Chapter 382 Abilities and Spells (2/2)

"That's right That's why a successful ta of a demon beast who can or has the potential to assurade demon beasts could do that Like, the beasts who are in the B-rank and above

But at that point, the rankers who can taer So handling the de deal"

Nina's half-filled glass was refilled by Eren when she stopped The latter also filled his glass up ine suitable for his rank

'Heh! My Reen did it when she was in C-Rank Guess she's a special case'

Eren thought proudly to hied Nina to continue Nina verballya bit pleasant and tipsy as the wine's effects were starting to kick in:

"If you don't already know, innate and inherent spells incorporate the way of elements by default They are easier to cast, less burdensoe, and provide enhanced outputs or effects

In some cases, such spells can beco the rankers to produce, let's say, 120 of their original power You knohat that ht? Two rankers of the same rank If one of them has an inherent spell while the other only has access to normal spells, then the former would easily be able to doroups of people were feared by normal rankers The sheer potential they possessed as rankersBecause co the innate spell hidden in their bloodlines, the probability of nor inherent spells was much lower"

A lot of Eren's doubts were cleared at this point even when Nina didn't get into the nitty-gritty of the whole thing He then asked another pertinent question that he wanted to ask

"What about abilities then, Nina?"

Nina saw Eren finish his dinner, gulp down his glass full of wine, and light up a Sativa stick to san in front of her But she knew that it was part of his treathed and continued:

"Abilities are so that only rankers who have innate or inherent spells can think of In a way, they are the next evolution of spell casting The main difference between spells and abilities is that the latter stops using your mana circuits to cast its intended effect Entirely

Can you i yourlike that would be as effortless as breathing That is what ability is

In short, the ability is when a spell ceases to be a spell

Nina's explanation made Eren realize that his half-blood powers as slime and his newly acquired power Life Drain were in fact abilities Because they ignored eoing to be abilities by that logic

And yet, Eren didn't kno to use Life Drain and Devour They didn't work on mana circuits or mana points That's why they didn't have a specific hich he could activate them the way he wanted to when he wanted to Nor could he tweak them as per his needs, the way he used to do with his spells

"Nina, how do they activate abilities if they don't use mana circuits?"
