Saquin's eyes beamed for a moment before returning to their normal dull.
"Seems like the ability modifies my base vision too." Saquin noted. His sight had undoubtedly improved right after the assimilation of the ability.
I should test run it.
Saquin's eyesight sharpened drastically as he felt his eyes grow colder. And colder they did. His black eyes were freezing as they turned crystalline white.
Just then.
Saquin felt his body dull, his eyelids almost gave way as they threatened to close, permanently.
But.
Voom!
Saquin scrambled up to his feet in a flash.
That was stupid of me.
[ Oh, how is Mr. 'My pierced heart is doing just fine' doing? ]
Miss Margaret's sarcastic words came through to Saquin. For a while, he just stood still, not caring one bit about the expending time, and gathered himself.
"Hmm, doing just fine. Can't even feel it." Saquin finally retorted after a few seconds had passed.
[ Yep, you definitely are not. ]
"Yep." Saquin nodded with a smile. He could not help but think it would have been better if he could feel it. Maybe then, he won't forget he was in a near-death state.
[ Remember Child, you might be part Zombie, but you are part human too. You are still very much a living being. Always keep this in heart. ]
"Hmm." Saquin nodded in agreement. "Once again, thank you, Miss Margaret."
What she said is true, I am very much human as zombie, I should never forget that...
Saquin took a deep breath in as he shook off his drowsiness.
"Continue."
[ Assimilation process of Mundane Ability, Telekinesis, started... Assimilation successfully. ]
"Huh, fast and simple. I like that."
This time, Saquin did not try to test the ability. He would do all that after he is fully healed.
"Now for the two Unique-Cores."
[ Feathered Royalty (Unique-Core).
Description: You are royalty of the winged ones, you should look like one. The clothing of the ones close to those who fly not in the sky but in the heavens.
Ability:
- Best thing to fly in.
- Assimilates all Armour and Outfit related Core into itself.
- Radiates a Regal Aura for Royalty.
- Boosts personal defense and provides a small boost for assimilated Cores.
- Always clean.
Item is Gradeless and strength is determined by the User. ]
Saquin looked through the description and abilities. He then decided to bring out the Core before judging.
At that moment, Saquin's clothing caught fire and burned into a crisp in a second.
"What the fuck?" A stunned and naked Saquin cursed.
Just then.
Saquin's chiseled physique was covered up as a white garb appeared on him. The white garb tightened on his body, then, in no seconds, it changed form.
Saquin stood there and checked out his new fit.
He was now fully dressed in full white. A hooded, short sleeve, loose jacket sat over a tank top. His trousers were a bit loose, just like he liked it, while his boots were in a sense sneakers. Sneakers with a streamline design, with two wings folded back sitting by the top of each side.
The whole get up seemed to be made of really tiny feathers, and was extremely comfortable inside.
What Saquin fancied the most was his fingerless gloves and with extension, the beautiful feather patterns that ran down both his arms.
"Objectively, this is the best loot so far."
Saquin smiled to himself. He really loved the aesthetics of the Grolly Cores.
"Let's move on."
[ Flame Furnace {Unique Core}.
Description: The flames here are those of the strongest Dragons. A multi-purpose furnace.
Ability:
- Furnace.
- Dimensional Space. ]
"Okay, that is vague."
Saquin summoned the Core. It appeared in his hands immediately. It was a little box that was no bigger than a normal toolbox.
"Okay, I think I should postpone checking this out to the future."
Saquin concluded and returned the Core.
"Next are skills. Five of them."
Saquin read through each of their descriptions.
"I will deal with them later too. I have a feeling my ability would mutate some which would just waste energy that I don't have."
"Next, Core Set."
[ Grolly Bird Core Set (Pinnacle-Class Grade One) (0/500)
- Wing Of The Wingless {Transformative}
- Grolly Crossbow {Weapon}
- Frost Feather Sword {Weapon}
- Clawed Grasp {Armour-Weapon}
- Light Feet {Armour-Transportation}
- Grolly Light Armour {Armour}
- Grolly Fit {Fit} ]
"Oh, it seems if one gets all the Cores available from a specific species it would come together to form a Core Set. Nice." Saquin deduced.
"It also seems Cores are divided into types."
Saquin noted.
Hmm, I don't have much time left...
Don't have much left to check either. But let's go faster.
[ Earth Motor -- Pinnacle-Class Grade One(0/100).
Description: A transportation Core that can traverse anywhere as long as it is on land. ]
"A transportation Core. My wings, which I earlier thought was of the transportation type isn't. Now however, I guess I have a pure transportation type now."
Saquin mumbled absentmindedly to himself.
It seems my mental fortitude is growing weaker with my body. Seems fair...
[ Knowledge Core (2).
Description: These are wanted piece of equipment that would, definitely, grant the subject a valuable piece of information. ]
"Definitely, huh? I will come back to you later."
Saquin decided to put them aside for now. He was not in the right state of mind to receive information that would most likely be very useful.
"For the last piece. The Crystalisse."
[ The Crystalisse (Soul-Bound Weapon {Dagger}) ]
A transparent dagger fell into his hands.
"Casel's dagger." Saquin played with the small dagger. "The system had said it forcibly extracted it. Ideally, something bound to the soul should be destroyed with it. So, is this another gift from you Miss Margaret?"
[ You guessed it. You would leave the Underworld soon, and I am not sure when you would be back, that should serve as a good enough parting gift. ]
Saquin had a gentle smile on his face as he listened to Miss Margaret.
Is this what it is like to have parents?
[ Bind Soul-Bound?
{Yes} - {No} ]
The system's notification brought him back to reality.
"Yep."
[ Bounding Successful. ]
"Yet another peaceful event."
At that moment.
The five minutes were up.
[ Allocated preparation time is up. ]
[ Rewards shall be distributed now... Arranging distribution sequence.
Done.
Allocating Supreme Ability...
Allocated. ]
[ Congratulations, you have Awakened a Supreme Ability, curtsey of finishing your Empowered Trial. ]
[ Ability: Prince Of Space(Supreme) { Human-based } -> You are a royalty of space, command it to your desires. ]
