Normally, a potion would be ingested through the mouth, but that was only the case for Animates. Since he was a Pseudo-Animate that only took on a humanoid form, but did not have the stuff necessary considered to be an Animate, he thought that this was the closest he could get to ingesting it.

Ding!

As he closed up the hole in his upper torso, a notification sound soon resounded throughout his mind. Without delay, he went ahead and commanded the system to open up the notification screen in his mind, allowing him to read through the notifications he had just received. It only took a few seconds of skimming for him to radiate an aura of expectation and elation as he soon closed his vision, attuning his body to the Earth element in the surroundings thanks to his greatly improved perception.

'You have ingested the Heaven's Earth Potion.'

'Your perception of the Earth element has increased by 200%'

'Time remaining before buff wears out: 1 hour 59 minutes'

”It's now or never! To the goal of becoming a Super Animate!” Argentum shouted inwardly to psych himself up before treading on the path to learning [Earth Affinity].
