Chapter 102: Heading Back

Extremely satisfied with Charisa's Ally skill, Aurus looked at Charisa, who was still kneeling down, with a nonexistent smile as he said, "I hope you don't let me down, Charisa."

Charisa, on the other hand, after hearing these words, stood up as her flames intensified a bit as her head flame bobbed up and down, saying, "Don't worry, Master! I'm sure that I'll be of great service to you!"

"For now, I shall be hiding you from other Inanimates. I will only reveal you once you reach S-grade, is that fine with you?" Aurus radiated an aura of affirmation as he asked Charisa this question.

"As long as you summon me when needed Master, then I don't mind at all. I feel like an extremely special being when I think of it from another perspective!" With some weird optimism, Charisa shrugged her wooden shoulders with her head flame radiating an aura of happiness.

"Alright, I won't forget to summon you. Also, you can talk with me anytime," Feeling that Charisa might get lonely if she was inside the system, Aurus tried to reassure her emotions, to which Charisa responded with an "Un!" as her head flame intensified in luminosity.

Not long after, with Aurus' command towards the system, Charisa disappeared from both Aurus and Fenrir's field of vision, leaving the two of them alone within the green jade hall.

"So Fenrir." This time, Aurus looked at Fenrir, who was still sitting on the ground respectfully, before asking, "Wanna go back to the alliance now?"

Fenrir, hearing his master's question, stood up and shook his body for a bit like a real wolf, before answering with a slightly happy tone, "As long as you're happy, Master."

"Then…"

"Let's go back!"

After saying this, Aurus commanded the inheritance through the system to let the two of them leave. A few seconds later, a soft rumbling sound resonated throughout the green jade hall they were in as they were covered in green light not long after. A few seconds after that, any trace of the two disappeared from the green jade hall, leaving the hall into its previous state of silence.

…

Around a minute later, Aurus and Fenrir appeared on the center of the magic circle that served as the entrance to the Tempest Cliff Inheritance. They looked at each other for a bit before heading back to the base of the Tempest Branch Alliance.

Whoosh!

With Aurus' speed being boosted by multiple things, one would think that Fenrir would not be able to catch up with Aurus, but that was definitely not the case. With the help of Aurus' buffs and his innately faster movement speed, Fenrir was able to maintain the same movement speed as Aurus, reducing their journey time to around ten minutes or so.

While travelling back to the base, Aurus could not help but look at the running Fenrir and ask, "Hey Fenrir, now that I think about it, I haven't checked your Ally skill yet. Do you mind if I check?"

"Go ahead, Master," Fenrir replied with a happy tone that was quite contradicting to his current expression of seriousness. "I don't mind it at all."

"Alright then," Aurus replied. "Identify Fenrir's Ally skill."

Ding!

Not a moment later, a screen regarding the details of Fenrir's Ally skill appeared in front of Aurus' field of vision as he continued to fly. After a moment of skimming through Fenrir's Ally skill, Aurus became extremely dumbfounded as he could not help but mutter, "What the heck?!"

________

[Blessing of the Gale Wolf King]

A Gale Wolf King, leader of the Gale Wolves, not only superior in terms of intelligence, but in terms of attack power and speed as well, allowing them to rule over tens to hundreds of Gale Wolves at once without a problem.

>Perception range +50%

>Obtain the skill [Gale Wolf King's Jurisdiction] (grows in level as the Ally grows)

________

"Not only has my Vitality and Attack stat increased by 20%, my movement speed has been increased by 80% as well!" Aurus could not help but scream out in disbelief, looking at Fenrir, who was maintaining the same movement speed all this time. This time, Aurus could not help but look at Fenrir like a monster, easily catching up with his greatly increased movement speed.

"The Ally skill even gives out an extra skill!" Aurus continued to scream out, looking at Fenrir for a bit before saying, "Fenrir, thank you for being my companion!"

"Eh?" Fenrir was caught off guard by that statement, thankfully he was able to compose himself quickly as he replied with a slight smile…well a smile for wolves. "D-Don't mention it, Master."

