Chapter 126: Stick and Flux Unify

Within the Area 52 Inheritance.

After announcing the rewards Aurus was going to get after finishing the whole inheritance, three rays of light appeared a modest distance away from where Aurus was, gradually bringing down three items from the ceiling.

Question is, where did these items come from? Well these items passed through a rift opened on the ceiling, falling down through the trajectory of the rays of light.

Thud.

Clang.

Swish.

Three different fall sounds, pertaining to the three items Aurus has received. He went closer to the three items after the rays of light disappeared from the room, and examined them not long after.

In order from left to right, Aurus was looking a slightly tattered book filled with a mysterious yet powerful aura, an intricately carved key that glistened gold under some sort of light, and a dead looking leaf that seemed to be no different from leaves you can find in a forest.

Wait, that doesn't sound right.

Nonetheless, Aurus looked at these three times with expectation and glee, waiting to see what possibilities would unfold with these items.

He used his SP to create a tendril out of energy as it extended towards the dead looking leaf on the right. He held it up high to get a better look at it, saying, "This looks no different from a normal leaf, to be honest."

Bang!

As he said this, an explosion sound occurred near where the leaf was all of a sudden. To be more exact, the explosion sound originated from the leaf.

As if it was awakened by Aurus' SP, the leaf gradually disintegrated into ash that coursed through the tendril of SP Aurus created, before circulating throughout his body not long after.

Whoosh!

At the very instant the leaf ash circulated through his body, he felt like he was brought tens of thousands of meters up into the sky, allowing him to look at the whole world from a perspective he couldn't before. He could also see the moons and planets orbiting the world he originated from, broadening his horizons by a great degree. Eventually, the hallucination of sorts came to an end, returning Aurus to where he was, the big and boring stone room.

"That..." It took a while for Aurus to recover from his loss of words, wanting to experience the feeling once again.

"That was amazing."

After absorbing the Transcending Comprehension Leaf, Aurus now had the thought of wanting to become a human as possible, as he knew that becoming a human would allow him to experience such a feeling once more.

"When I leave the inheritance, I'll definitely make that clone, just as Kevin warned me to," Aurus muttered to himself.

He did not know why he always forgot to make a clone of himself, but he was going to make sure that this time, he would never forget to make it.

Ding!

"Oh?" Just as he was about to move towards the skill book, a notification sound resounded from the system, piquing his interest. As he opened his notification screen and looked at the last notification that popped up, he could not help but squeal in excitement for a bit before muttering to himself, "Now what skill should I pick~?"

'The user has absorbed a Transcending grade Comprehension Leaf, increasing the user's skill experience acquisition rate by 14 times. Current skill experience acquisition rate: 15x'

'Due to the special energy hidden within the Comprehension Leaf, the user can now choose any skill he wishes to max out in an instant.'

For a bit, he thought about maxing his Spell Core or his Spirit Sword skill as both skills were his main sources of damage towards the enemies he fought. But as he thought about it even more, he decided to not choose them as he already a level of attack power that could rival X-grade Inanimates. Sure, he could max his offensive skills out and give him the power to fight against Animates, but when would he have a chance to?

He also had the thought of maxing out his movement skills, but he was already moving incredibly fast in Inanimate terms. He decided to not max them out as well.

"If offensive skills and movement skills are out of the question, what should I max out?" Aurus was at a crossroads. "I could go and use the energy to max out my defensive skill, but it's just at B-grade, a big waste of energy."

"Where should I put it..."

And that's when it hit him.

"Since I want to experience that feeling again..."

"System, use the energy to max out [Transcendent Vitality Anima Creation]."

Ding!

'The special energy has been allocated to [Transcendent Vitality Anima Creation].'

'[Transcendent Vitality Anima Creation] has reached the MAX level.'

'[Transcendent Vitality Anima Creation] has met the necessary requirements and is ready to evolve. The skill has also met special requirements needed to evolve to a greater level.'

Looking at the notifications that popped up on his notification screen, Aurus could not help but smile from within and say, "Hm. That was easier than I thought."

As for the reason why Aurus allocated the energy to his Anima Creation skill, he had already stated so a few sentences ago. He wanted to experience the feeling of seeing everything one more time. Well that and the warning given to him by Kevin, but the feeling was first priority to him...for some reason.

He read the notifications one more time and noticed that something was added to the previous line. "Hm? Special requirements have been met? I wonder what it could be?"

