MTLNOVEL Chapter 115: Status
There wasn't much to prepare since everyone had their things in the Storage ring. So, they set off towards the Tomb in the distance.
As they climbed down from the hill's top, Veer said, "Let's talk about what we have first so we can fight properly. I'll start. I'm a Battle Mage with...."
He went on to explain everything about himself. He didn't really care about betrayal because Aurora was the last person who would betray him, and Rain was also trustworthy. After all, he could see their status to some extent.
As he already knew Rain's Aspect, he turned towards Aurora and looked at her status. Since she was a Wife Candidate, it showed more information.
[Name – Aurora Valerian]
[Age – 19]
[Race – High Elf]
[Rank – E]
[Aspect – Predator's Gaze (A-Rank)]
[Description – Predator's Gaze allows the user to lock onto a target, perceiving every movement and intention of the enemy with uncanny clarity. This Aspect enables the user to fire a barrage of projectiles that unerringly strike the target, regardless of distance or obstacles in the way. Once the user focuses on a target, they become the absolute priority, ensuring no escape.]
[Love Metre – 97/100 (Will conquer the world and present it at your feet.)]
'What a scary Aspect. No wonder she chose Marksman Class,' Veer thought.
After hearing everything from Veer, Aurora raised an eyebrow and said, "I knew your Aspect couldn't be that simple, but damn, it's ridiculous. But thank God those lizards are too arrogant to care about you."
Veer smiled wryly, but he didn't say anything. He just said, "Yeah, now tell about yourself. Oh yeah, I can actually see your Aspect, so exclude that."
Noticing his words, Rain thought, 'So, he is even sharing that.'
Veer proceeded to tell about his abilities and about her Aspect, so that she could understand it better. At first, she was surprised but quickly accepted it.
Many types of Aspects existed in the world, from simple to the most bizarre, so it really wasn't that surprising. In fact, there were a few who could see others' information.
Aurora hummed and said, "That's pretty much what I've guessed after experimenting. I guess I'm on the right path."
She shook her head and added, "Thanks, anyway. As for my abilities, I have the Silent Arrow, a few explosion arrows, some deadly ones. Yeah, most of my things are related to archery, so you can guess."
"An arrow that can phase through objects?" Veer asked.
"I have it."
Veer was speechless, but remembering her status, he sighed. She really could just get whatever she wanted. These arrows were nothing before the things given to her by her clan.
"So, what about you?" Aurora asked, as she glanced at Rain, who fidgeted slightly.
After some time, she spoke, "I don't really have anything aside from my Aspect. I have a dagger and Silent Step. It basically allows me to teleport near my dagger."
"Just those two?" Aurora frowned.
"Don't worry about her," Veer waved his hand. "She's a deadly Assassin, believe me."
"I know that, but still..." Aurora shook her head and said, "I'll give you something if we stop. We'll need you to finish a lot of opponents."
Aurora then went on to speak about the terrain and things they could encounter. She even had made plans while they were talking.
Veer stayed silent and simply nodded occasionally while giving any idea in her plans. It was a surprising thing for Rain, as she had always seen Veer having some plan.
She also felt warmth filling her heart, as the duo were considering her to be their teammate. They were including her in most of the plans, taking her abilities into consideration.
She smiled lightly and thought, 'I need to work hard to not let them down. I won't let this chance go away.'
Stay tuned with empire
Veer suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh yeah, we're forgetting the most important thing. Rain can't fight."
Only then did Rain remember that she still couldn't control her strength properly, similar to her Mana, which was getting out of control if she tried to overexert.
Aurora raised an eyebrow and asked, "What happened to her? I don't think that sprain was that serious. See? She is running just fine."
Instead of answering, Veer turned to look at Rain, who nodded after lingering for a while.
Veer smiled at that and then told Aurora about their journey and how they had ended up fighting the Dark Mist Guardian. He told her everything, including Rain's Aspect.
The group stopped, as Rain turned to look at Aurora, who was giving her a dumbfounded look. She had also stopped, as the sudden drop of information sank in.
After some time, she sighed and said, rubbing her forehead, "What the hell! Four S-Rank Aspect...is the world going to end?"
"Let's not pretend as if S-Rank Aspects are incredibly rare," Veer laughed and said.
S-Rank Aspects were rare, and even top organizations and institutions would fight to get them. But most of them died early due to many reasons, which made the actual number of S-Rank Aspects look very rare.
Aurora knew it very well, but she was still shocked. After all, Rain's Aspect was just too ridiculous and could make her strong even without actually relying on an increase of Mana Pool.
The ranks of Aspects were decided on the potential Stage they could take a person, so an S-Rank Aspect could easily make a person's Mana Core S-Rank.
In the next second, she vanished from her place and appeared behind Rain, having a thin needle on her throat. Her low voice sounded in Rain's ear, "Tell me honestly, do you have any plans of betraying him?"
Anyone hearing that question would consider Aurora stupid, but Veer knew otherwise. He just shook his head and said, "Don't scare her and let her be."
Feeling the needle on her throat, Rain replied calmly, "I can ask the same from you."
Veer was speechless as he thought, 'Are they ignoring me?'
He was going to stop them but heard some noise to his left. Frowning, he listened to it closely and thought, 'A battle?'