"Let's check out what this skill does, and since there's still some time, let's also check the other skills Charisa's Ally skill gave me," Aurus decided to check the skills he received from both Fenrir and Charisa's Ally skills.

"Identify [Gale Wolf King's Jurisdiction]."

Ding!

"Oh? Can stack with other fields?" Aurus took note of this part of the skill, muttering after a bit. "I haven't used [Spirit Aura] yet now that I think about it. Will they complement each other? I don't know."

"Identify [Darkflame Manipulation]." Aurus then moved onto the two skills offered by Charisa's Ally skill. He chose to identify [Darkflame Manipulation] because he felt that this skill would surprise him.

Ding!

"It seems that my hunch is correct," Aurus could not help but say as he thought of the combinations he could do with [Darkflame Manipulation].

"And now, identify [Supreme Field of Darkflame]," Aurus commanded with haste as he noticed that only a kilometer separated him and Fenrir from the entrance of the base.

Ding!

________

"This is also a passive field skill just like [Spirit Aura] and [Gale Wolf King's Jurisdiction]," Aurus said to himself. "And it can stack with other fields…"

"How great would it be if I could use all of them at once?" Aurus could not help but radiate an aura of excitement as he thought of the possibilties. Sadly, his happiness was cut short as he and Fenrir arrived at the entrance of the Tempest Branch Alliance's base.

Swoosh!

While still at the entrance of the base, Aurus looked at Fenrir and decided to keep him for now, since he did not want to alert others to Fenrir's presence. Thankfully, Fenrir did not have second thoughts to this and allowed Aurus to keep him in the system. After doing such did Aurus finally continue travelling inside the alliance, arriving at the large hall not long after.

"Hello?" Aurus shouted out, wanting to get the attention of his fellow alliance members.

"Hey Horell, are you there?" After sensing that no one was answering his question, Aurus decided to shout out Horell's name…only for it to not be responded. He repeated this question a few more times, only for it to end up becoming futile.

"That's weird," Aurus said to himself. "Usually, Horell would instantly reply to my calls. Is he out right now?"

Whoosh!

Not long after asking this question, a silhouette appeared a few meters away from Aurus, eliciting a surprised response from Aurus as it was not the being he expected. "Eh? Herellia? Where's Horell?"

Rather than responding to his question, Herellia's aura that was solemn, suddenly turned into one filled with slight rage as the blood red engravings covering his body started to come to life, transforming into a large blood tendril that extended ten meters above her body.

Seeing this, Aurus felt that something off. Slowly hovering backwards, Aurus asked, "W-What's with the tendril, Herellia? Did I do something wrong?"

Of course, Herellia did not respond at all. Instead, she waved this blood red tendril down as she muttered…

"[Supreme Sanguine Art: Rupture]."

Swoosh!

At the speed the tendril was moving down, Aurus had no hope at dodging it, hence he decided to defend as much as he could.

"[Darkflame Manipulation]!"

"[Barrier of the Spiritas]!"

"Combine!"

"[Darkflame Spirit Barrier: Maximum Defense]!"

Whoosh!

In an instant, a barrier tinged with the flickering of darkflame here and there appeared on Aurus' body just before the blood red tendril collided with Aurus' body.

Bang!

Surprisingly, Aurus' barrier, that had already been operating at maximum defense, as well as it being infused with darkflame, was broken from just the collision of the blood red tendril and the barrier alone. Aurus was then blown a few meters backward as he tried to regain his stability. This made Aurus feel a small part of Herellia's true strength, which definitely outstripped her previous prowess of power towards Loran.

But that did not mean that Herellia did not suffer as well, thanks to the special effects darkflame brought to the barrier, a part of the damage Herellia dealt to Aurus was received by her, eliciting a soft groan from her. After that, she raised her tendril upwards once more, waiting to find a possibility to attack Aurus.

As for Aurus, he could not help but look at the current situation with confusion. Just because he left, Herellia was now attacking him?

"What the heck is going on?!"
