Chapter 223 Unique ways to use the ’Shard of the Ability Tree’

‘Ding,

The system finished its analysis regarding the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’.

‘Ding,

With the combination of a ‘Special Upgrade Stone’ and the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’, it is possible to upgrade one of the system abilities; however, there is still a chance of failure.

‘Ding,

The host can increase the success rate by consuming an ‘Advanced Upgrade stone’ with the ‘Special Upgrade Stone’ and the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’.

Soon, Leo received the system notifications where the system informed him of the results of its analysis of the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’.

‘Huh? I can consume it together with multiple items at once?’

Leo was surprised because he was not expecting to consume two treasures along with the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’.

‘Ding,

The items consumed along with the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’ should have the same effect; however, at the same time, they have to be different items.

‘Ding,

It means the host can’t use two ‘Special Upgrade Stones’ or ‘Advanced Upgrade Stones’ along with the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’; however, he could use one from each type of stone.

‘Oh.’

Leo understood how it works.

Both ‘Special Upgrade Stone’ and ‘Advanced Upgrade Stone’ have a similar effect, upgrading the talents; however, they were different items.

‘I wonder what kind of effect will I have if I consume ‘Innate Elemental Fruit’ and ‘Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit’ along with this ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’?’

After understanding how the combination of the consumable treasures works with the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’, Leo became curious about the Elemental Fruits’ combination.

‘Will it mutate my system ability?’

Leo could not help but guess the result of consuming the Elemental Fruits instead of Upgrade Stones.

‘Ding,

The result will be a guaranteed upgrade in the system ability with 50 percent chances of mutation in the same system ability.

To satisfy his curiosity, the system informed Leo about the result of consuming the Elemental Fruits along with the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’.

‘Upgradation and Mutation?’

Even though Leo had guessed it already, he didn’t expect it to be true; however, in the next second, he muttered, ‘But the sad thing is I don’t have an Innate Elemental Fruit or the Supreme Innate Elemental Fruit.’

Moreover, Leo didn’t have the time to search for the Elemental Fruits in the Beastnet because he consumed three Supreme Innate Elemental Fruits just a few days back.

Therefore, finding another Supreme Innate Elemental Fruits would not be easy.

Even if he finds one, Leo needs to find an Innate Elemental Fruit.

‘I only have eight more days left in this world. So, it is better to use the Upgrade Stones and upgrade my [Seal Swallowing Ability].’

Leo wants to upgrade his [Seal Swallowing Ability] to level 6 to remove the enslavement seal on his body. However, he only has level 4 ability.

With the help of the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’ and the Upgrade Stones, Leo decided to upgrade his ability to level 5. After that, he could swallow the specified number of enslavement seals to upgrade that ability to level 6.

Therefore, he decided to go with the combination of an ‘Advanced Upgrade Stone’, ‘Special Upgrade Stone’, and the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’.

….

“…..that b*stard was so cruel that he didn’t even let a few humans who didn’t awaken any talent. He even engraved level 5 enslavement seals on them.”

On the other hand, Aurora has finished her explanation, making Leo come out of his thoughts regarding the ‘Shard of the Abiltiy Tree’.

“Oh. It looks like the Seal Engraver was careful as he engraved the high-level enslavement seals even on the humans with low hero rank.”

Even though Leo was learning about the system’s analysis results regarding the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’, he was listening to Aurora for the entire time and noted down the important points in his mind.

“I have something I have to do before helping you. Wait for a while.”

Since Leo had already found a way to upgrade his [Seal Swallowing Ability] with the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’, he decided to use it first before thinking of a plan to free the humans from their enslavement seals.

“Okay, Sir Leo.”

Aurora nodded and went on to check on his brother, who woke up a few moments back and looked at Aurora with a bitter smile.

“Sister, why did you do that? Is it necessary for me to get knocked out to get his help? You are becoming more evil day by day.”

Seeing that his sister was walking toward him, Arlo complained about how evil she was becoming recently.

“What did you say?”

Aurora seriously looked at him with her big eyes, making Arlo a little scared, and hurriedly replied, “I mean, if you had told me that I have to get knocked out, I would have prepared for it and gotten knocked out more stylishly.”

“No, the knocking out should be natural. Only then the Prophecy will become real.”

Aurora shook her head and said, “Even though you got knocked out, I did it yourself and not just to request his help.”

“For me?”

Arlo frowned as he asked about it.

“You don’t need to know about it. When the time comes, you will eventually find out about it.”

How could Aurora reveal everything about it? If he revealed it to Arlo, that Prophecy might not become true.

Therefore, she asked Arlo to wait as he would find out soon.

….

“Sutin, guard me.”

On the other hand, Leo didn’t waste any time as he asked the Terra Minotaur Tyrant to guard him.

“Yes, Master.”

Sutin didn’t know what his master was trying to do; however, he didn’t ask about it and quietly followed Leo’s order.

‘Let’s eat.’

Leo found a spot under a nearby tree and ate three items one after another.

‘Ding,

The host has consumed Advanced Stone, Special Advanced Stone, and the ‘Shard of the Ability Tree’.

‘Ding,

Please select one of the following system abilities to upgrade.

1) Talent Merging Ability.

2) Seal Swallowing Ability.

3) Talent Blessing Ability.

After a few minutes of consuming those three items, Leo received a system notification asking him to select an ability to upgrade.
