Chapter 65: Method Of Evolving The Gift (1/2)

Two different types of objects were kept in the drawer that Lucius had just opened.

First was a single chunk of rock, which was about the size of a palm. This was nothing but the Trivonite ore. He had procured this during the past five days and had gotten about a kilogram of it.

Though he only needed 500 grams from this. Thankfully breaking it was simply as the ore itself was brittle compared to the pure version of the metal. The next item that he had there was the Aether crystals. There were fifteen of them, each perfectly lined up.

”The requirements are finally complete…” Lucius muttered to himself.

Kiana watched the items and felt a bit confused.

”What are you going to do with these things?” Kiana asked.

”Well, since we are going to take care of the bandits, we need strength. Since those bandits were able to kill a large group of soldiers, including two with rare ranked gifts, we would definitely need a higher power.

And for that, we are going to evolve your gift.” Lucius revealed.

Kiana's eyes went wide upon hearing this, and she didn't know what to think of it.

”What do you mean, evolve my gift?” Kiana questioned.

”Well, you know how the priests of Alana can grow the power of their gift as they get promoted, right? It is the same thing, except you are not getting it from a god.” Lucius answered.

”How... How is that even possible? Or rather… why do you know this? HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?” Kiana shot off a string of questions.

Lucius suddenly held the shoulders of Kiana and looked deep into her eyes.

”Kiana…” He whispered.

”Y-yes…?” Kiana responded, feeling unnerved.

”Do you have faith in me? Do you trust me?” Lucius questioned.

”YES, I will always believe in you, Asher.” Kiana said hurriedly.

”Then can you trust me this time too and see the results?” Lucius replied.

Kiana could see a different look in Lucius's eyes and felt safe. Knowing that this was someone she would never doubt, she nodded her head.

”Alright. Show me what we are going to do.” Kiana answered.

Lucius turned around and took out all the materials, before using his gift nexus. The list of items needed for the evolution of Kiana's gift appeared in front of him again.

'Hmm… the method of evolution is still missing… which means, more aether.' Lucius thought before willing it.

Aether rapidly started to drain from his body and new information appeared in his mind. Little by little it kept increasing and by the time he was done using up all his aether, he finally had the entire method of evolving the gift.

Lucius opened his eyes, that flickered with glee as he looked at Kiana.

”Such a method… didn't expect more similarities,” Lucius muttered to himself.
