Chapter 41 I Can Evolve Everything

Chapter 41 I Can Evolve Everything

In a couple of minutes after the horn sounded, lines of monstrosities marched into the yard, coming from different directions.

The castle yard directly faced the road leading away from the kingdom. Although it was not the same direction where Northern and the Nightterror had come from and fought the last battle.

Before Northern knew it, the yard was filled with dark-furred monsters, his own squad of a hundred lost amidst the throng.

Northern bit his fingers as he waited on the sideline, several other generals like him, Hellions almost as intimidating as the Nightterror, beginning to appear.

For some reason, they stood apart from him. But he didn't care right now.

'Dammit, Northern! What is wrong with you? Remember, we're supposed to be survivalists, remember!'

He intentionally bit down hard on his finger, using the pain to jolt himself back to reality.

The other generals glanced at him the moment he let out a muffled shriek, trying not to shout.

Mr. Fluffy was sitting gently right beside his leg, staring inquiringly at the horde of monsters, the poor thing probably having never seen such a scene.

Having regained his focus, Northern glanced long at the generals, then looked at the gathering of monsters and the Nightterror as he made his way to the podium.

'It's a war, nothing about that will change. What I have to do now is think about how I can raise my chances of survival...'

He paused, thinking deeply for more than a second. Then he summoned the panels displaying his talents.

[Copied Talents]: [1/1]

Talent: [Advanced Cloning]

Class: [A]

Talent (True) Name: [Many Of One]

Description: [I am one, I am two, I can be three... four or five. My personas are limitless and only limited by my imagination, in my hands all objects are more than one]

Talent Ability: [Self Clone]

Attribute: [Your soul rank is too low to access this information]

Talent progression: [0/600]

This was the answer. It was staring him right in the face.

Northern took a deep breath.

[Are you sure you want to choose this pathway?]

'What? Trying to make me change my mind now? Yes, I am sure.'

[Seeking Access to evolve talent 'Advanced Cloning']

[Access granted]

[Talent 'Advanced Cloning' is evolving...]

Northern suddenly bent and held his stomach. He could feel something hot welling up inside him, it made his pale skin boil and redden.

He gripped his tummy tightly and opened his mouth, trying to release whatever was boiling his insides.

The pain was intense and heart-gripping for a moment - worse even, in a place like this, he needed to avoid screaming, so Northern tried his best to stifle every trace of a scream that threatened to disgrace him.

The generals were beginning to look at him with puzzled expressions, even Mr. Fluffy was tilting its head left and right.

But Northern couldn't pay them any mind, he fought himself from crumbling to one knee and managed to stay on his feet through it all.

Then a soothing voice resounded in his ears:

[You have used 600 talent fragments]

Northern at that point felt a great deal of strength leave his body.

[TALENT "ADVANCED CLONING" HAS EVOLVED TO "SINGULARITY"]

It was then that the heat in his belly began to calm down. He couldn't tell precisely where, but he could tell that something had changed about him.

[Congratulations, you have succeeded in evolving a talent for the first time]

[Because True name is tied to Talent and Attributes, you have succeeded in evolving a true name for the first time]

[You have succeeded in evolving an attribute for the first time]

Northern couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.

'What is this? What was going on...'

This far exceeded his expectations.

'T—True Name? Even Attributes?!'

He had evolved everything!
