Chapter 1112: Price For An Eye (1)



The skills from [Bringer of All], that is, those processed from the skill(s) that Replicus inputted into the skill in addition to the Apostles he wanted to merge with, were forcefully emboldened from the rank of their source.

For instance, back in Inhone City, Skullius had used [Bringer of All] in conjunction with [Mana Force] to obtain a bunch of new mana-related skills. They had all been very efficient against the threat at the time, the Galemonger, because they had been elevated generously by means that didn't conform to the logic of Normal, Special, Super or Supreme.

(A/N: Refer to Ch.332.).

These skills were simply better than the original, and where Null Life was involved, Replicus could safely say this wasn't the first time he noticed his prowess breaking Aigas' power system modestly.

All this was to say [Bringer of All] was a cheat Class skill that allowed its user to gain and use skills several levels above what they should have.

This became even more true when Replicus chose to upgrade [Bringer of All] earlier. Now, it allowed him to use three skills as a basis, and he would earn a total of twelve more skills from

each.

[Mana Centurion] was one of these empowered skills, which he retained even after separating from Red Rage and Araeyn.

[Mana Centurion (Super) | Lv.1]

When activated, the user's mana reserves are quintupled while maintaining the quality of mana they produce. A 700% increase in mana regeneration is also granted to all mana cores.

...

At once, Replicus felt his purple core spill out similar mana cores, just as it had done when he first assumed his amalgam form before. However, unlike last time, the effect of [Mana Centurion] did not only apply to his main core, it also extended to the Nature-Bound Malleable Form Core, creating five more of it as well!

This hadn't happened when he was Vohnvolt, because when he activated the skill, the Nature- Bound Malleable Form Core had had its shell removed. Replicus had been busy trying to ensure that this core worked best with his newly acquired concept, Maximum Catalyst.

And so, Replicus now had thirteen cores.

Six purple ones.

This really was exaggerated. Yuyui was indeed a very part of why Replicus had gotten to this point, but she didn't need to continue shouldering such a burden. At least that was what Replicus felt.

Instead of continuing to try to hammer this truth into her, though, Replicus switched the subject.

"You never told me. How did you earn your third eye? I know you were reluctant to engage in physical altercations before. You were so sure this kind of life wasn't for you. To earn your eye, you must have been willing to do something you didn't think you could. My words to you before leaving Deign couldn't possibly have been your only drive, right?"

Before leaving Deign, Replicus had told Yuyui that he would need her help against Skullius. He didn't think saying something like that would have sparked so much drive in Yuyui in the

short term. Or could it?

Yuyui smiled.

"Your words were... a large part of it," she said. "Hearing you say that you needed me in the near future finally pushed me to do something I should have done a long time ago. I might have been hesitant to fight, but I also wanted to live up to your expectations. But... just that wasn't enough. You know my emotions are one of the ways in which I receive my powers. Nothing could trigger them more than my lost memories."

Replicus sockets flashed.

"You finally remembered?" he asked.

Yuyui nodded.

"Yes. I finally did. I had wanted Ferex to be the one to do it before, but... he was gone before I

knew it, and I had drowned in guilt. But then, I went back to Bassbion and Yagrina. They wrenched those memories out the only way they could after I gave them my permission."

"Wrenched?" Replicus asked suspiciously.

"Yes," Yuyui smiled bitterly. "The only way they could help me, was by bringing me to the brink of death and partially extracting my soul. If they killed me instead, the Inhumane Eye would simply restore me. So, I had to try this rather painful method."

Yuyui looked up at Replicus and a tear streamed down her face.

"I remembered it all. It was bittersweet and a lot more... ordinary than I imagined."