"Evolve [Transcendent Vitality Anima Creation]!"

Without hesitation, Aurus commanded the system to evolve his Anima Creation skill, his skill that gave him the tons of SP he could use at anytime.

Ding!

Please select the skill that [Transcendent Vitality Anima Creation] will evolve into:

[Miraculous Wheel of Life]

[Myriad Anima Formation]

[Incessant Sphere of Spirit]

[Stick-Flux Unification (Special)]

________

Aurus looked at the names alone, and noticed that only one path had the word Flux on it. "Wait a second, does that mean that the requirement for this special evolution is unlocking Flux?"

"Ain't that a very stringent requirement," Aurus muttered to himself. Nonetheless, he was able to achieve such a requirement. He skimmed through the first three skills and noticed that they did not really give anything special, except for their shape.

The first skill allowed him to make a wheel of SP behind him, the second skill allowed him to make a miniature soldier formation out of SP, and the third skill allowed him to make a big ass sphere out of SP. Mind you, these were all improvements from his current situation, where multiple motes of Anima extended out of his body.

"Now, let's see what the fourth skill can give," Aurus said to himself. He had a hunch that he was going to pick this evolution path, no matter what.

Ding!

________

[Stick-Flux Unification (Special)] (C-grade Transcendent)

Stick Points (SP), the unit of energy used by multiple stick species to do the impossible. Flux, the unit of energy used by those who could perceive the particles connecting their bodies to create equipment and also do the impossible. Through an esoteric method, the two can be fused together, allowing the user to use Flux as SP, and SP as Flux. This in turn would allow the user to create great equipment as well as use great abilities that were normally impossible for the user to cast.

> Flux and SP shall be united as one energy, Flux Points (FP)

> As Flux exists all over the user's body, the user's body is the vessel for Flux Points

> Flux and SP is unified, increasing performance of crafted equipment by 20%

> Flux and SP is unified, increasing performance of active skills by 20%

________

"Knew it." Aurus could not help but chuckle. "I'm definitely gonna pick this one."

And with him clicking on the confirmation button, the days of Aurus lugging around multiple Anima particles was no longer a thing. He would now look like a normal wooden sculpture that glowed a faint green light.

Ding!

'[Transcendent Vitality Anima Creation] has been upgraded to [Stick-Flux Unification (Special)].'

With him evolving one of the two SP vessel skills to Transcendent grade, he moved onto the skill book that the inheritance gave him and learned it without hesitation.

Ding!

'You have learned the hybrid species skill [Soul Manipulation].'

After learning the skill, he then skimmed over the description of the skill, giving him an idea as to what the skill allowed him to do.

"So this skill is a passive and an active skill at the same time, allowing me to manipulate my soul with less difficulty and more expertise. It also strengthens my soul's connection with my body, I don't know what that means though."

And lastly, Aurus focused on the gold key that remained on the floor of the stone room. He looked at it for a bit before picking it up with a tendril made out of his newly made Flux Points.

"This is a gold key of the inheritance. Is there any difference from the normal type of keys given by the inheritance? I remember the inheritance talking about a 1st Class Ruler Candidate?"

Ring...

As the golden key was held up in midair, it started to vibrate as a ringing sound resounded out of it, a loud ringing sound at that. The ringing sound somewhat caught Aurus off guard, as well as made him slightly deaf due to the loudness of the sound, but Aurus endured it, wondering what was going to happen next.

The ringing sound lasted for a few minutes, gradually quieting down as a voice filled with the majesty and grace of an emperor reverberated throughout the room Aurus was in.

"Nothing to fear candidate, this is just the key recognizing your soul for the first time," the majestic voice said to Aurus, only to make Aurus become startled for a bit. It took Aurus a short while to calm down, focusing on the words said by the majestic voice.

"The key that you're holding up will allow you to traverse a special path of power, only if you ascend from the status of candidacy."

"Now what kind of candidacy, you might ask? Well, it could only be the candidacy of a Ruler! There are different levels as to how close you are to becoming a bona fide Ruler, with a normal Ruler Candidate being the lowest level, and a 1st Class Ruler Candidate being the highest level. You're a 1st Class Ruler Candidate!"

"And now, choose what path you shall take, and become a Ruler in that path!"

With that, the majestic voice stop talking, allowing Aurus to process what the voice had said. After a while, Aurus asked himself.

"Ruler..."

"Measuring stick?"
