“Identify.”

Ding!

In an instant, the information about the extremely string clone that was in the center of the circle of clones, appeared in front of Aurus’ field of vision.

________

“Nope.” Aurus shook his head in disbelief. “Nope. Nope. There’s no fucking way I’ll fight against this head on.”

“[Extreme Spiritas Gale]? Is that the upgraded version of [Tempestuous Spiritas Glide]?”

“[Fifth Ascension Spirit Shot]…probably another path for [Five Melancholy Spirit Spear]?”

“[True Spirit Transformation]…this…I think I know what this is.”

Looking back and forth at the screen in front of his field of vision and at the extremely strong clone that was at the center of the circle of clones, Aurus had a foreboding feeling that this might be him in the future if he were to progress at his current rate.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, over 500 shots consisting of walnuts and tridents headed towards Aurus’ way as he was still looking at the extremely strong clone.

“Is this the reason why that clone was named Future Aurus? Is it for me to reflect on my current choices?” Aurus couldn’t help but say as he dodged the walnuts and tridents with ease thanks to the [Gale Hover] spell.

Continuing to look at the extremely strong clone, he noticed that the extremely strong clone was covered in a pure white flame rather than a silver flame that usually covered his body. He continued to watch this extremely strong clone prepare for its attack towards Aurus as he got closer to the extremely strong clone.

If the clones that Aurus fought had a sense of sentience right now, they would be extremely shocked because their enemy was charging towards them, letting him become an easy target.

But since these clones weren’t sentient in any way even if they were at the A-grade or S-grade, they only positioned their bodies to aim at Aurus as they waited for their skills to cool down.

Aurus, on the other hand, continued to look at the extremely strong clone as if he was gazing into the future. Not long after, he snapped back to reality as he felt that he went into a daze after he floated in midair.

“Hmmm…if this is going to be my future…”

“Then I’ll surpass that future.”

Whoosh!

Forming a Spirit Spear with a floating Anima, Aurus shot this Spirit Spear that was infused with all of his SP as it headed towards the extremely strong clone’s way. Since it was the most dangerous threat within the green jade hall, Aurus had no choice but to target it.

“To a future I got the chance to meet, farewell.”

“[Spirit Spear: Acceptance].”

Ding!

‘[Spirit Spear: Acceptance] has been upgraded to [Spirit Spear: Truth].’

Wooonnngggg…

In the midst of the Spirit Spear heading towards the extremely strong clone, it froze in place as all of the other clones froze in place as well. Just like what he witnessed before when he used the upgraded form of Acceptance, all of his enemies froze in time.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, all of the clones he would have faced, from weakest to strongest, were killed in sequence as it created a spiralling pattern of nothingness. Indeed, there was nothing left after this attack. No dust, no remnant of the clones whatsoever. Just Aurus and an empty green jade hall.

Ding!

“Ah.” Basking in the feeling of tranquility, Aurus was startled by the notification sound that came with the notification screen that popped up in front of his field of vision.

‘[Five Melancholy Spirit Spear] has leveled up.’

‘[Purified Spirit Energy Core (Wind Variant)] has leveled up.’

“Neat.”

Not long after witnessing a silent massacre of over 500 branches of differing sizes, Aurus landed on the ground as his [Gale Hover] spell finally lost its effect. A few seconds later, a large pile of dust suddenly appeared in midair as it rushed towards Aurus’ body, covering him in a thick layer of dust not long after that.

Ding!

‘Wave 10 has been cleared.’

‘Experience +5120’

‘5 Genesis Points have been obtained.’

Although he was covered by a thick layer of dust, Aurus was still able to see the notification screen that always popped up whenever a wave finished thanks to him having [Soul Perception I].

“So I’ve accumulated over 8000 unused experience points for my S-grade endeavours. Neat.”

“Also, 5 Genesis Points? That’s quite a jump, considering that every time a new type of enemy was shown, only a single Genesis Point would be added.”

Putting the matter of the Genesis Points to the back of his head, Aurus let out a soft sigh as he hastily organized the thoughts in his mind before commanding, “Evolve [High Spirit Channeling].”

Ding!

Not even a tenth of a second has passed, but the system had already finished the evolution of the skill.

‘[High Spirit Channeling] has been upgraded to [Grand Spirit and Vitality Transformation].’

Aurus looked at the new skill’s name and couldn’t help but nod as he said, “Now the skill is showing what it’s actually doing. It’s transforming vitality into spirit, or in this case, SP. Pretty nice.”

It was only at this moment that the disembodied voice started to talk once more.

“The tenth wave has been successfully cleared. The first trial of endurance is now complete.”

“Time taken to complete trial: 4 hours 10 minutes. Score grade: A”

“With the inheritor obtaining a higher than average score, the inheritance shall give the inheritor a special reward before the second trial starts.”

Hearing the consecutive statements come one by one, Aurus hastily processed all of what was said and had his eyes light up after the somewhat melancholic situation of the tenth wave.

“Eh? A reward? I don’t remember the individual trials themselves having rewards.”

“Then again, who am I to refuse free rewards? Just let it be a good reward!”

As these words came out of his soul, the disembodied voice went silent for a bit before continuing to talk.

“The special reward is decided on random by the inheritance. Picking in process…”

“The special reward has been picked. The inheritor’s movement skill shall have its level increased by 3.”

Ding! Ding! Ding!

At the instant the disembodied voice was finished talking, three notification screens that instantly combined into one appeared in front of Aurus’ field of vision.

‘[Tempestuous Spiritas Glide] has leveled up thrice.’

“Hah!” At first, Aurus’ eyes shone like the stars…only for it to dim and make him curse out loud. “Hah? This is what I get? What the fuck? Is this some kind of joke? I thought this inheritance gave out useful things!”

What Aurus didn’t know was that, this reward would allow him to soar farther in the path to becoming a God.

Not long after Aurus started to curse, the disembodied voice started to resound throughout the hall once more as it explained the second trial. It was at this moment that Aurus decided to shut up.

“Within ten minutes, the next trial, the Speed trial shall begin. This trial needs the inheritor to traverse 10 kilometers within a day or less.”

“All of the inheritor’s skills shall be returned to a usable state once the trial begins.”
