‘Huh? Useful to me?’
Ajax frowned when he saw Aurora was giving her a blue-coloured dried piece of wood; however, he still took that fist-sized dried wood.
‘Ding,
Item Name: Shard of the Ability Tree.
Use: By consuming it together with other consumable treasures, increases the effects of the other consumable treasures by multiple folds.
Example: 1) Consuming it with an Advanced Upgrade Stone will have the same effects as a Special Upgrade Stone.
2) Consuming it with an Innate Elemental Fruit will give the same effects as that of a Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit.
Note: The higher the effects of the other consumable treasures, the lower the effect of the ‘Shard of an Ability Tree’.
More Information: Ability Tree is a natural treasure rarely seen even in grade 2 worlds. Every part like fruit, leaves, branches, and root of this Ability Tree is a natural treasure. Even sitting under it would give great benefits.
For these reasons, even the Heroes above Supreme-ranked would go crazy about it.
‘It can enhance the effects of the consumable treasures?’
Leo was surprised by looking at the information that appeared before him regarding the piece of dried wood.
‘I wonder what will happen if I consume it with a Special Upgrade Stone or a Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit.’
Leo became curious and continued to read more information about it.
Even though Leo read the ‘Note’, he was still curious because even the slight increase in the effects of the Special Upgrade Stone would be much better than the enhanced effects of the Advanced Upgrade Stone.
‘What? Every part of this Ability Tree is a treasure?’
Leo was already surprised by the effects of the dried piece of wood.
However, after reading about the ‘Ability Tree’ from which the dried piece of wood came, he was surprised even more.
‘It is a valuable tree. I hope I encounter it in the future.’
Leo’s interest in such a valuable tree increased. So, he hoped he could encounter it in the future.
‘However, I don’t know how this item will be useful in freeing the humans from their enslavement seals.’
Soon, Leo stopped thinking about the Ability Tree; instead, he thought about the dried piece of wood in his hands.
He could not think of how he could use the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’ to help the humans. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Aurora and asked her, “Are you sure it will help me.”
After Learning about Aurora’s talent, Leo thought there must be a way to help her people with the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’.
Therefore, he asked her to confirm whether he could use it.
“Yes, Sir Leo. With that help of my talent [Prophecy], I found out that Sir Leo needs this item.”
Aurora nodded and explained, “Even though I don’t know exactly what this piece of dried wood is and what it is used for, I know one thing for sure and it is what you need to help my people in becoming free.”
“What I need in heloing your people become free?”
Leo raised his brows as he thought, ‘I can only free them using my [Seal Swallowing Abiliy]; however, it is only at level 4 and could only consume level 4 or below-ranked seal.’
‘Wait a second.’
Suddenly, Leo changed the direction of his thinking.
‘I just need to upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Abiltity] to level 5 and since Aurora saw that I need this ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’ to help their people. Doesn’t that mean, I can upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Abiltiy] using this dried piece of wood?’
Leo continued thinking, ‘Since the Special Upgrade Stone didn’t have an effect to upgrade my system abilities, will this ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’ enhance the effects of the Special Upgrade Stone to upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Ability]?’
With that thought in mind, Leo asked the system about it.
‘Ding,
Analyzing the effects by consuming a Special Upgrade Stone and the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’. Please wait for a few minutes.
‘Hm’
Leo decided to wait and hoped he could upgrade his [Seal Swallowing Abilty] to level 5 with that combination.
“Can you tell me more about your human territory?”
As the system started its analysis, Leo asked Aurora to explain more about the human territory in the Beastnet.
Soon, Aurora started her explanation.
According to her, they arrived in this world around two decades ago after their world failed their Grade 1 world assessment. The failure of the world assessment was having less than 10 percent of their original population, and this 10 percent population from the Starlight World got teleported to this world.
After their arrival, they struggled a lot, and a lot of them were killed by the other monsters that were already settled in the world.
In the end, only 0.1 percent of the population from the Starlight World survived as they maintained a foothold in the Wilderness under the leadership of an old but strongest hero of their world, Fremont, the Star Watcher.
Fremont is the strongest hero in the human territory with a strength of level 5 supreme rank, followed by Aurora’s parents, who have the strength of level 3 and level 2 supreme rank.
Other than her parents, there were 10 Starlight Guardians with a strength of peak level 1 supreme rank and 50 normal Guardians with a strength of level 1 supreme rank.
That’s the entire strength of the human territory above the supreme-ranked, and as for below that, there were around five hundred rank 9 heroes followed by a few thousands of rank 8 heroes.
“They got enough strength.”
Leo nodded after learning about the strength of human territory as he continued listening to Aurora.
“As for the levels of the enslavement seals, the supreme-ranked beings were engraved with level 8 and level 9.
However, my Grandfather got engraved with multiple seals of level 8 and level 9 because of his strength.”
Aurora had a painful look when she mentioned her Grandfather; however, she quickly hid it and continued, “The Advanced heroes got engraved with level 6 and level 7 seals, and the rest got engraved with level 5 enslavement seals.”
‘Ding,
The system has finished its analysis.
As Aurora was explaining about the Human Territory, Leo finally received the system notification that he was waiting for.
