I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Chapter 157 Finally



Chapter 157 Finally

Swish

Northern swept forward trailing a linear streak of blue light, his sword cleaving into the Rizolf's thick skin with ease, splitting it as he swept across in that instance.

[You have slain a Hazardous Savage monster: Friggian]

[You have gained +2 talent fragments]

As he reached the other side, he twirled his sword and swung it away, but before the crimson blood on it could splash off, it was absorbed by the sword.

Northern looked at his dominant hand,

'Wow... so this was how it worked?'

He could feel himself being rejuvenated with strength even though he had barely expended any to take care of these monsters.

The order [Blood Reaver] was only effective when the blood of the target, whether human or monster, slain by Northern was crimson.

Northern had at first thought that it'd only be useful killing humans, but just as he had seen now and observed before, there are different blood types and they all depend on the internal composition of the monster.

Although so far, so good, Northern had only seen crimson and black.

Another Friggian thrashed towards him in a frenzied attack. Without losing his cool, in fact, he acted like he already saw the monster coming before it even moved.

Northern gently raised his hand, placing his sword in a diagonal position where the monster itself just flew into its tip and killed itself.

[You have slain a Hazardous Savage Monster: Friggian]

[You have gained +2 talent fragments]

'Still, I'm disappointed in this... just two?'

Northern didn't even know where to begin, he did observe that during his wars while being insane his talent fragments did not accumulate much.

Well, they did rise but if he slayed monsters the way he thought he did, he felt he should have crossed over a thousand fragments a long time ago.

Except if Ul was interfering, or the talent fragments gained were just too little, it could also be that he wasn't killing.

Northern was not sure of himself in an insane state, did he make sure the monsters died or did he just slash them and move to the next?

It happened a lot in wars, no one really has the time to be checking the dead. The point was to just deal enough damage in one go such that your enemy would not be able to move again.

"Tsk..."

Northern clicked his teeth as a holographic panel appeared before his eyes and followed him in front as he walked forward.

'I guess I have what I need to copy that darn skill. After copying it, I'll grind hard and move to the next rank. Then for a while my growth will have to stay stagnant so I can invest all the talent fragments in whatever talents I've managed to copy by then... evolve them all to the next level... most especially that soul eyes, I'm looking forward to how it would be when I evolve it.'

Northern breathed in and out as if he was immersed in a large pool of satisfaction.

The way things were going was pretty okay.

But he had a feeling things were not going to be that way for long. Especially since Raven had not even come to see him.

'I wonder what's wrong? Should I go to the city?' He shook his head vehemently, 'No, that'll make me look desperate.'

"First, I should return home and copy that talent... then I'm going to come back and find whatever monsters are left in this place. I'll hunt them all."

Northern stepped forward but stopped and looked back, the place he was standing amidst was filled with stalls and carts, although they were all thrashed, weeds of brown hue growing over them.

There were holes here and there in different buildings, monsters had infested every corner but today, Northern had managed to cleanse this marketplace.

'They were not much, I should go to the other part of the city, there should be a lot of monsters there... since Instructor Anne said they were only able to take back a part of the city.'

Northern wondered for a second why they didn't bother to slay the rest but he immediately answered the question.

'The people would probably get complacent... and become difficult to lead. There needs to be some sort of danger and order keeping people away from that danger...'

This was the only way Gilbert and the students could be respected and followed, people would undoubtedly regard them as heroes.

'...or I could be wrong. Maybe they've just been busy.'

Northern tried not to project his thoughts on them, despite thinking fairly and squarely.

He leaped into the air, the feet of the Night Terror were like a spring, shooting him into the air.

After a couple of jumps on building rooftops, Northern was back on the rooftop of his own mansion...well, not legally but given the situation.

He slipped in through the broken window of the room, causing Ellis to jump up in a flare, the boy looked like he wanted to jump out of his skin, panting heavily as Northern entered the small cove and placed his strap bag on the table.

The devilish armor slowly dissipated, leaving the Eternal Twilight. He took the Eternal Twilight to be more like his clothes and Night Terror his armor.

"Hey Ellis..." Northern called out as he sat on the chair.

Mr. Fluffy slowly walked to his side and sat down beside his leg.

"Sir?" Ellis answered.

"I have a favor to ask..."

"Ah ah..." Ellis sheepishly scratched his head and laughed, "a favor...ha ha... what can I possibly do for you, sir?"

'I have a feeling that this would be more of an impossible thing to do. Darn it, was I right to believe him... bet he's going to make me do something hard...'

"Can you look at Mr. Fluffy with your soul eyes."

Ellis raised his brows, "Sir?"

"Look at Mr. Fluffy with your Soul Eyes, I want to know what you see."

"O—kay?..."

Ellis looked at Northern carefully before he turned his gaze to the beast, who seemed to be waiting anxiously, with erect ears and vibrant eyes.

Northern carefully watched as Ellis stared at the wolfish beast.

[Do you want to copy Talent - Soul Eyes (C-Class)?]

'Yes!'

[Talent - Soul Eyes has been copied]

[100 Talent Fragments have been deducted]

'Finally'
